I am approaching this blog with humility and caution due to the volatile and evolving nature of the topic. Yesterday, around 6:11 pm in Butler, Pennsylvania, located approximately 30 minutes north of Pittsburgh, there was an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Numerous questions are currently circulating like a turbulent tornado across the airwaves. In the coming days, we can only anticipate the unveiling of the motives and reasons behind the incident, although history, such as the events of JFK on November 22, 1963, suggests a degree of skepticism towards full disclosure.
Probably not unlike many of you, my phone pinged within minutes of this shocking event. “Did you hear they just shot President Trump?” The operative word, of course, being “they”. Unfortunately, the collective does have more than one reason to always believe there is a “they” behind such developments. Could this have been a lone wolf operator? It’s absolutely possible. But given the vitriol and temperature of matters in the past twenty-plus years, it’s easy to believe in a much bigger plot.
It is worth mentioning that the astrological community, myself included, has been discussing the likelihood of turbulent events like this throughout the year. My latest blog post, published five days ago, explored a collection of astrological forces in 2024 that are looming over our nation like a nervous raven, symbolizing both endings and new beginnings. This imagery resonates with the depths of our subconscious mind.

In that post I wrote the following about the Mars/Uranus conjunction which moves into an exact aspect tomorrow, July 15, 2024:
As if the cosmic stage were not already laden with intensity, the upcoming Mars and Uranus conjunction on July 15, 2024, in Taurus, promises to amplify the seismic energies at play. This celestial alignment signifies a period of heightened volatility, sudden upheavals, and radical transformation.
Mars, the planet of passion and aggression, merging with Uranus, the harbinger of innovation and rebellion, heralds a time of upheaval and revolution. Additionally, this tantric duo will be in a square aspect with the Moon in the USA's founding chart (in a nation's chart the Moon represents the people and the popular sentiment) suggesting emotional turbulence and discord, as the nation grapples with forces seeking to destabilize the status quo and usher in a new era of awakening and change.
I have been discussing the significant impact that astrology has on raising awareness and fostering understanding for a long time. While the workings of astrology still puzzle us, those who delve deep into its study often find themselves amazed by its precision. In my 2024 Astrological Forecast, I included two quotes that, in my opinion, encapsulate the core essence of astrology.
Astrology is archetypally predictive, rather than concretely predictive. Each planetary archetype has a wide range of possible outcomes while remaining true to its essential nature--- and always subject to additional influences such as human free will, depth of self-knowledge, cultural context, and other factors. It is not possible using astrology alone to predict exactly what form an archetype will take in any given situation.

Factual information alone isn’t sufficient to guide you through life’s labyrinthine tests. You need and deserve regular deliveries of uncanny revelation. One of your inalienable rights as a human should therefore be to receive a mysteriously useful omen every day of your life.

In essence, astrology acts as a guiding tool, aiding us in locating something, uncovering a potential, and gaining a deeper insight into a prevailing force or energy. Furthermore, it assigns significance to the recurring encounters with destiny that we encounter, instances where unexplainable events take place beyond rational comprehension, and seem destined to occur. Our ego-driven self often refuses to acknowledge the existence of such occurrences.
Against this background, I want to examine the moment when multiple bullets were shot from a gunman's weapon, one grazing Donald Trump's ear, and others tragically hitting a father with young children and injuring others in the crowd. It resulted in a truly dreadful and sorrowful aftermath.
Donald Trump was born on June 14, 1946 in Queens, New York, with a Gemini Sun, a Sagittarius Moon, and a Leo ascendant. These astrological signs provide insight into his personality traits. Individuals with a Gemini Sun are typically curious, versatile, and talkative, seeking constant stimulation and sometimes appearing flighty or fickle. A Sagittarius Moon suggests emotional tendencies towards expansiveness, exploration, and a desire for grandeur, although it can also lead to dogmatism and excess. As a Leo ascendant, Trump embodies expressive and proud qualities, embracing the limelight, being dramatic, and enjoying being the center of attention.
This is not a study of former-President Trump's natal chart, but an examination of the celestial forces in his astrological chart at the time when there was an assassination attempt on him. In a basic analysis, the primary planet astrologers would consider to understand what transpired in Donald Trump's life would be Mars. Why Mars? Mars is linked to aggressive behaviors, violence, adrenaline, anger, assassination attempts, firearms, bloodshed, courage, defiance, disruptions, and conflicts, among other terms associated with its influences.
At 6:11 pm yesterday, when Donald Trump's right ear was hit by a bullet, Mars was positioned at 25 degrees and 9 minutes of Taurus, in a close conjunction with Uranus at 26 degrees 15 minutes of Taurus. This astrological alignment, as discussed in my aforementioned blog, indicates a period of unpredictability and sudden events. The combination of Mars and Uranus suggests the potential for shocking and disruptive incidents with explosive and incendiary implications, as Mars symbolizes gunmen and Uranus represents fanatics.
At this particular moment, the two cousins of rebellion in Donald Trump's birth chart were found transiting his 10th house, which is incredibly significant. In Astrology, the 10th house symbolizes the most public area of a birth chart, reflecting how one is perceived by society and the contributions made. It signifies social status, ambitions, public image, and the pursuit of major goals. It is noteworthy that Donald Trump was born with his Sun in the 10th house, suggesting a life destined for prominence and influence. Thus, in line with the analogy of astrology as a guiding tool, even novice astrologers would likely have predicted that this period in the former President's life could bring forth unexpected, shocking, and potentially violent events on a grand scale.
In addition to this, his astrological chart shows Mars rising, contributing to his inherently Mars-like personality. He is perceived as assertive, bombastic, and forceful by others. It is remarkable how the now iconic images of Donald Trump, showing him with blood on his ear and face, raising a fist and encouraging a fight, could easily represent the essence of Mars. His display of courage and bravery further aligns with the characteristics associated with Mars. Hollywood could not have crafted a more fitting script than the one played out by the stars.
The final element of this dynamic cosmic pairing (the Mars/Uranus conjunction) was its tense connection to Donald Trump's Mars. This marked a significant Mars moment... a period where Mars was bound to assert itself. The specific connection I am discussing is referred to as a square (see chart above). This astrological aspect is linked to challenges, setting up a point of friction that plays out based on the energies and astrological houses involved. How he is perceived and his public image were thrown into a heart-pounding storm that the entire world witnessed within minutes. Providentially, he managed to showcase his resilience by standing up defiantly and essentially proclaiming that "the battle" continues.
We are experiencing a series of generational shifts. Today, I woke up and went to a serene outdoor spot nearby to meditate. My inner self urged me to seek tranquility. With the increasing clamor of our society in the coming months, I urge you, dear reader, to seek out activities that provide peace and stability in your life. Despite the chaos and difficulties surrounding our country, we will come through it. Each of us has the power to influence change. Let us embody love, compassion, and empathy. Say no to hatred and intolerance.
Now Go Be the Light.
