Solunars by Aldebaran Sidereal Academy

Starting about 2:30 PM, today the 27th of April, as the teenagers got out of three close by highschools, groups began congregating around the Mondawmin Mall, which had been threatened with vandalism and was closed for the day. 200 - 300 teenagers faced off with police, throwing rocks, chunks of concrete, bottles. Seven police were seriously injured so far, one is unresponsive.

The unresponsive officer was injured about 1:50 PM close to 39.316686, -76.650247, and carried to a police riot vehicle under a hail of rocks and concrete, responded to with tear gas and pepper balls. A CVS Pharmacy is currently under attack.

This is all from what I can see being shown live on television from helicopter feeds, and the short announcement by a police spokesman a few minutes ago.

Capsolar and Cansolar for "Baltimore, MD" according to Solar Fire are dormant. Arisolar Mscope shows Pluto 36' from the Ascendant.

Caplunar Mscope shows Neptune 31' off the Ascendant, while the Moon is square Venus 47' off partile. Moon-Venus is "involving children" in mundane work, right?

I hope I'm doing the CapQ right. Shows the Moon almost 5° south of the Dsc, but foreground Saturn is 20' off square with Mars. Uranus and Pluto are not near the angles at 4PM, but are 51' apart, so may show up later in the day creating hate and discontent.

Yes, that volatile Arisolar is the key: Pluto half a degree from Ascendant, Mars foreground, and the universal Moon-Venus-Saturn T-square affecting the whole world.

Angular Moon certainly does. I haven't seen in much with children issues per se, though it's not too bad in theory. Of the couple hundred events in SMA, I can only attach it to two that are children-oriented (the Niteroi Circus fire and the Oslo attacks).

I think the main point is that Neptune is half a degree from rising. I'm not sure what the Moon-Venus relevance is here, although being a mundane aspect it does have localized relevance for Baltimore (or, the general part of the Atlantic seaboard). Do you have any information on their stated motivations? Neptune is appropriate for any out of control mob activity.

In any case, there is a Venus theme. The new Canlunar has Venus partile conjunct Descendant.

For general coordinates of Baltimore, I get CapQ Ascendant at 2:30 PM as 22°49' Aries. Mars at 24°49' Aries is just within the 2° orb of conjunct Asc and getting closer. (Must be the chart you see, since progressed Moon is 5° above, i.e., south of, Descendant. But the key, the only planet within 2° of an angle, is transiting Mars.)

The CanQ pulls the Uranus-Pluto you were looking for. Transiting Pluto is conjunct Descendant, and t. Uranus squares it. Against that, we have more Venus: Cansolar Venus on EP and square MC. Furthermore, t. Venus conjoins Cansolar MC. Venus is all over the place. There must be a distinctive Venus theme here, as in motive or context, because it sure doesn't seem to be manifesting as peace. (Venus is virtually absent for populist uprisings. Not sure if this event falls in that category.)

Motive: I had realized this was connected. According to the Baltimore Sun, "The flier included an image of protesters smashing the windshield of a police car Saturday during a march spurred by the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old man who suffered a spinal cord injury earlier this month after being arrested by city police."

I've heard only a tiny bit about this Freddie Gray incident, so hadn't connected it to Baltimore.

The Baltimore police are notorious for abusing black men. They have a thing called a Rough Ride, where arrested men are put in a van, no seatbelt, which is driven in such a way as to bounce enough they hit their heads on the ceiling, slam into the walls, and so on.

Freddie Gray was arrested because he ran from police who admit they had no other reason to stop him. He was caught by four officers on bicycles who had him down on the ground when the video we have started. He was dragged, not walked, into a van. He was handcuffed and it's hard to tell from the video if he was refusing to walk or unable to.

More than 40 minutes later, after at least two stops, including one during which they put leg irons on him, an ambulance was called for Gray. He died two days later of a broken back.

His funeral and burial was this morning. There were a lot of "outside agitators" being called out by people who were part of the funeral. When the high schools let out this afternoon, the rioting started.

It appears to me the events unfolding in Baltimore is a cause & effect of the nasty Arisolar.
