Solunars by Aldebaran Sidereal Academy

England's destruction of the Spanish armada occurred just off Calais, France, in a battle that began at midnight (0:00), July 28, 1588.
Though the Battle of Calais was not the final step in the Armada's destruction, it was the decisive step, and in any case was one of history's great battles. (As far as I can tell, this is the OS date, but I can't find anything that says so decisively.)

If this is OS, then it occurred the night of a Capricorn Full Moon - the same Full Moon under which John Dee had been born - and started as a blazing Full Moon was high in the southern sky in the exaltation degree of Mars, 28° Capricorn.

This is borderline dormant. The Moon-Mars is sound enough, the Pluto may be a little wide. The importance is that, if dormant, it allows the prior week's Liblunar to flow through and, for Calais, that Liblunar had:

So, we're all living talismans

The influence of the weather on battles has been something of interest. In my mind, I classify the Spanish Armada, the defeat of the Chinese armada through the agency of a hurricane, and the defeat of Xerxes' fleet by Greek cleverness and weather (near to the Battle of Thermopylae) as being similar enough to warrant an examination for astrological similarities.

Not a naval battle, but the Nazi invasion of the USSR saw the worst winter in years turn against them. The Allied invasion of D-Day, in contrast, used bad weather in its favor, under cover of fog, and at low tide when conditions for an invasion were deemed unfavorable, creating a psychological advantage in Nazi unpreparedness.

Excellent point D.
