As a karmic astrologer the Nodal axis of a person’s chart is fascinating – that is the pattern of the North and South Nodes. The South Node tells me about their karmic past – what traits do they bring with them in this lifetime that are memories of past behaviors. While there is nothing wrong with our past incarnations, of course, our goal in this life should be to grow beyond them, learn new lessons and move forward. Why reincarnate if you are going to do the same things repeatedly?
Donald Trump’s South Node, Sagittarius in the fourth house, indicates that was someone fiercely involved with his family and community who held himself out as the keeper of knowledge and arbiter or what was “right.” Sagittarians love to know what is true – they love to be right. With his Moon so close to the Node and Jupiter, its ruler, in his house of self-worth, we can see how easy it is to goad him. He is emotionally incapable of not saying he knows all there is to know and he is always right. This has been a pattern for many lifetimes. This is why he says I am going to do this – and going to do that. In his mind, he knows all that is right for his community. He believes in his soul that only he can make “America great again.”
With his North Node in the tenth house, in Gemini he should be moving away from this idea that he has all of the answers and he is the lord of knowledge. Gemini is the seeker of knowledge – the sign addicted to learning all things new. Gemini demands that we open up to new ways of thinking. While the fourth house is my roots, my family – the tenth house wants us to involve ourselves in the larger world. Gemini in ten demands that we live in a world that is an open tent where new ideas are encouraged.
While the tenth house is also the house of society and government, Trump seems to be trying to impose his Sagittarian belief that he knows all into the larger picture instead of opening up to learning. He is making a slight foray into the tenth house but refuses to leave behind his old, Sagittarian patterns.
Does this spell success or defeat in November? The universe does reward baby step we take into our North Node, that is true. This may be dreaming on my part but I just can’t see his myopic, nationalist, hateful speech being that big a step forward for that big a reward.
P.S. I am so glad the Hillary “listened” to my chart advice last week to keep her cool no matter what and that Trump went full into his Jupiter verbosity!
