Profiling Nikolas Cruz Valentine's Day Mass Homicide

A mass homicide occurred on February 14 2018

 at a Florida High School

 The arrested person was 19 year old Nikolas Cruz.

He confessed upon his arrest.

The astrological profile on the day of his birth

 is referenced for relevant insights

The carnage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Fort Lauderdale Florida reflects the prevailing forces which activated potentials evident on the day Nikolas Cruz was born - September 24 1998

By 2018 both of Cruz's adoptive parents were dead -his father in 2004, his mother recently - November 2017. The family dynamics are not known.

After that recent loss, prevailing energies began to accumulate which placed Cruz under extreme psychological pressure.

Astrological Factors

• As 2017 came to a close Jupiter in Scorpio reached 16 degrees - arousing an instinctual craving for huge [Jupiter] empowerment [Scorpio] 16 degrees  began to activate an array of entangled energies present on Cruz's birthday by firstly engaging his: Sun, lunar nodes, Saturn [all at 1-2 degrees] and his Chiron by close conjunction. With Scorpio the context of power is commonly aligned with an annihilation instinct.
• As New Year 2018 began, Saturn reached 1 degree Capricorn - presenting significant "now it is time for you to grow up", "you're alone now" messages. He was disconnected from his birth parents and now totally from his adoptive parents. Cruz was born when the Sun was at 1 degree Libra so Saturn's effect was destabilising. How Cruz interpreted these kinds of thoughts is explained by the role played by Neptune [exact alignment with Mercury] Cruz had strong capacity for living life through fantasy delusion, imagination, unmodified by reality.
• Jupiter in Scorpio being a strong general indicator of mass death events as well as mass empowerment [#MeToo movement] during this cycle [Oct 2017-Nov2018] is highly significant in this context as it progressed from 17 degrees at New Year [activating Cruz's 17 degree Chiron [key vulnerability] in Scorpio [deeply wounded throughout his life to date by a sense of disempowerment] By end of January strengthened by the total lunar eclipse [an amplifying force] Jupiter at 21 Scorpio now activated Cruz's Venus at 21 Virgo, Mars at 21 Leo, Jupiter at 22 Pisces setting off the inherent forces he possessed to take action [Mars] in a very dramatic way [Leo] in a large [Jupiter] social [Venus] context.
• Pluto in Sagittarius at his birthday has options including a transformational philosophy or a belief in annihilation. Positioned at 6 degrees this signal was embedded at birth for Cruz: Pluto was entangled with the tight grouping of Venus, Mars and Jupiter [6 degrees and 21 degrees resonate using 24th harmonic analysis]
• Pluto in transit from New Year 2018 covered less than 2 degrees of movement -from almost 19 degrees to just over 20 degrees by February 14. With Jupiter at 22 degrees by that date the middle point of 21 was being activated from 2 sides, a combining of two of the most potent cosmic forces in slow transit acting on birth Pluto, Venus, Mars, Jupiter. This amount of pressure was not containable within someone so damaged.

The birth data below provides prevailing energies evident on the date of Cruz's birth. This alone is used in the above analysis and though some aspects are inaccessible due to no time or location data, the birthday information often spells out the standout features of a personality.

Though born under a Libran sun - more known for peace- all sign energies belong to a quartet and can flow between the personality aspects of their grouping -especially the opposing sign. Belonging to Libra Aries Cancer Capricorn with Aries opposite Libra allowed Cruz to project himself strongly towards the aggressive Aries-Mars option especially with the intense and attention-seeking Mars in Leo he possesses.

This analysis is an explanation. Not a defence. When powerful forces combine and collide in nature as in humans some degree of destruction is the likely outcome. Humans though have the opportunity to at some point develop regulating mechanisms.

It is easily detectable using methodology such as this to identify the regularity of certain people being born under such destructive prevailing forces and it is only a matter of time before activating forces in transit cause birth potentials to escape the confines of the mind and be expressed outwardly - a combination of activators is typically involved in high profile events.

