Hi All,
I would encourage you to read the below article in order to understand the inner reality of Pig Putin that is the basis or determinant of how to understand the 'why' of what motivates him relative to Ukraine: and through extension his desire to re-create for former Soviet Union. As you will read there is the essential character in his life called Alexander Dugin who has his ear and has been compared to Rasputin. I have posted the charts of Dugin, Rasputin, and Putin so that you can take a look objectively, from and EA point of view, to see and understand the correlations between the charts of Dugin and Rasputin, and both connect to the chart of Pig Putin himself.
Please feel free to comment or ask question.
God Bless, Rad

The far-right mystical writer who helped shape Pig Putin's view of Russia
Alexander Dugin sees the Ukraine war as part of a wider, spiritual battle between traditional order and progressive chaos.

Vladimir Putin has frequently tried to legitimize his invasion of Ukraine by invoking the idea of a religiously tinged civilizational clash: Eurasia against the West. For Putin, Moscow is the "third Rome," the spiritual and cultural inheritor of the legacy of the Roman and Byzantine empires, the center of a distinctly anti-European dominion, one powerful (and authoritarian) enough to withstand the perceived threats of liberal modernity, multiculturalism and progressive values.
The notion of an independent Ukraine, in this view, is a fiction propagated by the "secular authorities" of the decadent West. Instead, to the Russian president, Russia and Ukraine exist in "spiritual unity" — not only because of their shared Orthodox Christian faith but also because both peoples claim the lineage and cultural ancestry of "Ancient Rus," a medieval, Kyiv-centred federation. The idea of "spiritual unity" hints at a mystical strain in Putin's thinking. Indeed, he appears to see his imperial war as an earthly manifestation of a wider, mythic battle between traditional order and progressive chaos. To understand that mysticism — to understand the ideas underpinning the assault on Ukraine — we must look to one of Putin's most profound influences: the far-right occult writer and philosopher Alexander Dugin.
It's not an exaggeration to say that Dugin, often termed "Putin's Rasputin" or "Putin's brain" by the international press, is — as the Washington Post columnist David Von Drehle has also suggested — the de facto author of Putin's Ukrainian strategy. Although he holds no formal position in government — rather, he is a sometime academic and former chief editor at Tsargrad TV, a network known for its fervent support of both Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church — and has been perpetually cagey about the specifics of his relationship with Putin, his language and rhetoric have long been adopted by the Kremlin. As just one small example, his 2013 and 2014 uses of the term "Novorossiya" (New Russia) for territories of Eastern Ukraine that Russia wished to claim were reflected shortly afterward in Putin's propagandist language supporting the occupation of Crimea. For anyone who has read Dugin, the echoes of his thought in Putin's recent speeches about Russia's supposedly proper place in the world have been unmistakable, and uncanny.
Born in 1962 to a high-ranking Soviet family (Dugin's father was a military intelligence officer), Dugin came to national prominence in the 1990s as a writer for the far-right newspaper Den. A 1991 manifesto serialized in Den, "The Great War of the Continents," laid out his vision of Russia as an "eternal Rome" facing off against an individualistic, materialistic West: the "eternal Carthage." In the early 1990s, he co-founded the National Bolshevik Party with controversial punk-pornography novelist Eduard Limonov, blending fascist and communist-nostalgic rhetoric and imagery; edgy, ironic (and not-so-ironic) transgression; and genuine reactionary politics. The party's flag was a black hammer and sickle in a white circle against a red background, a communist mirror image of a swastika. The party's half-sincere mantra? "Da smert" (Yes, death), delivered with a sieg-heil-style raised arm.
