Denver Shootings at King Sooper 2021-03-22
In our post about the Georgia Spa Killings of March 16, 2021, we stated in reference to the Thor’s Hammer (God’s Fist) pattern in the Vernal Equinox of 2021 (first day of Spring AND the Astrological New Year) that “Other Tragedies May Follow.” Sadly, this has proven to be true: the “Denver Shootings at King Sooper #33” in Boulder, Colorado on March 22, 2021 are exactly the kind of event we feared.
Information is sketchy. We have no name for the shooter at this time and certainly no birth data. (But, unconfirmed information is circulating.) (Update: March 23rd @ 1248 CDT Plano TX : Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold has identified the suspect : “Al Aliwi Alissa,” 21, a Syrian-born man and resident of Arvada, Colorado Birth Data : Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa’s date of birth has been reported as 4/17/1999. No birth time is available (yet), but we have proposed possible natal charts for Al Aliwi Alissa.)
Timing of events is missing; We are using 5:33 CDT (time of announcement on CBS News in Dallas) and treating the chart more like an horary (in reverse, like “Jeopardy”) with adjustments to Boulder, Colorado.
Update: Police Chief Maris Herold has provided useful timing that we will use for future analysis: (1) police arrived on the scene at approximately 2:40 PM MDT and (2) the suspect was taken into custody at 3:28 PM MDT. Since we are receiving this information during a Moon v/c period (Moon in Cancer, so she “performeth somewhat” according to William Lilly.), we will wait on publishing any additional analysis (or analyses) until later.
An aside : Numerology: 2021-03-22 reduces to a nine (9) and disappears leaving the store #: Store #33!
To be certain, this chart does not easily give up its secrets. But, digging into it is worthwhile. We will first cover the key points, expand them, then provide the various filtered versions of the chart to support our analysis.
Key Points
The following points matter:
– Like the Atlanta shooter chart, this is a death chart, and for the same reasons
– Asc is in the first three degrees of Virgo (“too early to tell”) and more information will be forthcoming, possibly after the moon changes signs (from its home in Cancer into Leo); BUT Regulus is on the ascendant, also, and that raises important issues about “avoiding revenge.”- Algol is conjunct MC of chart: among other things, Algol is about beheadings (literal) and “losing your head” (doing terrible things that ruin your life)
– Three objects are key in this chart: Mercury, Mars, and Vesta
– Uranus, Pluto, and the Nodes are also important, but they are part of a bigger picture, a worrisome configuration that extends beyond the events of this chart
– Mercury / Vesta and the Nodes form a Grand Cross (Mars is part of it)
– A “Golden Yod” is present: two biquintile objects that quintile each other and have an apex planet; the legendary “abuse of power” is in play here
– A Hele is present (an ongoing Hele, and this is about politics more than the details of the shooting)
– Other aspects are also in play (particularly with Sun and Chiron) also
The Denver Shooter Chart is a Death Chart
The casual observer might say, “that’s obvious.” But, we mean this is a death chart in a technical sense. Here’s why:
The ruler of the 8th is in the 10th. The 8th house cusp of this chart is Aries, and the ruler of Aries (Mars) is in the 10th House (and this brings fame). THAT makes sense given that the chart is an ANNOUNCEMENT of the deaths.
However, at least some (if not all) of the shootings happened earlier, and that means MORE planets are in the 8th, possibly as many as the 8th House Stellium of the chart of the start of the Atlanta Shootings.
Those two facts (Ruler of the 8th in the 10th; 8th House Stellium) make this a death chart.
Ascendant (“Too Early to Tell”)
Asc is in the first three degrees of Virgo (“too early to tell”) and more information will be forthcoming, possibly after the moon changes signs (from its home in Cancer into Leo)
Given “considerations” used by Horary practitioners, particularly those that follow the work of William Lily, this chart is not “fit to be read.”
Practically speaking, that means the story will change. Facts have been concealed (probably by the police since this is an “ongoing investigation”), and our view of the events will likely undergo some changes later.
Regulus is at the ascendant. Regulus is ordinarily a beneficial (and powerful!) star that promises success “if revenge is avoided.” A certain individual has been identified as possibly being a shooter (we will withhold the name until later), and this particular individual has a history of attempting to engage in “revenge.” (Are we surprised where this led?) Update: (March 23rd @ 1424 CDT (Plano TX) : The shooter has been identified, and also had “revenge” issues, but different from the initial individual who was incorrectly singled out by unidentified internet sources. Again, “too early to tell” at the time of the announcement on network television.)

Algol at Midheaven
Algol, the most malefic of fixed stars, is at Midheaven of the chart, the most powerful position. We have written about Algol (“the ghoul”) and how malefic it is a number of times in the past, particularly with the Vernal Equinox of 2010.
Mercury, Mars, and Vesta
We already have explored Vesta in the recent Atlanta shooting analysis. We will say, here, that we note that a police officer was among the ten victims who were murdered.
[Click Image to Open in New Tab]
But, that is not the end of the story. Mercury is square Mars, one of the most malefic planetary aspects (the others are variants on Mars or Pluto). Again, like Algol at MC, that is a powerful pronouncement.
(Note that Mercury is semisquare Pluto, also!)
[Click Image to Open in New Tab]
BUT, Mercury is opposite Vesta (“exact,” meaning less than a degree and “partile”); Vesta squares Mars also; the three form a T-Square.
But, when is a T-Square not a T-Square? The answer is “when it is part of a Grand Cross.” In this case, the nodes are in play with Mars applying to a conjunction with the North Node (and, therefore, opposite the South Node). Include the nodes, and we have a Grand Cross in play.
[Click Image to Open in New Tab]
Uranus, Pluto, and the Nodes
We could stop and have a successful analysis of this chart. But, as is popular to say among late night advertisers, “but wait, there’s more!” And, there is.
Uranus is sesquiquadrate the South Node and Pluto is sesquiquadrate the North Node. This is the most disturbing aspect of the chart since, similar to the Thor’s Hammer in the Vernal Equinox, it is a longer term kind of effect, signaling a series of problems involving death and violence during this period.
[Click Image to Open in New Tab]
We may see a rash of shooters, mixed in with weather disasters and other devastating events.
Golden Yod (5th Harmonic)
A Golden Yod is present. This SHOULD be a benevolent pattern, but it gives an enormous amount of power (and encourages abuse of power). Adolf Hitler had one of these in his birth chart. More specifically, Moon and Uranus form a Golden Yod with the South Node at the Apex.
[Click Image to Open in New Tab]
In Karmic terms, this shooter has participated in similar dramas for many lifetimes. So far, he has not learned the lesson.
Hele
A hele is present. This will be politicized, just as the Atlanta Shootings has been.
[Click Image to Open in New Tab]
Expect “mainstream media” to use these deaths as fodder for their narrative.
Midpoints
We will not explore those here (at this time).
But here is the midpoints version.

