In the analysis of Vladimir Putin’s birth chart, one significant aspect stands out: his South Node is conjunct Pluto. While the Nodes themselves don’t possess energy like the planets, they hold vital information about one’s past and future. Understanding them can provide valuable insights.
Imagine the South Nodes as the suitcase with which you arrived in life. Exploring its contents: the house, sign, and aspects, reveals your natural, instinctive traits, characteristics, and habitual patterns. These ingrained patterns form the foundation of your being, shaping the way you naturally operate and fall back on.
The South Node symbolizes the past, reflecting the developments and focuses of past lives. For those who don’t subscribe to the concept of reincarnation, it could represent inherited traits from previous generations. Personally, I believe it’s a combination of both. While the South Node may provide comfort and familiarity, it also represents stagnation and a lack of growth.
Now, shifting our attention back to Putin, we see that Pluto conjuncts his South Node in Leo, forming a trine with his Mars. This alignment indicates his instinctive understanding of power, his ability to gain authority, and a deep-seated desire for control. We can observe that Putin has gained power and authority through fear and ruthlessness, utilizing the energy of Pluto for his personal gains. However, as an outer planet, Pluto’s energy cannot be solely exploited for personal benefit. Consequently, his abuse of power will lead to his downfall.
It appears that Putin has held positions of authority in past lives, or his family heritage is fueled with potent ambition. Likely, it’s a combination of both. Trines in the birth chart reflect our innate resources, naturally honed abilities, and talents developed over previous lifetimes. The trine between Mars and Pluto suggests that Putin effectively utilizes self-will and assertiveness to achieve his goals and reach an ultimate position of power. This approach has undoubtedly worked for him in his ascent to become the head of Russia. However, with power going to his head, it will ultimately be his undoing. It’s important to note that he is working from established and fixed patterns.
Let’s now consider the North Node, which symbolizes future growth. It exerts a magnetic force that draws us closer to it through circumstances or the influence of others. Since we lack accurate information on Putin’s time of birth, we can’t determine the exact house placement of his North Node — a crucial component for analysis. However, we can confidently state that his North Node is in Aquarius. He had the potential to use his power for the betterment of humanity. Instead, he could have viewed Aquarius as his community, his country, and surrounded himself with like-minded individuals. Unfortunately, he has veered off this path and is currently causing destruction. Hopefully, his actions will eventually lead to more equality in Russia, eradicating the corrupt power held by the elite.
Bringing Saturn into the picture, we see a reality check. Saturn opposes Putin’s North Node, standing against his power and might. The world is united in opposition to his misguided actions. This opposition also activates a square aspect to Jupiter in Taurus, affecting his resources in various ways. Saturn has also triggered strong trine aspects to the Sun, Saturn, Mercury, and Neptune. This may have instilled in him the confidence and belief that justifies his quest to bring Ukraine under Russian rule. To some extent, he has succeeded, as he holds the world at bay with his nuclear threats.
However, with Saturn conjuncting his North Node and opposing his Pluto, it is only a matter of time before he falls from grace. In the meantime, how many lives will he destroy with his delusional need for control and power?
To further analyze Putin’s situation, we must consider the transiting Pluto, which is currently forming a semi-sextile with Mars, creating a blue triangle with his natal Pluto. The focal planets of this alignment are Mercury and Neptune, potentially explaining the source of his madness. The combination of imagination and psychic ability provided by Neptune and Mercury can also lead to illusion, confusion, and instability, especially when driven by a thirst for control and power, as reflected in Mars and Pluto. It’s clear that Putin has lost his way.
The beginning of the end for Putin has arrived, but how far will he go before his Karma catches up with him? Let us all hope and pray that justice is swift.
