Reagan's 90th Solar Return
Ronald Reagan is two years older than the Internal Revenue Service and 24 years older than The Social Security Administration. Reagan, at age 90, has experienced 7 1/2 Jupiter returns, 4 Saturn returns and his Uranus Return.
Reagan's natal Pluto (26 ° Gemini) is in line to take the opposition from T-Pluto, 3 "hits" from T-Mars in 2001, and the conjunction of T-Saturn (0 ° Gemini, as of 4/21/01) over the next 16 to 18 months.
January 9th's Lunar Eclipse (Moon 19 Cancer) conjoined his natal Neptune in his 8th house while Eclipse Sun conjoined his natal Mercury in his second house. The eclipse most likely "eclipsed" Reagan's ability to maintain sure footing, a problem made more difficult by the disorientation suffered by Alzheimer's patients. As a result, he suffered a fall and fractured his hip soon after the eclipse. He was operated upon at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California.
Transiting Pluto (14 ° Sag., the sign associated with the hips) was in quincunx to his 6th house (health) North Node: 14 Taurus (the degree of the Ascendant for Inauguration 2001). As planets moved in line for Dubya's Inauguration, Reagan's third house (media) took the brunt. News of his fall quickly made headlines.
During this same time period, the transiting Sun conjoined Reagan's Uranus (breaking) in Capricorn (Saturn ruler: bones) then reached 0° Aquarius. This degree squares Reagan's natal Saturn at 0° Taurus. Transiting Venus in Pisces, moving through Reagan's 4th house at that time, trined his "angel on your shoulder" Jupiter in his 12th house (hospitalization). The trine between the two benefics may be what explains Reagan's phenomenal (and unexpected) recovery.
