The Jet Was Just the Beginning: Unpacking the Stars Behind the Qatar–Trump Saga
Astrological insights reveal the deeper implications of a high-flying gift and its ties to global power dynamics.
On May 11, 2025, ABC News broke the story: Qatar offered a $400 million private jet to Donald Trump during his presidency. Most took it as a bombshell. But astrologically, the timing wasn’t accidental—and the implications are still unfolding. A transit chart cast for the moment the article went live tells a deeper story about international leverage, transactional power, and what still hasn’t been said.

This article isn’t concerned with the jet itself. It’s about the astrology of the story’s publication—the chart of the report, not the plane. That distinction matters. This is the astrology of how the story unfolds through the media, not necessarily through real time and back channels that the public will never have access to.
Using the chart from the report by ABC News, the Hermetic Lots, along with Zodiacal Releasing from Spirit, this report maps the mechanics behind the media moment—and outlines when the real consequences start to take shape.
PART 1: The Chart – Astrological Mechanics Behind the Qatar Plane Report
To understand what this story sets in motion, we start with the chart for the moment ABC published the report. On May 11, 2025, Sagittarius was rising at 12°, placing Jupiter—the ruler of the chart—in Gemini in the 7th house. This is a night chart, which makes Mars the malefic of the sect and Saturn the one contrary to it. That detail matters. This isn’t just a media moment—it’s a collision between foreign leverage, executive exposure, and institutional consequence.
The Ascendant and Ruler – Sagittarius Rising, Jupiter in Gemini
The rising sign reflects the public presentation and narrative tone of the article. Sagittarius rising suggests a broadcast-style delivery, ambitious in scope, with the goal of reaching far and wide. However, Jupiter, the chart ruler, is in detriment in Gemini, placed in the 7th house of opponents, legal confrontations, and transactional diplomacy. In this position, Jupiter lacks discipline. It talks more than it listens, assumes it understands nuance, but skips the deep work of accountability. In a news chart, this points toward the article raising more strategic questions than it answers, particularly regarding the nature of the Qatar-Trump arrangement.
Jupiter is ruled by Mercury in Taurus, also in the 7th house. Mercury here prioritizes security, preservation, and controlled messaging. It's positioned in a sign known for stability, but also for obstinacy and deliberate silence when challenged. The implication is clear: while the report centers on Jupiterian themes—foreign wealth, prestige, power relationships—it is curated under the influence of a Mercury that favors plausible deniability over transparency.
Venus, Mercury, and the Fifth House
Venus in Aries rules Mercury and sits in the fifth house, a place associated with gifts, pleasure, and theatrics. In Aries, Venus is in detriment—her offerings come with volatility. Venus here is not acting diplomatically; she’s making a scene. That the report revolves around a luxury aircraft—arguably a Venusian symbol of status, appearance, and excess—reinforces this. Venus in Aries functions instinctively and selfishly, often without fully grasping consequence. This suggests that the material subject of the article—the plane—is less important than the optics and reaction it creates.
Venus trines Mars in Leo in the ninth house, forming part of a grand fire trine that includes the Ascendant. This indicates that the publication itself (ASC) is emboldened and supported by a cooperative relationship between explosive gift-giving (Venus in Aries) and international ambitions (Mars in Leo, 9H). Mars, dignified by triplicity and ruling the house where Venus resides, shows intentionality behind the public leak. It speaks to a bold push for narrative dominance through symbolic power gestures.
The Moon – Scorpio, 12th House
The Moon, waxing in Scorpio in the 12th house, sits in its sign of fall and in the house of hidden enemies, secrecy, and institutional sabotage. It is ruled by Mars in the 9th, which squares it by sign. This places emotional and public response (Moon) under the domination of military, legal, or religious power structures (Mars in the 9th).
A 12th house Moon in Scorpio does not trust. It withholds, obsesses, and investigates. This suggests that the report isn’t only a factual drop—it is a signal to other institutions or actors who have been quietly tracking this story. The Moon here indicates both paranoia and precision: the intention is to expose secrets, not stir sentiment. Additionally, the Moon ruling the 8th house of Cancer ties the emotional content of the article to financial secrecy, backdoor arrangements, and non-public contracts.
The Sun and Uranus – Taurus, 6th House
The Sun in Taurus, conjunct Uranus, sits in the 6th house—typically associated with labor, logistics, and service. Here, the Sun rules the 9th house and reflects foreign relationships, law, and belief systems. The conjunction to Uranus delivers the shock element of the report—its disruption, instability, and political charge. Taurus grounds the surprise in practical concerns: executive decisions, logistics, retrofits, and expenses. This is not an ideological exposé. It's a material fact pattern laid bare.
The Sun's placement in the triplicity of the Moon, term of Jupiter, and face of Saturn reinforces the idea that this is a materially consequential move with long-term political and legal implications. The power of the article is in what it documents, not how it editorializes.
