What kind of monster imprisons three women in his basement for years? That is what more than a few people would like to know about Cleveland suspect Ariel Castro. (We note that (a) he is innocent until proven guilty but that (b) the evidence against him is overwhelming.)
Specific birth time and location are not available for him at this time. (We do not have access to his birth certificate, and specifics are not yet available.) So, we have created a bi-wheel for his reported date of birth and the date of the rescue. While the positions of the Moon and the Ascendant for both are in question, the resulting chart is still “interesting.”

Our method of rectification is simple. But, first, keep in mind that we are operating with little to work with, and this is just a “best guess.” That said, we looked at the charts and looked for the position of the moon on the day of rescue in relation to Castro’s birth chart. We are guessing that the rescue happened in daylight hours though we are unsure whether closer to noon or sunset. (We are using noon.)
We have adjusted Castro’s birth chart so that the Moon is just above the 7th house cusp (relationships and open enemies) on the day of the rescue. Our other choices would be to put the Moon at the Midheaven (six hours earlier) or the IC (six hours later).
But, with the Moon on the 7th house cusp we note that Mercury, Mars, the Sun, the South Node, Pallas, and Venus are in an 8th house stellium (the 8th being the house of death as well as torture; we would also consider alternative versions that place these planets in a 12th house stellium of imprisonment and misfortune).
We note that transiting Juno (spousal relationships and especially issues involving treachery to spouses and family members) either recently aspected his Moon or is in the process of doing so.
Below is a “synastry grid” (usually used to identify compatibility between two people, but used here to identify relationships between Castro’s birth chart and the date of the rescue:

For now, that is all we have to say. But, with more data later, we might update this article or write a subsequent article.
Solar Eclipse (May, 2013 aka New Moon May, 2013)
May 8, 2013 at 11:26 pm | Posted in 2013, 2013-Lunations, Astrology, Events | 4 CommentsTags: Astrology, eclipse, New Moon, newmoon, Pallas, solar eclipse
We have a Solar Eclipse at hand, visible in the South Pacific from Australia and other nearby locations. Here is the chart, set for Plano:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Astrology traditionally views eclipses as being highly malefic (bad). They are agents of change, and major shifts sometimes occur for some people in the days near (before or after) an eclipse.
This one has a precise (less than one degree) conjunction to Pallas. This speaks loudly to women who are warriors, whether by choice or by forced situation. The three women in Cleveland who recently escaped from being held captive come to mind. We wish them well, and we hope they find justice against their oppressors.
Full Moon, April 2013

Here is the full moon chart for April, 2013.
[Click on Image to Enlarge]
As you might notice, the Moon is close to Saturn, and the Sun is close to Mars. Mars and Saturn are not (yet) in opposition, but this lunation highlights the opposition that soon follows. With the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus, we expect some power struggles to “come to a head” at this time, or just after when Mars opposes Saturn.
California in particular, and the western part of the United States, are highly activated at this time. Here is the map:

What new dramas will emerge in the west at this time? We cannot say. But, we expect something.
Update: we have quite a bit of interest in this Full Moon (traffic is four time heavier than usual), so for your convenience I have the following links: (I cannot vouch for any of the content, this is just to help you navigate.)

Here is a map of the UK and Europe for this Full Moon (and Eclipse). I note that Ireland and Scotland are highly activated by this event. (Keeping in mind the activation of California, do we have any Scots or Irish living there? How about Californians in Ireland or Scotland? Could be interesting.)

Here is a map for Australia and New Zealand. Quite a bit of activity there, too, but what leaps out are the close proximity of Pluto and Uranus lines, not too far from Darwin. (What is it about Darwin?)

Mars Conjunct Sun (April 2013): Explosion at West, Texas
April 18, 2013 at 9:26 pm | Posted in 2013, Astrology, BadDays, Events | Leave a commentTags: Astrology, explosion, explosions, Mars
As interesting as the chart is, the map is even more interesting. Here is a Solar Maps map of the time reported for the explosion:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Note that this same line (Mars/Sun conjunct) also passes through Dallas and Austin. Why this location? That is a question for someone else to answer. But, the Mars/Sun conjunction occurred at 28 Aries on a day with no other (major) aspects.
Here is the chart:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Of course, the last three degrees of any sign are said to be the “fated” degrees and have been discussed at length in relation to unfavorable events. Mars rules Aries and is in its home. And, the same stellium associated with the Boston Marathon explosion a few days later is in the sixth house at this location. (We would not expect the sixth house to be as malefic as the eighth, but apparently it was in this case.)
Mars Conjuct Algol, May 24, 2013

