Melania Trump making a surprise plea for Epstein survivors to be given a congressional hearing and denying categorically that she had much contact with Epstein has sparked confusion about why she has spoken out, given that her husband was trying to distance himself from the scandal. Commentators suggested she might be trying to get ahead of a story about to appear. But overall there was bafflement.
“What is Melania’s game? Is she a secret member of the resistance after all, driven to act now by Trump’s threat to wipe out Iranian civilisation and growing fears that he is descending into madness? Is there a smoking gun in the Epstein files that could yet bring him down? “
What the astrology says is that her relationship with Donald is undergoing its greatest test since their marriage in 2005 with tr Uranus conjunct the composite Sun this month and moving onto a disruptive square to the Pluto this June, over the New Year and again in spring 2027. The power balance of their relationship will be altering significantly. There is also a sense of a meltdown between them in the later stages of June and again late year.
Her birth time is not known but it is possible that tr Uranus is square her Sun/Moon midpoint around this year/next year (circa 5 Pisces) which also suggests a widening gap in their marriage. Their wedding chart from 22 January 2005 circa 7pm Palm Beach, Florida is being badly undermined now with the Solar Arc Sun conjunct Neptune; and under acute pressure from tr Pluto conjunct the Sun; and jolted by tr Uranus square the Uranus.
From reports it seems to be a fairly distant marriage with her having negotiated a healthy settlement for their son Barron and presumably herself for future comfort. But there is definitely a seismic shift ongoing in their relationship at present.
Born 26 April 1970 in Slovenia, she is a security-conscious Sun Saturn in Taurus with Mercury Venus also in indulgent Taurus trine Pluto. Her Pluto squares DT’s Sun and Moon suggesting a relationship based on a power dynamic. The marriage may have started with her having to be ‘dutiful’ but as is often the case it may well have swung the other way recently with her taking more control. Tr Pluto is square her Sun this year and next so she will be undergoing a slow and challenging transformation. Tr Uranus was conjunct her Venus last month; opposes her Neptune by late this month and moves on to conjunct her Mars from August onwards, all into 2027 – so there are considerable changes ongoing in her emotional outlook.
Her relationship with Ivanka was chilly in Trump’s first term but may be better now with less competition for attention. Melania’s relationship with Donald Trump Jnr is horrendous with a composite Mars Saturn conjunction square Pluto, hinting at toxic dislike – and it will hit the skids in a major way in 2027/28 with tr Neptune has aspects to that square.
Melania seems an unlikely renegade with her Sun Saturn in Taurus and no doubt a reason for her outburst will become clear. She undoubtedly mixed in the same social circles as Epstein/Maxwell early on in her relationship with Trump. And with Epstein’s Jupiter in Taurus conjunct her Saturn Sun she would be attracted to his wealth; his Pluto was also conjunct her Venus Mercury so he would be persuasive even if they only met at Palm Beach cocktail parties.
She has even stronger astro-crossovers with Ghislaine Maxwell with GM’s Jupiter square Mel’s Sun Saturn; and GM’s Pluto conjunct Mel’s South Node. It need not have translated into lived experiences other than passing social interactions – but intriguing to see what comes next.
