Source note in astro-databank:

P.T. quotes bitrh certificate found online. Since the document was evidently posted by Trump, some caution is advised even though there is no evidence that the document was altered. Previously this entry was rated "A" (from memory) and had a birth time of 9:51 AM with the following source: LMR quotes a private source who obtained the data from his mother, confirmed by another astrologer who said, "He laughed, then called his mom."

On Skyscript Astrology Forum, subforum "Nativities & General Astrology" recently there had been a discussion about this topic ("Trump born at 9.51 am according to well respected astrologer", by Greg Young, Sat Oct 12, 2024 12:29 pm).

Based on two significant life events I will try to shed some light on the matter.

As first life event I will use the death of the father.

(Fred) Trump finally fell ill with pneumonia and was admitted to Long Island Jewish Medical Center (LIJMC) for a few weeks, where he died at age 93 on June 25, 1999.

As second life event I will use the death of the mother.

She died one year later on August 7, 2000, at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York, at age 88.

According to the results of the analysis of these two significant life events, death of the father and death of the mother I conclude that the "correct" birth time is 10:54 a.m. and NOT 09:51 a.m.

Thanks, Zak.

Is Isaak Starkman around for confirmation?

Hi Greg,
I don't know if Isaac Starkman is around for confirmation.
I am sure he is a recognized and experienced astrologer, but I highly doubt that he is the highest authority when it comes to birth time corrections.
If I have enough time and desire, I can also try to compare the two birth times with the help of Microastrology using also other significant life events. But at present I don't know if I will do so.

He has posted on here before so it would be interesting to see his opinion.

Your time is the commonly used one I believe?

Your time is the commonly used one I believe?

Since this time that I have favored according to my astrological analytical results is also preferred by astrodata-bank, you seem to be right with your assumption.

Zachariel, thank you very much for this comparison of birth times for Donald Trump. I see that you and Cemal Cicek haven't made predictions for the result of the coming USA presidential election using micro astrology?

Hi Therese,
since I was wrong with my prediction of a possible threat (around or on October 21st, 2024) to Trump, I will refrain a bit from making another prediction.

Addendum:

After the life events "death of father" and "death of mother" I will now examine another event in the life history of Donald J. Trump.
This event is the first marriage of Donald J. Trump.

I will compare the two birth times under discussion each time regarding the event-related planetary pictures. Those birth times have an advantage where the event-related planetary picture deviates only minimally from the exact symmetry and is still within the permitted orb values.

Because we have to take also into account the harmonics produced by square and opposition we have to add or subtract values of Harmonic 512 or Harmonic 1024.

SU/MO, marriage. Man and woman (husband and wife) (Rules, 105)

1°23'59" - 0°42'11.25" = 0°41'47.75"

On the basis of this detailed examination of the life event "second marriage", we can also conclude that the available evidence supports a birth time of 10:54 a.m.

Transits (Harmonic 16)
(permitted orb: approx. 8' - 16')

transit MN/CU (2°51'22") = natal MA/JU (14°05'18") ≠ natal SU/MO (13°46'20")

14°05'18" - 11°15'00.00" =2°50'18"
2°51'22" - 2°50'18" = 0°01'04" (d.f.e.s.)

13°46'20" - 11°15'00.00" = 2°31'20"
2°51'22" - 2°31'20" = 0°20'02" (d.f.e.s. - far off the permitted orb)

14°05'18" - 13°46'20" = 0°18'58" (d.f.e.s. - far off the permitted orb)

It is clear that "natal SU/MO" is not part of the planetary picture anymore.




The examination of the event "third marriage" also points to a birth time of 10:54 a.m. It seems to have become clear that the birth time 09:51 a.m. should be discarded.

Thank you again, Zachariel. We can never have enough support and evidence for a birth time.

You are welcome, Therese.
