Fellow Astrologers,
As you may know, when transiting Saturn dips below the Ascendant, it is entering the "obscure period" (as Grant Lewi called it), when a person starts to go inward and retreats from the world. This retreat continues until Saturn reaches the IC and "bottoms out" (as I call it) when people often are EXTREMELY withdrawn. Then, gradually the person comes OUT of this "shell" and back into the world, which arrival becomes complete when Saturn finally crosses the Descendant.
I mention this to contrast this with Trump's Saturn experience. When Saturn "bottomed out" in Trump's chart and was still in orb of the IC, Trump announced his candidacy for President (June 2015). While for most people would be a time of gradually coming back INTO the world as Saturn slowly rose int he chart, Trump was President and very much IN the world. Saturn now is on Trump's Descendant and will cross the Descendant in early March 2023, before the next Presidential election.
It will be interesting to watch what happens when Trump's Saturn, which had been below the chart and somewhat obscured, comes up and "into the light" at that time.
Watching,
Tim
P.S. Since any talking about Trump often arouses strong discussion, just a reminder that ANY posting on the main astrology forum requires ASTROLOGY to be in the posts. If you simply want to talk about politics, please do so in the Chat Forum.
