Donald Trump: Birth Chart

Author: Alison Price   –   Published: August 2024

Donald Trump’s Birth Chart

This is part of our US Election 2024 series and you can see more on the US Birth Chart.

Interpreting Donald Trump’s birth chart reveals key aspects of his personality, strengths and challenges.

Born on June 14, 1946, at 10:54 AM in Queens, New York, his chart reflects a complex, dynamic individual with significant planetary influences.

Sun in Gemini

Donald Trump’s Sun in Gemini suggests a highly communicative, adaptable and intellectually curious personality.

Gemini is known for versatility and Trump’s ability to navigate different situations, communicate effectively and quickly adapt to changing circumstances aligns with this sign.

However, this placement can also contribute to restlessness and a tendency to be easily bored, seeking constant stimulation.

Sun in 10th House

The Sun in the 10th house of a birth chart is a powerful placement, especially when it comes to career, public life, and politics.

The 10th house is associated with one’s reputation, status, and achievements in the world. It represents authority, leadership, and the legacy one leaves behind.

When the Sun, the planet of self-expression, vitality, and identity, is placed here, it shines a spotlight on these areas, often making politics or leadership roles a significant part of his life.

Drive for Recognition and Success

Trump with the Sun in the 10th house is highly ambitious and driven to achieve recognition and success in his professional life.

He seeks to make a mark on the world and is motivated by the desire to be seen as  a leader or authority in his chosen fields.

In politics, this placement can indicate a strong desire to climb the ranks, gain influence and leave a lasting impact.

Natural Leadership Abilities

The Sun in the 10th house often bestows natural leadership qualities.

He will tend to be confident, authoritative and capable of taking charge in public and professional settings.

He is often seen as a figure of authority and may be drawn to careers in politics, governance, or any field where he can lead and make decisions that affect the wider community.

Public Image and Reputation

With the Sun in this house, Trump’s public image and reputation are of great importance.

He is very aware of how he is perceived by others and often works hard to cultivate a positive and powerful public persona.

In politics, maintaining a strong and favorable image is crucial and Trumo may be particularly adept at managing their public relations.

Sense of Responsibility and Duty

The 10th house is also associated with responsibility and duty, particularly in terms of one’s role in society.

Those with the Sun here often feel a strong sense of responsibility to contribute to the world in a meaningful way.

In politics, this can manifest as a commitment to public service and a desire to enact policies that reflect his values and vision.

Ambition and Legacy

He is often motivated by a desire to create a lasting legacy.

He wants his achievements to be remembered and respected long after he is gone.

In the context of politics, this might drive him to pursue ambitious projects, reforms, or leadership roles that allow him to leave a significant mark on society.

Pressure and Scrutiny

Being in the public eye, especially in politics, means facing constant scrutiny and pressure.

With the Sun in the 10th house, he may experience challenges related to living up to high expectations, both self-imposed and from others.

He must navigate the demands of public life while staying true to his core values.

Work-Life Balance

The intense focus on career and public achievements can sometimes lead to an imbalance between professional and personal life.

It’s important for him to find time for self-care and relationships outside of his public roles.

Ego and Power Struggles

With the Sun in the 10th house, there can be a tendency towards pride or an inflated sense of self-importance, especially in positions of power.

In politics, this could lead to conflicts or power struggles if the he is not mindful of the impact of his ego on his decisions and relationships.

 

Ascendant in Leo

His Ascendant in Leo indicates a strong, charismatic presence.

Leo rising individuals often project confidence, creativity and a natural leadership aura.

They seek recognition and tend to be drawn to the spotlight.

Trump’s public persona, characterized by boldness and a desire to be seen as a leader, is strongly influenced by this placement.

Moon in Sagittarius

The Moon represents emotions and inner needs. Trump’s Moon in Sagittarius suggests a deep need for freedom, adventure and expansion.

He is likely driven by a desire to explore new horizons and to be seen as someone who is larger than life.

This placement also points to a strong belief system and a need to express his personal truths.

However, the Moon in Sagittarius can sometimes lead to bluntness or a tendency to overextend oneself.

Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius

A lunar eclipse in Sagittarius in a birth chart is a powerful and transformative astrological event.

It occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow over the Moon and creating a moment of heightened emotional intensity and insight.

