In mundane astrology, the entry of a planet into a new sign is always an important event especially if that sign is a cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). On Monday, Oct.23, Mars enters Libra and at Tokyo the ingress chart has Mars placed very significantly on the Ascendant square Saturn – a potentially destructive combination.

For stars conjunct Mars on the Ascenant, Diana Rosenberg writes:

The multiple black holes makes this a region of severe storms: the Sun was here at the 1815 Autumn Equinox, the day the Great September Gale hit New England, “equal to the hurricane of 1938,” Mars in 1989 when Hurricane Hugo (winds of 135 mph, a barometric low of 27.58”) severely damaged Charleston, SC; Jupiter at Khublai Khan’s 2^nd attempt to invade Japan in 1281): a typhoon sank about 4000 ships, drowning more than 100,000 troops; Uranus in 1969 when Hurricane Camille hit the Gulf Coast; the South Node when a great storm hit England in Oct. 1987 causing great damage  and several others.
