This TV movie is presently on Netflix (it premiered yesterday). As you may know, I’m a little bit jaded with the Hallmark Christmas shows, so this one is a bit of a pleasant surprise.
The themes of single parenthood, abandonment and adoption, on one hand, with bereavement, loss and estrangement, on the other, makes for a powerful dynamic. These two people are afraid to trust anyone, and the story unfolds gently like a proper emotional response to becoming close, through a road trip to find their pasts. There is nothing false here, and that makes a change. I suggest that you have tissues nearby, because you’re going to need them.
It’s a strange thing to experience: a complete blank of history in the middle of the time I was living in the United Kingdom. So, to be clear, I knew nothing about this woman, Donald Trump’s second wife.
Her birth chart was already on my computer program, so I didn’t have to do too much research. The timing is suspicious, but for our purposes, I will leave it as stated. There are two interactive Yods.
Jupiter Inconjunct Neptune
You are an idealist with very vivid dreams about how you want your life to be, and at certain times in your life you will follow those dreams with all your energy. But sometimes these idealistic dreams will let you down, because you are not concerned enough with what is real and possible. Your parents and other adults may pressure you to be more practical in your thinking, but you think they are just throwing cold water on your aspirations. Yet learning to handle the real world is a very important part of your development, because it is the only way you can avoid becoming bitter and disillusioned when your more impractical ideas have led you into disappointment.
Jupiter Inconjunct Pluto
You have a great deal of creative power, and the major challenge of your life will be learning how to handle it. First of all, you must realize that you will get the most out of life if you direct your energies toward helping the people around you and those you love. You will want to change many conditions in the world, which is fine as long as your reasons are not purely selfish ones.
If you use the energies of this aspect selfishly, you will have serious conflicts with authorities, persons in power and adults in general. You may try to make changes before you have learned how to do so creatively, without provoking such resistance that your efforts are blocked. To be effective, you must have the necessary skills.
Saturn Inconjunct Pluto
Even under favorable circumstances, this aspect usually means that you are resistant to change, that you hold on to any situation, no matter how bad, until it is totally intolerable. Then when change does take place, it has to create a revolution and a total breakdown of everything that came before it. You must learn to adapt to circumstances a bit more gracefully and not be afraid of occasional compromise.
This aspect usually means that you are tough and can contend with a great deal of adversity, but don’t develop an attitude that makes adversity inevitable.
You may find it difficult to get along with others, because you are unnecessarily afraid of what they want from you. Learn to associate only with people whom you can trust.
Donald Trump? (1992 – 1999)
In my opinion, this was not a good marriage. And if the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit has any merit, the Donald was already messing about even while he was married to Marla. What a nasty guy, eh?
It doesn’t take a genius astrologer to see that Marla was unequipped to handle Trump. Oh, sure, the attractions were there (his Venus inconjunct her Moon; her Saturn conjunct his Part of Fortune). But he was using her as eye-candy on his arm, as he sought to conquer the world.
YUGE! 30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump (G.B. Trudeau)
Take a look at his tail. He had part of it singed off when he decided to perch in the light bowl just below the ceiling fan blades (one of which he is pictured sitting on here). I guess he thought it was a warm place to be. I smelled smoke and said to Susan, “Is something burning?” She thought it might have been the night light, so she checked on it. Those few seconds must have been close to Chants being ignited, because I mentioned where he was, and Susan rushed to get him out of it. A bulb had burnt his beautiful tail feathers, and now he has a different tale to tell. (They will grow back when he moults in the future.)
This is an approximation of the timing of the event. As you might expect, those inconjuncts were operating for everyone at the same time, but each individual’s experience will dictate what happens to them. In Chants’ case, he had a near miss. It could have been worse.
He’s not even two months of age. We have to remember that he’s still a baby and will have to keep a close eye on him. Babyhood allows innocence to overcome adversity. Hopefully, this experience won’t scar/scare him too much. Bless.
“Strange,” I can hear people saying, “he thinks astrology applies to birds, too.” Well, yes, I do.
Deja ‘hatched’ on September 18th, nine days before Chants, but she acts so much older than him, scolding him and then kissing up to him. Only this morning did Chants let her kiss him. I wonder:
Venus Inconjunct Saturn
You need and want love, but you may not be able to get it easily.
I thought, ‘How strange is that? A bird wanting and needing love. Whatever next?’ The timing of her emergence from the egg is not exactly known. That is why I am not also looking at Jupiter inconjunct Midheaven. But, at the same time, Uranus opposite the Ascendant does explain her feistiness, so noon may be the right time after all. And the aspects linking Venus and Saturn to Mars may bring out her obvious aggression in her dealings with Chants. She’s chasing him, as if he is her prized possession.
