The Apprentice (2024)

They say that if you want to truly understand a person, you have to ‘see’ how they developed over time.

That’s what this film does: it gives us insight into the making of Donald Trump, the ‘tycoon’.

Roy Cohn (February 20, 1927 – August 2, 1986)

This is not a ‘nice’ man. I don’t think he ever wanted to be ‘nice’. His birth chart is randomized, so take its authenticity with a pinch of salt.

I thought that the resulting Pluto in Cancer in the 12th House (of the Unconscious) gives us a similar vibe to Trump’s Pluto placement. There are three inconjuncts, but I am loathe to delineate them. Experienced astrologers will be able to make up their own minds, here.

The combined charts of Trump and Cohn show where their energies line up: Trump’s Mercury is conjunct (within 6°) of Cohn’s Pluto; Cohn’s Moon is conjunct Trump’s Jupiter; Trump’s Mars is conjunct Cohn’s Neptune. The interactive Yod, pointing at Cohn’s Jupiter is formed by inconjuncts to Trump’s Neptune and Pluto. There is also a Yod pointing at Cohn’s Saturn, formed by inconjuncts to Trump’s Mercury and Midheaven. These, more or less, prove their relationship to each other.

In the end, Trump discarded Cohn, just like he does everyone else who has served their purpose,

Sometimes the lines become blurred between reality and fiction.