Georgia Spa Killings (2021 Atlanta spa shootings) 2021-03-16

Georgia Spa Killings (2021 Atlanta spa shootings) 2021-03-16
With the advent of a Vernal Equinox dominated by a Thor’s Hammer pattern (which we have discussed many times), and the Mass Murder in Atlanta on March 16th of 2021, we will present a (preliminary) analysis of the events based on the information that we have available. (However, as of this writing, we have no birth data for the shooter.)
Time of Chart
Most interesting is that the available time information is far more accurate than such data has been in the past. Assuming that the reports have been truthful (and we have no reason to believe otherwise), we can construct charts for analysis.
Importance of Vesta in this Chart
We note that the Solar Maps United States Map on the Vernal Equinox shows a Pallas line activation of Atlanta although Pallas is not ordinarily malefic. Our preliminary analysis interpreted the role of Vesta in the Thor’s Hammer as affecting collectives such as police and nurses.
HOWEVER, Vesta is well known as being symbolic of prostitution and prostitutes, particularly those individuals who engage in the behavior for reasons that are arguably noble. (What does that mean? Historically, the “Vestal Virgins” sometimes engaged in prostitution to bring in resources for their temples. At least one news report has made it clear that one of the victims who worked in that trade was a single mother using the money to support her children.)
See. also : USA Today: Hyun Jung Grant, killed in Atlanta shootings, was a ‘loving’ single mom who lived for her sons.
Other Tragedies May Follow
Our work invariably lacks a level of precision that so many in our field seek. The event occurred on March 16th, ahead of the Vernal Equinox. We note that (ominously) this could signal “more to come” in terms of tragedies during this period.
Update: (March 23rd of 2021, 1448 CDT Plano TX) This article was written about 48 hours prior to the Boulder, Colorado King Sooper Murders by Al Aliwi Alissa.
Consider the following : 2010 had a particularly malefic Vernal Equinox (see: Vernal Equinox 2010: A Bad Moon a Risin’) We thought that chart signaled the WVA Coal Mine Explosion April 5, 2010, and that we were “done” when that horrific tragedy occurred. But that assumption was wrong. (AND, the WVA Coal Mine Explosion ALSO had a Thor’s Hammer pattern ((“God’s Fist” or “Quadriform”).) A devastating airplane crash followed that took hundreds of lives.
Both of these were preliminary events, “warmups” if you will, for the main event. With the entry of the Sun into Taurus (where Hitler’s Sun and Biden’s Moon are located, conjunct at the beginning of the sign), the Deepwater Horizon disaster arrived.
I provide this retrospective to make a point: as heartrending are the deaths from this rampage, something worse could be lurking, something that may not greet us for as far out as April 20th (or a few days beyond).
Yods in the Chart : Important Decisions are Tied to this Event
With that warning in mind, here is the chart based on the data currently available from Wikipedia: “2021 Atlanta spa shootings”
The first version of the chart we present is filtered for yods. Two yods are present, and the eighth house (the “death house”) has a stellium (a cluster of planets which functions as a punctuation mark). The eighth house (and twelfth and fourth house cusp) often features prominently in death charts.
Death Charts and Water Sign Houses
A bit of a side issue : [Skip this if the “details” do not interest you.]
The implication of these three (water sign) houses in death charts is curious: it implies that people tend to die (or events occur associated with death) especially at three times:
- shortly past Sunrise (12th House Sun, quite LITERALLY “The House of the Rising Sun“), especially alcohol, drugs, and institutionalized individuals “discovered” as dead);
- in the latter part of the afternoon (8th house Sun), about 4 PM or 5 PM (rush hour! But, the eighth house pattern existed CENTURIES before automobiles), or
- some time close to midnight (again, often this is discovery by a night shift nurse and, again, modern hospitals are predated by 4th house cusp issues by centuries).
[Click Image to Open in New Tab]
The Eighth House Stellium
We note that the ruler of the 8th (Neptune) is in the eighth. (The 8th house cusp in this chart is in Pisces where Neptune, Venus, Sun, Chiron, and Ceres are located. the stellium (cluster) of planets making a “statement.”)
Ruler of the Tenth in the Eighth
The ruler of the tenth (Venus ruling a Taurus midheaven) is also in the eighth. We see the ruler of the 10th House in the 8th, a quality that some have associated with “fame in death,” meaning people who are often otherwise ordinary suddenly become famous as a result of their death. One article describes charts similar to this (Leo Ascendant, Venus in Pisces in the 8th house and ruler of the 10th) and says this : “As Venus is planet of Service and Devotion, and as it is in the highest dignity, it shows someone who is in service of those people who are going through turmoil in life, like abused women or children.”
12th House Ruler Near MC and apply to Conjunction to Uranus
Neptune is also the natural ruler of the 12th house. In this case, the ruler of the 12th is the Moon, located in the 9th near the midheaven and applying to a conjunction with Uranus in Taurus. (Unexpected events, typically explosions or electrical problems, but obviously in this case the “surprise” of the ambush by the shooter.)
Yods : Critical Decisions
Two (2) yods are present in this chart, and they both represent a set of critical decisions, two independent sets of critical decisions.
The Yod with Vesta at Apex
One yod is tied to Vesta. (Yods are about DECISIONS, a fork in the road that often changes the destiny of someone for the remainder of their life.) Since we have identified that Vesta represents the victims (as a collective), we interpret this Yod as a decision made by one or more of the victims (or potential victims who lived).
Did Someone Call in Sick?
A question immediately arises: did someone “call in sick” on this date, decide to not go into work (and that saved their life)? Did someone else decide to go into work to “cover,” resulting in loss of life? An important decision of some kind was in play here for the victims. While the 8th house stellium seems “fated,” the yods hint that choices were available (even if they seemed trivial at the time though, in reality, “life or death”).
Edgar Cayce and the Elevator : “I’ll Take the Next One”
One way to understand this particular yod in this particular situation involves an old story about Edgar Cayce that has circulated for many years (and may, or may not, be true): Edgar Cayce once had an elevator door open in front of him. Cayce was well known for his ability to see someone’s “aura.” As he looked into the crowded elevator, almost no one had an aura of any kind (or they were black, dark, and fading quickly). Cayce declined the invitation, and the elevator malfunctioned after the doors closed. Everyone on the elevator plunged to their death.
We suspect someone “called in sick” to their work at the spa on this date. If so, that decision saved their life. Conversely, someone else may have decided to “go in” to make “a little extra money.” That decision, under these circumstances, cost them their lives.
Karma: Did the Group Make a Sacrifice at a Karmic Level to Make an Important Statement?
I tend to dislike analyses that use “karma” to “explain” things because “karma” can explain anything and support any viewpoint. But, in this case, an argument can be made that this group of victims, at a karmic level, chose to make this sacrifice to make an important point : changes need to be made. What changes? That is an open question.
The Yod with Hygeia at Apex
Another yod has Hygeia (“health and healthcare”) at the apex. Did something “go wrong” in the shooter’s recent “treatment”? (He had recently been in “treatment” for sex addiction. Did it fail? What went wrong? What important decisions were in play? Did someone in the treatment setting make a decision in the treatment of the shooter that precipitated this tragedy? If so, what changes need to be made regarding such treatment?)
Some “counselors” are ABUSIVE to their clients in the name of so-called “treatment.” If that happened here, setting in motions these events, then that needs to COME OUT!
Except for a Square Key, other patterns are unremarkable or absent, as is true for both 5th Harmonics and 7th Harmonics. None of this was about brilliant insights or “learning” through Karma leading to breakthrough insights EXCEPT the Square Key. The Square Key will not produce brilliant insights, but it does contain the potential for “lessons learned” and a need for changes.
But, what changes? Is this a hate crime? That is being debated. Is this really about addiction? What about the people working in these settings? What can be done for them? Should we decriminalize prostitution? Or would that “make things worse,” as some have claimed.
Again, “what changes”?
The Square Key : Lessons to be Learned
Here is the Square Key version of the chart:
[Click Image to Open in New Tab]
While almost NONE of the Square Key involves the 8th house planets (death, and the MANY people who died), VESTA is HIGHLY ACTIVATED! (Yet another punctuation mark!)
A Shift in Mindset is Required
The question faces us again, pounding us: “what changes”? My guess is that barking about “identity politics” and “gun control” will NOT solve the problem or address the underlying issues. A shift in mind set is almost certainly required, and the application of the Moon to Uranus near MC suggests that as well.
Mental Health, Sex Workers, and Similar Core Issues
How we think about mental health, how we address sex workers and the sex trade, and issues that none of us may have considered (yet!) are closer to the heart of the issue. If we buy into the distractions, if we buy into the “head fake,” then the lessons will repeat.
The Horary Chart : What Question is this Event Asking?
Last, we present the horary version of the chart, as if we “asked a question” at the time. Oddly, this is a bit like an astrology version of “Jeopardy” : what is the question here? (We present the horary version of the event and then WORK BACKWARDS to the question.)
[Click Image to Open in New Tab]
Without digging deep into the horary version of the chart, we note that Astraea (law and justice) was opposite the Part of Fatality. This begs a different question: what role did law enforcement (and our criminal justice system) play in the deaths of the victims here?
We receive a strong “hint” here to look at the legal system and how it interacts with members of the sex trade economy.
Many questions remain open. Maybe the time to ask them has arrived.
Many remain to be identified, a shift in mindset required.
Until then, the “House of the Rising Sun” will remain the “ruin of many a poor” person.
Blue Monday?
