Birth data: 1986-01-04, unknown, Kyiv, Ukraine; Rodden rating X.

Kyrylo Budanov was born on January 4, 1986, in Kyiv. He headed the Main Directorate of Intelligence from 2020, became a lieutenant general in 2023 and in early 2026, at 39, became Head of the Office of the President. His birth time is not known, so the chart is cast for noon. Its tightest aspect ties Pluto to the axis of the lunar nodes, and the Sun in Capricorn belongs to a stellium with Venus and Neptune.

## What is known and what is not

Reuters in a factbox of February 6, 2023, Glavcom, Mind.ua and Wikidata all give the same date and city. Glavcom notes that little is publicly known about his childhood and parents, and Telegraf writes that he grew up in Darnytsia on Kyiv's left bank. The maternity hospital is not known, so the coordinates are those of the city centre.

None of the sources gives a birth time. In January 2023 UNIAN published an astrologer's reading of his "natal chart", but it describes traits only, with no time and no Ascendant. Neither Astro-Databank nor Astrotheme has a page for him. The chart therefore carries [Rodden rating](/en/methodology#rodden) X: time unknown.

The chart is cast for 12:00 Moscow Time (UTC+3), the time kept in Kyiv in January 1986. The USSR used daylight saving time by then, but only in summer, so on January 4 clocks were on standard time. The chart has no houses, Ascendant or MC; the section on [unknown birth times](/en/methodology#unknown-time) explains why.

The Moon's sign is known, though: the Moon stayed in Libra for the whole of January 4, 1986. Its degree and aspects are left out.

## Pluto on the nodal axis

The tightest major aspect in the chart is Pluto at 6°59′ Scorpio opposite the North Node at 6°40′ Taurus, with an orb of 0°18′ between Pluto and the Node. In other words Pluto sits almost exactly on the South Node. Neptune at 3°42′ Capricorn trines the North Node with an orb of 2°58′ and sextiles Pluto with an orb of 3°16′, so the slow planets are tied to the nodal axis by harmonious angles.

Pluto in Scorpio is in the sign it rules in the modern scheme. Astrologers read the nodal axis as a line of development: the South Node shows what has already been learned, the North Node the direction a person is drawn to grow in. Tradition links Pluto on the South Node with a feel for hidden matters and crises, and the North Node in Taurus with a need for stability. The article on the [opposition](/en/aspects/opposition) covers the tension of this angle in detail.

## Sun, Venus and Neptune in Capricorn

The Sun at 13°42′ Capricorn, Venus at 10°03′ Capricorn and Neptune at 3°42′ Capricorn make up a [stellium](/en/aspects/patterns/stellium). The Sun and Venus are conjunct with an orb of 3°39′.

Tradition associates Capricorn with discipline, hierarchy and a long road to a post of responsibility. Venus next to the Sun in this sign adds reserve in feelings and a serious attitude to duty, and Neptune early in Capricorn is traditionally read as intuition put to a practical aim.

## Mars in Scorpio

Mars at 12°37′ Scorpio is in a sign it rules in the classical scheme, where it is counted strong. The Sun makes a [sextile](/en/aspects/sextile) to Mars with an orb of 1°04′, and Venus sextiles Mars with an orb of 2°34′. Venus also sextiles Pluto with an orb of 3°03′, so the earthy Capricorn group is joined to watery Scorpio by several soft angles.

Tradition links Mars in Scorpio with stamina, focus and action that stays out of sight until the last moment. There is a sharper note too: Mercury at 27°47′ Sagittarius makes a [semi-square](/en/aspects/semisquare) to Mars with an orb of 0°10′, which in the traditional reading adds an edge to thought and speech.

## Sagittarius and Jupiter in Aquarius

The chart's second stellium falls in Sagittarius: Saturn at 5°30′ Sagittarius, Uranus at 19°41′ Sagittarius and Mercury. Jupiter at 18°58′ Aquarius sextiles Uranus with an orb of 0°42′, the second tightest major aspect in the chart.

Tradition connects Sagittarius with conviction and distant horizons, Uranus with sudden decisions and Aquarius with collective affairs. Astrologers read the Jupiter-Uranus sextile as readiness for unexpected openings and quick turns.
