Ukraine’s agony drags on with the additional concern about Trump getting elected, blocking US aid and cosying up to Putin. The one chink of sunshine on the Ukraine 24 August 1991 2.31pm chart is tr Uranus square the Jupiter running through this November but disappearing before the month’s end and returning in April 2025. This should bring a sigh of relief and some reduction of tension. And there should be more good news and lucky breaks from early 2025 on and off till late 2026. There will also be more calamities around June 2025, and on into 2026 so it won’t all be positive.
The relationship charts between Ukraine and Russia December 1991 looks discouraging right through 2025 with some chinks of improvement in 2026. Ukraine with Russia 1917 which is inherently aggravated at any time is gridlocked this year with tr Saturn opposition the Pluto Mars conjunction and undergoing a massive upheaval with tr Pluto conjunct the composite Uranus and square Venus until late this year.
Trump’s astrocartography puts his Mars close to the Midheaven located to Kiev; and for J.D. Vance it puts his Mars in vengeful Scorpio on his Ascendant – so for both it is an area which arouses their anger. (Though VP’s don’t matter when it comes to foreign policy decisions.)
There is not much to be gleaned from the Ukraine Invasion chart itself though tr Saturn will conjunct the Jupiter across the election and throughout November which should dent Russia’s confidence as aggressor (if it follows the WW11 example.)
President Zelensky, 25 January 1978 2pm Krivoj Rog, Ukraine is labouring under a trapped, frustrating tr Pluto opposition his Mars which picks up late November running to late December this year so he will be on tenterhooks. Plus he has a disappointing tr Neptune square his Jupiter mid October to early February 2025; and another blocked, high-risk tr Pluto square his Sun/Mars from late January 2025 on and off till late 2026.
He must be utterly exhausted and there is no saying he will last the course as president. His Term of Office chart shows some lucky breaks and light relief from mid 2025 but major setbacks in 2026 which may be more political than military – or could be both.
ADD ON: Trump and Zelensky are not a good match to understate it by a mile with Z’s Saturn in Leo conjunct DT’s Mars and Ascendant which indicates an irritable and discouraging chemistry. Z’s Pluto is also conjunct DT’s Jupiter for a tussle over who gets the last word. Z’s Sun Venus in Aquarius opposes DT’s controlling Pluto for another power struggle. DT’s Sun is conjunct Z’s Ascendant which can be competitive.
Their relationship chart has a serious-dislike composite Mars Saturn North Node conjunction which is trine Sun Mercury and square Neptune = seriously one sided with elements of cruelty or unkindness and/or trickery about it. This December looks blocked between them with tr Saturn opposition the composite Pluto but that is not an indicator of anything much – relationship charts continue even when there is no real-life connection ongoing.
A comparison between Zelensky and Trump charts might be interesting – and important.
Zelensky called Trump to congratulate him on his Republican nomination and condemn the assassination attempt. According to Zelensky they agreed to discuss at a personal meeting what steps can make peace fair and truly lasting. According to Trump it was “a very good call”.
I think it so smart of Zelensky to reach out and start a relationship with Trump. With T Mars-T Jupiter in Gemini, at Zelensky’s ASC and Trump’s Sun, the connection between them may grow and be significant.
That Ukrainians still are going through what they are going through is absolutely horrifying and something I wasn’t expecting 2 years ago.
That said, it’s good to see Europe rally behind Ukraine. In Britain, there was never any doubt Labour Government wouldn’t continue where Tories left. After Orbàn visited Russia during Hungary’s EU presidency, Finland and Sweden used their newly found NATO muscle to effectively EU ministers boycott every summit in Hungary. Also, I feel – and I think there are polls proving this – that the average Republican voters are MUCH more pro-Ukraine than Trump and Vance. American psyche is very much built on rooting for the underdog, and at this point I think Ukrainians have impressed quite a few people.
Another observation: It’s interesting how female politicians are pivotal in showing support to Ukraine. In the EU, Ursula van der Leyden and Roberta Metsola sailed to leadership positions showing much more firm support to Ukraine than their National leaderships. Giorgia Meloni effectively broke the Right front with Marine Le Pen at the European Parliament over the question. Kaja Kallas of Estonia is now the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. After her (temporary, I’d guess) exit from national politics, Sanna Marin has mainly been lobbying for Ukraine, too, with Hillary Clinton.
And I think this is happening in Ukraine too. I wouldn’t be surprised if whoever succeeds Zelensky was a woman.
Just seen this, its a very interesting observation particularly about Meloni.
Someone to keep an eye on I feel.
Thank you, Marjorie, for writing about this. This reading seems more encouraging for Ukraine. I hope things improve for the Ukrainian people.
Just a thought: I know most astrologers look at the August 24, 1991 chart for Ukraine since that was the date the country declared independence. However, there was a referendum on the Act of Declaration of Independence held on December 1, 1991 and then the actual dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 26, 1991.
In other words, wouldn’t the December 26, 1991 chart be more accurate for Ukraine since that is the date when the country received full sovereignty and recognition from as a sovereign state by the international community?
