Introduction
This article researches the astrological aspects that were,
and are currently, present in Israel’s
horoscope, between 1956-2006, when it was, and is, at war.
Update
In Astrology Predictions
2006 published on this website, dated 6 May 2006, I wrote: “In
the last week of June
2006 transiting Mars
in Leo will conjunct the Israel
Pluto and Saturn, at 130 and 160 Leo
respectively! This
may be interpreted as “the necessity to fight for one’s existence,
assault,
even war”.
Predictions for 2006
Israel
Israel
became into being on 14 May 1948. Tel Aviv.
The time I am usiing is 4:06pm, EET.
Between
21 July and 17 October 2006
transiting Pluto in Sagittarius
will be opposition theIsraeli Uranus in
its 9th house of
foreign countries. This is scarey! With
the two mighty energy planets opposing each other, this may
well see Israel still at war between July and October 2006, “holding a gun
at its enemies’
heads”.
Iran
During
January, July and November 2006 transiting
Pluto in
Sagittarius will be square the Iranian Mars in Pisces. This shows Iran’s
potential to go to war in the second half of 2006, the rise of
nationalism and
developing unusual power (nuclear power).
To show how
potentially serious a Pluto square Mars is, consider the following:
(a) When transiting Pluto made a 450
aspect (similar to the square above) to the USA Mars in 1941 the USA entered World War II!
(b) With
transiting Pluto square to its country’s Mars: in 1814-15, the USA
was at war with Great Britain;
in 1967-68, the USA
started the Vietnam war. It lost 58 000 killed; in 1968-70, North
Vietnam went to war, primarily against
the USA.
Its losses could have been as high as 3.5 million; in 1973, Egypt
attacked Israel;
in 1908-10, Japan
had a rise in nationalism and annexed Korea.
With Iran being
in a warlike mood at the same time Israel is
showing the same characteristics, a war
beween Israel and Iran in the second half of 2006 cannot be ruled
out of the question.
The Israeli Horoscope
Don’t
ever underestimate the brutal and ruthless
way in
which Israel
deals with the Arabs. The Israeli horoscope has a Saturn Pluto
conjunction, the
astrological energy of a “mass murderer”. This description was
correctly
explained by Reinhold Ebertin, a German Jew, in his classic
astrological work The Combination of Stellar Influences.
The Saturn Pluto conjunction is arguably the most destructive of all
astrological
combinations of planets. To back up this claim is simple. Israel
has a nuclear arsenal, the ultimate weapons of mass destruction. Israel
developed its nuclear weaponry itself, in the most secretive way.
Annihilation
and nuclear power are ruled by Pluto. Science and brutality are ruled
by
Saturn. The warning should be clear, if you mess with Israel
you will simply be annihilated without any thought for your fate at
all.
Over
the last 30 years I have been observing Israel’s
behaviour very closely. Israel
does not want peace with the Arabs. The Israeli Saturn conjunct Pluto
is very
secretive and very harsh in its assessment and treatment of others.
1. Suez Crisis, 1956
UK,
France
& Israel
versus Egypt.
Israel
invades Sinai and Gaza Strip on 29 Oct 1956.
Transiting Pluto (Aug
1956, April-May 1957) in Leo conjunct the Israeli
Mars.
This
shows Israel
in a “warlike” mood. The USA
and North Vietnam
both had this transit in 1966-68 when they went to war with each other.
Transiting Saturn
(June and September 1956) in Scorpio was square the IsraeliMars.
Mars
Saturn combined is called the “death axis”!
Solar
eclipse @ 10 Sagittarius opposite the
Israeli Mercury at
10 Gemini in the 8th house, ruler of 9th house. Deaths of Israelis (8th

