Texas Church Shooting

Lupus

the Wolf

At least eight members of the same family were among the 26 people killed Sunday when a man armed with a rifle burst into the sanctuary of a church in Texas and began firing. The massacre left about 20 others wounded in the small town of Sutherland Springs, located about 30 miles east of San Antonio.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called the slaughter "the largest mass shooting" in the state's history and ordered flags across the state to fly at half-staff Monday.  http://edition.cnn.com/2017/11/06/us/texas-church-shooting/index.html

The Sun’s entry into cardinal signs are of great importance in mundane astrology. But of all  cardinal ingresses, the Capricorn Ingress  (Capsolar) is considered the master chart of the year. Astrologers have noticed that important events occur the when the angles of the Capsolar move over important configurations.

Shown here is the Capricorn Ingress chart for San Antonio, Texas.  Our attention is drawn to two important features. First a complex configuration containing Mars-Pluto-Uranus-Jupiter-TNP Zeus makes hard aspects to the nodal axis aligned with the meridian.  For Mars-Pluto-Uranus, Ebertin gives us:

Mars-Pluto-Uranus: Cruelty, violence, brutality. Sudden disasters and calamities of great consequence.

Jupiter in the mix and Mars in Pisces, sign of Jupiter, reinforce violence based on religious motives.

Secondly, for the stars on the Ascendant [24sc], Diana Rosenberg [1] writes:

Wild-Beast Lupus combines with Ophiuchus’ huge Serpent and stars of Draco, the Dragon. Given their proximity to these wild sky-creatures, Libra’s scales-of-the-law have a hard time keeping order and balance, and sometimes they lose the struggle, reverting to their ancient role as the extended claws of the Scorpion: murderers, mass killers and criminals are found under these stars (Lupus was “The Beast of Death”.

Finally, if we progress the ingress chart to Nov.5, we find the progressed IC conjoins Pluto triggering the complex Mars-Pluto-Uranus-Jupiter-TNP Zeus configuration.
