An ugly page of history.
It is the one we all had to witness on worldwide television, from the Oval Office of the White House, a few days ago.
Personally, after watching various news programs, I was absolutely convinced that President Trump and his vice president J.D. Vance had organized a trap and a public lynching live from Washington. But I watched the entire film twice (49 minutes) of this small-big global tragedy and I didn’t miss a single second of it; I observed everything that happened with the utmost attention and I think that things are not like that because, objectively, President Trump was cordial, at the beginning of the chat, while President Zelensky was immediately aggressive and even offensive, several times. Of course, my political judgment, or even human judgment, on what happened is not important, but I wanted to clarify it because I started from a clearly opposite position.
Here I prefer to pass the word to the stars and leave my judgment as a man more aside.
Volodymyr Zelensky was born in Krivoj Rog, Ukraine (I pronounce Ucraìna and not Ukraina), on January 25, 1970, at 2:00 p.m. I believe that the time, net of the physiological rounding of a few minutes, is correct because it is classified as “A” on the Rodden scale, and because his history confirms it: he was an actor, in a professional sense, as both the Gemini Ascendant and three stars, including Jupiter, in the fifth House, well describe. Jupiter itself, cusp of the fifth/sixth House, brought him much success, even in politics. But his birth chart expresses two not insignificant stellar threats: a terrible triangle formed by the Sun, which is in quadrature with Jupiter and Saturn, and that position that I consider terrible, harmful, of Mars and Saturn in the same House, which for Solar Returns corresponds to my rule 34 and for birth charts is no less pernicious. In fact, the two malefics in the eleventh radix House mean or can also mean a “collapsing world consensus”. Forever.
Here I could not express myself differently: I believe that his political destiny is inescapably sealed.
In my opinion, reading these positions, together with the picture that the reading of his last Solar Return and his last Lunar Return offers us, we see, objectively, that he, net of his courage and his pain, as president of a people who defend themselves, has made a big mistake and on a diplomatic level his performance would deserve a 2 minus minus.
As I have already specified, however, it is not up to me to establish a historical judgment that will accompany him in the centuries to come, but the facts are facts and they speak to us exactly in the same direction as the stars.
Diplomacy is not an art, but an obligation that every politician who counts should pursue almost religiously.
And let’s see his RSM and his RLM that gave rise to such a personal and world tragedy.
In the chart you can see both his last Solar Return and his last Lunar Return, both in progress, and which marked this Caporetto.
Later I will explain how I can be almost certain that he was in Kiev, in both these returns.
The RS shows us a Mars in the tenth House and a stellium in the sixth House, that is a big violation of the 34 rules. Neptune on the cusp of the seventh was the special touch in this bad return, dazzling him, confusing him as much as possible in “a very important meeting”.
The Lunar Return was no exception and did the rest with a Mars in the twelfth House that according to some visually impaired astrologers “would make it grow” … The Sun and Mercury in the seventh and Uranus in the tenth completed the picture.
The transits?
Forget them. If some Sunday astrologer tells you that he has understood everything and that transits should be examined, then ask them to do as I did by publishing not hundreds, as I did, but at least 20/30 cases of dating of events relating to important and public figures and that can be explained by transits, outside of the RS+RL logic.
And the same goes for supporters of Sunday astrologers, especially those who believe that the ethics of each of us can be flexible, personal and not subject to dispute.
A bit like others who are also convinced that anyone with a good education can do self-analysis and not deep analysis (according to them, Freud and Jung were two amateurs in disarray).
Why am I convinced that Volodymyr Zelensky was in Kiev for both returns? I did some research, with the help of ChatGPT, but I didn’t stop at the latter’s statements and I “went to see”.
According to the most famous chatbot in existence today, President Zelensky was in Davon, Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, between January 21 and 24, 2025, for the World Economic Forum.
This is confirmed by three official and authoritative documents, but above all by this page which indicates the precise calendar of Zelensky’s trips in recent years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_presidential_trips_made_by_Volodymyr_Zelenskyy
To tell the truth, the Ukrainian president would have been there also at the time of the return, but I will explain why this is not the case.
