A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how transiting Jupiter’s conjunction to Donald Trump’s natal Moon and opposition to his Sun was giving him a pass on all the bad news (the Cohen testimony, rising deficit, etc.) that was popping up all around him. Under the influence of that most benevolent of planets, the president skated through that rough patch with nary a dent in his poll numbers or his swagger. (Click on “Jupiter Gives Donald Trump a Pass” to see that article.
Now, with the release of the Mueller report, Jupiter has apparently given Trump another pass. A lot of people are upset because Mueller failed to ask for more indictments and was unable to prove collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The president is claiming victory while Democrats are itching to see exactly what Mueller did find.
What’s going on in Robert Mueller’s horoscope (click here to see a partial chart done for noon on Mueller’s date of birth) is an opposition by transiting Neptune to his natal Mars. In a previous article I said that this aspect would bring more allegations of bias from the President and his surrogates. (Click on “Robert Mueller in 2019” to see that article.) However, in this case, Neptune took us in another direction.
I had predicted that Robert Mueller would release his report during the period when Neptune opposed his Mars. When the news broke yesterday that the report had been released, both Neptune and Mercury were opposite Mars in Mueller’s chart. With Neptune nothing is ever clear cut or definite and, initially, Mueller’s report seems to present us with more questions than answers.
The fact that Mueller recommended no further indictments surprised a lot of Trump’s foes. Meanwhile, there is the question of how the Justice Dept. and its new boss, will handle the report. Many are calling for the report to be made public which seems to be a good idea. However, that would open the way for people on both sides to place their own interpretations on Mueller’s findings.
My guess is that, with Neptune opposite his Mars, attacks on the substance of the report will quickly become attacks on Robert Mueller and his integrity. Since this aspect will repeat in the fall, those attacks, and the ramification of his report, will continue to be a major factor for the rest of this year.
Let me start off with a couple of things I got wrong with my reading of the New Moon on Mar. 6. (Click here to see that article and the chart.) I had hoped that the dominance of “good” aspects in that chart predicted the end of the extreme weather events that have punctuated this winter but instead we got another major winter storm, tornadoes in Alabama and flooding in the Midwest. Also, I was afraid the near conjunction of Saturn to Pluto in Capricorn might cause problems in our economy. However, it appears that we’re going to have to wait until the aspect completes in Jan. 2020 for that.
The Mar. 6 chart was a quiet chart and, at least in this country, the past two weeks have been relatively quiet. (The terrorist attack in New Zealand is, of course, another matter and another chart.) The major political event was the Senate rejecting Trump’s state of emergency but since they don’t have the votes to override his veto, there wasn’t much substance to that rare act to Republican gumption.
I think the conjunction of the Sun and Moon to Neptune in that New Moon chart has to do with the entry of Beto O’Rourke into the race for the 2020 Democratic nomination. O’Rourke represents a Democratic dream candidate in that he’s a younger, charismatic moderate with a common touch and schoolboy looks. Of course, the thing about Neptunian dreams is that they don’t always survive in the light of day.
Just when I thought I was through with this series I realized that I had missed a few contenders who announced their candidacy some time ago. Two of them, John Delaney and Andrew Yang, are primarily entrepreneurs who have decided parlay their success in business into a political glory.
John Delaney made his money by arranging loans to small, health care companies and other underserved borrowers. His business was recognized for it’s investment in distressed communities. He ran for congress in 2012 and won. In July 2017 Delaney announced that he was running for president.
Delaney’s horoscope clearly describes an entrepreneur. (Click on John Delaney to see a partial horoscope done or noon on Delaney’s date of birth.) He’s an Aries by Sun sign with his Sun trine Uranus. He definitely a guy who’s willing to take risks. At the same time, however, he has Mercury in Taurus and the Moon in Capricorn, so his risk-taking is always tied to a firm awareness of profit and loss.
