Trump's Vedic Horoscope - Understanding him again in 2026

Donald Trump’s recent behavior has been marked by bold, confrontational actions and a striking disregard for consequences, often interpreted as both defiant and arrogant.

Trump latest statement (New York Times interview on January 8, 2026): "I don't need international law.... I'm not looking to hurt people.... Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."

He is running through Jupiter main-period in his Vedic Horoscope. Jupiter is placed in the 2nd House/Virgo in his Vedic Horoscope. Jupiter is also retrograde in his birth horoscope.

He speaks in a self‑righteous manner, so even when his words are wrong or illogical, he delivers them as though proclaiming the greatest truth in the world.

--------------------

While analyzing Trump’s horoscope, I wrote this in my March 2025 analysis, which I widely shared with my followers and astrology clients through a WhatsApp broadcast at the time. Here is the exact passage from that earlier analysis:

"Astrologically, Trump was born during a lunar eclipse time. Trump is susceptible to be eccentric minded ... ...he can do anything without thinking much of the implications. He has highly inflated ego.

These two factors can make him take wrong decisions. Once he decides to do anything, he may not be willing to review his plan of action. He can be very unpredictable also.

It is very contradictory, but despite all this he is also susceptible to get under a very strong influence of someone who can make him feel like a God and then he will do and act under the influence of such a sycophant."

Presently, he is running through Jupiter/Venus/Rahu period in his birth horoscope. Rahu sub-sub-period started from Sep 2025 and it will continue till 30th January 2026.

We can see Rahu is conjunct with Sun in his horoscope in the 10th house/Taurus (he is Leo asc.).

Rahu + Sun in the 10th house makes him behave with arrogance; right now Rahu sub-sub-period is running so Rahu's effect is prominently active in his life and making him behave as if he is the king of the entire earth. He is making statements intended to belittle Prime Ministers and Presidents of other nations in front of him.

Moon + Ketu in his horoscope makes him insensitive to how others – and indeed the whole world – feel as a result of his actions. He may not care even if a world war were to break out as a result of his military adventures.

Mars is placed in his 1st house/Leo. He can behave very aggressively and may love to project himself as a charismatic-alpha-male leader. With Mars as the ruler of the 4th house, he has a strong desire to acquire new real estate and to subdue others through brute, arrogant aggression. We know that he is also a builder (real-estate business).

For example, he recently said, "We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security… Denmark is not going to be able to hold it."

Seeing Trump’s conduct, I am reminded of Indian MP Mahua Moitra’s statement in a different context: "The question is not who lit the fire; the question is who handed the matchbox to a crazy person?"

After 30th Jan 2026... he will begin the Venus sub-sub-period in his birth horoscope. Venus is placed in the 12th house/Cancer with Saturn.

Venus is also the 10th house lord, and we know 10th house is where Rahu + Sun yoga is present in his birth horoscope.

So, I will not be surprised if he becomes more militarily-adventurous and tries to gain control on other foreign countries. 

NOTE: Trump’s current push for massive military expansion echoes the overreach that contributed to the decline of past superpowers such as Spain, Britain, and the USSR. His administration has proposed a record defense budget increase — raising Pentagon spending from $901 billion in 2026 to $1.5 trillion in 2027 — while expanding military commitments abroad. This raises serious questions about sustainability and long-term consequences. At the same time, the United States is burdened by a national debt that has surged past $38.5 trillion, and economic performance remains uneven, with growth tempered by high inflation and widening inequality.

Ultimately, his behaviour will lead to his down-fall when he will develop the feeling that he is the biggest emperor. At that moment this same RAHU + SUN yoga in his horoscope will bring the biggest downfall of his life. He should remember that "Rahu first whips you... lifts you up... then suddenly drops you with a jerk."

In the near future, he may face his downfall moment between 9th June 2026 and 10th Nov 2026... during which he will be running through Saturn sub-period (Jupiter/Venus/Saturn period).
