Steven Dale Green - Rapist-Murderer-Soldier

Very quickly I looked up the man who has just been convicted for the Iraqi gang rape-murders. Wikipedia shows that he was born in 1985 same year as the rape victim Jamie Leigh Jones who I just blogged about.

Steven Dale Green
b. May 2, 1985 ??? Texas

Sun 13 Taurus; Moon Libra; NN 19 Taurus

Green has a Sun-NN conjunction in Taurus so he is definitely tied in with the difficult Taurus/Scorpio energy. I've mentioned before that I remember Komilla Sutton as saying that this is the most difficult Nodal Axis to have. I think I also remember that she said that a Sun-North Node conjunction is also the most difficult contact because the Sun and North Node compete for attention and quash each other's energies.

Green has a Mars-Chiron conjunction in Gemini. By all accounts he has had a problem with anger related to a bad upbringing through his parents' divorces and alcohol problems, etc. Mars is Anger and Chiron is a wounding that one can't heal but which one can teach others from. A Mars-Mercury combination often express anger because they are so quick. In this case, on the day of Green's crime, this conjunction was heavily afflicted as he was having a Mars Return and also his progressed Sun, already mentioned as being a little unhappy in his natal chart, was within conjunction in Gemini. His Mars is also apex of a Yod to a Neptune-Pluto sextile. This shows that Green's problems are related to family secrets that he subconsciously brought to a head. This would definitely not be a combination of planets that I would want to work out myself. (he's probably a great dancer and would have had some talent for martial arts).

This whole group of 19 year olds with Taurus-Scorpio Nodal Axis went to Iraq during the worst part of the War when the morale was extra low. The problem kids were allowed through because the Army was desperate for volunteers. If the Army had been even slightly careful they would have never let in a kid with Green's past. Not only that but they sent him to the most violent area. This was a kid who was arrested for smoking pot as a teen and didn't give either of his parents' names to the police as contacts because the parents were so unreliable. His commander had recently died in his arms while they were being shot at. The heavy Taurus/Scorpio Nodal Axis in play? Looks like it.
