It is one of history’s great ironies that the infamous Jeffrey Epstein was born on the same day that Dwight Eisenhower began his term as President: January 20, 1953. We do not have Epstein’s birth time, which means we cannot know his house positions. In such a case, a chart is usually set for sunrise or for Noon. Regardless of his birth time, we do know that Epstein had the Moon in Aries. If he had been born just after midnight, his Moon would have been at 3 Aries and conjunct transiting Neptune. If he had been born after 11 pm, his Moon would have been at 17 Aries, and conjunct transiting Saturn. Placing the birth time at Noon puts his Moon at 10 Aries, and it is conjunct both transiting Neptune and Saturn.
A Solar Eclipse will take place on August 12, 2026. On the same day, the planets will form a Kite formation. Uranus in Gemini, Venus in Libra, and Pluto in Aquarius will form a Grand Trine in Air. Pluto forms the spine of the Kite with an opposition to Mercury and Jupiter in Leo. Mercury and Jupiter are sextile Venus in Libra and Uranus in Gemini forming the wings of the Kite. With the Grand Trine in Air connecting with Mercury’s communication and Jupiter’s legal power in the Ninth House of legal matters., this may be a major time for revelation and communication, helping to expose secrets that have been hidden for too long.
When Jeffrey Epstein’s speculative chart is laid around the Solar Eclipse chart, some interesting connections appear. Epstein’s Aquarian Sun is conjunct Pluto in the Grand Trine, suggesting he might be the subject of the revelations. Epstein’s Pluto in Leo is conjunct the Solar Eclipse, as well as the Midheaven of the eclipse chart. The Solar Eclipse is sextile Epstein’s Natal Neptune and Saturn conjunction in Libra. It is possible we may learn about Jeffrey Epstein’s fantasies and motivations, as well as the practical details of how he turned his fantasies into reality. We might even find out the true story of the mysterious temple on Epstein’s island, and what strange rituals may have gone on there.
Transiting Saturn is in a wide square to Epstein’s Mercury. This could be another sign of discovering insight into Epstein’s state of mind. If Epstein’s Moon is conjunct transiting Saturn, there may be discussion of his emotional needs and how they were played out over the years. Since Aries is the sign of “I AM”, Epstein may have been using his Aries Moon for selfish gratification. His Moon may have been squaring his Natal Uranus in Cancer, which could further indicate self-centered behavior and resistance to showing familial kindness to others. If his Moon was semi-sextile his Jupiter in Taurus and trine the South Node in Leo, his attitude could have been, “I got mine!”
One interesting feature of the Epstein chart is a conjunction of Venus and Mars in Pisces. Venus and Mars conjunctions are usually found in the charts of intensely passionate people. With the two planets in Pisces, fantasy and acting out fantasy may have been a strong indulgence. Adding to the conjunction is the nearby presence of Juno, which has been called the asteroid of marriage. I see it representing the original concept of marriage, in which people married to gain money, social status, and political connections, rather than for romance. In Epstein’s case, Juno aligned with the Venus-Mars conjunction may have used sexuality and personal desire for political control. Epstein’s Jupiter is sextile his Juno-Mars-Venus, and with the eclipse Jupiter squaring Epstein’s Jupiter, there could be exposures about the nature of his wealth and control over others. There may be revelations about Epstein’s political connections, and whether he was working for the Israeli secret service.
Epstein’s Juno, Venus, and Mars in Pisces trine his Uranus in Cancer. All four in the trine form a trine to the Scorpio Ascendant of the Solar Eclipse chart, and the Solar Eclipse squares that Ascendant. This aspect could bring a catharsis of emotional issues raised by Epstein’s pedophile career. Uranus in Cancer trine the Scorpio Ascendant may expose what went on in Epstein’s homes. Juno, Venus, Mars trine the Scorpio Ascendant may reveal the political connections made by his career. (Prince Andrew may only have been the tip of the iceberg.) The Solar Eclipse squaring the Ascendant may be the battering ram that brings it all out into the open.
Transiting Juno is moving retrograde into Capricorn, and is forming a square with Epstein’s Saturn and Neptune. It may take a powerful political effort, possibly involving other countries, to break open the Epstein files and shatter the illusionary world that Epstein had set up. In the Solar Eclipse chart, Mars is just entering Cancer and squaring Venus in Libra and Neptune in Aries. Mars may represent the violent shock required to bring the revelations to light. Venus opposing Neptune may indulge in speculative arguments, but the presence of Mars might create an explosion that no one can dream away.
Epstein’s Aquarius Sun is quincunx the eclipse Mars in the Eighth House. It is possible that some of the revelations may concern the mysterious death of Epstein, which may be considered the most questionable suicide. The Solar Eclipse is quincunx Epstein’s Mercury. The revelations may concern not just what Epstein knew, but with whom he knew it. Epstein’s Pluto is also quincunx his Mercury. It is possible there may have been deaths among his colleagues as questionable as Epstein’s death. The eclipse in the Ninth House conjunct Epstein’s Pluto may bring about some new murder investigations.
Another set of aspects for the day of the Solar Eclipse is that six planets will form sextiles. Pluto in Aquarius is sextile Neptune in Aries. Neptune is sextile Uranus in Gemini. Uranus is sextile Mercury and Jupiter in Leo, Mercury and Jupiter are sextile Venus in Libra. Such a row of sextiles is known as a Harmonic Chain, bringing positive changes around a person’s chart. Oddly enough, there is a body at 4 Sagittarius which closes the chain for the chart. The asteroid Themis (Asteroid 24) has been considered the ruler of divine law, and was named after the titan of Justice. The symbol for Themis is a combination of the Scales and the Sword of Justice. Having Themis in the line of sextiles may bring closure to those who have suffered at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein. Also, Themis adds an interesting new Kite pattern to the chart. Themis in Sagittarius is trine Mercury and Jupiter in Leo and Neptune in Aries. The spine of the Kite runs from Neptune to Venus in Libra. Venus is sextile both Themis and Mercury-Jupiter. The Fire Grand Trine provides a complement to the Air Grand Trine. The Air provides the communication of the information. The Fire provides the passion to act upon the information. It will not be a stale news cycle, but one that could erupt legally and morally like a volcano.
