Donald Trump

The astrological data about Donald Trump is taken from Astro Databank referenced here. This has a AA rating on the horoscope, which essentially a very reliable rating.

This chart shows all the characteristics of Trump. He has no control over his words to the extent of being stingy with truth. Check out the following:

1. Jupiter in 2nd house: Jupiter expands, blows up and exaggerates significations of any house. In this horoscope, Jupiter is in 2nd house (signification #1 of speech), in Mercury’s sign (signification #2 corresponding to communication). This makes speech very exaggerated. This Jupiter is very closely aspected by Rahu from 10th house. Rahu is an imposter, Jupiter exaggerates. Put the two together and you can exactly figure out why Trump behaves the way he does as in the Washington Post article above. He overestimates his own “savings and net worth”
2. Jupiter from 2nd house aspects its own sign in House 8, which is the indicator of inheritance. Trump did inherit the big real estate empire from his father.
3. Rahu in 10th house is a disruptor of normal work culture. Rahu in 10th makes a person unconventional, ambitious about high public office and lime light. It is no wonder that Trump has indeed turned over the Republican establishment in US.
4. Moon is in neecha, but far away from the worst debilitation. However, note its position in Gandanta sandhi, where it is confused. Donald lacks EQ. However, in 8th sign, Moon benefits from hidden information.

Trump just finished his Rahu Mahadasha in March 2016. Before ending, Rahu brought him here within striking distance of White House. However, unfortunately for him, his Jupiter MD has started in March 2016 and Jupiter has the blemish of being 8th house lord for this Lagna. There are obstacles ahead for him. He is running sadhe sati too where Saturn is crossing over his Moon at this time.

Given these combinations, it looks difficult for Donald to move forward from this point on and my 2c would be on Hillary to be a shoo in to White House. If Trump does win, then may God truly bless America.
