“Operation Spider’s Web”, a drone attack planned and executed by Ukraine has wreaked considerable damage at two of Russia’s most major airfields. The two remote military airfields are key to Russia’s nuclear strike capability and were considered untouchable.
The operation took eighteen months to organise and was personally overseen by Zelensky, with drones being smuggled into Russia. The attack happened around 2pm Kiev time which puts Jupiter conjunct the Midheaven; the Leo Moon conjunct Mars; and perhaps most significantly Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries – which last sits midway between a Uranus Algol trine Pluto. Successful, daring, showy – and a hint of the new era.
The Russia 8 December 1991 7.45pm chart has a 3 degree Saturn in Aquarius which is catching the tr Pluto conjunction exactly now – and on and off till late 2026, which hints at tough conditions and an uphill struggle. Putin’s initial Presidency chart, 31 December 1999, which is the start of his reign, has Neptune at 3 degrees Aquarius which reflects this attack as completely devastating – which influence continues on till late 2026. This chart hints at 2026 as a year when his grip on power could be overthrown with a Solar Arc square the Pluto. His 5th term chart, 7 May 2024, also shows 2026 as a year of failure and setbacks.
Russia is, of course, sensitive to Saturn Neptune conjunctions with the 1917 Revolution happening with Neptune Saturn at 7 and 14 Leo; and Stalin’s death in 1953 with Saturn Neptune conjunct in the last decan of Libra.
The Russia 8 November 1917 chart has tr Uranus square the late Leo Moon now; and emotionally downbeat tr Saturn Neptune square Venus now and into 2026; and an insecure tr Uranus square Mars in 2026 along with a devastating tr Neptune Saturn square Pluto.
The Russia 8 December 1991 7.45pm chart is rattled at the moment with SA Venus conjunct the Mars; and heading into an explosive phase later in 2026; with a meltdown in 2027.
Ukraine, 24 August 1991 2.31pm will be on edge and expecting upheavals with tr Uranus square the Venus exactly now and moving to square the Sun from early July. At best it could lift tensions but Uranus being a trickster can go either way. And there is a hint from one Russian military top brass that using nuclear weapons might be the response. Not that anything so devastating shows up on the Ukraine chart but there is nothing looking too settled ahead.
Zelensky’s Swearing in chart, 20 May 2019 10am, is being jolted by tr Uranus conjunct the Taurus Sun exactly now for a definite turning point but from the 9th of this month till late July tr Neptune square the Mars will lead to a sense of failure and disappointment – and that continues through 2026.

❗️NATO confirmed that the Security Service of Ukraine hit at least 40 Russian aircraft as a result of Operation Spiderweb
According to the assessment of the North Atlantic Alliance, this was the “most successful operation” of Ukraine against Russian strategic aviation.
Apparently drones were concealed in shipping containers, an idea created by Russia called system k.The real target of these systems isn’t airfields.
It’s ships. Shipping containers will be used to ambush surface vessels like carriers with close-range attacks.
That won’t be a major part of this war. China however will watch closely..
Spider web operation didn’t ended… more actions going on to totally derail Rushist operations… it was only the first act!
SBU conducted a new unique special operation and hit the Crimean Bridge for the third time – this time underwater!
The operation lasted several months. SBU agents mined the supports of this illegal facility. And today at 4:44 am the first explosive device was activated.
The underwater supports of the supports were severely damaged at the bottom level – 1100 kg of explosives in the TNT equivalent contributed to this. In fact, the bridge is in a state of emergency.
Interestingly Mars is in almost the exact same degree that it was when Prigozhin and the Wagner group began to march on Moscow on 23/6/23. It was then at 20 degrees Leo. Yesterday 21 Leo. We still don’t know the year Putin was born, but in the 1950 possible chart it has a Moon/Pluto conjunction at 19 degrees Leo. Uranus was also square to this degree in June 2023. Both the 1950 and 1952 year charts are showing difficulties in 2026, especially from June to mid-September, when Saturn will oppose the Sun and goes stationary retrograde on this point for over 3 months.
I think this event needs to be viewed as part of a jigsaw puzzle. In recent weeks, for example, there have been reports of growing food shortages and failing crops in Russia, including potatoes. At the same time a report produced by a Russian economic institute has been sounding warnings of the collapse in the banking system. These and other things taken together might suggest the build up to a ‘perfect storm’; but I’m not sure what astrological event might indicate such a moment. An eclipse, perhaps?
I strongly suspect that Putin’s days are numbered. The Saturn-Neptune Conjunction consistently corresponds with major leadership/regime changes in Russia.
