Uranus
in Taurus 2018 – Where is this world going?

It was first published in Serbian: August 01st, 2016
This article was my topic at the 48th AA GB conference (September 11th, 2016) and in The Astrological Lodge of London (September 19th, 2016). The Astrological Journal UK will publish an extract of this article during 2018
On May 7, 2016 it was exactly 16
years since Vladimir Putin became the head of the world's largest state. That
period coincides with the renewed rise of Russia, its influence in the world
and its reputation that was not very good following the dissolution of USSR and
the time of Yeltsin rule.
Few days before his official
election as President on May 7, 2000, Vladimir Putin gave interview for BBC and
appeared as a man who would, at least, be the partner of the West, open for any
cooperation. He then stated that "Russia is part of the European
culture", and even did not exclude the possibility of Russia entering
NATO, which seems to be pure science fiction today.
"I
cannot imagine my own country in isolation from Europe and what we often call
the civilized world"
- said the then new President.
The Western press liked this
fairly unknown official at first. They described him as a man who combined the
liberal orientation with the hardness that "Russian people seem to
like".
After Yeltsin's Russia, that was
ruled by crime and lawlessness and whose reputation was at its lowest, Putin managed
to completely overturn the situation. You may love him or not, but the fact is
that he is one of the most influential politicians of XXI century, and a very
important figure on the chessboard of the world's political scene.
From year to year of his rule, Vladimir
Putin kept increasing his power. It started in 2004, after he signed the law
that enables the President to appoint regional governors. A kind of "political
partnership" that he has with Dmitry Medvedev enabled him to get the
Presidency in 2012 after spending four years as the Prime minister. In the
meantime, Russian Duma adopted the amendment to the law that extends the term
from 4 to 6 years. If he decides to run
again in 2018, and he wins that election, Vladimir Putin will become the man who
had been the head of Russia for the longest time. He will defeat Leonid Brezhnev
who spent 18 years in that position, and even Joseph Stalin.
Fixed
star Algol & 19º Libra (the fall of the Sun)
From the point of view of Bolshevik
Russia (which still vibrates in the consciousness of Russian people) for May 2018
(when the new/old President starts his new mandate of 6 years, until 2024), there
is the Sun (President, ruler) in secondary progressions at 26º Aquarius, while
Saturn in Solar Arc directions is at the very Ascendant of Bolshevik Russia, at
26º Scorpio! Saturn is always about assuming huge responsibility, and the
position at the Ascendant of Bolshevik Russia is depiction of assuming
responsibility by the official Moscow as the capital of Russia. All this will
activate 26º Taurus, i.e. fixed star Algol, which is related to the Moscow
itself! More specifically, 26º of fixed signs are related to Russia (take a look
at my article "Russia and 26 º of fixed signs – Presidential elections 2012",
which I wrote in 2011) and they have been always active through the history
when it is about the most important events for this country, because they
activate the malefic star Algol. When talking about Algol, there is always some
"head falling", as well as with 19º Libra (degree of Sun's fall) there
is the "fall", i.e. "losing of head" literally of some
important figure, some important ruler. This is also the degree that Russia as
the country is "sensitive to" (take a look at my article "Russiaand 19º Libra“ written in October 2014). From the point of view of fixed stars,
the Russian capital -- Moscow has the story of Algol accented, since the first
Russian imperator, Ivan the Terrible, installed the guillotine in front of
Kremlin, which corresponds also to the degree of Sun's fall, 19º Libra! Stalin's
postwar "purges" are also in accordance with this degree. In this
country, human heads (the Sun) were often "falling“, as was the case with
the last royal family -- the Romanovs, so it is not coincidental to relate this
degree of 19º Libra (Sun's fall) to this country…
The chart of USSR is also
interesting. The Moon is almost at Algol, while Saturn (the ruler of 10 – country's
reputation, Soviet leaders) occupies the degree of Sun's fall – 19º Libra! Although
Saturn is in exaltation in Libra, it is still the degree of the Sun's fall!
