The Lane Bryant Shooting

Along with the unbelievable rash of School Shootings/Suicides this last week there is still an awful tragedy that I hope won't be forgotten. This was the mass execution style shootings of 6 women in a Lane Bryant store in the Tinley Park area of Chicago, Il. The Shooter as far as I know is still running around loose. Someday I hope to know how to read Horary Charts well enough to try to locate these freaks but for now I'm stuck with just trying to read the Event Charts which is challenge enough.

First off, Mars (aggression, violence) is going through an extremely long transit over the cusp of end of Gemini and beginning of Cancer. This brings in the Cancer Aries Point which is a public point. Mars in Cancer is a very emotionally volatile aspect when under stress and currently it is very much under stress. First it is opposing Pluto (death, power). Next it is out of bounds which magnifies its influence. It is also opposing and disposits to the Moon (emotions, irrational, subconscious behaviors, women) which is also out-of-bounds in Sagittarius in this chart.

I wanted to look at this chart, of course, to see how Venus is aspected as Venus rules Women and Dress Shops. And, without intending to insult any Rubensian type lovelies, it is conjunct Jupiter, the planet of expansiveness. Venus conjunct Jupiter would certainly indicate a Rubeneque type of woman. Here the two planets are not only in conjunction, they are parallel to each other (aspect similar to a conjunction) and they are also in conjunction with and parallel to the Midheaven. This could just describe the event without explaining the shooter's motives, but it could also indicate that he has some sort of fetish or deep hatred for larger size women. In connection with the Midheaven it would seem that this is connected to one of his parents. I personally read MC as symbolizing the Father but it can also symbolize the Mother.

Earlier in the morning Aries was rising. I can't get the story straight from what I've read about what happened but I think he had entered the store and was talking to the women. Then he drew a gun and herded them in to the back room. Two women walked in while this was happening and were also abducted. The Killer had brought Duct tape and bound them and threw clothes over their faces before he shot them. He had fondled one of them and when one of the women somehow managed to call 911, that's when he supposedly shot them.

I've listed a timeline of changes in some locations in the chart. Am not sure when the store actually opened. Early on Aries rules the chart with ruler Mars in the 3d house in Gemini. If this indicates the killer then he possibly lives in the neighborhood or has a brother or uncle who lives in the neighborhood. Mars deposits to Mercury which is conjunct Neptune-NN-Sun in the 11th house. This explains how he was able to vanish out into the crowd as Neptune is great for elusive behaviors. This stellium may indicate a drug problem, living out a fantasy or gang related motives also. I know, I'm giving too many alternatives here. I don't think that robbery was the only motive here. This guy was trying to prove himself.

At all times from when the store would have opened to the time when the women were found, Venus was very prominent ruling one end of the ASC-DESC axis. First it rules the Libra Descendant and then it rules the Taurus Ascendant. It also crosses over the Midheaven. So women and dress shops are heavily influencing this chart.

At 10:12 the Rising Sign changes to Taurus and Aries is intercepted in the 12th House for awhile. 12th house is one of the rulers of bondage so this may have been when the women were bound up. This may also have been when the guy totally snapped. Venus at this point rules the chart. The killer may have felt his "manhood" at stake with the women in control. Mars moves into the 2d house, Venus's house and house of money and banking and also self-worth.

By 10:35 both Pluto and the Moon were in the 8th House of Murder (and sex and psychopathic behaviors) and were opposing Mars. This is an extremely violent indicator, especially because both Mars and the Moon were out-of-bounds. The Sun here is also parallel Pluto (murder) and just at 10:43 am when the police were called, the Sun squared the Ascendant.

The Murderer has been indentified by the one surviving victim. I hope he will be caught. My condolences to the relatives and friends of the victims.

6 Victims, 5 dead, 1 survivor.

At 9:00 am
30 Pisces Rising, Ruler Neptune conjunct Mercury Rx in H12.
with Mars conjunct the IC and opposing Pluto, 30 Sagg MC, Moon 21 Sagg.

At 9:30am
13 Aries Rising
ruler Mars in H3
ruler of Descendant, Venus, is in H10

At 9:47 am
Venus 12 Capricorn conjunct Jupiter 11 Capricorn conjunct the Capricorn MC

10:12 am
0 Taurus Rising
Mars moves into 2d House

10:35 am
Pluto moves into H8 along with Moon

10:43 am
13 Taurus Rising, Sun squares Ascendant from H10
Aries intercepted in 12th House
Mars in H2, doesn't rule any houses at this point, this is the time that help was dispatched.

Venus was both conjunct and parallel both Jupiter and the Midheaven in Capricorn passing as this crime was being committed. As Lane Bryant is a plus size store for women this fits very well. Until 10:12 Venus ruled the 7th House of Libra. After that time Venus ruled the Taurus Ascendant.

Both Mars and the Moon were out-of bounds showing completely out of control emotional problems.

Sun conjunct Mercury Rx-Neptune-Chiron-NN in Aquarius

At 10:33am Pluto passed backwards into the 8th house of Death and the Sun began to square the Ascendant. The Sun was parallel Pluto.
