Fascinating chart above for the new swearing in of the Trump Republican Party. A new era with Uranus in earth sign on lagna trine mercury in Capricorn in 9th, trine midheaven sun Pluto in early degrees Aquarius, this is signifier of a powerful leader, a napoleonic messiah, they both came out of exile to plummet the world into wars of independence, indeed this was the ethos behind the wars of independence and the birth of a new nation state, of innovation originality and humanitarian values ….because that’s the fundamental nature of Aquarius, it’s about the people or the aspirations of the masses, who in the US at least are now feeling they have a leader who not only speaks for them but acts and behaves like them, these national non conformist attitudes cannot be underestimated in why they voted so overwhelmingly for such a flawed candidate. He may be a rascal but he is their rascal. And I can say this as a never trump-er, alas anything a better alternative to modern liberalism…
Rahu will now spend 18 months in Pisces and will conjunct Neptune in the 11th, is this a cause for concern? as it can bring together themes of illusion, spirituality, and the quest for deeper meaning, or unrealistic expectations, bordering on mass hysteria. With the 11th house lord Jupiter in Gemini in the 2nd one can you expect economic expansion.
Rahu is known for its tendency to create desires and obsessions, and can amplify Neptune's associations with illusion and confusion leading to challenges in distinguishing between reality and fantasy, particularly in areas related to dreams, escapism.
With Leo occupying the 4th house individualism or the revival of the American dream will be exemplified, the sun conjunct Pluto in Aquarius on the midheaven is alpha male entrepreneur in the extreme,
Its slogan again might well manifest as Making America great again, no restrictions on drilling or fracking etc, it’s a capitalist wet dream. Mars in cancer the 3rd will drive the collective aspiration. It is ironically a good time for as Bernie Sanders says for the democrats to go back to their working class base who they seem ashamed over in the lost election. Their version of progressive or honoring of the original meaning of WOKE has been perverted and distorted by academia who are disconnected from their tradition base.
On the international stage the transit of rahu in 18 months from Pisces to Aquarius will exhibit all the typical signs of rahu non conformity, it needs to reinvent the laws of diplomacy or conflict. This falls into trump's play book because only an individual born on an eclipse can understand or harness its power, for good or not, rahu doesn’t adhere to the good and evil play book, it writes its own history and Dan the consequences. Personally I think the world will be a safer and better place after Trump's four years because everyone will be clear about the rules of engagement and frankly if history tells us anything, we need strong leaders, individuals who can make tough decisions. If and when an alternative political party emerges from the current malaise then we are stuck with a narcissistic, rapist, corrupt and flawed individual who is what he is unapologetically.
