Eric Francis has posted the noon birth chart of Adam Lanza, the twenty year old who gunned
down twenty-six people last week, and there, at the November 13, 2012 solar
eclipse degree of 21°57 Scorpio
is Adam's natal Pluto at 22°6
Scorpio. As the late Robert Blaschke has said: solar eclipses are malefic. The
eclipse stimulated Adam’s Pluto (natally trine Mars and sextile a partile
conjunction of Uranus and Neptune), and last week when transiting Mars cast a
sextile to the eclipse degree and the transiting North Node, he grabbed his
weapons. In addition, transiting Uranus was conjunct natal Mercury at the North
Bending of the natal nodes, trine transiting Mercury, when something in his
brain, snapped. Given the involvement of transiting Neptune, psychotropic drugs
may have been involved.

It is
important to remember that the speed of the nodes is extremely variable. Their
movement slows as an eclipse approaches and they can remain in a single degree
for two months. For example, at the November 13th eclipse, the
transiting North Node was at 26°3
Scorpio, and it stood at this degree throughout October and November. In early
December, the node entered 25°
degrees, and by January it will be at 24°.
By then it will have picked up speed and will cover 8° by April. At this time, it will slow again in advance
of the May 10, 2013 solar eclipse at 19°
Taurus. Because of this variable speed, any planet near an eclipse degree can
be doubly activated. The planet is first thrown into crisis by the eclipse, and
then stimulated for a prolonged length of time by the transiting node. For
Adam, with the transiting North Node conjoined (3° degrees) his eclipse-activated natal Pluto,
what he expressed outwardly was the archetypal energy of the dark planet.
What a sad statement of our society
that this troubled twenty year-old youth felt so disconnected from others that
this was his answer to whatever was disturbing him. If Pluto symbolizes the
personal unconscious, that part of our psyche that is irrational, cruel,
heartless, resentful, and raging, which ‘normal’ people manage to lock up and safely
contain, well his materialized and broke free last Friday morning. The carnage
was from Pluto, unleashed in the outer world.
