Latinist, Medieval Scholar, and Astrologer. Robert Zoller is the world’s leading proponent of Medieval Astrology. He predicted 9/11 two year ahead with many more successes under his belt came before and after this period. In 2002, he was awarded the internationally acclaimed Regulus Award for excellence in astrological research and innovation.
It was the use of Medieval Astrology that allowed Robert to predict the events of 9/11 and publish those predictions over two years beforehand. He was the only astrologer who specifically stated that the attack would be by Islamic fundamentalists on US soil, that it would be in September 2001 and he specifically named Bin Laden, but also stating that the House of Bush would be responsible for the mismanagement of this disaster.
With the whipsaw news coverage of our 45th President, there is arguably no good time to release the analysis of Donald Trump's horoscope for November 2020 without it becoming partisan. But please believe me when I say that I am not analyzing Donald Trump's horoscope with any bias pro or con. I am genuinely curious as to how his chart looks and his chances at winning re-election.
At this point in time, there has not been a Democratic nominee selected. The Iowa caucus is months away and it appears to be a tight race in 2020. So it could be argued that the ability to choose who has the strongest chance of winning the 2020 election according to astrology is still to be decided. Also, with the impeachment hearings in progress, one could say that we may not know who is even running in the 2020 presidential race.
So with all of this uncertainty, I decided to run Donald Trump's horoscope just to see what might be transiting his birth chart on Election Day 2020. Here is what I see.
Note: When I review a horoscope, it is totally objective. And I am not always correct in my conclusions. So don't take what I say as fate and certainty. Take it as just another observation that could or may not come to pass. Astrology is not fate. It is a guide to possibilities but we still have free will.
Birth Chart Analysis
I ran President Trump's chart for June 14, 1946 at 10:54am, Queens, New York. If someone has a different set of birth information, please let me know. Then I matched the transiting planets for Election Day 2020 to see how they aspected to his birth chart. The results I see show a very strong performance on Election Day, possibly accelerated by a surprising global event.
Generally speaking, Donald Trump has a very lucky and powerful birthchart. The Sun, Uranus and North Node are in his 10th house of career and long term goals with Uranus being the highest planet in his birth chart. He accomplishes his career goals (which are vitally important to him) with shock and surprise and it has proven to be very lucky (North Node) for him. All of these placements are in Gemini which is the sign of communication and airwaves.
While it may seem that friendships are more superficial and light hearted (Gemini on the 11th house of friendships), they are in fact very emotionally deep and connecting for him (Cancer intercepted in the 11th house). And this makes a positive aspect to the top of his chart - his public face and the way he approaches his long term goals. Taurus is on the cusp of the 10th house indicating a slow, steady climb to success.
Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion is in his 2nd house of money and it makes a great aspect to those previously discussed three placements in his 10th house. Finally, among the strong points of his chart, his center of power - the Vertex, makes an excellent aspect to the top of his chart as well.
The negatives are few. in the 12th house of self-undoing and hidden things, Mars the planet of action, energy and fight, squares the top of his chart. So there are actions that he undertakes as well as actions taken by hidden enemies, that can upend his career success. But this same Mars placement makes a great aspect to his natal moon (emotions) in his 4th house of family. So I would assume that family can get him out of his biggest problems in this area. And this Moon also makes a great aspect to his Jupiter in the 2nd house of money. Finally, His Mercury in the 11th house of friends makes a harsh aspect to his Neptune in the 2nd. To me that means that friends may cost him money or he can be swayed by certain friendships based on wishful thinking.
2020 Election Transits
I plotted all of the outer planet transits to this birth chart for Election Day 2020 and what I see is a strong day for Trump, should he run. Three major planets - Saturn (life lessons and challenges), Jupiter (luck and expansion) and Pluto (volcanic change and personal power) are making beneficial (trine) aspects to the top of his chart (long term plans and his public face). These planets in careful Capricorn are also empowering (conjuncting) his natal Vertex, a power point in the chart, that is also making an excellent aspect to the top of his chart.
But a word of caution - Uranus, the planet of shocks and surprises is transiting the top of his birth chart on Election Day on the 9th house of international activities. Does this mean a shocking attack? Or is it that something he is working on with other countries dramatically shifts?
I would say that the stars seem aligned for a Trump re-election. It might be interesting to review a relocation charge for the President in Washington DC on Election Day.Or, if he is in another location like Palm Beach, run a relocation chart for that place. But that is another blog post....
A wooden box full of amulets, trinkets, and gems is believed to have belonged to a Roman sorceress, according to the Archaeological Park of Pompeii.
Archeologists working in the ancient city of Pompeii, Italy, say they have unearthed a cache of amulets, good luck charms, gems, and other items of sorcery. The objects likely belonged to a Roman sorceress, officials at the Archaeological Park of Pompeii say.
The objects were found in a decaying wooden box with bronze hinges at Casa del Giardino in Region V of the archaeological park. The archeologists believe the objects were left behind as inhabitants of Pompeii tried to escape the volcanic eruption that destroyed the city in 79 AD.
The sorcery items include crystals, amber and amethyst stones, buttons made of bones, amulets, dolls, bells, phallic amulets, fists, human figurines, and a miniature human skull. A glass bead depicts the head of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and fertility. Another glass amulet features a dancing satyr.
Among the objects found, a miniature human skull.
“They are objects of everyday life in the female world and are extraordinary because they tell micro-stories, biographies of the inhabitants of the city who tried to escape the eruption,” said Massimo Osanna, the general director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, in a press release. “In the same house, we discovered a room with ten victims, including women and children, and now we are trying to establish kinship relationships, thanks to DNA analysis,” he revealed. “Perhaps the precious box belonged to one of these victims.”
“The high quality of the amber and glass pastes and the engraving of the figures confirm the importance of the domus owner,” Osanna continued. But since none of the objects in this “sorcerer’s treasure trove” was made of gold, a material favored by Pompeii’s elites, they most likely belonged to a servant or a slave rather than the owner of the house, Osanna assessed in an interview with the Italian news agency ANSA.