Summary: Pluto and
Saturn aspecting the Israeli Mars (Army, War) is mass murder on a large
scale.
It is virtually the most brutal of all astrological combinations.
2. Six Day War, 1967
Israel
versus Egypt,
Jordan,
Iraq
and Syria.
The war began on 6 June 1967.
The Israeli victory was decisive.
1. Transiting Uranus
(stationary Jan, Aug 1967) in Virgo square the Israeli
Uranus in 9th house. The awesome power of Uranus “forced”
(the square aspect) Israel
to act against a foreign country (9th house Uranus).
2. Transiting Pluto (Mar,
Aug 1967) in Virgo semi square the Israeli
Moon in 10th house. This is a classic astrological example of
impulsive
action (Pluto Moon). Pluto forced (semi square) the Israeli government
(10th
house planet) to act.
3. Transiting Jupiter
(16 Jun 1967) in
Leo
conjunct the Israeli Moon. Victory! Elation

combined
shows depression and emotional illness within Israel and within its
government
(the Sun).

square aspect) Israel
to defend itself against in a deadly (8th house) war (Pluto).
Transiting Saturn (mid
Oct 1973) in Cancer conjunct the Israeli
Venus in 9th house, ruler of 8th house.

rules 8th
house).
4. LitaniRiver Operation, 1978
During
the 1970s, the Palestine Liberation
Organization
(PLO) launched intermittent attacks against Israeli civilians and
military
posts from Lebanon.
The Israelis retaliated from time to time. On 15 March 1978 after a bus hijacking, Israel
launched a major six-day military assault into South Lebanon,
striking at PLO terrorist bases south of the LitaniRiver. Israeli troops
withdrew from
Lebanon
in
June, replaced by a UN peace-keeping force. A buffer zone was
established in
southern Lebanon
free of terrorists. The cross-border cycle of attack and retaliation
continued
as the PLO expanded its military operations in Lebanon.
Finally, Israel
invaded Lebanon
in 1982.
Transiting Saturn (23 Oct 1977, 1 Feb, 11 Jul 1978)in
Leo conjunct the Israeli
Mars . The Mars Saturn energy is destructive, an enormous test of
strength,
it is also called the “death axis”. The intense pressure had built up
on
Israeli since October.
Transiting Mars (Feb-Mar
1978) in Cancer conjunctthe Israeli MC and
square the Israeli Ascendant. Mars the God of war
sat for two months “in Israel’s
face”.
Transiting Uranus (all
Feb till mid Mar 1978) in Scorpio square the Israeli Saturn
in the 9th house. Uranus Saturn transits mean
conflict, a build up of strong tension coming from a foreign country
(9th house
Uranus) for six weeks. Great pressure on the Israeli government (Saturn
in 10th
house) and families (Saturn rules 4th house).
Transiting Saturn
(25 Sep 1977, 8
Mar, 12 Jun 1978)

5. Israel attacked the Iraqi
nuclear reactor at Osiraq, 1981
On 7 June
1981Israel
attacked
and destroyed the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osiraq.
Transiting Pluto
(stationary Jan-Feb, Oct 1973) in Libra conjunct the Israeli
Ascendant. Pluto is the most powerful planet in the zodiac.
On its dark side, it rules annihilation and atomic power. Clearly Israel
felt threatened by Iraq’s
nuclear potential, but even more so, wanted to make it clear to the
Arabs that
she would the only nuclear power in the Middle East!
Transiting Neptune(stationary Feb-May, Dec 1981) in
Sagittarius oppositethe Israeli Uranus. Breakdown
(Neptune)
of foreign negotiations (Uranus in 9th house), deceitful, secretive (Neptune),

Jul 1981) @ 8 Leo
conjunct the Israeli Moon and the Israeli
Pluto. Decisive, ruthless
annihilation (Pluto) by the Israeli people (Moon).
Transiting Node (1
Jun 1981) conjunctthe Israeli
Moon.
Summary: Israel gaining power and authority over others
through ruthless suppression (Pluto) of nearby countries (Ascendant).
6. Israel invades Lebanon, 1982
Israel
invaded Lebanon
on 4 June 1982. It
had
withdrawn from most of Lebanon
by 1986, although it retained a buffer zone there until May 2000.
Transiting Pluto
(stationary Jan-Feb, Oct 1973) in Libra conjunct the Israeli
Ascendant. Pluto is the most powerful planet in the zodiac.
On its dark side, it rules annihilation and atomic power. Clearly Israel
felt threatened by Arab nations and insurgent groups. Israel
attacked Lebanon
to make it clear to the Arabs who dominated the
Middle East!
Transiting Chiron
(27 May 1982) in
Taurus
conjunct the Israeli Sun in 8th
house. Transiting Chiron is often associated with death, in this case
it
conjuncts the Israeli Sun in its 8th house of death. Israeli soldiers
and Arabs
died!
Transiting Mars
(14 Apr, 6 Jun) in Libra square the Israeli
Venus. The Israeli army (Mars) “forced” (the square) to attack a
foreign
country (Venus in 9th house), Israelis die (Venus rules 8th house of
death).