He foolishly bit off far more than he can chew with Ukraine, which under Zelensky’s leadership increasingly looks like David to his Goliath, punching in well above its weight. But of course, Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom and liberty.
What are Russians fighting for? The Russian people never wanted this war. This is all on Putin and his imperialism rooted in his own malignant narcissism. He arrogantly thought he could rebuild the Russian empire. But invading Ukraine was a catastrophic overreach and miscalculation for him that will result in his ultimate undoing and Waterloo.
Two astrological, as opposed to military, observations. The first is that the two Saturn-Neptune conjunctions before 1917 were also important in Russian history. In 1881, tsar Alexander II, known as the Liberator, was assassinated by an anarchist, who also died in what is remembered as the world’s first suicide attack. This liberal tsar, who admired Lincoln and wrote to him, had freed the serfs in 1861, which may have inspired the American Emancipation of slaves in 1863. His killer wanted to start a revolution, which only took place at the following conjunction. And in 1846, the year Neptune was discovered, Marx and Engels moved to Brussels where they founded the first Communist Correspondence Committee, the ancestor of all the Communist parties of the world. There is a clear link between Saturn-Neptune and Russia since 1846 which has yet to be explained.
The second observation is that if the past is prologue to what is happening now, Putin may fall in less than a year as the conjunction recurs. Ukraine can still win this and Zelensky may emerge as a great hero of our time. I just hope his country doesn’t turn into another Israel.
.
Pluto will be conjunct Zelensky’s natal Sun in 2026. He should feel empowered.
Or have significant health problems. Almost to the degree, a friend was diagnosed with leukemia this year when transit Pluto conjuncted her sun.
Zelenskyy’s a 9th house Sun. Pluto’s transit to his Sun would not necessarily be significant of health issues on its own. Pluto conjoined my Sun three years ago without detriment, but I had major health issues when Uranus passed through my 6th a decade & a half ago.
For what it’s worth, Saturn/Neptune conjunction is currently opposed to the Russia 862 chart’s Sun/Saturn at 1 degree Libra, today Mars is in Leo 21 degrees opposition Russia 862’s Neptune in Aquarius at 21 degrees.
Interesting intelligence related fact about the operation: While a lot has been written on the Ukrainian military intelligence GUR and their immensely memeable stonefaced director Kyrylo Budanov, this was an internal security organisation SBU operation. SBU’s leader is Vasyl Malyuk, born February 28th, 1983, according to Wikipedia. He was appointed during Zelensky’s wider shakeup in February 2023. I looked at his planets, and what caught my eye was 8′ Pisces Sun square a tight 9′ Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Sadgittarius. This is interesting, given the hit on archers shooting arrows. He also has 2′ Aries Mars being hit by Saturn, Virgo Moon and Aquarius Mercury possibly inconjunct.
I also think Budanov and Malyuk are clear examples of the most important edge Ukraine has in this battle: Many key figures are in their 40’s. Their memories of the Soviet Union are those of children or teenagers. They obviously would have a mindset of the Ukrainians and “half” Ukrainians I know: The life wasn’t easy, people struggled and had to hustle, but there also were true opportunities to be taken. I think Putin and his inner circle crushed this generation in Russia. There barely are people whose formative years were in post-Soviet era in Kremlin. The mindset is very different there, rigid and fearful.
Decisive or not, this is going to be a much needed moral boost for Ukraine. The school year ended here in Finland yesterday, and I had a chance to talk with my daughter’s Ukrainian friend’s parents, more with the father who is fluent in English. Their out view of the situation is realistic – they acknowledge Russia would likely keep Crimea – and pragmatic – my daughter’s friend is now speaking perfect, quick preteen Finnish, I observed the group of friends chatting and frankly couldn’t tell her apart. But they have loved ones in Kharkiv, which is constantly bombarded, so this must be a huge relief.
A brilliant operation against Russian airfields was planned for a year, six months and nine days — Zelensky
There was a report by the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Vasyl Malyuk: “an absolutely brilliant result… these are Ukrainian actions that will definitely be in history textbooks.”
2/The president also reported that our people who were preparing the operation were withdrawn from Russian territory in time.
Of course, we can’t tell everything now, but these are Ukrainian actions that will definitely be in history textbooks.

Just an observation, but I thought it was interesting that this attack took place on Zelenskyy’s Jupiter return. Zelenskyy has a 27 degree Jupiter in Gemini rising in the 1st in his chart, conjunct BML at 0 degrees Cancer. Moreover his Jupiter is conjunct the fixed star Betelgeuse, a star on the right shoulder of the Orion constellation and which was renowned in judicial astrology for bestowing glory and success in war and martial honours. So at the timing of this attack both Jupiter and Betelgeuse conjunct the midheaven, marking the extraordinary success of this operation.
