Neptune may finally be showing its hand as Donald Trump’s miscalculations begin to undermine his bellicose platform. The Nobel Peace prize recedes into the distance as Netanyahu and Putin both short circuit his promise of instant settlements of conflicts and the economy creaks under the boomerang effect of tariffs.
On a 10.54 am birth time in his personal chart tr Neptune is now entering his 8th house for many years to come, starting off with a conjunction to the shipwrecker Scheat, usually not a harbinger of financial luck or mental clarity. Even without the birth time, his Solar Arc Neptune is conjunct his Moon now and moving on to oppose his Sun in 2026. Swampy, unrealistic, much confusion, disappointments.
His relationship with key players all point to late April as a crisis point. That is when tr Uranus is square his Mars in Leo for a final time. But it is also rattling his relationship chart with the Supreme Court and with Chief Justice John Roberts who has already issued a rare statement to say attacks on judicial branch of government are not ‘appropriate’. There will be a run up of differences and attacks through earlier April as well – so perhaps too little too late the Justices are standing up for the rule of law and the constitution. Relations won’t improve late year and through 206/27, all being equal, they will worsen considerably.
Trump is also mightily unnerved by Netanyahu or by the situation created by Netanyahu’s continued onslaught of Gaza. With sharp words at the moment; upheavals and turmoil through April there will be an explosive finish in late April into early May this year.
His relationship with Putin, who appears to be dancing rings round him, will be aggravated by events late April and much much worse in May with high-tension leading to explosive outbursts and major panic as dangerous consequences overtake the best laid plans.
His Inauguration chart is also highlighting late April into May as loss-making, confused and insecure. With a mental meltdown mid June into early July.
Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve chair, like Roberts has a slippery, evasive, distrustful relationship chart with Trump – with anxiety mounting through May between them as the Fed Reserve chart also shows stress and confusion.
No great conclusions standing on the sidelines except to point up the timeline. If it were not so important and so damaging, there would be an eerie fascination watching the coach-crash of events unfurling.
Simon Tisdall in the Guardian:
“If Robert K Merton, the founding father of American sociology, were alive today, he’d be fascinated by the Donald Trump phenomenon. Scarcely more than 50 days into his second presidential term, hapless Trump provides daily proofs of Merton’s universal “law of unintended consequences”.
Rooted in ignorance, error, wilful blindness and self-defeating prediction, Trump’s rash actions produce contradictory, harmful and often opposite results to those he says he wants. The ensuing chaos characterises what may become the briefest honeymoon in White House history.
Boomeranging US tariffs – which are to American prosperity what the Titanic was to ocean travel – are the tip of the unintended consequences iceberg. Defiant foreign retaliation has brought stock market crashes and inflation fears – the exact opposite of what Trump promised voters.”
