Ah yes, I was wondering if or when this topic would come up since presidential runs are (supposed to be) fraught with close inspection of one's past dealings and alliances--and you know that many in the corporate media already know about Trump's unsavory connections and shady deals:

Astrological Reflections on the Lionine Mars of Donald Trump
Today is September 1, 2015 and so far I have neglected to post a link to the transcript of Donald Trump's announcement of his run for the Republican nomination for president of the United States so here it is:
Trump Announcement June 16, 2015 trumpeted from Trump Tower, Fifth Avenue, New York New York.Is this your lucky day, or what? That particular morning I happened to have a TV on so was treated to the full scintillating effect of his bravado announcement and its immediate aftereffects from the media.
It remains to be seen if one of Mr. Trump's luckier days will be September 19, 2015, the day when transiting Mars, planet of warriors and those of a militaristic mindset (which he says he is) returns to natal position @26Leo--rising in his natal horoscope and triggering a certain royal 'kingmaker' star, Regulus, which rises with natal Mars in his chart! As you know, the two-year cycle of Mars indicates a new cycle of energy beginning for everyone when the planet of energy and motivation comes round again to natal degree and sign.
Astrologically, Regulus links closely with Mr. Trump's natal Mars and Ascendant (The Self) and to this ancient and archetypal star is attached a caution when it comes to achieving goals and desires: 'success if revenge is avoided'. So I must doubt that anyone would disagree that his 'if they attack me I attack them back' stance of revenge denotes difficulties in that sphere and implies that a loss of what was gained may be the result for Donald Mars Rising with Regulus Trump. If you're like me, a bully on a playground comes readily to mind with such a prominent Mars.
Plus, he and the other candidates have five months more before the first primary vote is cast--plenty of time for the Republican field to shift--perhaps away from this political provocateur!

Well, I, for one, always appreciated The Ed Show on MSNBC, a network said to be leaning toward the right with its programming. If that happens, the Rockerfellerites at MSNBC will lose at least one regular viewer--moi because their programming has given social liberals and non-Ayn-Randers a semblance of being heard even if it's only an elaborate ruse so if that illusion ends so will my viewership.
Of course, behemoth Comcast was behind the decision.

Corporate Fraud Is Costing Taxpayers Billions and Will Cause A New Economic Crash - video (w Eclipses)
Trouble Making from the Great Beyond
Ayn Rand and her Objectivism just keeps on taking and working against the best interests of the American people. And curiously, Rand's natal Venus @29Pisces, money planet of values and evaluation, is currently spotlighted by the Spring Equinox 2015 Solar Eclipse conjunct turbulent star Scheat, plus, her natal MC @4Aries (Goals; Public Status) will be conjoined soon by the September 27, 2015 Lunar Eclipse @4Ari40!
Solar and Lunar Eclipses Herald Important Events
So with the current stock market crash which began on Friday August 21st (and not within 2 weeks of September 13th), the high stress level theme of the September 13, 2015 Solar Eclipse in Virgo seems to be already in evidence yet we may ascribe a fair amount of the crisis atmosphere on Wall Street and globally to the background influence of the Spring Equinox Solar Eclipse (linked above) which fell at a critical-crisis 29th degree of Pisces and involves world markets for it conjoins the Aries Point of Global Manifestation and World Shaking Events. And of course, murky Pisces has criminal tendencies unless higher spiritual values are followed rather than the materialistic win-at-any-cost methods of cheating and exploiting other people for personal gain.
An additional eclipse caution after September is that restrictive Saturn, still in late Scorpio for now (sign of Big Business) approaches a certain Lunar Eclipse @4Sagittarius which occurred in May 2013 though it will be early November 2015 before the Saturnian encounter is exact--and transit Saturn must cross the Inauguration 2009 Moon position first,(29Scorpio) which is a depressive indicator to add to the transiting Jupiter-Saturn square of frustration and the deceptive, inflationary Jupiter-Neptune opposition soon to form across the Virgo-Pisces axis in cyclic fashion with Jupiter-Saturn beginning in 2000 (23Tau) and Jupiter-Neptune in 2009 (27AQ.)
Altogether such cosmic factors over the next several weeks make for difficult conditions that will be reflected upon the Earth especially when decent earthlings must deal with crooks and fraudsters of the global criminal syndicate who think they're really really special.