When Vladimir Putin first came into
power on May 7, 2000, the Moon (people, electorate) of Bolshevik Russia in
secondary progressions was at 26º Leo. The ruler of the 10th house
of Bolshevik Russia (country's reputation, President), the Venus, was
retrograde in secondary progressions and at 27º Aquarius 01’, i.e. going
towards 26º Aquarius. Retrograde Venus in secondary progressions was a sign
that the same man might come to power several times, and that it might be the
man with the Sun in Venus' sign, the Libra, which is the case with Vladimir
Putin, who has the Sun at 13º Libra! I wish to add that tertiary progressions
of Bolshevik Russia for May 2000 "called upon" fixed star Algol,
since Mercury was at 26º Scorpio and it was retrograde, and it carries Jupiter
at 9º Gemini (one of 4 royal stars in the skies -- Aldebaran, "The Keeper of the East“) and Mars (disputes, wars)
in Virgo in 9th house (abroad). Russia as a country has the strong,
deeply unconscious (the nature of the square) need to go to actions (square has
the nature of Mars – action) led by its own justice (nature of the star Algol).
Being retrograde here implies this is about negotiations that will unfold in
two rounds at least, that negotiations related to the world's conflicts will
not succeed in the first try.
On that May 7, 2000 secondary
Venus from the chart of New Russia was at 26º Taurus, exactly at the fixed star
Algol, which announced the man coming to power would be mythological Perseus
and will administer the justice in his country but also abroad, since the Venus
in the chart of the New Russia rules 9th house (laws, abroad). I
want to add that the secondary cusp of the 9th house was also at 26º
Taurus, which additionally colors the picture! Vladimir Putin strives to "keep the Russian culture, moral and
traditional values", and in accordance with that he changed some laws. Gay
parades are forbidden in the next 100 years, and homosexuality is perceived as
a disorder. Traditional heterosexual family is being respected, as well as the
values of the Russian Orthodox Church. The law forbidding homosexuality for
the next 100 years corresponds good with the fixed star Algol, telling the
story of Gorgon Medusa and the "blocked sexual energy".
But, we must not forget Boris
Yeltsin, the first President of Russian Federation (New Russia). On the day he took
the office (July 10, 1991) his tertiary Moon (moves the fastest and
"lowers" events to the level of 2 days) was at 24º Aquarius 16’, getting
ready to cross over 26º Aquarius and activate Algol!
When he won the second mandate on
Presidential elections in May 2004, Putin had in his secondary progressions the
Moon (people, electorate) at 19º Aries (the degree of Sun's exaltation), which
automatically activated 19º Libra (the degree of Sun's fall) that is related to
Russia! During that same year Putin signed the law enabling the President to
appoint regional governors. By this act Russia went back towards centralized
power, which was strongly criticized by democratically oriented line.
Putin ruled during two mandates,
until 2008, when he was succeeded by Dmitri Medvedev, and Putin went for Prime
Minister position. In the meantime, the Constitution was changed so one may
announce his candidacy multiple times. In 2012 Presidential elections Putin
appeared as presidential candidate and became the President again. The
elections were held on March 4, 2012. Solar Arc Mars (conflicts, wars) was at 26º Aquarius,
which automatically activated the fixed star Algol (26º Taurus). The position
of Solar Arc Moon (electorate, people) in the chart of Bolshevik Russia for 2012
is also interesting -- it is at 26º Scorpio, which is also the Ascendant of
Bolshevik Russia, and that also activates 26º Taurus (Algol). Finally, is we
take a look at Solar Arc Moon (electorate, people) in the chart of New Russia,
we find it at 26º of a fixed sign, Aquarius this time, at the same spot as Solar
Arc Mars of Putin in that moment. All that strongly activates Algol (26º Taurus)!
Since every ruler is the long arm
of the nation, even when he no longer lives, we can follow events in a country
through predictive techniques of his horoscope, even after his death. So, let
us take a look at horoscopes of some of the most important leaders of Russia:
Vladimir
Ilyich Lenin has
26º Taurus, i.e. the fixed star Algol accented in his horoscope -- his Jupiter
is there. Jupiter carries over the Venus from 16º Pisces, the ruler of 7th
house (relations with other countries, everybody that stands across from Moscow).
