Delta Delta The Flight Attendant Just Cussed Me Out

JetBlue Flight Attendant Steven Slater had a bad day at work today. At around noon, just as Flight 1052 bound from Pittsburgh to New York was taxi-ing to a stop at the airport, a passenger bounded out of his seat ignoring the "Do Not Unfasten Seat Belt Sign", and began grabbing for his luggage in the overhead bin. There's always one in the crowd. The passenger is said to have hit Flight Attendant Stephen Slater in the head with his bag as Slater was asking him to remain seated. It must not have been Gucci because the two immediately started cussing each other out. Slater got onto the PA system and began to cuss the guy out over the loudspeakers. After bidding adieau with an "I've had it. That's it." Steven dropped the emergency shoot out onto the runway, jumped it, walked to his car and drove home. He was then arrested.

Arrested? What--eveeeer.

The chart is pretty cool. Today the Leo New Moon was just hitting the Midheaven at the time of the incident. Nothing say High Noon at OK Corral more than a Leo New Moon at High Noon. The Sun is conjunct the Moon at the very tip top of the chart in the Sign of Drama, Firey Emotions, Bossy Behaviors, and Noble Deeds in the 10th House of, shall we say, *****Major Career Decisions*****

The tense t-square that is currently plaguing the entire world, that is Saturn-Uranus-Pluto, is loaded up with extra planets right now. Venus and Mars are in conjunction with Saturn one the first degrees of Libra. Jupiter is conjunct Uranus at the beginning of Aries. And Pluto is conjunct the North Node in Capricorn.

The opposition part of the t-square is layered right over the 6th House of Daily Job Routine and Service and the 12th House of Self-Undoing and Martyrdom. They are squaring PLuto (power)-NN (destiny) in the 3d House of Transportation and, uh, Verbal Communications. However unplanned for, Steven Slater, decided to redirect the path his life was taking today with regards to employment status.

Jupiter and Uranus, which together rule the Airlines and Air Travel are in conjunction to the 6th House cusp of Daily Job Routine and Service. The closest time I can find of the incident is "around Noon". At that time Libra would have been rising at 27 degrees, so Venus would have ruled the chart (conjunct Saturn and Mars and the 12th House cusp) and Mars would have ruled the Descendant (Customer).

This can easily be considered a violent combination but placed within the Mutable Signs there's probably nobody who doesn't identify more with Steven Slater's plight than with the pushy customer. At Age 37 or 38 Slater is close to going through his Nodal Return right now. This would be a tough one what with it conjunct Pluto and squaring all those planets and all. More than other signs Capricorn can run into snags with providing Customer Service. When Capricorn says No, Capricorn means "No." Interesting how the argument was over safety issues which is a major Saturnian issue. It sure is a great expression of the Mars-Saturn conjunction square Pluto which generally indicates "emergency procedures."

Unfortunately, the 12th House also rules Jail and Slater was arrested at his home soon after the incident.
