Astrology of Donald Trump’s Massive Presidential Windfall

On 30 June 2026, US President Donald Trump filed his Annual Financial Disclosure form with the Office of Government Ethics, in one of the few presidential norms with which he complies.  The statement covers the first year of his second term, and shows a staggering $2.2 billion income for 2025, a testament to Trump’s ability to milk his Commander-in-Chief cash cow for all it’s worth, and then some.

Of that total, which includes real estate, publishing royalites, licensing deals, lawsuit settlements and gifts, the lion’s share comes from the Trump family’s cryptocurrency businesses, with $1.4 billion reaped from such ventures as the $TRUMP meme coin, released in January 2025, mere weeks before his second inauguration.  The initial offering cost on the coin, a blockchain boondoggle for most investors, was $75, and now, 18 months later, has dropped to $1.70, a 98% loss in value.  Trump and a small cadre of early investors raked in $4 billion from the scheme, while nearly one million little guys took it on the chin to the tune of $3.81 billion in losses.

None of that matters to Trump, whose $500 million in token sales and holding stakes in the family’s World Liberty Financial company, which markets the coin, was eclipsed by $635 million netted in transfer fees, payable whenever the coin is bought or sold, whatever its value.  Add in $86.5 million in settlements from bogus civil suits lodged by the president against CBS, Meta, YouTube and X, and another nearly $500 million in personal gifts (including the value of comped sports tickets), and we reach the inconceivable grand total.  In contrast, his predecessor Joe Biden, head of the “Biden Crime Family,” as Trump would have it, scored just $13,600 in gifts for the entirety of his four-year term.

No one can say that Trump hasn’t lived up to the potential for corruption displayed in the chart for his second inauguration, on 20 January 2025.  The 0 Aquarius Sun closely conjoined Pluto at 1 Aquarius suggests a focus (Sun) on issues involving power, vast sums of money, scandal and corruption, all Pluto-ruled.  Corruption (Pluto) is the beating heart (Sun) of Trump’s second term, which ironically, is committed in plain sight, for all to see (Sun), in what administration spokespeople term “the most transparent in history.”  Can’t argue with that!

A semisquare to Saturn at 16 Pisces identifies the presidency as the vehicle for this unwonted largesse, reiterated by a square to asteroid Whitehouse 4036 at 2 Scorpio, doubling down on the Oval Office venue.  Asteroid Donn 4689 at 17 Pisces conjoined Saturn shows Trump personally as the fons et origo of this presidential windfall, while a square from asteroid Nemesis 128 at 27 Libra to Sun/Pluto underscores the leitmotif of the administration as bent on vengeance and retribution, also on full display.

When the shocking extent of Trump’s benefiting from his office was revealed on June 30, the skies lent an explicit endorsement of the corruption theme, with asteroid Whitehouse at 0 Aquarius now conjoined Pluto at 4 Aquarius, combining corruption and the presidency even more emphatically than in the inaugural chart, and opposed Jupiter at 0 Leo, highlighting the magnitude (Jupiter) of the payoff.

Mercury at 26 Cancer had turned retrograde the prior day, a period of going back over old ground, aptly timed to coincide with the release of documents (Mercury) detailing (Mercury again) prior (retrograde) earnings.  Mercury aligned with Donald Trump’s natal Saturn/Venus conjunction at 23 and 25 Cancer, which in itself speaks to extracting monetary value (Venus) from the presidency (Saturn).

Transit Venus at 19 Leo added to the chorus, conjoined asteroids Washingtonia, Bilk 4425 (both at 20 Leo) and Donn at 24 Leo, for a shorthand celestial rendering of “profit (Venus) for Trump (Donn) from suspect financial dealing (Bilk) while in federal office (Washingtonia).”  Neptune at 4 Aries weighed in with an emphasis on fraud, deception and fakery, squared the Sun at 8 Cancer, itself exactly conjunct Trump’s natal Mercury, and exactly sesquiquadrate transit Venus.

The cherry atop this cosmic corruption sundae is asteroid Swindle 8690, another symbol of fiscal chicanery and fraud.  Transit Swindle at 11 Gemini is an exact match for the second administration’s natal Jupiter, portraying the massive scale (Jupiter) of the corruption (Swindle) perpetrated thus far.  The administration’s natal Swindle at 5 Capricorn is closely conjoined Trump’s natal asteroid Whitehouse at (4 Capricorn, mute testimony to his intention to make his second term pay big dividends, by any means available (Swindle).