Sept 2015: Cosmic Events and Pope Francis to Washington DC
Amidst 3 Cosmic Events of September 2015 a Pope Comes to Call on America
by Jude Cowell
As three major cosmic events dot our September 2015 calendar, an illustrious visitor bestows a golden papal glow to the proceedings scribbled on Washington's earthly schedule.
1. First is the September 13th Solar Eclipse @20Virgo which falls within orb (1'13") of the natal Neptune of Pope Francis (December 17, 1936.) As you know, Neptune is the planet of the Divine Source on a positive level, the masses, mass media, the glamour of the silver screen, things that spread (like propaganda and ideas), and many other negative Neptunian possibilities. As you may know, Pope Francis was born during a Saturn-Neptune opposition phase so adding its usual 'wild card' status which all eclipses are capable of, the September 13th Solar Eclipse contains somewhat negative themes (click or tap to read) which may catalyze or activate his natal Saturn-Neptune opposition. Perhaps this will be expressed by his topics such as how we treat the weak, poor, elderly, and ill (Saturn-Neptune) among us.
2. Next on the calendar is September 23rd's Autumn Equinox 2015 (chart shown set for DC) which involves quite a mix of portents to go around and with the Sun reaching a Cardinal Point of World Manifestation, Prominence, and Fame (00Libra), we may easily guess that one expression of this is the Roman Pope's visit to Washington DC with Sun representing leadership. In his natal chart, the Pope has a Sun-North Node conjunction in late Sagittarius. During his speech to Congress, the transiting Sun and North Node @1Libra will conjoin in a very shiny and public encounter--upon America's natal MC! (July 4, 1776 5:09 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA.) The 'god-related' solar significance of Sun-NN at MC should be noted and some form of spiritual inspiration may be experienced.
3. Finally, this stellar month nears its end with a prominent Lunar Eclipse on September 27th @4Ari40 and is thought to have esoteric or even prophetic vibes attached (tap or click to view the horoscope with details.)
Well, it's quite a full month As Above and Below--and that's not counting the dire financial and other predictions being made about September 2015 especially after the steep decline of the stock market on Friday. Is is time once again for The Fed and Wall Street gentry to work their economy-crashing voo doo?
Be that as it may, here's a view with of the natal horoscope and a brief bio of Pope Francis I if you're curious or haven't seen it with his Sun in Sagittarius, sign of The Seeker and the foreign traveler, and Moon in humanitarian Aquarius, sign of The Water Bearer, a socially concerned blend with high ideals and a tolerant temperament. If he's managed to genuinely retain such kind-hearted traits and sentiments may not go over very well with Republican congress members of the Ayn Rand persuasion. Before the Pope speaks, maybe right-wingers will suddenly remember they have other engagements to fly off to!
But really, they can't since Speaker John Boehner wrote to Pope Francis last March inviting him to address a Joint Session of Congress and as a result the Pope is to speak on September 24, 2015 at 9:15 am edt--one day after Autumn Equinox and one day prior to Pluto's Direct turn.
In fact, in the horoscope of the Pope's September 24th address, Pluto is stationing @12Cap58 ('13Cap' = "A Fire Worshiper".) Notably in Mundane Astrology, as a single planet, Pluto can play the role of 'Pope' and I won't tell you how I know, but there will be some play acting afoot. I believe topics in the news may relate to issues around the time of the Solar Eclipse @00Gemini (conjunct starry Alcyone of the turbulent Pleiades constellation--themes: mystical but judgmental; something to cry about) which manifested on May 20, 2012 in the 14 South Saros Series. 14S themes include: 'an obsessive idea is finally accepted; a long awaited breakthrough; success' due to its Mercury-Pluto content. Curiously, September 24th's stationary Pluto conjoins the Pope's natal Mercury, planet of speeches and the delivery of messages.
