Astrology of Donald Trump's 2025 Inauguration

Although Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election in November 2024, he isn’t due to take office as the 47^th U.S. President until January 2025. His first term as president was eventful, to say the least, and there is a great deal of speculation about what might be in store the second time around. The horoscope chart for the day of Trump’s inauguration offers the first astrological insights into the factors that could influence the course of this new administration.

Outgoing President Joe Biden’s term will officially end at noon local time on January 20, 2025. According to an official US government website, “Inauguration Day occurs every four years on January 20 (or January 21 if January 20 falls on a Sunday). The inauguration ceremony takes place at the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C.”

When Joe Biden took the oath of office, the time of the inauguration was 11:52 AM EST. It is therefore likely that Donald Trump’s oath-taking ceremony will be held at:

Thus, the transiting horoscope chart for the 2025 Presidential Inauguration appears as follows:

An Interpretation of the Inauguration Chart

A transiting horoscope chart is a snapshot of the prevailing planetary alignments, at a specific point in time. The chart for the inauguration is significant because it offers insights into the astrological influences at play during the first major event of the new administration. While these influences may not directly impact every subsequent event or decision, they do describe the underlying energy that will influence the government’s long-term trajectory. This information can be used to make predictions about the future, much like a horary reading.

These are some noteworthy characteristics of this chart:

• Aries Ascendant

The fact that Aries is the ascendant of this chart is a prominent factor. This is consistent with Donald Trump’s somewhat assertive and combative manner of governance. Aries as the ascendant in the chart, signifies a dynamic style of functioning. As the new president assumes office, he will be eager to swiftly implement bold decisions. However, while this may be his intent, successfully executing such changes may prove more challenging than anticipated, as explained further on.

• The Sun in Capricorn

The Sun is placed in Capricorn, in the house of actions. This is a very favourable alignment and brings an auspicious start to the new administration. This placement of the Sun is symbolic of a strong and successful government.

• A Saturn-Venus Conjunction in Aquarius

These planets indicate that there could be an effort to find inventive ways of changing established practices or fundamental structures. This may not be as malicious as it sounds, as the economy may be the focus of these actions.

• A Moon-Ketu Conjunction in Virgo

This conjunction prevails in the 6^th house, or house of enemies and rivals. The Moon and the malefic Vedic planet, ‘Ketu’ are in conflict here and show that Trump will face challenges from adversaries, at both a personal and political level.

• The Numbers 2 and 3

Donald John Trump’s date of birth is, June 14, 1946, the sum total of which is, '4'. The basic numerology of the inauguration date relates to the numbers 2 and 3, which have a low affinity with 4. The positive aspects of this chart may have a diminished influence for Trump, due to this factor.

Predictions for Donald Trump’s Second Term

Some possible major events that this chart suggests are:

Reformist Policies

With Mars as the ruling planet of the first house, the initial focus of Donald Trump’s new government will be to break with convention, shake up traditional practices and bring about reforms. However as Mars is in-retrograde, debilitated and weak in strength at only 00:25°, he may lack the political wherewithal to succeed, at least initially.

Controlled Chaos

Some political commentators have already expressed an apprehension that Trump 2.0 will be characterised by provocative and erratic policies. To suggest that astrology predicts the same could risk being seen as a self-fulfilling prophecy. There is however, no escaping from the fact that the inauguration transit chart does indeed reflect this. The devil is in the detail though, and the chart also shows that this time around, Trump’s approach may be more tempered and attuned to public opinion.

Mars and the Sun occupy the central, 4^th and 10^th houses of this chart. Mars is the ruling planet of the 1^st house and the Sun is in the house of actions, and thus both strongly influence the plans and actions of the new administration. Both these planets have aggressive and domineering characteristics and at first glance, this suggests that Trump will enter office, all political guns blazing. However a closer examination of their alignment reveals that initially at least, this may not entirely be the case.

At the time of the inauguration, Mars in particular, is weak while the Sun is relatively subdued in Capricorn. Hence, the change of political climate may be more measured and restrained than anticipated. In the following weeks, Mars will gain in strength, and policies may then adopt the more expected cavalier tone.

Determined Efforts

The new POTUS will be determined to see through a variety of innovative economic policies. Many policies and decisions will be formulated with a long term perspective. His efforts are likely to yield rewards, but this will require time. Also, the political gains may be less than he is hoping for.

