When you release from spirit, you are able to see the quality of when the best and worst times are for things like employment, mental health, and general life direction. I don't particularly get into politics, but for some reason tonight I was thinking about the "Valen's adjustment", in which it is said that if you have the LoF and Los within the same sign, move LoS forward 1 sign and for whatever reason, it got me interested in trying to demonstrate zodiacal releasing in an easy format for people to understand. I don't care for Donald at all, but since he is well-known it would be an easy example to track a timeline of prominent events that align to the patterns of astrology using this technique and a good demonstration of how to delineate a lot.
So here's the deal. I will be doing 3 things within this blog.
Zodiacal releasing conceptualization using Trump's birthchart as an example
Showing what is promised on the lower levels is promised on the higher level
Concluding remarks
Please be gentle. I am not a historian/scholar. I simply would like to show how this technique works the best I can. 💗
Step 1: Lot of Spirit Delineation Breakdown ✍🏽
When delineating, it is important to take in consideration that both the lot of forturne and the lot of spirit are not in the same sign. Here is what Valens says to do if this is the case:
"Whenever Daimon and Fortune are found in the same sign, we will derive forecasts of bodily constitution from that very sign, but the forecasts of activity from the sign immediately following." Valens, The Anthology, Page 149 (Trans. Riley)"
If you are experiencing looking at a chart that has both the Lot of Fortune and Spirit with in the same sign, move spirit forward 1 sign. This doesn't apply to Donald's chart, but if you come across one that this applies to, move forth with this adjustment.
So the first thing I will do is delineate his Lot of Spirit to determine what life's general direction, profession, and mental health will look like, but in order to do that I need to make something clear. For Delineation today we will be using LoS in Pisces in the 8th house. (Also, this is a one person dialogue. I would obviously be talking this out with a person to get further clarification):
Lot is in the sign of Pisces which is mutable, feminine, water sign. Change- Passive- Emotional.
Ruler of Lot of Spirit is Jupiter in the 8th house of debt, loans, and taxes.
Valens: "Jupiter indicates childbearing, engendering, desire, loves, political ties, acquaintance, friendships with great men, prosperity, salaries, great gifts, an abundance of crops, justice, offices, officeholding, ranks, authority over temples, arbitrations, trusts, inheritance, brotherhood, fellowship, beneficence, the secure possession of goods, relief from troubles, release from bonds, freedom, deposits in trust, money, stewardships..."
Jupiter is the Benefic of Sect, BUT Saturn in the 12th is overcoming by superior square to Jupiter in the 3rd, and Mars the Malefic to sect is overcoming by superior sextile (not as strong of an influence although does still play a part.)
Lot of Spirit in the Face I of Pisces- “This is a face of peace and humility, of weakness, of many journeys, of misery, of seeking wealth, and the lamenting of one's manner of living." Picatrix.
Jupiter in the face II of Libra
Agrippa: Two men furious and wrathful, and a man in a comely garment, sitting in a chair; and the signification of these is to show indignation against the evil, and quietness and security of life with plenty of good things.
"The profound ability is to figure out who you can trust and the ability to stay true to your word."- Austin Coppock
Based on the condition and descriptions from other sources, I can confidently say that when it comes to the quality of Donalds lot of spirit, we can see that there is a quality that denotes a person that is well-known for their politics, money, debt, and taboo/scandalous subjects and because the malefics are influencing in some capacity to his los, we can see that there is parts where his own self-undoing and identity could play a part in his quality of his mental health and career matters. The disconnect that I think pulls this all together is that Jupiter is not aspecting the lot to which is said to be not be as good of a circumstance.
Step 2: Determining the Quality of Each Quadruplicity.
What is quadruplicity? Quadruplicity is a division of the signs of the zodiac into three groups. Cardinal which initiates action. Fixed which stabilizes. Mutable which is the process of change. Quadruplicity is important to remember because when you are looking at the periods we are paying attention to the modality and what it means to switch into that sign which can tell us a lot about the quality of events/experiences we have during those specific dates.
Thus every mutable sign for Donald Trump is a peak period (not to be confused with good or eminence). These periods indicate a time where he has reached the climax of the story. The cardinal signs represent the follow-through periods. This can be imagined as what happens after the climax when things settle down. You must continue the work. Fixed becomes the prep period. This is the process of preparing for the next chapter.
So what does this all mean? This means for Donald that in the mutable quadruplicity starting with Spirit in Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius, there are no benefics or malefics, so these peak periods will be experienced pretty neutral. In the cardinal quadruplicity, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn we have Saturn the malefic of sect, Venus the benefic out of sect, and Jupiter the benefic of sect. This means that the follow-through period will be experienced as constructive and pretty positive. In the fixed quadruplicity, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius, we find Mars the malefic contrary to sect. This means the prep periods will generally be experienced as extremely negative.
