Alexei Navalny (June 4, 1976)

Alexei Navalny has been in the news lately (and when hasn’t he?), so I thought I’d take a look at his birth chart, just to see what’s going on with him.

His birth time is considered ‘good’, although it’s based on someone’s memory, rather than documentation. The Virgo Rising energy is clearly evident when he spends all his time telling the world what is wrong with Putin. It is said that Putin won’t even say his name. That says a lot.

But there are no inconjuncts, so what you see is what you get, where his personality is concerned. Sun in Gemini, Moon in Virgo (and Virgo Ascendant): Mercury is his ruler. Because Mercury is in Taurus, his thinking is quite stubborn. Pluto in Libra in the 1st House of Personality speaks of a willingness to go the extra mile when trying to keep the peace and harmony in Russia. It’s a strange dynamic, to be sure. But the revealing planet is Mars in Leo: he has an ego the size of an ocean. He’s not afraid of Putin, because even if Putin kills him, Navalny will have won, because he would then be a martyr for his cause.