January 23, 2017 at 12:13 pm | Posted in Annual Repeating Aspects, BadDays, Calendars, Special Days | 3 CommentsTags: Astrology, Bad Ideas, Blue Monday, Calendar, Calendars, diet, Diets, New Years Resolutions, Weight Loss
First, let me point out the Wikipedia article in Blue Monday. A bit of controversy exists about it, so let’s clarify a few things:
- Skeptics consider it “pseudoscience” “like astrology.” Glad they do, that puts it in my domain. <smile>
- Some lament it claiming that “depression does not occur one day a year.” Well, that is not the point. “Blue Monday” has nothing to do with the mental illness of depression unless certain days, maybe “Blue Monday,” could be precipitating factors for some people.
- Some people have (incorrectly) said it is “the third Monday in January.” Nope. That is not the point. It CAN be the “third Monday in January,” but it should NEVER be strictly codified as such.
So, what is it?
It is the Monday that follows the weekend where your “New Year’s Resolutions” crash, particularly if they involve a “diet” or some other (typically poorly conceived and poorly executed) weight loss plan. For many people, this is the Monday that follows the THIRD WEEKEND in January. The third Monday in January in 2017 was Monday, January 15th. But the Monday that followed the THIRD WEEKEND is today, January 24th. And, if your well intentioned “resolutions” crashed over the weekend, then chances are good you do not feel very good about that today, and that makes today “Blue Monday” for you.
And if you do suffer from the illness of depression, and you made unrealistic plans for the new year, then today could be tough. If that is true, consider this: this, too, shall pass.
A Quick Note Regarding the Pulse Shooter
June 16, 2016 at 6:18 am | Posted in Astrology, BadDays, Higher Order Aspects, septile, Special Days | 4 CommentsTags: Astrology, baddays, Catastrophe, Higher Order Aspects, higher order harmonics, Karma, Mars Septile, Mars Septile Pluto, Massacre, Opinion, Pulse, septile, Septile Pluto, septiles, shooter, Shooters
A Quick Note Regarding the Pulse Shooter
For those of you who are not regular readers, the analyses and predictions for Week 24 and Week 25 (i.e. “the quiet after a series of terrifying events” noted in the June 17th analysis) were written several weeks ago, LONG before the shooter at Pulse over the weekend, the stabbing of the 12 year old in France, or the shooter in Amarillo TX this week. And, we did not QUITE get it right when we wrote the following about last Saturday (Week 24, written in late May / early June):
Today has Mars Septile Pluto, the aspect of karma for both warrior planets. [emphasis added] A very smart thing to do with this is to do something for a disabled veteran you know (or for disabled veterans in general). This will benefit you in important ways that you cannot see yet. Alternatively, you can do the same especially regarding any kind of “widows and orphans” fund for police or firefighters.
While we could be wrong, we suspect that if the shooter had been treated as a “disabled veteran” and some “kindness” (mental health care? at least a counselor of some kind?) had been shown to him, the possibility exists that the outcome might have been very, very different. We are NOT saying that he was not unstable or dangerous. We ARE saying that the danger he presented might could have been eliminated if someone had spoken up and provided mental health care for him. Since he was a licensed security guard, passing gun control legislation would have done nothing whatsoever to have stopped this event. Only an intervention such as a mental health intervention could have prevented it. Until we fix our broken mental health system, and the “karma” related to how we care for those who have become unstable, these kinds of events will continue.
Gun control laws only provide a false sense that, somehow, we are “safe” because a law was passed. But that is a “band-aid fix” that does not get to the root problem. We suspect that, if guns were not available, the Pulse shooter would have resorted to explosives as Timothy McVeigh did and as “suicide bombers” in the Middle East continue to do so. We would not be safe, not at al. (See, also: West, TX.) Gun control laws don’t help much with those….
In Memory of Cainer
May 19, 2016 at 6:30 am | Posted in 2016, Astrology, BadDays, Diamonds, Events, FamousPeople, Hard Rectangle, Kite, NatalChartAnalysis, Patterns, Rosetta, Special Days, Square Key, Stretched Pentagrams | 2 CommentsTags: 2016, 2016-05, Astrologer, Astrology, Birth, Cainer, celebrity, celebrity death, death, Diamond, Hard Rectangle, JonathanCainer, Kite, kites, Natal Chart, NatalCharts, Rosetta, Saturn, Square Key, Stretched Pentagram
Some time over a decade ago, and before I started this blog, I discovered the work of Jonathon Cainer. He was a standard “Sun sign” style newspaper astrologer in the UK, but he was also much more than that. His daily entries had a remarkable quality to them that I describe as “philosophical.” While others, myself included, would focus in on the details of what, say, a Sagittarius Moon / Gemini Sun type full moon had to say, Cainer would zoom out and speak in lyrical words of poetry about the bigger picture of such a turn of events.
He was, in a word, inspiring.
So, I was disappointed to discover this morning, May 19th, that he had passed away on May 2nd of this year, 2016. No chance now of him reading that email that I kept thinking about sending him for years but then not sending because I wanted to remain anonymous. No chance of somehow showing up in England and having a chance encounter where I might speak to him for a moment. The windows are closed, and the best I can do is an analysis of his birth and death charts (based on available data) in his memory.
His birth chart is remarkable, having both a Stretched Pentagram and a Diamond in it. These tend to be rather rare, and he had both of them. We show the birth chart for the Stretched Pentagram first:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
It is the kind of chart, from the perspective of patterns, that is nothing short of amazing. Here is the birth chart, again, with the Diamond highlighted:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Much of the Diamond and Stretched Pentagram overlap. The evening of Winter’s Solstice 2012 (aka “The End of the World as We Know It”) had a Diamond in it, and while 2012 came and went without the end of the world, we can say that this period of years, marked by the Uranus / Pluto squares (or, as Cainer called it: “the bell tolls seven times”) has been remarkable in changes and upheaval (“Arab Spring,” “Black Lives Matter,” the dominance of “smart phones” in our collective lives, the candidacy of Donald Trump for President, etc.)
Cainer had other patterns also. He had a “Square Key” which is really two interlocked “Huber Learning Triangles.” These tell us what his biography said: he worked through some rather intense “karma” to reach the point he did in life. Life was not particularly easy for him in the beginning, and arguably it was probably fairly tough even after he had acquired fortune and fame.
Here is the chart filtered for the Square Key:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Just in case that was not enough, he also had a “Double Yod Key” (DYK). This tells us he was face with many tough decisions, the kind where you always look back and wonder “what if I had taken the other path”? Filtered for DYK:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
The DYK is hard to see because it is built into his other patterns. But, if we filter for yods, we find three of them, and they are a bit more obvious:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
This is NOT an “easy” life. It is spent worrying about “what if” I had done something else. But Cainer was also born with the ability to accomplish much, and he did.
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Finally, we see a Rosetta in the birth chart. We interpret this as “unstable alliances,” and from what we know this was true as well. He moved back and forth between newspapers as shifting alliances pushed him to do just that.
If we filter for a Grand Cross we do not find one, but if we filter for T-Squares, then a slightly “loose” Grand Cross is obviously present (and a source of tremendous energy and the ability to “get things done”):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
A 5th Harmonic filter shows a triangular pattern (two quintiles and a biquintile) involving Mars, Pallas, and Venus:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We might add here that his highly activated Neptune near Midheaven is an indicator of psychic abilities. It can also indicate alcohol or drug problems or some kind of involvement (he did manage a bar at one point). We suspect that he felt many people “pulling” on him. (Neptune can be the savior / martyr complex as well.)
Seventh harmonic in the birth chart also contains a triangular pattern and is sufficiently activated to indicate, again, these “karmic” issues to work through:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Vesta/Hygeia, Neptune, and Sun compose the triangular pattern and indicate, again, both psychic abilities and physical illness as well. (We suspect that long term / chronic illness may have plagued him but that he did not disclose it publicly.)
Now to the death chart. A single pattern dominates: a hard rectangle!
[Click Image to Enlarge]
One other pattern is present in the death chart: a Kite (if you are willing to use North / South lunar nodes):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We note that the remainder of the kite is formed by Mercury and Pluto, both retrograde. It is almost as if the cosmic said “OK we will give you a little more time to accomplish something, and then it is time to go.” We may never know what that “something” was because it likely dealt with family and financial matters. But he had received a reprieve of some kind from what was likely a “close call” of some kind earlier. (Again, we will likely never be able to confirm or deny this.) This kite also says that someone, somehow, greatly benefited from his death! (What could that mean?)
Seventh Harmonic is also interesting:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Mars, Astraea, and Sun are involved in a triangular 7th harmonic pattern (made of a TriSeptile and two BiSeptiles). We wonder if some kind of legal issues were about to emerge at the time of his death. (Again, we would bet that this is something private despite 2 out of 3 planets being above ground.)
Finally, we present the bi-wheel without patterns or much analysis except to note that his second Saturn return was upon him (and the one for the author of this blog is not too far away either). Saturn returns often “take us home,” and that is what happened for him.
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We have little more to add to this analysis, especially since we prefer our readers dig into it for themselves. But, he was a giant in the field, and he will be missed. And, as an aside, my own coming Saturn return leaves me rather “nervous.”

