Murders at Jupiter Returns?

There was a Total Lunar Eclipse on Dec. 10 which looked pretty violent. Total Lunar Eclipses are like Full Moons gorked out on steroids because the Sun-Moon opposition is in conjunction with the Nodal Axis. In this particular Eclipse, the planet Mars was squaring the opposition from the sign of Virgo. Mars = Aggression and Violence, along with many more pleasant characteristics.

Moon-Mars squares tend to be times of emotional volatility because the Moon = Emotional Receptivity and squares indicates two planets that "challenge" each other.

Virgo rules Service, Jobs, Public Health, and a host of other things. Don't know if this has anything to do with anything but the progressed chart of the U.S. is currently going Retrograde (in Libra) so Mars Retrogrades may play require even more attention now than they did in the past. In early Libra, the U.S. Prog. Mars is going to be under stress no matter from the outer planets Uranus and Pluto (and last year Jupiter and Saturn.

And it seems that there have been several instances of violent behaviors which occurred on or around New Year's Eve. I have a birthday for only two of the perpetrators of the crimes and for none of the victims so I can only wonder at this point what was going on in their charts. What is interesting is how so many were the same age. Age 24 or 25 so they would have been born around 1987. Three of the stories involve ex-military personnel and one involves an arsonist. That makes sense as Mars rules fire and soldiers. Virgo rules Service.

Mars will be transiting through Virgo for a very long time because it will turn retrograde for about 6 months (I haven't looked up exact amount of time). Mars Retrogrades involve an opposition to the Sun which will occur in this case when the Sun hits Pisces in February or March. This is called a "Synodic Cycle" of Mars. The gang stalkers are going strong, that's for sure. They are not getting caught so terrorism is definitely the way to go. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, has a natal Sun-Mars opposition and he just put Facebook public so Facebook now also is "born" under this cycle.

It's good to remember that there was a Sun-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn on New Year's Eve which occurred this year and last year and will actually occur on every New Year's up until about 2018. Make sure there are a bunch of Scorpio Suns at your New Year's parties and make sure they are having a very, very good time and you will be okay. They make really good designated drivers because they can drive whilst unbelievably drunk, but don't tell anyone I said that, especially not them, they have too much confidence sometimes and you'll be bailing them out of jail on New Year's Day.

This would mean that the most recent planetary cycle completed by this age group of people is the 2d Jupiter Return. The kids this age were also born right before the big conjunction of Saturn-Uranus and Neptune that occurred around 1988-89. I think there was something called a Grand Concordance or something which everyone went to New Mexico for back in 1987. I went the day after just by coincidence. So, something was up when these kids were born. There was a Recession in there at some point as well, maybe it came a little bit later.

Jupiter has been on the fence between the signs of Aries and Taurus and has been opposing Saturn in Libra. It seems that 2 of the individuals involved were already going through their first divorce as well so were under a lot of stress. As I publish this it is firmly in Taurus at 4 degrees.

I noticed that while Saturn ruled the East Coast Chart for the December 10 Total Lunar Eclipse, Jupiter ruled the West Coast chart. And, amazingly, all the events I'm looking up involved West Coast. There's been a rash (sp?) of school teachers getting arrested for child molestation in California as well.

Arsonist begins setting fires in Car Ports in Hollywood, CA. on Dec. 30, 2011. The fires stop after Harry Burkhart was arrested on I believe Jan. 2, 2012. He is Age 24 and according to a website was born on July 12, 1987 in Chechnya. His rage was triggered by the arrest of his Mother. He also said he hates America. They always do. Both Mother and Son are German Nationals who had been living in Los Angeles for 3 months.

Iraq War Veteran Benjamin Colton Barnes then shot 4 people at a New Year's Eve party up in Washington with one other person. He is also Age 24. He was going through a divorce and custody fight and supposedly has a long history of problematic behavior. Barnes was apparently was not a combat soldier and was discharged from the army early for bad behavior. Colton shot and killed Park Ranger Margaret Anderson on New Year's Day at 10:20 am in Olympia National Park. Anderson was Age 34. May she rest in Peace.