The period of days near May 24, 2013 are likely to be a dangerous period. At this time, Mars will move into a conjunction with Algol. We expect an event that has the potential to eclipse the intensity of events earlier this Spring.
Boston Marathon Bombing 2013
April 15, 2013 at 5:30 pm | Posted in 2013, Astrology, BadDays, Events | 8 CommentsTags: Astrology, baddays, bombing, Boston Marathon, terrorist
Here is the chart for the Boston Marathon bombing. We are using the time reported by television news, “about 2:50 PM.” If that time is correct, and we suspect that it is, then we are inclined to wonder if the bomber had the advise of an astrologer in planning the bombing. First, here are different versions of the same chart of the bombing:
[Click on Image to Enlarge]
Note the 8th House stellium of Aries planets, including Uranus and Mars. Much later and this combination of planets would not have been in alignment. (A stellium is a huge “exclamation mark” and this one has Mars (violence, war, and athletes) and Uranus (explosions, among other things) in the 8th house (of death and taxes).
Here is the horary version of that same chart:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Moon is quite close to culminating an aspect to Mars. (After this, Luna goes void.) Sun is applying to a conjunction to Mars, perfecting in the next 24 hours.
The map shows the Neptune setting line that is obvious from the Chart. That line is north and east of Boston. We would not be surprised to learn that the bomber was operating from an area north and east of Boston. In fact, we would expect that the base of the bomber was actually somewhere in rural New England, to the north and east of Boston.
Here is the map:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Will the bomber be caught? We think so. They appear to be represented by Neptune, and this means that some will perceive them as a “martyr” rather than a terrorist. (This also means that, potentially, the wrong person could be accused. But, we do think this one will be solved.) Neptune has difficulty keeping secrets, and located in the 7th house of “open enemies” we expect the identity (or identities) of the bombers to come out.
We note in our recent “New Moon April 2013” commentary that “You will notice that this chart is dominated by Fire as an element. Fire is not necessarily literally fire(s), but can be explosions both literal (an oil rig explodes) or figurative (a person on a rampage).” A “Double Yod Key” perfected yesterday (April 14th). In many ways, the Spring of 2013 seems to have certain important similarities to Spring of 2010. A number of tragedies have struck us so far this Spring, including this one. We would not be surprised to see more.
P.S. To the guy who wanted me to cancel his email subscription: apparently WordPress does not give me control over that. You will have to do that yourself, or maybe contact Automattic support to have that done for you. (I apologize for any inconvenience.)
New Moon April 2013
March 29, 2013 at 10:22 am | Posted in Astrology | 4 CommentsThis year, the Aries New Moon activates certain parts of the United States. (More on this in a moment.) Here is the basic chart:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
You will notice that this chart is dominated by Fire as an element. Fire is not necessarily literally fire(s), but can be explosions both literal (an oil rig explodes) or figurative (a person on a rampage). Fire is also indicative of leadership and initiative. The Fire of Spring is all about starting new things.
We note that New Orleans is activated by a Chiron and Neptune crossing. This can mean many things, ranging from a healing from Katrina to bracing for a hurricane season even worse than the one that brought Katrina. Whatever the case, we predict New Orleans is a place to watch this year.
Saturn in Scorpio at Midheaven has a line along the northern portion of the West Coast. We think this may indicate the possibility of more earthquakes, significant earthquakes, in this region this year. And, more generally, a number of complex activations are lighting up eastern Washington, Idaho, and Western Montanna. Nevada is part of this mix as well. We expect a series of complex and important issues to emerge in this region of the country.
Here is the map:

While this is not an eclipse, we have a number of eclipses this year. Jude Cowell has written this excellent piece about the eclipses this year.
Double Yod Keys of Spring 2013
March 26, 2013 at 12:45 am | Posted in 2013, Astrology, BadDays, Patterns | Leave a commentTags: Astrology, double yod key, full moon, FullMoon, Yod, Yods
A number of complex (and powerful!) patterns are forming this Spring. One that is showing itself repeatedly is the Double Yod Key. Here is a list (from Solar Fire 8) of these patterns (through the end of June, 2013).

Here are associated charts:
This one is happening concurrent with the intensely active Full Moon of March 27th. As I have mentioned elsewhere, this period has been a bit difficult for me. Here is the chart:

Finally, here is the May DYK:

