Timeline and Analysis of a Mass Killer

On 15 March 2019 BRENTON HARRISON TARRANT became part of the New Zealand historical record.

He was captured by Police that day in Christchurch. Tarrant had massacred 51 worshippers and injured a further 89 - 40 injured by gunfire at two Muslim mosques. His hostility was directed at a mainly male gathering.

Born in Australia Tarrant is believed to have chosen New Zealand on account of easy entry and ease of access to firearms and an arms licence.

Understanding his formative experiences does not in any way excuse the chosen behaviour -they simply assist in explaining them.

While much of Tarrant’s history is revealed through media and official reports no mainstream method can capture the fine detection of influences that led Tarrant to March 2019 - but astrological analysis can.

Born 27 October 1990 Tarrant’s natal array that can be analysed reveals significant clusters in the survivalist Fixed signs and the existential Cardinal signs

Data has been rounded for convenience and tight orbs applied

Fixed factors

Venus-Sun-Mercury in the range 2-6.5 Scorpio

Nodes Aquarius-Leo 2.5º

Moon early Aquarius - time not available to specify degree

Jupiter 12 Leo

Pluto 17 Scorpio

Cardinal factors

Uranus 6 Capricorn

Neptune 12 Capricorn

Saturn 19.6 Capricorn

Uranus-Neptune midpoint 9 Capricorn

Uranus-Saturn midpoint 12.5 Capricorn = Neptune

Neptune-Saturn midpoint 15.5 Capricorn

Chiron 27 Cancer

Tarrant has only one Mutable factor - this describes a mind and mental processing style:

Mars retrograde 14 Gemini

Tarrant’s dramatic life and fate are all captured in these fundamental imprints at his birth in 1990:

Mars retrograde in Gemini describes

A mind very active on the inner level - processing a lot of information that would empower him: Mars connects to Jupiter and  these planets both connect to Pluto. Gemini indicates a Mutable Mars that is comparatively weak in terms of a masculine sense of self but when bolstered by Jupiter and Pluto the inner Mars can find strength power and fame/infamy/success through external means. For Tarrant this was weaponry testosterone and steroids.

Chiron in Cancer points to

experiences within the family and home - including the reported impact of his parent's separation - that delivered significant emotional trauma. Chiron 29 Cancer is angled semisquare his fragile Mars 14 Gemini.

His Aquarian Moon carrying Chiron's Cancer themes was able to create a dispassionate blank introverted and clinical personality. 

1990 Pre-birth Eclipses

July and August 1990 eclipses gave prominence to his Chiron [solar eclipse] and Jupiter [lunar eclipse] While Jupiter in Leo can express as a lot of love and warmth a sunny joyful personality - the effect of Scorpio and Aquarian factors drained away that option: instead of love the Jupiter in Leo energy merged with Pluto in Scorpio to create the profile of a mass murderer with narcissistic sociopathic traits.

1991 Age 9 months

Baby Brenton was imprinted significantly with his killer drive in July 1991 when transit Jupiter and transit Pluto reached exact 90º square at 17.5º Leo-Scorpio. His natal Pluto at 17 Scorpio was directly triggered on a deep level by something in his infant world.

Two eclipses of July 1991 added further imprints: the 19 Cancer total solar eclipse opposite his natal Saturn 19 Capricorn; The 3 Aquarius lunar eclipse square his natal Venus and Sun at 2º-3º Scorpio.

Whatever happened within the family or home was highly relevant to the development of his personality and behaviour:

Abuse of power. Paternal energy. Relating dynamics. All these played out in his world in July 1991 with lasting effects. The parental relationship did not endure past his young childhood. They separated at an unconfirmed period when he was 7 -10 years old -possibly beginning under the Uranus transit of early Aquarius squaring his Venus-Sun early Scorpio in 1996 and then the Neptune early transit of Aquarius 1999-2000

Biographical and evidential material used below was sourced from the referenced Royal Commission of NZ Report

2010 Father’s suicide

In April 2010 Tarrant’s father stricken already by a serious illness notified 19 year old Brenton that he was committing suicide. The loss of his father was captured in the transit north Node 15.5 Capricorn - exact on his natal  Neptune-Saturn midpoint 15.5 Capricorn and therefore signifies a life-changing event around loss and grief -constituting an existential trauma. By this time Tarrant had already had years since early teens embedded in online chat forums as well as the gaming world. His support system did not exist in the everyday world. His vulnerability to online influences was already set in place.

