Ukraine on fire

Screen Shot 2014-01-23 at 22.45.56BBC: Ukraine protests spread beyond Kiev amid crisis talks

   When I first learned that Ukraine signed an agreement with Russia and gave up cooperation with the EU, I wasn’t thinking that events will catch fire like this. I would not think this if I had turned on my computer to look up Ukraine‘s chart .

    Ukraine independent on 1 Dec 1991 6:00PM , National chart has Sagittarius Sun and Libra Moon , Leo Ascendant and Aries Mc. I still remember during the East European revolutions, Uranus and Neptune was conjunct on mid Capricorn that means that most EX USSR member countries are going to face Tr Uranus square Na Uranus and Tr Pluto conjunct Na Uranus.  We can understand these countries will face more challenges than other countries during late Ur-Pl square, but why Ukraine ?

 

Ukraine  Transit on 1 Jan 2014

Transit

From Transit we already have a clue as to why the Ukrainian government faces more challenges than others,  Uranus is on 9 degrees Aries at this moment, right above Ukraine’s Mc which signifies government and Transiting Mars pass by Ic and Ic ruler which represents the opposition parties and conjunct the Natal Moon which represents the people. Transit Saturn also right on Pluto the planet represents collective fear and anxiety, struggle and survival. Some astrologers see the Saturn-Pluto combination as most challenging in our life.

Solar Arc

If we examine the Solar Arc chart we will see SA Chiron square Na Mars, SA Saturn square Na Pluto (again) and, most important, SA Uranus just passed Descendent. I don’t think this is a place to sleep quietly during the night if there are both Transit Uranus and Solar Arc Uranus right on the chart angles, well maybe only if this country have exciting samba parties everyday.

ViKtor Yanukovych

According Astrodatabank, Mr Yanukovych was born on 9 Jul 1950 12:15 . Libra ascendent conjunct with Mars Neptune in 1st house. Sun conjunct Mercury on Mc 12 Cancer ( I can smell something here… ) Uranus also near Mc on 5 degree Cancer.

Yanukovych & SE NOV 2014

Yes, we should be very sensitive with Cardinal planets on his natal chart this moment. Again like the country he serves, he picks up the most dynamic Cardinal Grand cross of 2014. Uranus on his descendent and Pluto on Ic. With Jupiter near the Mc conjunct his Sun which explains why he and his government want to expand their power and think that no one can stop them. Jupiter usually gives us confidence.

The recent Ur-90-Pl also pick up his Asc axis and Ma/Ur Ur/Mc midpoint. The Solar Eclipse on 3 Nov 2013 occurred on 11 degree of Scorpio opposite Yanukovych’s Moon on 11 degrees of Taurus . In this chart there is also Mars Chiron opposition trigger Saturn Jupiter opposition on his chart.

Between country and leader 

I remember once Liz Greene telling us that it is the country that picks its servants according to the country’s chart and transit. People of this country will also choose the president who fits into the challenge which the county is going to face. When a country needs radical change they will pick a president who has Uranus connection with country.

Ukraine and Yanukovych

Yanukovych has his Uranus right on Ukraine‘s nodal axis. His Mc Sun Mercury opposite Ukraine’s Uranus and Neptune. His Mars Neptune conjunct Ukraine ‘s Moon, this suggests he can really stir up people’s emotions and anger. He has a strong Uranus-Pluto transit, as has the country. Ukraine needs Yanukovych to be there when it is going to face a radical change.  He could be there to lead the change.  He could also be there to cause this radical change.

 

Astromap

I always use Astromap with Eclipse chart. On the Solar Eclipse on 3 Nov 2013 ‘s ACG chart we can see the Mars Ds line was 80 miles away from Kiev and Mars Pluto paran was only 25 miles away.

Interestingly if we lookup on Yanukovych’s astromap we can see again, Uranus Mc right on Kiev , LS Pluto line right on Kiev too , LS Sun and LS Mercury line pass by Moscow suggesting good communications and LS Pluto goes west passing exactly by Warsaw and Berlin and LS Saturn passes by Paris, I can guess how much he will like the message from this 3 countries compare with Moscow?

Yanukovych's Astromap , LS So Me pass by Moscow, LS PL SA go to EU. Uranus right on Kiev

As we know, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto will form a grand cross again around March-April 2014. This means the grand cross we just have on New Year 2014 is more like a trial. This also suggests the fight between the Government and the People will not stop easily.  if the Ukraine people still feel the need of Uranian change in this country, by that time the upheaval of grand cross will be much much stronger.