His breakthrough work was the 1997 book "The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia," which was so wildly popular that supermarkets placed it at their checkout counters. It set out a playbook for dealing with the West that seems by now all too familiar: using disinformation and soft power to "provoke all forms of instability and separatism" within the United States, including by stoking racial and political tensions, while bolstering nationalism and authoritarianism at home.
Continuing to balance his intellectual work with more hands-on politics, in 2002 he created the far-right Eurasia Party, which was "welcomed by many in Putin's administration," the Russia analysts Anton Barbashin and Hannah Thoburn write in Foreign Affairs. They also note that he forged "strong ties" with Sergei Glazyev, a leader of the patriotic political bloc Rodria and now Putin's top aide on "Eurasian integration."
Dugin and his followers have been involved in several key moments in Russian imperial expansion. He was active in the disputed Ossetian regions during the 2008 Russia-Georgia war and collaborated with separatist activists in Ukraine in 2014. In 2009, notes Cathy Young in the Bulwark, he was appointed chair of the international relations section of the sociology department at the prestigious Moscow State University, although he was later pushed out — under disputed circumstances — in 2014, possibly as a result of incendiary comments calling for the mass slaughter of Ukrainians ("Kill them, kill them, kill them"). He remains a ubiquitous commentator on Russian television, a situation that could not exist without Putin's endorsement.
Reading Dugin's work broadly, his goals are straightforward: the restoration of a powerful, authoritarian Russian state and the internal dissolution of Russia's enemies, particularly the liberal West. As Dugin argued in "Foundations" and its 2009 follow-up, "The Fourth Political Theory," the contemporary world order had to be understood as a pitched battle between the forces of "human rights, anti-hierarchy, and political correctness" represented by the "Atlantic" Americans and Europeans, and the distinctly "Eurasian" Russian culture, which was still capable — unlike the sclerotic West — of honoring the mainstays of human life: "God, tradition, community, ethnicity, empires and kingdoms."
Yet Dugin's vision of Russian restoration is about more than a geopolitical order. Dugin openly subscribes to a strain of explicitly occultist, reactionary thought known as Traditionalism. Although Traditionalism often ahistorically claimed an older lineage, it can be roughly dated to a network of reactionary artists and writers living in and around Paris during the twilight of the 19th century. A heady blend of dandies and decadents, reactionary Catholics and surrealist Satanists, penniless aristocrats and pretenders to titles, this circle was defined by its alienation from, and rejection of, what it saw as the problems of liberal modernity, in particular its spiritual desiccation and its abandonment of the (often racial and gendered) hierarchies that supposedly defined the world order of a half-imagined, mythical past. The circle was defined, too, by its passion for all manner of the occult — a blend of sincere interest in the magical arts and a thoroughly avant-garde desire to shock. What the world needed, these figures argued, was a return to the old world: a world of honor, of order, of authority, of people who understood that some were naturally sovereign and others enslaved.
Influenced by these figures, foundational Traditionalists such as the Frenchman René Guénon (1886-1951) and the Italian fascist-mystic Julius Evola (1898-1974) turned these intellectual currents into a (somewhat) coherent narrative. The world had once been hierarchical and pure; now, we lived not in an age of mythic heroes but rather in the "Kali Yuga" (a term borrowed loosely from Hinduism): an age of chaos and mediocrity. The natural order of things — in which everyone knew and respected their natural and social function — had been overturned by the false promise of democracy. "Nobody any longer occupies the place that he should," Guénon lamented. But a secret truth, available to occult initiates and handed down to those spiritual aristocrats wise enough to transcend their era, could spell a resurgence of past glory.
