Melania Trump is the 'only one' to stand up to Ivanka says expert
Melania Trump and Donald Trump are set to travel to the UK next week on a state visit. According to US reports, it may be that the US President and First Lady are joined by some of Donald’s adult children - such as Ivanka Trump. Ivanka is an adviser to the President, as is her husband Jared Kushner. While not everyone will take notice of their star signs, astrology may share some insight into the family dynamics.
Melania Trump is a Taurus, while Ivanka Trump is a Scorpio
Ivanka, age 37, was born on October 30, 1981.
She is the eldest daughter of Donald Trump and the only daughter of Ivana Trump.
Her date of birth means that she is classed as a Scorpio.
Ivanka’s step-mum, Melania, 49, was born 11 years earlier, on April 26 in 1970.
This makes her a Taurus.
What do the Zodiac signs of the pair reveal?
The website Astrobix.com has analysed the friendship compatibility for a Taurus and Scorpio.
“A friendship between a Taurus and a Scorpio involves a relationship between two signs that lie opposite each other in the Zodiac,” the publication states.
“Star signs with polarity such as these complement each other well.”
Another insight into the two star signs suggests that the individuals “love to collaborate with each other to make their mark in life”.
The analysis continued: “Taurus and Scorpio should always communicate to each other and keep things at a balance.”
Astrologist Francesca Oddie told Express.co.uk: "Taurus and Scorpio in relationship are usually a great combination. Scorpio is always reading between the lines and seeks out stable and reliable friends, Taurus is generally considered to be very stable and loyal and the two are drawn to each other’s capacity for commitment.
"Looking at the charts overall there are a few Mars aspects to each other moon sign. This can mean a few things and is an 'energising' interaction that could create emotional friction but also they can inspire each other into action."
Melania returned to the White House yesterday with Donald, following their four-day trip to Japan.
It came as the total spend on the First Lady’s wardrobe for the visit was revealed.
The cost came in in the thousands - with her designer items totting up to around £15,200.
The spokesperson for Melania has previously spoken out about who foots the bill for her outfits.
