Libra stellium in the 12th house, all in easy aspect with mars, neptune on mercury, Scorpio ascendent and Leo midheaven.
Mars is conjunct two interesting asteroids in his 2nd house of self values.
Truth and Bellona.
Bellona
In astrology, asteroid Bellona (#28) is associated with war, conflict, and assertive energy, reflecting the Roman goddess of war it’s named after. Its placement in a birth chart is said to indicate how an individual handles confrontation and asserts their will, often signifying courage, a refusal to back down, and bold action in the face of conflict.
He sees himself as a truthful, courageous and strong individual.
Notice the grand trine between Mars/Pluto and his name asteroid Vladimir.
Both mars and pluto rule his ascendent, perhaps overriding the peaceful libra stellium.
Moon in the intellectual air sign of gemini is not aspected in the chart.
His emotions are detached from the rest of his character and actions.
This moon shouldn’t be underestimated, it is currently being activated by the transiting uranus conjunction in grand trine with pluto and neptune.
He is intellectually stimulated, with sudden inspiration and change of thought thanks to uranus.
Venus in intense scorpio in the 1st house gives him a pleasing appearance and manner.
Venus rules the 7th house, the house of the “other”, so the uses his venus expressions to represent his people.
Venus in scorpio can exaggerate, and it is intense, so this expression can sometimes be out of balance with reality.
It trines uranus, ruler of his 4th of homeland.
This man will do just about anything for his country, and is a steel fist inside a velvet glove.
His progressed chart has venus almost conjunct North Node, achieving his goals.
Moon is now in ambitious Capricorn and exactly conjunct asteroid Truth.
Bellona is near venus, but is conjunct Chiron. His warrior actions will be painful for him.
Notice where Vladimir is now, squaring uranus in cancer in 7th (again, themes of home and homeland, his people), wanting to break free, get out, but uranus opposes the Bellona/Chiron conjunction. He is stuck.
Natal mars moved from a sextile to mercury and is now trine spiritual idealistic neptune.
He is fighting for a cause.
Pallas in the 2nd of values is between transiting NN and saturn. A compulsive need to reach his goal, his karma, standing firm.
Transiting jupiter on uranus has been giving him confidence and optimism, perhaps over much so, as it now opposes moon.
Here is a link to an earlier thread about Putin that has additional charts that might be helpful.