Full Moon 2016-04-22 (Hard Rectangle)
For anyone who wants to check either upcoming or previous full moons or new moons, we offer pages that cover both categories of lunations for 2016. Here is a list of New Moons for 2016, and here is a list of Full Moons for 2016.
We note five patterns associated with this FM: Hard Rectangle, Thor’s Hammer, Hele, Kite(s), and T-Square(s).
We have been omitting T-Squares because they are still quite common when anything aspects the now dissolving Uranus / Pluto square (discussed extensively both elsewhere and on this site). However, we now have continuing T-Squares involving Jupiter (Virgo), Saturn (Sagittarius), and Neptune (Pisces), and since this set involves other bodies and points (Nodes, Chiron, Hygeia, and Mars) we believe it is worth addressing this set of T-Squares as well.
This is a very “early” Moon-Scorpio/Sun-Taurus FM, and it is the day after Adolf Hitler’s birthday. Entertainment figures Chyna and Prince died within the last 48 hours, and we would not be surprised to see another one (or more) go at this time. To say the least, this energy is “tough.”
This period of time reminds us of the period circa January 8, 2016 with the death of David Bowie and Glenn Frey. Bowie’s death was within 48 to 72 hours prior to the Capricorn New Moon of January 9, 2016.
[We may revise this blog post later to reflect other events that occur concurrent with the FM of 2016-04-22]
While I am not a numerologist (I am not certain how it works), I do note the following (for those time zones where the FM occurs April 22nd): (1) the day is a master number (22); (2) month + day is a higher order master number (44); and, depending on how you reduce numbers, year/month/day is also higher order (2016=7; + 04 -11; 11 + 22 = 33). So, arguably, in different forms we have 22, 33, and 44. (I am certain others will note this, and I expect those who claim numerology as their domain to have something to say about it.)
Let’s begin the astrological analysis of patterns with the Hard Rectangle, since it is the rarest of the patterns present (we believe “rare patterns” represent a sort of cosmic “punctuation mark”).
Here is the chart for the 2016-04-22 Full Moon, filtered for the Hard Rectangle:

