I have been studying astrology in my own way since the last millennium. My way of understanding the various definitions of planets, signs and other objects of a birth chart has always been to put them in perspective with the lives of famous people and to compare the celestial events to the events in their lives. This approach has permitted me to compare what astrology means with what we now know about the forces of the world via physics. It is my understanding that any
Theory Of Everything must include our individual lives and collective lives.
This year's US midterm elections will be pivotal for many reasons. While many people are blinded to
President Donald Trump's misdeeds, the law seems to be closing in on him and plenty of Americans want him impeached. As it stands, if
Trump does get impeached, it would be
Vice President Mike Pence who would be promoted to commander in chief. While going through videos on YouTube I found this
CNN interview with
Michael D'Antonio who wrote "
The Shadow President", co-written with
Peter Eisner, where he takes an in depth look at
Pence. I found that
D'Antonio's insights are supported by
Pence's birth chart. Below is the synastry chart between
Donald Trump and
Mike Pence.
Pence's time of birth is not known but it is not needed for this study since I am only concerned with the role of both men on the political stage and
Trump's chart is the most important here.
The two are similar on certain points: both are
Gemini, both have
Mars in Leo. For
Mike Pence the eccentricity and wealth of
Trump (
Trump:
Sun conjunct North Node, conjunct Uranus in house 10; trine Jupiter in Libra house 2) electrify
Pence's ego symbolized by the
Sun and thought processes symbolized by
Mercury (
Pence's
Sun conjunct Mercury on
Trump's previous aspects). He feels exuberant optimism about joining the
Trump ticket in 2016 for the position of VP. Anyone of us with this alignment would feel exalted by such an apparent opportunity.
Pence's
Uranus operates in
Trump's 12th house. This represents how
Mike Pence introduced the influence of wealthy and prominent preachers to the campaign and now the presidency. In
Pence's birth chart
Saturn is opposed to the
Moon. This makes him unpopular on the larger stage of politics, he is reserved, awkward and unconvincing.
Pence has a powerful mother complex (
Moon opposition Saturn) spiced with latent homosexual preoccupations he totally dissociates from. In his birth chart
Mars conjunct Venus square Neptune is one of the astrological signatures of homosexuality. His inner complexes affect his policies and that is problematic. He sincerely believes that God wants him to reform the country, and Donald Trump, to fit scripture BUT the republic is built on a division of church and state policy as outlined in the first amendment of the constitution.
Trump also believes he is there to fulfill a "divine" mission although his mission appears to be making money. Interestingly when they formed the ticket in mid-July 2016,
Saturn was square Neptune and that represents dubious practices all around. I find it so odd that evangelicals are threatening US citizens with the wrath of God if they vote the
GOP and
Trump out of power.
On the other hand, Pence perceives himself as a solid intellectual. He sincerely believes he will outsmart Trump and all of us. Pence hates Trump's communicative style. He sees him as superficial, unreliable, moody and lazy. Yet, he is so bedazzled by Trump's big personality that he broke with his own standards to march alongside the president he does not admire as much as he claims. He sold his soul. What struck me next is that Mike Pence's Saturn is square Donald Trump's Neptune a pattern that resurfaces during the presidency so far.
I have done several studies on Donald Trump that go into the impact of Saturn square Neptune on his life and his presidency:
where we see him having a dreadful night on the midterm elections of November 6, 2018.
THE 2018 MIDTERM ELECTIONS
On that same day, November 6 2018,
Mike Pence is having a
Saturn return Saturn aspect, that represents a major shift in anyone's life, while
Trump is experiencing
Saturn square Neptune. From
astro.com Mike Pence's
Saturn conjunct Saturn:
« Consciously or unconsciously, you are pruning your life of everything that is not relevant to
what you really are as a human being. If this process is not happening consciously, you may
experience a sense of loss for the elements of your life that are coming to an end now.
However, do not dwell upon these losses, for they are necessary in order to clear the decks
for the major period of action in your life.
This is a time of endings and new beginnings. »
Mike Pence has also embarked on a long transit of
Neptune square Sun that began in April 2018 and will last until December 28, 2019. From
astro.com:
« This can be a period of confusion and uncertainty in which your life direction becomes unclear. Even if you have previously felt that you knew what you were doing and why, now you may encounter circumstances that force you to question your assumptions. Your will may seem to be temporarily paralyzed, and you won't have your usual energy. In fact this influence can coincide with times of low physical vitality and low psychological energy.
You may experience disappointments in your work, career or even in your home life that make you feel defeated and dispirited. Certainly you may suffer defeats during this time, but these defeats occur only when you do something that is not a true reflection of yourself. Because your total energy as a human being is not behind your actions, you don't push through with the vigor that would guarantee success: hence your failure.
... this is not a particularly good time to become involved in spiritual or mystical sects.
Any new job you start now would not be an improvement over the present one.»
This aspect will eventually catch up with Trump but in a few years as his Sun is several degrees later. They cannot loose their jobs during the midterm elections but the planets suggest they will loose power. I prefer to quote an astrological text so you will verify objectively what the planets mean as opposed to any bias I may have. What is important so we can learn from this analysis is to observe what the two men will do and say and measure it against what the planetary alignments mean. If they manage to rise above the incredible pressures of the times it could be impressive.
