Charismatic by nature (Moon exalted in 7th-house Taurus), Vladimir Putin has used his fierce and twisted power-mongering combination of Scorpio rising followed by Mars in second-house Sagittarius to manifest his materialistic opportunism (11th-house Sun along with Saturn in Virgo). The easy wealth and luck he has gotten by burning his enemies (2nd-house ruler Jupiter in Aries the 6th) is looking toward its end, as his Saturn cycle has recently ended. Next major planetary phase ruler 8th and 11th lord Mercury is sitting in the 11th house, which may mean shorter-term success and gains through “darker” ventures, but losses and reversal of fortune could be sudden as Mercury sits early in 12th sign of loss and closure, in Libra where the scales of justice will not be held off. How long until his fall is a little difficult to pinpoint exactly, but could even take more than a few years.
Meanwhile, Ukraine will not be defeated. Major planetary cycle Jupiter dominates the scene and will retain its brilliant Leo self-exertion as it grows further into its own individual sovereignty by weathering Putin’s storm.
