I.
After the defeat before Moscow in the winter of 1941-42 and the catastrophe of the 6th Army in Stalingrad in the winter of 1942-43, with the summer of 1943 approached the time when it would be finally decided which side would have the initiative in the gigantic struggle from now on. Two months after the surrender the 6th Army and the subsequent offensive of the Red Army, up till the liberation of Kharkov, which had since then been retaken by Manstein's counteroffensive, both the fascist and the Russian side were considering the probabilities of the summer campaign.
In Hitler's Order of operation No. 6 of April 15, 1943, it was said in the characteristic "Führer style" :
"I have decided, as soon as the weather permits, to lead the 'Citadel' attack as the first of this year's attacks. This attack is therefore of crucial importance. It must succeed quickly and decisively. It must give us the initiative for this spring and summer. Therefore, all preparations must be carried out with the utmost care and vigor. The best associations, the best weapons, the best leaders, large quantities of ammunition are to be used at the focal points. Every leader, every man must be imbued with the decisive significance of this attack. The victory of Kursk must seem like a fanal for the world."
The operational target of the attack was described as:
"The aim of the attack is to encircle the enemy forces located in the Kursk region and to destroy them by a concentric attack by a sharply combined, ruthlessly and quickly carried out advance of one attacking army each from the Belgorod region and south Orel."
On the Russian side, also in April, the probable location was seen, as Zhukov describes:
"Throughout the day I worked with Vasilevsky and his deputy Antonov on the documents for the lecture at Stalin's. From the early morning, the three of us sat over this work. Since there was complete agreement between us, everything was ready by the evening. Antonov was rightly considered an excellent master of staff culture, while we were preparing the summary of the report to Stalin, he quickly drew up the situation map and the map plan of the actions of the fronts in the area of the Kursk Bulge.
We had started from political, economic and military-strategic considerations and came to the conclusion that it was important for the fascists to stay at the front from the Gulf of Finland to the Sea of Azov at all costs. They were certainly able to equip their troops well in a strategic direction and to organize a large offensive operation in the area of the Kursk Bulge in order to crush the troops of the Central and Voronezh Fronts. This could change the overall strategic situation in favor of their troops, not to mention that the entire front would have been significantly shortened and the overall operational density of their defense increased.
The location in the Kursk Bend made it possible to conduct two opposing collisions in the general direction of Kursk: one from the area south of Oriol and one from the area of Belgorod. It was assumed that the fascist high Command would remain on the remaining sections in defense, since, according to our calculations, it lacked the forces for offensive operations here.
On the evening of April 12, Vasilevsky, Antonov and I drove to the headquarters. Stalin listened to us more attentively than probably never before. He agreed with us that the main efforts should be focused on the Kursk region, but still expressed concern about the Moscow direction.
Discussing the plan of our actions, we came to the conclusion that it was necessary to build a stable low-level defense in the most important directions, primarily in the Kursk Arc. Corresponding directives were sent to the commanders-in-chief of the fronts. The troops began to dig deep into the earth. We also took precautions to bring the strategic reserves of the headquarters as close as possible to the most vulnerable rooms. Thus, already in mid-April, a preliminary decision was made by the headquarters for the planned defense. (Emphasis added. by the author).
The headquarters considered the Voronezh, the Central- the South-Western and the Briansk Fronts to be the main active fronts of the first stage of the summer campaign. According to our calculations, the most important events would take place here. We wanted to counter the expected offensive with a powerful defense, to defeat the enemy, first of all to smash his tank group, and finally to beat him in the counterattack. We decided to draw up a plan of offensive actions at the same time as the plan of defense and counterattack. However, if the enemy's offensive should be delayed any longer, we did not want to wait for it first.
So our defense was by no means forced on us, but extremely planned. The timing of the offensive made the headquarters dependent on the situation. It should not be rushed, but also not put on the long bench. (Emphasis added. by the author).

The astrological consideration raises the question: how could it come about that the two strongest land- armies of the world were fighting for world domination with each other for life and death? Is there something so ultimately recognizable in the constellations that indicate an unconscious chains of fate?
The analysis firstly has to examine the 'long waves of fate' as they are the powerful backgrounds of the activated projections.
Since it is about fire, flame and annihilation, first of all, here the seven-year horoscope ('septar') of the fire element of 1603 upon the northern hemisphere of the Earth in the period in question:
it unites in an Sagittarius-
"arrow"
Mercury
Sun
Venus
Jupiter
Uranus
Neptune
in opposition with
Pluto
in a conjunction uniting 8 of 12 timequalities in firy events, under the sign of Sagittarius, who is always concerned with a complete solution, making the reconciliation of opposites possible.
the whole depraved stuff has to be burned
Since June 17, 1943, the rhythms of the mutually reflecting halves of symbolic and material life has been been met in Pisces whose Neptune is in the middle of the cluster of destinies. Neptune is the end of every development according to the 12th sign in the zodiac, indicating the world- water into which all streams flow, "because it lies deeper than these" (Lao Tse). So in these 7 years, the first element fire aproaches to the complete dissolution of the planetary knot of fate in the, paradoxical as it sounds, possible 'fire of reconciliation', which burns up hatred.
(The narrations of German soldiers, back from Russia: the teached us the be-jesus - no arrogance left)
Since the four elements, when they unite to form higher formations, always are cooking them in the 'vessel' of the earth, thinking and feeling, air and water, are required to complete fire and earth.

