Trump and Putin – What’s the Connection?

With all the news stories floating around about Russian hacking into Democratic and Republican National Committee’s emails with an eye to influencing the election in Donald Trump’s favor a look at the horoscopes of Putin and Trump and how they interact with one another has been revealing.

Vladimir Putin is a quadruple Libra with Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune in that sign. While Libra is a social sign, the people who need people sign it is often called the iron hand in a velvet glove.  This would seem to fit Putin to a tea.  He spent 16 years in the KGB rising to the rank of Lt. Colonel before becoming Prime Minister, then President of Russia.

When you place Putin’s planets around the outside of Donald Trump’s horoscope you see where his planet’s connect to Donald Trump’s planets. In astrology this type of comparison is called synastry. Synastry can reveal how folks interact with one another, the attractions and the points of friction between people.

There’s an ease of communication between these two. Trump’s Sun and Moon connect favorably with Putin’s Mercury, while Putin’s Venus returns the favor by smiling sweetly at Trump’s Mercury.

But there are issues of power and control here.  Pluto the chief architect of power and control plays a big role in this chart comparison.  Putin’s Pluto in Leo sits on Trump’s 12^th house Mars and is close to Trump’s ascendant. As explained in previous postings, the ascendant is an important component in the horoscope. The 12^th house is the house of secrets and behind the scenes stuff.  This power broker belonging to Putin sits on Trump’s Mars, how he uses his energy, his action planet. So yes, Putin wants to control Trumps movements.

Another control freak, Saturn is in the picture as well.  In Putin’s chart Saturn sits at 17 degrees, 27 minutes of Libra exact to the minute of Trump’s Jupiter in Libra. Saturn is all about restriction and confinement.  And once again control. 

In terms of the power of the planets, Pluto trumps Mars and Saturn trumps Jupiter. Another words, Putin’s got the power. No pun intended.

These planets pull in Trump’s all important Sun/Uranus opposite Moon combination that motivate and activate him.

The picture painted here is Vladimir Putin, behind the scenes pulling the strings. He definitely wants to control Donald Trump. Whether or not Trump is/was aware of these behind the scenes machinations will become apparent as transiting Saturn, in the sky right now, moves into position to kick off Trump’s inner dynamic as well as the dynamic between Trump and Putin.

Saturn is the planet of pay back and he’s been waiting in the wings.  If Trump makes it to the inauguration his first 100 days will not go as he planned.  As the Eclipses of January and February occur more damaging information will come out.  If he survives politically the August Eclipses should finish the job.
