Trump’s Inauguration – a Vedic Perspective

Trump’s Vedic horoscope for his inauguration is fraught with problems starting with the ruling planet being in the malefic 12^th house, and Jupiter fallen in the 6^th house of employees.  His 10^th house of status is either “destroyed” or limited but there are some points of strength.

Trump’s Vedic Inauguration Chart

With sidereal Aries rising, Mars is weakened by being in the first degree of any sign, and it is located at the very beginning of the “evil” 12^th house.  This usually brings a sky rocket scenario to politicians.  There is great fanfare and light display as the rocket screams through the air but quickly falls back to earth with a thud.  However, everything will look strong before the fall.  Do not expect a quick fall from grace.  This is also very unfavorable for the outcome of military activities instigated by Trump.

Mars, is also ruler of the evil 8^th house, and its location in the evil 12^th house indicates that Trump will have a charitable or giving side to his public persona, but his health may become an issue before he ends his presidency.  The 8^th house is not limited to death, it also rules chronic health issues, and to have the ruler of chronic health issues in the house of decay is not favorable for serious health issues.

Fallen Jupiter in the 6^th means that Trump will be undermined from within to a certain point – some of his “staff” will work against him – where staff refers to any employee of the US government, armed forces or agencies.  They will bring him problems.  With the 6^th house associated with healthcare, this does not bode well for Obamacare but not all seems to be lost.

Mercury and Jupiter are in mutual reception so this means they can also be treated as being in their own signs in the 9^th and 6^th houses.  This strengthens Trump’s image or dealing with foreign lands, but after going through an early period of problems due to the influence of the evil 6^th house upon the 9th.  This will also ameliorate some of the ‘enemy within’ due to fallen Jupiter in the 6^th and it may means that Trump does provide for a replacement for Obamacare rather than remove it altogether.

A strong 9^th house means that the “gods” are looking after Trump despite any and all other negative circumstances associated with him.  This usually translates as great assistance in worse case scenarios.  Due to the strong link between the 6th and 9th houses, Trump may expereince a defciency of good luck at the beginning of his presidency which should improve as time goes by.  This is probably why Trump entered the presidency with the lowest approaval rating of any modern president.  The big question will be if the strength of the 9^th house will offset all his blemishes?  The 9^th house is also powerful in Trump’s natal Vedic horoscope

With the Sun ruling the favorable 5^th house in the 10^th house, he will glow or feel extremely confident very quickly in his new role and therefore should have a honeymoon period as president.  Unfortunately, the ruler of Trump’s 10^th house is in the 8^th “evil” house meaning that he will not maintain a favorable presidential image but could be associated with death, illness or destruction either from his policies or personally.  Also, Saturn, the ruler of the 10^th is in the last degree of a sign which weakens it.  Trump may not gain wisdom in his new role.

The Moon in the 7^th house is favorable to Trump in the way he presents himself as president in the sense he will be sensitive to his supporters in general and will come across as personable.  He will try an emotionally connect with everyone.

His inauguration has occurred in a Rahu (Moon’s north node) dasa in his favorable 5^th house which extends to June 2023.  Rahu is unfortunately unstable and also indicates someone that is driven by a demon – a notable feature in Trump’s natal chart.  A person will often lose, near the end of any Rahu dasa, everything they have temporarily gained earlier in the dasa.

Until December 2019, Trump is in his Venus bhukti (dasa sub-period).  Venus is a natural benefic and is not directly associated with any difficult house so this period in general is favorable for Trump, and with Venus in the 11^th house of wealth, either his personal wealth or the collective wealth of the USA should be in favorable circumstances while the Venus bhukti is in effect

Trump’s Vedic inauguration chart shows a mixture of circumstances which suggests he will continue on the path of outlandish behavior and policies surrounded by mixed circumstances but a lot of goodwill extended to him from “the gods”.  Circumstances will eventually turn against him due to the extremely bad placement of the ruling planet, Mars, placed in his 12^th house but his good luck or favor of the gods will increase over the time of his presidency.  This is a strange combination.
