Another aspect from Putin's birth chart that stands out is his Saturn sq his Uranus. His Saturn is in Libra with his Sun (consciousness/Purpose) making him stern and mature, serious and structured although in Libra is gracious, charming and diplomatic but the connection to his Uranus in Cancer in the 9th house of foreign matters brings a rebellion to his consciousness from deep within, needing to find a balance between stability, structure and tradition vs rebellion, revolution, innovation and rebuilding the stability thru a modern/futuristic alternative foundation. It does seem that with these aspects Putin's karma does indeed involve reforming the public thru his alternative perspective but does not come easy or without revolution and major forced transformation. That's on a personal emotional level too which is driving him but this aspect can also play out with others forcing their will on him as well. Uranus can be unexpected events that threatens Putin's authority and stability all through his life when triggered by progressions or transits which i'm sure he has already experienced through the years. The Uranus square can take the form of others challenging him plus being in the 9th house of foreign places most likely represents war and conflict from nations challenging his authority if he tries to exert too much power and control over others.
That's right - astrologically, it looks like Putin is destined for war with the world, more specifically a direct conflict with the United Sates. That's because the Sun sign of the United States is at 13 degrees Cancer which perfectly squares Vladimir Putin's Sun at 13 degrees Libra from Putin's 9th house of foreign places where his revolutionary Uranus resides. So looks like the U.S. will challenge his authority at some point (vice versa) in a much more serious way then what we have seen taking place recently. A "square" aspect is a high amount of stress and tension that forces action to resolve the conflict. You can't just let a square aspect be, it will indeed force the action as two different energies that don't mix with eachother are competing for attention and recognition but the trick to settle a square is to own and respect both sides, integrating the energies as one. In this case - Libra and Cancer which have a long history of creating turbulence with eachother but also have a high potential of integration once both sides are accepted and honored as relevant. (U.S. & Putin/Russia)...but...as, one?
So let me look at Putin's transits to see the possible timing of all this and what energy Putin is being effected by right now that will influence his decision making. Oh wow! This looks serious. The inside wheel is Putin's birth chart and the outside wheel is the energies in his life right now coming from outside sources. When a planet has transit thru a house it activates that area of life for him along with any connections the transit planet makes to his natal planets in other houses. The first thing that catches my attention is the location of transit Mars and Saturn in Scorpio. Right now transit Mars has perfect T-square aspect to Putin's karmic nodes of fate! A T-square is just like a normal square but double the stress and tension although in three different areas of life. This perfect fated alignment will be truly exact at 5am Friday Aug 29 California time but those precise minutes mean little as the energy is in full blown affect right now however don't be surprised to see new developments by this weekend. Transit Mars with square to this karmic axis means direct actions right now that is effecting his karmic future and most likely is reflected by the latest allegations of his invasion into Ukraine. Regardless if true or not (the invasion), immanent conflict is likely for Mr Putin starting now or very soon, being instigated by him or others. At the same time transit North and South Nodes of the Moon (the universal karmic axis) has perfect "trine" aspect to his natal nodes of fate reinforcing that destiny is playing a role in his life right now influencing his decisions. The trine aspect makes the energy easy to integrate, regardless if positive or negative which forces him to take action. At the same time Mars is opposing Putin's Jupiter which is actually creating one big Grand-square and so others are going to challenge his beliefs and expansion of empire, resources and stability of strength (Jupiter in Taurus 7th house). As transit Mars moves forward it will also square Putin's MC and Pluto which will definitely be some big events at that time which will take place around Sunday Aug 31 and again around Sep 3 2014. Major conflict in Putin's life should be playing out now thru then at the very least but that will just be the first phase and transit Saturn will also follow in the path of Mars and square those points as well bringing major restriction to Putin's Power and Control as transit Saturn represents external authority and establishment applying its will (or trying to) on Putin's public career point and personal power of Pluto which can even take the form of life and death circumstances as the planet of Karma makes direct hard aspect with Putin's destiny axis and Pluto (death, power, control, transformation).
I should also mention that the earth experienced a rare Grand-Cross aspect back in the spring (tho strong all year) at the cardinal degrees of 13 which is both the degree of the U.S. Sun sign and Putin's Sun sign adding more than normal pressures and stress to act on destiny so the events happening were pushed into action back then and are now coming into the spotlight which was all destiny at play regardless how this all turns out; no doubt is all very karmic and meant to be, good or bad.
Transit Pluto and Uranus have been directly aspecting Putin's consciousness in a very rare and dramatic way forcing this man to change on every level and accept his fate which is obviously connected to his world ambitions of rebuilding Russia into a great state and world power regardless if he succeeds or not the universe his forcing him to act right now; it's karma and he is under extreme pressure to do so regardless if he truly thinks he can succeed or not. Uranus is opposing his Sun making him very unpredictable, rebellious and revolutionary with surprise unexpected events possible. At the same time others can oppose him with that very energy as Uranus will make two more exact passes on Oct 22 2014 and again around Feb 17 2015 bringing a finalization to whatever was initiated in the spring of 2014 with the fated Grand-Cross. However now thru next spring looks very challenging as Pluto will make one last square aspect with Putin's Sun around Jan 22 & Jan 23 2016 bringing a huge final transformation to Putin's life purpose and consciousness, even possibly death or a fall from grace around that time, thru the spring of 2015. If Putin does somehow manage to complete is expansion objectives it will have been extremely challenging and won't come easy and from my perspective seems unlikely that he will succeed in his long term goals. No matter how this turns out, transit North Node of fate will conjoin Putin's Sun next year early January and his main purpose in life and destiny will become clear which again, to me, looks like a public fall from grace even public death that is all very much karmic. All the decisions he made thru life was leading him to this time regardless how others perceive him or his actions his soul knows this was what he was meant to do because the karmic ripple on the world has long lasting affects that can change the world good or bad, that we cannot fully comprehend right now but is karmic and fated even if he were to harm humanity in someway, Putin is just following internal will and purpose.
If for some reason Mr Putin reads this, which is plausible considering my Libra Mercury of public communications is right on his Sun sign then just let me say, I'm sorry for the bad news but don't let that stop you - do what you feel is right but i can promise you that without full integrity and impeccability you will fail in a leadership role. Astrology has proven this over and over with people that were born when Pluto was conjunct the Midheaven (MC) of the birth chart. You have the power to bring transformation to the world, "good" or "bad" but eventually means you will pay a high price for it, even premature death is possible so i would watch your back because Mars is the knife and in Scorpio means covert hidden action that will sting you from within/behind as Mars conflict is going to be directed right to you,which you might not see coming... unless you are reading my report of course :-) If you are reading this, just know you better not trust anyone right now, even your own guys! Okay, that's all the tips i'm giving you though...
My conclusion is Putin's destiny is now underway and cannot be stopped although his destiny might be, to be stopped. I would expect extreme life/ Russian events to be playing out now thru the fall into the new year and yes, Putin's destiny is indeed to challenge and rebel against the west and the U.S that leads to his demise. These events are without a doubt in my mind, karmic and will help the world change thru ripple effects even if we can't comprehend the positive of it all.
I hope you found this interesting, it's just a fraction of the information i could say about all this but i'm not trying to write a book here so i'll leave it at this. Email me if you would like personal information on your own astrology.
Thank you!
