Trump’s Name in “Truckloads” of Epstein Files

July 23, 2025

By Sue Kientz

Last Thursday, the Wall Street Journal printed an eye-opening description of a birthday card Donald Trump purportedly sent his former best friend, disgraced financier and procurer of underage girls Jeffrey Epstein, for this 50th birthday in 2003. The card included a bawdy, hand-drawn figure of a naked woman with scribbled pubic hair resembling Donald Trump’s Sharpie signature and the cryptic message “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”(1) Next day the president sued the paper and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, for $10 billion. Apparently undaunted, today Murdoch’s famously conservative paper issued a red hot follow-up claiming that in May, Pam Bondi, Trump’s Attorney General, told the president that his name appears in multiple places in the Epstein files.(2)  

Alex Miller initially analyzed the beginning of this growing scandal in his ANS article(3) that explained how Jupiter (6 Cancer) square (90 degrees, a difficult position) Saturn (1 Aries) and Neptune (2 Aries) represented Hard Reality and Fact (Saturn) colliding with Mystery, Secrets, and Scandalous Acts (Neptune), a pairing that describes how many Trump supporters were clamoring to know (Saturn, tangible info) who else was involved in Epstein’s lawless behavior with underage girls (Neptune, knowledge obscured), with Jupiter (excessive outbursts) inflaming that emotional demand. Now Jupiter has arrived at 9 Cancer to form a problematic axis with another dynamic duo: dwarf planet Makemake at 9 Libra (symbol of the inexplicable, insane, depraved) and opposite (180 degrees, an adversarial posture) dwarf planet Quaoar (taking risks, gambling, playing games), as Americans learned the news that President Trump was told back in May that his name was found repeatedly in the Epstein files that he promised to release. The American public, lacking any plausible statement from the White House, but rather more careful lies, were faced with the possibility that Trump is equally depraved as Epstein, and was seemingly willing to risk this narrative to take hold in the absence of him leveling with his constituents.

For astrologers, it was clear something like this was coming. Venus (21 Gemini) and Mars (21 Virgo) have been closing in on a conjunction and square to Trump’s Sun (22 Gemini),(4) scheduled to arrive tomorrow (July 24), a sign that some relationship (Venus) will become fraught or present difficult ramifications (Mars). These personal connections arrive as the New Moon (2 Leo) joins yet another uncomfortable combination, opposing Pluto (2 Aquarius), symbolic of other people (opposition) seizing control (Pluto), and square formidable dwarf planet Haumea (1 Scorpio), which can signal devastating change and upheaval. As if to underline its dramatic symbolism, Haumea was discovered two days after the 2004 East Asian Tsunami that killed more than a quarter of a million people over several continents. So Thursday’s New Moon in T-square (an opposition bisected by a square) with Pluto and Haumea is a grand challenge to anyone in the crosshairs of the moment.

All that said, it’s hard to imagine President Trump giving up on his denial and deflection strategy when faced with uncomfortable truths or queries. Therefore expect another week or so of such antics, likely culminating in dramatic fashion around Friday, August 1st, when the Sun and retrograde(5) Mercury (both 9 Leo) cross paths, the backwards Mercury delivering more unpleasant news or media coverage, as the two land right on top of Trump’s Pluto (10 Leo). Another indicator that this won’t sit well with the Deflector in Chief is that Jupiter (11 Cancer) makes a semisquare (45 degrees, less potent than a square but still trouble) to Trump’s Mars (26 Leo), as if all the rest wasn’t trouble enough.
