Crisis Solar Returns for the U.S.
Trump’s Second Inauguration
November 2024
The horoscope for the January 2025 inauguration is extreme in nature mainly because the Sun is conjoined to Pluto only 0° 48' from exact and both the Sun and Pluto are closely semi-square Saturn (0° 22 to the Sun and 0°26' to Pluto). Obviously, it is a very conservative combination, even reactionary, with the Sun in Capricorn—the most inherently conservative sign—conjoined to Pluto, which makes extreme whatever it touches, and is itself insular. The Sun, the most elevated body angular at the M.C., configured with Saturn, underscores hard, harsh policy. One could have grasped from this inauguration chart alone that it could not have described Kamala Harris or any policy that she would have invoked.
This situation is rendered still more authoritarian, even draconian, due to the inauguration Moon inconjunct Saturn (2° 17'); the Moon is also mundane square both the Sun and Pluto. Specifically, the Sun for this noon time sets when 1h 04m 17s is in the mid-heaven, when the Moon is simultaneously in the IC with 1h 05m 44s. The difference, 1m 27s of sidereal time is less than ½° of arc. Pluto sets when 0h 58m 51s of sidereal time is in the M.C. The difference between Pluto setting and the Moon at the I.C. is 6m 53 of sidereal time which is less than 1 and ¾°of arc. This is quite ominous because it suggests a concentration of power that is not balanced by countervailing symbolism. Moon-Pluto combinations are generally not soft and sweet, other things not considered; rather, they are unwelcoming, sometimes symbolic of deprivation, rejection and loneliness. The condition of the Moon suggests not merely that Mr. Trump is serious about deportation, but that people at large immediately suffer limitation, restriction and a new form of regimentation. Mr. Trump may well make good on his promise to be a dictator on day one and declare martial law immediately.
That there will be a severe, unwelcome response is indicated by angular Mars in the third house near the I.C. Transiting Mars, which is retrograde, will station on February 24, 2025 at 21° Gemini 55' closely opposite the Sun in the U.S. chart, which is at 21° Gemini 30' (I use the Hazelrigg chart: July 4, 1776 at 12:16 p.m. LMT at Philadelphia, see chart below). Along the way transiting Mars will square Trump’s inauguration Moon in this chart (23° Virgo 26') on February 14th; transiting Mars will also square the U.S. Saturn (22° Virgo 11') on February 17th and transiting Mars in its February 24th station will be only ¾° shy of the trine to this inauguration Saturn. All of this points to turmoil and conflict in the country, which also extends to the head of state well before Mars reaches the I.C. of this Inauguration chart on April 7th, a day that is not likely to pass by quietly.
It is also distinctly noteworthy that Mars during this coming winter of 2024-2025 will gain a lot of north celestial latitude. When Mars has more than 2° of north latitude the price of gold rises, and when it rises by more than 3° off the ecliptic, it often goes up by more than a few percent. Mars reaches its highest north celestial latitude of the year at 4° 19' 35" just before midnight as January 21st is about to become January 22nd (EST). By the end of January 2025 transiting Mars will still have more than 4 and ¼° of north celestial latitude, which is likely to symbolize some kind of crisis and instability in the American government.
