Pleaides – the Weeping Sisters
World
War II also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from
1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast
majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—eventually
forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the
most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million
people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major
participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific
capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian
and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the
Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the
strategic bombing of industrial and population centres (in which approximately
one million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities.
These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II
In mundane astrology, the horoscope of a nation’s leader
is often analyzed to understand the fate of the nation. We, therefore, analyse
the chart for Germany’s leader Adolph Hitler (for the war years) using his primary
directions by Van Dam. Wim Van Dam is a Dutch astrologer who has developed
formulae for calculating primary directions that is widely used throughout
Europe for decades and is now being used by more astrologers throughout the
world.
What are Van Dam Primary Directions?
Many astrologers
think they create a complete progressed horoscope by calculating the secondary
positions of the sun, the moon, the planets and maybe the lunar node and adding
to these positions something they call ‘the progressed cusps’: first calculate
the progressed MC by one way or another, then calculate the corresponding
ascendant and intermediate cusps for the local latitude of birth et voilà.
Although this is
handy in daily practice (one has to have a complete set of progressed points)
and one can get definitely consistent and positive results, one should realize
that it is not the complete truth for you without the complete set of primary
planets that are also active at the time.
Primary Directions
are far older than secondary ones. Secondaries were more or less invented by
Placidus. Primaries are already described by Ptolemy (A.D. 150) in his
Tetrabiblos, Loeb Edition, Robins’ translation, p. 293-307, Ashmand Edition p.
95-100. This text however is so obscure (as you will see when you try to read
it) that through the ages heavy discussions have been held on its
interpretation. Many astrologers (Cardanus, Morin, Placidus, Kühr to name a
few) had their own variant of p.d.’s. Primary Directions, in spite of their
fame, this technique did not become a standard tool for astrologers to
use. http://www.astrosoftware.com/wimprimaries.htm
The seeds of World War II were sowed by the victors of
World War I. The victorious allies at the end of World War I required payment
by Germany of heavy reparations. It was felt
that peace ought to be crushing ,
including the payment by Germany of heavy reparations. In Germany the reparations came to be blamed
for everything going wrong in the postwar years: for poverty, for unemployment,
for the hyperinflation of 1923, and for the depression of 1929. As Taylor
writes, “Every touch of economic hardship
stirred the Germans to shake off 'the shackles of Versailles'.”
Every nation has a message to deliver, a mission to
fulfill, a destiny to reach. Leaders are born who fulfill this destiny for
nations. Hitler’s chart carries a Hades-Neptune-Pluto
square (activated by Primary Van Dam during the post WWI years 1927-1938 [1] ). Martha Wescott
provides the following interpretations:
Neptune-Pluto: to see something akin to delusions of persecution or paranoia; to see
that power can exploit; aware of exploitation of the masses – especially
through an appeal to base emotions, unrealistic ideals and promises of
perfection; to see people gain power by capitalizing on the vulnerability,
passivity or weakness of others.
Hades-Pluto: to see changes that are not for the better but that bring a decline;
to recognize that poverty, lack or depression can motivate or create upheaval.
Hades-Neptune: one can feel victimized by history; under poverty and declining
conditions the masses look for a savior.
Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party and Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945. He
was determined to assert more broadly
Germany's power and make a dominant
place for it in Europe, as a reaction to the treatment it was receiving at the
hands of the World War I victors. The Versailles Treaty was a boost to extremist elements that
expressed these resentments in their starkest and sharpest form. The harsh
peace was a political bonanza for the Nazi Party, which railed against it
throughout its rise to power[1].

*** END REPORT ***
No chart analysis is complete without understanding the
stars that form the backdrop to relevant planets that are important in the
directions to the chart. Here we will look at the stars for Neptune and Pluto. These
include the Pleaides Cluster which runs from the end of tropical Taurus to
stars in the beginning of tropical Gemini and the Hyades. Eta (η) Taurus, or
Alcyone [29ta], "The Central One", is the central or main star and
also the largest star of the Pleiades or Seven Sisters, the seven stars that
are situated on the shoulder blade of the Bull.
The Pleaides are often referred to as the Weeping Sisters. In our case here, we can relate this to the hardships and sorrow for Germany following poverty and economic depression. Next we have
alpha (α) Perseus, Mirfak [0ge50], a
star on the right side of the Champion. Perseus is the Rescuer who aggressively
tries to rescue and reform everything and everybody according to his idealistic
vision of the way things out to be [2].
In Hitler’s chart, natal Pluto [4ge40] is conjunct
gamma (γ) Taurus, Prima Hyadum [4ge14], the chief star of the Hyades,
situated on the face of the Bull. This makes for aggressive, imperious and
autocratic individuals. Intensely emotional loners, their unstable stormy
passions make daily life a melodrama. Brooding and resentful, in some cases
they may be persecuted or persecuting, sometimes leading to ferocity, violence
and/or delusions of grandeur. The Hyades are linked to invasions, great
battles, upheavals and mass events [3].
As a general rule, outer planets are usually a “dumb”
note in the chart unless in aspect to personal planets. Hitler’s Moon [6cp37]
makes a hard aspect to Pluto and is conjunct the star Facies [6cp45]. M22
Sagittarius, Facies, is the nebula in front of the Archer's face. Ancient
astrologers linked the Archer with the conqueror.
"As for the
Archer, when the foremost portion of his cloak rises, he will give birth to
hearts renowned in war and will conduct the conqueror, celebrating great
triumphs in the sight of all, to his country's citadels." [Manilius,
Astronomica, 1st century AD, book 4, p.267]