through ruthless suppression (Pluto) of nearby countries (Ascendant).
Mars semi
square Saturn (the “death axis”). Mars (war) square Venus (foreign
country).
7. Israel invades Lebanon, 1993
On 25
July 1993Israel
launched
its biggest military assault on Lebanon
since the 1982 invasion. A ceasefire was made on 31 July. Around
500,000 people
were driven from their homes. The bombings were even more intense and
destructive than the 1978 and 1982 Israeli invasions. An Israeli Army
spokesperson said that "70 percent of the village
of Jibshit is totally
destroyed, its
inhabitants will not recognize it." The "security zone" is a
region of southern Lebanon
that Israel
has
occupied in one or another form since its 1978 invasion.
Transiting Saturn (20
Apr, 31 Jul 1993)
in
Aquarius opposition the Israeli Mars.
Once
again a major aspect between the “death axis”
planets,
as Israel
went
to war.
Transiting Pluto (1
Jun to 30 Sep 1993)
in
Scorpio opposition the Israeli Sun in
8th house. Overwhelming power (Pluto) forcing (opposition) the Israeli
government (Sun) into action. Death (8th house Sun) of many Israelis.
Transiting Saturn (4
Mar, stationary 14 Oct to 10
Nov 1993)
in Aquarius square the Israeli Sun in
8th house. Serious (Saturn) pressure (opposition) on the Israeli
government
(Sun) caused by Israeli army deaths (8th house Sun).
Combining transiting
Saturn and transiting Pluto, both aspecting the
Israeli Sun, we have a grave situation, indeed mass murder (Saturn
Pluto) staring the Israeli government (the Sun) in the face.
Transiting Saturn
in Aquarius square transiting Pluto
in Scorpio, both 45 and 135 degrees respectively from the Israeli
Neptune (Mar, Oct 1993). Saturn Pluto and Neptune combined
makes for “shattered nerves, lies and immorality” according to Ebertin.
I
believe it means deep depression (of the Israeli people).
Summary: Saturn and
Pluto (mass murderer) aspects to the Israeli Sun (the government) shows
the
decision to invade Lebanon, and many deaths (Sun in 8th house). Once again, Saturn
aspecting Mars
(the “death axis”). Saturn and Pluto aspecting the Israeli Neptune shows deep depression of
the Israelis.
8. Israel attacks Lebanon,
2006
On 28
Jun 2006Israel
launched
an ongoing offensive on the Gaza Strip 28 after an Israeli soldier was
abducted.
Then on 12 July 2006,
the
Israeli Cabinet authorized “severe and harsh” retaliation on Lebanon
after Hezbollah guerillas kidnapped two soldiers and killed three
others in a
cross-border raid. Concern is the situation on Israel's
northern border will escalate to the level it has reached in Gaza.
Israel
called the abductions an act of war. Hezbollah, backed by Syria
and Iran,
is
considered a terrorist organization by the United
States and Israel.
The group holds posts in Lebanon's
government.
Transiting Saturn
in Scorpio made a 135 degree (sesqui quadrate) to transiting
Pluto on 29 Jun 2006.
This Saturn Pluto
aspect occurred just 45 minutes from the Israeli
Uranus in 9th house. Combining Saturn Pluto and Uranus makes
for sudden
(Uranus) acts of brutality or mass murder (Saturn Pluto) against a
foreign
country (9th house).
Transiting Mars (24
Jun 2006) in Leo conjunct
the Israeli Pluto. Combining Mars (the god
of war) and incredible power (Pluto) you get violence (war).
Transiting Saturn
in Leo (20 Jul 2006)
conjunct the Israeli Pluto. Saturn
Pluto combined means violence, mass murder (warfare). I think Israel
will still be at war! At this time the international community may be
turning
against Israel.
Transiting Pluto
in Sagittarius (21 Jul to 17
Oct 2006)
opposition the Israeli Uranus in 9th
house (foreign countries). This is scarey! With
