American democracy is a failed experiment according to blogger Curis Yarvin, an inaugural-gala invitee due to his “outsize influence over the Trumpian right.” He founded the anti-egalitarian and anti-democratic philosophical movement known as the Dark Enlightenment or neo-reactionary movement in which he argues that the present system should be replaced by an accountable monarchy, similar to the governance structure of corporations. He “sees liberalism as creating a Matrix-like totalitarian system” and his thinking has influenced some prominent Silicon Valley investors and Republican politicians amongst them Steve Bannon and VP JD Vance.
Born 25 June 1973 in New York he has an angry, ruthless, ultra-determined Mars in upfront Aries opposition Pluto square a Cancer Sun and Saturn in late Gemini opposition North Node – tough, driven, lacking in empathy (to put it mildly). His unconventional, mould-breaking Uranus is trine Jupiter on one side and trine Saturn on the other and widely square Venus and Mercury in Cancer.
His North Node in Capricorn is probably significant – looking for a father figure.
Tr Neptune and tr Saturn moving into Aries will bring losses and disappointment his way from this May/June onwards as they start to hard aspect his Cardinal Grand Cross first opposing his Pluto and in 2026 moving to hard aspect his Mars and Sun.
His relationship with Trump will run into a swamp of confusion by 2026 with a few glitches before then.
Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation, 24 June 1974 Lafayette, Louisiana, another Sun Cancer conjunct Saturn square Pluto. Soon after Roberts joined Heritage in late 2021, the organization established the controversial Project 2025, an expansive plan to overhaul the government under the new Republican administration. He looks rattled this June with tr Uranus conjunct his Venus in Taurus and more so when tr Neptune squares his Sun in July August 2025; and worse in 2026 with tr Saturn joining in And it’s a long slide thereafter until tr Neptune clears the square to his Saturn by early 2029. 2028/2029 will be trapped and scary for him. The Trump term will not bring him into the promised land.
Elon Musk who appears to have a free hand to run riot through government departments will feel the full weight of tr Uranus moving into Gemini in July 2025 as it collides with his can-be-neurotic Saturn opposition Neptune. Even before then tr Uranus will oppose his Jupiter in May, probably bringing a surge of over-confidence as it lights up his natal Jupiter Neptune conjunction – only to bring him crashing down as tr Uranus is opposition his Neptune in July and conjunct his Saturn in August (and so on into 2026). It won’t do much for his mental balance. By 2026 tr Neptune Saturn are square his Cancer Sun for losses and disappointment.
What gives with all these way out Cancerians??
There is not a huge amount of point in looking at their relationships with Trump since he has a track record of falling out with even fervent supporters. But for what it is worth – Mitch McConnell and DT are on a downer through 2025, with a serious low point in May/June. With Mike Johnson and Chuck Schummer there will be differences and discouragement with DT through 2025, with 2026 ramping up the aggravation between them.
Points to watch this year from the Inauguration chart – late July the Progressed Moon will square the Mars on the IC exactly for angry clashes. Towards early November the controlling Sun Pluto conjunction will have moved by Solar Arc Directions to exact; and the unloved/unpopular Saturn Venus (financial restrictions) conjunction also will be together.