Slow Going

The ruling planet of the ascendant, Mars and the lord of fate, Jupiter are both in-retrograde. In addition to this, a combusted Mercury occupies the enemy sign of Sagittarius, in the house of fate and Saturn is the lord of actions. All these factors point to slow progress in on-going plans. While there will be a concerted and sincere effort to put new plans into action, the Trump Administration will find the rewards of their efforts are slow to materialise. Also, the success of major policies is likely to be less than they anticipate.

Women Troubles

Donald Trump has had his share of troubles with women, both in the form of political rivals like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris and by way of personal strife involving Stormy Daniels. Well, the Moon-Ketu conjunction in the 6^th house of this chart suggests that things are not about to change any time soon. Future problems could be in the form of new personal allegations or a resurfacing of old issues. It also seems that female political rivals will make their presence known. Either way, worries and uncertainty on account of the fairer gender, seem to be a feature of Donald Trump’s next shot at presidency. It may also be business as usual when it comes to political backstabbing and wheeling and dealing. It is likely that many who pose as political allies will, in fact, turn out to be adversaries with hidden agendas.

On the Offensive

Mars’s influence suggests that hasty and impulsive decisions could weaken Trump politically.

Trump will be on the offensive against rivals. He will be his normal combative self and is not about to back down in the face of challenges to his authority. He may however, find that he lacks the political clout to inflict serious damage to his main opponents.

Donald J. Trump’s Birth Chart

We have deliberately chosen to not use Donald Trump’s birth chart for these predictions. The reason for this is, although his publicly available time of birth is 10:54 AM, we suspect this may not be accurate. This was the time relied upon by many astrologers, including those of some repute, for pre-election predictions. The election result however, showed these predictions to be spectacularly off the mark, casting some doubt on the accuracy of this time.

The PowerFortunes astrologers' predictions for Kamala Harris, published in July ’24, had explained that the exact birth data for Harris was available and hence, it was possible to make predictions about her future, and chances of success in the ’24 elections. This article also explained that similarly accurate data for Trump was, to the best of our knowledge, not available. In the event, our prediction in this article that Harris would lose and Trump would win, turned out to be absolutely correct.

There is however, a limit to the amount of detail that can be gleaned from this inauguration horoscope chart. If we want to definitively analyse the policies and course of the Trump 2.0 administration, a reliable birth chart is required. The situation vis-à-vis Trump’s birth data, or more specifically his exact time of birth still persists. Hence, accurate predictions on the basis of his birth chart, will remain elusive.

Other Astrological Factors

The compound number of Trump’s date of birth is 4 and this corresponds to the malefic Vedic planet ‘Rahu’, also the ‘North Lunar Node’. The zodiac sign that corresponds to the name ‘Donald’, is Pisces and this sign is ruled by Jupiter.

In this January 20 horoscope chart, ‘Rahu’ occupies Pisces and Jupiter is neutral but retrograde. This implies that:

1. Trump is driven by ambition, but will also benefit from being at the centre of public attention.
2. Tasks that are initially beset with difficulties may usually end favourably.
3. In crunch situations, he is likely to generally prevail over detractors.
4. His foreign policy may be one of his successes.
5. Wasteful expenses may increase internal debt.
6. He may be unable to take advantage of his knowledge and experience, which may affect the wisdom of many of his decisions.
7. He may not be able to shake the perception of being foolish.

This chart also shows that the new Trump Administration will have generally ambitious plans. The nature of this chart and the numerological incompatibilities mentioned earlier may suggest a dichotomy though. While he will continue to be an inspiration to his followers, he will also face stiff opposition domestically. Globally, other world leaders are likely to take him seriously and his word will carry currency. Due to the Sun’s influence in the 10^th house of this chart, America’s stature is likely to gradually grow under the new administration.

Astrological Remedies for Donald Trump

Given the astrological and numerological factors at play on inauguration day, there are a few remedies that could help Donald Trump in his second term as president.

• The Crystal Shri Yantra

This amulet will increase the positive influence of the Sun, Venus and Jupiter. All three planets are favourably placed on this day. This talisman will activate these positive influences and bring success to all endeavours.

• The Surya Yantra

Strong governments and leaders need a strong Sun. This talisman is the corresponding talisman for the Sun and will further increase this planet's favourable influence.

Final Thoughts

Predictions on this matter have been made by other astrologers. While these seem credible and insightful, we have noticed that the charts cast are not according to the exact time of the inauguration. A lack of attention to this important detail is likely to affect the accuracy of the interpretations and predictions made on the basis of such charts.

At PowerFortunes, we will continue to monitor this subject and provide analyses of charts relating to future events of importance.
