Obviously, this title is low-hanging fruit to temp you to read my blog posts.
I am briefly going to touch base to this morning’s news headlines as an educational tool only. Also, with public figures, we can easily follow through to the eclipses of the year, especially the Hasta Virgo Solar Eclipse on October 2nd.
I am determined to speak from what I’m seeing, knowing we all have bias, colorations, preferences as a person walking upon this earth. Please do your best to refrain from comments that are political and divisive.
Before I get to the analysis of the eclipsed chart, I wanted to share with just a few definitions for today’s lesson.
Terms:
Eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon that happens when the Earth, Sun and Moon (new or full) are in direct alignment with the lunar nodes.
Jyoti: The light (of consciousness)
Jyotisha: The science of light and how it rises in and through each of us. Also known as Vedic Astrology which is more Astronomy focused than Astrology.
Jyotisha is the modality I use to translate my own experience and intuition. A guide recently told me that I’m an Intuitive Astrologer who uses Jyotisha. This resonates. I mention this only because those of us who do practice astrology, either western/tropical or eastern/sidereal create a wake behind us with our posts. Often we will get people critiquing our interpretations, challenging our knowledge or the zodiac placements as they may not match up with their own understanding.
This comes from seeing through a tight and narrow lens. Through these posts, I’m considering sharing more with the people who see through a wide, expansive lens such as the lens of an eagle flying through the sky looking down upon Earth (and not the rabbit scurrying for cover).
Deadline Day for Donald Trump:
Today, the day of the Lunar Eclipse is “Deadline Day” for Donald Trump and he is expected to have to pay some very hefty fines that will potentially bankrupt him and there is also the court date for the hush money scandal trial which may be postponed.
There is a lot to consider with Donald Trump’s chart, including his chart in synastry with the chart of the United States. More obvious, is that Donald Trump was born on a Lunar Eclipse. In other words, just like the eclipse we had today, Ketu and the Moon were in conjunction (together) on a Full Moon in Scorpio. Kings and Royalty of all kinds (modern day we call them Presidents) are very often born on or near eclipses. It is a phenomenon that has existed in all recorded time and that is a story for another day.
Also, we should consider the profound eclipse on December 14, 2020 - which is when the decision came that Donald Trump would not be the president (this was a Full Moon Solar Eclipse in Scorpio Jyeshtha, which is his birth star almost exact degree)… I will likely talk about this in a future post.
But for the purposes of just this eclipse season and anticipating what is to come in October, we are looking at Virgo where the Lunar Eclipse is happening.
For Donald Trump, this is the second house. The second house is a Dhana house, which means it is the house of accumulated wealth, and Donald has Jupiter here at the time of his birth with Chitra nakshatra. Jupiter makes things expand and this clearly is an indication of great wealth that expands. However, Chitra nakshatra always brings a great life lesson with it and that lesson is about a shattering of illusion. If you ask any Chitra person, they can tell you all about this shattering. And often, these are series of shatterings that happen throughout the lifetime.
To analyze what this means for this eclipse, we want to look at both second house attributes as well as Virgo. Virgo, we discussed yesterday is about purification, serving, protecting and improving. Virgo has very high standards and is trying to get us to rise up to those standards through skill and methodologies and also is disappointed because the set expectations are often too high or too focused.
The second house as about accumulation of wealth, how we speak (speeches), and our values. When good, this second house, especially with Jupiter here, would bring immeasurable wealth, values and speech and we have all witnessed these through the past years. And having Jupiter here would also inflate all of that.
However, just because something is good at one time, doesn’t mean it will always be good. And since Donald Trump is born on an eclipse, eclipses affect him more than the average Joe. I call this “live by the sword, die by the sword.” This “power” has given him the ability to rise, but it is also the power that will cut him off at the knees.
We saw what happened on December 14th election results and I suspect that this current cycle is just part 2 of powerful eclipses that are not favorable for Donald Trump’s continued rise to a throne.
Remember, something is being eclipsed during an eclipse. We are only looking at the 2nd house with the Ketu/Moon are providing half of the eclipse. The other half of the eclipse is Rahu/Sun which we will discuss later. It seems obvious that some karma of the past is coming forward here for remediation.
It is easy to make predictions for someone in the limelight as there is a (digital) paper trail to follow. However, eclipses are always eclipsing something and it is about the past and karma. No matter what we think we “know,” we really don’t know what karma is fruiting until it is actually visible. And karma is just actions that create ripples, which create more actions (karma). We are all affected by these things and especially so in the case of watching this karma fruit.
Deadline Day has come and it looks like he will have to pay those hefty fines which will cause some sort of ripple into the ethers. From history and face value of his natal chart, this looks to be supported and on point. Chitra never seems to fail with those shattering of illusions.
We will have to watch how all these eclipses play out through the year to see what is revealed. Regardless of whether you are pro or no Trump, it is best to hold the highest outcome for all involved as we are in this together.
One last thought is that I could write pages about this case study. And many astrologers have. Today, I’m just looking at what is in the news currently and my personal insights.
Soon, maybe tomorrow, I will be back with another chart to examine, Princess Kate.

Thank you for sharing this information. I have been wondering about how Donald Trump's chart. Your insight was very valuable, and helped me with take a neutral look at what is going on. I really am looking forward to seeing how the upcoming eclipses affect us all.