Dugin has been open about his Traditionalist leanings. He came to intellectual maturity as part of the Yuzhinsky circle, a Guénon-obsessed mix of neo-Nazis, punks and Satanists. One of his first publications was a Russian translation of Evola's book "Pagan Imperialism." He has described political correctness and liberalism as harbingers of the Kali Yuga, and glowingly referred to the Eurasian order as "the spiritual order that penetrates all levels of reality, both subtle and coarse, soulful and corporeal, social and natural." For Dugin, as for all Traditionalists, the culture war is a cosmic battleground: a jihad against a liberal order explicitly coded as demonic.
The world has plenty of wheat. Putin still uses it as a weapon.
Dugin's influence — and that of the Traditionalists more broadly — is not limited to Russia. As the historian Gary Lachman has noted, in Hungary, far-right leader Gábor Vona has engaged a Traditionalist spiritual adviser, Tibor Baranyi, and contributed a foreword to a publication of Evola's "Handbook for Right-Wing Youth." In Greece, the Golden Dawn party includes Evola on its reading list. Traditionalism, too, has underpinned far-right movements in the United States. Nina Kouprianova, former wife of the prominent white nationalist Richard Spencer, has translated Dugin's work into English. And, as scholar of the far right Benjamin Teitelbaum extensively reported in his 2020 book, "War for Eternity," Donald Trump's sometime adviser Stephen K. Bannon has frequently alluded to his interest in Traditional ideas.
The notion that global politics is underpinned by the visions of occultist mystics may seem like something out of a Dan Brown novel. But, from at least the 19th century, reactionary movements have contained a powerful spiritual streak: attempts to re-enchant what they see as alienated modernity through the promise of secret wisdom and purifying bloodshed — an apocalypse that presages a return to a more pristine state of being. As Dugin told "60 Minutes" in 2017, "We need to be free and liberated, not only physically as a state, as a people, but as well [a] revival of Russian logos, of Russian spirit, of Russian identity that is much more important."
Hi Rad,
This is incredible synastry, almost a copy paste pair of charts if we look closely, the ones of Rasputin and Dugin. Could I ask, from your knowledge if you can confirm this indeed the same soul?
If so it is interesting the fact that it is rumoured that Putin has been seriously ill for some years now and that this influence of Dugin in him could have the same "healing" type relationship that allowed Rasputin to enter the privacy of the ruler elite back then, the same now. This could be seen for example in the reversed nodes conjunctions with Dugin's Jupiter on Putin's NN and Putin's Pluto on the other's NN. As well as Dugin's Neptune conjunct Putin's venus in scorpio with opposes Putin's Jupiter taurus skipped step. So one tail feeding the other continuously to keep each others delusions and power needs.
There is one thing I would like to ask relative to Dugin's chart, which is the new mars venus phase in this life. Does that mean that he is simply repeating the same themes with new people (Putin) in power? I get mixed messages here if it is a new relationship between the two given the nodes conjunctions. Also, if this is the same soul, the fact that the skipped step of Pluto taurus that shows now at the opposite side with neptune scorpio is in any way connected to the fact this is a soul who has made a contract with evil, so back and forward? I ask because also from an article posted I think on the environment thread, this is a soul who has the traits/path of exactly that and who's influence is not obviously seen but working in the shadow of other powerful people.
Thank you Rad,
Helena
Hi Helena,