This pattern involves the Sun, Moon and Nodes (Rahu and Ketu to Vedic astrologers). Many (most? all?) of the traditional astrologers do not like using the Nodes in aspects / patterns. This is because the Nodes are points rather than actually bodies. The Nodes are a function of the Earth’s orbital path relative to the Earth and are mathematically determined (as opposed to “heavenly bodies” which, at least in theory, can be observed).
So, whether or not you accept this pattern (or any other that uses the Nodes) depends on whether or not you believe the Nodes affect you. If you do, then this is an unusually intense Full Moon (FM) because the Nodes (aka “Karma”) form a Hard Rectangle (a very energetic and often dangerous pattern) with the FM. You can accomplish much at this time, despite the upcoming Mercury Retrograde (and other retrogrades) if you keep your focus by watching your temper. Avoid dangerous people, places, and things (unless that is your job, and I expect that police, investigators, and intelligence agencies will be very busy at this time along with scientists who explore dangerous topics (venomous snakes, etc.)), and avoid BEING a dangerous person yourself.
Just in case you somehow did not get the previous message, a Thor’s Hammer pattern is also present. This is a notoriously dangerous aspect, but, again, it can be channeled to get things done. You know what to do: follow the prescription we just gave (stay focused; avoid temper / violence / explosions).
Here is the (same) chart, filtered for the Thor’s Hammer:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
As you can see from this version of the chart, the North Node, Saturn, and the Sun form this pattern. The early (“too early to tell”) Sun is at the Apex, with Saturn (“tests, trials, and tribulations) on one leg and the North Node (“hard karma”) on the other leg. With so many retrogrades in play, we recommend that you avoid “banging your head” on projects that will not budge at this time and focus instead on the highest priority projects where you can make actual progress. (You may also want to review your priorities at this time.)
We also have a Hele present, and it tells us contradictory messages! One the one hand, with Sun/Moon in the “too early to tell” degrees, it tells us that there are some things (IMPORTANT things) that you do not yet know about the alliances you are about to form. Are they organized crime?
And, if YOU are organized crime, then are they the undercover police that will finally seal your fate?
Yet, Scorpio-Taurus tells us that if you try to get out of this alliance “somewhere down the road,” then there will be hell to pay. Be extremely careful with the new friends you choose at this time, and know that they may have far more power than you can possibly realize at this moment.
Here is the chart for the Hele:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Mercury / Vesta (together) is on one leg with the North Node (there it is again!), and Uranus and Saturn are on the other leg. You will have to choose one or the other.
All of this sounds challenging, and it is. But a ray of hope is present. Kites (multiple, overlapping) are present in this chart, and for those that can see them (and harness them), powerful opportunities are present.
Here is the same chart, filtered for the kites:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Mercury and Pluto form this kite, along with the Nodes (again), so this opportunity will be present for one to three days, possibly longer as slow as Mercury is moving at this time. Some time after the Mercury Retrograde station, it will open for a second “act” in the play. But, if you really do want to seize this window of opportunity then you need to do it now. The other variants will give you a chance to “clean up” things that result from Sun/Moon being in the “too early to tell” period.
Finally, we address the T-Squares. They are a third pronouncement of the same kind of message that the Hard Rectangle and Thor’s Hammer bring: much energy, the potential for anger and violence, and great potential for accomplishment if the energy is properly funneled.
Here is the chart, filtered for the T-Squares:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
More specifically, what is involved here are mutables (Planets in mutable signs), and long term planets are present in each sign that forms the T-Square (three of four mutable signs: Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces).
Virgo / Pisces focuses on the issues of work and play in general along with questions regarding attention to detail (does it help by identifying important issues or does cause harm by wasting time and other resources). They also address healthcare, with Virgo focused on healthcare providers (nurses and physicians and similar) and Pisces focuses on the illness (and how to “heal” from it (including death)).
Sagittarius forms the apex of the T-Square (with the Malefics Mars and Saturn there, both retrograde), and we find that answers to these work/play isseus (or healthcare issues) are likely located in either higher education (Universities and similar) or the legal system.
The T-Squares (multiple, overlapping) provide guidance on where you should consider focusing your efforts at this time: work, play (or rest and recovery), health, healthcare, higher education, and the legal system. Since we are dealing with mutables, we should be looking to “wrap up” current issues and move on to new ideas and new projects.

