This is the US invasion of Grenada. The US is the challenger, 1st House signified by Venus. Cuban and Grenadian Forces are represent by Mars. Mars in this chart is weak and Peregrine. Venus, the stronger of the two Planets makes an exact conjunction overwhelming Mars 27 hours after the conflict began. We all know the rest of the story.
This is the US invasion of Panama. The US is the challenger significated by Venus, and Panama is the defender significated by Mars. Where exactly is the 7th House Ruler? Um, in the 8th House. That guarantees Panama will be defeated. Interestingly, both Mercury and Venus go retrograde about 9 days later. Mercury is Out of Bounds and rules Panama's 3rd House of Communication. You might remember Noriega being holed-up somewhere and the US using psy-ops warfare playing Gregorian Chants and chants by Buddhist monks and some other really horrid psychedelic music to drive Noriega insane and force him to surrender.
Let's move on.

Given what I just told you about a significator being in the House of Death, would you, as Court Astrologer to Saddam Hussein recommend invading Kuwait at that time?
Well, Jupiter ruling Sagittarius is posited in the 8th House spelling defeat for Kuwait, but what's that Planet sitting in Kuwait's 1st House?
Um, that would be a retrograde Saturn ruling Kuwait's 2nd House, which is what? Kuwait's allies and support.
Saturn is the Coalition Forces. Saturn turns Direct in September, when the US gets approval for Operation Desert Shield. What happens when the air campaign begins in January?

Look at the Moon ruling the House of Death in exact sextile with Saturn, and look at Jupiter which has now gone retrograde.
The ground war is halted 100 hours after most of the Iraqi Republican Guard divisions were annihilated or reduced to combat ineffective status. Note Mercury ruling Kuwait's 4th House exactly conjunct.
I'd be happy to entertain any (astrological) comments on these charts. I'm limited to five attachments so we'll move to the meat of the matter in Part Deux.
