Alexander Lukashenko (August 30, 1954)

Up until this past week, the world saw this man as merely Putin’s puppet. Now, a new sense of awareness is coming. Alexander Lukashenko has risen to the challenge and seemingly pulled off the impossible: he saved Yevgeny Prigozhin’s life and shown Vladimir Putin to be much weaker than we thought possible.

But what do we really know about Lukashenko? Let’s look at his (rectified) birth chart, shall we?

I’m not sure what markers this rectification was based on, but I suspect it might have been the Yod pointing at the Midheaven. Those two inconjuncts may explain everything.

Moon Inconjunct Midheaven

With this aspect you must learn to make your emotional needs and desires for pleasure fit in with your growth and development in the world. It is possible that these problems could make it difficult for you to choose a profession or a course that would give your life a sense of purpose. Or you may be unable to follow one path consistently. In other words, your emotional needs may be in conflict with your long-range goals. You may know what you have to do, but not feel much like doing it. Or your feelings may actually color your perceptions so much that you really do not see what has to be done. Try not to form bad habits, because they are especially likely to create difficulties of this sort.

Uranus Inconjunct Midheaven

You need to express your thoughts and feelings, but you often upset the people around you with your words. You seem to enjoy creating a stir every time you say something, but this can get you into quite a bit of trouble with authority figures. The underlying principle of this aspect is the need to balance your individual self-expression and manner of communicating with your need to learn and grow under the guidance of other people.

Hmm.

Hmm, again.

Here is How These Three Leaders are Connected (and Balanced)

I put Lukashenko’s chart in the middle between Putin’s and Prigozhin’s. It is a visual aid to see how Lukashenko is central to both parties. Consider this recent news item:

Now, on its own, this doesn’t sound like anything more than a threat against NATO. But, think about it: Belarus now has the means to threaten Russia, as well. It may not have been one of Putin’s smartest moves. Now, with the agreement (treaty) brokered by Lukashenko, Prigozhin has been ‘exiled’ to Belarus, where he could be a useful ally to Lukashenko. It could also be a launching point for Prigozhin to challenge Putin’s reign from a short distance away. If you watched the video from “Ellie Dreams Down Under” you will have seen that Putin is now weaker and Prigozhin is now stronger. Maybe that’s all he really wanted: to take over Putin’s ‘throne’ in the Kremlin. But he will need the support of the people of Russia to do so. And he will need to stay alive. Lukashenko has handed him that last option.