Mars Square Pluto 2015-12-06 (Yod)
December 6, 2015 at 4:55 am | Posted in 2015, Astrology, BadDays, Patterns, Predictions | 14 CommentsTags: 2015, 2015-12, Astrology, Mars, Mars Pluto, Mars square Pluto, Patterns, Pluto, Yod, Yods
First, we note that this is a shorter term Yod that follows immediately on the heels of longer term that has been in play since November 25th until yesterday. This is a period about decisions, and longer term T-Squares may lead some people to make rash decisions that are poorly thought out.
Next, this is one of the most dangerous, if not “the” most dangerous, of aspects. It is a bit longer term (Mars has a two year orbit, and Pluto has a 240 year orbit), so it can be felt in both the days leading up to it and the days following. If you are reading this in the future (some time after 2015 has ended), please note that this aspect perfects just a few days after the San Bernardino mass shootings. That is the problem with longer term aspects, the critical related event(s) almost never occur at perfection and often not “day of” but nearby instead. The Paris shootings by an ISIS terror cell was only a few weeks ago, and could be related to this aspect also.
Still, we do not think the window of danger is over until, at a minimum, the day after the aspect has perfected. In this case, consider allowing two or three days of “safety zone” if you can.
Here is the chart, filtered for the Yods:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
This is an aspect that typically occurs twice in a two year period. We say “typically” because retrogrades can cause it to occur more often under some circumstances.
T-Squares, by themselves, can fuel bad decision making and violence. In this case, the Mars / Pluto aspect “loosely” interacts with the Uranus / Pluto squares (seven of them in play since 2012). It is the kind of thing that make things, and people, “go boom.” We present the same chart, filtered for T-Squares:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Please note the Mercury T-Square that interacts with the recent Mercury / Jupiter square (an amplifier of surrounding events).
We encourage our longer term readers to keep a journal and compare both the events of their life and current events to aspects to learn how to interpret those aspects. In keeping with that, we present, next, a list of the perfections of Mars square Pluto from 2000 through 2030. And, to see the surrounding aspects this month, click on this link for an Excel chart of Sunout aspects. And, for an overview of patterns in November and December 2015, click this link.

