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.

Astrology And Death: Ryan Dunn
“Let’s be careful out there.”
–Sergeant Esterhaus, Hill Street Blues
There have been two celebrity deaths in the last few days that I have been aware of. First was Clarence Clemons, The Big Man, best known as Bruce Springsteen’s sax player. I thought I would be more upset about his passing. What I actually felt was an awareness of the respect I have for his music and gratitude for the impact it had on me. The second was Ryan Dunn, an early reality television star, made famous by his association with Bam Margera and the Jackass franchise. This one hit me hard.

Uranus Aspecting Mars: My Mother, “The Bolter” by Satori
“It’s being made to learn things not on purpose. It’s unfair,” he said. “It’s sly.” Unfairness and slyness the four children hated above all.
–Half Magic, Edward Eager
On the boards, orangie asked about chart elements that might make someone prone to disappearing. What occurred to me when looking at the chart was not what I expected. Disappearing causes Neptune to come to mind, but what I saw was Uranus and Mars.
When Uranus aspects Mars you get someone who acts (Mars) quickly (Uranus). Add in the moon to the mix and you get someone who needs (Moon) space (Uranus).

Open Question: How Much Risk Are You Willing To Take?
Ask the collective
Keep in mind, the Mars Uranus opposition lies across the Virgo / Pisces axis. The signs communicate! The opposition hits the soldier’s chart hard (mine too) and he keeps challenging me.
“So tell me,” he said sitting in the bathtub with me a few days ago. “How much risk would you be willing to take? I mean how high is your…”
I interrupted, “Well let’s see. I left home when I was 15 wearing rubber sandals and without a dime to my name as I recall. Then I stepped out onto the highway and got into a car with five men so yeah. I’d say I can tolerate my share of risk…”
Actually I am a pure daredevil (how could he forget) and what about you?

The Soldier And His Mars Uranus Urge To Rebel
Astrology in real life
The soldier has an extreme impulse to assert his independence over the weekend. Having copious amounts of this type energy myself, I understand this…
“I just want to go to some bar, sit down, get drunk and bitch about woman at home,” he said.
I laughed. “Yeah, that’d be good. You can tell them you you get breakfast in bed every day of your life, how I cook for you three times a day and you get laid all the time,” I said.
“Well that’s right. I want to go complain about that.”
Do you ever just want to get the hell out? Where is your Jupiter? How about Uranus? I have the two in exact aspect and I have impulse to bolt on a daily basis.
Can you relate?
Astrology Today – Suicide Bomber And a Dollar Tip
My eye on the sky
The Moon in Libra is very well aspected by planets in Leo and Aquarius. It even picks up a square from Jupiter in (miserly) Capricorn which I guess is like getting a dollar tip in 2008.
People are liable to feel good.. They are liable to be benevolent and humanitarian and tip more than a dollar however that Mars Uranus opposition is also exact today so surprise attack / police / accident is always a possibility. A possibility but not a probability especially if these planets are well-aspected in your chart but still it’s very “suicide bomber” if you ask me. Violent sacrifice.
Does not mean there aren’t other ways to play. For example with my Mars in Libra activated I could unexpectedly (Uranus) decide (Libra) to be nice.
Ha ha ha
(This is assuming I could decide something in the first place… doubtful)
The Mars Uranus Opposition – And Then There Is The Time I Was Stopped For Rape
Astrology in real life
Speaking of surprise (Uranus) police (Mars) like when the Police Came To Get Me At The Airport, one time I was pulled over as a rape suspect. I was about 25.
Now I can tell you there is nothing gets your heart pumping like driving home alone late at night, passing a police car, hitting your brakes on reflex only to see them look directly at you as they pass.
Next thing I knew, the cop had made a U-turn and was coming up behind me sirens screaming. I quickly pulled over with my heart pounding and he was at the side of my window with his gun drawn and pointed at me in all what seemed like 2 seconds. I looked at him dumbly.

Another Angle On The Current Mars Uranus Opposition – Sexual Experimentation
Ask the collective
Never mind the violence, how about the sex?
With Mars currently opposing Uranus (in Pisces no less), it occurs to me people are going to have impulse to experiment sexually.
I am talking about impulses that come out of nowhere and shock you.
Anyone notice this in yourself or someone around you?

Mars In Aspect To Uranus – The Day The Police Came To Get Me In The Airport
Astrology in real life
I was thinking about how this Mars opposing Uranus aspect helps to take my mind of the deep trauma courtesy Pluto’s transit to my Moon. I was going to come on here and write about it. I was going to say how with the one transit working on the surface allowed me to leave the other one lie. Because Pluto Moon is a super yin transit anyway. Best to let it do what it does but then I recalled a specific point of trauma which…
Well at the time, I thought I would never tell anyone this but now, almost 4 years later, what the hell.
