More on the Santa Massacre

Regarding the horrible Christmas Eve Massacre that was mentioned in the last blog entry, I've found some Birth Data for anyone who is interested. The FindaGrave website has listed Birth Information for the Santa Killer and most of his Victims. To repeat, Bruce Pardo, an unemployed Software engineer whose Divorce was made final the week before in a court, dressed up in a Santa Suit, wrapped some guns in some Santa paper and went over to his ex-wife's parents' house where they were having a party on Christmas Eve. Pardo killed nine people, injured 3 others (I think it was 3), set the house on fire and then killed himself later on in the early morning Christmas Day at his brother's house. He had planned to escape to Canada but his Santa suit caught fire and burned him so that he was in too much pain to leave.

All Victims' deaths occurred on Dec. 24, 2008, Covina, California, beginning slighlty before or around 11:30 pm. The Murderer committed Suicide at some point hours later.

His chart shows classic Astrological signatures for the event. Pardo's Sun is at 3 Aries. This opposes his ex-wife's Mars at 4 Libra so they would have had a firey relationship, maybe a bit competitive or provocative. The Mars-Pluto conjunction on Dec. 24 was squaring these two points from ____ Sagittarius to 1 ________ Capricorn and was joined by the Sun at ____ Capricorn. Pardo's Aries Sun was being squared by the Mars-Pluto-Sun aspect with Sun dispositing to Mars. Overall a very volatile influence. The ex-wife (Cancer Sun), her Father (Cancer Sun), and one of the other victims, perhaps the wife's sister (Aries Sun)? were born with Sun in strong aspect to each other in an emotional square combination between Aries and Cancer.

Pardo's natal Moon was either in Aquarius or Pisces. His ex-wife Sylvia's was in Libra and could even have been involved in the Mars-Pluto aspect.

Pardo was going through his Venus Return in Aquarius. Venus rules Women and Relationships and Marriage. His natal Venus (women he's involved with) was heavily afflicted natally in conjunction with natal Saturn and square natal Neptune. Saturn-Neptune can provide sensitivity but also victim mentality. This was further highlighted and afflicted by transits as Pardo was just past his Neptune square and transiting Neptune was conjunct natal-transiting Venus in a sort of unaspected island figuration so the Venus-Neptune energy had no strong flow with the rest of the chart. The conjunction being in Aquarius highlights the unusual, sudden and shocking nature of the event.

Sylvia was born in 1965 during the Saturn-Chiron in Pisces opposition to Uranus-Pluto in Virgo. This is further complicated by a square from a conjunction of North Node-Jupiter in Gemini. Hopefully others born at this time are not being dealt such a difficult situation as they are going through the mirror opposition transit of Saturn to Uranus in the opposite signs.

Sun signs alone show a conflicting story. Since I'm not sure of the accuracy for this data I won't look in to the charts any further. May the victims Rest in Peace.
