Just a few days ago Israel waged a preemptive attack on the country of Iran to prevent it from building nuclear weapons, much like Japan waged a preemptive attack on the American base in Pearl Harbor just 84 years ago to prevent the United States from building nuclear weapons with which to attack Japan. In this current case the United States is deeply involved with the Israeli attack.

Attack on Iran

Looking at the chart for the first strike we see Mars square Uranus with Mars in the first house. This is an astrological cliche for an accident, but more broadly it can been seen as an unexpected or sudden use of energy or military might. But if we look at the chart in respect to the Israel chart we see something even more fascinating: This was the Mars return for Israel, something that happens every two years when Mars returns to its natal position and so things are even more martial. But this also means that Uranus was squaring the natal Mars of Israel at this moment. It almost seems overdetermined that Israel would do something rash and bold and unexpected at this moment.

Israel Attacks Iran

If we look at the chart for Iran at the moment of attack nothing seems to stand out. Neptune is prominent. There is a wide conjunction of Neptune/Saturn with the Iranian Sun. The transiting Sun is opposite the Iranian Neptune. The transiting Neptune-Saturn is sesquiquadrate the Iran Ascendant. It appears that deception took place, The United states was in the process of negotiations with Iran at the time, and Iran was led to believe that they would not be attacked while negotiations were on going and so perhaps Iran did not expect anything. Notice also that Uranus is moving to conjoin the Moon of Iran. This will be more important in 2026, but as we will see with the United States Moon Uranus hard aspects often signify war. At the very least, it signifies that the populace is exited, something that the Iranian population is already doing/being.

Iran Attacked

Here is the chart of the United States, which was involved with this attack, at the time of the attack. There is a wide square of Uranus to the Moon, but the square was exact about a month earlier and transiting Mars was opposite the US Moon the day before the attack.

US at Time of Attack

And here is the chart for the attack of Pearl Harbor just one Uranus cycle before now. Instead of Saturn conjoined the outer planet Neptune we have Saturn conjoining the outer planet Uranus, and they are both square the US Moon, And of course Neptune is conjunct the MC of the US, one half Neptune Cycle before now, when Neptune is opposite the US MC.

Pearl Harbor Attack

Finally looking at the graphical ephemeris for Israel over this year we see that Pluto is opposite the Moon of Israel and there was a Mars Pluto tight aspect on the Israeli Moon is late April of this year. Earlier this year Uranus was conjunct the Israeli Sun, indicating much excitement in the government of Israel. Uranus then when on to excite the Israel Mars and as you can see the exact aspect was at about the time of the attack.

Israel This Year

In the future Pluto will continue to opposite the Israel Moon suggesting strong change in the citizens of that country, Also continuing will be Uranus squaring the Israeli Mars, suggesting further use of military means,
