Volodymyr Zelenskyy, passing through London, says he believes the Russian invasion is slowly turning in Ukraine’s favor. “We cannot say that Russia is losing this war, but we can say that they are losing the initiative.”
Ukrainian drones have been paralyzing vital supply lines in Crimea, attacking St. Petersburg and setting fire to oil terminals, causing severe fuel shortages in certain areas. On the eastern battlefield, Russia’s advance has almost stopped, losing more than 30,000 soldiers a month. Although it has not stopped Russia from counterattacking and using cluster munitions in built-up areas within Ukraine.
But Putin is also losing allies with Orban’s defeat in Hungary and the failure of pro-Kremlin candidates in Moldova and Armenia; They are isolated in Europe and increasingly in the United States. And the Russian economy is in trouble.
If we look at the chart of the Invasion Declaration on February 23, 2022 at 9:00 PM Moscow time, it is not entirely clear when the end point will be. It began in a ruthless conjunction between Mars and Pluto that won’t close with the Solar Arc until mid-2027, which seems eerily far away. Although this year Uranus will oppose the Moon and square the Sun starting in June, until mid-2027, which may begin to alter Putin’s best-laid plans.
Zelensky Term Chart, May 20, 2019 10 am kyiv looks very unstable this year and into 2027 with Pluto square Uranus and Venus; with a debilitating tr Neptune square Mars from late September to early November this year.
Your own personal chart has Pluto conjunct your Sun, Venus, which will be pressured, challenging and emotionally intense now through 2027. Your Progressed Moon has another 18 months to go through its occult 12.th house and it will be New Year’s in 2028 before it emerges in its 1street for a new beginning.
Neither Ukraine’s 1918 nor 1991 charts are illuminating, and even after hostilities end, as they must at some point, there will remain extreme dislike between the two countries.
I was wondering if the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan might yield some astrological advice. The Soviet Afghan War began on December 25, 1979 and the withdrawal was completed on February 15, 1989 with a teeth-gnashing opposition to Mars, Pluto. At that time, Uranus was conjunct the Sun that started the war, with Neptune and Saturn conjunct the Sun of the Solar Arc. Tr Uranus was conjunct the Midheaven of the Solar Arc; and the Solar Arc Neptune was at 10th when failure became evident. So relatively clear.
The US Afghan War began on October 7, 2011 and ended with withdrawal on August 30, 2021. In the end, Saturn conjunct the Solar Arc, Mars, which was conjunct the onset of Neptune, for a resounding failure. Tr Neptune was conjunct the Midheaven of the Solar Arc. Again of course.
On the Ukraine invasion map, Uranus squares the early Sun this year, which could be a hopeful indicator; but if not, it could be the end of the decade before Neptune squares the Moscow midheaven. However, moving the Declaration card to kyiv places a 3 degree Cancer Midheaven that Neptune squares this year. Therefore, there may be glimmers of hope for an earlier cessation.
