Donald Trump & Bill Gates: Chart Comparison Reading

Subject A has the stronger chart for wealth and clearly the stronger chart for power. Subject B has clearly the stronger chart for knowledge. Overall in life I put Subject A narrowly ahead, because his chart gives position and money together, while Subject B's gives learning, property and fortune without the same command.

Wealth: Subject A, narrowly

Subject A is the better earner of the two. Money reaches him through people, trade and gains, and it comes easily. His difficulty is what leaves. Two planets sit in his 12th house, so large sums go out on home, comfort, family and other people, and the planet ruling that house is the weakest in his chart. Savings build slowly against a strong inflow.

Subject B's money does not come through income. Direct cash flow is the weaker half of his chart, and his earning has always needed effort and competition. His strength is property and fortune: land, a home, assets held, and the standing that comes from knowing a subject well. Count earnings and gains, and Subject A is ahead. Count what is held, and Subject B is ahead. Together, Subject A by a small margin.

<chart_reasons>

helps: Subject A — Mercury rules both the 2nd and the 11th and sits in its own sign in the 11th, a Dhana Yoga.

against: Subject A — Venus (10th lord) and Saturn (6th and 7th lord) sit in the 12th in great enemy signs, with the debilitated Moon ruling that house.

helps: Subject B — lagna lord Mercury exalted in the 4th in a kendra, with own-sign Venus and exalted Saturn, the 9th lord, filling the 5th.

against: Subject B — the 2nd lord Moon in an enemy sign in the 10th, and the 11th lord Mars in a great enemy sign in the 4th.

</chart_reasons>

Power: Subject A, clearly

Subject A is built to stand in front of others. The Sun sits in his 10th house and Mars sits in his lagna, so he is visible, he takes charge, and rank or responsibility comes to him. Two things cost him. His 10th house also carries Rahu, so the position arrives with controversy or by an unusual route. His 12th holds Venus, so much of the real work happened behind the scenes, in institutions, or away from home.

Subject B's influence runs through knowledge and advice, not command. He is the one consulted, not the one who orders. His 5th house holds his chart's strongest planets. Recognition as an authority has come late and reluctantly, and he has been valued more for what he knows than for what he commands.

<chart_reasons>

helps: Subject A — lagna lord Sun in the 10th, with yogakaraka Mars, lord of the 4th and 9th, in the lagna.

against: Subject A — Rahu conjunct the Sun in the 10th within 2.2°, giving a rise attended by controversy.

against: Subject A — the 10th lord Venus in the 12th in a great enemy sign: the position is exercised out of sight.

helps: Subject B — Moon in the 10th and the 10th lord Jupiter in the 3rd in a great friend's sign: public work through speech and counsel.

against: Subject B — Sun debilitated in the 5th, with neecha bhanga and Venus's company, so authority comes late.

</chart_reasons>

Knowledge: Subject B, clearly

Subject B has the learner's chart of the two. He carries Bhadra Yoga, one of the five great-person combinations, and its whole force runs into learning. His 5th house, the house of study, is the strongest part of either chart. That gives depth, a subject mastered, teachers, research, and the respect that follows. Jupiter in his 3rd house supports teaching and writing.

Subject A is intelligent in a practical way. His intelligence is analytical and commercial, built for deals and networks rather than scholarship. His mind is quick and restless and does not stay long with one subject. He learns what he can use.

<chart_reasons>

helps: Subject B — Mercury exalted in the 4th in a kendra forms Bhadra Yoga, a Mahapurusha yoga.

helps: Subject B — own-sign Venus in the 5th with exalted Saturn, the 9th lord, in the 5th.

against: Subject A — Mercury in its own sign but in the 11th, in Ardra under Rahu's star: a commercial intellect.

against: Subject A — 5th lord Jupiter retrograde in the 2nd, and the Moon debilitated in the 4th with Ketu: a restless, detached mind.

</chart_reasons>

Overall in life: Subject A, narrowly

Subject A's chart gives rank and money together, and those decide how a life is counted by others. Subject B's gives learning, property and a better-protected fortune, in a less commanding life. Each pays for it. Subject A's cost is domestic and emotional: a weak Moon with Ketu in his 4th house, and a crowded 12th. Subject B's cost is in partnership, with his 7th house under three malefic influences. Subject A's strength sits in his 1st, 10th and 11th houses. Subject B's sits in his 4th and 5th. I rank Subject A higher for standing and money, and Subject B higher for learning and for fortune that comes to him easily.

<chart_reasons>

helps: Subject A — yogakaraka Mars in the lagna with the lagna lord in the 10th.

helps: Subject B — a neecha-bhanga Sun in the 5th and the exalted 9th lord in the 5th: protected fortune.

against: Subject A — the 4th house afflicted by Ketu, with malefic aspects from Mars and Rahu.

against: Subject B — the 7th house aspected by Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

The years ahead

Subject A is in Jupiter's main period until 16 November 2032, with Jupiter in his 2nd house. Family money, inheritance and study continue through it, with a capacity for sudden turns. His Sun sub-period runs from 31 May 2027 to 18 March 2028, when the recognition of his working life comes forward again. Saturn's transit keeps his money and status slow until 2 June 2027, and again from 20 October 2027 to 23 February 2028. He is not in Sade Sati, and the next one starts only in 2041.

Subject B's Rahu main period runs from 21 January 2026 to 21 January 2044, with Rahu in his 6th house. Competition, debts, disputes and gains won through fights dominate it. Sade Sati runs to 17 April 2030, with the peak phase until 2 June 2027, and Saturn is crossing his 10th house over the Moon now. His Saturn sub-period to 2 April 2027 keeps study, fortune and property steady while the rest is pressured.
