Civil War: Musk vs Trump
Two days ago, on Wednesday, we had a triple Snake day (year, month, and day), and wow, the energy did not disappoint.
The day played out like a live drama series: Trump and Musk, once the ultimate bromance duo, are now publicly butting heads. Things were already cooling down between them, but it all escalated when Musk decided to challenge the “Big Beautiful Bill” and the Republicans’ bold move to increase the deficit by $5 trillion.
Trump, never one to stay silent, fired back with a few classic jabs. Elon didn’t take that lightly — he responded with a flurry of tweets, going full-frontal against his former political ally. It was a clear break-up, played out in real time, and the timing couldn’t be more astrologically symbolic.
Let’s zoom in on Musk’s BaZi chart.
He was born in a Pig year, which brings Water — a key Resource component for him. In BaZi, Resources fuel intelligence, planning, and support systems — all crucial for someone like Elon, who’s heavily tied to government programs, subsidies, and cutting-edge tech funded in part by public money (think Tesla, SpaceX, and yes, even DOGE in its quirky way).
But here’s where it gets interesting: the Snake and Pig are natural opposites, a classic clash. And yesterday we didn’t just have a Snake year — we had a triple Snake, with a possible fourth one appearing during the 9–11 am window (Snake hour), roughly when the drama ignited online.
2025 hasn’t been easy for Musk. His push to reduce government spending stirred up serious political backlash, and the Snake’s Fire energy clashed directly with his Pig Water base, putting his Resource network under financial and political pressure.
Snake also represents Fire, which is Elon’s Output element. He’s already got strong Fire in his chart (he’s born in Horse month, after all), so this triple Snake basically supercharged his urge to speak out. And that’s exactly what happened: he snapped, went public, and practically severed ties with Trump and his administration.
It’s a textbook Output explosion — the kind that happens when someone with strong ideas and a hot chart decides they’ve had enough and lets it all out. From a BaZi point of view, the stars lined up for this clash, and Musk walked straight into the fire — but on his own terms.
We’ll see how this plays out in the following days, but one thing is clear: the Snake came to burn bridges, and Elon didn’t hesitate to light the match.