This eclipse might trigger a desire to break free from restrictions and pursue greater freedom in your life.

The Bigger Picture

He might feel a stronger pull towards understanding the bigger picture of his life and how he fits into the world.

He could feel a need for more honesty and openness in his relationships, or he could attract people who share his desire for growth and exploration.

Mercury in Cancer

Mercury in Cancer indicates a communication style that is influenced by emotions and intuition.

Trump’s thoughts and speech may be deeply connected to his personal feelings and experiences.

He might have a strong memory and a way of communicating that appeals to the emotions of others.

However, this placement can also lead to a subjective or defensive communication style.

Venus in Cancer

With Venus in Cancer, Trump values security, comfort and emotional connection in relationships.

He may have a protective and nurturing side, particularly towards his family and those he holds dear.

Venus in Cancer also indicates a preference for traditional values and a strong attachment to the past.

However, this placement can also bring moodiness or a tendency to cling to familiar comforts.

Mars in Leo

Mars in Leo suggests a dynamic, confident approach to action and ambition.

Trump is likely to be assertive, determined and eager to take on leadership roles.

Mars in Leo individuals are often driven by a desire for recognition and may have a strong competitive streak.

This placement can bring enthusiasm and creativity, but also a tendency towards pride or stubbornness.

Jupiter in Libra

Jupiter in Libra indicates a natural inclination towards diplomacy, fairness and relationships. Trump may find opportunities for growth through partnerships and collaborations.

However, this placement can also suggest a tendency to overindulge in social situations or to rely too heavily on others for validation.

Trump may have a strong sense of duty towards his family and a need to establish a secure foundation.

This placement can bring challenges related to emotional vulnerability or a tendency to be overly cautious in personal matters.

These generational planets suggest that Trump is influenced by broader societal trends and transformations.

Uranus in Gemini indicates a revolutionary approach to communication and information.

Neptune in Libra suggests a generation concerned with idealistic views on relationships and social harmony.

Pluto in Leo represents a powerful drive for personal expression and transformation within the context of leadership and authority.

Example Chart: Super Jupey

Example Chart: Super Jupey

Author: Alison Price   –   Published: June 2024

Example Chart : Super Jupey

This is an example chart reading for our listener Super Jupey. I think the name comes from the prominence of Jupiter in this chart.

 

 

The Natal Chart

 

Balances

Strong Polarity

In astrology the broadest stroke is polarity. The passive polarity is strong with five planets in it.

Interpretation

This suggests that she will absorb things around her. These cna be both positive abd negative impressions and she will lean heavily on her understanding or what is really going on.

There can be a part where she accepts what other dish out but in time she will reject what does not serve her.

This woman will seem easy going and even a pushover at first, but in time you will discover her other side. When you do encounter her core you will have entered into the inner circle of her life.

 

 

 

Strong Element

Water is the strongest element with four planets that is two more than the next best element.

Interpretation

This strength will come thorough in her intuition and emotional side.

Everything will have to feel right for her to be comfortable with people or situations.

It is essential that she pays attention to atmospheres and used her natural intuition to keep herself safe. She can “read a room” better than most.

There will have to be an emotional connection to people in her life. this is not a wishy washy theme, but rather. a core part of who she is.

 

 

 

Strong Mode

Fixed is the strong mode with two more than the next best mode.

Interpretation

This indicste she can be quite ridgid in her approach. There will have to be a really good reasosn for her to change the way she does things nd how she thinks. But one she’s seen the light she will be fully on board with the new plan.

 

super-jupey-natal-chart

Dispositor Tree

Mars is Final Dispositor

This chart is a “Mars Final Dispositor Tree.”

Mars is at the top and all the planets are connected together on one tree.

This makes Mars supremely important nds it is also the chart ruler.

example-chart-dispositor-tree

Dispositor Tree: Gateway Planet

Jupiter

Jupiter is a gateway planet (red dotted circle) because it is a middle planet and has planets above and three below.

This gives Jupiter a lot of say about the energy of the planets below it which are the Sun, Venus and Neptune.

Their energies are likly to be melded into a main theme through Jupiter.

Chart Rulers

The two chart rulers, Mars and Pluto, (circled in yellow) show their position in the tree.

