The second inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, will mark the most stunning political comeback in US history. Now, Donald Trump is more powerful and popular than ever. The astrology of Inauguration Day 2025 gives insights into his second term as president of the USA.

The horoscope for Inauguration Day 2025 below has four main features that stand out:

1. Sun conjunct Pluto
2. Moon square Mercury
3. Venus conjunct Saturn
4. Mars opposite Midheaven

These aspects directly impact the USA horoscope, suggesting this presidency will have profound consequences for the nation. As expected, it also links strongly to Donald Trump’s horoscope.

Absolute Power

Sun conjunct Pluto (0°47′) gives the president (Sun) absolute power (Pluto), like a king. The proximity to the Midheaven is insignificant. It is the same every Inauguration because it always occurs at noon when the Sun is directly overhead. But the Sun conjunct Pluto has never before occurred on Inauguration Day.

Part of Fortune conjunct (0°59′) and Pluto (0°11′) highlights the significance of this aspect and is very helpful for the president. It could also mean the wise use of power and positive transformation, allowing Trump to “drain the swamp” and eliminate waste and corruption. This is a rare opportunity to transform the USA using extreme methods.

However, Sun conjunct Pluto is a challenging aspect that indicates egotism, authoritarianism, extreme polarization, power struggles, powerful enemies, obsessive and compulsive behavior, paranoia, propaganda, crises, secrets, plots, violence and corruption. The Roman Emperor Nero had Sun conjunct Pluto (0°11′), and it brought the abuse of power and destruction.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority, still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. [Lord Acton]

Never before has one person held so much power. Unlike Nero, Trump controls the flow of information through the mainstream and social media.

The Eagle

Fixed star Altair is conjunct with the Inauguration Sun (1°14′) and Pluto (0°26′). The Eagle Star symbolized the power of the Roman Empire and now rules the USA, space exploration, bombs, missiles and drones.

Altair makes the president confident, ambitious, bold, valiant, unyielding, liberal and commanding, with legal and military advancement, tremendous and sudden but ephemeral wealth. Positively, it bestows hardiness, courage and generosity. Negatively, it causes mischief, bloodshed, disgrace, misfortune and possible ruin. Lord Acton knew what he was talking about. He had Moon and Neptune conjunct Altair.

With the Sun: Public honor, notoriety, favors from superiors, many friends and some envious ones who cause trouble through writings, unexpected and peculiar events, temporary family problems and some ill-health and losses.

Altair aligns with the USA Pluto (1°04′). To reinforce just how critical the president’s power is to the future of the United States, this nation is experiencing its Pluto return. The first conjunction was on February 22, 2024, and the final one on December 30, 2024. It leaves the one-degree orb on January 31, 2025.

So the second inauguration of Donald Trump marks the end of the USA Pluto return. The transformation will be complete; democracy has been replaced by autocracy, and now we await the ramifications.

Most empires last about 248 years (one Pluto return). If they do survive their first Pluto return, they undergo dramatic transformations. The bi-wheel chart below has the USA Sibly chart on the inner wheel and the Inauguration Day on the outer wheel.

Parochialism

Moon square Mercury (0°15′) suggests the president will be opinionated and care little about what others think. Emotional biases influence thoughts, and intellectual reasoning can affect feelings about a person or subject.

Disagreements are likely because of parochial views about family, clans, or larger emotional groupings. This aspect subjects the public (Moon) to misinformation (square Mercury). It brings prejudice and media bias.

Moon conjunct fixed star Seginus (0°30′): Preferment in legal, government, and public matters by indirect means, followed by disgrace and ruin. Losses are not taken easily.

Seginus generally gives a protective nature, keen mentality, subtle mind, a wide acquaintance, the potential for writing or public speaking, shamelessness, and loss through friends and companies. Harsh aspects (square Mercury) impart a tendency towards making sudden, often fatal decisions, self-destruction, and cruelty.

Seginus aligns with the USA Saturn (0°16′) and Donald Trumps Jupiter (0°32′).

Conservative Values

Venus conjunct Saturn (1°23′) indicates conservative values, especially toward women. It could lead to the restriction of women’s rights and freedoms, financial hardship, crisis, recession or even depression. Interestingly, Donald Trump also has Venus conjunct Saturn.

Fixed star Achernar conjunct Venus (1°58′) and Saturn (0°35′): Achernar gives an industrious, philosophical and religious nature, patience, beneficence, honors, business success, and high office in public affairs or religion. It is associated with morality and faithful adherence to religious beliefs or philosophical inclinations. No wonder “The Handmaid’s Tale” is flying off the shelves.

Tyranny

Mars opposite Midheaven (1°54′) reflects the history of anger, hatred, violence, rioting and murder associated with the January 6 United States Capitol attack. This aspect could make it harder for the president to succeed due to past actions, rivalries with other world leaders and enemies closer to home. A tendency to act impulsively or out of anger will damage the reputation of the president and the country.

Mars conjunct fixed star Pollux (0°49′): Brutal, tyrannical, violent, cruel, obstinate, willful, unintentionally creates jealousy, high position but final ruin, prefers to lead, not follow. There is the risk of domestic problems, health problems not easily cured, murder or violent death by suffocation, drowning or assassination.

Pollux generally gives a subtle, crafty, spirited, brave, audacious, cruel and rash nature, eminence, renown, dignified malevolence, an aptitude for getting into quarrels, a love of sports, especially boxing, violence, psychic ability, success in war, business and politics, and is connected with poisons.

Trump has Saturn conjunct Pollux (1°20′)

Mars conjunct fixed star Procyon (1°44′): Pride, controversy, slander, scandal, insensitivity, questionable statement, a complete lack of compassion for others, cruelty, violence, disgrace and ruin.

Procyon generally gives a sound, sharp mind, activity, drive, willpower,  pride, wealth, good fortune, and sudden fame. But it can cause a hot temper, impudence, jealousy, petulance, violence, sudden and violent malevolence, and make its natives saucy, giddy, weak-natured, timid, fortunate and unfortunate, easily angered, careless, hasty and pig-headed. Procyon is also noted for sudden preferment by exertion, rise and success but a later fall from high position.

Procyon is conjunct Trump’s Venus (0°42′) and Saturn (1°13′) and conjunct the USA Mercury (1°30′).
