(2,065 posts)In the original post that I commented on above, the so-called astrologer dwelt quite a bit on Uranus and Trump's fascination with Twitter as his hi tech fad or shtick. It's true that Uranus is associated with high tech in astrology, but on a deeper level, it shows much more. The guy in the original posting failed to mention the highly significant and distinctive fact that Donald Trump's Uranus is tightly conjunct his Sun - and so, figures into that Sun / Moon opposition conjuncting his axis of the Lunar Nodes, his axis of karma. The entry of Uranus into this configuration exerts a general destabilizing effect, and when Uranus is aspecting the Sun, as it is with Donald Trump's Sun / Uranus conjunction, it is generally associated with two things - a tendency towards mood instability, with manic episodes prominent, as well as a chaotic, disordered approach to life and expression of one's will, with tendencies towards attention deficit issues and a lack of discipline. The Sun is also the ruler of Trump's Leo Ascendant, and being destabilized by Uranus, it leaves Donald Trump also open to flights of fancy and grandiosity as well. It also shows that Donald Trump has a unique, even eccentric, approach to life, and plays by his own rules. Uranus figuring prominently in the natal chart is also associated with those who had a very loose and permissive upbringing, where anything goes - and so, he could skate by through life, playing by his own rules, relying on his Gemini (Sun and Uranus in Gemini) sophistry and slick talking. The destabiilizing influence of Uranus on his Sun, which is one's sense of self, also destabilizes Trump's sense of self, making it too dependent on chance or externals. And it destabilizes the whole Sun / Moon opposition conjunct Lunar Nodes configuration I spoke of earlier, which I feel is the most worrying thing about his chart.
One of the most fascinating things about astrology is that every element, every symbol in the astrology chart has both external or macrocosmic manifestations as well as internal or microcosmic manifestations. And so it is with Trump's Uranus, for example: externally, his Twitter addiction as his high tech thing, and internally, his intsability of mood and sense of self, as well as his disordered approach to life. And this is all standard textbook modern astrological interpretation, folks.
