4. The Iraq war of 2003

History

The Iraq war began on March 20, 2003 with the invasion of Iraq by the United States and United Kingdom which succeeded to change the regime and capture Saddam Hussein who was judged and executed by the new Iraqi government. The author makes an interesting and detailed analysis of the Iraq war and tries to find the reasons behind the decision of the US and UK to attack Iraq. He proves that the following arguments are not plausible:

1. Weapons of mass destruction, because the UN inspectors reported that they didn't find WMD in Iraq and also after the invasion there weren't any WMD.

2. The connection with terrorism, because Saddam was not in good relations with the Islamic fundamentalists (Shi'ites). Linking Iraq with terrorism and September 11, 2001 events was used by USA only to manipulate the American people and to create a popular mood to sustain the attack.

In conclusion, the only real reason was the USA interest in Iraq's oil reserves and the desire to control as much as it can the entire area. But, as the economist J.K. Galbraith said "it was the biggest misadventure in US history".

Astrological analysis

The relevant aspects are:

- the Solar eclipse from June 10, 2002 at 20 degrees in Gemini, which already was a ill omen being conjunct Saturn and opposed Pluto, fell on natal Mars (21 Gemini), House 7 (enemies) from US chart and on the Moon - Venus (19-20 Gemini) conjunction from Iraq natal chart in opposition with Saturn natal (20 Gemini);

- on the invasion period, Pluto was exactly 180 degrees the eclipse point (!), acting like a trigger for what the eclipse signified more than a half a year before;

- also transit Uranus conjunct US natal Moon;

- in the Iraq natal chart we can see transit Pluto (20 Sagittarius) conjunct natal Saturn (20 Sagittarius) and transit Saturn in conjunction with natal Moon - Venus (19-20 Gemini) and opposition with natal Saturn (20 Gemini). 

We can see that the astrological aspects mentioned are very close and very "appropriate" with what war means. This is a good example for synchronicity, if we think about C.G. Jung theory. 

5. Israel and the Six Day War of 1967

History

The Six Day War was fought on 5-10 June 1967 between Israel and his neighbours Egypt, Jordan and Syria. The war was a part of the continuous Arab-Israeli conflict and started with a surprising air strike against Egypt, which was very successful and provided Israel air supremacy during the war. Until June 10, 1967 Israel obtained an impressive victory against his three enemies and took control over the Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula, West Bank, East Jerusalem and Golan Heights. As a result Israel's territory had multiplied by 3!

Astrological analysis

The relevant aspects are:

- transit Jupiter (2 Leo) conjunct Israel natal Moon (4 Leo), the governor of the 10th house; a sign of good fortune;

- solar eclipse (18 Taurus) from May 9, 1967 in a large conjunction with Israel natal Sun (24 Taurus) and also in a large square with natal Mars (28 Leo), natal Saturn (16 Leo) and natal Pluto (13 Leo);
