Astrologist predicts war will end this year

6 March 1915 - The editor of the Modern Astrology journal has published ‘a scientific prediction’ that the war will end during 1915.

In an article entitled ‘When the war will end’, Alan Leo offers his opinion, based on ‘scientific astrological study’, that after battles in France and Flanders peace will follow later in the year.