In 2012, when Putin became the President again, that Venus (diplomatic relations)
in secondary progressions of Lenin was at 26º Leo and activated Algol (26º Taurus)!
On the other hand, when Bolshevik Russia was created (and its horoscope still
works fine, for the consciousness of Russian people still remained at the same
level) -- in October Revolution on November 7, 1917, Lenin had the Moon
(Russian people) in secondary progressions at 19º Libra, the degree of Sun's
fall... All this was a clear picture of
Russian people, whose faith was not at all easy in USSR. Secondary Moon of
Lenin was moving across Saturn at the degree of Sun's fall (fall of life) in
USSR horoscope..., so, as is well known, Bolshevik Russia was created by the
royal family paying for it with their lives…
Joseph
Stalin also had 26º
of fixed signs in his horoscope accented. It was his Mars (conflicts, wars) at 25º
Scorpio 51’, very close to 26º Scorpio! When Putin became President for a
second time (March 2012), Stalin's Solar Arc directions provided the sign along
the road. Solar Arc Moon (electorate, people) was at 26º Aquarius, which was
activated in Putin's chart through Solar Arc Mars, and in Solar Arc directions
of New Russia's horoscope through the Moon. I must also add that when Stalin
became the Prime Minister of USSR (May 6, 1941), his Solar Arc Asc was at the
fixed star Alogl, i.e. at 26º Taurus!!! He remained at this position until his
death on March 5, 1953.
After Stalin's death, Nikita Khrushchev became the leader of
USSR. He took the office on September 14, 1953, when his progressive Sun was at
25º Taurus 00’, so during the following year it came closer to the important 26º
Taurus (Algol)!
Leonid
Brezhnev became
the General Secretary of Communist Party Central Committee on October 16, 1964.
His Solar Arc directions clearly "call out" Algol, for his IC/MC axis
goes across 26º Leo/26º Aquarius, and the progressive Sun is at 25ºAquarius 24’,
nearing 26º Aquarius!
The
last USSR President
It all started with Vladimir
Lenin, and ended with Mikhail Gorbachev. The last President of USSR was Mikhail
Gorbachev, a man due credit for the end of cold war. When he became the USSR
President, on March 15, 1990, his secondary Moon (Russian people) was exactly
at 19º Libra! Secondary Moon moves 1º for 1 month.
Uranus
in Taurus – then and now (1934 and 2018)
On May 15, 2018 Uranus will enter
the sign of Taurus. If we do calculations for Greenwich time, which is the
picture for the whole world, the Moon will be at 26º Taurus, in close
conjunction with the fixed star Algol (from the constellation of Perseus),
which always implies a kind of struggle, where the person in question is guided
by his own, self-proclaimed sense of justice.
Asc will be at 8º Libra, Saturn at 8º Capricorn! Eighth degrees have Scorpio
nature (wars, transformation). Mars from the horoscope of New Russia at 8º Aries,
in 7th house (relationships with others), ruling 8th house (conflicts)
will be activated. Also, Uranus at 8º Capricorn in 4th house (territory) in the
horoscope of New Russia will be activated as well. Now I must go back to when
the series of Uranus/Pluto squares started. The first square happened in June
2012, immediately after Putin took the Presidency again (May 2012), and it
happened across 8º Aries/8º Capricorn. At that moment, Moon was at 27º Leo, and
it activated 26º of the fixed signs! Then followed the Uranus/Pluto square
across 13º, the so-called Grand Easter Cardinal Cross from April 2014, and in
March 2014 Russia annexed Crimea. It seems that the Uranus entering Taurus will
somehow seal the deal, finally defining (Saturn) issues related to the
territory (Uranus in 4 - territory) with countries with which Russia is in a
kind of diplomatic dispute (Mars from Russia's horoscope at 8º Aries in 7 – diplomatic
relations, ruler of 8 – conflict) will be activated.
