His Moon occupies his Fourth House, so when he experiences betrayal, he keeps it to himself. e Fourth House is hidden, personal, and private.
Trump does not take rash, public action when he is triggered. He bides his time. ere’s a gap between when you disappoint Trump and when you get your pink slip.
Venus represents Trump’s validation needs: how he hopes to experience love and appreciation. His Venus is in Cancer, so he needs a deep, emotional, nurturing connection to feel loved and appreciated. Venus rules his Tenth House, so he wants to be validated for his professional accomplishments and public image; Venus occupies his Eleventh House, so he believes that
when he acquires enough love and appreciation, he will nally be happy. Saturn, however, makes it di cult for Trump to receive deposits in either his safety or his validation needs bank accounts.
