The Berlin Wall Begins (August 13, 1961)

I know it sounds glib, but the event chart for the beginning of the Berlin Wall reveals something ‘interesting’.

A Yod (Finger of God) is pointing at Saturn (ultimate control) formed by inconjuncts to Uranus (sudden actions) and the Ascendant (timing). Honestly, could it really just be coincidental? I think not.

At midnight, the police and units of the East German army began to close the border and, by Sunday morning, 13 August, the border with West Berlin was closed. East German troops and workers had begun to tear up streets running alongside the border to make them impassable to most vehicles and to install barbed wire entanglements and fences along the 156 km (97 mi) around the three western sectors, and the 43 km (27 mi) that divided West and East Berlin.^[59] The date of 13 August became commonly referred to as Barbed Wire Sunday in Germany.

I’ve added this quote to show where I got the timing of midnight for the chart. Uranus is conjunct the Sun and Mercury and in opposition to the Midheaven. Also, the Moon is conjunct Pluto. The otherwise unaspected planets, Venus and Neptune, are in a trine to each other. Other astrologers will be able to read between the lines.
