Donald Trump

On April 2, President Trump’s bold “reciprocal tariffs” announcement—dubbed “Liberation Day”—rocked global trade and markets. Just days later, hs April 9 pause on some tariffs sparked a stock market rally. But where does this leave the U.S. economy and the looming trade war? Let’s dive into the stars with the U.S. Full Moon Chart (April 12) and Solar Ingress Chart (April 13) to uncover what’s next for Trump, trade, and America.

April 2025 Full Moon Chart: Trouble Ahead for America?

The Full Moon horoscope for the United States on April 12, 2025, casts a tense and foreboding light over the nation. Most planetary activity is concentrated along the difficult 6th–12th house axis—traditionally associated with illness, hidden enemies, conflict, and hospitals.

Jupiter–Venus Exchange: A Warning for Health and Stability

A powerful planetary exchange between Jupiter and Venus draws immediate attention. Jupiter, the ruler of the 6th house—which governs the workforce, public health, armed forces, doctors, labor unions, and national conflicts—now sits in the 8th house. This house is traditionally linked to crises, chronic illness, upheaval, and the deaths of prominent individuals.

Venus, ruling both the 1st house (the general condition of the nation, the people, and public health) and the 8th house, is retrograde and positioned in the troubled 6th house. The mutual exchange between these two planets heightens themes of instability and hidden tension.

Though Venus is strong by sign, its retrograde status weakens its ability to offer protection. It is tightly conjunct with Rahu and Mercury—the latter being the ruler of the 12th house, which governs secrets, isolation, foreign affairs, and hospitals. This alignment suggests mounting pressure on the nation’s vitality and inner resilience.

Health-related concerns may come to the forefront, especially involving national leadership or figures like President Trump. Meanwhile, government instability, institutional strain, or secretive political developments could emerge from behind the scenes, shaping an atmosphere of uncertainty.

Tough Times for President Trump

The Moon, which rules the 10th house of leadership and represents President Trump, is placed in the 12th house. This usually points to isolation, working behind the scenes, or involvement in secret matters like hidden agreements or foreign deals. The Moon is under pressure from three strong planets: Jupiter as 6th Lord (linked to health, conflict, and the military), Venus as 8th Lord (linked to sudden problems or crises), and Mercury as 12th lord (connected to secrets, foreign matters, and hospitals).

This setup shows that President Trump may face serious challenges both from outside and within his own circle. These could include health issues, hidden problems in the government, or tensions with other countries.

Looking at the Navamsa (D-9) chart for deeper insight, the 8th house ruler (which represents sudden events or secrets) is in the 10th house of leadership. This adds to the possibility of unexpected troubles affecting the President’s role or public image. Overall, it looks like a time of stress and uncertainty for the presidency, with problems coming from both visible and hidden sources.

Law Steps In: Courts Trouble Trump

Since both Saturn and Jupiter are aspecting the 10th lord Moon, it suggests that the judiciary and legal system will likely put significant pressure on the government and President Trump. Legal challenges, court decisions, or investigations could become major concerns during this time.

This is further supported in the Navamsa (D-9) chart, where the 10th lord Mercury is placed in the 9th house (which represents law, justice, and higher authority) along with Jupiter. JupiterLagna lord of D-9, is also in a sign exchange with the Sun the 9th Lord , strengthening the connection between leadership and legal matters. This confirms that legal issues may play a key role in shaping the President’s path during this period.

Poorva Bhadrapada’s Alert: Scams and Market Crashes

The Full Moon falls under Poorva Bhadrapada—a fierce and intense star—bringing turbulent energy, especially with Saturn and Rahu in the mix. This heavy affliction suggests that deception won’t go unnoticed. Liars, fraudsters, and shady traders may face serious consequences, from exposure to financial loss.

Venus also takes a hit, which could ripple through financial markets. Stock exchanges like Wall Street and currencies like the dollar or crypto may see sharp declines, tightening money flow across the board.

Northern U.S. regions—states like Maine, Minnesota, or the Dakotas—could feel the brunt through health concerns, job losses, or labor unrest. Could this star’s harsh influence send shockwaves across the nation?
