The planet Mars has traditionally been related to warriors or soldiers. On May 16, Mars  ingressed into the sign of Cancer and already we are seeing many events in the headlines related to the archetypal qualities of the God of War. While the event is worldwide in scope, those places where it appears on the horizon or meridian (angles) are the ones most affected. The "friendly fire" incident  took place in Lashkar Gah , the capital of Afghanistan's southern Helmand province. The Cancer Ingress chart of Mars drawn for Lashkar Gah has it placed exactly on the Ascendant with the TNP Hades and opposite Jupiter. 




In her book, The Orders of Light, Martha Wescott interprets Hades-Mars as under:

Hades-Mars: to recognize that anger, actions or self-assertion have only made things worse; to see people express shame for what they’ve done.

This in itself can explain the news. However, in addition we have Mars opposite Jupiter. Ebertin interprets this combination as:

Mars-Jupiter : Inclination to exaggerate, hastiness or premature action and also immoderation.

And finally for the stars that form the backdrop to Jupiter [22sa], Diana Rosenberg writes:  disasters caused by overconfidence, carelessness, errors, neglect or fatigue”.
