How Japan's youth see the kamikaze pilots of WW2




During World War Two, thousands of Japanese pilots volunteered to be kamikaze, suicidally crashing their planes in the name of their emperor. More than 70 years on, the BBC's Mariko Oi asks what these once revered men mean to Japan's youth. Irrational, heroic and stupid: this was what three young people in Tokyo said when I asked them about their views on the kamikaze.  Nov.3 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-39351262

In  his The Book of World Horoscopes, Nicholas Campion (1996 ed.) writes "Horoscopes for modern Japan are set for the revival of the country following the defeat in the second world war in 1945, and its occupation by the USA". Campion mentions that the post-war constitution came into effect "apparently at 0.00 hrs on 3 May 1947 in Tokyo".





In mundane astrology, the national chart is of utmost importance. Since the First House or Ascendant describes the masses, the progressed Ascendant of a national chart throws light on the gradual evolution taking place in the way the masses think. The table below indicates that the progressed Ascendant is now within a degree of a square to radix Pluto-Sun square.

Notice that the upcoming Full Moon [11ta] of November 4 falls on the radix Sun [11ta] and therefore acts as a trigger to the progressed Ascendant conjunct Sun square Pluto aspect.

To understand the chart a little better we will concentrate on the Sun-Kronos-Zeus-Pluto-Jupiter T-square that aligns with the meridian. If we add the asteroids, we have Icarus[18Aq] square Siwa [18ta] that also aligns with the T-square. Icarus refers to aircrafts and flights while Siwa is devastation so that Icarus-Siwa can combine to describe kamikaze pilots. The TNP Kronos also refers to aircraft  and the TNP Zeus has association with guns and the military so that with Pluto which refers to radical circumstances we have another connection to military aircraft being used as a desperate solution.

Pluto [10le] is conjunct the nebulous cluster in the Crab’s shell, Praesepe M44 – The Beehive.  About this area, Nick Fiorenza writes:

Praesepe embodies the essence of the Scarab / Cancer theme: emergence out of darkness, dogma, and delusion, out of the antiquated entrapments we had been living in, and our transmutation from darkness into light. Praesepe is of new beginnings, migration, shedding old skins, skeletons, and cocoons. It is of emerging out of the frenetic confusion of mass consciousness; finding our new path and direction; leaving behind old dwellings and the structures of consciousness they represent; and getting out of our personal or collective dogma and the darkness it creates. http://www.lunarplanner.com/LunarMonths2003/lunarmonth.03.07.28.html


This neatly explains why the younger generation is leaving the old consciousness behind.
