On Kent State 1970 and Donald Trump

Perhaps it was only a matter of time before the horrid Kent State Massacre and Nixon’s criminal abuse of power came up in conversations across America concerning Mr. Trump’s perceived and apparent misbehavior and his ham-fisted presidency. Some of his behavior, at least, seems premeditated yet with a heavy sauce of chicanery ladled on and lying on a bed of steamy racketeering.

  • Venus in Libra sextile Saturn in Sagittarius: 24 deg
  • Venus in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces: 24 deg
  • Sun in Scorpio trine Neptune Rx in Pisces: 11 deg

Venus is the dominant energy today. Her sextile with Saturn suggests quiet developments in money, relationship and self-esteem matters. Nothing flashy, just a reminder to calmly approach Venus issues. Be disciplined (Saturn) about balancing (Libra) your wants. Be an adult (Saturn) about this. 

Venus/Chiron may present a painful reminder. Developments could trigger an insecurity – you feel unloved, unattractive, etc. This is where Saturn comes in. When you experience that brief moment of social embarrassment, or you feel “unacceptable” Saturn’s steady hand will urge you to look at the bigger picture (Sagittarius). There’s more going on than your awkward moment.

Sun/Neptune encourages you to immerse yourself in something deeper. Yes, your Venus issue is important, but there’s also a reservoir of compassion, creativity or peace. And you can only access it if you take one step back from the surface stuff (how you look/how they look/how well you’re liked). If you find yourself dwelling excessively on a relationship/self-esteem problem, release your concerns about appearance and open yourself up to what lies beneath (the deeper truth, even if it’s ugly). Accept what you have and release the yearning for what you don’t have.

Any combination of Neptune and the Sun transcends the ego. Add in Scorpio, and you have the potential to empower yourself by letting go of grasping, controlling, compulsive behaviour. Stop trying to influence others, and see what happens.