It is well known that Uranus
spends about 7 years in each sign, and that its cycle lasts for 84 years (7 x 12 ) – or more correctly, it takes 84 years
for Uranus to circle the Zodiac. Last time Uranus was in Taurus, there was WW
II (June 6, 1934). The man who started this war, Adolf Hitler, had Sun at 0°
Taurus in his horoscope. It is interesting that in March 2018, when Russia will
be having Presidential elections, immediately before Uranus entering Taurus (May
2018 – when new/old President officially takes the office) – secondary Asc of Hitler
will be at 26º Aquarius, which will activate Algol (26º Taurus), the star
related to Moscow. I have to add, when Hitler started WW II, his solar Arc
Moon/Jupiter conjunciton was at 25/26 Aquarius – square with Algol! In his
natal chart, he has Moon/Jupiter close to the nebula Facies (sickness,deaths),
which is the picture of people who will die (both planets, the Moon and Jupiter
–are weak in Capricorn).
When the Third Reich was founded (January
30, 1933), the Ascendant was exactly at Algol - 26º Taurus! Solar Arc IC/MC axis
of the Third Reich for the moment of Uranus entering Taurus (May 2018) will be
at 19º Libra/19º Aries! As I have already said, this axis is very important for
Russia, for it is the axis of Sun's (head) fall and exaltation. But, more
important here is the position of Venus (as the ruler of Asc of the Third Reich).
The Venus will be at 26º Aquarius and will activate Algol (26º Taurus)! This is
also the place where in antiscia (the mirror) Putin has his Asc (this will be
discussed further in the text). Uranus was at 19º Aries, which activates 19º Libra
(the degree related to Russia)!
WW II started on September 1,
1939 by the attack on Poland. In Poland's horoscope from 966 there is the Sun
at 0º Taurus! In that moment Solar Arc directions positioned Chiron (the wound)
at 25º Taurus 46’ (which is very close conjunction with Algol – 26º Taurus). But,
the interesting thing is the following – when Uranus will be entering Taurus in
May 2018, solar Arc Mars (conflicts) from the Poland's horoscope 966 will be
exactly at Alogl (26º Taurus). I want to
ask if the Uranus entering Taurus in 2018 means there will be a memory of WW II?
Finally, the horoscope antiscia
of Vladimir Putin is also interesting, for all the cusps of houses are at 26º, and
angular houses start at 26º of fixed signs (Asc 26º Aquarius, Desc 26º Leo, IC
26º Taurus, MC 26º Scorpio), to which the Russia is "sensitive“.
Prenatal eclipse is always a kind
of unknown for us, because it happened immediately before one's birth and there
is a sort of dark there, but also there is a strong memory as well. Putin's prenatal
eclipse was a solar one, on August 20, 1952 at 27º Leo, which strongly
activates 26º of fixed signs and clearly implies the very important role of
this man for Russia and the world in the time to come, when Uranus (the change)
will enter Taurus, with the Moon at 26º Taurus (Algol)!
Eclipses
during Uranus stay in Taurus that will activate Algol!
During the pre-election year in Russia,
on August 21, 2017 there will be a solar eclipse at 28º Leo 53’, activating 26º
of fixed signs. Another solar eclipse will follow less than a month before
elections (February 15, 2018 -- elections are usually held in March). This
eclipse will be at 27º Aquarius 08’, activating the Grand Fixed Cross at 26º!
On November 19, 2021 there will
be lunar eclipse close to Algol, at 27º Taurus 14’, which might be of crucial
importance for Russia. Finally, on May 16, 2022 there will be lunar eclipse at 25º
Scorpio 18’.
European
Union
All this implies some pretty
challenging time for Russia, but the world as well, since the Moon in the chart
of EU is at 24º Taurus 20’, very close to Algol, and on the day of Uranus
entering Taurus (May 15, 2018) the transit Sun will be exactly at 24º Taurus 44’.
