The Parkland, Florida Shooting And The Related Eclipses





Yes, the Parkland shooting (at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School) took place the day before a solar eclipse and it is important to make note of that. People were stirred up and that might have been a catalyst for the gunman’s decision to take action at the time. However, I think we need to take a look at some other prior eclipses that are important and that were stimulated/activated at the time of the shooting.


First, the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 - the Great American eclipse - was stimulated/activated by the Sun (in opposition to the eclipse point). And, this eclipse was visible in much of the USA. In the chart for this eclipse (over Washington DC), we see that Mars is widely conjunct the eclipse point, and Mars is the planet that rules firearms and guns. Therefore, this eclipse is probably more related to this event than the February 15 eclipse. If we look at the chart for the state of Florida, we see that Mercury is at 27 degrees Aquarius. And, Mercury is the ruler of the chart. With transiting Sun conjunct, important news from the state was expected. In the state of Florida chart, Venus is at 24 degrees Aquarius. Libra, which Venus rules, is encapsulated within the fifth house in Florida’s chart. Transiting Mercury (in the event chart) conjunct Venus tells us that this important news involves children. In the state of Florida chart, the Sun is at 13 Pisces. In the event chart, transiting Mars is at 12 Sagittarius (and, in square aspect to Florida’s Sun). In Florida’s chart, the Descendant is at 13 Sagittarius, so transiting Mars was conjunct. Transiting Neptune (in the event chart) is at 13 Pisces and conjunct Florida’s Sun.


Another eclipse that we need to look at is the lunar eclipse on August 7, 2017. This eclipse occurred at 15 Aquarius. Mars is conjunct the Sun in this eclipse chart and as such is the ruler of the chart. The Moon (in the shooting event chart) is at 14 Aquarius and conjunct this eclipse point. The lunar node is at 15 Leo in the shooting event chart. Asteroid Cruz is at 17 Leo. Ceres (and Venus) is at 12 Cancer and the eighth house of death in the eclipse chart. In the state of Florida chart, the Moon is at 12 Capricorn. Sadly, there were a lot of grieving mothers after this incident.


There is one more eclipse to look at, which occurred on September 1, 2016 - a solar eclipse at 9 Virgo and in a moderate opposition to the Sun in Florida’s chart. The eclipse is conjunct fixed star Antares. In that eclipse chart, Mars is at 14 Sagittarius and conjunct Saturn and in square aspect to the eclipse point. In Florida’s chart, the Descendant is at 13 Sagittarius.. Neptune is at 11 Pisces and in opposition to the eclipse point and setting up an ominous t-square. Transiting Mars (in the shooting event chart) was activating this eclipse by square aspect. Pluto is at 15 Capricorn and in the fifth house of children in this eclipse chart and conjunct the Moon in Florida’s chart. So, this eclipse is related to the event, and it might even be the most important one.


In a location chart, the Moon represents the people. And, in the chart for the state of Florida, the Moon resides in Capricorn. Saturn rules Capricorn, and it is on the Descendant in the shooting event chart. The victims of this event are the people of Florida. The fifth house (of children) in the shooting event chart is ruled by Venus, and transiting Mars is in square aspect to transiting Venus in this event chart.






The killer, Nikolas Cruz, was born September 24, 1998 (exact time is unknown, so I've used the 12 Noon chart). His natal Mars is at 22 Leo. The lunar eclipse of February 10, 2017 fell conjunct his natal Mars. This is the month that he purchased the gun that he used in the killings, although I cannot find an exact date. He committed this atrocity about a year later as transiting Mercury conjoined this eclipse point and transiting Jupiter squared it. His natal Pluto is at 6 Sagittarius. Mars had conjoined his natal Pluto just days before the shooting.

Miscellaneous Astrological Musings - February, 2018






The Stock Market Plunge



On Monday (February 5), the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1,175 points - it’s worst day of performance in several years. All the other indices were down sharply as well. What happened - Astrologically speaking? Well, the Sun had stimulated the lunar eclipse of August 7, 2017 at 15 Aquarius. The chart for the NYSE shows Uranus at 15 degrees and 09 minutes Leo. The aspect (Sun opposite Uranus and conjunct the eclipse point) actually occurred over the weekend, however Monday was the first trading day afterwards (and, the eclipse was still stimulated - within a two degree orb). The DJIA actually plunged almost 1,600 points at one time during the day before rebounding before the close (to just down 1,175). The market should continue to be somewhat volatile moving forward.


In my blog post for this eclipse, I wrote:


The stock market could experience a downturn or some other type of transformation.


Astrologers use a number of different charts to symbolize the formation of the USA. In all of the charts using July 4, 1776 as the date of formation, Saturn is now in opposition to Jupiter in the chart(s).








SpaceX



And, then on February 6, Elon Musk’s Falcon Heavy rocket launched successfully. In that same blog post, I wrote:


For the US, the eclipse falls in the third house in the eclipse chart over Washington DC. The lunar eclipse in Aquarius will affect the airline industry, the legal profession, higher education, communications/media, automobile industry, and the space program.

In NASA’s chart, Uranus is at 15 degrees and 11 minutes Leo. Saturn trines from 18 Sagittarius.

The other day a client mentioned to me that he had been having high blood sugar problems recently. So, I looked at his natal chart - he has a t-square with natal Venus at the apex. His natal Venus is in the twelfth house and squares natal Uranus/Pluto on one side and natal Saturn/Chiron on the other side. His natal Jupiter is sesquisquare his natal Venus. The problem likely started when Saturn was transiting Sagittarius and conjoined his natal Venus (and stimulated this configuration in his chart) last year.
