Pluto and Saturn seem to play a vital role in causing war, loss of life and wealth, economic crisis, and danger to safetyand stability.

If afflicted, Saturn causes delays, difficulties, loss, sorrows, failure, death, and danger to safety, security, and stability.

Conjunction of Pluto and Saturn may give mixed results like revolution, radical change, transformation, loss, or death. Opposition and square aspects indicate adverse results. Conjunction of Saturn and Pluto occurred in the sign Cancer during 1914 to 1916. This triggered First World War and economic crisis. Saturn in Capricorn and Pluto in Cancer formed opposition during 1930-31, causing financial crisis, and losses. The square formed by Saturn in Taurus and Pluto in Leo during 1939-41 was responsible for the Second World War.

Pluto, Saturn and Sun were in Leo on 15^th August 1947 when the British rule ended and India became independent and the partition of India took place. Pluto in Virgo and Saturn in Pisces opposed each other during 1965-66 when there were Indo-Pak and Vietnam wars. During 1981-82, Saturn - Pluto conjunction occurred in Libra caused Iran and Lebanon wars. In 1992-93 there formed a square causing Gulf war.

Now during 2001 Saturn is in Gemini in opposition to Pluto in Sagittarius. This adverse aspect is responsible for the terrorist activities, attacks on World Trade Centre in New York and Pentagon in Washington D.C., causing loss of wealth, many lives, and the American raids over Afghanistan. Gemini is the sign of America. Pluto in Sagittarius afflicts Saturn in Gemini. Capricorn ruled by Saturn, is the sign of Afghanistan and India. Sagittarius rules Arabia. This Saturn-Pluto adverse aspect may cause major economic crisis war, deaths, and loss of wealth.

There is another reason for the troubles faced by America. Gemini —the sign of America— is transited by Saturn afflicted by Pluto in Sagittarius, according to Mundane Astrology. The horoscope cast for solar ingress in Aries indicates the trends of the country during the year.

Sun entered Aries on 20^th March 2001 at hours 13:31 GMT or 20:31 LMT of New York, America. The 26^th degrees of Taurus was rising at that time and Saturn was in Taurus in the same rising degree. This is an evil position. Saturn is afflicted by Uranus in 10^th house —Aquarius. This adverse aspect is responsible for the destruction of World Trade Centre and Pentagon and the death of thousands of people. The unexpected event happened in a surprising way due to sudden attack by aeroplanes. Uranus is the planet for bomb, planes, and sudden and surprising events. Neptune and Moon in the Tenth House indicate the secret plot to ruin the property. Debilitated Mercury in the 11^th house was in adverse square aspect to Jupiter in Gemini. They are rulers of houses 2 and 8, which govern national wealth. So huge loss was incurred. Further, Mars and Pluto were in 8^th house indicating loss of property and lives. Venus —the ruler of first and sixth houses was in the 12^th house in retrograde motion indicating the adverse events. Thus the Solar Ingress chart clearly indicated the bad position.

On May 23, the new Moon occurred in Gemini —the sign of America. Both Sun and Moon were afflicted by the conjunction of Saturn. Uranus afflicted both Sun and Moon on June sixth, the full Moon day. Again, they were afflicted on June 21, when there was an eclipse. Sun was in exact square aspect to Pluto and Saturn on fifth and September 7. When the disaster happened on September11^th, Moon was again in Gemini afflicted by Saturn and Pluto. America started raids on Afghanistan on October 7, When the Moon who in Gemini, afflicted by Saturn and Pluto. Thus, the Saturn-Pluto opposition aspect was activated by Moon causing heavy loss and deaths.

Sun entered Aries on March 20 at 18:08 hours Kabul local time. Zero degrees of Libra was rising at that time with Sun exactly on the 7^th Cusp, Saturn in the 9^th house, and Venus, rulers of houses 1 & 8 in the 7^th house, retrograde. The Solar Eclipse on June 21 occurred exactly on the 10^th cusp of Solar Ingress. On September 11, Mars entered 4^th house in opposition to 10^th cusp. Moon activated the Saturn - Pluto opposition aspect in October and Sun, Mars, and Jupiter afflicted Solar Ingress Venus. These adverse factors are responsible for the loss of national wealth and deaths in Afghanistan. It is a war against terrorism for Americans and it is a crusade or Jihad for Afghans. It seems that there is no end to the war in the near future, due to the adverse planetary transits especially Saturn and Pluto. These two planets are in sixth and twelfth houses from Capricorn (Ruled by Saturn) which is the sign of both Afghanistan and India. This is the reason for the increased terrorism in Kashmir and bombing on Kabul, Kandhahar, and other Afghan cities. Mundane Astrology helps to indicate the future trends in the countries.
