Mars Retrograde

[link to www.astrologyweekly.com]

[Interestingly, as I studied the modern history in correlation with Mars retrograde, I noticed that all wars initiated by Israel started immediately after a Mars retrograde period (10 to 26 days afterwards). They were all very successful military campaigns. I found this fact to be quite intriguing. This can be explained either by a cosmic coincidence, due to the very special and strong position of Mars in Israel´s horoscope, either by Israel´s leaders using the astrology for successful warfare.

The 1956 Suez War started when Israel atacked Egypt on October 29, 1956, which is 19 days after the previous Mars retrograde period which ended on October 10, 1956.
The 1967 Six-Day War began when Israel attacked its Arab neighbors Egypt, Jordan, and Syria on June 5, 1967, which is 10 days after the previous Mars retrograde period which ended on May 26, 1967.
The 1978 Invasion of Lebanon by Israel (Operation Litani) began on March 14, 1978, which is 10 days after the previous Mars retrograde period which ended on March 2, 1978.
The 1982 Invasion of Lebanon by Israel began on June 6, 1982, which is 26 days after the previous Mars retrograde period which ended on May 12, 1982.]

Other Non-Israel initiated wars:
The Yom Kippur War (the 1973 Arab-Israeli War)
The East Timor invasion by Indonesia
The Falklands War
The Kosovo War

I don´t really believe in astrology, but find it interesting none the less.