Step 3: Seeing the Pattern
The thing that struck me the most was noticing that Donald was entering an L1 Leo prep period. If you notice the table above, this means Donald has the malefic contrary to sect (Mars) in his 19 year Leo-Sun period starting April 20th, 2025. What this means is that this will be a more difficult and most negative time for him. So now that we have our frame work, lets dig into the past to see what we can expect for this L1 Leo general period. I will be showing an outline major events (one's that stuck out to me) that happen within the fixed periods since it has the malefic contrary to sect in this quadruplicity. This way we can see the pattern of what has happened on the lower sub-periods to see what is promised on the higher level that Trump will experience once he switches to an L1 Leo period. For this purpose I will only be showing L2 sub-periods.
What you see above is an image that is looking at Trumps L1 25- year Follow-through Cancer Period. It is a cardinal sign, so when talking about the quality of this period of his L1 general period, you can assume that it is constructive and the most objectively positive period of Trumps professional life objectively speaking. However I will start looking at the first fixed sign which is L2 Leo (most negative) and then go down the list of dates that correspond only to the fixed signs (prep- laying the ground work. This is where we are likely to see the most challenges). This is where we get to see what type of events happens in order to see the pattern that exists within these specific pages of this chapter of the book. It will also showcase what we can expect when switching to a L1 Leo period on a larger scheme.
First, an L2 Leo period. This is when Trump was 56 years old. The first key event that I saw was one that involved him commenting on President Bush's choice of attacking Iraq. Specifically speaking on Jan 28th, 2003. We then move to L2 Scorpio period when Trump was 60 and see that this was around the time frame of the alleged affair with Stormy Daniels. April 27th, 2011, we move into an L2 Aquarius sub-period which is when Trump talked about Obama's certificate. Then on 11/22/2015 a protester was beaten up at Trump's rally, in which Trump states, “I had 10,000 people in the room yesterday, 10,000 people, and this guy started screaming by himself and they — I don’t know, rough up, he should have been — maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing." Finally on 3/29/2020 where him and Pence debrief about coronavirus. These are all key events that I found stuck out, but it definitely showcases some of the worst things that happened that correlate to the sub-periods that are the most negative times of Trumps career.
Another thing, It is important to note that Donald has a Loosing of bond December 28th, 2017. The sequence is disrupted, thus the sign Cancer which is ruled by the Moon is skipped and the metaphorical baton is handed over to a Saturn Ruled sign, Capricorn. Loosing of bond indicates change and how you determine the quality of the change is based on the handover and the overall disposition of the planet that has now taken over. Valens says that when the switchover occurs and moves from a luminary to a malefic it is like going from lightness to darkness.
In book 4 of Valens, chapter 5 he says," The connections made will have differing effects because of the nature of the stars: the Sun and Moon when transmitting to Saturn are indicative of setbacks and anxieties, and they bring hostility from the great and threats due to old religious matters, losses, trials, confrontations, suspicions, dubious livelihoods and ranks, run, as well as bodily disorders and dangers, shipwrecks, sudden collapses, and very many crises- all unless a benefic in conjunction or aspect weakens the onset of the crisis."
So looking back to the delineation of the lot of spirit we can look at the condition of Jupiter can determine the type of change that occurred for Donald at the loosing of bond and how stark that can be as far as career matters/mental health goes.
Concluding Remarks
I know this is a very quick debrief of the events that happen during this quadruplicity. HOWEVER, when we are taking into consideration of the pattern of scandals in correlation to the fixed signs, it is apparent that Trump has a tendency to get into deep trouble during these periods and you can expect something very bad to happen during these sub-periods. So if it is pre-summed that these periods of time tend to be the most negative, then on the bigger L1 fixed Leo period, we can assume that this will mark something negative about his career, mental health, and over-all life direction.
Using astrology techniques like Zodiacal Releasing for people that have known birth times and is famous can help us conceptualize this technique so that we can pin-point the ebbs and flows of life. By looking at these key events, I am able to make the prediction that around November 21st, 2024- April 19th 2025, he will most likely experience a time of mental health troubles, issues with his employment, and times of when the most negatives events happen for him. Trump switches into a L1 Leo period for the next 19 years and from April 20th 2025- November 10th, 2026 we can expect to see more bad news about him. Just to be clear, this is not reflecting what is happening on the lower levels like the L3 or L4. Every day can be different, but by using this technique it does give us a sense of the over-arching theme of what is fated. What is promised. This technique can be paired with annual profections, solar returns, decennials for a deeper look and context to what may happen, but for sake of simplicity and focus, I leave this little blog up for anyone interested in learning Zodiacal Releasing and my little rant that I can not post on twitter.
