Atomic Bombs Dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
□Pluto in Leo / Jupiter-Neptune Square
What Happened
The United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima (August 6) and Nagasaki (August 9), killing over 200,000 people and forcing Japan's surrender. These remain the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare. The bombings ended World War II but inaugurated the nuclear age, permanently altering geopolitics, military strategy, and humanity's relationship with its own capacity for self-destruction.
The Cosmic Link
Pluto in dramatic Leo — the sign of creative power and will — reached its most destructive expression as humanity split the atom and unleashed plutonium's power. Jupiter squared Neptune, inflating the moral confusion surrounding the bombings. Pluto, the planet of nuclear transformation named after the god of the underworld, in the sign of sovereign power, produced the ultimate display of destructive authority.
