ASTROLOGICAL FORECASTS

The Leaders of the Countries of the CIS

No horoscope was prepared for the president of Ukraine, since his
identity was not known at press time.

Askar Akaev This leader is not interested in flashy appearances, but
he has great internal strength at his command. Water is the dominant
element in his chart. The conjunction of the Sun and Mars in Scorpio
characterizes him as outwardly unaggressive but capable of decisive
and harsh defense. Autumn will be the most difficult time for
Scorpions in 2005. For Akaev, that will be the first days of
September, the end of October, and then January 2006 again.
Nonetheless, nothing should seriously threaten the Kyrgyz leader’s
authority.

Ilkham Aliev He can be characterized as a somewhat harsh and
conservative person, but highly law-abiding. He has not only his Sun
in Capricorn, but Mercury and Saturn as well. Because of the position
of the Moon, he may do more than he wants. He has high energy in
general. It is possible that the Azerbaijani president will
experience an increased interest in women (due to the position of
Venus). Psychological and legal problems are most likely to occur in
July.

Vladimir Voronin The elements of earth and air and expressed in the
horoscope of this politician. Therefore, he makes decisions, or tries
to at least, governed by logic and not emotion. Nonetheless, because
of his birth just before the New Moon, his mind can sometimes betray
him and he can unwittingly be party to the successes of dark forces.
He can hardly be called free of conflicts. In 2005, the planets are
for the most part harmonious in Voronin’s chart. Therefore, he may be
able to achieve success and strengthen his position. Complications
(not necessarily political) are possible in the last days of
February, and in September and October. In Moldova itself,
complications are possible in April.

Islam Karimov Here we see the democratic Aquarius contradictorily
place against the old waning Moon. The conjunction of Mars and Saturn
can hinder this politician. When he needs to act decisively, he is
slow; and when he needs to obey the law, he resorts to violence. In
addition, he is liable to external contradictions. In 2005, the
Uzbekistani leader may have difficulties beginning in the middle of
August and meet with the most complex situations at the end of
October and in November.

Robert Kocharyan His horoscope is practically evenly divided between
harmonious and conflicting aspects. It lacks a certain finality.
Therefore, he needs appropriate partners. He is an analyst and makes
decision only after analyzing all the information. He is capable of
firmness and bravery. The strong presence of Mercury, Venus and Mars
in his horoscope vouches for this. Changes in his fate may take place
in April and September-October, under the influence of eclipses.
Those changes may be for the better or worse. Comparing the charts of
Aliev and Kocharyan, the very harshest aspects can be seen that
threaten direct conflict, as well as aspects that allow the two
presidents to understand each other, if they choose to.

Aleksandr Lukashenko The Belarusian and Armenian presidents were born
only one day apart, and without knowing the exact times of birth,
their charts come out with very similar characteristics. Here we
again see an analytical mind, a comprehension of aesthetics, firmness
of purpose and defense of one’s own interests. Legal problems and
issues of status may occur for Lukashenko in April, at the end of
summer and beginning of fall. In addition, Lukashenko may become
aggressive or come into danger in February.

Nursultan Nazabaev Only harmonious and creative aspects are to be
seen in the Kazakh leader’s chart. Problems avoid him. A New Moon
characterizes him as a rather progressive person who is oriented
towards things new. There is the emotionality of water in his chart,
the vigor of fire and the practicality of earth in his chart, but the
democracy of air is missing. In 2005, Nazarbaev will have to cope
with various problems. At the end of July and in August, his plans
for action may be legally blocked. The middle of November will be a
hard time for him.

Saparmurat Niyazov Usually the Aquarius loves freedom. But here we
see four planets in the element fire and three planets in earth. That
is the reason why the Turkmen leader is not more democratic, even by
the standards of the former Soviet Union. There are no eclipse or any
other aspects in Niyazov’s horoscope for most of the year, so there
is no reason to think that he will lead his country toward admission
to the European Union this year either. Things will remain unchanged,
although some sort of cataclysms may be possible in November.

Emomali Rakhmonov His horoscope is reminiscent of Putin’s. There is a
difference of only two days. For most of the year, Jupiter will be in
Libra, which is favorable for the Tajikistani leader, just as it is
for the Russian. His sphere of influence may broaden and his
authority increase. Complications arise only in fall, in September
and October. The eclipse of the Sun on October 3 will bring
substantial changes in the politician’s life.

Mikhail Saakashvili The young Georgian president’s chart is harsh.
His knows how to fight and to achieve his goals. His emotions can
draw him into conflicts. The general energy of the planets in his
chart is not very high. But he is fully capable of facing the
difficulties that stand before him in 2005. The most difficult months
for him will be April, August and November. If he makes it through
those dangerous periods, Georgia will not be threatened with
adversity.