Anyway, as I showed you before, they can stand together is peace and harmony.
I was reminded by a YouTube video by Ellie Adams, yesterday, that mental health and other healings need a prompt from one’s birth chart. In the early 1990’s, I used to ask my clients for their birth details before taking them through hypnotherapy sessions. I found it cut through the usual BS and helped me understand where they needed the most help.
The planet that gave me the most information was Saturn. The sign, the house and the aspects to it were the bread and butter of how each person approached their father and other authority figures. Sometimes, it would also help me understand at what age of the client their father died. And, in my own case, it pinpointed the exact month my father left my mother before I was even born. It is that informative.
Saturn Returns
Over time, we get to see how we’re doing, when measured against the natal chart. It’s called the Saturn Return which happens every 29 years (approximately). A qualified astrologer can help you understand the implications, and sometimes the significant events, that will have happened then. Ellie and I have compared notes on a couple of occasions, and it seems phenomenal how accurate the timings were.
And, just to make a point of it, Saturn is the Ruler of this 3D world. That’s why it is necessary to pay attention to it. You shall not move on to the next level, until you have learned all your lessons here.
Now, ordinarily, I wouldn’t bother with Middle Ages popes, but this one kind of stands out from the rest.
Obviously, his birth date and time are unknown, so I have only a limited awareness of the Alexander Borgia rule as Pope. He was such a bad boy, fathering several children with his mistresses. So, Venus inconjunct Uranus and Mars inconjunct Neptune at his death would tell you why Aleister Crowley thought he was Borgia reincarnated.
Alexander VI’s ‘fatal’ North Node is within 3° of Crowley’s natal North Node in Aries (and by extension, my own @ 10° Aries). There is a long streak of libertinism running through our charts, for sure. But is it real? I wonder.
It’s hard to believe this happened 30 years ago. It proved to be a turning point in Elizabeth II’s UK tax strategy. The government paid for the restoration, and the Queen started paying taxes.
Uranus and Neptune conjunct Capricorn Rising seems to be the ignition point. (I wonder why I never looked at this event before now.) I used to live in Eton, just across the bridge from Windsor: I could see the castle from my building’s bathroom. So, this feels a bit more personal than most events. I can only imagine how Her Majesty felt.
The point of comparing this event with Elizabeth’s natal chart is to see what ‘exactly’ was going on. The almost exact conjunction between Elizabeth’s Saturn and the event’s Part of Fortune @ 24° Scorpio implies that this was always meant to be. The Uranus/Neptune/Ascendant conjunction from the event chart is wholly contained in Elizabeth’s 12th House, representing (I suppose) her worse nightmare come true. Her Sun/Part of Fortune conjunction is inconjunct the event’s Sun/Mercury conjunction. Timing is everything.
Aleister Crowley (October 12, 1875 – December 1, 1947)
Up until now, I have avoided this individual, like the plague. It’s not hard to work out why: he personified ‘evil’. But, as always, when you actually look at the person, new insights appear.
There is a Yod (Finger of God), formed from inconjuncts to Venus from the Moon and Pluto. I think that explains everything, at least to me.
Moon Inconjunct Venus
You need to be loved, even more than most people, particularly by your mother or another woman who takes the place of your mother. This need for love will be the force behind many of your actions. If you don’t find the love you are looking for, you will develop an insecure hunger for love from everyone you meet. However, you may express this in very strange ways, such as a desire for food, especially sweets, which unconsciously represent love to you.
Venus Inconjunct Pluto
With this aspect you must learn a great deal about the kinds of friends you want and the kinds of experiences you will have through other people. Even while you are still young, you may meet persons who are quite difficult to get along with, but who seem to be impossible to get away from, even when you want to. You may be fascinated by such persons, or circumstances may force you to stay with them. These people do have a definite role to play in your life, but it may not always be a pleasant one. They will teach you something about life or about yourself.
So, was it just a way to meet women (presuming, of course, that his interest was in them and not men)?
He Who is Without Sin May Cast the First Stone
I am always mindful that ‘there, but for the grace of God, go I.’ That’s why I compare my birth chart to others’ birth and death charts. In this case, Aleister’s North Node is within 3° of my own. And his natal Saturn, ‘fatal’ Ascendent (if his 12-noon death time is correct) and my Sun/Jupiter conjunction are close. Even my Moon and his natal Mercury are close, as is my Neptune and his natal Sun. We are connected.
