Autumn Equinox 2020's transits to Trump natal planets

Autumn 2020's Cosmic Weather in Trump World - and in Ours

by Jude Cowell

August 5, 2020: Perhaps you've already seen the DC version of the Autumn Equinox 2020 Horoscope so today let's view a synastry grid between Donald Trump's natal planets and the Autumn Equinox 2020 planets as transits to his chart.

The following information is an attempt to make a little sense of which planetary influences will be in operation for Trump along with their potential expressions until at least Winter Solstice 2020 although some September transits may last longer due to retrogradation or other factors that are beyond the limited scope of this post. Also beyond the scope are applicable progressions and directions which curious readers may want to set up for themselves in order to gain a wider perspective:

Trump natal across; Autumn Equinox 2020 down: as you see an aspect key of sorts is penned on the image in case anyone needs it (right column). Circled are the beneficial or helpful aspects (sextiles, trines); negatives are squares, oppositions, minors such as a semi-square and a sesqui-square, plus, 2 inconjuncts, aka, quincunxes which are color-coded. (N = natal 1946; Tr = transits 2020; any, all, or none may apply and may be activated by other planets at some point in time).

Tr Moon trine n Pluto: insight into the uses of power; powerful public contacts; behind-the-scenes events; secrets (Pluto) brought into a public spotlight (Moon); successful manipulation of the public (via PR, propaganda, and/or tweets).

Tr Mars trine n Mars: aid from those with similar goals (staff, donors, police or military, supporters); energy for taking action.

Tr Venus sextile n Jupiter: large social events; successful networking; public contacts; appearances are what's important; appeals for help; vulnerable to flattery; exploitation of others; detachment or isolation.

Tr Venus sextile n Uranus: inconstancy in relationships; unusual contacts or meetings; projecting charm and/or sympathy (psychopaths are good at projecting traits they do not possess - in brief spurts).

Tr Moon sesqui-square n Venus: distorted perspectives; misguided priorities; confusing judgments (personal and/or legal).

Tr Mercury square n Saturn: narrow, limited, sober, and/or focused thinking, ideas, plans; delays; restrictions or blockages in communications and/or travel; harsh judgments.

Tr Jupiter square n Jupiter: leap first, look later; foolish ideological premises or outreach: cynicism; making excuses.

Tr Saturn opposite n Venus: tension or limitations in relationships and/or joint ventures; bad behavior; anger; disappointments; resentment; a depressed or oppressed viewpoint; isolation; separation.

Tr Uranus square n Pluto: shifts in political power; changes in economic control; fear of loss; intense emotions and possible trauma; generational conflicts, clashes, challenges.

Well, there it is and, "it is what it is." If any of these potentials sound familiar it's probably because some of these influences upon his natal planets are, or have been, ongoing. And I should note that in no way do I crow over any difficulties shown here for him - mainly because Trump now plays the role of POTUS which means that his troubles belong to the American people as long as the Trump regime continues to bedevil us. And ostensibly for some time to come.

As you know, much can happen causing conditions to shift between August-September and the 2020 Election on November 3rd. Here are a few cosmic happenings of note that have been previously covered on SO'W: Just Before Election 2020: Trump's Nodal Return in October, on November 12, 2020 is the Jupiter-Pluto Conjunction #3 of 3, and on the day the Electoral College is scheduled to vote A Total Solar Eclipse: December 14, 2020 occurs in the 4 South Saros Series. And just after Winter Solstice 2020 perfects the Great Conjunction of societal planets Jupiter and Saturn @00AQ21 conjunct US Inaugural Sun (POTUS), a cosmic event which, along with the themes of the 4 South Solar Eclipse, will catapult all of humanity into 2021 as a 'new order' begins and the World Economic Forum meets in Davos over its grand re-set agenda.