From Astrology King:
‘Fixed star Betelgeuse gives martial honor, preferment and wealth. It is of the nature of Mars and Mercury.’
‘α Orinis. A variable orange star on the right shoulder of Orion. “The Giant’s Shoulder.” Spectral class M2. The native can receive honors, and gain wealth. The native can be obstinate, combative, rash, energetic, and changeable. Fame is possible.’
‘War and carnage are presaged by Betelgeuse. The star is indicative of great fortune, martial honors and other kingly attributes.’
‘Betelgeuse is on the Right Shoulder of Orion, and corresponds to the meaning of Mars with a touch of Mercury. The effects of these properties are more propitious than those of Bellatrix, especially if Jupiter is also connected to it.’
‘Betelgeuse is a mighty star on the main muscle of Orion that wields his sword. It is of Mars-Mercury classification and never fails to reveal immense strength in a horoscope. How that serves or fates the person in question depends on how he uses his strength. Nothing happens by halves with this great star.’
‘Fixed star Betelgeuse rules the navel.’
Some further thoughts – some Russian bloggers are apparently calling this attack ‘Russia’s Pearl Harbour’ and though I think that is perhaps an exaggeration to an extent, Uranus has returned to the position it was on 7 December 1941 and Jupiter was in Gemini as it is now.
SBU confirms 34% of Russian strategic bomber fleet destroyed or severely damaged.
That would mean 22 out of 66 aircraft (Tu-95 and Tu-160).
Wow. Thank you.
Ukrainian war journalist Yuri Butusov has summarized the details of the operation “Spiderweb” against Russian airbases:
– At the moment, according to our sources, the destruction of 41 aircrafts of strategic and military transport aviation of the Russian Armed Forces at four bases has been recorded. …
@Luis Godinho, I think this might be the number if the hit was a perfect success, but even 20 % would be a high number, given Russia does not have capacities for producing additional ones.
Satellite imagery has 13 visibly damaged or destroyed. Zelenskyy said it took 1 year and 9 days from the start to execution. Nice book end to see astrological timing.
Strikes me this is the end of the castle again. Strategic bases in the hinterlands are over. No need to waste resources on strategic fleets that you can’t protect from unsuspecting truckdrivers.
Ukraine has hit at least 4 major things that are strategic. The hinterland attacks on the rocket base, the refining capacity, the siberian railroad connecting to China and now the strategic bombing fleet.
“Regarding Trump’s words about Putin ‘playing with fire’ and ‘really bad things’ happening to Russia. I only know of one REALLY BAD thing — WWIII”. – Dmitry Medvedev 5 days ago.
While Russia is bleeding over some wheat producing farmland which while a breadbasket is not high value farmland, Ukraine is having some success at knocking over Russia’s foundation pillars . Maybe Medvedev should open his eyes. Really bad things are already happening to Russia.
A Neptune-Saturn conjunction. Putin personally announced the invasion in Capricorn. Putin and Russia were Saturn. Mars and Venus were conjunct and rising. The rulers of the war axis. Vesta was with them. All three were in Capricorn in Putin’s hands as Saturn. A Vestal Virgin was a daughter of the state and she had to remain undefiled or she would be buried alive. Putin invaded Ukraine stating he had a holy mission to destroy Ukraine.
The drones came out of wood sheds. The attack opened in Virgo. Putin isn’t in control of Vesta right now, she appears to be on Ukraine’s side. If he has lost Vesta, than maybe his shipwreck is upon him. Neptune conjunct Saturn.
After he catches up to Neptune, it strikes me Ceres and Venus are now out pacing him. Wealth and peace are slipping away. The next planet to arrive at his position is the Aries Moon, the Ukrainians, who he chose to make the Moon when he announced the invasion. Maybe this wasn’t Russia’s Pearl Harbor but Ukraine’s Saratoga.
It might be the equivalent in damage, but where the resolve will come that matches what emerged in the US following the Japanese shock bombing of Pearl Harbor is much harder to fathom.
The Russian people never wanted this war. If anything, they are growing increasingly weary of Putin. His “strongman” mystique is waning, and increasingly he looks and behaves more like the timid petty bureaucrat he always was, making threats from behind the state apparatus, much like his former admirer once again sitting in the U.S. White House.
There will be life in Russia after his fall.
