Square deaths

Pearl Harbor Attack (December 7)

Saturn square Mars (military attack on US sovereignty)

On December 7, 1941, Japanese naval forces attack the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Over 1,100 military personnel are killed in the initial attack; total deaths exceed 1,200. Eight US battleships are damaged or sunk. The attack shocks the nation and galvanizes American determination to enter WWII. Congress declares war on Japan the following day.

Saturn rules government institutions and territorial integrity. Mars rules attack and aggressive force. Their square creates a violent attack on governmental institutions (Pearl Harbor as US military center). Saturn's organizational hierarchy (military command structure) is caught off-guard by Mars's sudden aggression. The attack motivates Saturn (authority) to mobilize total war response.