It is clear that the powerful energy of Mars will dominate in the chart over the other chart ruler of Scorpio which is Pluto.

 

Dispositor Tree: Links as Aspects

Sun trine Jupiter

The only link that is also an aspect in this dispositor tree is between the Sun and Jupiter.

In the natal chart the Sun trines Jupiter.

They are linked in the tree with Jupiter on a higher line. This brings focus to this particular aspect (the trine) and the two planets Jupiter and the Sun.

No doubt the energies of these two planets have much to say about this person’s chart.

Interpesting that she called herself “Super Jupey” as clearly Jupiter is strong both in the natal chart and in the dispositor tree.

Solar Return Chart

The solar return chart is focussed on the Sun. Therefore the Sun’s placement and aspects are of great interest.

 

Solar Return Sun’s House

In the solar return chart the Sun is in the 2nd house.

 

Solar Return Sun’s Aspects

Stellium

There is a stellium with Mercury, the Sun and Saturn.

The Sun is conjoined Mercury and the Sun is conjoined Saturn.

 

Soft Aspects

The solar return Sun is sextile Jupiter.

super-jupey-solar-return-chart

Secondary Progressed Chart

The secondary progressed chart is laid outside the natal chart.

 

Secondary Progressed Sun

The Secondary progressed Sun will enter the 7th house in November 2024. This is huge.

It not only leaves the 7th house to enter the 7th, but is also opposes the Ascendant and conjoins the Descendant.

 

Interpretation

This suggests that close personal realtionships, or even marriage, will be on the cards in the 12 months that follow the actual ingress in November.

Additionally, business partnerships will be spotlighted at this time.

Any progressed Sun movement is usually a positive thing. It allows you to live authentically in the nature of your natal Sun but now with a different focus.

 

 

super-jupey-natal-secondary-progressed-bi-wheel

Solar Arc Directions

The solar arc directions bi-wheel (with the natal chart on the inner wheel) is shown below.

 

Highlights

The solar arc directed Sun (the same as the progressed Sun) is entering the 7th house in November 2024.

 

Solar Arc Planets

The solar arc Jupiter is leaving its home of Sagittarius and entering Capricorn in October 2024.

Background

In early 2024 I had the idea to offer online chart interpretations. These would be for listeners of our podcast.

The online astrology reading is not a face-to-face consultation, but it is an interpretaion that is discussed on the podcast or perhaps on Youtube. I considered inviting Arwynne to join in the conversation on some of them and she was excited to chim in on this, the first online astrology reading. I am happy that Arwynne joined me for the interpretation on the podcast.

Also please note that there was so much interest in the Online Astrology Readings that there is an 8 month waitlist because we need to catch up with all the readings already requested.

 

 

Chart Details

Birth City

When starting any chart reading you need the birth details. Taurpio’s was born at 6:28 pm, on the 28th April 1983, in Wellington, New Zealand.

Because I will look at the transits, I asked where she was living now and it turns out that she now resides in Perth, Australia.

The Ascendant is conjoined the Moon in fall in Scorpio and in the sensitive Ascendant Gauquelin sector.

The Ascendant is opposite Mercury and Chiron both in Taurus in the 6th house.

Dispositor Tree

Dispositor trees are another way to visualize the chart. This chart has two dispositor trees. The first is a Planet in Sign Tree, the Jupiter one, and the second is the Mutual Reception Tree with Mercury and Venus.

See the Dispositor Tree diagram further down.

 

Planet is Sign: Dispositor Tree

Jupiter is in its own sign of Sagittarius and so is well placed on the top line. Below Jupiter is Uranus and Neptune in Sagittarius. Jupiter disposes both Uranus and Neptune.

 

Mutual Reception Dispositor Tree

The two planets in mutual reception are Mercury and Venus. Mercury is in Venus’ sign of Taurus and Venus is in Mercury’s sign of Gemini. This means that Mercury and Venus are in mutual reception and have equal status in the dispositor tree. They go on the top line.

Below Venus is Chiron, Mars and the Sun in Taurus and Pluto in Libra. Venus disposes Chiron, Mars and the Sun. Below Mars is the Moon and Saturn in Scorpio. Mars disposes the Moon and Saturn. There are no planets below Mercury because there are no other planets other than Venus in either of Mercury’s signs Gemini and Virgo.

