Eleven people are dead including the shooter (and twelve others injured) in what appears to be the worst mass shooting ever in normally-peaceful Sweden. The shooting occurred at Campus Risbergska, an adult educational center between 12:33 PM and 2:15 PM.

Sweden is historically peaceful. However, given economic (cost of living and other) extremes lately, it's been experiencing one of the highest rates of gun violence in Europe. Motives for this shooting are still unclear. - The shooting be with a close Moon-Pluto square and the telltale mass-shooting aspect, a Venus-Neptune conjunction with Mars about 1° from Ascendant (something not evident ecliptically, where it looked like it was 11° below Asc).

The charts are fantastic until we get to the CapQ for the day: It gives us nothing. But this happens sometimes and, when it does, statistics show that the other three solar ingresses rise to the occasion. In this case, the CanQ alone does the job, and the other two add even more.

A Lear Jet carrying 10 passengers has disappeared before it was able to land in Alaska.

Do you have date, time, and place? I heard of this (just one more notable air disaster this month) but then couldn't find anything on it. - If you have the flight number, we can perhaps track the rest down.

Do you have date, time, and place?

The plane missing in Alaska, a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, was last seen over the Norton Sound around 3:16 p.m. Thursday

February 6, 2025, 3:18 PM YST, Nome, Alaska

Ten people aboard. Flying from Unalakleet to Nome in Alaska. Lost tracking or communication when twelve miles off shore. An official said the plane "experienced some kind of event which caused them to experience a rapid loss in elevation and a rapid loss in speed" about 3:18 PM.

Wikipedia gives the coordinates of Norton Sound (presumably the geographic center) as 63.9° N, 163.3° W (it's about 125 miles wide). Since the plane was only twelve miles offshore, I'm going to interpret that as meaning "almost at Nome" and use Nome's coordinates.

If this was a Mars event that took down the plane, the charts show it very well, from beginning to end.

[An enormous list of aspects. I give it only +1 because it says so much that it's hard to say what it says. I give it at least +1 because the majority of its aspects describe the event, including its closest aspect (and then there is a bit too much unafflicted Venus).]

Feb 10, 2025, 5:00 AM CST, Puente Belice, Guatemala City, Guatemala 14N38'57'' 90W29'08''
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Guat ... _bus_crash

"A bus veered off a highway bridge [65 feet] into a polluted ravine... killing at least 30 people and trapping survivors" (Reuters). "The bus was traveling on a busy route in and out of the city..." This bus was on Puente Belice ["Belize Bridge"], "a highway bridge that crosses over a road and creek."

A local Guatemalan newspaper lists 51 deaths. I think this was an earlier estimate that has been superseded. (I just found another Guatemalan paper that said "at least 50" were reported killed.) UPDATE 2/11: Today's reports say at least 56 deaths.

I have no time of the event yet. A local paper says the bus left San Agustin Acasaguastian at 3:00 AM and describes the event as "in the early morning." The drive from San Agustin Acasaguastian to Guatemala City is about two to two and a half hours, so an estimated time is 5:00 am presuming no traffic during the night. (I'll wait until I can pin this down a bit more.) - Confirmation, another paper says, "According to the municipal firefighters, around 5:00 am local time, the bus driver lost control, crashed into several cars, and fell into a polluted river at the bottom of a ravine approximately 20 meters deep."

NOTE 2/11: The new Wikipedia page for this event says the time was 4:20 AM. That seems unlikely considering the other data reported yesterday (see the last paragraph for the math). PS - My coordinates are for the exact bridge location and are better than Wikipedia's.

At 5:00 am, Pluto was 0°09' from EP-a. Moon was a few minutes before her setting.

February 19, 2025, 8:28 AM MST, near Marana Regional Airport, Tucson, AZ 32N24'34 111W13'06"

Two small planes collided mid-air near Marana Regional Airport outside Tucson, killing at least two people. (Two others aboard were unharmed.) This is the next in a series of air disasters under the current Caplunar for Washington. Coordinates above are for the airport.

Neptune and Venus were both within about a quarter degree of Ascendant when the collision occurred, with Saturn near them. A mundane Moon-Mars square existed for the location.

[The close angularities and Moon aspects are perfect! I was ready to give this a three. But the foreground aspects are entirely wrong. I suppose it's a +2 but the mostly benefic aspects may drag it lower than that.]

[It has the marks of a transportation accident but, even more, it has marks of benevolence. I suppose it's really saying there was a Mercury bad event AND half the people lived. Objectively, though, I can't score this positively: It's a draw.]
