Shocking Tragedy In Norway: The Natal Chart Of Anders Behring Breivik
“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.”
–Carl Gustav Jung
While I prefer to follow the idea of “innocent until proven guilty,” short of there being some massive conspiracy theory it seems certain that Anders Behring Breivik is the gunman that murdered, massacred really, 85 young people at a youth camp in Norway yesterday. I often hesitate to write about the charts of murderers because I fear someone will mistakenly judge certain aspects as murderous, as in “oh my GOD, my boyfriend might be a mass murderer!” You don’t blame the chart; you blame the individual based on their acts, acts committed through free will.

I Have A House Full Of Luchadores Today
“If you want to play with the big boys you’ve got to learn to play rough.”
–My Dad, generally at the point where I was already crying
All three kids are home today. I hear my my mother’s voice coming out of my mouth: “Put your sister DOWN! No, not like that,” as he’s lifting her in a cradle hold. The Moon is conjunct Mars in Gemini quincunxing Pluto, and the siblings (Gemini) are feeling cheerfully violent. Jupiter is in the mix, inflating these urges. I keep stepping in like a referee (it hits my Mars Saturn) to keep them from injuring each other.

Mars Pluto: Do Or Die
[after spotting Harold hanging from a noose in the living room] “I suppose you think that’s very funny, Harold… Oh, dinner at eight, Harold. And do try and be a little more vivacious.”
–Harold’s Mother, “Harold and Maude”
That sounds very dramatic, “do or die,” but it’s one of the possible energy signatures of Mars aspecting Pluto, as it does today in square. In fact, the reason I bring it up is that is the phrase that sprang to my mind the moment I woke up this morning. It’s the ultimate motivator, right? It is unless you have a deathwish.

Transit Watch: Mars Square Pluto – April 12, 2011 – Resolute
My eye on the sky.
Mars and Pluto in combination have a bad reputation in astrology, particularly when the planets are in hard aspect. Keywords would include, “manipulation”, “ruthlessness” and maybe even “evil”. This intense energy might be described as dark rage but to me it’s just energy and energy of any kind is always useful for people who can to work with it.
The fact is, this is something you can tap. The collective rage, let’s say. It is possible to tap that and channel it into any endeavor you choose. It’s true, it is highly combustible but so is gasoline and we manage to do some pretty spiff stuff with that.

You’ve Got a Lot of Nerve, Virgo Mars! (Conjunct Pluto)
Notes from the Psychoscape
Went out for a bite to eat after class the other night with my yoga teacher and the Scorpio guy. The topic of conversation: Scorpio guy’s new girlfriend. Clarification: Scorpio guy’s new much younger girlfriend.
Apparently he is setting a date by which she needs to “get it together” or he’s walking.
“What does that mean, get it together?”
“Simple things. Laundry.”
“You want her to do your laundry?”
“No, I want her to do her own laundry.”
“So, you’re doing her laundry?”
“I have done her laundry a few times as a favor, but not regularly.”
“So… YOU… just want HER… to DO… her own laundry?”
“Yes.”

Open Question: Mars Square, Opposite Or Inconjunct Pluto – Sexual Obsession Or Molestation
Ask the collective
Dear Elsa,
I was wondering if you had ever done a blog on MARS SQUARE, OPPOSITION OR INCONJUNCT PLUTO? This has been my most interesting find to date in this subject. All the men so far with this aspect are congenital adulterers and the female counterparts have been abused physically and sexually molested in their lives. I know of a few women with these apsects who go through one man after another and never learn to be faithful until late in life..and some never do.
Continue reading Open Question: Mars Square, Opposite Or Inconjunct Pluto – Sexual Obsession Or Molestation
Quiet around here… I guess people have their stomachs in their throats, I know I do.
The Pisces Moon is currently conjunct Uranus and emotions are unstable. Worse, later this evening the Moon heads into the Mars Pluto mess and many have a feelings of dread.
It would be a lot simpler if things were deep and still but Uranus acts like some sort of crazy egg beater whipping things up and also preventing a person from being able to attach.
For example, I would write you guys some deeply stirring Pluto Moon bit if only I could lose the frenetic energy part of this equation. As it is I am unable to settle in and all the planets in Virgo insist people work, preferably like slaves.
The result is an upset stomach to say the least.
Who else out there is churning?
Astrology Today – Good Luck Identifying The Real Victim In This Hall Of Mirrors
My eye on the sky
The day is bound to be difficult with the Moon is in Pisces post the lunar eclipse, opposing all the planets in Virgo. It’s just a lumpy bumpy rife and the temptation to project today is sky high but should be easy to spot.
Someone is the victim (Pisces Moon) or at least feels they are. This leaves the other person to be the critical, exacting oppressive Saturn / Virgo figure stomping on the sensitivities of Pisces. Thing is, it doesn’t work that way because the victim has a million tricks of their own. “Hey! They were insensitive and cruel so now I’m going to be insensitive and cruel…”
If you mean to navigate this one with some degree of consciousness you will have a real challenge on your hands, and if you put forth an effort you are very liable to act (Mars) unconsciously (Pluto) so lets just hope you murky bits know what they’re doing!
Post your observations of this phenomena…
Mars is squaring Pluto today setting off the transit to my natal Moon and one thing with Pluto Moon, you can really see people’s motives. With an 8th house like mine I’ve got this gift/curse anyway but jeez louise the transit kicks it up big time and today is no exception.
Today the soldier got an email meant to provoke him. The person who sent it is acting as agent of the person who is really pulling the strings and either is or pretends to be an innocent.
“Boy is she getting set up,” I said, the action completely transparent to me. ‘Why does someone let themselves be used like that anyway? I sure wouldn’t. If you told me, hey Elsa! Send this person an email so I can jerk their chain, I’d tell you to go to hell! Send it yourself, I’d say!”

Astrology And Children: What If Your Child Has Difficult Aspects In Their Chart… Like Mars Pluto Suggesting Sexual Abuse And The Like?
Astrology in real life
Quite a few people who have Mars in aspect to Pluto surfaced on the Evolutionary Astrology Perspective piece to say they had been molested. While this manifestation is certainly not a given, I would say the fact that someone with an aspect between Mars and Pluto in their chart is at increased risk is undeniable.
Now I just heard from a mother of a daughter who has Mars in aspect to Pluto in her chart and being as she can read a chart, she keeps extra close tabs on her but is that enough? I don’t think so. Because that energy is going to be expressed one way or the other. You can’t just “avoid” something in your chart… something that is part of your destiny.
