2025-2029 Forecast - Part 6: Mucking Things Up

Here’s a post about Musk that I wrote a month before the Inauguration. Back then I never suspected he’d waltz into the OMB, say, "USAID must die," and begin dismantling our government.

But everything I wrote still stands, and means even more now that we know Musk isn’t going away any time soon.


So it’s December 20, and right now Congress is trying to avoid a government shutdown while a billionaire from another country is threatening them if they don’t vote the way he wants them to.

This same billionaire bought Twitter, let abusive bullies and hostile foreign agents back in, throttled anyone who spoke against him, and repeatedly reposted pro-Russian messages, no matter how misleading they were.

In short, the richest man in the world is a real dick. And right now he’s trying to call the shots in our government.

Because of that, we’re going to cover him here to try to see just how much damage he’ll do.

The Birth of a Bastard

Musk was born with Mercury directly conjunct his Ascendant, which gives him all those mercurial qualities.

And what really overloads his circuits is he has Mercury square Uranus, which means the planet of thinking and communications is in a challenging square to the planet of electricity and invention. Which makes him wired and spouting eccentric ideas.

     Mercury square Uranus natal sets you apart from the pack because of your different way of thinking and communicating. While you may have a brilliant mind, your sometimes provocative ideas or eccentric manner can upset others and lead to relationship difficulties.
     The prankster in you can also lead to others being offended or insulted; the same can result if you have an abrupt way of speaking. People may think you are just out for attention by shocking them or being deliberately argumentative.
     Your unorthodox and inventive way of thinking could lead to a career as a scientist, designer, engineer, inventor, or mad professor. Computers and the internet would provide a healthy income, with the internet, in particular, being an excellent way for you to communicate.

Having his Sun, Mercury, and Ascendant all in Cancer gives him much more of an emotional basis from which he makes his decisions. He’s not relying on facts, because to him facts are simply how he feels.

Caught in the Fog

He has his Moon square Saturn (depression, lack of compassion), and his emotions aren't on the most solid ground to begin with, in that he has his Moon square Neptune, the planet of delusion. This could mean daydreaming, not seeing things clearly, paranoia, or addiction.

And what would push that even further is how he was born with Jupiter conjunct Neptune. Yep, just like Vance. (This conjunction happens only every thirteen years, and Musk is thirteen years older than Vance.)

This aspect can mean inspiration and compassion (which we’ve never seen from either of them), or outright delusion, where you see what you want to see. And now we have two ambitious men with this aspect at the top of our government.

Wired for Invention

His Mars, which rules cars, is in Aquarius, the sign of invention and electricity. Very apt. As is his Aries Midheaven (career), ruled by Mars. His Mars is also square Jupiter, showing he’s apt to go too far at times. In fact, he’s said he aims for "maximum intensity" in all he does.

     The high energy of this aspect needs some creative, competitive, or physical outlet. Otherwise, restlessness can build up into aggressive, impulsive, or risky actions.
     Immoderate ambition, or wanting it all and wanting it now, makes this the aspect of a gambler. But a mix of overconfidence, impulsiveness, and impatience brings the risk of losing it all.
     - Astrology King

Other marks of invention and dealing with rockets come from his Sun square Uranus (rebellion, innovation) and Sun square Pluto (control issues, explosives).

     Sun square Uranus natal encourages you to do things your way. A very complex person, you are most likely brilliant and independent. You stand out from the crowd in an obvious way. The need to express your distinctive ego through your personality and career can often cause conflict with others. You can come across as abrupt, rebellious, or just weird.
     - Astrology King

     Sun square Pluto natal has an unsettling effect on personal relationships because of your intense nature. Ego conflicts are likely because you like to be in control of situations. When you feel like you are not in control, your level of agitation rises, resulting in others feeling threatened. You will often have these power struggles with other influential people and authority figures.
     You can channel your intensity into determination and hard work. Being ambitious while remaining less concerned with the competition will lead to a position of power and authority.
     - Astrology King

Finally, his Venus is also square Pluto, showing jealousy and greed. Or having gotten his wealth by underhanded means, like slave labor, which Pluto rules.

Summary

So in all, a very wired chart. But it shows he’s doing exactly what his blueprint called for, in working with rockets and electric cars, plus satellites to beam his deceits around the world.

Synastry: Electric Connections

The big question is, how long will his bromance with Trump last?

If you check out a synastry of their charts, there’s a lot going on. First, there’s a great deal that would show how they enjoy each other’s company and views on things.

