Trump And The Blood Moon
A Blood Moon
With the Sun in his 10th and Moon in his 4th house, Donald Trump mirrors himself in the people he interacts with, which now covers the population of America. The fact that the moon disappeared just three hours after his birth – he was born on a total lunar eclipse with the moon stained dark red – could reflect deep-seated anxiety about how people see him. This might explain his extraordinary Twitter outbursts, which at the time of writing is focused on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski in which the President attacked Brzezinski's looks and Scarborough's intelligence.
"I heard poorly rated @MorningJoe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago three nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no.”
Trump quite likes the imagery of blood when putting down women; he also attacked Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly when she aggressively questioned him during Thursday's presidential debate:
"She gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions," Trump said in a CNN interview. "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever…”
A total lunar eclipse is referred to as a Blood Moon, owing to the reddish tinge of the eclipsed full moon. And of course, the moon is associated with women and menstrual cycles. With the face of the moon disappearing at birth, this puts “bleeding badly from a face-lift” in quite a different shade, and probably reflects an existential anxiety which goes right to the center of Trump’s being. With Uranus dominating this eclipse, Trump totally detaches when under pressure and has in the past retired to his own lofty universe, which is the penthouse on the top of Trump Tower, his Trump jet or his Trump helicopter. It is so much more difficult to retire from the glare in the White House and from the journalists on Air Force One, and the stress must be mounting.
Trump’s father had property in the poorer areas of New York, where rent collection was a real problem. Evicting people was a skill he learned early, as his father sent him around with rent collectors to toughen him up. His path to riches was to buy distressed properties in good locations, get rid of the poor tenants and transform the properties into luxury apartments. (When rent protection laws were established, this kind of real estate development no longer worked and he turned his attention to Manhattan.)
This same dynamic is apparent in his policy to send illegal immigrants back to Mexico, and to block immigration from specific countries. This is clearly reflected by the eclipsed Moon in Sagittarius – all those illegals. But the focus is through the distorted lens of the Blood Moon. This is also why Trump could say in his Inauguration speech, referring to the suffering of people in the inner cities: “This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.” Unfortunately, the carnage is within.
