A Couple of Manifestations of the Mars-Pluto-Sun Conjunction?

It looks like this is how the conjunction of Mars-Pluto-Sun over the Capricorn AP have manifested two different ways. Since the Aries Points were involved one would expect this transit to have some very Public displays of violence and power tripping. In the last event, the power grid where the soon to be most powerful man on earth was staying was completely tripped.

Right on cue is the Santa Killer story in Covina, CA, a truly horrifying story. Bruce Jeffrey Pardo was an unemployed software engineer who was under stress to pay his ex-wife matrimony payments. He dressed up in a Santa outfit, wrapped up a couple of guns in a reindeer wrap and went over to a party at his ex's parents' house. A little girl ran up to greet him at the door and he shot her in the face. Then he let loose on the rest of the party and set the house on fire. Although it is thought that he was thinking about escaping the country to Canada, his Santa Suit melted on his skin causing too much pain. He went to his brother's house and killed himself. The last I read there are a total of 10 dead and 3 injured. The little girl who ran up to him is alive and released from the hospital.

Christmas, of course, happens just after the Winter Solstice when the Sun moves in to Capricorn. On Wednesday, Dec. 24 at 11:30 pm when the Mayhem began all the angles were on the last degrees of the Mutable Signs which is conjunct the Aries Points. Mars was at 29 Sagittarius conjunct the 29 Sagittarius IC and also conjunct Pluto 1 Capricorn and Sun 4 Capricorn in the 4th House of Family relations. Capricorn is the sign of fear of failure and the sign of karmic payback. Pardo had failed at his marriage and his job and even at his escape from his crime.

It didn't help that Venus was conjunct Neptune (ruler of the DESC and ruler of Self-Undoing). The only aspect this conjunction made was an inconjunct to Saturn in the 12th House of Self Undoing. In a way, the Judge in the courts and the ex-wife who demanded that an unemployed man keep making payments were also to blame (my opinion). I don't know the whole story, but, really folks, give a guy a break.

Sun 4 Capricorn; Moon 11 Sagittarius (H3); ASC 30 Virgo; MC 29 Gemini; NN 10 Aquarius (H5)

The other event that has manifested is that the entire Island of Oahu where President Elect Barack Obama is vacationing suffered a power failure last night right at the moment of the New Moon in Capricorn. Was this a Power Failure, or an Executive Order?

The rest of the island lost power two hours later.

Sun 6 Capricorn; Moon 3 Capricorn; ASC 18 Cancer; MC 11 Aries; NN Aquarius

The Sun was at 6 Capricorn, Moon at 3 Capricorn, Pluto 2 Capricorn, Mars 30 Sagittarius. The Moon rules the Chart at 18 Cancer and Mars rules the 11 Aries MC. This stellium had just moved past the Descendant and was in the 6th House. Mercury 23 Capricorn was conjunct the DESC and Jupiter 28 Capricorn from the 7th House.

This time Cardinal Signs were ruling all the angles. The Saturn-Uranus opposition was straddling the 3d and 9th Houses so it appears that the grid would be under stress.

Saturn (rules Presidents, Bosses, etc. in general and rules the Descendant in the Chart) in these charts is interesting. In the Killer Santa Event Chart it is the only planet above the Horizon. In the Power Outage Chart it is the only planet on the left side of the chart. This chart is interesting for its Inner/Outer planet relationships. Moon is conjunct Sun (H6). Mars is conjunct Pluto (H6). Venus is conjunct Neptune (H8). Mercury is conjunct Jupiter (H7). Saturn is the only planet that relates by aspect to all of these combinations except the Moon-Sun conjunction (which rules the ASC/DESC angles).
