Here in the USA it seems we are all reeling from the recent political violence in Arizona. While the shooter, Jared Lee Loughner left behind some youtube videos that pick up on some tropes generally associated with right wing politics his own political thinking is not very clear, and apparently neither are the rest of his thoughts.
A lot of people are connecting this shooting to conservative political imagery – rifle sights targeting Democratic congressional seats, etc. As with most political shockers different people are loudly putting out different analyses. My own astro-analysis starts with four key charts and adds a fifth that came in late.

What really jumps out are two birthdates and the event on the 8th of the month and one on the 10th, so in all four charts the Sun is at 17-19 degrees, and all earth (the event and the shooter) or air (the victims). Early Cardinal degrees also seem active in the three birth charts anticipating the Pluto-Uranus square.
Giffords 4 Aries Mars
Giffords 4 Libra Uranus
Shooting 5 Capricorn Pluto
Roll 5 Aries Eris
Laughner 6 Cancer Chiron
Loughner 7 Capricorn Neptune
Loughner 9 Aries Mars
Giffords 9 Aries Chiron
7-9 Cardinal are degrees that June Crane has linked to earthquakes and I see that consistently in SF’s big quakes. We may be looking at a tectonic shift in politics here. We may hope for a retreat to sanity. I’ve been noticing aspects to Eris for this year suggesting further polarization, people will be knocked off the fence. The best I can hope for with that would be “moderates” saying that we’ve had enough of the proto-fascist screaming and childish outbursts of the Tea Party movement, realizing that “being nice” only allows them more room, that the hateful language and violent imagery should not be tolerated. Gifford is actually a very conservative/libertarian sort, an ex-Republican and current “blue dog” Democrat; strongly pro-military and a supporter of “gun rights,” but she is also pro-choice and voted for Obama’s health care bill. She is no Malcolm X or Harvey Milk. In recent decades she would have been considered a moderate conservative, and only now, with the recent slide to the right could she be called a “liberal.” If such a moderate is a target for political crazies who is safe?
Much has been made of Sarah Palin’s incendiary language and graphics, and Sharon Angle’s call for “second amendment solutions.” (Obvious to Americans, this refers to our Constitution’s vaguely/confusingly written “right to bear arms.”) I don’t see any astrological connection to Sarah Palin (Feb. 11, 1964, 4:40 PM PST, Sand Point, Idaho) but Sharon Angle (July 26, 1949, Klamath Falls, Oregon, time unknown) has Mars and Uranus at 2 Cancer and Eris at 7 Aries.
Those outer planets and Mars at the cardinal points are mostly catalytic and too often violent, but they can be purgative and warn of horrors, offering the chance to descend into them or to create bold new alternatives. With Chiron connecting here in both Loughner’s and Giffords’ charts we can hope that this crisis will be the scarring/healing turning point that America so badly needs. At the very least it is a warning of where the currents have been leading and an alarm to turn away from the languages and images of gunmanship and other violence.
I don’t work with declinations much, but included those in my sorting process. There the interesting part was that in the event chart the North Node was at 23s24 just barely in bounds. The shooter has Uranus OOB, the apparent target has Venus and Mars OOB and the most prominent of the murdered has Pluto OOB. With Venus and Mars OOB, not especially relevant here, but Giffords’ husband is an astronaut!

Christina Taylor Greene, the nine-year-old girl killed in the shooting adds another fascinating wrinkle. She was born in Maryland on Sept. 11, 2001 at 12:50 PM EDT, just a few hours after the attack on the World Trade Center. Her exact birth place is unknown, but Maryland is a smallish state. The AC could conceivably be anything from 28:40 Scorpio to 2:49 Sagittarius. Most of Maryland, including both of its major population centers – Baltimore and the Washington DC suburbs, are well with in the Saj rising range. I’m using a Baltimore chart. She was athletic, curious about the world, optimistic, outgoing, ran for student council, so the Saj rising at least seems pretty safe.
Her North Node at 3 Cancer and Jupiter at 11 Cancer are a bit outside, but frame the critical Cardinal degrees and both are in her 8th house. Her sun at 19 Virgo lines up closely with the four suns in the other charts I just presented. In the 10th house her Sun is closely semi-sextile Venus and quincunx Eris ,and square to Pluto in Saj in her 1H. Those three planets are all in a grand trine. Other grand trines in her chart have a close Saturn in Gemini 7H and Mercury in Libra 11H both trining Uranus and Neptune (NOT in conjunction!) in her 3H. These air trines suggest a political messenger, and the other aspects on top of the very symbolic birthtime seem to hint at a fated sacrificial princess. Two days earlier I would have seen tremendous potential in this girl. The hopes and dreams she carried may yet burn bright.
