Pakistan mourns after Peshawar school massacre

The Pakistani city of Peshawar is burying its dead after a Taliban attack at a school killed at least 132 children and nine staff. Mourners crowded around coffins bedecked with flowers, while other families waited at hospitals for news. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif declared three days of mourning and Pakistan's army struck at militants in the region. Mr Sharif also convened a meeting of all parliamentary parties in Peshawar to discuss the response to the attack. The meeting on Wednesday was called to show that the whole nation stood against extremism, Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid told reporters. World leaders voiced disgust at the Taliban's deadliest attack to date, which even its Afghan allies disowned. BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-30507836

Nicholas Campion,  in his "Book of World Horoscopes," gives the following data for the mundane horoscope based on the proclamation of the Republic of Pakistan:  Mar. 23, 1956; 07.05. AM INT (-05.30); Karachi. Notice a stellium of planets in Leo in the 5^th house related to children. The current progressed solar arc Sun [29ta] is square Zeus [29le] which is conjunct Pluto as part of the stellium.  For Pluto-Zeus energies, Martha Wescott gives us the following key phrase:

Pluto-Zeus: Events in connection with weapons of mass destruction – and the use of weaponry to dominate, threaten or confront others.

Notice that radix Saturn as also transiting Saturn [29sc] are in the mundane 8^th house of death. Transit Saturn has triggered the  Sun-Pluto-Zeus square bringing about the death of so many children.

In addition, the sixth out of seven Uranus-Pluto Square culminated on December 15 just after the Last Quarter Moon falling in exact aspect to the Ascendant-Descendant axis of Pakistan’s chart (12 Aries-Libra). This square occurs as Uranus stations to complete its retrograde on December 21. About this square Nick Fiorenza writes:

Pluto's role in the squares (occurring from 2012 through 2015) is both a deprogrammer and revealer. Its passage through sidereal Sagittarius dismantles false beliefs and false gods that have been covering an underlying greater truth, a truth leading us to awaken to a greater universal awareness. Uranus impels conscious and deliberate radical creative action that breaks us away from the conformity of living in acquiescence to those false beliefs and false gods—that to which we give our power.

Pluto now conjoins Nunki of Sagittarius. Sigma (σ) Sagittarius, Nunki, is a star on the vane of the arrow in the archer's hand.  When the zeal of Sagittarius is carried too far we have the religious fanatic and the Archer then becomes the religious warrior (much like the Taliban here).

Uranus is conjunct the star Alpheratz, alpha (α) Andromeda in the constellation of the chained Princess (a child whose father King Cepheus has turned his face away from her plight). Therefore, Alpheratz can  express as being caught in the power plays created by the arrogance or denials of others who have created the problems in the first place. This is an obvious reference to the plight of the murdered children. Here those in  authority are in denial.