His return took place at 22:32 in Kiev on January 24. Now we know for sure that he was in Kiev the next morning, January 25, because there he met with the President of Moldova, Maia Sandu. During this meeting, they discussed issues related to the energy crisis in Transnistria and other regional security issues.
Therefore, it is highly probable that Zelensky, who arrived in Davos on January 21 and not January 20, had already returned to Kiev on the evening of the 24th.
Regarding the February 13 RL, I don’t think there can be any doubt as we know that the President was in Kiev where he welcomed US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to discuss Ukraine’s resource potential and future economic partnerships.
Note: Some readers have pointed out to me that President Zelensky was born in 1978 and not 1970. I found this birth data online two years ago and it seemed reliable, but I will do some research to see if it is incorrect.

Can we understand from the birth chart whether the subject might have a weakness for the use of narcotic substances?
Of course, from a very prominent and damaged Neptune in the Natal Chart.
Dear Ciro,
This is a very accurate description of the situation, as always.
I hope readers of this blog appreciate the depth of your analysis and the technical precision of your research. 🙂
Dear Ciro,
I’m Malena, do you remember me?
a friend of mine that always who always follow you made this solar revolution for this year in Manama Bahrein.I would like to have your opinion about.
i was born on April 14 1960 h3,47 o 3,37 Bologna
Yes, I remember you and I also remember that in the past you have greatly criticized my advice. You also wanted to place, last year, the Mars-Saturn conjunction of SR in a House other than the third. If you were born at 3:37, the ASR you quote is not good. You should ask your friend to correct your birth time first and then calculate a good ASR.
Hello Ciro,
I was born on July 17, 1977 at 00:35 am in Avignon, I would like to protect my health because I will undergo a transit of Uranus on my natal Mars.
My Astral tells me that I must go to Jodhpur in India for my solar revolution (9 stars).
When do you think?
Thank you very much.
Have a good evening.
Virginie, if your birth data is really the ones you wrote, then I recommend you go slightly more west of the location you have indicated because there Jupiter is on 6/7 cusp, but Venus is not on 5/6 cusp.
Dear Ciro,
Thank you so much 🙏.
Good evening
Hi master Ciro,
I want to move in a location where my natal Venus is conj the ascendant,is a good position or is like in asr/alr where isnt worth because it can damage love affairs via 12th house?
In synthesis houses count in relocation charts or i simply choose the 4 angles?
Thank you and good wishes!
Arno,
in Relocation there are no Houses and only the four corners count.
Good morning Prof, Discepolo,
I am writing to you because I would like to know whether elements of extreme fatality can be found in a birth chart with travel. Let me explain in more detail.
I was born on 7 May 1987 at 04:25 am in the city of Acireale (CT).
My third house and my ninth house enjoy the presence of exuberant planets. In your experience I could risk losing my life travelling (plane, boat, car, etc.) Consider that it is one of my main passions
Thank you for your time
Martina, your birth conjunction Saturn-Uranus in the ninth house opposes Mars in the third house and this, in theory, could mean a travel-related accident and perhaps even a death by accident, but since everything that distresses us, we should filter it through the calculation of probabilities linked to the real facts of life and not to our anguish, then I would put road accidents, including being hit by a bicycle under the house in first place and plane accidents when we travel on scheduled flights in last place.
Dear Prof Discepolo,
How could I exorcise this third/ninth house axis?
For ASR, does the rule of placing Mars and Saturn in the third and ninth houses also apply in my case?
Thank you
I was born on 7 May 1987 at 04:25 am in the city of Acireale (CT).
Yes, Martina, this rule also applies to you and you will find many explanations on how to exorcise in my book “Active Astrology”.
If in a family there are Rs with 8 and 11, what identifies who is the family member who will die?
Thanks master
In our entire life we die only once and suffer major bereavements only once. So the right question might be: in relation to which close relative will I lose or gain money this year? In all my books, especially in the 6 volumes of the Blog, there are hundreds and hundreds of examples that help to reason in this way. In some of my books, such as the “New Treatise on Astrology”, there are exercises in which I explain bereavements that are important to me in the light of the stars of 10-15 close family members.
