Are Protests Possible in Russia?

From an astrological point of view, Russia lost its opportunity to come out to numerous rallies and carry out a revolutionary change of power in 2019. It was then that the lunar node Rahu was in the 11th house in Russia's chart. And there were protests, but they were suppressed by the authorities. Hence the conclusion that the next window of opportunity for revolution may open only at the end of 2037.

As much as I do not want to say this, attempts to contact the relatives of captured soldiers in order to change their point of view, or informing the Russian society about Putin's terrorism in Ukraine, unfortunately will lead nowhere.

On March 17, the lunar nodes change their location and move from the axis of the Taurus-Scorpio constellations to the axis of the Aries-Libra constellations. In Russia's chart this is the axis of the 9th and 3rd houses. This axis is responsible for knowledge and information, while the previous axis was responsible for self-realization and homeland. In fact, Putin's regime was trying to realize itself in the war with Ukraine and, in their words, to restore the "justice" of borders known only to them. Or even to restore the borders of the USSR.

Now Russia's general rhetoric will change; information about true friends, about faith, will appear, and there may well be philosophizing on the role of Russia in the world. On the external level, Russia will also be framed in a religious context, naturally in a negative key, ascribing to it a demonic or satanic nature, and serious actions will begin related to the restoration of international law, which Russia has simply trampled on.

But the main idea I want to convey is not the religious-legal aspect of perceiving the state, but the aspect of dharma, or more precisely Dharma-sthana. In translation this means debts to the world, or recompense from the world.

Dharama in Hinduism and yoga is a very complex concept. For the Western mind, although it is translated as duty or a certain law, in fact it contains much more meaning. Dharma is directly the purpose or foundation of the existence of objects in the universe. The Dharama of the Sun, for example, is to give light and warmth; the dharma of a child is to obey and honor parents; the dharma of a protector is to guard and defend. Russia called itself the protector of Ukraine, and all Russian propaganda is aimed precisely at this; from March 17 it will have to pay according to dharma, to pay for betrayal.

In this context, a revolution in Russia or the stopping of the war followed by the lifting of sanctions looks like a pardon. This aspect is about something else; this aspect is about justice, about just recompense.

On the other hand, one should not expect an instant result from this aspect; it merely indicates the direction for the realization of dharma. Russia is a large and aggressive country; it will not turn overnight into a weeping captured soldier ready to atone for his guilt. The cycle of the lunar nodes is 19 years, and 19 years ago Russia had the same aspect, and at that time the Rose Revolution took place in Georgia, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, the Second Chechen War, terrorist attacks in Russia, and a large number of man-made disasters in Russia. These are all effects of recompense: the death of Russian forces on their own territory, and the pro-Western path of the former Soviet republics.

If we consider this aspect on the world level, then 19 years ago there was the invasion of Iraq by troops led by the United States. At that time more than a dozen military conflicts were active around the world.

"Is it possible for Russia to collapse from within through revolutionary movements?"

According to astrological symbolism, no, in the near future it is impossible, unfortunately.

"Will the war spill over from Ukraine onto the territory of Russia?"

In the near future it will not spill over either; most likely Russia will begin creating terrorist attacks on its own territory, blaming Ukraine. It will shell and blow up its own civilian population in order to justify the war. And it will build propaganda on the ideology of an external enemy in order to restrain discontent inside the country. In fact, it is already doing this, but later it will do it more harshly, with a greater number of victims and with greater cynicism.
