2nd October 680 AD, Karbala, Iraq.
This is the seed of centuries of the Middle East conflict, with macabre killings targeting the "Shia" Muslims continuing to this very day. It was in this day that the Caravan of the Prophet's Grandson Imam Hussain was intercepted by a tyrant's Army. The members of the Prophet's family including children were tortured to death, and this genocide created the schism that provoked hatred and outrage against ruling Sunni Monarchy and created the Shiite Systems of opposing Majoritarian Sunni Fundamentalism.
Mars and LUCIFER were conjunct exact, 8 Libra.
Uranus conjunct ALGOL in 9 Taurus.
So many were beheaded after the conflict ended on 10th October with the Martyrdom of Imam Hussain.
Saturn was on 29.5 Cancer, square SIVA exact.
Pluto and North Node conjunct exact, 19 Gemini. Powerful Intellectual Transformation was indeed seeded.
Neptune and Jupiter conjunct in Capricorn but squared the Sun. Religious Dogmatism/Fundamentalism of the Established Monarchy/Army afflicting the Ego, disabling Peace for Centuries.
The Negative Vibration of this 10 day phase of the Arab Month of Muharram became extremely significant in the Tropical Chart. Notice that Anwar Sadat of Egypt who tried to create a peace accord between Israel and Arabs was assassinated by Fundamentalist Soldiers on 6th October, the midpoint of the 680 AD Karbala Incident.
Other planetary points become significant too from the 680 AD Chart.
For instance, the Assassination of King Faisal, prominent Saudi Monarch on 25th March 1975 has Pluto on 8 Libra [The Mars-Lucifer point of 680 AD] and Draconic Sun of this date conjuncts Saturn exact in the 680 AD Chart.
Here is one more clear connection: The Ottoman Empire (Last major Caliphate of Sunni Islam) was dissolved on 23rd July 1924, and the Sun during this day too conjunct Saturn of 680 AD Chart exact!
One more: The Iran-Iraq conflict started 22nd September 1980. The Draconic Chart has Sun conjunct Saturn exact on 9 Taurus, right where Uranus and ALGOL conjunct in 680 AD.
This goes to show how major historical events still reverberate through Time Loops century after century via Astrological Aspect Frequency.
(All the more reason for us to try and forgive/release negativity so that it does not keep recurring when Astrological Conditions repeat in Tropical/Draconic Charts....)
