Events here on Earth bear the signatures of the planets. They occur when a powerful accumulation of astrological energy in various global charts breaks through the existing environmental resistance.
Mars is the planet of anger, rage, fury, hate, violence, guns and fires. He rules law enforcement officers – the National Guard, police officers and sheriffs: Those who keep law and order and guard the immediate security of the people. And when he rages there is sure to be violent defiance of the law, combat and destruction.
Uranus is the planet of unrest, protests, riots and racism. He’s a malcontent who shocks, agitates and incites dissatisfaction and a disrupter who takes direct action. He applies whatever pressure is needed and resorts to whatever violence is necessary to attain his ends. He also launches reform movements of all kinds.
When Mars and Uranus get together explosive events move like greased lightning.
George Floyd
On May 25, 2020 at 8.10pm EST George Floyd, an unarmed Minneapolis black man (Uranus) who had been taken into custody, died (house 8) after his neck was pinned down under the knee of a white police officer (Mars-house 6).
The incident was videoed and within hours was posted on social media (house 9).
On May 26 outrage erupted (Mars) and protesters (Uranus) in Minneapolis took to the streets and the four Minnesota police officers (Mars-house 6) involved were fired.
On May 27 peaceful protests in Minneapolis turned violent; fires, rioting and looting (Mars) broke out in Minnesota; cops used rubber bullets and tear gas (Neptune) to disperse crowds; and demonstrations (Uranus) spread to other cities including Los Angeles and Memphis.
On May 29 Derek Chauvin, the officer seen in the video kneeling on George Floyd’s neck, was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter; and all hell broke loose.
Decades of tension exploded as protests erupted in Minneapolis, Detroit, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago and Los Angeles. Cities burned; shops were vandalized and looted; the police used tear gas and rubber bullets to control and chaos (Neptune); and the National Guard (Mars-house 6) was deployed in Minneapolis and a state of emergency declared.
Donald Trump (Sun) sparked controversy when, in response to the violent unrest, he tweets (house 9) that ‘when the looting starts, the shooting starts.’ Twitter (house 9) flags the tweet, saying it violates its rules about ‘glorifying violence.’
On May 30 curfews (Pluto) are implemented to prevent as second night of riots in Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, Milwaukie, Philadelphia, Portland, Rochester, Salt Lake City and Seattle.
On May 31 rioting and looting continue all over America and 12 states activate the National Guard to defuse the situation; two people are shot dead at a protest in Indianapolis.
On June 1 forty cities across the US impose overnight curfews; police and National Guard troops opened fire on a group of protesters; two protesters are shot and killed during riots in Davenport, Iowa; and an independent autopsy concludes that George Floyd died of ‘asphyxiation from sustained pressure’ and that there was ‘neck and back compression that led to a lack of blood flow to the brain’ and that Floyd had died at the scene of his arrest and not at the hospital (house 12), contradicting the Hennepin, County, Minnesota coroner’s report.
Seven American charts
Race riots and violent protests occur regularly in America: Los Angeles (1965), Newark and Detroit (1967), nationwide (1968 – Martin Luther King’s assassination), Miami (1980), Los Angeles (1992), Cincinnati (2001), Ferguson (2014), Baltimore (2015), Charlotte (2016) and nationwide in 2020. And when major national events occur a number of astrological charts get involved.
In a global astrology chart the house where a planet is located defines the sector of mundane life directly involved and influenced by its special kind of energy.
