Make no mistake. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will result not only in transformative change to Ukraine, but also to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the military alliance formed after World War II. Both entities are coming under the influence of Uranus transits to their natal horoscopes over the next year that could create intense disruption.
Indeed, astrology reveals that Russia’s invasion is not about Ukraine. It is about NATO.
Chart 1 has the natal horoscope for Ukraine’s independence (August 24, 1991) on the inside wheel, with Russia’s invasion of February 24, 2022 on the outside wheel. What’s important to note is the position of Uranus in the outer wheel at the bottom of the chart. It is just about to cross the cusp of the 4th house of Ukraine’s chart for the third and final time.
Uranus crossing the IC—one of four major “angles” in any horoscope chart—portends opposition from others, sudden changes to the home and the potential need to repair buildings. In an individual’s chart, this could mean moving to a new home. In Ukraine’s case, it appears to be manifesting as having to repair war-damaged buildings and that its people could be seeking new homes.
Ukraine and NATO
This Uranus/IC transit was first exact on June 14, 2021—the same day that Ukraine President Zelensky asked for a definitive yes/no from U.S. President Biden on receiving U.S. support in Ukraine’s desire to join NATO and the same day that NATO was holding a one-day summit in Brussels. Thus, the opposition from others (Russia and President Putin) and invasion are clearly connected to the issue of Ukraine’s desire to join NATO.
Uranus crosses Ukraine’s IC for the final time on April 4, 2022. Expect resolution to the Ukraine/NATO membership question around that time. There is potential for Russian opposition (in both words and actions) to begin fading then as well.
However, Uranus is not yet done with Ukraine. Very shortly thereafter—on July 1, 2022—Uranus is exactly opposite the country’s natal Pluto for the first of three exact hits that end on April 19, 2023. This transit portends sweeping changes to the country’s inherent power. What kind of change we do not know yet. More powerful as a NATO member? Less powerful as occupied by Russia? It appears either is a possibility.
Uranus Brings Change to Ukraine and NATO
Ukraine’s Uranus/Pluto opposition makes its third and final opposition on April 19, 2023, which is when we should know the answer to the question about how its power has changed.
Extremely interesting is that this is just three weeks after Uranus makes its third and final square to NATO’s natal Pluto, which will first begin on June 7, 2022 (one month before Ukraine’s first Uranus/Pluto opposition). NATO’s Uranus/Pluto square makes its final connection on March 28, 2023.
For NATO, the Uranus/Pluto square is about revolution and getting rid of old structures that no longer work. It is forcing NATO to face powerful forces head on rather than sidestep around them. This square’s influence extends from June 2022 through March 2023.
Clearly, the simultaneous Uranus/Pluto transits for Ukraine and NATO provide a powerful world storyline that began in mid-2021 and will not conclude until mid-2023.
Chart 2 shows three horoscopes layered together—NATO the innermost wheel, Ukraine the middle wheel and Ukraine’s final Uranus/Pluto opposition of April 19, 2023. Note that Uranus in the outer-most wheel is exactly opposite Ukraine’s Pluto and just three weeks past an exact square with NATO’s Pluto.
Other connections in this tri-wheel chart suggest an optimistic conclusion for both Ukraine and NATO in mid-2023. However, that will come only by addressing the intensity of change indicated by the Uranus/Pluto transits.
One final point of interest is that Ukraine and NATO share the same birthday—August 24. Thus, they are aligned by their Suns in Virgo, the Earth sign dedicated to being a helper and serving others.
