Putin's War Turns One as His October New Moon Approaches

The Dark-of-the-Moon Phase When Things Go Bump in the Night

by Jude Cowell

Please note: With the accuracy of Putin's birth data being suspect, the following progressions may be off by a few days or months. This is often the case with the dates of progressions but doesn't change the fact that progressed lunations do occur. Original post begins here:

On February 25, 2022, the day after Putin invaded Ukraine and began his war of brutality, he had Russian troops recklessly take over the Chernobyl Reactor. Now the one-year anniversary of Putin's war arrives this Friday and bad vlad has been hinting once again at the use of nuclear weapons in a bid to force his authoritarian way and add Ukraine to Russian territory. No such thing as 'Ukraine,' he stubbornly asserts.

Well, in the following Secondary New Moon ('SP') Horoscope which issues from his natal horoscope shown, lower left (but with only speculative birth data so it's rated DD for dirty data), we find a man now enmeshed within a Moon-Pluto = ASC midpoint influence of 'inner ideals vs reality' and I suspect that reality is on the losing end with bad vlad, determined to have his way no matter how many people have to die. You'll note that two other SP midpoints conjunct his SP Ascendant, and are highlighted on the chart.

For example: SP Saturn-Neptune = ASC which is conjoined by transit South Node (see upper right) @24Lib52: 'use of drugs'? Perhaps Putin is more isolated and acting alone than we know since the South Node suggests neurotic behavior but also separation and a potential for unpopularity. Plus, there've been assertions of illness of some kind which is born out in the chart with Saturn-Neptune the 'illness axis' (R. Ebertin). It's even possible that his resolve may have weakened (SP Sun-Pluto = Neptune) as impediments have caused him much more trouble than expected (this war is not his dream of a three-day take-over after all!).

Yet we should add to this, that his SP planets hint that the Russian dictator may feel it's his 'destiny to enjoy reckless activities' (SP Venus-Mars = SP North Node) along with SP New Moon @25Sag05 perfecting upon his natal Mars, warrior planet of aggression, violence, and martial arts. As a midpoint picture, we find Sun-Moon = Mars: 'the urge to bring to fruition ideals and wishes (R. Ebertin).

But you know what 'they' say: If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

So! Below is a dual image with Putin's generally accepted natal horoscope (lower left) along with his Secondary Progressed New Moon Horoscope of October 30, 2023 (upper right). Not shown is a transit chart for the exact date, hour, and place of his SP New Moon but I can tell you that the day's transit Moon @2Gem43 is a significant timing device in relation to our topic for its rounded-up Sabian Symbol = "The Garden of the Tuileries", a reference to the brutal violence of the French Revolution; plus, the critical degree of "3 Gemini" also suggests nuclear potential which is how we began this post with the 1986 Chernobyl Meltdown and Putin's reckless February 25, 2022 take-over of the dangerous site:

NATO Horoscope: Sweden and Finland may join NATO

April 14, 2022

Image: NATO (inner) surrounded by the 6 South Solar Eclipse of October 25, 2022 (outer) with themes of 'sudden events' and 'being forceful, taking control' (B. Brady); in the previous Nazi era, a 6 South Eclipse occurred on August 31, 1932 @8Virgo (pre-conjunct NATO's Moon-Saturn duo since NATO wasn't signed into law by President Truman until August 24, 1949), and of course NATO was formed for the purpose of protecting member nations against Russia's (USSR's) territorial aggression, so here we go again:

Perhaps you've seen the brief Morning Joe discussion concerning Sweden and Finland's possible joining of NATO citing changes in Europe's "security landscape." That would be because of Putin's territorial aggression against Ukraine, what Vlad and his comrades at the Kremlin refuse to call "war." It's only natural that many folks believe that further expansion plans are on (pipsqueak!) Putin's 'make USSR great again' agenda.

Meanwhile, readers may remember that previously we discussed the Republic of Finland on the occasion of D. Trump's humiliating meeting with V. Putin on July 16, 2018 (Finland horoscope shown: Campion #104, partial details, below). Notably, Finland's Midheaven @27Cap40 and Venus @00AQ58 are now transited by powerful Pluto in late Capricorn, a karmic condition long-time coming, and with America's natal Pluto (27Cap33) in tow. Then perhaps symbolically, Finland's 1917 Mercury-North-Node conjunction @1-2Capricorn, with Mercury out of bounds of the earthly plane, will come in to the earthly fold with the North Node of the Moon known in Western Astrology as a joining or meeting point of destiny and future direction!

Then Sweden's Constitution horoscope of December 7, 1865 (Campion #318) shows a prominent placement of Pluto @12Tau40 in 11th house now activated by transiting Uranus in Taurus while Sweden's Saturn @8Sco00 (6th house) has recently been opposed by transit Uranus. These cosmic contacts suggest uncontrollable events challenging established traditions and methods (flexibility required) while the Uranus-to-Pluto contact describes circumstances that make abrupt changes necessary due to increased levels of anxiety - paranoia which may include nuclear issues, or simply Uranus-Pluto upheavals and upsets within the community; a 'new order' is suggested by this planetary pair.