the energy Mars of a center
here, too, a very rare constellation: Mars, the attack, and Pluto, the sufferer, are exactly connected in opposition - and not only that, Pluto, as I said, is in the first step in a new 248-year run in the zodiac. To this is now added the square with the rarest conjunction of Uranus, the cancellation, and Neptune, the dissolution. In other words: an aggressive, extremely fateful earth-shaking constellation in the earth element, ruling Taurus Virgo and Capricorn, or defense, ratio and measure.
Between February and September 1943, the derailleur Uranus rules the real-material 2nd house via air-elements Aquarius, while the Jupiter of Sagittarius in the 5th house inspires the soul with the perfection of foresight and prudence.

the offensive out of the defensive
was preceded by the culmination of the battle on the 12th - the world event of the tank battle of Prokhorovka - which the Deputy Chief of the Russian General Staff Vasilievsky describes in his "Cause of the Whole Life:
"The defensive operation of the Voronezh and Central Fronts lasted from July 5 to July 23. From July 12, the 5th Guards Tank Army and the 5th General Army of the Steppe Front, subordinated to the Voronezh Front, entered the defensive battle.In total, the enemy offensive lasted almost a week and was brought to a standstill on July 12. The enemy had suffered heavy losses and had advanced only 12-35 kilometers on the northern and southern sections of the Kursk Arc. So he had to stop the attack and retreat. The fascists could not realize their operation plan 'Citadel' after they wanted to encircle our troops on the fourth day of the attack. Our defense turned out to be stronger. And with this we had created the necessary conditions for the transition to the planned counter-offensive. If one asks about the most important result of the defensive battle, then, in my opinion, the destruction of the German tank formations should be called, because this created a particularly favorable balance of forces for us in this important type of weapons. A significant contribution to this was the victory of the great tank encounter battle south of Prokhorovka. I have witnessed this truly titanic duel of two steel armads, which on July 12. had taken place on the southern section of the Kursk Arc. Up to 1200 tanks and self-propelled guns were involved in it. There is still a document from this period, which I sent from this room to the Supreme Commander on July 14. and which bears eloquent testimony to what happened."According to your personal instruction, since the evening of 7. 9. 43 I have been constantly staying with the troops of Rotmistrov and Shadows in the Prokhorovka direction and in the south direction. The enemy, as before, continues its massed tank attacks and counterattacks against our tank troops on the Shadows and Rotmistrov fronts. A breakthrough had been made in the army of Kryuchenkin, through which serious danger threatened the rear of the main forces of Rotmistrov and a corps of Shadows. In order to close them, two mechanized brigades from the 5th Infantry corps and some units of Redmistrov's troops will be deployed and transferred to the Shakhovo -Avdeyevka -Alexandrovka area. In order to liquidate the breakthrough in the Shadow army, on 7/12/43 the remaining units of the 5th Mechanized Corps had to be thrown into the rooms of Vesyoly, Vasilyevka and Petrovka. As a result, the force of the main impact of Rotmistrov from the direction of Prokhorovka to the south-west was significantly weakened. From observations of the course of the battle and from prisoner statements, I would like to conclude that the enemy, despite his huge losses, continues to insist on breaking through to Oboyan and Kursk without fail. Yesterday I personally observed a tank battle between our 18th and 29th corps and over 300 enemy tanks in the counterattack southwest of Prokhorovka. At the same time, hundreds of guns and all our available launchers took part in the battle. After an hour, the whole battlefield was littered with burning German and Soviet tanks.
Within two days, the 29th Tank Corps of Rotmistrov lost 60 percent and the 18th Kops 30 percent of its tanks: the losses in the 5th Mechanized Corps are insignificant. I believe that an enemy tank breakthrough from the south into the area of Shaovo-Avdeyevka-Alexandrovka is also possible for tomorrow. Tonight I will take measures to transfer the entire 5th Mechanized Corps, the 32nd Motorized Brigade and 4 Tank hunter Regiments here. In view of the strong enemy tank forces in the direction of Prokhorovka, the main forces of Rotmistrov and a rifle corps of Shadows were given the limited task for the 14th-7th to smash the enemy in the Storoshevoye-north Storoshevoye-Sovkhoz 'Komsomolets' area, to reach the Gryaznoye-Yasnaya Polina line and thus reliably cover the Prokhorovka direction.Even tomorrow a tank encounter battle is not excluded here. As before, no less than 11 tank divisions are acting here against the Voronezh Front, which are being systematically replenished.The message was delayed because I came back late from the front. 7/14/43, 2:47 a.m. From the 5th Guards Tank Army.“The Second stage of the Kursk Battle began on July 12 and lasted until August 23.“Wassiliewsky, Sache des ganzen Lebens, Berlin 1977, pp. 307 f.