The Moon in EU chart is the part of the fixed T-square with Mars/Pluto in Scorpio
and retrograde Mercury at 19º Scorpio (which carries over Chiron – the wound,
injury), while Saturn at 23º Aquarius in 7th house (diplomatic
relations) represents the focal planet of the T-square and the Russia itself (country
traditionally related to the sign of Aquarius, where the Sun is in detriment).
Saturn has a strong applicative trine with Venus at 19º Libra from the 3rd
house (neighbors), so this is depiction of Russia in EU chart. The degree of
Sun's fall where the Venus is situated is depiction of Vladimir Putin himself, who
is Libra and who is also former (Sun's fall – ex) KGB officer.
Let
us look now through prognostic techniques how Putin's rise to power was reflected
through EU chart.
On May 7, 2000 when Putin became
the President of New Russia for the first time, Solar Arc Mercury of EU was at
26º Scorpio 22’, which activated fixed star Algol, while the tertiary axis Asc/Desc
(moves about 1º for 1 month) was at 19º Libra/19º Aries! This is the axis of
Sun's fall and exaltation, and it is very important for Russia! Also, in the
chart of EU there is the Venus in 3rd house (EU neighbors) at 19º Libra
(the degree of Sun's fall). Venus carries the Moon on Algol, so this is the
clear depiction of Moscow in EU chart!
Moving along, when Putin was
elected President for the second time on March 4, 2012 Solar Arc Sun of EU was
at 26º Scorpio 58’, clearly calling out Algol! Sun in EU's chart is the ruler
of Asc at 18º Leo, and it represents the official Brussels. Activation of Algol
through that opposition tells that Brussels and Moscow will have disputes
during Putin's present mandate.
When Putin annexed Crimea on
March 16, 2014, his secondary Moon (people) was at 25º Leo 34’ (very close to 26º
Leo), which was enough to activate 26º of fixed signs and Algol as well, and
Algol fights for its own justice. Here we have deeply unconscious contents that
are present both within the mind and actions of the leading EU woman, Angela
Merkel, represented by the Moon in 10th house in EU chart, and in
the official Moscow, given by the symbolism of Algol. Grand Fixed Cross forming
across 26º tells that they confront each other on the matter of personal view
of justice! Finally, in the chart of Ukraine, Mercury (as the ruler of Mars from
Virgo – conflicts) is at 26º Leo and it is retrograde, clearly showing that
Uranus entering Taurus might continue the conflict, because the Moon at 26º Taurus
from the chart of Uranus entering Taurus will call out Ukraine as well!
In March 2018, when Russia will
be having elections, secondary MC of EU will be at the beginning of 27º Taurus,
just having crossed 26º Taurus (Algol), while secondary Moon will be at 19º Aries,
again activating 19º Libra (Russia)!
Angela
Merkel in 2017
One year before Uranus enter
Taurus, Germany will be having federal elections, and Angela Merkel will likely
announce her candidature again. But, if we take a look back to the moment when
Putin was first elected President of Russia, we can see that Merkel's Solar Arc
Jupiter (natal ruler of Asc – herself) was at 26° Leo 11’, which automatically
"turned on" Grand Fixed Cross and Algol (Moscow)!. In 2018 when
Russia will be having elections and Uranus will be entering Taurus (on May 15),
her tertiary Mercury (the ruler of natal 7th -- anybody across from
her) will be at 26° Scorpio, and her tertiary Venus at 19° Libra (degree where
Russia also vibrates)! It is very probable for this woman to still be in power
then and to be involved in important events for the world, together with Russia.
Jupiter/Saturn
Grand Conjunction - December 21, 2020
During Uranus' time in Taurus (from
May 15, 2018 until July 7, 2025), year 2020 is very important for there will be
grand conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at 0º Aquarius! Secondary Moon of Gavrilo
Princip was at this same spot when he assassinated Archduke Ferdinand of
Austria on June 28, 1914, which was the start of the WW I. It is interesting
that Gavrilo also had his Saturn at 19º Libra (Sun's fall, degree at which
Moscow vibrates), at the same place as Saturn in the horoscope of USSR. His
secondary Ascendant for that moment was at 8º Capricorn, the spot that will be
occupied by Saturn when Uranus will be entering Taurus in May 2018. All this
activates Mars at 8º Capricorn in the horoscope of New Russia. During cycles of
Uranus/Pluto squares -- from June 2012 until March 2015, there was the 100th
anniversary of WW I (on June 28, 2014).
