Here are Donald Trump’s astrological strengths and weaknesses as they relate to the US Presidential Election. These are things in Donald Trump’s astrological birth chart that would help him during the election season, and also factors that may work against him.
Donald Trump is a 2016 US Presidential Candidate who is seeking the Republican Party nomination.
Donald Trump was born on June 14, 1946.[1]
Strengths in Donald Trump’s Birth Chart
The first thing that stands out from Donald Trump’s birth chart is that he has the royal fixed star, Regulus, conjunct to his Ascendant. Regulus is one of the four Royal Stars of Persia, and the only one known as “The Royal Star,” the Star of Kings, and the “Heart of the Lion” (or Lion’s Heart. Cor Leonis in Italian).
With Regulus on the Ascendant, Donald Trump can’t help but to have a “majestic temperament.”
Donald Trump is extremely lucky to have been born with this honor. Having any of the Royal Fixed Stars on the Ascendant promises power, success, honor, charisma, wealth, and special talents as long as one mandatory condition is met (explained below).
Regulus, in particular, also promises military honors and victory over enemies.[2] This influence is doubled because Donald Trump has Mars near the Ascendant. Mars near Regulus promises honor, fame, strong character, public prominence, and high military command.[2]
Not enough good things can be said about having Regulus conjunct the Ascendant. It makes one courageous, frank, and noble. It allows Donald to see the big picture of things.
those who have this star prominent are esteemed, commanding, independent, outspoken, great-souled and honor-loving, often wealthy and born leaders of men.”[3]
However, one big condition must be met for Donald Trump to receive all the benefits of Regulus. Donald must avoid revenge. That’s what Regulus requires.
Regulus promises great success if revenge can be avoided.[4] If Donald Trump engages in revenge, Regulus promises a falling from grace.
If, out of anger or hurt, the person takes revenge, then as promised with all Royal Stars, there is a falling from grace.”[4]
Falling from the grace of Regulus can bring violence, trouble, sickness, and scandal.[2] Regulus can take away all that has been gained. As long as revenge is avoided, the sky is the limit for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump’s birth chart has a “bowl” chart pattern with Uranus as the leading planet. He can be very dedicated to “Uranian” ideals, such as being an innovator, free-thinker, revolutionary, rebellious, and champion of the underdogs of society.
Donald Trump has Uranus in conjunction to his Sun and North Node in Gemini in his tenth House. The North Node is our destiny. In Donald’s case, his destiny is related to reform and collective improvements (Uranus), and to the Uranian ideals listed above. With Uranus conjunct North Node, Donald is brilliant and original, but can also be eccentric and rebellious. It’s his destiny to be revolutionary. Because the Sun is involved, he can tend to be self-absorbed, but also warm and generous. This placement also guarantees overwhelming opportunities in life.
Donald Trump has Jupiter making a trine aspect to Uranus, and this is his chart’s tightest major aspect so it will play a prominent part in his life. Jupiter trine Uranus is considered a good luck aspect. (It’s known to denote wealth, but that’s not a big shocker.) This is a humanitarian aspect. People with this aspect want to shake up society to improve the lives of the underdogs. Jupiter here grants ease to carry out the Uranian ideals. With this aspect, Donald Trump is capable of revolutionary change in a positive way rather than in an upsetting way. He’s a team player and can work well in groups. He can be full of fresh ideas. This is a real strength for Donald Trump.
Uranus is also the ruler of Donald’s Part of Fortune. This reiterates the fact that Donald Trump would do best when he focuses on Uranian/humanitarian ideals and goes against tradition. Revolutionary Uranus is a recurring theme in Donald Trump’s birth chart.
Donald Trump has Venus and Saturn in quintile aspect to Neptune. This is a rare aspect and it makes Donald deeply compassionate, understanding and tolerant of different values and cultures. He has an exceptional talent for capturing the imaginations of his listeners.
Donald’s Saturn quintile to Neptune is the closest aspect in his chart (of all major and minor aspects). This is basically exact with an orb of one minute and 35 seconds, so it’s a massive influence in his life. This gives him a special talent for grounding his ideals and dreams into practical reality. He can take an unrealistic fantasy and “make it happen.”
Weaknesses and/or Neutral Things in Donald Trump’s Birth Chart
The most pronounced weakness in Donald Trump’s birth chart has to do with communication, but it can also serve as a strength. Donald’s Mercury in Cancer squares Neptune. This makes it difficult for Donald to say what he means. People will tend to get the wrong message from his words. He can be very imaginative and poetic, but also overly emotional in his communication. Donald can lack objectivity because of this aspect. He can have an overactive imagination. On the positive side, he is intuitive and can easily tell if someone is lying to him. He’s creative. He’s artistic. He’s a dreamer. He can sell things (Mercury-Neptune aspects are great for marketing) because he intuitively knows what people want or need.
Donald Trump has Venus in conjunction to his detrimental Saturn in Cancer. Venus is our attraction factor. Saturn in conjunction with Venus presents obstacles every time you want something. Things don’t come easily to Donald Trump. He will have to work hard and overcome obstacles to get what he wants. Saturn here also gives stamina to work hard and a “work before play” attitude. He has a strong sense of duty and is in no way a slacker. People with this aspect are very hard workers; they can be workaholics. Being a hard worker can certainly help during a campaign, so this is a neutral aspect rather than a weakness. (Bill Gates also has this aspect.)
Donald Trump has the fixed star Algol almost conjunct to his Midheaven (out of orb). Throughout the ancient world, the fixed star Algol was considered “the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous star in the heavens.”[5]
However, modern astrologers say that the fixed star Algol doesn’t necessarily mean anything negative. It does indicate serious, public confrontations.
Placed prominently upon his Midheaven, Algol indicates that Donald will be publicly forced to confront the worst problems of human suffering in the community and public spheres. Whereas other public figures may get away with ignoring these issues, Donald Trump will certainly not be given any slack. Algol forces confrontations.
(Hillary Clinton has Algol in conjunction to her North Node which indicates that she’ll be forced to confront issues about her true calling—North Node—in this life.)
However, I don’t consider fixed stars important unless they are within an orb of one degrees. Algol is just over one degrees away from Donald’s Midheaven, so this may be a weak influence, if any.
Other Factors Influencing Donald Trump’s Outcome in The Presidential Election
Donald Trump has been under the influence of a Neptune transit trine to his Mercury. This has added to his appeal and given his words a hypnotic quality.
Under this influence, Donald can anticipate things before they happen and respond easily to problems. He can be very compassionate and sensitive to his surroundings. Donald Trump already has persuasive abilities in his birth chart, and these abilities are increased during this transit. The only possible downside to this transit is that Donald can become sensitive to criticism and harshness from others.
Donald’s Neptune transit began on March 14, 2015. The influence is currently waning and will be gone by September 22, 2015. It will return for the second time on January 13, 2016. It will be exact on February 11–12, 2016 and be gone by March 10, 2016. This influence will be in effect for the final time during October and November of 2016.
In November of 2016, during the general Presidential Election, Donald Trump will be undergoing a Uranus transit trine to his Moon. This is a sign of a big change, including a change of home. Donald’s Moon rules his 11th House of hopes, wishes, and groups. This transit can indicate that Donald’s hopes will be fulfilled during this time. This also indicates that unexpected friends may assist Donald and help advance his interests. Influential people will come to his aid.
During the Presidential Election on November 8, 2016, Donald Trump will have his progressed Moon in conjunction to his natal Saturn. This can indicate a time of low energy, severe mental stress, and generally a lot of problems.

