In Mundane Astrology, war and peace are analyzed through planetary alignments, house activations, and eclipses.

• Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto are the primary planets signaling conflict or defense.
• Venus, Jupiter, and harmonious aspects promote diplomacy, alliances, and periods of peace.

Studying a nation’s chart alongside transits allows astrologers to predict potential conflicts, military actions, or diplomatic breakthroughs.

🔹 Key Planetary Indicators

♂ Mars – Aggression and Military Action

• Signifies war, battles, protests, and defense strategies.
• Activation in 1st, 4th, 6th, or 10th houses → heightened military tension or leadership action.

Example:

• World War II outbreak (1939): Mars and Pluto aspects activated key national charts → aggression escalated into global conflict.

♄ Saturn – Structure and Defense

• Represents military organization, defense strategy, and national resilience.
• Challenging transits indicate blockages, defensive failures, or prolonged conflict.

Example:

• 1914 (WWI): Saturn transits aligned with national Midheavens → nations mobilized armies, reinforcing authority structures.

♅ Uranus – Sudden Conflict or Rebellion

• Signals revolution, coups, or unexpected war events.
• Often appears alongside outer planet aspects to mark rapid shifts.

Example:

• Arab Spring (2011): Uranus transits triggered sudden uprisings and government collapses.

♇ Pluto – Total War and Transformation

• Indicates deep systemic change, regime collapse, or societal upheaval through conflict.
• Pluto aspects → long-term shifts in power structures.
