"When Saturn is approaching the North Node the person will begin to sense that something is about to change and more often than not, it's a feeling that "something positive is about to happen". This is usually a time of recognition in one's work and professional life, this is if the person is working toward a goal and has built a foundation on which they can build. The person generally feels pressure to make something happen.
They may evaluate all they have done and all of their talents, what they enjoy and how to put it all together. Saturn is the builder of solid structures and although he is tough he makes accomplishments possible through our own efforts and hard work....Even if you are the 'shyest of them all' and crave no- "worldly success" (for the case of the North Node in the 4th house this would fit just fine) for worldly success was likely already accomplished) but otherwise wherever your North Node may lie, you will need to use your talents, gifts and experience from your South Node to move towards your North Node....Saturn shows you all that you are lacking, he makes you focused, he chills the air it's cool, calm and you can focus, there is clarity! You're ready to take the leap, you're not afraid. You will do it. With the help of Saturn you will be able to make things happen even if it's slow progress it's steady and it's focused. "

"he's become mentally unbalanced."
Do you have evidence of this?
Please don't just say he invaded the Ukraine, because he had reasons for doing this, which he explained, very coherently.
I have to align with the Traditionalistic view of Saturn as the Greater Malefic. The book "Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil", by Liz Greene, first published in 1976, appears to be the only reason for the Modernistic view that Saturn is the "wise teacher". Threatening nuclear war in regard to a regional conflict is INSANE, like the ancient myths say Saturn became due to his fear of losing power and authority.
None of Putin's "reasons" explain attacking Kiev and destroying Mariupal. That included killing many of his own people. And, his reasons aren't necessarily valid to begin with, unless you completely believe his own, completely nonobjective supporters. One of his supporters, the VERY influential Patriarchal head of the Russian Orthodox Church in Russia, where Putin attends services, came right out and said it was to defend Russia against Western immorality, especially its tolerance and acceptance of homosexuality as a lifestyle. That embarrassed those of his supporters who claim it's strictly to prevent the Ukraine from joining NATO, to destroy unproven and debunked U.S. "bioweapons labs", and to root out an infestation of Nazis, who weren't even part of the Ukraine parliament.
Or, you can blame it all on Hunter Biden's laptop and Hillary's emails. I'm blaming it on especially extreme Saturnian influence on Putin's natal chart.