Links and Aspects

I always note any links (the arrows) that are also aspects in the chart. In this chart Jupiter is linked to Uranus and there is a conjunction between the two. The Moon and Mars are linked in the tree and they are in opposition to each other as well. The aspected links are maked in red.

Chart Rulers

I always highlight the chart rulers in a dispositor tree and in this chart the two chart rulers are Mars and Scorpio which are highlighted in yellow.

Main Comments from Taurpio

These are the main comments and question that Taurpio wanted us to focus on. Arwynne and I can’t cover everything in a 30 minute podcast, so we did what we could.

  

Reading Special Focus?

“How to make the best of the delightful pluto square pluto transit I’m going through. Somewhat challenging.”

Your Favourite Starzology Astrology Podcast Episodes?

“I love them all. I find yourself and Arwynne super engaging. I really enjoy the planets through the signs, also when you talk about generational transits i.e Chiron return. Also enjoyed the Oriental planet, mine’s Neptune.”

Additionally…

“I feel like I have a lot of polarity in my chart, very fixed energy of ♉️ and ♏️. Also interested to hear about the axis of the 6th and 12th houses.”

Forecasting: Transits recent Past

Pluto square Pluto

This transformative aspects which was in place for the past two years has finally cleared. Taurpio specifically asked about this aspect and we discuss in more in the podcast episode.

 

Forecasting: Transits Upcoming

Pluto square Saturn

Pluto is squaring Saturn now and will do so another two times during the course of 2024. This is marked in orange on the Dispositor Tree.

 

Taurpio-natal-transit-bi-wheel

Graphic Ephemeris

Graphic Ephemeris Defaults

I always set my Graphic Ephemeris defaults as follows:

  

  • 45 degrees.
  • Eighth harmonic aspects.
  • Two years.
  • Start six months ago.
  • Go ahead for 18 months.
taurpio-graphic-ephemeris

Graphic Ephemeris: What to Add

Once I have the Graphic Ephemeris printed out, I begin to add extra forecasting details. These other forecasting techniques are great at underlying what has already been brought forward in the transits.

Graphic Ephemeris: Eclipses

I look for lunar and solar eclipses for the next 12 months. I add any eclipses that conjoin the natal chart planets or points.

Graphic Ephemeris: Secondary Progressions

For the secondary progressions, I add any secondary progressed planet that changes of sign or house in teh next year. Additionally I add any secondary progressed planet of angle that conjoins a natal planet or points.

Graphic Ephemeris: Solar Arc Directions

I add the Solar arc directed planet changes of sign or house. I also add any Solar arc directed planets that conjoin a natal plants or point. See more on this later.

Solar Return Chart

The solar return chart can standalone and be interpreted by itself. This is another direct forecasting technique that I use after transits and eclipses. I always cast the solar return chart for the place they are at on their birthday.

With a solar retrun chart I look for:

 

  • The Solar Return Sun’s house.
  • The Solar Return Sun’s aspects.
  • Solar return ascendant in the natal chart.

You can continue on and interpret the whole chart but remember that is is the Sun that is the basis of this chart and therefore the Sun in the solar return chart is the most important.

If you want to loo for love and money then cast a Venus return chart and interpret that.

Taurpio-solar-return-chart

Secondary Progressions

With secondary progressions I cast the secondary progressed chart but mainly look at the bi-wheel and not the standalone secondary progressed chart.

When using bi-wheels I alwasy put the natal chart in the center as that is what everything else is based on. The person is the topic and the secondary progressed planets will affect the natal chart from the outside in to the natal cahrt or the core of the person.

The bi-wheel has the natal chart in the center and the secondary progressed chart on the outside.

 

What to Look for in Secondary Progressions

The three main secondary progressions that I am looking for are:

 

  • Secondary progressed Moon phase and when is the next phase change.
  • Secondary progressed planets or points changing natal sign.
  • Secondary progressed planets or points changing natal house.
  • Secondary progressed planets or points conjoining natal planets.

 

Personally, I don’t often consider other secondary progressed aspects unless I’m into the deeper third, fourth or fifth sessions with my client.

