Putin is issuing threats about being at war with the UK, USA and NATO if Ukraine is allowed to use UK-made Storm Shadow missiles against targets across the border in Russia. Keir Starmer and Joe Biden are holding talks today in the White House with concerns about Moscow escalating the conflict by buying ballistic missiles from Iran. It could be a pivotal moment in the conflict though US analysts have expressed concern that any additional challenges could lead to Russia using tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield.
Relations between the UK and Russia do look strained ahead. With the Russia 8 December 1991 chart, there will be insecurity/high anxiety late this November to mid December and again mid March 2025 into April with tr Uranus square the composite Mars. With the composite Sun being squared by both tr Neptune and tr Saturn – exactly now and on and off till early 2026. With the Russia 8 November 1917 chart there will be similarly uncertain relations. But it will be 2026/27/28 which are the peak stress times with the composite yod of Pluto sextile Jupiter Mars inconjunct Mercury being triggered by tr Uranus opposition the focal point Mercury from 2026, tr Pluto square the Pluto also and in 2027 tr Neptune square the Jupiter.
If Putin’s 1952 birthdate is sound then the Starmer/Putin relationship will be aggravated now with tr Pluto trine the composite Mars into 2025, in turmoil mid 2025 onwards with tr Uranus square the composite Pluto and in a general muddle with rising suspicion and evasion with tr Pluto square the Neptune Venus now till late 2026. The Lunar Eclipse this month, next March and the Solar Eclipse next September will all impact their composite Sun hinting at an ongoing disagreement.
The USA/Russia 1991 chart is similarly afflicted through these eclipses ahead with the composite Sun opposition Uranus square Pluto not only being triggered by eclipses but also undermined by tr Neptune Nep[tune in hard aspect. With 2026/27 being high tension times as well with tr Uranus square the composite Venus.
The NATO/Russia 1991 relationship chart also has a composite Mars in late Virgo, catching all these eclipses across the next eighteen months. With the NATO chart being keyed up by tr Uranus square the Sun from mid 2025 on into 2026.
This upcoming Lunar Eclipse on 18 September located to Moscow has a successful, confident Jupiter on the Midheaven, though with an evasive Sun Neptune in the 7th.
Keir Starmer’s government chart located to Kiev, Ukraine puts Pluto on his IC which is stuck, boxed on and frustrated so not an area where he feels he is winning.
