The Darkest Time Before Dawn.

There is no possibility of making a full forecast. So this is more of a warning than a forecast. The stellium of the Sun, followed by Mars, will pass through the eighth house in the chart of Ukraine that I use. The procession will begin on 11.03.24 and end on 26.05.24, and on 29.05.24 the transiting and natal nodes will conjoin along the axis of the 2nd and 8th houses.

Now the stellium is ending its procession through the 7th house, which is what caused so many personnel reshuffles, consultations with partners, and in general the last month has in one way or another been connected with the symbolism of the seventh house.

The eighth house is the house of crises, and since the nastiest of the transiting nodes is standing there, Ukraine is facing a large number of crises. There are plenty of them even now, but in the next three months there will be many more. And in general, the eighth house is the hardest one in astrology. May is the most pivotal month this year.

To calm your worries somewhat, I want to say that whoever is destined to drown will not hang. Everyone has their own fate, and these events will play out individually for everyone. Someone may not feel these crises at all, although the whole country will be shaking, and it will be hard not to see it. Fate teaches us to live one day at a time and rejoice in each day. So that is what we will do.

The only encouraging thing is that by mid-summer all the planets will leave the constellation Aries. Of course, the lunar node Rahu will remain in Ukraine's eighth house until the end of May 2025, but still. The symbol of war will change to the symbol of "consequences" in May of this year. This is already a tendency toward the end of the war. I said that the world will fully let go of the war in 2028. Ukraine may be drawn in, or it may not be. In any case, the situation has begun to change, and changes sooner or later will affect everything, including the war.

I do not want to talk about revanches by the Russian forces or a worsening situation at the front. You read the news and see everything yourselves. From an astrological point of view, the crises have not yet begun; what is happening now is a warm-up before what awaits us all.

In Russia the situation will happen in a very similar way. In its chart there is the same stellium, the same eighth house, the same Rahu. So our enemies will get their share too.

This is a fairly rare aspect, for both the stellium and Rahu to be in the eighth house, and it repeats once every 19 years; and for Jupiter also to enter the constellation Aries at this time, while the largest continental war since the Second World War is underway, that is once in a century. And such rare aspects bring rare and very complex events.

Everything will be Ukraine! Take care of yourselves.