the two mighty energy planets opposing each other, this may well
see Israel still at war between July and October
2006, holding a gun at its enemies’ heads. With Iran being
in a warlike mood*, a war beween Israel and Iran cannot
be ruled out of the question.
Background
to the Israel,
Palestine,
Lebanon
conflict
The
1978 invasion into Lebanon
killed several thousand people and drove hundreds of thousands to the
north.
The southern region was left under the control of Major Haddad's
militia.
Haddad's forces committed many atrocities, such as slaughtering the
remaining
inhabitants of the Lebanese town of Khiam.
Khiam’s population had been reduced from 30,000 by Israeli bombing in
earlier
years. During its 1982 invasion, Israel
selected Khiam as the site of its notorious Ansar I prison camp where
hideous
conditions and savage torture reigned.
Diplomats
and UN officials in Beirut
estimated 3,500 people, plus unknown numbers of Palestinians, were
killed in
Israeli raids in the early 1970s. Hundreds
of thousands fled from southern Lebanon
in what was a scorched earth policy enacted with US support and
equipment. PLO
actions, some of them atrocious acts of terror, took a vastly lesser
toll.
In February 1973,
Israeli forces attacked Tripoli
in northern Lebanon,
killing 31 people (mainly civilians). In December 1975, Israeli
warplanes
bombed and strafed Palestinian refugee camps and nearby villages,
killing over
50 people. Israeli officials stressed the action had been “preventive,
not
punitive”, wrote the New York Times. Two days earlier
the United Nations had tried to get a
Palestinian
state recognized, but this had been angrily denounced by Israel
and vetoed by the US.
Nabatiye became a frequent target. By 1978, its population of 60,000
had been
reduced to 5,000, the Jerusalem Post reported. As PLO
cross-border terror declined in the mid-1970s, Israel
intensified its own terror in Lebanon,
with US
compliance and media silence. Almost a 1000 civilians were killed
during Israeli
attacks in 1978-79. In July 1981, Israel
once again violated a cease-fire, attacking civilian targets in Lebanon.
Palestinian retaliation elicited heavy Israeli bombing. 450 Arabs were
reported
killed. After mid-1981 the PLO adhered to the cease-fire rigorously.
Meanwhile,
Israel
tried to
provoke the PLO with continual violations: bombing civilians, sinking
fishing
boats, constantly violating Lebanese air space. Israel
needed a pretext for the planned invasion.
In the end, Israel
made up a pretext for its 1982 invasion of Lebanon,
claiming it was in retaliation for an attempt to assassinate the
Israeli
Ambassador to London. Israel
knew the terrorist Abu Nidal organization, that had been at war with
the PLO
for years, had been responsible. I did not even have an office in Lebanon.
Israel’s
1982 invasion of Lebanon
killed around 20,000 Lebanese and Palestinians. The overwhelming
majority of
them were civilians. Much of southern Lebanon
and the capital city of Beirut
was
destroyed. The reason for the 1982
invasion, explained leading Israeli academic Yehoshua Porath, “flowed
from the
very fact that the cease-fire had been observed” by the PLO, a
“veritable
catastrophe” for the Israeli government because it endangered the
policy of
evading a political settlement (a PalestinianState).The PLO was gaining
respectability thanks to its preference for negotiations over terror.
The
Israeli invasion was to force the PLO to “return to terrorism and so
block the
PLO peace offensive and stop its rise to political respectability. US policy
has been to deny the national rights
of Palestinians, not Jews.
