Since the Russian Special Military Operation began in Ukraine, the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been thrust into the limelight. Depending on who one asks, Zelenskyy is variously seen as a hero of democracy, a puppet leader, a coke-head (and that is not Coca Cola) or a grifter. He started his career as a stand-up comedian and actor, most famous for his role in the Ukrainian TV series, Servant of the People<\/em>, where he played a teacher who was thrust into the position of the president of the country \u2013 a case of life imitating art. And now he is thrust into the role of his life. Just who is Zelenskyy, though? Astrology gives us some clues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy<\/span><\/a> was born to Jewish parents on 25 January 1978 in Kryvyi Rih, then in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, at 14:00 local time<\/a><\/span>. The fact of his Jewish heritage has some bearing, as will be outlined later in this piece. His chart is below (bigger<\/a><\/span>):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This chart has all the hallmarks of a personality in the entertainment industry \u2013 or a politician, as there is often a blurring of boundaries between the two. Here we distinguish between a politician and a statesman. Statesmen have different astrology to that of politicians. We see Jupiter on the ascendant in the first house, and in a \u2018Gauquelin sector<\/a><\/span>\u2019, with Jupiter in such a placement indicating a tendency toward employment in the entertainment industry. Politics is often seen in the same light, as being all for show and about personalities rather than substance and issues. Regarding Gauquelin\u2019s sectors, we have:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the Gauquelin plus zones straddles what astrologers call the ascendant or rising sign on the birth chart\u2019s eastern horizon. Another hugs what astronomers call the meridian plane and astrologers refer to as the midheaven. Traditionally, planets posited near these \u201cangles\u201d in a birth chart are believed to express their influence more powerfully in the individual\u2019s life. Gauquelin had similar success correlating other professions with the planets traditionally identified with them. For example, Mars turned up in the plus zones for elite athletes, Saturn was there for scientists, the Moon for writers<\/strong> and Jupiter for actors and politicians<\/em><\/strong>. The significance level for some of these correlations was also in the millions to one chance level. However, this result applied only to eminent professionals and elite athletes and was not present in the birth charts of ordinary athletes or professionals<\/em> who were not eminent in their fields, which gave critics some contentious talking points.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously, Zelenskyy is eminent in his field, having now become an internationally recognized figure. The other indications of acting and public appeal in his chart are the Sun\/Venus conjunction in Aquarius in the 9th<\/sup> house (universal and international status), Neptune conjunct the Descendant in the 6th<\/sup> house and Gemini rising, giving his ease in communicating, his speaking skills and his ability as a mouthpiece for his culture. Jupiter is sextile to Saturn, a wealth-building aspect, and he has managed to amass quite a fortune, albeit under questionable means (to be addressed shortly).<\/span><\/p>\n

Neptune deserves more of a mention here, too, regarding entertainment and politics. Neptune figures very strongly in politics, as electoral politics is all about public opinion (normally emotionally motivated), the image a politician projects, the image the public has of the politician, the lies often associated with politicians and the allure the candidate is able to project. To have Neptune on an angle is a powerful placement for anyone in political life. In Zelenskyy\u2019s case his Neptune is sextile Pluto and trine his Leo Moon, the latter also giving him the self-confidence he needs to be on the stage, whether political or in media. All the preceding marks him as a magnetic personality with public appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n

If we were to examine the \u2018standard\u2019 planets only (the Sun through Pluto), then the chart on the surface points to a very likeable figure and as one able to garner great public acclaim, which he has done. That said, we have yet to examine the midpoints and outer (dwarf) planets.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a couple of midpoints worth mentioning, and in any public figure the aspects and midpoints to the angles are most important. The midpoint Asc=Jup\/Nep can work one of two ways and often both ways \u2013 as a very fertile imagination, or as a person who lives in a perpetual state of unreality. It can also point to speculators, depending on other factors present:<\/span><\/p>\n
