The last Celestial Wheel entry was November 27 Catching Up.  It described transit Rahu's influences upon the U.S. and Trump's charts.  Also discussed then was the current Mercury November 16 to December 7 retrograde.

The email notice for that forecast, however, was Catching Up & Natural Consequences, with the latter topic not included in the narrative.  Today's entry Natural Consequences covers that omission.

This is important because of the karma storms resulting from Mars' six months in Capricorn -- May 3 to November 6.  Beyond the midterm election results, there are natural consequences to that karma which have impacted during that interval and since November 6.  Consider, for example, just the natural disasters during this past late spring, summer and early fall -- hurricanes, floods, heat waves, forest fires... Areas hit by these have been traumatized, and recovery efforts incomplete.

Consider also the August 21 Past The Half Way Mark entry which featured three sign charts of U.S. public figures in which only the birth date was known -- plus the sign and house chart for Saudi Arabia with its birth date and time known.   Naturally, this last chart is more specific.

These three charts for major public figures were previously put into my chart library just because and then pulled up for the August 21 entry.  I remembered they had planets in Capricorn -- where Mars was transiting.  (Obviously there was some insight operating here, though its source is a mystery.)  As for Saudi Arabia, I've been following that nation chart, and fretting about it, since 2007 when Culmination In The Mideast was published. The August 21 suggestion was these charts of three people and one nation would be adversely affected during this damaging Mars transit.  At the time, however, none had yet come under Mars' fire.  By November 6, however, all four charts had been harmed, and the national consequences of those harms continues to reverberate -- just like the natural disasters and midterm election results.

Elon Musk has been embroiled with scandals and his companies' fates thereby uncertain.

Rick Scott squeaked by to become a U.S. Senator, which was surprising, by just 10,000 votes out of 8 million cast.  The natural consequences of this are negative for Florida and the country.

Jeff Bezos has also taken some hits with Amazon, notably two new fulfillment centers.  It's also under fire again for postage rates.

Everyone knows Saudi Arabia has been experiencing huge problems, which continue and worsen.  The journalist murder and Yemen war are just two issues of many.

Are these three men's lives pivot points ahead?  That can't yet be known, but certainly their massive influences upon the U.S. and overseas brings risk.  As for Saudi Arabia, that country's problems are already destabilizing and could become tragic.

As for this guy, its now more clear than every he's facing mounting challenges for misdeeds and does not play well with others, All the presidents at the Bush funeral service together recited this core prayer. Except one.

Inexorable -- unyielding, unalterable.  Not to be persuaded, moved, or affected by prayers or entreaties.

The December 6 Natural Consequences focused upon ...the karma storms resulting from Mars' six months in Capricorn -- May 3 to December 6.   (Remember, karma simply means results of actions -- the sum of a person's (or country's) actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences.  Natural consequences, then, is another definition of the results of karmic actions.

These U.S. natural disasters were caused by transit Mars in that chart's second house of domestic harmony with dissolving Ketu aspecting the eighth house of turmoil, where birth chart Rahu and Mercury are placed.  Thus, second house public disgust resulted in the Republicans losing the House of Representatives.  And eighth house turmoil, brought natural disasters.

Other charts with planets in Capricorn, which are hit hard by this Mars, were used as examples -- Elon Musk, Rick Scott, Jeff Bezos and, most importantly, the nation chart of Saudi Arabia.

Trump was also impacted by this destructive transit Mars.  And those harms have naturally reverberated beyond November 6.  The December 6 entry closed with, As for this guy, its now more clear than ever he's facing mounting challenges for misdeeds.

The November 27 Catching Up explained that transit Rahu approaching the U.S. chart Mercury has caused the country to remain topsy-turvy.  But On December 5 transit Rahu will conjoin birthchart Mercury at 3:26 degrees, and the dissonant energies will then begin falling off.  Rahu will, however, continue to afflict Mercury until it (Rahu) leaves Cancer March 22.  That has indeed happened.  The country is no longer being rocked by tremendous natural disasters.

That entry continued by discussing Trump,

These predictions are already coming true.  Trump is under increasing and debilitating heavy fire from the natural consequences of transit Mars in Capricorn this past summer and fall plus transit Rahu on his birth chart Venus and transit Saturn.

Here's Trumps chart with transit Rahu, now at 3:06 Cancer shown,

With transit Rahu now so close to birth chart Venus, that planet's significations for career and close associates are being hammered. Note that Venus is females, which includes Ivanka, now too under fire, and the two women he paid off to silence them just before the election in 2016.  (Even Melania is losing popularity.)  Although there are buckets and buckets of news items on Trump, that 60% of Americans don't believe him stands out.

There's another planetary karma adding to Rahu's harms -- transit Saturn.  As you can see in the bottom left of his chart, transit Saturn is in his fifth house of the mind and children.  Further, this Saturn aspects (glances) across his chart to his mental Mercury at 15:45 degrees.  Thereby, Saturn, the great malefic, the planet of restriction and denial, is attacking two mental attributes -- fifth house mind and Mercury.  Further, with birth chart Mercury in the eleventh house of goals, friends and groups, all these are afflicted.

Karma is not only cumulative over time, it is also cumulative at the present time.  So, transit Rahu is beating on Trump's career, close associates, females, social nature and job at the same time that transit Saturn is beating on his mind, children, goals, friends and groups.

It's impossible to predict what will result from these harms to Trump's chart.  However, we do know they will increase until March 22, when Rahu finally leaves Cancer.

The (above) December 17 Inexorable discussed how Trump was harmed by Mars' six month transit through Capricorn (ending November 6) and now two more tough karmas.  First transit Rahu on Trump's Venus and Saturn in the twelfth house of loss is crippling him.  Second, transit Saturn in his fifth house of the mind and children is harming both.

