Yes, Donald Trump is a Gemini sun. But is he really a Gemini in the way we think of Geminis? Not quite. And if you’re a Gemini who’s tired of being compared to Trump or if you’ve ever heard someone say, “Ugh, I don’t trust Geminis because Trump is one”, you’re definitely not alone.
He Is a Gemini Sun… But That’s It
Trump was born on June 14th, which puts his Sun in Gemini. He also has Uranus in Gemini, but Uranus is a generational planet, meaning a whole bunch of people born around the same time have it there. It doesn’t make anyone especially “Gemini-like” on a personal level.
So, what does having a Gemini Sun even mean?
In traditional astrology, the Sun sign is important, but it’s just one part of a much bigger story. The Sun represents your core identity, yes, but it doesn’t rule your emotions, communication style, behavior, or the way others see you. Especially when it’s upstaged by louder placements, like your Ascendant (rising sign) or Mars.
So while Trump technically is a Gemini, that doesn’t mean he behaves like one or should be used as a Gemini stereotype.
His Gemini Sun Is in the 10th House: All Talk, All Stage
Now, his Gemini Sun isn’t just floating around…it’s sitting right in his 10th house, which is the house of career, public image, and legacy. This actually does track with some of the things he’s known for:
- Talking with his hands
- Talking a lot
- Jumping from topic to topic
- Changing opinions mid-sentence
- Saying one thing one day, another the next
He’s also known for being a deal-maker…remember “The Art of the Deal”? That fits too, because Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the messenger, the trader, the communicator. Mercury energy is quick, flexible, and very much at home in things like negotiation, media, business, stock trading, and selling ideas.
So sure, some of that Gemini stuff shows up in his career persona, especially the way he communicates and flips narratives. But does that make him a “real Gemini”?
Not really.
He’s a Leo Rising. And It Shows.
Trump is Leo rising, and honestly? That’s the energy that screams the loudest in his chart.
Leo risings want to be seen. They want to be recognized, adored, admired, even worshipped. It’s the energy of the performer, the king, the icon. And it’s not just about physical looks (though hello, the iconic hair). The Ascendant represents your entire approach to life, the mask you wear, the filter through which you experience the world.
And Leo rising? It says: “Look at me. I’m important.”
That alone would explain a lot about his larger-than-life presence, the gold-plated everything, the obsession with branding his name, and the endless self-promotion.
But there’s more.
Mars in Leo = King Energy (Close to the Ascendant)
Let’s talk about Mars, the planet of drive, action, aggression, and how we assert ourselves. Trump’s Mars is also in Leo, very close to his Ascendant.
That’s a big deal.
This placement gives someone an enormous amount of self-confidence, patriotism, and sometimes… a bit of a superiority complex. Mars in Leo near the Ascendant says, “I’m the leader. I was born to be at the top.” And whether you love him or not, Trump certainly carries that “center of the universe” energy wherever he goes.
It also tracks with his intense need to be “the best”, to “win”, and to be seen as the biggest, loudest, boldest presence in any room (or on any debate stage).
The only twist? Mars hanging out in his 12th house means a lot of his energy is channeled privately…think secrets, inner motives, and things people don’t always see. That means while he may be aggressive and bold on the outside, there’s a layer of mystery to how he operates behind closed doors. He may take private actions that don’t align with his public persona or he may act from subconscious patterns without realizing it.
He’s Got a Lot of Cancer, Too
While everyone’s busy talking about his Gemini Sun, not enough people mention that he has Mercury, Venus, and Saturn all in Cancer.
That’s a lot of Cancer energy.
Cancer is the sign of home, family, roots, heritage, and yes, patriotism. It’s a very emotionally attached sign, and when it shows up in Mercury and Venus, it means he communicates and values things through the lens of protection, loyalty, and tribe.
If Gemini wants to explore, Cancer wants to cling to what it knows. And Saturn in Cancer adds a kind of defensiveness and deep need for emotional control, especially when it comes to protecting what he sees as “his.”
So this is where you get the guy who:
- Wants to build a wall
- Says “America First” every chance he gets
- Is obsessed with “winning” for his country
- Waves the flag constantly
- And appeals emotionally to tradition and nationalism
This isn’t Gemini energy. It’s Cancer mixed with Leo, with a dash of Mars bravado.
He’s a Gemini Sun, But That’s Not Who He Is
So, is Trump a real Gemini?
Technically? Yes.
Energetically? Not really.
The only Gemini traits that show up in his personality are the loud talking, the scattered messaging, and maybe his ability to switch sides when it’s convenient. But in terms of his actual energy? He’s Leo through and through, with a heavy Cancer flavor, and a touch of Mars-powered drama.
So the next time someone blames Trump for “ruining Geminis,” feel free to remind them: He’s a Gemini Sun… but that’s where the resemblance ends.