Astrological Chart and Analysis for San Bernardino Shootings 2015-12-02

Astrological Chart and Analysis for San Bernardino Shootings 2015-12-02
We have been analyzing disasters and shootings less lately in favor of forecasts and similar analysis. Previously, we have produced a chart analysis for Adam Lanza, the West, TX Fertilizer plant explosion, the Orbital Sciences Antares Rocket explosion, the Philadelphia Amtrak wreck, the Marysville school shootings, and the Boston Marathon bombing. That said, we will provide a chart and preliminary analysis of the San Bernardino shootings on December 2, 2015. We note, also, that this attack comes only a few weeks after the massacre of 130 people in Paris by ISIS based terrorists.
Click here for our Calendar Page for Wednesday, December 2nd. The event occurred two days before perfection of Mercury square Jupiter, an amplifier of either good will or bad intent. For practical purposes, that aspect applies here. The event also occurred four days before perfection of Mars square Pluto, perhaps the most dangerous of all aspects, and, again, for practical purposes that aspect applies here. Saturn square Neptune, a very slow moving aspect that governs weeks and months, perfected for the first time (of three) on November 26th. Again, that is so close (Saturn has a 28 year orbit; Neptune a 160 year orbit), that it applies here. All of this, together, is a bit tough.
We present the chart, based on the reported time of 10:59 AM PST and filtered for T-Squares:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We count ten squares and four oppositions in that chart. Frankly, that seems rather high. But we think that the critically important events occurred earlier in the day, during this window:

Since this is a preliminary analysis, we will hold any further commentary until more information is available. (Particularly, we would like birth information for the shooters, should that ever become available.) For an alternative analysis, posted on Astrotheme, click here. Another analysis is located here. Astrology Weekly has a discussion located here.

2015-12-02 Moon Square Saturn T-Squares (mutable and others)

2015-12-02 Moon Square Saturn T-Squares (mutable and others)
Moon Square Saturn happens about once a month and, although it tends to be an unpleasant aspect, it is a fairly ordinary (very nearly boring) aspect. This month, however, the Moon interacts with Saturn square Neptune (still in full force since the first perfection on November 26th), and a T-Square forms. Other T-Squares are active (including Mars / Pluto / Uranus), and, so, this time the aspect is quite a bit more unpleasant than usual. As is always true, the potential to harness this unpleasant energy to “get something done” exists if you are elevated enough / smart enough to use it that way. Here is the chart, filtered for T-Squares:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
This is late night stuff for most people, so unless something nasty happens like a hot water heater problem or an auto accident, most of us should be mostly safe as long as we do not “go looking for trouble.”
That said, California might see some nastiness at this time (significant traffic events?), particularly those in Los Angeles. (Could be an unusually unpleasant rush hour event.)

While these are not ordinarily very common, they seem to be common lately and correspond to a period of much “unrest” in the world.
The BIG TH clears out after August 10th, but numerous others come and go this month. Noteworthy is the LONG one from August 14th until August 23rd.

Mars Trine Chiron 2015-07-26 and Thor’s Hammer Key

2015-07-26 Mars Trine Chiron
Let’s face it, “Mars Trine Chiron” is what some people call a “bad mental image.” Think of King Leonidas and Forrest Gump together for an afternoon. Imagine, if you will, that neither one can “win.” In fact, we are told, supposedly they are getting along just fine. It just does not fit. But, it is happening the morning of Sunday, July 26, 2015. It is Mars Trine Chiron.
We note the presence of TWO interlocking Thor’s Hammers (God’s Fist), what we have called in the past a “Thor’s Hammer Key.” All of this together seems pretty scary, particularly mixed into the same weekend as the Venus Retrograde and Mars Square Uranus.
Here is the chart for Mars Trine Chiron, filtered for the Thor’s Hammers:

Mercury Square Neptune and Mars Quincunx Saturn 2015-06-23

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. That should be the title for today.
The Good: if you are a poet or photographer or in some similar field, today may present some of your greatest inspirations. Gentle Creatives are favored today.
The Bad: if you are a police officer, drunk, or drug addict, your misconduct today will not be tolerated. “Just doing my job” and similar excuses just will not work anymore. No choke holds that kill mentally ill homeless guys, no shooting of 12 year olds who have toy guns, none of that will play any more. Just don’t do it!
The Ugly: some people will ignore the previous warning, and they will learn very hard lessons. If you are a drunk or drug addict, stay home. Don’t drive. Don’t go out. Don’t get in bar fights. STAY HOME! And if the police bust down your door anyway, do not give them ANY excuse to mistreat you. If you are law enforcement, well, we already warned you ONCE! Weren’t you listening? (If not, then you will get what you deserve!) To everyone: BE NICE!
If you are an alcoholic / drug addicted police officer, then your dirty little secret may be about to become public knowledge. (This includes steroid abuse.) It is an especially bad day for you.
Anyone with a camera tends to be favored today. (But, still, be careful!)
The poetry, alcohol, drug, photography, video, art, whatever thing flows from yet another Mercury Square Neptune, the third of a series tied to the recent Mercury Retrograde that completed. And Mars Quincunx Saturn occurs less than a half hour later, making a mess of anything involving violence and authority. (Military and intelligence agencies will also likely be affected.)
We are basing the following analysis on the Mercury Square Neptune (exact) chart.
The Yod (“Finger of God”) in play yesterday is still in full force today. WE HAVE A CHOICE in how we act today!
Here is the chart:

For those not willing to listen to what the universe is telling us, some HARD lessons are coming. The multiple Huber “Learning” Trinagles tell us this:
HLT 1’s:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Note that the above version of the chart has TWO HLT 1’s. Here are the HLT 2’s:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
With this many Huber Learning Triangles in play, the message is clear: some people will be learning “lessons” today. (It does not have to be YOU!)
Let us note that a sliver of an opportunity may present itself (mostly favoring fire signs and maybe air signs) with a so-called “almost” kite:
[Click Image]
Fleeting and unstable alliances may present themselves, as indicated by a Rosetta. (Just know that these “fair weather friends” will not stick with you for long.)

