April Eclipse launches Japan’s warship “Izumo”

On Aug. 6, Japan launched its largest warship since World War II in a fresh demonstration of Tokyo’s steadily expanding naval capabilities. The unveiling of the destroyer — with a conspicuously large flight deck — has drawn attention from its neighbors, especially longstanding regional rival China, which in the past decade has embarked on a massive program of military modernization.

An eclipse is valid for a considerably longer time than we imagine especially if it occurs on the angles.  The message contained in an eclipse is delivered  when transits or progressions activate the eclipse. Here we see the 26 April  lunar eclipse at Tokyo is powerfully placed on the horizon axis. A Mars-Saturn opposition straddles the eclipse axis with Neptune (lord of the sea) forming aspects to both ends. Mars-Saturn is a combination associated with war and war machinery…when combined with Neptune we can see a warship here.  Progressing the eclipse chart to 6 Aug aligns the progressed meridian with the eclipse and Mars-Saturn triggering it on that day so that a warship is launched.