Saturn – Pisces, 4th House
Saturn in Pisces occupies the fourth house and opposes the Midheaven in Virgo, where the South Node sits. Saturn here symbolizes decay within the foundations of power—unstable institutions, unchecked executive discretion, and lack of legal restraint. As the malefic contrary to sect, it functions as a slow, corrosive force working beneath the surface. It is in the triplicity and face of Mars, activating destructive potential cloaked in confusion. This position reinforces the sense that this report may open legal or constitutional questions that are not easily resolved—especially regarding the Emoluments Clause and the role of foreign state actors in domestic political theater.
The square between Jupiter and Saturn underscores this. Jupiter (the report’s tone and ruling planet) is walking directly into Saturn's wall—a clash between puffed-up optimism and structural boundary. The rules may be vague, but they are not absent. This square suggests the story creates legal friction and further erodes the fantasy that foreign gifts can be treated as casual tokens.
Mercury-Pluto Square – 3rd and 7th House
Mercury in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius in the 3rd house. This aspect signals narrative control attempts, counterintelligence, and the manipulation of public discourse. Mercury is being pressured to uphold a polite, restrained appearance while Pluto forces it to leak, resist, or rewire the message. This square reflects a dynamic of propaganda versus exposure—with Pluto placing relentless pressure on Mercury to respond to investigative momentum. Pluto’s position in the 3rd speaks directly to media systems and message pipelines—the conversation is being surveilled, reshaped, and possibly redirected by actors with long-term strategic aims.
Nodal Axis – 10th/4th House, Virgo-Pisces
The South Node in Virgo in the 10th house, ruled by Mercury, emphasizes a departure from protocol and traditional moral order. The article’s publication reflects a break from formal procedure, and possibly a deliberate deviation from expected coverage norms. The North Node in Pisces in the 4th, under Saturn’s shadow, suggests the country’s roots—its constitution, founding principles, and assumed values—are being tested by ambiguity. This is a story about what happens when the lines between diplomacy, vanity, and legality blur beyond recognition.
What This Means
This was not a leak—it was a strategic drop. The astrology of the report shows a coordinated move intended to stir controversy, not just deliver facts. The placement of Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury tells us the story was timed for maximum symbolic impact, and not intended to offer transparency. This wasn’t journalism for public understanding—it was a message directed at institutions, enemies, and insiders.
The chart shows this article was published to initiate opposition, legal pressure, and public backlash. It was designed to activate critics of the Regime and expose vulnerabilities. The inclusion of Uranus with the Sun in Taurus confirms that the timing was meant to be destabilizing. This article was a controlled detonation.
The Moon in Scorpio in the 12th house shows us that the real story is still hidden. This isn’t the full picture—it’s the first move. Surveillance, secret deals, and strategic leaks are active behind the scenes. Mars in the 9th ruling the Moon indicates the involvement of foreign actors, military influence, or legal threats already in motion.
The square between Mercury and Pluto signals that information warfare is ongoing. The narrative is being shaped, distorted, and countered in real time. Saturn in Pisces—opposing the Midheaven and squaring Jupiter—shows that the story will lead to structural consequences, especially around executive power, legal precedent, and constitutional limits.
Conclusions:
This report was published intentionally to destabilize and provoke—not just report.
It will likely be the basis for a legal challenge or public ethics investigation.
There are more details not yet revealed—this was the first drop in a larger information campaign.
The reaction to this story will test the limits of U.S. institutions and define the next phase of the Trump Regime’s entanglement with foreign power.
This is not just a story about a plane. It’s the opening shot of a new political offensive.
Part 2: The Lots – The Underlying Mechanics of the Message
While the chart tells us what this report is doing on the surface, the Hermetic Lots give us insight into the deeper fate of the story—what drives it, who it activates, and what consequences will quietly unfold behind the scenes. Each lot represents a focused point of meaning—what’s exalted, what’s necessary, what turns to rot—and in this case, they add definition to the larger arc of this moment.
These are not abstract symbols. They are outcome indicators.
Lot of Fortune – 18° Gemini, 7th House
What manifests physically from the story.
Fortune in the 7th shows the report lands directly in the hands of opponents. This is a publication that becomes fuel for adversaries—legally, diplomatically, and politically. It’s not about moral outrage; it’s about leverage. Gemini reflects contradiction and public narrative management. The consequences here are not physical violence or market collapse—they are adversarial scrutiny and reputational erosion. What emerges is not a scandal in full, but the start of a slow and deliberate dissection.
Lot of Spirit – 5° Gemini, 7th House
The intentional will or strategy behind the story.
Spirit also lands in Gemini in the 7th, reinforcing that this publication was never neutral. The intent was direct confrontation. The report is stylized to provoke institutional reaction, not just inform the public. With Mercury ruling and under duress from Pluto, the hand behind the message isn’t simply editorial—it’s tactical. This is controlled media used as a weapon. The message doesn’t aim for resolution; it aims for fracture.