The results of these destructive karmas upon Trump stimulates him to strike out -- his usual ploy when he feels attacked.  So, we have the stock market reeling, his pulling out of Syria, Defense Secretary Mathis resigning and, of course, the government shutdown because Congress won't fund his wall.

Like any cornered animal, which instinctively roars and strikes out, Trump, relying now more than ever on his gut (instinct) is lashing out at any and all perceived attackers.  Thus, it's a nerve wracking time in America -- actually the entire world. 

While transit Saturn is slowing his mind, making him stupid, there's more to this Saturn than has been explained.  First, there are Trump's Dasas -- the planetary cycles that form the underlying karma in a chart.  Second, this transit Saturn in his fifth house is the last of Sadi Sati -- the 7 1/2 year period during which transit Saturn crosses the houses around the Moon and transforms the life.

Here are some quotes about Saturnian energy, which will help you understand its great and powerful nature,

First, as for Trump's Dasas, here are his current cycles to three levels. Keep in mind that Trump is running is sixteen year Jupiter (expansion) Dasa -- mid November 2016 through 2032 -- and that the minor cycles influence this major cycle Jupiter.  Expansive Jupiter makes him loquacious and convincing, but an aspect (glance) from a especially nasty Saturn makes him dishonest and self serving.

You can see that Trump ran Jupiter/Jupiter/Rahu this fall.  Rahu powers him up, but this head-of-the-dragon eclipse point, being a malefic, has a dark side.  Rahu can bring great worldly gains during its Dasa (and transit), but it always spews fire at the end.  Rahu has obviously doing his fire-breathing act now, and his transit through Trump's twelfth house of loss,identifies the location and type of harm.   Coming up February 3, Trump's Dasas change to Jupiter/Saturn/Saturn starting this coming January 3, which long cycle doesn't end until March 15, 20121.

Saturn is tough for Trump for being in his twelfth house of loss.  Thus, he will suffer these next 2 plus years.

But this analysis focuses upon transit Saturn, where it is in today's skies -- his Sadi Sati.  You may recall the February 3 2017 The Hollow Man, which explained he was born on a lunar eclipse and that his two previous Sadi Satis resulted in his being thrown out of his home -- first at age 12 when his father put him in military school and the second in the late 1980s when the process began of throwing Trump ouf of his Atlantic City casinos.  It was expected he would be thrown out of the White House in the fall of 2017 due to this current Sadi Sati, but so far Trump has escaped that.  It could be, of course, that his fortunate Jupiter Dasa is the savior here, but since Saturn is the one planet which cannot be denied, even Jupiter cannot save Trump from Saturn during Sadi Sati throwing him out a third time.

To illustrate the issue, here's Trump's chart showing this current Saturn transit from the December 17 Inexorable,

Transit Saturn is shown with a blue arrow into the fifth house of the mind and children.  As explained above, Sadi Sati is Saturn's 7 1/2 year transit (journey) through the houses surrounding the Moon.  Thus, this Sadi Sati began when Saturn entered Libra at the end of 2011.  Saturn left Libra late 2014 to transit through Scorpio, his fourth house, where his fallen Moon is positioned.  Next, Saturn left Scorpio to enter Sagittarius, his fifth house, January 2017.  It will remain in Sagittarius until January 2020 -- another year. This 7 1/2 year Sadi Sati thereby runs from late 2011 through early 2020.

Given that Trump runs Saturn in his Dasas starting this coming January for over two years, and the current Sadi Sati continues for another year plus, these overlap during 2019.  When Dasas and transits coincide, accurate predictions can be made.  Thus, we can predict Trump will lose the presidency during 2019.

While all this is interesting, even provocative, and hopefully readers have been able to follow the Vedic logic, this isn't the reason today's entry is titled nerve wracking.  That elicits from Trump's increasingly impulsive, even bizarre, words and actions that have brought widespread acknowledgement, even from Republicans now, that he's crazy.   Yes, Sadi Sati does weaken the lunar perceptional mind -- but that's temporary, and it doesn't make the person irrational.

So, what's going on here that Trump has become insane, thereby creating a nerve wracking response from the U.S. and abroad?

Here's the answer.  Trump's chart is Leo rising -- meaning Leo is his first house of the self.  And his Moon is in the fourth house. These results in the last part of his Sadi Sati (the house just beyond the Moon) being his fifth house of the mind.  Saturn there, as explained above, ...transit Saturn is slowing his mind, making him stupid.  Thereby, he can't think clearly to understand issues, deal with others and con his way out of his current challenges.  To make matters worse for Trump, his expansive Jupiter Dasa, with Jupiter in the second house of speech, makes him sooooooooo convincing also makes him overconfident and optimistic about his abilities. (Recall the July 9, 2018 Slick Willie entry that described Jupiter in the second house, which both Clintons and Trump have.)

Saturn's making Trump's fifth house mind stupid naturally opposes the optimistic and slick Jupiter influence. The result in incredible conflict in his own mind.  Remembering that Saturn is the one planet which cannot be denied, there is nothing Trump can do to weasel out of his problems, much less find real solutions.  Trump is stuck between a Jupitarian rock and a Saturnian hard place.  It's made him crazy.  This must obviously hasten Trump being thrown out of the White House in 2019.

Thus we can expect his losing the presidency earlier in the year rather than later.  In fact, it could very well be that transit Rahu breathing fire on his twelfth house Venus and Saturn until March 22 will bring him so much loss will also precipitate his downfall.

This matches up with the U.S. chart suffering losses now with wealthy Jupiter transiting the twelfth house of loss. This disposition influences for economic losses.  We can already see the stock markets plunging in anticipation of that result.
