Global astrology trivia: Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and Xi Jinping have the Sun in the third decanate of Gemini. 

The Sagittarius lunation

Data is: November 26, 2019 at 3.05.40pm GMT

The Moon-Sun lunation is semisquare Saturn – planet of safeguards, recession, hardship and farmers; inconjunct Uranus – planet of disruption, civil unrest, protests and change; and semisquare Pluto – planet of crime, compulsory enforcement, groups, disinformation and division

The cycle’s end date is December 26

America’s new Moon chart

Chart data is: November 26, 2019 at 10.05.40am EST (77W01; 38N53)

The lunation is in house 11 (Congress) so major national events involve the Democrat’s impeachment investigation.  (They could take a vote on impeachment before Christmas.) Jupiter, the cusp ruler of house 11, in house 12 (crime, FBI, secrets, anonymity and whistle blowers) is conjunction Venus (a woman).

Saturn conjunction Pluto in house 1 (the people) is a very prominent feature of the chart. Saturn forecasts freezing cold, storms and floods > hardship for farmers > fear and insecurity. Pluto has the country polarized and divided and awash with propaganda and misinformation. Pluto is the cusp ruler of house 10 (Trump) so the president is spreading misinformation and stoking division.

Uranus (radicals and whistleblowers) in house 3 (the press) is opposition Mars (strife, vulgarity and feuding) in house 9 (the public forum). The Twittersphere is exploding with hate and anger. Mars is the cusp ruler of house 10 (Trump).

And with Mercury in house 10 Trump’s comments and claims are stirring up heated debate and controversy.

Trump’s impeachment investigation

It gathered momentum with the public hearings. Democrats and Republicans are interpreting witness evidence accordingly and trying to win the public’s mind via the press, television, social media and tweets. Public opinion supports the investigation.

Rudi Giuliani is a wild card. In Trump’s chart, as his lawyer, he’s ruled by Uranus and house 9; as his friend he’s ruled by house 11; and Saturn in house 11 indicates that Trump can experience major losses through his friends.  Mars the cusp ruler of house 9 is the planet of hang grenades.

Transit aspects to Uranus in Trump’s chart could produce explosive revelations.

In America’s chart…

Progressed Sun (Trump and the political agenda) in house 11 (Congress) is semisquare birth chart Pluto (crime, impeachment, stonewalling) in house 9 (the courts and constitution); inconjunct birth chart Saturn (the conservative forces) in house 5 (Wall Street); and trine Jupiter (the high moral ground, ethics and religion).

Progressed Venus (a woman) in house 12 (whistleblowers) is square progressed Pluto (propaganda and disinformation) in house 9 (social media, Twitter, Facebook and television).

Progressed Moon is parallel progressed Uranus – the planet of startling revelations, shock events and whistleblowers – in house 12 (secret activity and crime).  It was at peak power on July 17, 2019 and ends on June 20, 2021. Uranus is the cusp ruler of house 10 (Trump).

Progressed Moon is inconjunct birth chart Uranus > end date is December 17

If the Democrats vote to impeach Trump in late December 2019 a trial will then be held in the senate. It could last from six to eight weeks.

On February 6, 2020 progressed Moon opposition birth chart Sun in America’s chart starts > peak power date March 5 > it activates all the Sun progressions and sign posts an 8-week time-frame during which major political events involving Trump’s impeachment can occur.)

In Donald Trump’s chart…

Progressed Uranus (unconventional conduct and shocks) in house 10 (his public standing and reputation) and cusp ruler of house 7 (Ukraine) is opposition birth chart Moon the intercepted ruler of house 11 (Congress) – a long time high-discord progression adversely impacting his mentality and popularity.   

Progressed Sun (power and authority) in house 1 (his personality) is semisquare birth chart Jupiter (hope and optimism) and semisextile progressed Saturn (worry, fear and loss)

Progressed Jupiter is square birth chart Saturn in house 11 (Congress)

Progressed Mars (strife, fights and irrational anger) in house 2 (his finances) is semisquare birth chart Mars in house 12 (self-undoing and secrets) > Mars is cusp ruler of house 9 (the courts, legal battles, Rudi Giuliani and Twitter) > he’s losing the court battles and performing for his voter base on Twitter

Progressed Mars is sextile progressed Pluto (division, crime, disinformation and stonewalling) in house 12 (crime) > peak power date is June 5, 2021 > will divisions appear within the Republicans?

