    Having a Gemini sun sign may explain Trump’s punchy, fiery nature. According to astrologer Julia Topaz, “Gemini men tend to be witty, curious, and intellectual. However, they can struggle with emotions—they joke about everything and take longer to form emotional connections.” [3]
    • This may be reflected in President Trump’s often-contentious personal, professional, and political relationships. [4]

President Trump’s Birth Chart Explained

  1. 1
    Gemini Sun in 10th House—Destined for a public life President Trump’s Gemini sun is in the 10th house, which rules communication and career. This indicates that no matter what path he took, he likely would have found himself in the public eye. [5]
    • People with a Gemini sun in their 10th house tend to be talkative and social. They enjoy stimulating conversations (and heated debates) and may have a bit of a showman’s flair—certainly traits we see reflected in President Trump’s personality.
  2. 2
    Uranus in conjunction with Gemini sun—Unconventional thinker In President Trump’s birth chart, the 10th house contains both his Gemini sun and the planet Uranus. This can indicate someone who is highly individualistic, dynamic, and unconventional. They may be a visionary thinker who’s especially likely to become a public figure. This can help explain President Trump’s bombastic appeal to voters. [6]
    • That said, this conjunction can also indicate a certain amount of tension , like Trump’s push-pull between wanting to implement new ideas (like the “Drain the Swamp” slogan of his first campaign) while still adhering to traditional values (“Make America Great Again.”) [7]
    • According to astrologer Kyle Thomas, “Uranus is also known as "the Great Awakener." He is the only planet that can bring shocking wins, but also sudden, unexpected downfall. ALL Uranian energy is of the unknown, so when Uranus moves through your zodiac sign (or conjuncts your Gemini Sun specifically), you may feel that you need to make radical, impulsive changes to everything in your life–or sudden shocking events may instead be thrust upon you that force you to evolve.” [8]
  3. 3
    Moon in 4th House Sagittarius—Need for variety Professional astrologer Angel Eyedealism says, “Someone with a moon in Sagittarius can’t stay in one place for long.” [9] They tend to be optimistic, putting a strong emphasis on freedom and the need to move around. That could explain why President Trump has been involved in so many different endeavors, from real estate to reality TV and eventually politics.
    • People with a Sagittarius moon are often talkative, friendly, and spontaneous. This bears true, as President Trump often seems relaxed and chatty, especially when he’s mingling with his supporters.
    • Sagittarius moons can also tend towards arrogance and a lack of tact —traits President Trump has publicly exhibited numerous times. [10]
  4. 4
    North Node in 10th House Gemini—Powerful communicator According to astrologer and intuitive healer Tracey McKee, “Your north node is the shortcut to your enlightenment. It represents what your soul wants to achieve.” [11] Having a North Node in the 10th house can give someone the tendency to turn their knowledge into plans for the future. They may also be inclined to focus strongly on their career and public image. [12]
    • Gemini ruling over Trump’s 10th house adds an element of skillful communication. [13] President Trump has long been known for his catchy phrases, like the unforgettable “You’re Fired” when he hosted the reality show “The Apprentice,” or the “Lock her up” chant in his campaign against Hillary Clinton.
    • Thomas says, “The Nodes in Astrology tie to karmic lessons we are focused on in this lifetime, and in esoteric astrology, we find that Rahu (the North Node) is the ‘head of the dragon’ which is what one seeks to devour, master, or pursue in one's lifetime. Ketu (the South Node) is the "tail of the dragon" where you release and have likely mastered lessons around these particular themes in previous lifetimes.” [14]
  5. 5
    South Node in 4th House Sagittarius—Difficulty listening Along with his moon, President Trump’s South Node is also in Sagittarius in the 4th house. McKee says, “Your South Node represents what you’re good at, but also what you fall back into because it’s easy.” [15] Sagittarius is usually associated with the pursuit of truth.
