The Nodes relate to Putin ...

Apart from that I feel the War is being played out by the Actions of Pluto, Saturn, Mars and Venus ...

I see it as a Besiegement with a Besiegement.

Just now Venus is making a Run For It and moving way from both Mars and Pluto.

It crosses the First Mid Point early this Wednesday 16th March, and the Second 25th March.

Then crashes into Saturn on the 28th March.

Mars crosses the Mid Point this Friday 18th March, and crashes into Saturn on the 5th April.

I think You'll get most of what You want from that lot.

PS Worth noting that Pluto is now on His Finals into Aquarius ...

That is Something VERY BIG ...

Followed by Neptune into Aries

and then Uranus into Gemini

"In the conception of the ancients everything that fell within the field of a sensitive perception (allowed by our physical senses) could be interpreted by the observation of the "lights in the sky". Archaic astronomy was able to grasp a strictly mathematical dimension of the most varied phenomena from which a close connection with the life of living beings could not be separated.
The luminous bodies that are observed in the sky are on the one hand the wandering stars, the planets, the Sun and the Moon, and on the one hand the inherent stars, the constellations (or starry images), which are groups of stars having a particular nature codified and handed down over millennia. Within this reality, what concerns living beings is connected to phenomena that are expressed, observable, as well as measurable, in the all-embracing sky (the ideal celestial vault, the sky that embraces and contains all intelligible beings)."
Mario Costantino 'Raw qualities, elements and moods.' ((Astral Language 108, September 1997)

Astronomical view of Mars/Venus travelling together right now...

Why is Mars so much dimmer than Venus now? Four reasons combine to make it so, despite two other factors working in the opposite direction.

It's a combination of six factors:

1) Mars is a smaller planet. It's only a little more than half the physical diameter of Venus, which means it has not much more than 1/4 the surface area to reflect sunlight with.
2) Mars is much less reflective (has a lower albedo). The dusty brown Martian surface reflects only 15% of the sunlight that falls on it, while Venus's white cloudtops reflect 65% of incident sunlight.
3) Mars is currently twice as far from the Sun as Venus is. So the sunlight that strikes its it only one fourth as intense as sunlight at Venus.
4) And, Mars is currently 3 times farther from Earth than Venus is. Three times farther means 9 times fainter.

On the other hand, Venus suffers at present from two effects of its phase:

5) First, its globe currently appears less than half illuminated (43% sunlit) as seen from Earth, while Mars is 93% sunlit: gibbous close to full.
6) Second, the side of Venus we see is therefore more or less grazingly sunlit, while the nearly full face of Mars is hit by light coming almost face-on.


The Gibbous Moon close to Full tells us that Venus is closer to Earth (search for peace?) but Mars is brighter than Venus right now. (war raging?)
Could we interpret this that war is about to reach a peak ??

From Wm Lilly's Christian Astrology:

CHAP. LVI. Whether a City, Towne or Castle, besieged, or to be besieged, shall be taken or not.

The ascendant and his Lord are for the Querent, and those that doe or shall besiege; the 4th house shall signifie the Towne, City or Fort besieged, or to be besieged, the Lord thereof the Governour; the 5th house, Planets therein, and his Lord, the Ammunition, Souldiery and Assistants the Governour and Towne may expect to relive or assist them: [in the Town and are in Garrison.]

If you find the Lord of the 1st strong and fortunate, or joyned to the Lord of the 4th in the 1st, or with the Moon or Lord of the 10th, or in any house except the 12th, 8th, and 6th, conditionally, that the Lord of the 1st receive the Lord of the 4th, or the Moon receive the Lord of the 4th, though she be not received againe, it’s an argument, the Towne, Fort or Castle shall be taken: or if the Lord of the 4th be in such houses as behold not the 4th, (except the Lord of the 7th be in the 4th, then it will not be taken;) if the Lord of the 4th be with the ill Fortunes, and impedited, it’s probable the City shall be taken, and the Governour wounded, or if Infortunes be in the 4th without some strong aspect of the Fortunes, It will be taken, or can it hold out long, or there may be treason in Towne: If South Node be in the 4th, it will be taken, and there will be some goe about to betray or deliver it, or some principall Work or Fort therein; the Signe shewes which part of the Towne; nor doth the Governour think himself able to preserve it.

