Medea commits filicide
(CNN) -- A man shot and killed his four children
and the two adults who were looking after them, Texas authorities said late Wednesday (July
9). A seventh person, a 15-year-old girl, was critically wounded and taken to a
local hospital. All of the children were either biological or adopted children
of the suspect, said Sgt. Thomas Gilliland with the Harris County Sheriff's
Office. Officials didn't say what prompted the shootings. The man, identified
as 34-year-old Ron Lee Haskell, is separated from his wife, who lives out of
state, authorities said. The shooting took place in Spring, about 20 miles
north of Houston .
Here is an
extract from a previous post “Cain and
Abel in Nevada ” [1] which applies verbatim
to the incident at Spring, Texas where the chart
for the occultation of Saturn by the Moon is the sam e as that at Nevada , Missouri
since these places are on roughly the same longitude.
To understand this news we will look at an unusual
phenomena that occurred on July 8. This was the occultation of Saturn by the
Moon. An occultation is an event that occurs when one object is hidden by
another object that passes between it and the observer. In astronomy this occurs when the two objects
coincide in longitude and declination. A chart drawn for the Saturn-Moon occultation at Nevada ,Missouri where the
incident took place has it located on the MC. The Saturn-Moon forms a Yod with
Uranus in Aries and Venus in Gemini.
The Moon [17sc]
and Saturn [17sc] are in tropical Scorpio in the head of the Serpent and
in the foreleg of the Centaur. This is an area known for attempts to dominate and resistance to domination and
cowardly malevolence. The Centaur is dominated by animal impulses which may
overcome virtue, judgement and Man’s higher nature as apparently in the case
here. [2]
Venus [17ge] is conjunct stars of the mighty Orion, stern, proud Cepheus and the Bull with
it head down charging with its horns to the fore. A sudden toss of Bull’s horns
can bring upheaval and chaos. Proud, stubborn, enclosed within themselves,
these people act on their beliefs and do not listen or relate easily, often
failing to see the outcome of their actions. Harsh, warlike and ambushing they
may impose tyranny. As Orion is a hunter so
there are hunter-stalkers and guns and weapon-fanciers here. Stalking,
sneak attacks and arrogant or heedless
use of violence are issues.[3]
The third leg of the Yod is occupied by Uranus
[16ar] in Aries. Uranus is wild and
audacious, so is Aries. The combination can be volatile and explosive. A
Uranus-Saturn aspect like the quincunx here can be highly stressful since the
self-willed Uranus can feel very restricted by Saturn.
Apart from
the fact that asteroid Medea [1aq] – named after the Greek goddess who slays
her children- is on the Ascendant here we
note that Uranus[16ar] is conjunct stars of King Cepheus, his daughter
Andromeda and Cetus the Sea-Monster so that this an area where there are often
father-child issues including violence.
Also note
that the Uranus-Pluto square is highlighted by a T-square to Sun in Cancer
(family) we have an incident where there is unexpected [Uranus] reaction based
on possible ultimatums, resentments or compulsion [Pluto].