    • South Node in Sagittarius can indicate someone resists listening to other points of view. They may be certain they are right, sometimes to the point of purposefully seeking out opponents just to argue or try to shut them down. [16] President Trump often takes a contentious stance with anyone who disagrees with him, including other world leaders—this could be due to his South Node in Sagittarius. [17]
    • Thomas notes, “Any Nodes (regardless of the cusp of the zodiac sign) that cross the 10th/4th house polarity show a strong need to balance career, legacy, and a connection with the public versus home, family, domesticity, and a private life.” [18]
    • Thomas explains, “Gemini and Sagittarius are the polarity of communication, travel, education, and close/far friends or relatives, so this individual may find that these themes also are very karmic for them.” [19]
  6. 6
    Rising Sign (Ascendant) Leo—Natural leader Topaz says, “Your rising sign represents the point on the horizon at the time you were born.” [20] Leo is the sign that was rising into the first house at the exact time of President Trump’s birth. People with Leo Rising tend to be especially charismatic, usually exhibiting big Main Character energy. [21]
    • Leo Ascendants are natural leaders , which could help explain President Trump’s rise to positions of power in nearly every endeavor he’s been involved in.
    • The planet Mars is also in President Trump’s Leo Ascendant. Because it falls in the 12th house, this placement can indicate frustration, a secretive personality, and a life where you must travel frequently. [22]
    • It’s worth noting that Leo is often associated with hair. The lion’s mane is one of its defining characteristics—and you’d be hard-pressed to describe President Trump without discussing his infamous comb-over.
  7. 7
    Gemini Sun Chart Ruler—Ambition Astrologer Kyle Thomas explains that “your chart ruler is the planet that rules your first house, or your Ascendant.” [23] In this case, President Trump’s Ascendant is Leo. The ruling planet over Leo is the sun, so President Trump’s chart ruler is the sun, which is located in Gemini in his chart.
    • Having the sun as your ruling planet emphasizes the traits of your sun sign. In the case of a Gemini sun with Leo rising, like President Trump, that often means someone is especially ambitious, bold, and eager for the spotlight. [24]
  8. 8
    Neptune in 2nd House Libra—Money matters The planet Neptune usually symbolizes creativity, spirituality, and dreams. When it’s located in Libra, like it is in President Trump’s chart, it can lead to an idealistic perspective. This combination’s placement in the 2nd house indicates that it primarily applies to finances and material perspectives. This could explain President Trump’s large-scale money moves, both in his business life and political endeavors.
    • This placement may emphasize big-picture dreams more than nitty-gritty details. This might partially explain President Trump’s tendency to swing big in business matters—and why it doesn’t always work out. [25]
  9. 9
    Venus, Saturn, & Mercury in 11th House Cancer—Networking Both Cancer and the 11th house are associated with social relationships. Venus is associated with love and relationships, Saturn with discipline and responsibility, and Mercury with communication and intellect. All three of these planets are present in Cancer in the 11th house, which may indicate that President Trump is skilled at managing relationships to his advantage.
    • Thomas explains, “Each planet represents different archetypal energies, with Venus tying to pleasure, aesthetics, and relationships, while Saturn aligns with karma, perseverance, or challenges, with Mercury aligning with one's intellect and communication styles. Having multiple planets in one house in a natal chart ensures that there is a greater life focus on the themes of this house within one's life.” [26]
    • Thomas continues, “In the 11th House, Venus and Mercury can bring popularity and very sweet and intellectual contacts, whereas Saturn may cause there to be karmic lessons around friendships, hopes, and aspirations, as well as delays or the possibility that you attract older, wiser mentors who help you refine your mission.” [27]
    • Venus in 11th house Cancer: This placement can indicate an emphasis on home, family, and nostalgia—themes President Trump has emphasized in his campaigns.
    • Saturn in 11th house Cancer: Someone with this placement might put a high priority on networking and maintaining close relationships. President Trump has certainly amassed a powerful network of associates in his rise to power.
    • Mercury in 11th house Cancer: This placement often leads to heightened emotional intelligence or intuition, which may be a clue to President Trump’s ability to appeal to voters.
  10. 10
    Pluto in 12th House Leo—Intuition Pluto symbolizes transformation, death, and rebirth, and the 12th house symbolizes hidden or unconscious experiences. Someone with Pluto in their 12th house might have an innate understanding of what goes on in people’s subconscious minds. Having this placement in Leo could add an air of authority or power to the mix—and potentially the power of manipulation, in the wrong hands. [28]
    • This could perhaps be a clue to President Trump’s uncanny ability to appeal to voters’ hopes and fears on the campaign trail.
