On July 13, 2024 at around 6:11 pm, former President Donald Trump suffered an attempted assassination. His right ear was grazed by a bullet and if he hadn’t turned his head at the last second, it would have been a direct hit. The Mars-Uranus-Algol conjunction, although not exact until today, July 15, 2024, was in effect and had indications that some major event might potentially happen either in the days leading up to or on this day. Today we are going to look at this conjunction for both Trump and Biden.
First up, Donald Trump. Let’s look at his chart for July 15, 2024 for equal comparison purposes. Any significant differences between July 13 and July 15 will be pointed out.
I’ve circled a few areas. The blue circle is the transiting Mars-Uranus-Algol conjunction sitting at 26 degrees of Taurus in Trump’s 10th house in an exact square to his natal Mars, circled in red, in his 1st house. The other area circled in purple is Jupiter in a conjunction with the fixed star Aldebaran. Not as many astrologers are talking about this piece of the pie.
As discussed yesterday, wherever the Mars-Uranus-Algol conjunction is landing in someone’s chart has the potential to bring unexpected and transformational events. As with all astrology, there is the potential for a lower vibrational energy to manifest or a higher vibrational energy, and sometimes it doesn’t really show up very much for a person if it doesn’t interact with their natal chart in a very direct manner. That’s why when you read horoscopes, like the one I posted yesterday for all 12 signs in regards to this astrology, it may not hit for everyone. General readings can look to where things *might* show up for a collective group of people, but if you don’t have any planets or points interacting with it in your natal chart, you may not really feel it at all.
Back to Trump. For the lower vibrational energies, Mars & Uranus combination can suggest accidents or injuries. Mars also rules over the head. This combined with the fixed star Algol which represents Medusa, whose head was decapitated, we can see how this combination manifested quite literally for Trump. Now, as of the 15th, these are all sitting at 26 degrees of Taurus in an exact square to Trump’s natal Mars in his first house. A Mars square Mars can bring out the negative aspects of mars such as aggression, impulsiveness, and only thinking about ones own interests. It can play out that you are acting out that way towards others, or that other people are acting out that way against you. Mars square Uranus can also indicate a bunch of impulsiveness, rebelliousness. It can indicate where you may “explode” and create change in your life if you have been unaware or unwilling to admit that change needs to happen. However, the “explosions” can also sometimes happen to you. Then you add in the energy of Algol as well. This astrology clearly played out as these energies being directed at Trump. If we look at July 13th, Mars was not yet at 26 degrees. Instead, it was at 24 degrees, exactly conjunct Trump’s Mid-heaven which represents your career and public image. In Robert Hand’s Planets in Transit it indicates that this is a day that is probably best to work alone because you can “provoke opposition from people who try to cut you down.”
Before I get to Jupiter, I just noticed another thing that I didn’t circle. The transiting Sun is exactly conjunct Trump’s natal Saturn in his 12th house and within a 2 degree conjunction to his natal Venus in his 12th house. Sun conjunct Saturn indicates that your attention will be focused on your duties and responsibilities, and that “what you accomplish today may have more lasting significance than could be attained under any other energy. Professional advancement may come under this transit.” The Sun conjunct Venus indicates that people will be attracted to you and others are bound to respond to your energy. This is usually a very favorable transit and indicates that ones “physical health and vitality should be above average today.” The fact that these are in the 12th house is interesting because the 12th house indicates areas that are hidden away. So this professional advancement and physical health and vitality may have deeper impacts that known to Trump or the rest of the world. The last fascinating thing about the transiting Sun is that it is in a square to the transiting Chiron in Trump’s 9th house of belief systems. A square is a challenging aspect and this indicates that Trump’s overall belief systems – about the world and about his spirituality – is likely being challenged, but since the Sun is in the 12th house of hidden things, this is something that will be known only to him.
The next thing to cover is what is circled in purple, and I forgot to include this in my All 12 Signs horoscope yesterday. It is Jupiter within a 1 degree conjunction of fixed star Aldebaran in Trump’s 11th house. Aldebaran is considered to be one of four Royal Stars and is often associated with the protection of Archangel Michael, representing courage, strength and integrity. It is also considered the Watcher of the East and symbolizes protection and guidance. It is also connected to military honors signifying bravery and leadership in battle. If negatively aspected, which it is not in Trump’s chart, it can indicate danger from enemies, accidents and legal issues. Anything that Jupiter is conjunct with enhances the qualities as it is the planet of abundance and luck. Considering there are no negative aspects to this fixed star in Trump’s chart, Jupiter will only enhance the protective qualities of this fixed star. It is in his 11th house of friendships, groups, hopes & dreams, and the results of the work you put into your career. His longevity in his career seemed to be protected with this planetary combination. In addition, Jupiter and Aldebaran are in a sextile to transiting North Node in Trump’s 9th house of belief systems, connection to your higher self, and also higher education and foreign places. This sextile could potentially indicate a couple things. First, that he was Divinely protected and that something guided him to turn his head just perfectly at the last second. Second, is that he may garner support (11th house of groups and friendships) from foreign places (9th house). The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, King Charles, the Prime Minister of Britain, and other world leaders have reached out to Trump or otherwise expressed their solidarity with him.
The only other thing worth mentioning is that transiting Venus, which is the ruler of the Mars-Uranus-Algol conjunction is transiting Trump’s first house. As Venus is a benefic planet and the 1st house represents our physical body, this can bring some protection to his health. In addition, this can bring him more support and attention as well.
Those are the major things that I see with Trump’s chart between July 13th and today, July 15th. I know that there are probably things I am missing, but it is fascinating to see how all this plays out in real life. Astrology is real for sure. It will also be interesting to see how the Republican National Convention plays out today.
I will be back later today or tomorrow to look at how this astrology is impacting Joe Biden’s chart as well.
