Profiling the Shooter: Robin/Robert Westman
Minneapolis School Shooting August 2025
Robin Westman died by suicide at the scene of
the Annunciation Catholic school church shooting on August 27 2025
He had taken two lives and injured 18 -mostly children - in a clearly targeted attack according to his own planning records recovered.
Name change records from 2020 show Westman was born male named Robert Paul and born June 17 2002 - but had chosen to identify as female with the name Robin. Having experienced gender dysphoria then a trans female identity Robin later expressed regret for his transition.
Regarding the birthdate supplied:
Mercury North Node Saturn and Sun all in Gemini ( 4º-25º ) point to issues related to the dual identity that can express through Gemini who are not a literal twin: the need for an inner twin can develop - two identities…a fluid sense of self.
With Venus 2 Leo this planet of beauty and appearance fashion clothing was caught up in the Gemini mixture - semisextile the North Node-Saturn conjunction 17.8º-19º Gemini
So Saturn was caught up in the gender fluidity but Pluto 16 Sagittarius was also a big part of this picture - Saturn causing negative thinking and Pluto having an expansive urge to be free and undergo metamorphosis -as well as the potential for ideas that involve silencing or destroying people .This pattern alone gave grounds for a very uncomfortable inner reality full of unhealthy thoughts.
With Pluto tight on the 17.8º south Node Westman may have experienced a very power-obsessed past life. Then when born in 2002 Uranus and Neptune were both in Aquarius providing a strong drive towards freedom of expression individuality and rule breaking. But Saturn provided the problem. His Catholic and likely very conservative upbringing being adverse to the wild weird and undisciplined.
It seems the life chosen posed problems greater than Westman was prepared to accept. He developed intense homicidal ideas and found inspiration not only in the annihilating achievements of Adolph Hitler but also in other American school shooters.
To target the most vulnerable is by any measure a despicable crime perpetrated by those of a clearly pathological disposition.
Having attended the same school where he killed and injured innocents Westman likely harboured thoughts of revenge against fellow students who may have alienated bullied and rejected him. His hypersensitive Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Gemini indicating his reactivity to harmful words ( these planets were tightly semisextile ) — and the Saturn-Pluto opposition served as a seething inner hatred that likely too had past life origins and therefore much intensity demanding payback.
2025 transits of most significance to the outcome
The March Lunar Eclipse 24º Pisces-Virgo - tightly square natal Sun 25 Gemini applied a huge amount of psychological pressure and therefore stress.
The March Solar Eclipse 9 Aries squared both his Mars 12.8 Cancer and Chiron 7.8 Capricorn - a Cardinal mix able to express in any of the four signs -Aries Libra Cancer or Capricorn. Aries clearly took control building anger over a period of months.
On the day of the shooting Mars was transiting 12º Libra.
The transiting lunar nodes Pisces-Virgo
Began significance at 25º in May squaring natal Sun 25 Gemini
In June at 22º the nodes activated both natal Sun and natal Saturn at their midpoint
Late in July the nodes squared natal Saturn in Gemini and activated the opposition to natal Pluto.
The next major nodal transit -transit nodes square natal nodes was due late October.
Lunations and other transits in July-August ( eg Jupiter conjunct natal Mars in Cancer August 6 and Sun opposite natal Uranus in Aquarius on Aug 21 will also have contributed in terms of emotional and anarchic impulses but the main pressures outlined were definitely enough to build the intensity towards a brutal homicidal suicidal outcome.
