The death of Tsarevich Dmitry remained a mystery. Was she a murder, an accident, or a child, as they talked about among the people, was it really a substitute? The answers to these questions are in our astrological detective historian.
Exiled child
Tsarevich Dmitry, the last son of Ivan the Terrible, was born in Moscow on October 29, 1582 at 07 hours 58 minutes local time. He was not conceived in love. After the mysterious disappearance of the sixth wife of Ivan IV, Natalia Korostova, from the royal palace, the tsar soon decided to marry again. Prince Odoevsky, who was passing through Moscow, painted to Ivan the Terrible the beauty of the hawthorn Maria Nagoya in bright colors. John was so carried away by this description that he ordered Naked and his entire family to be immediately discharged to Moscow.
Odoevsky was not lying; Maria Nagaya was indeed the ideal of the Russian beauty. Tall, slender, with large expressive eyes and a thick braid below the waist, she captivated everyone who had to see her. But Mary was betrothed. She had long and mutually loved the son of one of the boyars who lived next door to the Nagikh estate. When the girl was taken to Moscow by the tsarist order, she cried, tore her hair, begged to kill her, but not to be separated from her fiance …
Soon the wedding was celebrated. A few weeks later, as a harbinger of future trouble, tragedy broke out in the Kremlin. In a fit of sudden anger, Ivan the Terrible struck his eldest son, heir to the throne John, with a staff in the temple. Two days later, John Ioannovich died.
A sudden change took place in the king: bouts of inexplicable anger became more frequent. During one of them, the king kicked the pregnant wife of his recently deceased son John in the stomach and thereby deprived himself not only of his son, but also of his grandson.
After that, lust suddenly flared up in the king. He decided to woo a relative of the English queen, Anna Hamilton, but it was not fated - March 18, 1854, Ivan the Terrible died.

In his will, he gave his youngest son Dmitry a separate principality with the capital in Uglich. In 1584, shortly after the death of the tsar, Maria Nagaya, together with her son Dmitry, left for Uglich.
Naked was the seventh hen of Ivan the Terrible. Their marriage, according to the canons of the Russian Orthodox Church, could not be considered legal (Orthodoxy recognizes only three marriages).
It turns out that Dmitry, as an illegitimate child, should have been called not "tsarevich", but "appanage prince." However, he went down in history as “Tsarevich Dmitry.
There are many known cases when the early childhood of the sovereign led to unrest. It should be noted here that from the age of seven Dmitry felt like a future sovereign. The boy inherited from his father cruelty, irascibility and unbridled character. For example, the prince often ordered to sculpt human figures out of snow or carve out of wood. Each of them he assigned the name of one of the Moscow boyars. Moreover, the first was always the figurine of Tsar Boris Godunov. Then Dmitry cut off their limbs and heads, saying: "With this I will act like this, and with this I will do this."
On May 15, 1591 in Uglich in the middle of the day the alarm sounded. A crowd gathered in the Kremlin courtyard, staring in horror at the lifeless body of a child with a wound in his throat. Tsarevich Dmitry was dead.
The circle of suspects
The tragedy broke out around noon on a Saturday afternoon. The Uglich Kremlin was empty, its inhabitants were preparing for dinner. Dmitry was in the courtyard. The clerks and clerks of the Local Order carefully identified all the witnesses of the incident. The Tsarevich played with four boys under the supervision of mother Vasilisa Volokhova, wet nurse Arina Tuchkova and bed-bed Maria Kolobova.
The boys were playing with a knife at "butt". The game consisted in getting a knife into a circle outlined on the ground, and the knife was held in a certain way. The turn came to throw a knife to Dmitry … Suddenly the son of the bed-woman ran into the palace, shouting that the prince was dead. Everyone rushed to the courtyard. Mother, Maria Nagaya, snatched from the hands of Arina Tuchkova the body of her already dead son.
The tsarina, beating mother Volokhova with a log, “instructed her, Vasilisa, to say that her son Osip and the son of Bityagovsky and Mikitka Kachalov had killed Tsarevich Dmitry”.
The people gathered in the square, fueled by the Nagimi brothers, tore the boys' fathers - boyar Mikhail Bityagovsky and his assistants Nikita Kachalov and Danila Tretyakov (later the commission of inquiry established a complete alibi of all servicemen killed in the square).
The testimony of the boys who played with the prince was given exceptional importance. They described what had happened in some detail and extremely unanimously: “The prince was playing with a knife with us in the backyard, and an illness came to him - a falling illness - and he threw himself on the knife.” The adults confirmed: “Yes, at that time, as he was beaten, he stabbed himself with a knife and therefore died.”
The commission of inquiry, having analyzed the testimony of witnesses and taking into account the disease of the prince, came to the conclusion: "an accident during an attack of epilepsy." On June 2, 1591, the Boyar Duma announced: "For Tsarevich Dmitry, death was caused by God's judgment."
But the matter did not end there. Versions about the true cause of death (or disappearance?) Of Tsarevich Dmitry have arisen and are still emerging.
In theory, the murder of the prince was beneficial to Vasily Shuisky. But thirteen years later, Shuisky recognized the "murdered Tsarevich Dmitry" in False Dmitry. And the mother, Maria Nagaya, also recognized her son in False Dmitry.
According to the historian V. Kobrin, Dmitry was killed on the orders of Boris Godunov, and the killers deliberately gave the boy a knife during the game and patiently waited for the prince, but during an epileptic seizure, to stab him. And the historian Kobrin even calls the name of the murderer - mother of Vasilisa Volokhova. The last seizure of epilepsy before his death lasted for two consecutive days. He bit the hands of mothers and nannies, who were trying to hold the boy's body, arching in convulsions.