If none of these Accidents or Configurations before rehearsed be, then have regard to the Lord of the 4th; if he be in the 4th strong and fortunate, and not Retrograde or Combust, or besieged of the Infortunes, or if the Lord of the 7th be there, free from all impediments, or if Jupiter or Venus or North Node be therein, and no reception between the Lord of the ascendant and 4th, then the City, Fort or Towne at that time surrounded or besieged, shall not be taken or delivered to the Army now besieging it; nay, if there be both a Fortune and an Infortune in the 4th, the Towne shall not be taken, if the Fortune be neerest to the cusp of the house, or first of the two Planets which shall transit the degree of the 4th; and this you may averre with greater confidence, if the Lord of the ascendant be any thing weak, or a light Planet and unfortunate;

but if the Lord of the ascendant be fortunate, and a Fortune therein, and he or the Moon behold the 4th house, it notes surrendring or taking the City, Towne or Castle besieged: but if he be unfortunate and otherwayes impedited, and an Infortune in the 2nd, or the Lord thereof Retrograde, or in Square or Opposition to the Lord of the ascendant, it signifies the Querent’s Souldiers will desert him, and will not continue the Siege, they have no mind to the work, or the Querent wants to fit instruments or materials for a Siege, or his Ammunition will not come opportunely, or the Souldiers will depart discontented for their pay, or their duties are too hard, so that he may expect no honour at this Siege.
Looking over the above, it appears to me that Lilly confirms the 1st house and its Lord/Saturn are Russia/Putin (the besiegers), and the 4th house and its Lord/Venus are Ukraine/Zelensky (the besieged).

It also appears that in looking at Lilly's indicators as to whether the besiegement will be successful or not, things seemed to significantly favor Russia/Putin, whereas the only positive indicator for Ukraine/Zelensky that I can find is the North Node being in the 4th house.

Also, in addition to the things related to Lilly above, one of the things that stands out for me as possibly very significant is Venus' first aspect being a sextile to Neptune in her turned 11th, suggesting perhaps significant delusion and wishful thinking.

Tens of thousands of Russians leave their homeland.
https://www.lapresse.ca/international/e ... sciste.php

While following the news of the bloody invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops on social media last month, Ivan Sisoev made a decision he never thought he would make: to leave Russia. He packed his bags, bought himself an "overpriced" plane ticket and flew to the international airport of Kazan, a city of 1.2 million people in western Russia.
A 27-year-old musician and composer, Ivan Sisoïev is now in exile in Turkey. Under Western sanctions, his credit cards no longer work. “In Russia, I paid for everything with my iPhone and my Apple Watch. In Turkey, I have to pay everything in cash. You quickly get used to paying cash." He is now trying to work remotely and think about the next step.

Denis Rossiev, a 32-year-old visual artist who lived in Moscow, left Russia in a hurry to travel to Dubai, one of the only destinations still open to flights leaving Russia since the imposition of Western sanctions. He pays his food and his rent thanks to his cryptocurrency wallet. He does not plan to return to live in Russia. “I'm thinking about what I'm going to do next,??? he says.

For Charlotte, a Russian citizen who fled with her husband and who wishes to remain anonymous, the idea of ​​leaving Russia had been in the air for about five years. “But this war has shown me that Putin is now completely out of his mind and my country has gone fascist. I couldn't wait any longer,??? she explained in an interview from Serbia, where she is a refugee with her husband.

From Potsdam, Germany, where he lives, Roman V. Shaposhnik works day and night to help Russians who want to leave Russia since Putin's invasion of Ukraine. This week, he just launched with colleagues an initiative called Paperclip Project which aims to help Russian entrepreneurs relocate their business to Cyprus. "Many people realize that it will no longer be possible to access a global market from Russia, so they fly to Cyprus and relaunch their business."

Konstantin Sonin, an economist at the University of Chicago, estimated that around 200,000 Russians fled in the first 10 days of the invasion, a number that has certainly increased significantly since then. At least 80,000 Russian citizens are said to have traveled to Armenia, while tens of thousands of others have gone to Georgia, Turkey, Estonia, Latvia and Finland, among others.

Many are beginning to believe that this exodus will resemble that of the early 1990s, when at least 1.2 million Russians left the country after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the economic crisis it caused. The people who are leaving today are mostly younger people, professionals who have known a good standard of living in Russia, and who regret that the country is not freer and more democratic. “They are not happy with the attitude towards human rights, towards the control of the media, in short, things that we take for granted in the West. They want something more,??? says Ms. Piskunova, a lecturer in the political science dept at the University of Montreal.
------------------
This looks like the generation born with Uranus/Neptune conjunction in Capricorn. Choosing between freedom (Uranus) and seclusion (Neptune) as a political system (Capricorn).

In the invasion chart the moon representing Ukraine & more specifically Zelensky seems to fulfill the conditions for Doruphoria or spear bearing in that
the moon is angular in sect with a ray from Mars in exaltation in first casting a ray in front of the moon protecting her. Could this be giving strength to Ukraine/zelensky with the moon in Sagittarius Zelensky has become an outlaw
in his own country giving zoom calls to EU parliament & US senate showing them or even teaching them on the moral imperative of their behaviour & responsibilities & securing millions in military aid as a result. To an otherwise weak chart for Ukraine the spear bearing qualities of Mars to the moon may be giving Ukraine some strength against the odds.
As regards Putin I notice that his Age harmonic has Sun conjunct Mars in his protected 1st house of Leo.