Progressed Mercury (his thoughts) is sextile birth chart Jupiter (legal matters, courts and finances) > peak power date is June 14, 2020 > the controversy (Mercury) is about his tax returns (house 8-Jupiter)

Progressed Moon is parallel birth chart Mars in house 12 (self-undoing) > peak power date is December 14 > all the Mars progressions are stimulated > the furious president is in big strife > he’s fighting and feuding – saying things that can bring about his self-destruction > end date is February 25, 2020

December 2: Progressed Moon is semisextile birth chart Neptune > end date is December 28 > Neptune is not involved in any major progressions > it’s the planet of fraud, schemes, lies and incomprehensible nonsense

December 8: Progressed Moon semisextile progressed Neptune starts > peak power date is January 4 > Neptune, the planet of bribery, is the cusp ruler of house 8 (the government’s money and his tax returns)

If the Democrats vote to impeach Trump in late December 2019 it will be under this major Moon-Neptune progression in his chart.

Then progressed Moon is semisquare birth chart Saturn – planet of loss in house 11 (the Senate) – on February 19, 2020 – stimulating all the Saturn progressions; and sextile birth chart Mercury (in house 11) – on February 20, 2020 – stimulating progressed Mercury sextile progressed Jupiter. At this time in his chart the harmony and discord is pronounced and variable.

On February 5, 2020 progressed Mercury sextile birth chart Uranus starts and on February 15 (give or take a few days) progressed Midheaven sextile birth chart Neptune starts. In Trump’s birth chart Mercury and Neptune form a square aspect so the progressed harmony is stimulating birth chart discord.

In China’s chart…

Progressed Sun (China’s leadership) is trine progressed Pluto (subtle force, coercion, crime, websites and cyber espionage) > progressed Sun is in house 10 (the administration and business activity) and Pluto is in house 7 (foreign powers, international relations, disputes and war)

Progressed Venus is sesquisquare progressed Saturn > peak power date is July 22, 2020) > Saturn is the planet of recession, tariffs and farmers

Progressed Midheaven is trine birth chart Sun (peak power date is April 3, 2020); parallel birth chart Mars (peak power date is February 25, 2023; and sesquisquare progressed Mars (peak power date is April 26, 2021) > peak power dates won’t be precise > Mars forecasts aggressive activity, disputes and strife

Progressed Moon is conjunction birth chart Mars > end date is December 17 > all the Mars progressions are stimulated

Progressed Moon is parallel birth chart Midheaven > peak power date is February 8, 2020 > China is getting international attention for all the wrong reasons

December 4, 2019: Progressed Sun square progressed Saturn starts > big problems for China’s economy > a plunge in confidence > a losing streak for China’s political leaders > big losses due to the tariff war 

December 9: Progressed Moon is parallel progressed Jupiter > Jupiter the planet of finances, higher prices, trade, religion and Uighur Muslims is in house 12 (secret activity, internment camps and detention centers)

December 18: Progressed Moon sextile progressed Neptune starts > peak power date is January 15, 2020 > Neptune is the planet of exaggeration, confusion, chaos and spies

(China and Donald Trump have this aspect at the same time so who’s zooming who?)

December 25: Progressed Moon is parallel progressed ascendant (the people)

December 29: Progressed Moon parallel birth chart Venus starts > peak power date is March 15, 2020 > Venus is in house 9 (trade and internet)

In the United Nation’s chart…

Progressed Mars (strife and disasters) is square (obstacle) progressed Jupiter (finances and religion) > peak power date is February 3, 2021

Progressed Mercury is sesquisquare (agitation) progressed Pluto > peak power date is October 5, 2019 > Pluto when afflicted signs for division and disunity

Progressed Sun is inconjunct birth chart Uranus > peak power date is October 31, 2020 > Uranus in house 2 (finances) is the planet of unrest, protests and revolutions

December 13: Progressed Moon is sesquisquare birth chart Jupiter > end date is January 10, 2020 > progressed Mars (war) square progressed Jupiter (trade) is stimulated > the UN has financial difficulties > the US-China trade war is a big concern