Without a self managing capacity a human being is capable of the force of a hurricane because we equally derive our energy from the same galactic environment.

Fortunately most of us are blessed to have access to those forces which can deliver more goodness than harm.

Cruz's reported birthdate 24 September 1998

Updates

February 22 2018

On February 17 students organised a response to the massacre at their Stoneman Douglas School, Fort Lauderdale. Fronted by Emma Gonzales [18],  this was a sign of a new movement #NeverAgain and the intention to march in protest [March 24 March for Our Lives]

High profile Americans including Oprah, the Clooneys, Steven Spielberg have immediately contributed to the funding of this new movement.

Finding Liberation - Saturn Neptune 2015-2016

Finding liberation through the integration of two principles Saturn and Neptune is a key process on offer in the period 2015-2016
We are bathed in the cosmic soup, an ever-changing combination of vibratory energies which alter us on every level. Being able to mentally comprehend the meaning of any prevailing influence gives us opportunities to heal and develop our personal expression.

The current Saturn-Neptune cycle began in 1989. 2015-2016 sees these planets at the final phase of the cycle.

Look back to 1989 for significant life experiences which signify the qualities of Saturn and Neptune in your own life.
Further stages in the resolution of this dynamic pair occurred in 1998 and 2006 -so refer to these periods also.

a controlled release of water from a dam

To identify the way Saturn energy is different from Neptune energy - 

Saturn is the dam. Neptune is the water being contained
Saturn is structure, form, states of separation and protection
Neptune is formless, fluid, spirit energy, no boundaries, total connectedness, oneness
Saturn is the structured Earthly life
Neptune is the Spiritual Journey
Saturn expects commitment, discipline, stability
Neptune delivers compassion, service, unconditional love

Liberation comes from being able to resolve the polarity between these two very different energies within each of us.
Some people will identify as being more a Saturn personality. Others will see themselves as more Neptune.

But both are incomplete. Both require the integration of other energies to be resolved.
The Saturn-Neptune cycle marks a period in everyone's life when the time is right to find that balance.
In this end phase of the current Saturn-Neptune cycle, Saturn is in Sagittarius and Neptune is in Pisces
In 2016 Saturn creates challenges for Sagittarians born in the first week of December any year [also Pisces, Gemini, Virgo - the other mutable signs - born first week of March, June and September]
read the post on mutable signs of the mind
The potentials of Saturn in Sagittarius range from supreme achievement to extreme failure - and can occur in the realms of recreational or sporting activity, advanced education or study, overseas travel, or in the development of a mature, wise or profound spiritual framework for a person's place in the world.

In 2016 Neptune in Pisces is most strongly resonant for those born in the first week of March any year [but also very relevant for the other mutable signs as noted above]
Neptune plus Pisces is a double whammy situation because Neptune is the planetary force that carries the energy of Pisces [in the total time frame 2012-2025]
This combination enables Pisces in particular, but also its mutable sign team-mates, to become much more spiritualised - initially evidenced by becoming much softer, more sensitised, including more allergic and food sensitivity issues, ultimately more compassionate, humanitarian and sensing the connectednesss of all that exists.

The blending of Saturn and Neptune in 2016
For each individual the outcomes depend on personal potentials evident at birth and seen in the personal birth energy astrological picture - this determines which emphasis will dominate - whether it is time for Saturn to have more influence over the unfolding personality, or for Neptune.
Some of those people identified as being in the most influenced group will have extremely positive personal development in 2016 -though not achieved without hard personal growth work. Others who are not at the level for that will experience varying degrees of crisis, pain, tragedy, loss - all giving the opportunity to grow - but may not identify their gains and may fail to recognise the significance of a change in thought, philosophy, belief or faith which can initiate a new level of personal growth.
In other words, the reality of the situation as always is that different people will benefit in different ways and to different degrees as a result of their life challenges regarding integrating Saturn and Neptune for self development in 2016.