DC Horoscope: Autumn Equinox 2020

March 16, 2020: Well, here it is, the DC Horoscope of Autumn Equinox 2020, timed by the moment the Sun reaches 00Lib:00:00 on Tuesday September 22nd at 9:30:31 am EDT with Scorpio rising in DC. Chart-ruler Mars (co-ruler Pluto) makes two applying aspects in the chart, a square to Saturn (1A36), then a square to co-ruler Pluto (4A27) and of course, a Rx chart-ruler ups the chances of delays and difficulties, temporary though they may be:

As you can see, 6th house Mars is retrograde and symbolically moving back toward opposition with rising Mercury in Libra (24:15) suggesting that previous debates will continue (opposition exact September 24th at 6:53 am) but the two dynamic squares from Mars are what take precedence as to how things will proceed. Note that the Sun @00Libra conjuncts America's natal Midheaven in our nation's late afternoon chart (July 4, 1776 5:09 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA) as is the case every year. Significantly, this particular Autumn Equinox chart contains the November 3rd 2020 Election--assuming that voting goes on as scheduled, even with the fly in our ballot ointment being voting planet Mercury stationing and changing direction on Election Day and possibly suggesting changed minds if not machine glitches and/or hacking. So how will things proceed within Autumn Equinox 2020 conditions?

According to chart-and-Equinox-ruler Mars, forceful in his own sign of Aries and in 6th house of Service and Health, a square to restrictive Saturn (still strong in his own sign of governmental/business oriented Capricorn) indicates frustrations, delays, and difficulties aggravated by Mars Rx, as noted. Resistance to authority, bad timing, and threats are potentials and patience is necessary for these conditions are only temporary and should clear up soon after Mars turns Direct on or about November 14th.

However, transit Mars goes on to square powerful Pluto, the wealthy, stealthy manipulator, and karmic conditions ramp up as intense power struggles are engaged, jealousy may rear its ugly head, and motivations are of a vengeful nature. Some form of destruction is evident, military battles are a possibility, and anger turns to rage as past actions interfere with current progress. Various plans may have to be delayed yet if this forceful Mars-Pluto energy can be positively channeled, much can be accomplished. Whether with positive or negative results depends upon motivations of the people involved including opponents.

Now there are several other chart factors of note in this chart but since I'm feeling rather fussy tonight, I shall leave many of them for you to discover and, if you wish, leave your on-topic comments with this post.

Yet for anyone desiring more information, here's some concerning the 4 North Prenatal Solar Eclipse of this Equinox (Eclipse @00Can21 conjunct 9th cusp). Or if you're wondering about the upcoming Solar Eclipse that the Autumn Equinox 2020 South Node (@23Sag56 in 2nd hou$e of the National Treasury) points toward--and allows for potentially draining conditions of resources--check out the 4 South eclipse themes that conclude 2020 in December on this handy list. Also, see lower right for dates of the three-fer Jupiter-Pluto Conjunctions which suggest ongoing actions taken by the Federal Reserve, plus, large projects by movers and shakers. Oddly enough, we might wish to note that the November 12th conjunction @22Cap52 (not '21:51' as erroneously scribbled) conjoins head-on the natal Vertex of Donald Trump (22:51). Can he turn things to his advantage as he so often does? We'll see, especially with his lucky Jupiter-Uranus trine.

Meanwhile, my friends, we can say that Autumn Equinox 2020 is full of financial and economic indicators seen in part by a problematic YOD pattern (see upper right) of crisis or a turning point (full of karmic opportunity) between money planets, the speculating pair of bubbles, inflation, risk-taking, and grand financial schemes--Jupiter and Neptune (sextile here but conjunct in the 1792 NYSE Buttonwood chart). Plus, there's values planet Venus @18Leo07 in the visible 10th house, so some new perspectives concerning upcoming conditions of change and fluctuation which are also suggested by a 2nd hou$e Moon in Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius--will be in order by September or probably before considering the mess we're already in with global shutdowns and financing. Unfortunately, US currency issues are possible so perhaps it's crazy to think it but a measure of Venusian diplomacy could be on America's menu, led by--a woman?!