Partial Horoscope Details:

Finland (December 6, 1917 3:00 pm -1:39:52 Helsinki) ASC 18Gem19; MC 27Cap40; Sun 13Sag52 6th house; Moon 13Vir28 5th house widely conjunct Mars 17Vir07; Mercury 1Cap14 7th house.

Sweden (December 7, 1865 15:30 LMT Stockholm) ASC 26Gem05 with Uranus Rx 2Can33 rising; MC 6AQ28; Sun 15Sag33 6th house conjunct Mars 7Sag42; Moon 17Leo55 4th house.; Mercury 6Cap20 conjunct Jupiter 4Cap42 7th house.

How China Can & Will Use NAFTA Against America - Thom Hartmann

March 15, 2022

Here is a brief Thom Hartmann segment from about two weeks ago in which Thom discusses with a caller America's "biggest foreign blunder," NAFTA, and the harm that China can do to our country and the world, especially now that China is said to be in favor of Putin's aggressive invasion of Ukraine:

And for astrologers who can use the information, here's an excerpt from a previous post:

"Chart data from Campion's The Book of World Horoscopes (#ad) which gives its own sources: NAFTA took effect January 1, 1994 at 12:00 am est Washington DC." Set up the horoscope (ASC 6Lib57; MC 7Can54, 6 planets in Saturn-ruled Capricorn) and you'll find an Earth-Fire blend of Sun Capricorn-Moon Leo which happens to be shared natally by China's revolutionary leader Chairman Mao Zedong.

This combination of conscious (Sun) and unconscious (Moon) energies denotes the dictatorial leanings of a volcanic temperament, plus, visionary ability, and the utilization of dogmatism (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, The Harveys #ad).

Feb 2022: Putin Takes Over the Chernobyl Reactor

Very few if any people are behind Vladimir Putin for sending soldiers into Ukraine on February 24, 2022 with a mission to - unbeknowst to the troops until they arrived there - kill their cousins. As part of mobster Putin's illegal war efforts, it has been reported that Russian troops have grabbed control of the non-operative Chernobyl reactor and this has caused a spike of radioactivity. See Radiation Spike at Chernobyl Site Seized by Russia for details.

Yet the accuracy of various news reports concerning this deranged nuclear situation will be difficult to sort out from false reports over the next days, weeks, months, but accuracy does appear in the dual horoscope image of the original Chernobyl Meltdown (upper right; April 26, 1986 1:23 am BADT; ASC 22Sag49 with accident-prone Uranus rising) and a Horoscope of the 6 North Solar Eclipse which perfected on April 9, 1986 @19Ari06 (lower left), its thematic energies running in the background of society as the Chernobyl reactor melted down. 6 North themes are listed below the image:

6 North themes: 'relationship to authority figures; the need to take responsibility and control; commitments are presented due to someone becoming unreliable or ill' (paraphrasing B. Brady's Predictive Astrology #ad).

Now let's fast forward to 2022 in relation to Putin's ill-considered war against Ukraine (which has something like 15 other nuclear reactors around the country). A cosmic echo of historical events may be heard by sensitive ears because a 6 North Eclipse manifests once again on April 30, 2022 @10Taurus. If this suggests that similar events of 1986 may be 'spiked' by the repetition of 6 North themes in April 2022 and over the next few months, then unfortunately, this may be so. However, we should note that (KGB) Putin didn't take over Russia until May 2000.

Yet consideration must be given to the fact that as a cosmic blink from above, an eclipse is able to disrupt earthly events and cause changes of direction, as we know. And as a Universal wild card, an eclipse can have shocking effects similar to those of planet Uranus (with its link to Uranium), and with sudden accidents being one of the more prominent expressions, for as we see in the Meltdown Horoscope, unpredictable Uranus rises - and is also apex planet of the 'death axis' pair of Mars-Saturn, thus forming a midpoint picture which reveals potentials that we know were expressed: 'death; sudden accidents; a test of nervous strength; application of brute force' (R. Ebertin).

History Rhymes while Eclipses Repeat

Then if we look for guidance at past occurrences of 6 North solar eclipses (in order to be forewarned), we find that 6 North is the prenatal eclipse series ('PE') in which World War One began (horoscope shown) by a purposeful act of aggression, as is Putin's war against Ukraine. That Chernobyl radioactivity can threaten Europe and the world probably doesn't ruffle Putin's feathers in the least. For like his useful idiot Tr*mp, malevolent Vlad seems to be mad at the world.

Subsequently, we might also include the fact that a 6N eclipse manifested during the troubling times of the 1930s - specifically on March 7, 1932 @17Pisces. As it happened, the next solar eclipse to occur was in the 6 South Saros Series as what I have regretfully termed the Nazis Rise to Power Eclipse, termed as such due to historical events and conditions of the era. Curiously, Putin has cited Nazis in Ukraine as one of his justifications for aggression but from what I hear that's only a limited number of people with that persuasion. Tragically, America has them, too, they control most members of the GOP, and have infiltrated the US military and joined many if not all of US police forces.

So let us face the fact, dear reader, that evil, destructive forces have risen again and are precisely what the world now struggles against - and at this very moment, Ukraine and Russia are 'on the front lines' as authoritarianism brazenly attacks democracy.
