Vladimir Putin, considered one of the most powerful men in the world, has ruled Russia for an extended period. He is sometimes loved, currently hated, and has a reputation as a strict, militaristic leader who achieves his objectives and invades desired countries. Let's analyse Vladimir Putin's astrological horoscope to understand his mindset and actions.

Firstly, he began his career as a spy in the KGB, working for the government. Spies typically have a strong 8th house along with Ketu. In his chart, he has an exalted Moon in the 8th house, whose lord is in the ascendant, while Ketu is in the 10th house. This combination indicates his secretive nature and his tendency to operate in a shadowy manner. The simultaneous relationship of the three benefics (Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter) with the ascendant makes a person powerful and prevents downfall. The exchange between Jupiter and Mars in each other's zodiac signs contributes to his cruel and militaristic nature.

Vladimir Putin having a Libra ascendant with Venus and Mercury in it, along with the aspect of an exalted Moon in the 2nd house, has helped him attain the status of one of the wealthiest people in the world, demonstrating his understanding of trade and business. Putin's ascendant lord with the 9th and 12th lords enables him to operate globally. However, the source of a politician's immense wealth, beyond their established annual income, is often questioned. In his case, the 2nd lord in the 3rd house (8th from the 8th) and the 11th lord in the 12th house both suggest income from hidden sources.

Vladimir attained power through politics due to the placement of the 5th lord, Saturn, with the 11th lord, Sun, in the 12th house. Saturn sits in Chitra Nakshatra, ruled by Mars, who is the 7th lord of status and influence. He exerts tremendous control and influence over the people of Russia, which is reflected in the strength of his 7th and 4th houses. Rahu sitting in the 4th house indicates a high level of material living and the power to manipulate the public. Jupiter in the 7th house in Aries and being retrograde makes him an intense and powerful leader, but he rules through fear and militaristic means, with the 7th lord Mars in the 3rd house of daring and courage. Mars sitting in Moola Nakshatra makes Vladimir Putin unhesitating in killing and destroying to achieve his goals.

Vladimir Putin came into power at the end of Jupiter's Mahadasha, who is the 6th lord of politics and competition, positioned in the 7th house of the public, with an aspect from the Malavya Mahapurusha Yoga (Venus and 9th lord Mercury). He has spent most of his time as a powerful leader during the Saturn Mahadasha, as Saturn is a yogakaraka for a Libra ascendant. Vladimir Putin began his Mercury Mahadasha in 2020. Mercury, being the 9th and 12th lord in the ascendant with the Malavya Yoga Venus, will make him even more powerful in the times to come.

Currently, Putin is running Venus Antardasha within Mercury Mahadasha, suggesting that he may contemplate diplomatic actions in the future, as Venus sits in Swati Nakshatra, where he could potentially learn empathy. However, this Venus is aspected by Jupiter from Aries, refocusing his thoughts on continuing with invasions.
