Conflict between China and Japan, and astrological view

China has ordered military forces to prepare for combat with Japan over the disputed islands. Anti-Japanese protests in China have turned violent. Will there be armed conflict between China and Japan? A horary chart was drawn in New York on September 18, 2012 at 8:40 PM to find out.

The chart has Venus, ruler of the 1st house in the 4th applying to square Mars, ruler of the 7th house, in the 7th house. This is a classical indication of war: the rulers of the 1st and 7th houses applying to an afflictive aspect from angles. It will not come as a surprise if military action is taken and fire is exchanged.
