i posted this on FB- just a short update with only a quick glance at charts of what occurred last night in las vegas (the worst shooting tragedy in the history of the USA).
i am posting here for my readers who are not FB. when tragedy strikes- after the initial shock and grief- astrologers will look at the astrology to try to make sense of things. this is my offering in my own attempt to try to make sense <3 ~dh i just looked at the chart for las vegas and vegas has an EXACT square between PLUTO and ERIS, with eris on the sun by less than a degree (so sun/eris is square to pluto in the chart). chiron the wounded healer just triggered it last night for the 2nd time (chiron conjunct eris, square pluto). the SATURN CHIRON SQUARE- a transit i have been calling 'the core wound territory' transit- is triggering this powerful configuration all year long (from feb 2017 to feb 2018). in addition the JUPITER URANUS OPPOSITION that was exact last week and was in SUPER ASPECT through monday 10/2 (jupiter and uranus aspected by degree and declination from 9/27-10/2) and this opposition was exactly square the natal uranus of vegas (and the natal pluto of america!). this is the 2nd of 3 uranus squares for vegas (last one is in april 2018) but it was the one and only jupiter trigger. i know jupiter is seen as benevolent but he is also the planet of exacerbation and excess. in opposition to uranus- he can amplify and exacerbate anger, aggression and violence and sudden and unexpected things can happen. (we are seeing this all over with the other various shocking events going on in the world right now). i just got the birth info of the shooter (4/9/53) and so looked at his chart. he has his progressed mars at 29 gemini- about to be hit by the saturn/chiron square. mars rules anger, violence and in gemini perhaps going crazy? he also has had pluto opposing his uranus which can unearth some big emotions and unexpected energy in the psyche. and lastly i saw his progressed chiron almost exactly square his natal sun. he has a natal sun/chiron square but chiron has been retrograde in his progressed chart- and it was or is about to be exact (i cast his chart for noon- if he was born after noon chiron could be exactly square his sun). clearly lots of wounding and activation of deep stuff up for this man. again i am sending so much Love to all my friends, family, clients and students in las vegas- and to all who are connected to them (and really to the whole planet). blessings... ~dh
