Overland Park Jewish Center shootings

[Jim Eshelman]

Yesterday, April 14, 2014, in Overland Park, KS, shootings resulted in the deaths of at least three people. CNN reported the event at 1:55 PM PDT and LA Times at 2:13 PM PDT. The shootings began "just after 1 PM" local time. I'll use 1:00 PM (almost the minute that Mars crossed the IC).

The shootings occurred at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City in Overland Park, and at the Village Shalom Retirement Community in Leadwood. They occurred on the day before Passover.

The shooter was identified as a 73-year-old "Missouri man with a long history of spouting anti-Semitic rhetoric," the "founder and former leader of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the White Patriot Party."

Year: Capsolar
The Capsolar is dormant.

Year: Cansolar
The prior Canlunar doesn't exactly describe the event, except to the extent that the 0°54' mundane Moon-Saturn conjunction existed, though it was common for much of the country.

The only angularity is Venus, 2° from the IC.

Month: Caplunar
Venus continues to have a strong hand in the Caplunar, being 0°22' from square the Ascendant. However, this time Venus is square Saturn, which is 4°44' above the Descendant. The Moon (barely in the foreground zone) is partile square Mars. We expected, and predicted, fires or other violent tragedy from the similar angularities of this map for Washington.

Intervening Week: Arilunar
For human events, there often is a gradual stepping up of circumstances toward an event such as this; therefore, I'm also checking the Arilunar for the intervening week. This also has Venus square Saturn (1°59') on the angles, Venus being 3°49' above the Descendant and Saturn 1°23' from square the horizon.

Week: Canlunar
Actually, that Arilunar becomes even more important because the Canlunar is dormant. The Arilunar is the acting "chart of the week."

Day: Capricorn Quotidian
With transiting Mars conjunct Capsolar Mars, progressed Capsolar Moon is only 0°42' from square Capsolar Mars.

Besides that, Venus continues its persistence: Transiting Venus is 0°10' from square the CapQ Ascendant. This, however, is Venus conjunct Neptune, and transiting Neptune is 1°35' from square the same angle. Venus-Neptune aspects are the particular form of Venus affliction that I keep seeing in shootings such as this (see the Aspects section of SMA: Columbine, Aurora "Dark Knight" shootings, Sandy Hook, Murrysville stabbings).

Day: Transits to Capsolar
Transiting Pluto is 0°21' from opposite Capsolar Moon. (We've been seeing this move its way through several events.)

Hour: Event chart
The action began within minutes of Mars crossing the IC.