Like how Musk’s Mars is trine Trump’s Sun, Jupiter, and Uranus. This means Musk’s actions help Trump, just as we’ve seen in the election.

At the same time, Trump’s Mars is trine Musk’s Midheaven, showing Trump’s actions help Musk’s career and status in return.

And Trump’s Jupiter is conjunct Musk’s Uranus, which is like giving the rocket all the boost it needs and more. They’re likely to urge each other on like kids doing stunts with bikes.

But all is not well here.

Deceiving Don

Any of the following aspects between their charts would be reason enough to watch out for deception in business relationships. But with all four, you wonder who’s deceiving who.

Musk’s Sun square Trump’s Neptune

     This comparative combination can produce many confusions and misunderstandings in a relationship. [Trump] is likely to be unreliable and deceptive toward [Musk]. [Musk] tends to be bossy and authoritarian toward [Trump], and [Trump]’s defense will be evasiveness.    
     - Sakoian/Acker, The Astrology of Human Relationships

Musk’s Neptune square Trump’s Mars

     This comparative combination is one of the most deceptive and treacherous combinations that can exist in a relationship, especially if it is afflicted by other planets in the comparison.
     [Musk] is apt to be devious and deceptive, and these traits will arouse anger and resentment in [Trump]. [Musk] is likely to regard [Trump] crude, overbearing, and insensitive. [Musk] is likely to annoy [Trump] because of his inefficiency, confusion, and daydreaming.
     This is not a good combination for professional or business relationships, since some form of deception is likely to be practiced.

Musk’s Neptune square Trump’s Ascendant

Trump’s Neptune square Musk’s Ascendant

     [Both] will seem evasive and confusing to the [other]. [Both are] likely to regard the [other] as lost in his or her own private fantasy world, unreliable, and hard to pin down to definite mutual commitments and responsibilities.

And finally, we have a contest of wills here. Or at least egos.

Musk’s Mars opposite Trump’s Mars

     Both natives are apt to act in an impulsive, self-centered, aggressive way, and thus threaten each other's personal desires and drive for self-preservation. Any tendency toward coercive action on the part of either native will arouse opposition and resentment in the other.
     The natives are generally prone to quarrel with each other, often from a strong sense of mutual competition. In extreme cases, actual physical confrontation can take place. The handling of business affairs, joint finances, corporate money, inheritance, or professional affairs can be a source of conflict and irritation.

Musk’s Saturn square Trump’s Mars

     Difficulties in professional relationships of all kinds are indicated. The natives are likely to make unreasonable and inconsiderate demands on each other. There can be conflict and, possibly, lawsuits over corporate funds, insurance, inheritances, and alimony.

Musk’s Pluto square Trump’s Sun

     This comparative combination can produce a power struggle. [Musk] resists [Trump]'s authoritarian tendencies, and [Trump] resents and resists [Musk]'s attempts to try to mold or reform him. They can disagree over the handling of joint finances, inheritances, insurance, alimony, or corporate money.
     They are likely to vie with each other for power in some situation of mutual importance.

Musk’s Pluto square Trump’s Moon

     [Musk] can tend to emotionally dominate and bully [Trump] to the point where the latter becomes resentful and uncooperative. This is not a good combination for cooperation in business, and there is likely to be lack of harmony and agreement concerning family, domestic, and joint financial affairs.

So yeah, not exactly the kind of glowing synastry one would like to see with someone so close to the President.

Musk’s Transits

For all of 2024 he’s had a couple good transits from Saturn. Now he’ll encounter rough patches for the spring of 2025 through Feb 2027, with trouble making changes or issues of power.

Then in March 2028 he’ll make a comeback with Saturn at the highest point in his chart, as it does every 29 years. But more frustrations in the middle of 2029 through 2030.

Uranus

Uranus was square his Mars for early 2022 to April 2024. This is the same transit Trump has for another few months, and which makes people unpredictable, as when Musk bought Twitter and then tried to back out.

Looking ahead at the next four years, what stands out is how Uranus is in a hard aspect to his Jupiter/Neptune conjunction.