10-15 family members seem like a lot to me, not everyone has them
and do friends count for bereavements? how close should the friend be?
thanks Master
All people important to the subject.
master I saw in the book regarding your example on mourning, that when your mother died she had in rs violations of the 34 rules, but she did not have 8/11. so regarding the death of the subjects do you consider the violations of the 34 rules more deadly, compared to the 8/11 houses that instead appear in the rs of the relatives? thanks
Hello Ciro, hello everyone,
I would like to ask a question about the bistable character of houses 2,7,8. As you have shown, when these are intercepted they can act in two directions. I take economic houses 2,8 as an example: if we place a Sun or Jupiter we risk having money going out. But if it is necessary to have a good year, then we must keep it.
Comparing the two situations in a bad sr and a good targeted sr, can we say that the magnitude of the economic damage is less in the second case ? or that at least when the targeted sr is good the money that is spent is spent for purposes useful to the subject ?
I would imagine that in the context of a sr with bad 12th values having second/octave values also signals a financial loss (actually even a Mars in 12th could be enough for this, as you have shown). Conversely, if the sr is good and there are no signs of ‘anxiety’ (1,6,12) in it, could it indicate necessary expenses (for the house, for example, if we have 4th house values)
Personally, I remember an sr in which I had Venus in 8, which is positive for finances generally speaking, but also Mars and Uranus in 12: well, I had a sudden and unpleasant expense to incur. Some will say ‘But how, you had Venus in 8!’….beh they haven’t read your studies!
Thank you
Yes, Margherita, your summary is substantially correct and I would only add that it is very important to know the past history of a subject: someone who is lucky with money will always be lucky with money and vice versa.
Yes,You have always emphasised this peculiarity in your books. Thank you for repeating it!
Good afternoon, Maestro.
While using the birth chart search function to verify the chart of a lunar return in Almaty (thus setting the time of the return as the birth time), I realised that MyAstral uses the GMT +6 time zone for Almaty. Exactly a year ago, in March 2024, Kazakhstan, which used to be partly under GMT +6 and partly under GMT +5, shifted to the GMT +5 time zone for the whole country.
I believe this discrepancy in the time does not affect the automatic calculation of solar and lunar returns, which I believe are based on GMT time, but it does result in different charts for birth charts, and different local return times, which could be relevant should one want to leave right after their return.In this case, I resolved by setting the birth time as 18.30 instead of 17.30, so that I could have a chart for 12.30 GMT.
Thank you for everything.
Natalia.
Yes, Natalia, your analysis is correct. Let’s clarify a little for those who have not studied the topic in depth.
I remind everyone that MyAstral is based on the GALRO database, the most powerful and precise database of time regimes in the world. I worked personally – and alone – on this immense work when I created Aladino, the youngest son of MyAstral. This was an immense work, but it gave me a lot of satisfaction. To put it in context, I consulted the many books in circulation on the subject: Le Corre, Gabriel, Michelsen, Schneider Gauquelin, and many others.
But, despite this, despite years of work, there were still enormous grey areas for which I did research by interfacing with colleagues from all over the world: from Australia to the United States, from Europe to Asia and so on.
In addition to this, I also did two very advanced exclusive and specific studies that today would make me sweat coldly just thinking about them: the chronology of the acquisition of the time zone of occupied France, day after day and month after month, by the German troops who also imposed the time regime of the double war time of Berlin and the no less “devastating” study of the reconstruction of the famous Gothic Line in Italy, always for the purposes of time regimes.
I also sent these last two pearls to an international institute that deals only with this: the then director published them and assigned my name to the study of the Italian situation while he attributed the paternity of the French one to himself… (it still happens today for various parts of my books that some cite as their own, clumsily).
In short, in the end I baptized this creature GALRO and made it become one of the main parts first of Aladino and then of MyAstral.
I hope you are following me up to this point.
I later implemented this database in the current Google Maps search system where it is possible to find out the time of a point on the map, even with large enlargements.
