There always have been a controversy regarding the rising sign of USA.On 4th of July, 1776, George Washington had ordered everybody to assemble at 6 pm to announce the declaration of the Continental Congress. So it is safe to assume that the Declaration of Independence was made between 6 pm and 7 pm, which gives us Sagittarius Ascendant.
Aquarius Moon Sign placed in the third house shows the mental attitude of populace which is combative, innovative and enterprising. The rising Nakshatra is Moola whose ruling deity is Nairiti causing death and destruction which clearly manifests in America’s interventionist foreign policies.
Another distinguishing feature of USA’s chart is four planets in the intelligent,dual and airy sign of Gemini in the seventh house of the chart.The seventh house in the mundane chart indicates open war, enemies/adversaries and also it is the house of trade/business and partnerships.The cluster of multiple planets in Gemini including lagnesh Jupiter indicates complex trade relationships and it would not be wrong to say the US has always been in a trade wars overt or covert by causing coups/regime change or by overt wars.USA is currently undergoing the Mahadasha of Rahu till 2032 ( current antardasha of Venus). This period would bring focus on several scandals, secret and hidden matters,foreign affairs, immigration, deep transformation and sudden changes.The current transit of atichari Jupiter in Gemini (badhaka and maraka house) is creating challenges and triggering potential conflicts.The next upcoming transit of Jupiter in Cancer will bring about deep transformative changes.
US President Donald Trump’s Dashanath Jupiter is currently undergoing a difficult transit of eighth from natal Moon.He can expect some brief relief after October 18th though it will be short lived. His current Dashanath Jupiter is atichari and it is going to be quite chaotic for him till th end of Jupiter Mahadasha till 2029 which is also almost coinciding with the end of USA’s Rahu Mahadasha in May 2029.Much chaotic times for the USA till then and also beyond 2029 !!!