Uranus opposite Jupiter     May 2024 - Mar 2026

     You are inclined at this time to break away from secure situations and leap out into the unknown simply for the sake of the challenge. If you act too quickly, you may find yourself out on a very unpleasant limb, but if you don't act quickly enough, the chance is lost. Consequently this transit can produce both sudden losses and sudden gains. This is a gambler's transit, and many people respond to it by taking very long-shot risks.    
     - Robert Hand, Planets in Transit

Uranus opposite Neptune     Jul 2024 - Feb 2027

     You may suddenly start chasing after wild and impractical dreams, become involved with persons who are very out of touch with reality and generally get your goals thoroughly scrambled.

Uranus conjunct Saturn     Aug 2024 - Mar 2027

     An unbearable tension between your desire to be free of restrictions and your fear of insecurity and change. You may break off an unsatisfactory relationship or business partnership, leave a job that has become oppressive, or suddenly break away from something else that has become a burden.

He’s halfway through those, and look at all he’s done in the past few years with that first one pushing him to do more. And he's definitely become involved with someone very out of touch with reality.

 

So really, those three sum up the past year for him - suddenly jumping into supporting Trump after saying he wouldn't back either candidate, getting caught up in political delusions, and sometime in 2026 or early 2027 he'll likely make a break for it.

And to round out the next few years after that, he’s got this one.

Uranus square Moon     Jul 2026 - May 2028

     Every little tension that you have suppressed over the last several years will suddenly demand to be released in some way. In a marriage, this transit can have the effect of either you or your partner suddenly breaking away.
     Others may think you are crazy because of your actions at this time. But this is only a temporary period of instability, during which you will come to a new understanding of your emotional needs.

This backs up his making a break for it in 2026. The good news for him is once he makes that break, he'll have Uranus trine his Uranus for Aug 2026 - Mar 2029, which will be a very productive time of innovation.

Neptune

His Neptune has been trine his Jupiter/Neptune conjunction for the past two years, giving him lots of imagination and feeling like a visionary. Now the fog is going to come in.

Neptune square Sun     Jul 2025 - Dec 2028

     An increased level of insecurity or confusion and disappointment in your personal or professional life. Deception and betrayal are more likely, so it would be wise not to take significant risks, speculate on the stock market, or gamble during this transit. Any feeling of insecurity will only be made worse by turning to escapism through drugs and alcohol.
     - Astrology King

So for basically Trump’s whole second term, we got as his enforcer a guy born with Neptune conjunct Jupiter getting sloshed on Neptune’s fog and becoming even more confused.

Progressions

Musk had his progressed Moon square his Midheaven for the very month he bought Twitter, showing it was an impulsive buy, going only on his emotions.
 

Here's where he may have a few times of struggle.

Progressed Moon square Neptune     Jun 2025
Emotional, deceptive

Progressed Moon conjunct Moon     Feb 2026
Emotional, a new Moon that comes only every 28 years

Progressed Moon conjunct Pluto     mid-Aug - mid-Sep 2027
Power issues, domineering

Progressed Moon conjunct Uranus     Sep 2028
Unpredictable

Long-Term Progressions

He’ll have his progressed Sun trine his Midheaven for May 2025 to May 2027, and Venus trine his Midheaven for mid-2026 to mid-2028, both of which will help his career and public standing.

 

But the years after that, 2028 and 2029, won’t be as good to him. Maybe because he’ll lose his connection to The White House, or trouble with the law.

Progressed Sun square Neptune     Nov 2027 - Nov 2029
Not seeing things clearly or trying to deceive people

Progressed Sun square Saturn     Mar 2028 - Mar 2030
Feeling held back or trouble with authorities

Progressed Venus square Neptune     Jul 2028 - Jul 2030
Trying to mislead about his finances or making bad investments

Progressed Venus square Saturn     Oct 2028 - Oct 2030
Not doing well financially or depressed
 

Summary

To put all his transits and progressions together, Uranus has been pushing him to do more, to the point of being reckless, but he might well make a break of it all and go back to his rockets before 2027. At the same time, Neptune will be making him feel insecure and confused.

 

Then in 2028 his progressions take a down-turn just as his transits say he’ll be doing well. Most astrologers say transits affect the outer events of our lives, and progressions reflect the inner challenges we'll face, so this will be a good test to see if that's how it works.

Wrapping Up

Right now Musk is like a rocket careening off course, making a big show of debris raining down wherever he goes, and it's going to take another year or two before he realizes he's done all he can to get his Mars mission running and it's time to head back to the launching pads.

 
And then in 2028 or 2029 he'll probably run into trouble with the law. But he's a mercurial weasel on speed, with a ton of resources and boldness, and they tend to survive as long as they don't burn themselves out.