In 2020, Angela Merkel will have Solar
Arc Moon at 19º Aries, activating 19 º Libra (Venus from the chart of EU – Russia),
degree important for Russia, while Solar Arc MC of EU will be at 0º Gemini,
supported by Jupiter/Saturn conjunction at 0º Aquarius. This might present the
opportunity for EU to easily relate to some new laws and values. This is the
big change for EU! Russia has its Ascendant (Moscow) ruler and ruler of 10th
house (President) at 0º Gemini, so Russia and EU Government are connected at
the same spot, and it is supported by the trine with Jupiter/Saturn conjunction! Asteroid Hermes was at 0° Gemini when
discovered, so this clearly implies the change of rhetoric that will follow Jupiter/Saturn
conjunction, since it is leaving Pleiades, so-called Seven Sisters (29º Taurus).
This conjunction cycle is one of
the most important in mundane astrology, and it deserves our attention. It is
very important for determining the phase human kind is in, and it clearly
demonstrates social structures, conditions and changes in it.
This cycle repeats every 20 years,
being in each element about 240 years. If the conjunction was in Taurus for
example, it takes 240 years to move to Gemini. During those 240 years there is 12
conjunctions in earth element, 4 in each earth sign.
Jupiter/Saturn 20-year cycle -
Minima or Specialis - cycle with period between two consequent conjunctions.
240-year cycle in the same
element - Media or Trigonalis – from the first conjunction in one element until
the first conjunction in the next element.
Complete 960-year cycle - Maxima
or Climacteria - going through all elements of Zodiac.
The moment of Jupiter/Saturn conjunction
going from one element to another is considered to be very important period,
when the focus of the human kind is being changed. This change is called "Grand
Mutation".
The last "Grand Mutation"
was on January 26, 1842, when Jupiter/Saturn conjunction entered earth sign (this
is regarded as the beginning of materialism).
The change to air element will
happen on December 21, 2020, when Grand Mutation will happen at 0° Aquarius,
which tells a lot about the coming change.
This cycle mostly affects events
in Europe, but it is very much related to deaths of American presidents.
United
States – Secondary Moon at 0º Aquarius on December 21, 2020 and some new woman!
We must address the country with
Sirius symbolism, and Sirius being the brightest star in the skies is also
known as the Guardian of Europe. It is well known that this great world's power
has the Moon at 25º Aquarius 28’(close to 26º), which nicely fits in the Grand
Fixed Cross, that relates it, whether it likes it or not, with Russia and EU.
The moment of Jupiter/Saturn conjunction at 0° Aquarius on December 21, 2020 is
especially important -- secondary Moon in USA chart will be also at 0º Aquarius.
I see it as an appearance of a very important woman that will bring big changes
to USA and the whole world. In that same year in November there will be
elections in USA, and this will be very important! The first woman that comes
to my mind is the wife of the President Obama, who will be leaving White House
soon after 8 years. In his chart, Obama has Jupiter at 0º Aquarius, while on
December 21, 2020 his Solar Arc Moon (woman) will be at 0º Leo, activating 0º Aquarius!
Is this maybe a sign that USA will have a female president in 2020, and a
female with the colored skin, who will show USA and the world some new values
and a new road… Remains to be seen... Obama has Moon trine Jupiter in his
chart, so Solar Arc Moon opposing his natal Jupiter would here mean action with
positive outcome.
At the end, I must add this – 26º
Sagittarius (Galactic Center) is something what i found in the charts of
leaders who ruled so long - Stalin and
Brezhnev had Sun at 26º Sagittarius and MC, Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel
have there Mars. Galactic Center makes inconjunction with 26 º Taurus (Algol), as well as
Hitler’s Asc from 26º Libra.
