Aitzaz Hasan's death

[Jim Eshelman]

A 15-year-old Pakistani boy, Aitzaz Hasan, is being hailed as a national hero after tackling a suicide bomber approaching Aitzaz' school. The bomber triggered the explosion and they both died. As many as a thousand students' lives were saved because the bomber didn't reach the school.

I'm curious whether this event will carry the strong lunar presence that marks stories (especially tragic stories) involving children and the general "human interest" angle.

The event occurred Ibrahimzai, Pakistan (33N33, 71E09) on January 6, 2014. Absent an exact time, I notice that he was a little late for school, so I'm going to estimate 8:00 AM.

CAPSOLAR: There was a broad lunar trend for the year: The Moon (albeit a very well-aspected Moon) was on the IC for the region. Jupiter (which squared the Moon) was closer.

CANSOLAR: More Moon, less "good." The Moon and Saturn straddled the Ascendant.

LIBSOLAR: Close Mars-Neptune opposition along the meridian.

That was the longer range background. How about the shorter term for this particular event?

CAPLUNAR: Saturn setting.

CAPSOLAR QUOTIDIAN: Transiting Saturn conjunct Ascendant. Ingress Neptune on the IC.

CANSOLAR QUOTIDIAN: Transiting Saturn and CanQ Moon conjunct Descendant.

CONCLUSION: The violence and sadness are well represented. Simultaneously, we have a very strong presence of the Moon as predicted.
