Astrologers are offering ominous forecasts for U.S. president Donald Trump, predicting health issues and potential “rebellion”
“A time when sometimes people die” - Astrologer Celeste Brooks’ ominous reading for Donald Trump
Astrologers are predicting troubles ahead for U.S. president Donald Trump, fresh on the back of an ominous forecast by Peruvian shamans.
Speaking earlier this month to HuffPost’s Monica Torres, the astrologer Celeste Brooks identified the upcoming solar eclipse, which is due to occur on Feb. 17, as a significant point in Trump’s year ahead.
Brooks arrived at this conclusion by reading Trump’s astrological birth chart. Compiled using the time, date and location of a person’s birth, a birth chart represents the “map and story” of that individual’s life, says the astrologer Sophie Won, per Vogue.
It’s important to stress that astrology - defined by Merriam Webster as “the divination of the supposed influences of the stars and planets on human affairs and terrestrial events by their positions and aspects” - offers no scientific backing behind the conclusions it reaches.
How does a birth chart work?
A birth chart draws on the position of the Sun and the Moon at the moment a person is born - and also takes into account what’s known as their rising sign or ascendant. This is the zodiac sign considered to have been on the eastern horizon at the time of that person’s birth.
Born in Queens, New York City at 10:54 a.m. on June 14, 1946, Trump’s rising sign is Leo.
“A time when sometimes people die”
As Torres explains, February’s solar eclipse “happens when Leo, his rising zodiac sign, which rules his heart, is located opposite, or 180 degrees, from where it usually is and will be in Aquarius, which rules his circulation system.”
This combination of factors leads Brooks to claim that, on Trump’s chart, the upcoming eclipse represents “a time when sometimes people die”. She added: “You could go to the doctor on that exact day and find out you have some kind of health condition.”
Another astrologer, Lisa Stardust, told Torres that there is “an instance for rebellion in [Trump’s] chart”. “So I think that he might have some issues with a lot of his colleagues and people that he’s close with,” Stardust said.
“The United States should prepare itself”
These grim predictions came just under three weeks on from a similarly gloomy forecast by a group of shamans in Peru. In a ceremony in the capital Lima on Dec. 29, the shamans predicted that Trump, who turns 80 in June, will be hit by a major illness in 2026.
“The United States should prepare itself because Donald Trump will fall seriously ill,” the shaman Juan de Díos García said, according to the Reuters news agency.
The shamans also forecast the fall of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro - a prediction that was borne out just three days later.
In an extraordinary nighttime raid early on Jan. 3, Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were seized by U.S. forces and transported to New York, where they now face drugs and weapons charges.
Maduro’s vice-president, Delcy Rodriguez, has since been sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president, but Trump told reporters on Jan. 4 that the U.S. is “in charge” in the South American country.