Then in Coronado, San Diego, CA, there was a Triple Murder-Suicide among Navy Pilots. John Robert Reeves, Age 25, committed Suicide. It is now thought that he murdered David Reis, Age 25 and his sister Karen Reis, Age 24 along with Matthew Christopher Saturley, Age 31.

The shots were heard on Jan 1, 2011 at 2:20 am Coronado, CA Scorpio was rising at this time.

Then in Orange County, Southern California, another Veteran, Itzcoatl Ocampo, stabbed 4 homeless people to death before he was caught. He has now also been charged with the stabbing death of the Mother and Brother of a high school friend. Ocampo had also been discharged from the army for bad conduct, like Benjamin Colton Barnes up in Washington. His family said that he had been acting strangely ever since coming home.

Birth date I found:

Itzcoatl Ocampo
b. Mar 20, 1988, Mexico

Sun 1 Aries; Moon Leo or Virgo; NN 23 Pisces Rx

Ocampo has been going through his Jupiter Return at 5 Taurus. This is extra strong for him because his progressed Sun is exactly conjunct his natal Jupiter right now. Natal Sun at 1 Aries is on the Aries Point and, so has been heavily afflicted over the last year by the big outer planet t-square of Saturn-Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter in a way which brings him before the public, unfortunately not for a good reason. Ocampo's natal and progressed Suns are both heavily afflicted by lots of difficult aspects. Natal Sun is squaring Neptune-Saturn-Uranus in Capricorn and is inconjunct Pluto in Scorpio and is possibly apex of a Yod to Pluto in Scorpio and Moon in Virgo. The Progressed Chart shows p. Sun c. p. Mercury and squaring p. Mars 11 Aquarius and opposing n./p. Pluto.

Wow, Jupiter in Taurus. Who knew? Well, with an opposition to Pluto in Scorpio these kids are going to be feeling the Economic pains extra hard. Taurus and Pluto are the money signs.

Gen X & Gen Y

Interesting little article titled "Gen Y: An Alien Life Force?" in a magazine titled What is Enlightenment? (Feb-Apr 2008 issue). According to this article older people are confounded by the younger generation. The U.S. Navy has called them "narcissistic praise junkees" and "a somewhat alien life force." I suppose the boomers were called "Draft Dodgers" when faced with Vietnam, so I don't know how important this criticism is. Either way I was sort of shocked by a poll which is listed comparing people born in Gen X (Age 26-40) and people born later (Age 18-25). The Generation Y people just want to be rich and famous, very few want to become more spiritual. The magazine's website is www.wie.org so maybe they include the article.

I sort of starting blaming Pluto in Virgo v. Pluto in Libra for this phenomenon but when I looked at the years that separate these generations I realized that they are marked by major outer planet configurations.

Generation X began around 1967 when there was a Kite Pattern (February, 1967) of Uranus-Pluto in Virgo opposite Saturn in Pisces which includes a Grand Water Trine between Saturn in Pisces trine Jupiter in Cancer trine Neptune in Scorpio. Of course this generation wants spirituality with all that Water plus Virgo and of course they don't understand the money thing as well.

Generation Y began around 1982 up to 1990. In 1982 there was the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Libra. Uranus and Neptune were both in Sagittarius, not in conjunction. Narcissism is one of the markers for both of these signs. Spirituality for these folks is going to be much different than it was for the previous generation, much more social and extroverted. Perhaps they don't feel any deep yearnings to pursue any big questions because outward adventure is their expression. I wouldn't expect a Libra Generation to run out and sign up for the draft, that's for sure.

The article only accounts for kids 18 years old and beyond which cuts off that Generation at 1990. In 1990 of course there was the big conjunction of Saturn-Uranus-Neptune in Capricorn, a sign which appreciates money and particularly fame.

So, anyway, I think it's interesting that these dates line up with some of the major outer planet transits.