Taurpio-bi-wheel-natal-and-secondary-progression

Solar Arc Directions

With solar arc directions I cast the solar arc directed chart but only look at the bi-wheel and not the standalone solar arc directed chart.

When using bi-wheels I always put the natal chart in the center as that is what everything else is based on. The person is the topic and the solar arc directed planets will affect the natal chart from the outside in to the natal chart or the core of the person.

The bi-wheel shown below has the natal chart in the center and the solar arc directed chart on the outside.

 

What to Look for in Solar Arc Directions

The three main secondary progressions that I am looking for are:

 

  • Directed planets or points changing natal sign.
  • Directed planets or points changing natal house.
  • Directed planets or points conjoining natal planets.

 

Personally, I don’t often look at other solar arc directed aspects, like squares and oppositions, unless I’m into the deeper third, fourth or fifth sessions with my client.

Conclusion

Chart Overview

In this post I have highlighted the important factors in this chart. I would urge you to develop your chart reading skills by working through the post from top to bottom and concentrate on the chart details that I have brought forward for consideration. Yes, there is much more to discuss about this chart, but those bits can be left for another day.

I want to inspire you, an Aspiring Astrologer, to get better at chart reading by focussing in on what really matters in a chart and leaving the lighter signifiers for another day.

I think it is better to teach someone how to fish and not give them a fish. So to relate that to chart interpretation, “It is better to teach you how to interpret a chart than to do it for you.” This is why I have not provided thorough interpretations in this question because you need to do it for yourself.

 

Chart Interpretation Done For You

However, if you requested a full chart consultation from me, then I would give you all the information surrounding the placements in the chart and the full forecast prediction.

 

Thanks

Hi Alison,
  
A big thank you to you and Arwynne for the online interpretation of my chart. I listened while taking my dog out for a walk. Pretty spot on really, particularly the part about my parents, I have a Taurus mother and a Scorpio father.
  
Anyway so generous of you to offer these readings. Look forward to booking an online consultation with you in future.
  
The information on the blog is so helpful also. 
  
I thoroughly enjoy all of your podcast episodes and learn something new every episode. Have shared with my friends and family also.
  
Have a great day.
  
Best regards,
  
Taurpio

In the first podcast episode, Alison and Arwynne go through a new chart interpretation step by step and extract the most important planets and signifiers. This is the way professional astrologers begin their chart readings.

The Duality of Pisces

In the second podcast episode Arwynne welcomes Bo. This is a wide-ranging discussion on the most complex and hard-to-define sign of all. Pisces might also might be the most misunderstood and maligned sign in the zodiac. This episode is an illuminating deep dive for anyone struggling to pin down what the deepest of the water signs is all about. We explore the complexities, contradictions, dreams, intuitions, addictions, ambitions and sacrifices that make this sign so unique, and why we would all benefit from understanding the oceanic energies of Pisces a little better.

   

 

Chart Details

Bo’s natal chart details as given are as follows:

  • 9:32 am, January 22nd, 1988, Ness City, Kansas, USA.

This birth data is rated “AA” on the Rodden Rating as the time (9:32 am) is recorded on his actual birth certificate in hand.

 

Chart Calculation Defaults

We are using standard Western astrological defaults including:

  • The Tropical zodiac.
  • The Placidus house system.
  • The True Node.

This chart is calculated with Astro Gold.

 

Standard Orbs

Our standard natal orbs for both applying and separating aspects are:

  • 8° for conjunctions, oppositions, trines and squares.
  • 4° for sextiles.
  • 2° for semi-sextiles, semi-squares, sesquiquadrates and quincunxes.
  • 1° for quintiles, biquintiles, parallels and contra-parallels.

 

Begin Gathering the Information

This is how to approach a chart interpretation using the method I’ve been using for years. The aim is to get all the relevant information onto one page to start with.

 

Bos-birth-chart

Step 1: Balances

The balances refer to the polarity, elements, modes, hemispheres, quadrants, triple divisions, signs and houses. Only count the seven visible planets.

Polarity

In this chart the active polarity has five and the passive polarity has two planets. This makes the active polarity strong. People who are strong in the Active polarity are positive and eject energy into the world by their thoughts and actions.

