Russia's Near Future Through Planetary Transits


Since my last country post, I have switched to the Whole Sing house system, which is used in the Vedic and Traditional Western astrological systems. 

This is a chart of the Russian Federation (RF) with current transits. I have calculated the chart of RF to the declaration of sovereignty of the latter in 1990. I believe this is the correct timing of the origins of the RF, as this is the time when the current regime in Russia gains power. That is, Yeltsin becomes the president. Putin sees himself as the continuator of Yeltsin's legacy. Therefore, we can trace a direct connection to this moment.

Based on this chart, I see two major events, I see first of all a Saturn return in the Fourth House. And I see the slow transit of Pluto across the Fourth House. This combo should have a transformative effect on the opposition in Russia. It remains to be seen how it will play out. There is also Jupiter passing through the Fourth House.

Saturn is a harsh teacher, and the Russian opposition will likely suffer a harsh lesson. Nevertheless, Pluto will likely cleanse the opposition of unneeded elements. Pluto and Saturn together always signify a reaction. Whether that means a reaction of the Russian public to the powers that be, or the reaction of the powers that be to the people demanding reform, remains to be seen. 

The Saturn-Pluto aspects always coincide with environmental protests. In Russia those take the form of protests against the building churches in parks, creating new landfills, and protests against nuclear waste processing. These protest also meet with hard reaction from the authorities. 

Pluto is on the cusp of Capricorn, and about to ingress into the Fifth House, where it shall remain for over a decade. The Fifth House governs entertainment, it is where Russia's Luna is. Likely, Russia's infotainment is up for a slow burning transformation. There may even be a bit of a crisis at first, in the coming year as Saturn makes way into Capricorn. The ruler of the Fifth House here is Saturn, hence the planet will feel at home. The ingress of Jupiter should however kickstart the transition in the fullest within few months.

The Fifth House also governs children, hence natality could transform, with the help of the state perhaps. Taxes may increase, or suffer restructuring. The Fifth House also governs general wellbeing, the transit of mostly Malefic planets warns that the next few years, public's discontent may be an issue. 

The Jupiter-Saturn cycle has long played a major role in Russian and Soviet History. The Soviet Union has the Hammer and Sickle as its symbol. Its esoteric meaning is the hammer of Thor, who was associated with Jupiter by the Romans, and the sickle of Saturn. It was coincidentally crafted during the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction which marked the assumption of power by the Soviets.

Vladimir Putin came to power during a Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, whereas in the chart above you can see the Jupiter Saturn opposition. The cycle is closing, soon Jupiter and Saturn will meet again, and a new trend in global history will begin. Putin may survive the transition but how long will he hold power remains to be seen? For this I would have to consult his natal horoscope, which I am not going to do in this post.
