Charlie Hebdo massacre

[Jim Eshelman]

January 7, 2015, 11:30 AM, Paris, France, 48N51'33'', 2E22'13'

Inside the offices of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris, 12 people were killed and 11 wounded this morning [January 7, 2015]. Two men, masked and heavily armed, entered the paper's office with AK-47s and began shooting. This took place at approximately 11:00 AM.

This isn't the first time the paper was attacked. Three years ago, after it published cartoons including representations of Mohammed, the office was burned.

PRECIS
Solar: Saturn (Neptune). Moon-Mercury, Sa/Ne.
Lunar: Venus, Uranus, Pluto <7'> (Moon, Mars). Moon-Uranus, Venus-Pluto, Uranus-Pluto.
Day: Neptune, Moon-Sun (CapQ). Moon-Pluto (transits to Capsolar).

Year: Capsolar The Capsolar is dormant. It has the Moon-Jupiter-Pluto aspects that the whole world has, and these are quite consistent with the terrorist event.

Half year: Cansolar
Saturn on Asc (2°59')
Neptune on IC (3°12')
Sa/Ne on angles (0°07')
Moon-Mercury sq. (1°09')

Quarter: Libsolar The Libsolar is dormant, though it has the Moon-Saturn square (1°12') for the whole world.

Month: Caplunar
Pluto on WP (0°07')
Uranus on MC (2°34')
-- Uranus-Pluto sq. (0°19')
Venus sq. MC (1°35')
Moon on Dsc (4°39')
-- Moon-Uranus sq. (2°05' in mundo)
-- Venus-Pluto conj. (0°07' in mundo)
Mars on Dsc (8°41')

Week: Canlunar
Venus on IC (0°50')
Mercury on IC (0°43')
Me/Ve on IC (0°04'), Venus-Mercury conj. (1°43')
Moon-Uranus sq. (2°05' in mundo)
(In general, this chart is completely inappropriate, with the exception of the mundane Moon-Uranus square that is unique to the area; and even this has to be seen in the context of the Mercury-Venus angular pair.)

Day: Capsolar Quotidian & Transits
CapQ Moon op. s. Sun (0°36'), p. Sun (0°24'), Su/Su midpoint (0°06')
CapQ Asc sq. s. Neptune (0°14')
[t. Saturn looks impressive, but isn't in orb - it may have been a factor for the two days leading up. Note that Neptune was also rising locally at the time of the attack. most showing the hysteria caused by the event; and that was setup by the CapQ angularity.]
----------------------------------------
t. Pluto op. s. Moon (0°33')

Day: Cansolar Quotidian & Transits
CanQ MC conj. t. Mars (0°12')
CanQ WP conj. t. Saturn (1°19')
CanQ Asc conj. p. Venus (1°01'), s. Venus (0°26')
t. Uranus conj. CanQ Moon (0°04')
t. Pluto sq. CanQ Moon (0°38')


SUMMARY
Year: (Dormant.) Moon-Jupiter-Pluto.
Half year: Saturn (Neptune). Moon-Mercury, Sa/Ne.
Quarter: (Dormant.) Moon-Saturn.
Month: Venus, Uranus, Pluto <7'> (Moon, Mars). Moon-Uranus, Venus-Pluto, Uranus-Pluto.
Week: Mercury, Venus. Moon-Uranus, Mercury-Venus.
Day (Capsolar): Neptune, Moon-Sun (CapQ). Moon-Pluto (transits to Capsolar).
Day (Cansolar): Venus, Mars, Saturn, Moon-Uranus (CanQ). Moon-Uranus, Moon-Pluto (transits to Cansolar).

Things continue to be volatile in Paris today. The police have surrounded the last two subjects, who have communicated their wish to go out as martyrs. I expect explosions before this is over. And there is a separate, but surely not unrelated, new hostage situation on the other side of Paris.

The CapQ Ascendant is squarely square Neptune today, and the CanQ angles remain easily within orb of transiting Mars and Saturn. This is not the week to "wander down the Champs Elysées, going café to cabaret."

Nous sommes Charlie, eh?
