Before a solar eclipse arrives (as one will cross the US on April 8th), a lunar eclipse acts as a herald.

As things come to a head for Donald Trump when the civil fraud trial in New York 30 day limit expires, this celestial event does not bode well for him. Here’s Ellie Adams’ take on the overall happening:

Now, I’ve done a chart for the ‘exact’ astrological point of the opposition between the Sun and Moon in Palm Beach, Florida, just to bring the idea home to #45.

There is one inconjunct for that moment.

Neptune Inconjunct Midheaven

While you are young, you won’t have a clear idea of what you want to do in life. In fact you may never orient your life around a single idea or purpose. But don’t worry. Your purpose in life may not be one that is readily defined in terms of a career or profession. More important may be your style of living or your experience of life. Simply learn to always be aware and to learn whatever there is to be learned. With your sensitivity and intuition you can understand much more than other people, especially those who have wrapped their lives around their career or profession.

(Does this sound like he has to start over again?)

Sun Opposition Moon

You will learn to understand yourself through opposition to the world and other people, perhaps in good-hearted competition with friends, perhaps through fighting. The form of your opposition is up to you. You are likely to ask friends what they think of you or of something you have done, because you want to get outside your own personal point of view and see what others see. This does not mean, however, that you are always willing to make your ideas agree with other people’s. On the contrary, you usually fight for what you believe to be right. But you want to know what others feel, because it gives you a necessary perspective.

As you get older, you will respect people who make solid worldly achievements that have concrete, observable results, such as successful businessmen or builders, people who complete large-scale projects that everyone can point to.

(Again, this last point is ironic, don’t you think?)

Post Script

And, just to show how the Universe lines things up, here’s Trump birth chart in comparison to the lunar eclipse.

Firstly, Trump’s natal Neptune is inconjunct to his natal Midheaven (which is echoed in the lunar eclipse chart). But, even more impressively, the event’s Moon is conjunct Trump’s natal Neptune (and both are opposite the event’s Sun). Now do you see why this is personal to him?