Many of the objects symbolize fertility and love. Others, like bird bones, were used in rituals to cast away an “evil eye” or bad luck. Pieces featuring Egyptian Scarab beetles are known to have been used by Romans to protect pregnant women and infants.
“Interesting is the iconography of objects and amulets, which invoke fortune, fertility, and protection against bad luck, and the numerous pendants in the shape of a small phallus, or the ear, the closed fist, the skull, the figure of Harpocrates, the scarabs,” Osanna said in his statement.
The objects are now being studied to understand their meaning and function, according to Osanna. The jewels and stones found in the discovery will be eventually displayed, together with other Pompeiian jewels, in an exhibition at the Palestra Grande in Pompeii.

Maria Cynkier of Atlas Obscura writes about an interesting art exhibit:
Often compared to the work of Hilma af Klint, dozens of rarely-seen drawings by the late Swiss healer and Spiritualist are on view at the Serpentine Gallery.
LONDON — Entering the Serpentine Gallery from the cacophony of Hyde Park feels otherworldly. Apart from occasional whispers, camera shutter sounds, and visitors’ footsteps moving through the constellation of rooms, there is no noise. I’m sitting in the Gallery’s central domed chamber; its concentric structure parallels the symmetrically arranged, abstract geometric drawings that hang on the walls around me. The drawings’ colorful, repetitive shapes fan out from centerpoints, like quatrefoils in Christian churches. Every single one is satisfying to look at, and the Gallery’s quiet, cathedral-like atmosphere enhances their ethereal quality.
The exhibition, Visionary Drawings, tells the story of Emma Kunz (1892–1963), a Swiss healer and spiritualist. Her works were only exhibited after her death, and she herself believed that her art was destined to be viewed by later generations. In the last few years, her drawings have been shown alongside the works of artists such as Hilma af Klint and Agnes Martin; however, Kunz’s practice does not easily fit into the history of the development of abstraction. Perhaps this is because art in itself was not her primary occupation; she considered it a means for the exploration of the astral plane.

Just over 40 drawings are displayed in the show, which constitutes a small portion of Kunz’s legacy. Although she didn’t incorporate art-making into her spiritual practice until her forties, she managed to produce hundreds of works. Each one acts as a portal between the earthly realm and the transcendent realm. Spreading out on checkered sheets of graph paper, these “energy field” drawings have an intricate but technical look to them. They were made with a technique called radiesthesia, in which the artist used a divining pendulum to plot the compositions. At times, Kunz would work on them continuously for almost 24 hours, and she considered them to have the potential to give different readings at different times.
More than anything else, Kunz was a naturopath and advocate of a holistic worldview. Her lifelong search for the divine in the natural world sometimes contradicted the laws of science, but also reflected her extraordinary sensitivity. Her drawings reflect her beliefs about the universe, as in “Work no.12,” which is often called “Philosophy of Life.” This diagram is based on two intersecting axes, forming a crucifix; at the center is a human, acted upon by cosmic forces. The vertical axis represents a path to enlightenment, while the horizontal one symbolically positions man between evil on the left and good on the right. While the particularities of Kunz’s symbolism might not be apparent at first glance, the drawings seem to emanate a healing power. Their meditative capacity lies in their dynamic presentation, showing both micro and macro perspectives on the world.
Around the outbreak of the Second World War, Kunz made a drawing, “No. 20”: dozens of red rays fanned in a circle, intersected by two sets of thick black lines. While creating the work, Kunz asked her pendulum about the future of world affairs and outcomes of political negotiations. According to her contemporaries, she predicted that the US would develop a weapon with the potential to destroy the world — a prediction often thought to be related to the atomic bombs detonated in Japan in 1945.
Only when I’m halfway through the exhibition do I realize that Kunz’s drawings are not the only artworks on display. Intersecting the space like commas are six benches made by the Greek artist Christodoulos Panayiotou (b.1978, Limassol, Cyprus). In Panayiotou’s practice, materials are usually loaded with cultural, historical or political meaning. The benches he created for Visionary Drawings are made of AION A, a mineral that Emma Kunz discovered in a Roman quarry in Würenlos, Switzerland, which was later named the Emma Kunz Zentrum and Grotto. Kunz believed this stone possessed magnetic, therapeutic powers that could boost health and relieve all sorts of pains, and she named it AION A after the Greek word for “without limitation.” AION A is still sold in Swiss pharmacies, in the Serpentine Gallery, and is promoted by curator Hans-Ulrich Obrist. Panayiotou’s benches are in a silent dialogue with Kunz’s drawings; like these drawings, they have a practical purpose. Instead of distracting from the works, they serve as viewing devices.

Emma Kunz: Visionary Drawings transforms the Serpentine Gallery into a refuge from the fast-paced London life. By tracing Kunz’s colorful, precise lines across checked paper, one might feel transported to a divine realm. Leaving the gallery, I felt that, through her art, Emma Kunz managed to share with me a small portion of her special gift of sensing networks of mutual influences and non-empirical forces. Walking back into Hyde Park, I begin to understand how the artist considered her connection to her environment to be a form of spirituality.
