Hi Rad and All,
A great one has just died. This is so sad and devastating to hear the news Navalny has died in prision.
For anyone who valued his courage and humanity as a fighter for democracy this is a loss that should make us all think and reflect ont he state of the world and what we can do, just as tiny it might be, to honour his Soul.
Rad i am reposting his chart and your comments that you posted on an older thread of the EA message board, that unfortunately came true. It seemes that transiting mars, his 8th house ruler and mars was also his skipped step, just finished things as it passed on the degree of the pluto transit you mentioned. We all hoped he would some way make it, but it happened again. So sorry to witness this. I have no words.
"His chart correlates to a kinda of ultimate no bullshit chart: confronting bullshit, corruption, and the need to expose such wherever he sees or experiences it. His soul has done this many previous prior lives, and has intended to do so coming into the current life. The inner intensity within his Soul has lead to having his lives end early in many of those lives because of an unwillingness to accept or alter his behavior relative to being 'limited' by external forces forces or authorities in any way: the Mars in square to his nodal axis which thus constitutes 'skipped steps' from an EA point of view.
We see all this yet again in his current life of course where the authorities, Putin, have even tried to kill him relative to the recent poisoning of him. All the times he has been jailed, etc. The current and ongoing transits to his natal chart correlate to extreme danger from Putin: the Uranus transit in his 8th on the S.Node and opposing his natal Uranus in the 2nd, and that Uranus transit squaring his natal Mars in the 11th. Within that the Pluto transit in opposition to his natal Saturn. There is another transit though that can help him survive which correlates to the Saturn transit that will start to form trines to his natal Pluto, and his Sun conjunct Venus.
As long as he stays in Russia it will all come down to Putin himself in terms of the decisions he makes concerning Navalny."
May God/dess Bless his soul,
Helena
Hi Helena,
Here is his natal chart with the transits at the moment of his passing which is reported to be at 2:17 pm, 2/16 in Kharp, Russia: 66N48, 65E48.
*************
So i wonder if this balsamic phase to pluto really means that an end has come in this life for a sense of personal martyrdom. He had his mars on the nn of netpune and the moon virgo in the 12th, and he did sacrifice himself to a better future where fighting for what one beliefs gave others Hope.
************
Yes, With his Uranus on his North Node in Scorpio his name because of this will be propelled into the future which is also symbolized by his Mars in the 11th in Leo squaring his Nodes. It is not uncommon when Uranus is on a North Node natally to have 'sudden endings' by the way.
***************
Wow... this is a lot considering the intensity of what was going on but i honestly think he did what his conscious had dictated, he left nothing to be done in that department although he did seem do have left his relationship with the family in a standstill, maybe that would come later as a skipped step?
************
His Soul will still carry forwards his ongoing lesson of learning about the nature of personal limiations that correlate with his own survival. Relative to his wife and kids we would need to look at their personal charts and the synastry with him to be able to determine if there are skipped steps with them.
God Bless, Rad
Here is an editorial opinion about him:
Opinion: Alexei Navalny and the fight to save Russian democracy
By the Editorial Board
When Alexei Navalny returned to Russia in 2021, after treatment abroad for a near-fatal poisoning by Russian government agents, he knew he would likely be imprisoned for his opposition to President Vladimir Putin. And he knew that, in Russia, a prison sentence could become a death sentence. Despite the risks, he went back to confront Mr. Putin’s deepening repression, and refused to be silent, even when he was sentenced to 19 years on trumped-up charges — which he was serving at a remote Russian penal colony in the Arctic. That is where Mr. Navalny died on Friday at the age of 47; we don’t know exactly how he met his end, but we know why. Mr. Putin bears responsibility.
The Kremlin leader has a taste for the trappings of wealth but only distaste for true political competition. After coming to power in 2000, he easily shoved aside wealthy oligarchs, muted the independent media and installed his own cronies as the new elite. But in later years, he faced in Mr. Navalny a true rival. Mr. Navalny summoned tens of thousands of people to the streets to protest the “party of crooks and thieves,” as he called Mr. Putin and his cadre of former KGB men. Mr. Navalny captured the hopes of many Russians to be a normal country — a democratic one.
Mr. Putin undoubtedly hopes that Mr. Navalny’s death not only eliminates an irrepressible, principled and courageous opponent, but also will squelch the aspirations he embodied for so many others: to live without fear from the state, to choose their leaders, to say and think what they believe, to make free choices in a free market and to travel the world. All of these liberties were denied in the Soviet Union, where Mr. Navalny was born; they were unleashed tentatively under the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, and then fully during the presidency of Boris Yeltsin, when Mr. Navalny came of age.
Yeltsin failed in one crucial respect, to establish the rule of law. Russia was thrust into an era of fierce oligarchic capitalism: wild, violent and corrupt. This profoundly shaped Mr. Navalny’s early career after law school, when he focused on fighting corruption by exposing it. He was also a youthful nationalist who campaigned against immigration to Russia from Central Asia and who took part in a march in Moscow that drew some extremists.
As Mr. Putin pushed Russia deeper into dictatorship, especially after the protests of 2011-2012, Mr. Navalny evolved into more of a champion of democracy and practical political action. His campaign for mayor of Moscow in 2013 displayed a flair for grass-roots mobilization. It spawned a national movement. Mr. Navalny pioneered Smart Voting, an app that challenged United Russia, the Kremlin-backed party, by helping voters find local candidates opposed to Mr. Putin’s party. Mr. Navalny and his associates also demonstrated extraordinary talent with video, creating a series of YouTube documentaries that exposed the lavish lifestyles of Mr. Putin and his elite. Even from his Arctic jail cell, Mr. Navalny just a few weeks ago proposed ways that millions of Russians could protest on the day of Russia’s upcoming presidential election, which Mr. Putin is certain to win without serious competition.
Through it all, Mr. Putin tried desperately to repress Mr. Navalny and his movement using censorship, subversion, arrests and the attempted poisoning of Mr. Navalny with the nerve agent Novichok while he was on a trip in central Russia in August 2020. Mr. Navalny survived and fought back with an incredible, steely determination. An Oscar-winning documentary film about his struggle shows him on the phone with one of the poisoning’s perpetrators — an officer of Russia’s Federal Security Service — coaxing the man into a devastating confession.
For all his personal suffering, Mr. Navalny never succumbed to despair or lost his mordant sense of humor. Trapped in solitary confinement in prison, he noted on X (formerly Twitter) that he was held in “a 2.5 x 3 meter concrete kennel.” Most of the time, these cells were cold and damp, he said, but “I got the beach version — it’s very hot and there’s almost no air.” He was often denied a pencil and paper but, in November, having been imprisoned for more than 1,000 days, he posted an appeal for Russians to read books about their own recent history.
Mr. Navalny’s death is a reminder to the United States and its allies that, in Mr. Putin, they are up against a ruthless foe whose primary method is to use force. Mr. Navalny’s death is an enormous loss to his family and friends, and to the ideal of a free and democratic Russia. But such ideals cannot be slain. Mr. Navalny’s legacy will be a never-ending struggle to realize them.