water has the capacity to destroy everything in its path

Questions that can arise include
How can I function in the everyday world [Saturn] and incorporate my sense of being a spirit in a body ?[Neptune] 

How can I connect with people [Neptune] and still keep my boundaries ? [Saturn] 

What sort of lifestyle [Saturn] will allow me to show my compassion and spiritual consciousness ? [Neptune]  

How much structure [Saturn] do I need for my sense of security - versus being able to flow freely ? [Neptune] 

How can I put into practice my beliefs about humanity, goodness, kindness, tolerance and the spiritual realms of existence [Neptune] while still needing to meet practical needs for work, income, shelter, food ? [Saturn]

How much escapism, fantasy, addictive behaviour, avoidance can my life sustain [Neptune] if I want to achieve stability in my personal and professional lifestyle ? [Saturn] 

How much separation, self protection, blocking, controlling can I maintain [Saturn] if I truly want to feel spiritually connected to humanity and to relate deeply to others ? [Neptune] 

How much serious, pragmatic, security-based thought is needed in making decisions [Saturn] versus the input from imaginative, idealistic dreams? [Neptune] 

the breach of a dam occurs when one force overcomes another

Each of us is urged by these planetary vibrations to reconfigure our thought processes, our decisions, our choices to find a form of liberation from the negatives that arise when any one of the energies is expressing too extremely in your life - too much Saturn, or too much Neptune.

some Saturn versus Neptune polarities that need to be integrated as a balance of the two extremes

Saturnian people are at risk of being too shut off, too blocked, too insecure despite extreme self protective measures because separation is not the pathway to the true state of connection.
The way through these negative survival choices is to identify the essential potential of Saturnian people as mentors, guides and nurturers of others - both in parental and professional roles. Truly accepting this type of adult societal position allows Saturnian people to recognise their true worth.

Neptunian people are at risk of being too sensitive to the harsh realities of practical existence -and so seek many forms of addictive escape through substances or behaviours which create an alternate world or an intoxicated or drugged state of mind. 
The way through these negative survival choices is to use the most positive Neptunian qualities of compassion, service to others, everyday kindness to establish a spiritual connection to humanity and all sentient beings.

when a container holds a liquid Saturn is working with Neptune in balance

If you are too rigid, too uptight, too serious, too fearful, too security conscious, too tied up with work, career, ambition or commitments -your Saturn needs to be chilled out with some of Neptune's positive, uplifting qualities.

If you are too loose, too undisciplined, too irresponsible, too 
uncommitted to humanity or society - your Neptune is needing some Saturnian structure, focus and sense of contribution to the everyday world.

when humanity places structures in the way of natural cyclic processes, Saturn falls to Neptune

In confronting the need to rebalance these two principles many will be aware of difficult or crisis situations where the two polar energies of Saturn-Neptune are contrasted:
The facts versus the lies
Reality versus fantasy/deceit/delusion/fiction/imagination
Pragmatism versus idealism
Resistance versus going with the flow
But the process really is about a merging of the best of both.

The resolution of Saturn-Neptune in general society would express as compassionate governments, and philanthropic corporates - organisations and businesses with a humanity-based agenda instead of the soul destroying extreme business and profit models which have created such wealth disparity and income equality across the world.

Is is no surprise that issues of homelessness, the cost of real estate, poverty are some of the related social issues very much emphasised in this Saturn-Neptune cycle.

The current cycle began in 1989 with 3 Saturn-Neptune conjunctions in Capricorn - from 10-12 degrees.

The next cycle begins in 2026 at virtually 1 degree Aries

Between 2016-2026 is a decade during which humanity needs to resolve the societal and personal issues surrounding negative Saturn, negative Neptune and how to integrate these two energies in their finest expressions.
The new cycle in Aries from 2026 will give rise to much consideration about the development of inner personal strength, a well structured sense of self, as well as questions about the nature of courage and of strength; questions/confusion about personal identity "who am I ?", loss of self, [the end of the "selfie"? ], the promotion of greater personal spiritual consciousness, compassion, kindness, humanitarianism.
