With the Horoscope of December 7, 1941:
This event corresponds to 5,42 years and the period Sun/Venus.
Venus as master of the period has a Feeble force with a combust position at the
Sun (with less 2°). At the point of convergence, Mars (6°03') influence also the
degree of the year but the sector has also a Feeble force. It is the Sun which
becomes the dominator because it burns Venus but also takes its astral potentialities
and replaces it. It is necessary to interpret the period Sun/Venus like one period Sun/Sun.
Energies at the degree of the year are those of the Sun with a transit
of Pluto in House VIII, that of the greatest pains. The Sun brings also the energy of
House VII, that of wars. With this configuration its destructive potential is important.
The degree of the day of the attack of Pearl Harbor is at 9°10' of
Capricorn. It is the degree of the opposition to the exact semi-point of native Sun-Mars
(at 0°13' near). The degree of the day has also all the destructive potential of
native conjunction Sun-Mars!

this year 1941? Its position of SR answers at this question. The financial power of USA

planet which symbolizes more the wars because it has a Very Evil quality in Cancer in
