Questions people ask

What is Vladimir Putin's rashi?▾
Vrishabh, or Taurus, at every circulated birth time. Rashi here means his Moon sign, the sign the Moon occupied when he was born. The Moon stayed in Vrishabh for the whole of 7 October 1952. Vrishabh is the Moon's sign of exaltation, where it is at its strongest. About one chart in twelve has an exalted Moon.
What is Vladimir Putin's nakshatra?▾
Krittika at 9:30 am, the time this page uses, in its fourth pada, or quarter. A nakshatra is one of 27 equal stretches of the Moon's path. That day the Moon moved from Krittika into Rohini at 10:01 am, Moscow time. The times 2:47 am and 9:35 am also give Krittika. The afternoon times, 1:00, 4:10 and 4:35 pm, give Rohini. The Sun rules Krittika, and the Moon rules Rohini.
What is Vladimir Putin's lagna?▾
It is not settled: the six circulated times give five different rising signs. The lagna is the rising sign, the one on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth. At 9:30 am and 9:35 am it is Tula (Libra), which rose over Leningrad from 8:24 to 11:40 am. At 1:00 pm it is Vrishchik (Scorpio). At 4:10 pm it is Dhanu (Sagittarius), 15 minutes before Makar (Capricorn) rose at 4:25 pm. At 4:35 pm it is Makar. At 2:47 am it is Simha (Leo). With the hour this uncertain, the chart here, drawn at 9:30 am, names no houses.
How reliable is Vladimir Putin's birth time?▾
Not reliable. Its grade is DD: the circulated times disagree, and none has been checked against a record. Only the date and place are certain: 7 October 1952, in Leningrad, now Saint Petersburg. This page uses 9:30 am, Moscow time. That time comes from an email of 10 May 2000 to the astrologer Matthew Quellas. Its sender, Stef de Groot, ran a website called President Vladimir V. Putin. He said the time came from Putin's Soviet birth certificate. Astro-Databank has not seen that certificate. Its correspondents said Russian birth records do not give a time. A second time, 1:00 pm, is said to come from a private talk between Putin and a reporter. It reached astrologers at second hand, through the astrologer Boris Izraitel. The other times, 2:47 am, 9:35 am, 4:10 pm and 4:35 pm, are rectified. A rectified time is worked back from life events, not read from a record. Astrotheme also uses 9:30 am.
Does Vladimir Putin's Kundali have Budh Aditya Yoga?▾
Yes at 9:30 am, but not at every circulated time. The yoga joins Budh, Mercury, with Aditya, the Sun, in one sign. At 9:30 am both are in Kanya (Virgo), about 9 degrees apart. Mercury sits in the last degree of Kanya, its sign of exaltation, where it is at its strongest. But it is also combust, so close to the Sun that its glare is said to dim Mercury's strength. It moved on into Tula (Libra) at about 9:53 am. So 2:47 am and 9:35 am give the yoga too, and the afternoon times do not. Roughly every second chart has this yoga, so it is common.
