School Shootings
Tony Waterfall, astrologer
The number and severity of the
school shootings over the last few years are as alarming as they are
upsetting. The shootings are certainly a sensitive subject, especially
to those who lost children and
loved ones.
In this series, we will take an astrological look at the common
denominators between the charts of the school shooting locations, the
shooters, and the victims. This series is not meant to be sensational
but an inquiry into the astrological forces at play.
Every reasonable effort has been taken to
assure accuracy in the locations of the school sites. The birth data of
shooters and victims has been difficult to come by. Often no birth times
were available, and in
those cases 12:00 p.m. (Noon) was used to reduce error. In other cases,
there was no information at all on a victim or shooter.
If, in any of the charts presented, a
correction can be made with a source then the charts will be updated. We
urge any of you who have data to forward it to us so that we can be as
accurate as possible. A
simple example is the school site, we may have used a recorded longitude
and latitude for a city but the school was on the outskirts of the town
and thus a fine tune correction is needed. Any birth information on any
of the participants will be appreciated.
When looking at a great number of charts
(20-plus), we are not going to find a simple answer like "every shooter
was an Aries," or "every victim was a Cancer". In each case we will not
see that every victim
was affected by a "square". Astrology is a lot more subtle when it comes
to large number of charts that dramatically effect only specific people.
Why only some children dead when others lived?
The answer that I have found lies with Exactitudes. Exactitudes
are exact degree interaction between charts both of people and
locations. Exactitudes are not really anything new, but a new way
of looking at
existing astrological angular interaction. The exact degree interaction
has some leeway. This leeway is a maximum of 60 minutes of arc but as
you will see as the charts unfold that much of the interaction lies
within 15 minutes of arc.
The degree that has remained consistent with all the charts is 1
degree 19 minutes. In other words, the entrance cusp of a sign.
In the chart of a shooter or victim, the
charts have been progressed to the time and location of the shooting,
and still the 1 degree and 19 minutes has held. Perhaps as the available
data is fine tuned and more added this chain will break, but we shall
see.
Without a doubt, other exactitudes and aspects
are at play in each of the charts presented, but as we shall see
the common trigger is the entrance cusp degrees of 1 degree 19 minutes.
The time line series that is being used is as
follows:
February 19, 1997, Bethel, Arkansas, USA
October 01, 1997, Pearl, MS, USA
December 01, 1997, West Paducah, KY, USA
March 24, 1998, Jonesboro, AR, USA
April 24, 1998, Edinboro, PA, USA
April 28, 1998, Pomona, CA, USA
May 21, 1998, Springfield, OR, USA
June 15, 1998, Richmond, VA, USA
April 20, 1999, Littleton, CO, USA
April 28, 1999, Taber, Canada
May 20, 1999, Conyers, Georgia, USA
Each chart will have an explanation and sources where possible. All data
has been organized by year, with chart links on each year's overview
page.
