Alberto Casillas Murder

Saw this article asking for help in solving a 5 year old murder in San Francisco. I'm just a crazy Astrology buff and have no forensics experiences but thought I'd try to take a look at the chart.

Alberto Casillas was confronted by two men in a nightclub in the South of Market district in San Francisco, CA on Jan. 7, 2007. He drove off with some friends in his car but was shot by the men. He later died in the Hospital. The articles give almost no other information beyond this so it's really difficult to understand what actually went on. For example, there is no information about who the other passengers were in the car.

There are two police drawings of the shooters in the article. In other articles I've read Casillas' Mother is keeping the case open by passing out fliers on the street to see if anyone will come forward.

I pulled up some keywords from Rex Bills.

I didn't find a rulership for snitches and that's what we need. I suspect that we'd want to see some Mercury/Gemini influence in that regard just because that sign is associated with loose lips. Just read this blog if you want to understand the stupids associated with Mercury/Gemini influence. I also suspect that the Saturn-Pluto trine that was occuring on the day that Casillas was shot could possibly bring forward another type of snitch. Saturn-Pluto trines can be very concerned with doing the right thing and they may have the balls to come forward and speak out. Unfortunately, the angles of the event chart are ruled by Neptune and Pluto and these two are involved in secrecy and cover ups and crimes.

This event chart has many classic signatures for homicide.

Scorpio Rising.
Neptune c. IC.
Mars conjunct Pluto trining Moon in Virgo-Saturn in Leo (H10).

Amazing how often Scorpio is rising when brutal murders take place. As one can see from the rulerships listed above, pluto rules this type of crime to the tee. Neptune at the bottom of the chart adds to this as it signifies a "Fog of War" type of situation. Neptune rules alcohol and drugs and since this event happened at a night club I assume those were strong factors in why the event occurred.

First thing I noticed was the Mars-Pluto conjunction in the 2d house trining the Moon in Virgo. This can show volatile emotions. It seems that whatever set the shooters off occurred earlier in the evening. Mars is impulse, Moon is reactivity, Pluto is revenge. The trine connection between the 2d House and the 10th House indicates some sort of control thing. The 2d House represents money so perhaps there was money owed or theft involved.

This is a sling shaped chart with a Moon-Saturn conjunction acting as handle up in the 10th House. This places a lot of emphasis on those two planets which are rulers of parents, homelife, social status. When I first read a blurb about the murder I was wondering if this were a family related crime in some way. Then I read that Casillas' mother is not giving up on finding her sons murderers, this could mean that her grief and determination to find her son's killers will eventually work out. The Virgo Moon is opposing Ceres in the 4th House. This ties the Ceres/Demeter myth into the chart very strongly. Demeter was Goddess of the Harvest. She fought with Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, who had abducted her daughter Persephone. Eventually Persephone was allowed to come back above ground for 6 months of the year, Pluto kept her downstairs the other 6 months.

Looking at this chart, I would suspect that the Mother would find more information from sifting through data and from looking for clues through physical evidence than by looking for witnesses who will come forward. The people involved here look unreliable and unable to help. There are no planets in the 1st or 7th Houses. Pluto ruling and Neptune in conjunction with the IC shows that the situation is difficult to understand. There is much grief and sense of loss in this chart as Saturn is both trining Pluto and opposing Neptune.

Mars will have a long retrograde transit back over the Moon of this chart so perhaps there will be some extra impetus to solve the crime. Virgo is a sensible sign which doesn't really stick its neck out to perform noble deeds so perhaps other means of solving the crime will help. Virgo represents Data Analysis, so there might be some way to track the killers by sifting through Data. The Moon in conjunction with Saturn in Leo out of sign up in the 10th House and trining Mars-Pluto shows that the scientific evidence is probably there. Or at least it would have been at the time. Saturn is Retrograde which could indicate a long delay. The Moon here is Void of Course which also indicates some problems in solving.

There are 3 planets in the 2d house in Sagittarius. These are Jupiter, Mars and Pluto. That's a lot of "party" energy. Sagittarius is an optimistic sign and this does indicate to me that someone was feeling too lucky and overworked a situation.

Uranus in Pisces in House 4 in conjunction with the NN in Pisces. It seems that Neptune/Pisces issues may have been the reason behind the shootings. That doesn't give much interesting information as Neptune/Pisces rules drugs, escapism, jails, death and crime. Perhaps the criminals were drug dealers. This could be gang related.

The Sun was conjunct Mercury on the same degree at 16 Capricorn in the 3d House. This describes the shooting in the car. I'm not up on my Cazimi Mercury interpretations so don't know what that means. In the 3d House it could indicate that the witnesses do know the killers. I do know that it indicates something having to with cars and drivers.

Venus is also in the 3d House conjunct Chiron. She is otherwise unaspected so she stands out. This shows the presence of a female who perhaps has problems. This could be a sister or a cousin or someone going through a Divorce or drug problems. I don't know who the other passengers in the car were. Perhaps Casillas was trying to protect a woman and was shot. Venus rules the 12th House which is said to show the cause of the crime.

I send my condolences to those who have grieved over this death and hope that someone will come forward with some information that will lead to Justice in this crime. Venus also rules Justice through the sign of Libra.
