The Gemini Connection:
USA, JFK, RFK Jr., Trump, and Musk
Astrologer Maureen Richmond, Ph.D.
A curious conjunction of factors in Gemini binds together the USA, former president John F. Kennedy, environmental attorney and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., current president Donald Trump, and high-tech multi-billionaire Elon Musk. All have planetary positions in the range of 17 – 23 degrees of Gemini.
USA
Born with the final signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, the USA is a Cancerian nation with the Sun at 13 degrees of Cancer and Jupiter at 6 degrees of that same sign. Therefore profoundly Cancerian, the USA is known for its promise of plenty, safety, and security, its appeal to large populations, and its capacity to gather much into its embrace, as well as for its tendency, crab-like, to reach out and attempt to both manipulate and take care of the world at large.
But the Mars position of the USA is 21 degrees of Gemini, revealing a different side of the national character. The USA Mars at 21 degrees of Mercury-ruled Gemini indicates an interest in and pursuit of modes of travel and information dissemination. The federal highway system is a manifestation of the Gemini influence, as is the early space program, which catapulted humanity into space. Earlier, America led the way in the development of the airplane.
The dissemination of information has been a priority of the nation from the beginning, in early times nothing fancier than the stoking of the rumor mill with whispers and implications designed to help the American agenda. During World War II, the USA Mars in Gemini manifested as The Voice of America, a radio program broadcast in Europe to articulate and promote the values of American culture. In modern times, the national emphasis on information dissemination has taken other turns, becoming a major tool for the shaping of public opinion both abroad and at home through the aggressive use of social media.
Further, Mars in Gemini in the USA chart suggests a vital interest in education. Although currently mired in controversy and inefficiency, the U.S. Department of Education is an example of the priority set on matters of Gemini, as the Mars position would suggest.
Mars stirs up disputation wherever it may go, so space travel, the spread of propaganda, and the federal management of education have all been items of intense public debate and litigation. An example of Mars in Gemini roiling up contention in regard to the national education system would be the mandated racial integration of the public school system, a highly controversial and contentious issue in its day. An equal if not greater furor has arisen over the intrusion of federal control into social media content, a raging national controversy which ultimately brought down a presidency and resulted in a political movement championing freedom of speech. The intense desire for freedom of speech is itself a manifestation of Mars in Gemini. Much resides in the USA Mars position at 21 degrees of Gemini.
JFK
Born on May 29, 1917, former president John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a sun sign Gemini with Venus at 17 degrees of Gemini. Famous for its changeable and inconstant ways, Gemini is emotionally fickle. With Venus in that sign, so was JFK. But whatever his personal problems with women might have been, Gemini JFK was a brilliant orator who lit a fire to the nation’s soul with his stirring articulations of Constitutional values, always couched in classically-inspired figures of speech. The power of the word was indeed with JFK. He used it to maximum advantage in his lamentably short political career, originating literary tropes of American patriotism still proudly used today by all sides of the political spectrum. Part of what made it so was Venus at 17 degrees of Gemini.
RFK, Jr.
Born January 17, 1954, Robert Francis Kennedy, Jr. is a sun sign Capricorn with Jupiter at 17 degrees of Gemini. A brilliant attorney known for his defense of river systems, ecological principles, and those injured by toxic injections, RFK Jr. is distinguished internationally for his passionate articulation of democratic principles. Long devoted to the hard work of pointing out corporate pollution and malfeasance, RFK Jr. has been appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services in the second Trump presidential administration. A dogged researcher who has compiled astounding amounts of information on topics of key interest to the public, RFK Jr. has a terrific memory for facts and figures, a direct manifestation of his Jupiter position, retrograde at 17 degrees of Gemini. Wherever Jupiter is by sign in an individual’s astrology, there is expansion. RFK Jr.’s Jupiter in the sign of Gemini has clearly contributed to his role as a compiler of extensive data sets as the basis for an informed decision.
Donald Trump
Born June 14, 1946, American President Donald Trump is a sun sign Gemini with Uranus at 18 degrees of Gemini, the lunar north node at 21 degrees of Gemini, and the Sun at 23 degrees of Gemini. A true Geminian, Trump is known world-wide for his distinctive use of language and for his choppy communication style. True to the changeability of the Gemini archetype, Trump has often seemed inconstant if not downright erratic to observers. Even so, he has been able to demonstrate an impressive level of political genius, re-designing the Republican party and changing it from an antiquated club of elites to a vital populist movement in a few short years. Trump epitomizes the Gemini power of adaptation, successfully morphing his expertise in real estate, investment, and international business into a tv personality and then a political persona which has spoken to a large segment of the American electorate. His astrology includes the notable convergence of Uranus, the lunar north node, and the Sun from 18 to 23 degrees of Gemini.
Elon Musk
Born on June 28, 1971, Elon Reeve Musk is a sun sign Cancer with both Saturn and Venus in Gemini. Musk’s Venus is located at 19 degrees of Gemini. His Gemini characteristics are utterly obvious. A mentally-oriented individual who has made a stunning fortune on the strength of his designs for transportation and information processing, Musk is sharp minded and technically sophisticated. His current role as the director of the Department of Government Efficiency calls him to analyze the record-keeping and computer systems of the entire executive branch of the U.S. government. He loves the management of data and delights in this work, a sure sign of his Venus in Gemini. The 19 degree Gemini position in his astrology ties up directly with the 18 degree Gemini position in Trump’s astrology, as well as with Trump’s lunar north node and Sun position.
What Does it All Mean?
The fact that the birth dates of the USA, JFK, RFK Jr., Trump, and Musk contain an outstanding similarity of zodiacal positions is astrologically significant. It means that all are concerned with similar issues, all are drawn to similar venues, and all share in a common destiny.
At the present time, it would appear that the destiny they all share lies in a deep connection with the fate of the American nation. JFK gave his life in trying to lift up the nation to its highest calling, questioning government secrecy and challenging entrenched interests. His nephew suffered the loss of his father in the same effort, and now RFK Jr. challenges entrenched corporate interests in the pharmaceutical and agrichemical industries. Trump has called for an all-of-government overhaul, and Musk has arrived to lend technical support for that objective. On the face of it, it seems all four men have destiny paths which concern the fate of the American nation. The inescapable conclusion to be drawn is that they have not arrived at their positions by random chance.
In 2025, transiting Jupiter will activate the zone of the zodiac where all five entities have planetary positions. From early April to early May 2025, transiting Jupiter will pass through 17 – 23 degrees of Gemini, making conjunctions to the JFK Venus, the Musk Venus, the RFK Jr. Jupiter, the Trump Uranus and lunar north node, the USA Mars, and then the Trump Sun. This sequence of transits will bring much right out into open. It will reveal precisely what the collective conjunctions signify.
Look, therefore, to early April through early May 2025 for a lesson from the Book of Life. Events in that period are sure to disclose the hidden connections between the American nation, the life of JFK and the works of RFK Jr., as well as the efforts of Trump and Musk.
During this period, revelations about the assassination of JFK are likely to emerge in great detail. RFK Jr.’s assault on privileged corporate entities will likely be in full swing. Trump and Musk will have the receipts to show the nation and the world on a range of issues. The common thread is likely to be an effort to locate and make available relevant information, a true Gemini matter.
In sum, it can be said that in the period from early April to early May 2025, not only will the tie which binds together the USA, JFK, RFK Jr., Trump, and Musk be made visible and plain, but also will it be written large, for that is the method of great Jupiter, largest planet in the solar system. It is no exaggeration to say that Jupiter in wordy, talkative Gemini is meant to tell us much.