Yes, but it is based on the current time. How did we historicize this data then? I proposed my idea to the excellent Stefano Briganti who also followed me in this adventure and created the currently existing upgrade: the data read by Maps is compared with that of GALRO and, if the two times do not coincide, MyAstral “proves GALRO right and takes that time”.
As you can understand, from a historical point of view, MyAstral is the most precise software in the world and what I say I can prove in any place!
Now, as you observed, Natalia, when we calculate an Aimed Solar Return or an Aimed Lunar Return this problem does not arise at all because for this type of calculation it is only necessary to know the GMT and the longitude of the place considered.
Instead, for the natal skies, the problem does not arise for historical data, but it arises, as you observed, for the present and especially for the future: in fact we cannot know what time zones will be applied in Russia, for example, in the next few years… Just think that currently Poland, for reasons of political-commercial convenience, has the same time zone as Italy and this is quite “strange”…
Therefore, it is certainly possible to use the economical “light subscription” of a few euros per month to erect only natal charts, treating a SR or LR sky as if it were a natal sky, but then having the foresight to insert the correct delta with the GMT, a delta that any search engine on the web can provide you. Just like you did.
Good work everyone!
master where is the list of all your solar returns year by year? Thanks
On social media, in my 2 blogs, in over 150 books…
How to read a fifth house in the rs if you are childless and single? Is it true that you have to read it like you in regard of your parents?
No, that’s not true. The fifth House is our children, our loves and our passions. Even sports or travel or cinema can be our fifth House.
If I start a legal battle, don’t know now if in front of a judge or not, when I have Jupiter in 7th house of sr, if I get the same in the next year, it ends bad?
In Italy, legal battles can last even 20-30 years: it is practically impossible to attempt a winning strategy through Active Astrology. If we knew for sure the year in which there will be a sentence, then we should try to place a Venus in the seventh House or even Jupiter, if that year things are going badly in a legal sense. But, as I was saying, this is impossible in a country where there can be even fifteen-twenty degrees of judgment.
Good morning Maestro,
I take advantage of this last question you were asked, because I also have a curiosity about the seventh house. If, for example, the subject wants to resolve a suspended question with someone (in a personal or work relationship), even by arguing about it, in your astrological opinion, what would be the best configuration to look at?
Certainly good sr/lr are fundamental : but besides that, if the subject wants to open discussion and make his opinion heard, which lr should he have ? One with venus or jupiter in seventh or ascendant?
Margherita, it seems to me that there is a contradiction in your question. You say “to resolve a relationship with someone, even arguing”: here it doesn’t take much effort and even a Mars in the seventh House can work well. But then you add: “if the subject wants to make his opinion heard”: this is much more difficult and here it would be necessary to follow the rules that you already know, especially excellent values of the seventh, eleventh and also tenth House.
Good morning Ciro,
today, if you will allow me, I would like to ask you a general question about astrocartography, a branch that your studies have greatly enhanced.
You suggest moving to a place where the stars are favorable. You have shown, typical is the case of Maradona with his jupiter in the asc (if I am not mistaken) in Naples, the reasons for his success
I would just like to ask you if this can be considered a fatality, in the absence of astrological knowledge.
If the person decides to go and live abroad, without knowing anything about astrocartography, will he or she be ‘drawn’ to cities where there are conjunctions of planets at the angles? and if he or she chooses a city that is neutral in this respect, do you think he or she would be able to settle, or is it the presence and influence of a planet that determines the attachment? Thank you very much
Margherita, in my opinion, one of the laws that govern life in the universe is the law of resonance. If you move the knob of the variable capacitor on a small crystal radio, when you intercept a radio frequency that can be picked up in that place, you hear music! If, on the contrary, where you are, transmissions are impeded by geographical obstacles, for example high mountains, you will not be able to hear any music.
In the same way, if you decide to go and live in a certain city in the world, without knowing astro-geography, you will be able to “full” and, taking, for example, a magnificent Jupiter in the Midheaven or Ascendant of that place, you will become mayor of that city.
But proceeding in this way, you could find yourself in Boston when the Boston Strangler was acting and, if in your sky relocated for that city, there is – let’s say – Mars in the Ascendant, then…
It is always, above all, a question of resonance.
