Deconstructing Donald Trump

Any astrologer worth his salt is intimately familiar with the iconic Grant Lewi’s brilliant 144 Sun-Moon combination descriptions in his book “Heaven Knows What.” With this in mind, I’m going to present Lewi’s description of Donald Trump’s Sun/Moon combination, Gemini/Sagittarius. Then I’ll add a few comments of my own about the Donald.

“You are a romantic: you believe in the far away and long ago. Things at a distance make an appeal to you with the result that you are always on the move. Either you are actually traveling or you are getting the satisfaction of mobility in stories and yarns, real and imagined, of out-of-way places such as you read of in romances. This is O.K. so long as your yarn-spinning stays in the realm of the imagination purely, but when you apply that imagination of yours to your friends and start to tell tales about them – look out! You love to hold the center of the stage and to appear to know the inside dope on any and all subjects -- with the result that what you say is frequently unreliable. Not that you mean to tell untruths, but your imagination is so vivid that you really believe what you say and can make others believe it. You must cultivate mental accuracy, for the analytic and and scientifically critical bent is not native to you, and your gullible as well as as inventive where stories are concerned. A tendency to tell all you know and to invent what you don’t know is likely to get you into trouble. There isn’t an ounce of malice in your nature, but you set your whole neighborhood by the ears with carelessly dropped hint of scandal. You are restless, however, and tire of people, and this position frequently leads to more than one marriage. You need mental training, and should forego the reading of novels and romances for some definite, set line of study, which will do much to overcome restlessness,. You are popular, lively and gay in company, very expressive, and a pretty good listener. Your facility in speech and movement makes you a good actor while your peculiar brand of tact makes it possible for you to succeed in a business or political career. You are a hard person to pin down and can get around a good many situations that would stump others. But you aren’t invulnerable and are likely to meet yout match some day, unless you train yourself strictly in logical mental processes, when your quickness, shrewdness, and insight into people will carry you far.”

Irrespective of Donald Trump’s Sun/Moon combo, I will say this about him: He’s an off-the assembly-line, Matrix-bound establishment thinker, with no real understanding of, or appreciation for, true liberty – meaning inviolable individual rights and laissez-faire capitalism. Instead of praising Rand Paul for his TRUE Republican principles – such as ending the Fed, repealing the entire IRS tax code, and doing away with the Welfare/Warfare state, he stupidly criticizes his person without considering his sociopolitical positions.

Who is Donald Trump? If you’ve read, or read, Ayn Rand’s “Fountainhead,” you’ll know who Donald Trump is – Gail Wynand. Wynand, unlike the hero of the book, Howard Roark, is a shameless panderer, whose ethics extend no further than “making deals” and “socializing with” the “right people,” so as to ensure his own success. When given the choice between ethical, or Objectivist, principles and his own financial advancement, he opts for the latter.