 

Element

Now let’s consider the elements. In this chart there are three planets in Fire, Earth has no planets, Air has two planets and Water has two planets. This makes Fire slightly stronger than the other elements. Technically, for an element to be strong it must have two more planets than the next best element, which fire doesn’t. It only has one more planet than the next best elements which are Air and Water. Strong fire people are inspirational and will inspire others as well.

Explore more >>> The Elements and Herbs

 

Mode

Turning to the modes. In this chart. Cardinal has one planet fixed has two planets and Mutable has four planets. This makes the Mutable mode strong with four planets. For a mode to be strong it technically must have two more planets than the next best mode. In this case the next best mode is Fire with two planets therefore Mutable is strong. People who are strong Mutable types are amenable to change.

 

Hemispheres

Of the four hemispheres, the Northern hemisphere has three planets, the Southern hemisphere has four planets, the Eastern hemisphere has six planets, and the Western hemisphere has one planet. This makes the Eastern hemisphere strong with six planets. People with a strong Eastern hemisphere. Have a great focus on their lives and what they are doing.

Hemisphere Ruler

The Eastern hemisphere ruler is Jupiter (as Sagittarius is on the MC). Jupiter is in its own hemisphere (Eastern) so this make Jupiter a focus planet for us to note.

Quadrants

Considering the quadrants. The first quadrant has three planets. The second quadrant has zero planets. The third quadrant has one planet. And the 4th quadrant has three planets. Because the 1st and the 4th quadrants have equal amount of planet. There is no strength in quadrants here.

 

Triple Division

Moving on to the triple divisions. The first triple division has three planets. The second triple division contains zero planets, and the third triple division has four planets. This makes the third triple division slightly stronger. However, technically, for a division to be strong it needs to have two more planets than the next best triple division, which the third division doesn’t. That’s why the third division just getting the “slightly stronger” label. The third Triple division is the “Them” division, where the focus is on what’s going on in the world.

Sign Emphasis

The sign with the most planets is Sagittarius. Therefore, the sign of The Archer, Sagittarius, is emphasised.

 

House Emphasis

There is no house with more than two planets thus no house emphasis.

Step 2: Ascendant Complex

Ascendant Sign

The Ascendant sign is Pisces. This makes the chart ruler the greatest planet of all, Jupiter.

First House Planets

The planets in the first house are Venus in Pisces and the Moon in Pisces. We also note that the north node is in the first house in Pisces as well.

Aspects to the Ascendant

Looking at aspects to the Ascendant, and we have Venus conjoined the ascendant and Mars is square the ascendant.

Step 3: Chart Ruler Complex

Chart Ruling Planet

The chart ruler is Jupiter because Pisces is on the Ascendant and Jupiter rules Pisces.

Ruler’s Sign

Jupiter is in Aries. Note that Jupiter is in mutual reception with Mars in Sagittarius.

Ruler’s House

Jupiter is in the second house.

Ruler’s Aspects

Jupiter is conjoined the Part of Fortune and Eris. It receives sextiles from Mercury and Chiron, and trines from Saturn and Uranus. Note that Jupiter only has soft aspects and therefore is unafflicted. Very nice.

Step 4: Luminaries

The Sun

Sun’s Sign

The Sun is in Aquarius which is in detriment as it is in the sign opposite its rulership sign of Leo, so it gets a score of -5 in Essential Dignity.

Sun’s House

The Sun is in the 12th house.

Sun’s Aspects

The Sun is unaspected as it does not receive a Ptolemaic aspect from another planet. However, the Sun does receive a lesser-used aspect, the bi-quintile, from Chiron. Additionally, the Sun is trine the South Node. Even though the Sun receives two aspects, it is technically considered “Unaspected” because the Sun does not receive a Ptolemaic aspect from another planet.

Luminaries: The Moon

Moon’s Sign

The Moon is in Pisces.

Moon’s House

The Moon is in the first house. Well placed in an angular house.

Moon’s Aspects

The Moon is conjoined the North Node and trine Pluto. The Moon is quintile Neptune. The Moon’s hard aspects are squares from Saturn and Chiron. The Moon is the focal planet in the T-square. The Moon receives an opposition from the South Node. The Moon is opposition and contra-parallel the Vertex. This makes the opposition to the Vertex a double whammy opposition and is therefore a more significant aspect.

Lunar Phase

The lunar phase is Crescent.