Write poetry, take pictures, and be nice!

No charts, but an event local to Texas that is what we would expect with an Algol New Moon:
This is bad enough. Let’s hope that we do not have similar events over the course of the Mercury Retrograde / storm.
Philadelphia Amtrak Wreck and Higher Order Aspects 2015-05-12
May 13, 2015 at 12:39 am | Posted in 2015, 5th Harmonic, Astrology, BadDays, Events, Higher Order Aspects, triseptile | 8 CommentsTags: 5th order harmonics, 7th order harmonics, Astrology, baddays, BadLuck, disaster, disasters, Hard Rectangle, higher order harmonics, Jupiter, Moon, Neptune, Node, nodes, Quintile, Quintile Kite, Quintile Kite, quintiles, trainwreck, Triseptile, triseptiles, wreck
We are using a reported time of the accident of “just after 9 PM” set to 9:02 EDT. What stands out to us is the very nearly exact TriSeptile aspect of the Moon to its North Node:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Other characteristics are in play as well. Pluto in 2nd house tells us that this is an event that likely involves a large amount of “other peoples money.” (Insurance; lawsuits) Saturn rising and in the 12th suggests difficulties. But, again, the Moon TriSeptile its North Node (Fate or Karma) is most noteworthy. We also note precise TriSeptiles between Neptune on one side and Jupiter / Juno (which are essentially conjunct in Leo) on the other side. Also interesting are the 5th order harmonics, and we see two patterns composed of those that resemble the “T-Square” that occurs with 4th order harmonics (squares and oppositions):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We think that, curiously, this event made lead to certain important innovations in transportation safety. One of these triangular patterns is part of a larger Quintile Kite in play that we have discussed elsewhere:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
The Hard Rectangle discussed on the May 15th post, involving Mars Opposite Saturn, is already in play here, and we think a major contributor to this even. (But, again, we think that the Lunar Triseptile was the precipitating aspect.)
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Note that this pattern includes (1) the rising Saturn / setting Mars and (2) the 2nd house Pluto / 8th house Hygeia. As we have said before, we think this pattern is dangerous.
Mars Opp Saturn on May 15, 2015 (Hard Rectangle)

We present the chart for the Mars Opposition Saturn which culminates on May 15, 2015 (15-05-15):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We note that this opposition occurs a few days before (1) the New Moon in late Taurus and (2) the upcoming Mercury Retrograde. Mars opposite Saturn is considered difficult all by itself, but the Hard Rectangle amplifies the intensity. A Thor’s Hammer is also in play at this time:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
This is a longer term Thor’s Hammer (God’s Fist) and will cover the upcoming New Moon and Mercury Retrograde station.
All this dark and potentially dangerous energy has a silver lining: a longer term Quintile Kite is present:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Funnel that energy into creative works (poetry, music, painting, photography, dance, and so forth) and you can develop something long lasting and worthwhile. Just be careful not to overdo it.
University of South Carolina Shootings (USC) February 2015
February 6, 2015 at 1:02 am | Posted in 2015, 2015-Lunations, Astrology, BadDays, Events, Lunations, Patterns | Comments Off on University of South Carolina Shootings (USC) February 2015Tags: 2015, 2015-02, 2015-lunations, Astrology, full moon, FullMoon, Hele, Kite, kites, Lunations, Saturn, septiles
What catches our eye about this event (and we are using 1 PM based on news reports, so accuracy might be in question by a few minutes), is the Hele that is in play. As we have mentioned before, the Hele tends to be a polarizing pattern that splits people into opposing groups who have difficulty coming to agreement:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
While probably not as unforgiving as a Capricorn Moon, Virgo moons tend to focus on details and sometimes ignore the “bigger picture.” This can be infuriating to some people. Moon opposite Neptune (delusions, drugs, and alcohol; also victims, martyrs, and the downtrodden) is almost exact here.
We note, also, (and oddly!) a kite here. Someone missed an opportunity, unless you consider the shooting itself to be an “opportunity.” This kite contains a grand fire trine, and that can fuel emotions (and possibly tempers).
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We note that the South Node is part of the Grand Trine, and that is about “taking the easy way out.” Pallas (the warrior asteroid), and Jupiter (the great amplifier that makes everything larger and sometimes blows some things “out of proportion” complete the grand trine). The kite is completed by an Aquarian Sun in the process of perfecting an opposition to Jupiter.
We also note a number of T-Squares in play (along with the anxiety and conflict that they bring):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We suspect that the precipitating event was a bit earlier, probably about 12:30 PM EST (or maybe slightly later), when Saturn was angular and on the 7th house cusp.
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Of course, Saturn is anathema to the 7th house of relationships (and open enemies). We see a Saturn / North Node (Karma) triseptile (one of the karmic aspects) along with a square to the Moon and inconjunct with Hygeia (healthcare, and this shooting happened in the healthcare department).
While we do see some “fate” in this chart, we suspect that the parties involved had some choice. The chart even indicated an “opportunity” here for someone willing step away from the situation and look for it. (And, with other people in other locales, that exact thing may have happened. That is, any person in a desperate situation similar to that of the shooter found away to gain advantage in a different (non-violent) manner just by pausing long enough to see it. Then, an explosive reaction was no longer necessary and no “event” occurred.)
