Transiting Mars was at 22° Gemini - triggering Mars at 22° Capricorn, it's position on the day the war began. It will cross this degree again from the 19th - 23rd November. This planetary influence brings unusually forceful actions and the need to prove dominance. It is also square the war Neptune which indicates critical events and panic.
Transiting Mars has just moved into President Zelensky's natal First House and is conjunct his Ascendant. Mars goes retrograde on 31st October, conjuncting his Ascendant again on 23rd November. and re-entering his 12th House. It won't enter his 1st House properly until 6th March 2023.

Transiting Saturn is back to it's 'war' position at 18° Aquarius and is being squared by transiting Uranus. This extremely disruptive planetary aspect began in January 2021 and has caused much civil unrest and aggravation. One of the key phrases associated with a Saturn Uranus hard aspect is: 'A desire for change battles against the instinct to hang on, amid displays of rebellion' It will finally come to an end in December 2022 but, as is often the case with major planetary influences, it looks like it's going out with a bang.
Pluto went direct after nearly eight months of being in retrograde motion since the end of April. Coincidence? No. Does this indicate a turning point in the conflict?.Perhaps. Either that or the beginning of a new phase in the war.
The rest of 2022 is going to be, astrologically speaking, a very tough time. On the 25th October there will be a Solar Eclipse in the sign of Scorpio. Six days later transiting Mars will turn retrograde and eight days after that there will be a very powerful Lunar Eclipse in Taurus.
I think you're right Sue, this is the beginning of a new phase in the war.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it, Mike.
ReplyDeleteHopefully when the Saturn/Uranus square is over there will be less pressure generally. This influence has been around throughout the disruption of the last 2 years, triggering violence and protests which right now appear to escalating. As you say, it's going out with a bang.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, Sam. The Saturn Uranus square began in January 2021 and has been a strong influence since then bringing riots, protests, and social upheaval, as well as being a powerful catalyst for the war in Ukraine. It ends in December but as is often the case with long-term major planetary aspects, the final hit is the hardest.
