Eric Deters, attorney and former donor to Donald Trump

Why now?

The case involves Kimberly "Kimber" Guilfoyle (former U.S. Ambassador to Greece), who recently resigned following allegations that she asked Deters to pay off a $100,000 personal credit card bill for her in exchange for political access to the Trump administration (read here).

Look at how amazing astrology is and how it reveals real events to us! Prompted by the Deters case that has just come to light regarding the money Kimber asked him for, we see something very interesting. Although Deters is 63 years old and we do not have his exact birth time, his solar chart and the ascendant degrees show us a great deal. At the same time, comparing the Sidereal with the Tropical chart proves to be highly revealing!

First of all, in his chart—just like in Kimber's—we see Neptune dominating, forming aspects with personal planets. In Deters' chart, Neptune forms a square to his Sun and Venus. This aspect paints a rather unreliable picture of the individual, in the sense that they can either mislead others or be misled themselves and fall victim to deception.

Tropical Chart

Venus, beyond its classic attributes, functions as the natural significator of finances, while in this specific chart, it also rules the natural 10th house, which is directly related to the person's public image, reputation, visibility, and career.
When this financial and professional profile comes under the influence of the Sun-Venus square to Neptune, the scenery becomes extremely fragile. Neptune in challenging aspects brings to the surface scandals, ambiguity, behind-the-scenes maneuvers, and financial "bubbles" that sooner or later burst, irreparably damaging the person's public image.
The Sun also enters this game, representing the core of the personality, deepest desires, identity, and the Ego. The involvement of the Sun in the square to Neptune shows that the individual's motives themselves, or the way they express their power, are characterized by a tendency toward illusions or risky choices. The need for visibility and success (Sun/10th house) is blinded by Neptune's deceptive promises, leading to missteps, financial demands, and, ultimately, the dethroning of their reputation.

Sidereal Chart

In the Tropical zodiac, Neptune is located in the 4th house (homeland, family, past, roots). Notice, however, how the data shifts in the Sidereal chart: there, this specific aspect is transferred to the 12th house (the background, hidden secrets) and the 3rd house, with Neptune being placed in the 3rd house (communication, decisions, agreements).
The Sun in Leo, the sign of its rulership, amplifies the need for power, recognition, and influence, often bringing powerful allies and figures of authority into the person's life. However, the Sun's square to Neptune acts like a ticking time bomb for these power relationships. Meanwhile, Venus's involvement in the same square points to the presence of important women of status in his life, who, under Neptune's influence, ultimately become the cause of betrayal, disappointment, or financial rifts.

Reading his background, it all makes sense:
"Deters is a well-known and eccentric figure in Kentucky and Ohio, having worked as a radio host, author, and politician. However, his legal career is fraught with disciplinary actions:
Disbarment: His license to practice law was permanently revoked in Kentucky, and he was forced into retirement in Ohio after repeated ethical violations and misconduct.
Convictions: In 2021, the Ohio Supreme Court fined him for illegally providing legal advice to clients, even though he no longer had the right to practice law."

I don’t need to analyze anything further at this point, as that is not the main purpose of my article.

In the Profections, we see the clear activation of the 4th house, a fact that brings to the forefront the sign of Scorpio, its ruler Mars, Pluto, but also Uranus, which is exalted in Scorpio. This practically means that we have a powerful and dynamic activation of the 4th/10th house axis (Scorpio - Taurus).

The activation of this specific axis is extremely critical for the evolution of the case:

The 4th/10th axis (Scorpio/Taurus):

• Brings deeply hidden secrets, the foundations of his life, and the past (4th house in Scorpio) into conflict with his public image, career, and social status (10th house in Taurus).
• Shows that resource management (Taurus), financial claims, power, and control (Scorpio) are at the center, as these are the quintessential financial signs of the zodiac.

Mars, Pluto, and Uranus: Their combined action heralds sudden (Uranus), violent or behind-the-scenes (Pluto) upheavals and conflicts (Mars) that bring what was hidden to light, shaking both his security and his reputation to their core.

How all of this connects and activates:
Due to his age (63), Uranus has already begun to activate at 4 degrees of Virgo, bringing sudden reversals. Notice how everything clicks astrologically:

• Uranus in the Tropical chart is located in the 2nd house (finances), heralding sudden financial disruptions.
• Tropical Mars is placed in the 3rd house (disputes, tension, verbal aggression).
• Sidereal Mars shifts into the 2nd Tropical house, clearly showing aggressive demands and words (Mars) that directly target his pocket and his finances (2nd house).

The most impressive part, however, is that Sidereal Mars is in conjunction with Tropical Pluto, once again inside the 2nd house!
Mars in Libra—the sign of its detriment—by definition shows problems, litigation, and intense conflicts (Mars) within relationships and partnerships (Libra). Because Mars in this position has Venus as its dispositor, these tensions can also be directly linked to female figures (Venus).

Do you see how beautifully astrology unfolds events? This case clearly involves a deep financial matter and raw extortion (Pluto). In fact, with such dynamics, it is certain that even more evidence will come to light along the way; this case is not going to close just like that.

There are certainly many more details we could analyze in these charts, but my primary goal was to focus on the amazing tool of ascendant degrees. As we saw both here and in Kimber's case, ascendant degrees reveal to us with absolute precision the houses that are being activated at any given moment.