But let's look at the circumstances of death through the eyes of doctors. Psychiatrists E. Barinov and V. Pryadil-shchikov write: “In medical practice there are often cases of epileptic seizures when patients are caught in the most unexpected place. Often, epileptics inflict rather severe bodily harm on themselves when they hit the ground or surrounding objects. But then the same authors assert: “Medical practice has never recorded a death similar to the death of Tsarevich Dmitry. Yes, patients with epilepsy often get injured during seizures, but none of them was injured by a knife clenched in their own hand!
Resurrected prince
In 1598, Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich died, his widow Irina Godunova went to a monastery, and Boris Godunov, who had actually ruled for a long time, was "called out" by the tsar. But less than two years later, rumors spread among the people that Tsarevich Dmitry was alive and hiding in Poland. At this time, a young man actually appeared in the Commonwealth, declaring that he was the miraculously saved Dmitry. As proof, he presented to the Polish king Sigismund the tsarevich's cross decorated with diamonds, which he received at his baptism. The young man was recognized by Tsarevich Dmitry and supported by the Polish voivode Mni-shek, to whose daughter, the beautiful Marina, he wooed.
In the fall of 1604, the tsarevich crossed the Russian border with a detachment of three thousand people, a few days later this detachment took the perfectly fortified Chernigov without a single shot. Russian border towns welcomed Dmitry. Cossacks and peasants joined his detachment, the troops of Boris Godunov went over to his side. On April 13, 1605, Godunov died suddenly. Many saw this as a "sign of God." And Dmitry began his movement towards Moscow, which turned into a triumphal procession. Vasily Shuisky said that in Uglich, a priest's son who looked like the prince was killed, and the prince himself escaped.
On June 20, the young tsar solemnly entered Moscow. And on June 18 he met with his mother, Maria Naga. Under the joyful tears of the people, Dmitry put his mother in a magnificent cart, and he himself walked for several miles next to his bare head.
On July 30, 1605, Dmitry was solemnly married to the kingdom.
Through the prism of the stars
History does not tolerate categorical statements, It accepts only a comprehensive analysis of facts and circumstances.
Today, there is not enough information confirming whether Dmitry, who was crowned king in 1605, was a legitimate king or not. However, astrology can provide answers to those questions that remain a mystery in historiography.
In the horoscope of Tsarevich Dmitry, the Sun is in the Twelfth House, and this is an indicator of exile, exile, loneliness, and violent isolation. In the Eighth zodiac house he has Mars in conjunction with Neptune in the sign of Cancer - an indication of serious hereditary diseases, death from which does not happen, however, unexpected. In addition, Mars in the sign of Cancer is “in decline”, which excludes the possibility of suicide and indicates the ability to avoid danger. The conjunction of Mars with Neptune gives an inner, intuitive sense of impending disaster.
The conjunction of Mars with Neptune in Cancer is also bad genetics (epilepsy, which Tsarevich Dmitry suffered, indeed, as scientists proved, was a consequence of syphilis, which his father, Ivan the Terrible, suffered). The sun conjunct Mercury in Scorpio, in the Twelfth House, endows a person with a very deep, emotional intelligence. Jupiter in the sign of Aquarius speaks of the possibility of the rise and popularity of such a person in Russia (after all, Russia is under the sign of Aquarius).
An objective analysis of the short reign of Dmitry Ioannovich characterizes him as a man of rare intelligence, inclined to reform. Indeed, his reign is one of the few bright periods in the history of Russia. If Dmitry had stayed in power, we would have had a strong European state long before Peter the Great. Dmitry was present every day in the Duma, which he transformed into the Senate, where he himself dealt with cases. Twice a week, the tsar received petitions, and anyone could personally explain to the sovereign.
Dmitry's cherished dream was a campaign against the Turks and the liberation of Byzantium, which he wanted to carry out in alliance with other European states. He also abolished hereditary bondage: in the event of the death of the owner, the slave became free.
On May 17, 1606, Dmitry's wedding with the Polish beauty Marina Mnishek was scheduled. If we proceed from the data of the horoscope of Tsarevich Dmitry, then it was at this time that the Sun went along the Seventh Zodiac House of his horoscope, which is primarily responsible for family and marriage issues. But in the horoscope of Tsarevich Dmitry, the Black Moon (an indicator of negative karma) is in the sign of Libra, which in astrology is symbolically associated with marital relations. That is, in this case, we can say that for Dmitry his marriage partner became a source of evil.
Indeed, on May 17, 1606, exactly on the day of Dmitry's wedding, Shuisky, who was striving for power, raised a riot. The conspirators broke into the royal chambers. Dmitry tried to run, jumped out of the window, but broke his leg; was captured and shot. His body was burned, a cannon was loaded with ashes and fired towards Poland. The three-year-old son of Dmitry and Marina Mnishek, Ivan, was hanged so that he would not claim the royal throne when he grew up. The executioner carried the baby to the gallows wrapped in a fur coat, put the head in a loop and strangled him.
So, the astrological examination showed that the stellar features of Tsarevich Dmitry fully correspond to the character traits and fate of the Russian Tsar, who remained in history with the offensive prefix “false”. According to the testimony of the planets, the son of Ivan the Terrible should not have died in infancy, black karma would have overtaken him only upon marriage. This means that the prince was indeed replaced, which, with the help of relatives, could well have organized Maria Nagaya, who feared for the life of her son.