Thank you for your balanced interpretation of Donald Trump’s chart. If you write an update, perhaps you can mention what you think about his Mars conjunct his Ascendant since that’s often a focus of other astrologer’s interpretations. Also, I appreciate very much that you give references for your material as it is introducing me to new resources and/or other astrologers I may want to follow.

Your description of Donald Trump leaves out the actual person who has done nothing but tell horrible lies for months. What others see as telling it like it is is telling it like he’d like it to be but bears no resemblance to the truth.

I did astrological assessments on 8 very different presidential candidates for this election. I left emotional preference out of the articles for the purpose of only assessing things based on aspects between their planets, special points, and their transits. My goal was to provide astrological facts shown in their birth charts, not personal preferences or opinions on character.

Your analysis reads as completely unbiased, and I admire your balanced discussion of the aspects as they relate to his character, life and projections of what may very well be keynotes to his presidency. I admire your balanced and cogent analysis very much, thank you.

Donald will have his feet to the fire in August through September of 2017. In the year 2018 he will be impeached and removed from office. Its in his chart; and he’s earned every painful moment of this life lesson,

Seems you misinterpreted his chart!!

Someone saying [[____]] like this has to prove what he says are “lies”…Where do you get your info? Can you read his mind?
You and a lot of other liberals are just going along with the main stream media and repeating what they say when you know nothing at all..Another sheeple…If you look at who is working in the main stream media, there are a lot of Obama admin people who got jobs they don’t want to lose ($$$) or their relatives got jobs ($$$)…The Dems have been working on that for years, trying to stack the deck in their favor to guarantee they get re-elected….Everybody who knows nothing about politics listens to their news channel and if they “like” their commentator, will vote the way their commentator suggests. But people are waking up now. Because politics is affecting the average persons life in more ways than one, especially in their pocket.Like I said, PROVE he lied..You can’t..

I greatly appreciate this insightful analysis and discussion of the new president, our President Donald Trump. It is an unbiased analysis, and to be greatly appreciated for that. It is difficult to be unbiased and fair in judging others, and certainly, such a larger than life figure as Donald Trump, however, your analysis is really on point. Frankly, it has given me a feeling of hope that during his administration, the Uranus influence on our new president will be so strongly humanitarian. It will bring our people and country together and move us forward as he has stated. I am grateful to you for publishing this, and believe that the country will take a radical turn, but it will be for the better. Thank you and happy New Year.

So far i have only read inspirational interpretations of Uranus conjunct the North Node of unfinished business and a so called “warmth’ that the Sun brings to HIS chart. When i look at it i receive more of the erratic unpredictable influences that Uranus brings to HIS karmic memory, i.e The North Node of the Moon. Perhaps i am only seeing a dangerous interpretation here since the basic guides to the aspects i have read on line only reflect the same interpretation you gave. Never the less if i were to look at anybodys chart with Uranus conjunct the North Node i would see an inventive person but a possible danger if they had any power with dangerous “toys”…it depends on the energy of the whole chart i suppose..

Fantastic analysis coming over 1 year prior to election. Bill Meridian. who is a financial astrologer was also convinced that Trump would prevail, and has some interesting thoughts on what this summer may bring regarding The star of Persia. In any event, I wanted to make a comment…no pun intended…that we may thank our lucky stars to have avoided an HRC presidency…at best she is a liar and a cheat…at worst quite possible an accessory to murder. This quote sums her gambit up quite well…”The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”