**********
Yes they are the same soul. Among other symbols the two charts that an EA astrologer can see to confirm this is the fact that Rasputin had Mars in Virgo: remember he was shot to death through the head. In the chart of Dugin he has his Uranus, the ruler of his S.Node, conjunct with his Pluto on that Mars.

Yes. And they are both in Capricorn meaning his Soul's desire to be integrated and actualized in the context of the consensus of the Russian society. And, in fact, he has done just that.

Dugin's Pluto and Uranus are conjunct the S.Node of Lucifer, just like Putin's Pluto is conjunct his S.Node of Lucifer. Rasputin's natal Lucifer is conjunct Putin's natal Venus, opposed his Jupiter, and square his Nodal Axis. It is conjunct Dugin's natal Neptune that ignites the same pattern in Putin's chart. In Putin's last life he did not personally know Rasputin but knew/heard of him. This is the first life in which Putin has formed a personal relationship with Dugin/Rasputin.
The 'healing' dynamic in the current life is rooted in Putin's egocentric/Soul delusions grandeur, a messianic complex, to return Russia to it's former 'glory' as the Soviet Union wherein the current Russia has been wounded when it split up in the 1990's. This is where the voice/ consciousness of Dugin/Rasputin comes into Putin. Rasputin's Uranus,the ruler of his S.Node is Uranus in Cancer which conjuncts Putin's Uranus which is the ruler of his N.Node. We have learned that Uranus correlates to the brain in all humans. Thus, Putin's 'brain' being influenced by Dugin/Rasputin: rasPUTIN. Hmm....
Putin and Dugin/Rasputin have made their contracts with Evil. Putin set all of what is happening in Ukraine when the Pluto transit has been conjunct his N.Node of Lucifer at 26 Capricorn.
God Bless, Rad
Hi Rad,
From EA perspective very interesting indeed. I see what you mean by the mars then Pluto Uranus and being shot in the head... Quite literal really. There is a sequence of rulerships that I like to check with you which is the venus mars new phase being ruled by Saturn at zero Aquarius, that is then ruled by Uranus at zero virgo, that ends at mercury 29 Capricorn. Does this have anything to do (other than meeting the new powerful people) with his evolutionary state being individuated (I would say second to third individuated) relative to actions/messages having their main influence in mainstream society? Of course, beyond the influence it has on his own circles of other individuated 'special' groups.
Putin's chiron in Capricorn (and how graphic can this be to the wounds he is infringing on society), still relative to healing theme is Dugin's mars venus sun.
And rasPutin wow... Life can really be that literal.
Thank you again for pointing that Rad,
Helena

We need to remember that in EA the evolutionary state of any given Soul can only be understood by observation and correlation: it can not be known be simply looking at any given birth charts symbols alone. Relative to observation and correlation Dugin/Rasputin is evolving out of the 2nd stage individuated into the 3rd stage individuated in which he now inhabits. His writings have been in circulations for many, many years now among groups of like mind, and read by those types of humans all over the planet. Putin took one of those books called the Foundations of Geopolitics and made in 'mainstream', consensus, reading when he made it the official textbook for the Academy of the General Staff of the Russian military. This book in so many ways mirrors the writings of Hitler's Mein Kampf.

In this case sadly so.

This is really fascinating and insightful, thank you for sharing this info with us Rad.

Hi Rad and All,
In the midst of all this evil minds, I would like to post an image that has been highly praised as iconic of these times, and was taken in the last days inside of azovstal, a soldier in the azovstal complex that is absolutely breathtaking. It's hopeful that light always finds its way through darkness.
Let's hope,
Helena
Hi Helena,
God's hand indeed in the midst of all the evil. Thanks for sharing this picture.
God Bless, Rad
Hi Helena and All
In the midst of Pig Putin's evil..
God Bless, Rad
Hi Rad,
So true... I have been reflecting on this past Jupiter Neptune conjunction in pisces (along with venus) and the effects of collective prayer. I'm sure many many people all over the world pray for the Ukrainian people, and for sure there has been some remarkable resistance no one thought possible. And now that Jupiter and mars moved to aries it seems the Ukrainian resistance against this evil is less able to move forward. I do think Jupiter ingress back in pisces will bring the need for collective gathering around the values Ukraine is defending and some "invisible" help, at least I hope... How would you see this power of collective prayer?
Thank you Rad,
Helena
Hi Helena,
That it can only help: nothing to loose. To me an effective prayer would be to ask God to remove the the cause of this evil manifesting in Ukraine: Pig Putin. It has been widely reported that this evil pig has two forms of cancer: thyroid and intestinal. The transits in his chart certainly support that if true. Lets hope and pray for ........
God Bless, Rad
Hi Rad,
Let's hope... I have an eye on the very prolonged mars rx this end of the year going retrograde on his 8th right opposite his mars, to the degree almost, but nonetheless a mad man who knows he has nothing to lose with a hand on the nuclear button it's scary to say the least. I hope too someone is around him who can oppose him, even though unlikely.
Can I ask if this too is a reminiscent of his past life? Possibility of dying earlier with ill health? From what you shared on another thread of him being a general in the past life I got the impression this happened?
Thank you Rad,
Helena
Hi Helen,
Yes it is ...........
God Bless, Rad
