Austin bombs

I frankly don't know what's going on in Austin. So far, five bombs have been set off there (or, one of them, while en route there). Nobody has died, but people have gotten hurt. It doesn't seem to be about each bomb, but about something larger occurring.

It is, however, an easily isolated location astrologically. Remember that Moon-Mercury-Saturn triple conjunction in the Capsolar? Well, it slices through the middle of Texas. In fact, the Austin IC is 0°14' from Saturn, 1°48' from Moon, and 2°43' from Mercury. Uranus is 2°09' before due west (Vertex) in azimuth, and Neptune (which seems a sign and a half from Uranus) is 2°47' on the other side. That isn't close enough to count as a meaningful conjunction, but it does put Uranus square Saturn 0°24' in azimuth (PVP square).

For the month, the Caplunar has a 0°19' Moon-Uranus square everywhere in the world, but in Austin it is angular, with Uranus 2°17' from Descendant. Mars, 2° past Antivertex (due east), is almost exactly PVP square the angular Uranus.

If it seems that it's picking up this week, notice that today is the exact day that Mars transiting Capsolar Saturn - which was on IC in Austin. The Austin IC is 7°47' Sagittarius, and Mars is spending most of a week slowly inching across that degree. After it clears Saturn and IC, it will start across Capsolar and CapQ Moon, which will take several more days, just as the Cansolar's Mars-Uranus square progresses to 0°00' orb. It's really quite spectacular to see all of this in action, and I encourage anyone with an interest in these phenomena to retrace it for themselves.

The police aren't sure the incendiary device (not bomb) at the Fedex terminal is another by the same person or a copycat.

From Wikipedia:

Well, that makes me look smart that last night I wrote this seemed to be coming to a head :twisted: Cops had a suspect, moved in on him this morning, chased him a bit, and he blew himself up. I'm still waiting for concrete information on the timing of his final detonation, but we know it occurred with transiting Mars conjunct Capsolar Saturn on Austin's Capsolar IC. [EDIT: Current best info is "about 2:00 AM.]

Thanks for the list, JDAD. This entire story since March 2 took place under appropriate ingresses; but I'll be interested in whether there were daily markers that tagged the individual incidents.

Here are the non-dormant lunar ingresses covering March 2 forward:

Feb 12 Caplunar. Moon-Uranus sq. 19', Uranus on Dsc (2°11'), Moon & Pluto wider.

Feb 26 Canlunar. Saturn on WP (1°48'), Pluto on Dsc (2°34'), some Moon (which of course was square Uranus).

Mar 12 Caplunar. Sun on EP (0°44') & Asc (2°26'), Neptune 1°25' above Asc, Su/Ne on the city's Asc for the month, Mars wider near MC.

Mar 19 Arilunar. Relief: Jupiter on WP (1°39')

A series of bomb explosions and near-explosions occurred on half a dozen dates (identified above) from March 2 through March 21, 2018 in and around Austin, Tx. The story came to a climax March 21, 2018, about 2:00 AM, Austin, Tx, when the perpetrator was chased down by police and detonated (apparently intentionally) a final bomb that killed him.

Here is the full breakdown of that climax.

Year: Capsolar {+2}
Saturn on IC (0°14')
Moon on IC (1°48')
Mercury on IC (2°43')
-- Moon-Mercury conj. (0°51')
-- Moon-Saturn conj. (1°34' in mundo)
-- Mercury-Saturn conj. (2°26')

Bridge {+3}
CanQ Mars-Uranus sq. 0°00' for last half of March
CapQ Moon conj. s/p Mercury 1/14-3/21
t Mars on Capsolar Angles 3/18-25
(Narrowed by t Mars conj. s Saturn 3/21-24)
Event window: March 18-25 (or 21-24)

Month: Caplunar {+2}
Neptune on Asc (1°25')
Sun sq. MC (0°25'), conj. Asc (2°25')
-- Su/Ne on Asc (0°30')
Mars on MC (7°57')
Moon-Uranus sq. (1°28')
Moon-Jupiter sq. (1°53' in mundo)
Moon-Pluto conj. (3°51' in mundo)

INTERESTING ASIDE: Sun-Chiron partile mundane conjunction near Asc
NOTE wrote:The bombings began under the February 12 Caplunar (Moon-Uranus sq. 19', Uranus on Dsc 2°11', Moon & Pluto wider) and the February 26 Canlunar (Saturn on WP 1°48', Pluto on Dsc 2°34', some Moon which squared Uranus).
Week: Arilunar {+2}
(The angular Jupiter shows the final resolution, I think.)
Jupiter on WP (1°38')
Moon-Uranus conj. (1°50')

Day: Capsolar Quotidian & Transits {+2}
p Moon conj. p Mercury (1°00' - exact end of the aspect)
----------------------------
t Mars op. s MC (0°43') - conj. s Saturn (0°58')

Day: Cansolar Quotidian {+2}
p Mars conj. s/p Uranus 0°00'
(This was near, but not on, Cansolar angles.)
p MC op. p Moon (0°49')
p Asc op. s Sun (1°25')