So, what does this mean?
It means that we have decisions to make, and no matter what we choose we find that we are uncomfortable with it. We have false hopes for outcomes and are inevitably disappointed. But, even worse, this pattern keeps repeating, hammering us with Karma that just will not go away. It is as if the Universe does not care whether or not we learned the lesson, we are doomed to continue to repeat. “OK, I got it already!” does not seem to work here.
Frankly, it looks like a rather unpleasant period.
Once again, I hope that I am wrong.
If you are comparing this sequence to other periods, take a look at the Stretched Pentagram of January 26th. Collectively, we turned an important corner on that date. (I cannot tell you exactly WHAT happened, but I know something did. It may not “show” itself until the Year of the Black Water Snake is over.) My best guess is that it might involve the Tornado Outbreak shortly after that pattern culminated.
We also note that a similar kind of formation of yods occurred on December 14, the day of the Newtown shootings by Adam Lanza.
Hopefully nothing that awful will happen with these configurations.
Mass Murder Spreadsheet
March 22, 2013 at 1:55 am | Posted in BadDays, FamousPeople | Leave a commentTags: Adam Lanza, Astrology
Something has come to light that is a major insight into the shooter at Newtown: he planned the event for years. In fact, he developed a large and complex spreadsheet tracking the activities of other serial killers and mass murderers. Apparently the spreadsheet was developed from the perspective of a video gamer.
…the gunman in the shooting rampage at a Connecticut school, was obsessed with past mass killings and even created a detailed spreadsheet more than 7-feet long documenting hundreds of killing sprees and attempted murders, the New York Daily News reports. [USA Today]
See, also, the following links:
He didn’t snap that day, he wasn’t one of those guys who was mad as hell and wasn’t going to take it anymore,” the man said. “He had been planning this thing forever. In the end, it was just a perfect storm: These guns, one of them an AR-15, in the hands of a violent, insane gamer. It was like porn to a rapist. They feed on it until they go out and say, enough of the video screen. Now I’m actually going to be a hunter. [New York Daily News]
Capricorn Moon / Taurus Sun: persistent practically stubborn effort over time.
March 2013 Full Moon (Aries / Libra)
March 14, 2013 at 12:28 am | Posted in 2013, 2013-Lunations, Astrology | Leave a commentTags: aries, Astrology, full moon, FullMoon, libra, vernal equinox
A few days after the Vernal Equinox of 2013, which is a few days after a Mercury Direct Station, the full moon culminates. The is a Libra Moon opposite the Sun in Aries.
Most of the planets that were in Pisces have moved into Aries at this point. They are applying to a sextile to Jupiter in Gemini. This is a fortunate time for those with strong Fire and Air components in their natal charts, and it may be one of the best times this year for people (or other entities, such as corporations) to achieve critical results.
A yod involving Jupiter (Gemini) and Saturn & Pluto (Scorpio & Capricorn, respectively) is also present here and though roughly April 10th. Decisions will be made during this window that will affect many people for years to come.
Here is the chart:
[Click on Graphic to Enlarge Image]
Here is the aspect grid, produced in PAT and perhaps easier to read:
[Click on Graphic to Enlarge Image]
This is another highly active period. Almost every block of the aspect grid is filled with SOMEthing. Compare, for example, the aspect grid from PAT for the moment when this chart was cast (March 14th):
[Click on Graphic to Enlarge Image]
Note that this grid is not nearly as active, and it is a more “typical” grid if you were just to pick a random time to produce a grid. In contrast, the full moon grid has four squares to Pluto and four quincunxes (inconjuncts) to Saturn. Frankly, this looks like a very difficult period.
That said, we can safely assume that this is a highly activated full moon, and since it is following both the Vernal Equinox and the Mercury direct station, we expect “interesting” events to occur at this time. This could be another period similar to the Spring / Summer of 2010 with multiple disasters that culminated in the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
Here is a list of aspects at this time, sorted from shortest term to longest term. (You can use this to plan your time horizons for whatever it is that you are launching at this time.)
| Neptune | quincunx | Moon | |
| Jupiter | trine | Moon | |
| Pluto | square | Moon | |
| Mercury | quincunx | Moon | |
| Sun | opposite | Moon | |

| Mars | conjunct | Uranus | and ends April 5, 2013 (29 days) |
| Mercury | square | Jupiter | and ends April 6, 2013 (35 days) |
| Mercury | trine | Saturn | and ends April 4, 2013 (39 days) |
| Venus | conjunct | Mars | and ends April 27, 2013 (43 days) |
| Jupiter | quincunx | Saturn | and ends April 10, 2013 (45 days) |
| Jupiter | quincunx | Pluto | and ends April 21, 2013 (65 days) |
| Saturn | quincunx | Uranus | and ends May 14, 2013 (69 days) |
| Sun | conjunct | Venus | and ends May 6, 2013 (80 days) |
| Sun | conjunct | Mars | and ends May 30, 2013 (89 days) |
| Jupiter | sextile | Uranus | and ends April 15, 2013 (122 days) |
| Saturn | sextile | Pluto | and ends May 28, 2013 (217 days) |
| Saturn | trine | Neptune | and ends October 9, 2013 (218 days) |
| Uranus | square | Pluto | and ends June 15, 2016 (5 years) |
Depending on the result you desire, take into account the time horizons of the above table. The lunar aspects only last a few hours, certainly less than twenty four hours.
