Alright, folks, so the topic of Trump and what 2024 might hold astrologically has been popping up quite a bit. Curiosity got the better of me, as it often does, so I figured, why not take a peek myself? It’s always a bit of a puzzle, trying to piece together these cosmic energies, and I thought I’d share my little process, just how I went about looking into it.
My Approach to Peeking at the Stars
First Off: Getting the Basics Straight
So, the very first thing I did, as I always do, was to get the birth data sorted. You know how it is in astrology; if your starting info is off, everything else that follows will be a bit wonky. I tracked down the widely accepted details: June 14, 1946, Jamaica, New York. Got that punched into my astrology software. I usually have a preferred program, but sometimes I cross-check with another, just to be thorough.
Looking at the Big Planetary Moves: The Transits
Once I had his natal chart up on the screen, I started to look at what the planets are doing in 2024 – these are what we call transits. For a year-ahead kind of thing, I always focus on the slower-moving planets first. I’m talking about Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. These guys take their time, and their influence tends to be pretty significant and drawn out.
- Checking In with Saturn: I spent a fair bit of time seeing where Saturn is wandering in relation to his birth chart. Saturn, as you might know, often brings lessons, reality checks, responsibilities, and sometimes a feeling of limitation or hard work. I carefully noted which of his natal planets Saturn would be interacting with during 2024, and in which areas of life (the houses).
- Seeing Jupiter’s Role: Next up, I looked at Jupiter. Jupiter is generally seen as the planet of luck, expansion, and opportunity. But it can also amplify things, so it’s not always just smooth sailing. I wanted to see where Jupiter might be bringing some growth or perhaps a bit of “too much of a good thing” in his chart for the year.
- The Really Slow Ones – Uranus, Neptune, Pluto: These are the generational planets, and their transits can signify really deep, transformative periods. Uranus often brings surprises or sudden changes. Neptune can be about dreams, ideals, but also sometimes confusion or disillusionment. And Pluto, well, Pluto is all about major transformation, power, and letting go of old patterns. I paid close attention to see if any of these were making strong connections to key points in his natal chart, like his Sun, Moon, Ascendant, or any clusters of planets. Pluto’s shift into Aquarius is a big deal for everyone, so seeing its personal impact is always a key focus for me.
Didn’t Forget the Eclipses!
Eclipses are another big one I always make sure to factor in. They often act like cosmic spotlights or pivot points, sometimes bringing events that feel a bit “fated.” So, I got the dates and degrees for the 2024 eclipses and checked how they lined up with his natal chart. This is a standard part of my process when looking at the year ahead for anyone.
Trying to Make Sense of It All
Now, this is the part where it becomes less about just listing what planet is where, and more about synthesizing the information. It’s like being a detective. You rarely get just one single, clear message from the stars. More often, you have different energies at play. For example, you might have a challenging Saturn transit happening in one part of the chart, and an optimistic Jupiter transit in another. My job then is to try and understand how these different vibes might interact.
I look for patterns. Are several different transits all pointing to a similar theme or area of life? That usually tells me something important is brewing there. And, crucially, I always consider the transits in the context of his natal chart. The transiting planets activate the potential that’s already there in the birth chart. So, understanding the person’s inherent tendencies and potentials is key before even starting to interpret what the current planetary movements might bring.
My Two Cents After This Dive
So, that’s pretty much how I went about it. It took a few good sessions of just sitting with the charts, making notes, and letting things percolate. Astrology, for me, isn’t about making concrete, set-in-stone predictions. It’s more about exploring potential energies, themes, and psychological currents that might be at play. It’s a tool for gaining a different kind of perspective. Every astrologer will have their own way of looking at things and might emphasize different points, and that’s totally fine. This was just my personal run-through, my little practice session, and I thought I’d share the steps I took. Hope you found this peek into my process somewhat interesting!
