On June 14, President Donald Trump will celebrate his 80th birthday on the ground with a UFC cage fight, but in the celestial sky he will be a Gemini battling cosmic forces. Gemini is the astrological zodiac sign for people born on June 14, and if you believe in astrology, everything about Trump's personality can be traced to the movements of planets and constellations on the day he was born. In astrology-speak, where every star and planet is located on your birthday is your "natal chart."
Trump's Natal Chart and Personality
Kristina Martin, co-host of the podcast "It's a Sign! The Art of Alignment," noted, "He was actually born on a full moon eclipse, so that is indicating he's a person who needs a lot of mirroring or outside input. He looks to the outside to feel fulfilled. It can also make him pretty sensitive and perhaps prone to temper tantrums."
The Solar Return and Year Ahead
In astrology, every birthday is also the time of your solar return, an astrologically significant event where the sun returns to where it was on your birthday. Astrologers look at where celestial placements are currently in the sky to determine the energy of your year ahead. "Everyone's solar return is important because it gives us a blueprint of the next year of their life," said astrologer Lisa Stardust. For Trump, his birthday this year indicates a rocky year ahead for him, and by proxy, the nation.
To Learn About Trump's Year Ahead, Look to the Moon
Astrologer Celeste Brooks said, "His year ahead is defined by his weaknesses becoming more visible." What's particularly significant is that Trump is experiencing a new moon on his birthday. "New moons are new beginnings, but every new beginning comes from another beginning's end," Stardust said. This new moon is happening in a part of the sky that represents Trump's career, and the celestial forces indicate "a lot of rebellion in his career."
"This is going to be a particularly nasty birthday for him, because the new moon is activated by Black Moon Lilith," Stardust said. Black Moon Lilith is not a physical constellation; it is a divine energy and an invisible point in space where the moon is most distant from Earth. According to Mesopotamian myths, Lilith was banished from the Garden of Eden for choosing not to obey Adam. When planets and stars in your chart cross Black Moon Lilith, it can represent a need for empowerment.
During Trump's birthday, Black Moon Lilith will be located in the part of the sky represented by Sagittarius, known for being a defender of the galaxy in astrology. "When we talk about Black Moon Lilith, we talk about the part of people that doesn't want to be subservient, the rebellion, so that's what's setting off his chart on his birthday. People are really going to get on their high horse and really argue with him. This is just a year of opposition for him," Stardust said.
Trump's Vitality May Be Weaker
The sun will return to where it was when Trump was born one day before his actual birthday, and during this period, the waning phase of the moon will be in what modern astrology calls a "balsamic phase." According to Celeste Brooks, this phase of the moon is "symbolic of his literal vitality." This is "when the moon is emptying out the rest of its light before it becomes new." This moon phase can indicate a more internal time and overall physical weakness for the person who has it around their birthday.
"You can see it in him falling asleep all the time," Brooks said. "His year ahead is defined by his weaknesses becoming more visible. He's emotionally depleted, but he's in fighting mode," because the planet Jupiter will be moving in the part of the sky represented by Leo, and "Leonic tendencies are associated with going for what you want."
North Node and South Node Influences
Beyond his birthday, Trump should watch out for the "North Node" and "South Node," two mathematical coordinates where the orbiting moon intersects the path of the sun. Astrologers take note of where these lunar coordinates cross certain astrological placements throughout the year. For Trump this summer, the South Node is moving to his rising sign in Leo, which was the zodiac sign ascending on the eastern horizon at the exact moment Trump was born. "On July 26, as the South Node goes into Leo, it's a huge energetic shift," Brooks said. The South Node represents "a release point, and there is going to be a release of his vitality."
A solar eclipse on August 12 will also occur in his Leo sign, and when that happens, people get humbled. It is "going to rock his world" because eclipses "point out things that we've been ignoring for a long time. They make us change and focus on things that are important in our lives," Stardust said. "He's going to feel confusion, ambiguity. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a health issue that occurred."
Overall, Expect Trump's Gemini Nature to Ramp Up
When Trump shares different versions of answers, that is quintessential Gemini behavior. "Gemini is the sign that's not connected to the truth. Gemini sees all the different perspectives and thinks, 'Well, your truth is yours, but my truth is different,'" Martin said. On Trump's birthday, his sun and moon will both be in the part of the sky represented by Gemini, opposite of where his moon was when he was born, which was in Sagittarius. When there is so much energy around Gemini, it might turbocharge his Gemini nature even more. "It's like a new Gemini version of him is going to be born, where it's going to be more dualistic, more communicative, or just a lot of talking. His birthday is a birth moment of this energy, it's going to start growing for the next year," Martin said. This could scare or excite you, depending on how you feel about Trump.
