History in the stars: German invasion of Russia





The German dictator had advocated the conquest of the USSR as early as 1924 in his book, Mein Kampf. Operation Barbarossa was the German codename for the invasion of the USSR which took place on 22 June 1941. Launched by Hitler in violation of the existing non-aggression treaty with Stalin, it was designed to provide the Reich with 'living space in the East'. Following Adolf Hitler's rise to power, Lebensraum (“living space”) became an ideological principle of Nazism and provided justification for the German territorial expansion into East-Central Europe. The Nazi government aimed at repopulating these lands with Germanic colonists in the name of Lebensraum during World War II and thereafter. The entire indigenous populations were to be decimated by starvation, allowing for their own agricultural surplus to feed Germany.




The question that we are asking ourselves in this blogpost is whether we can see Hitler’s plan through the lens of his chart and that of the USSR. Let us begin with the chart of the USSR [1] . For June 1941, when Germany attacked the USSR we have progressed Sun [9sa] opposite radix Jupiter [9ge] on the MC [6ge].

Jupiter is conjunct the star Aldebaran [9ge]. Alpha (α) Taurus, Aldebaran, is a pale rose star marking the right eye of the Bull (the star Ain, or epsilon (ε), marks the left eye). This star is about physical infrastructure including  “living spaces” for future humanitarian projects as Nick Fiorenza explains in the extract below:

Aldebaran, Light of the Bull, embodies the principle theme of Taurus. It holds the vision for global leaders and world servers inspiring the administrative planning of world affairs, specifically for physical logistics and a global infrastructure designed to support humanity through evolutionary growth and change. https://www.lunarplanner.com/Snippets/12.12.21-Solstice/index.html

Historians hold Stalin’s self-deluding conviction and over-confidence that Hitler would not invade the USSR as the reason behind the initial losses of the war. Notice that Jupiter in the 10th house is descriptive of the leader. The progressed Sun opposite Jupiter is well known to astrologers as a combination that can lead to over-confidence.






But there is more information here that is absolutely stunning. From 1941 to 1945, Hitler’s secondary progressed Ascendant moved opposite his Neptune [1ge] – Pluto [5ge]…a need to attack (Pluto) helpless people (Neptune).

 Notice that this conjoins the MC [6ge] of the USSR chart.  So let us study this area of the stars. The primary star here is Prima Hyadum. Gamma (γ) Taurus, Prima Hyadum, is the chief star of the Hyades; six stars situated on the face of the Bull. Diana Rosenberg links Hyades to invasions stating that this was the Chinese asterism “The Announcer of the Invasion at the Border”!
