Hiroshima's background
Hiroshima was the city in Japan that was destroyed by the first atomic bomb dropped by the USA during WWII. The bomb was dropped from a Boeing B-29 Superfortress named Enola Gay, after the mother of its commander, Colonel Paul Tibbets . She was born Enola Gay Haggard, in Iowa on 29 September 1892.
When looking at the events surrounding the bombing of Hiroshima, there are some strange factors that should be looked at. Notably the cases of Tsutomu Yamaguchi , who was present at both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and survived both bombs; and that of Jacob Beser , who flew on both bombing missions.
Also, there is the story of Wilfred Burchett who was the first Western journalist into Hiroshima following the bombing, and who's report made a huge impact, given that it presented a 'warning to the World' that differed from the official line from the US Government.
What makes Hiroshima such a great example?
Hiroshima, the dropping of the bomb, makes a good astrological example, because it demonstrates the manner in which events that at first sight do not have anything to do with one another, actually are meaningfully connected. Without the birth of his mother, Col. Tibbets would not have been born, neither would the plane have been called Enola Gay.
19450726 Harry Truman and the Potsdam Ultimatum calling on Japan to Surrender

On 26 July 1945 President Harry Truman issued the Potsdam Declaration, which warned Japan of 'prompt and utter destruction' and required unconditional surrender of the Japanese armed forces. This was refused by Japan on the 29 July, which led to the bombing on the 6 August.
One of the first things to notice is that Truman was born with a conjunction of Mercury, Chiron and Pluto.

- Transiting Pluto sextile Harry Truman's Saturn
In the chart shown here, the inner chart is the birth of Harry Truman, while the outer shows the date of the Potsdam ultimatum for Japan to surrender.
The outstanding feature here is that transiting Mars was conjunct natal Mercury, Chiron, and Pluto, for Harry Truman.
19450806 Hiroshima and Enola Gay

The astounding thing is, that seeing the astrological connections, it shows a meaningful link between events that are half a century apart, yet are connected by names, by history, and by astrology.
- Enola Gay's Mercury square the Hiroshima bomb's Venus
- Enola Gay's Mercury conjunct the Hiroshima bomb's Chiron
- Enola Gay's Mars opposite the Hiroshima bomb's Sun

- Enola Gay's Mars nearly trine the Hiroshima bomb's Mars

- Enola Gay's Mars opposite the Hiroshima bomb's Pluto

- Enola Gay's Saturn conjunct the Hiroshima bomb's Neptune
- Enola Gay's Uranus sextile the Hiroshima bomb's Mercury

- Enola Gay's Neptune sextile the Hiroshima bomb's Pluto
- Enola Gay's Pluto conjunct the Hiroshima bomb's Mars

- Enola Gay's Pluto sextile the Hiroshima bomb's Pluto

In the chart shown here, the inner chart is of the moment that Little Boy was detonated over Hiroshima, while the outer shows the day in 1892 when Enola Gay Haggard was born.
The two events are connected by some remarkable transits, especially the Mars Pluto connections..
Colonel Paul Tibbets

Paul Tibbets personally selected and named the aircraft after his mother and piloted it on the mission, making him the man most directly responsible for delivering the bomb. The astounding thing is how closely his own birthchart connects to the moment of detonation, given as a purely practical matter he could have piloted the mission on any number of different days.

- Transiting Saturn opposition Paul Tibbets's Venus
- Transiting Saturn trine Paul Tibbets's Chiron
- Transiting Uranus square Paul Tibbets's Chiron
- Transiting Chiron square Paul Tibbets's Pluto
In the chart shown here, the inner chart is of midday on the day in 1915 when Colonel Paul Tibbets was born, while the outer shows the moment that Little Boy was detonated over Hiroshima.
The two events are connected by some remarkable transits, especially the tight aspects to Tibbets's own Sun and Saturn, which is exactly the kind of personal, identity-level connection you would expect to see at the moment someone carries out the single most consequential act of their life.
Tsutomu Yamaguchi

Tsutomu Yamaguchi was a Mitsubishi engineer who survived the Hiroshima bombing while on a business trip, then travelled home to Nagasaki in time to survive the second bomb three days later, making him the only person officially recognised by the Japanese government as a survivor of both attacks. The astounding thing is that his birthchart shows a repeated, almost doubled connection to the moment of the Hiroshima detonation, echoing the doubled nature of his own extraordinary survival.

In the chart shown here, the inner chart is of the birth of Tsutomu Yamaguchi, set for midday because the time is unknown, while the transits show the moment that Little Boy was detonated over Hiroshima at 8:15am.

Jacob Beser

Jacob Beser was the radar countermeasures officer whose job was to make sure nothing jammed or accidentally triggered the bomb, and he is the only man known to have flown on both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki missions. The astounding thing is, again, how directly his own chart connects to the moment of detonation, given that of the entire crew he was one of only two men who flew on both raids.

- Transiting Uranus square Jacob Beser's Saturn
- Transiting Pluto conjunct Jacob Beser's Neptune
In the chart shown here, the inner chart is of the birth of Jacob Beser, set for midday because the time is unknown, while the transits show the moment that Little Boy was detonated over Hiroshima at 8:15am.

Wilfred Burchett visits Hiroshima

Wilfred Burchett, an Australian war correspondent, defied the US military's control of the press to travel alone to Hiroshima by train in September 1945, and filed the report 'The Atomic Plague', which was the first account to alert the world to the effects of radiation sickness, directly contradicting official US denials that the bomb had any lingering effects. The astounding thing is that his own chart shows a personal, activating connection to the city at the moment he arrived there, fitting for a story that became so personally defining for his career.