2010-2013

During this period Jupiter in Aries  Saturn in Libra Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn all made contact at particular points in time with his Uranus 6 Capricorn. The loss of his father was a further diminishment of his sense of manhood and those transiting influences would have severely impacted his ability to relate in a healthy way.

2014-2016

Within this period Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn made contact with his Neptune in Capricorn. This may signify the development of aggressive or revenge drives fuelled by online/gaming scenarios or online discussions - to compensate for the death of his father.

Saturn reaching 14 Sagittarius in 2026 impacted his fragile retrograde Mars 14 Gemini. Reports of his access to “far right extremism say this began in 2014.

2017-2019

Transit Neptune reached 14 Pisces - again a challenge to his Mars. It is likely that Neptune’s influence in gaming fantasy and delusion led him to panic about his weakened inner state and resort to the reported abuse of steroids and testosterone -along with a sustained body-building programme and the purchase of multiple high grade firearms -most of which were purchased in December 2017.

In March-May 2017 Pluto came very close to natal Saturn 19.5 Capricorn and was exact conjunct in January 2018

Tarrant had arrived in Auckland in August 2017. His plan had already been formulated within 2 years in advance of enactment. Getting the firearms the licence a vehicle a rental home in Dunedin and every accessory needed - as well as several trips overseas to eastern Europe — posed no financial impediment. He had inherited a large sum from his father.

Uranus since 2017 at 27-29 Aries had pressured his natal Chiron 27 Cancer and reached a square to his prenatal total solar eclipse 29 Cancer. It is likely that the childhood and suppressed family trauma was triggered right up to his enacted attack. Online ideology around Knights Templar and the era of the Crusades has been referenced in seeing the link to his chosen homicidal mission against Muslim domination.

The Massacre March 2019

Effectively on March 15 2019 Tarrant was at his Saturn Return. 

This milestone for everyone poses a time of choosing paths - follow an adult route or remain in a state of delayed development until the next choice point around the mid 30s. For Tarrant this is April 2027.

He was in his 29th year in 2019 and Saturn on the date of the massacre was 18’50 Capricorn within a whisker of his 19’40 natal Saturn: he experienced the exact return within a prison cell. 

Clearly he had not functioned as an adult in creating and enacting his plan.

Chiron was 0º Aries sesquisquare his natal Jupiter 14 Leo - his freedom sacrificed to his violent impulses. Uranus was 0º Taurus and soon to oppose his Venus-Sun -a process underway since 2018 : sudden changes in his power influence and connections - right up -boosted by indulgence in all his lethal devices and chemical fuel - then right down - all taken away. His no parole life sentence in New Zealand was the first on record.

Brenton Tarrant made choices consistent with the imprints held within his subconscious and related to the personality disorder that he evolved as a survival mechanism.

We don’t enter life with a clean slate: our ancestral imprints are also carried through the parental lineage.

Past life experiences distinct from bloodline lineage are a further source of imprints that have been documented as significantly influential on life choices and behaviours.

Terror Erupts in Barcelona

The toll of fatalities plus injuries exceeds one hundred in the aftermath of terror-driven attacks in central Barcelona Spain, commencing around 4.50pm local time.

BBC coverage shows the route of the main attack, where a van driven at speed deliberately targeted pedestrians.
A violent and fatal explosion at a house 200kms south of Barcelona on Wednesday evening is believed to be been a related incident.
What is shown by astro-analysis is that as well as a known trigger for extreme behaviour being in effect: from 8am-5pm the time zone of Spain was affected by a solar generated geomagnetic enhancement caused by the particle wind from a solar coronal hole. Such strong increases in magnetic energy have been shown repeatedly to tip people over the edge, inciting to extreme behaviour. 

This extra trigger is in addition to the waxing or building phase of the total solar eclipse due to reach exactitude on Monday 21st August.
This eclipse [New Moon] sun-moon conjunction in Leo and in connection with Uranus in Aries carries a signature of dramatic violence.
Leo is the sign related to solar or sun energy and so activity generated by the sun is extra-strengthened in the time frame of sun in Leo [2017 = July 23-Aug23] giving a dramatic quality to global news
The Sun also made an exact conjunction to the lunar north node late on August 16 [Universal time]
Sun to node conjunctions occur along with significant events with implications for the mass of humanity.
Events* in Spain in addition to the domestic terror attack in Charlottesville US [analysis here ] may fulfil the potentials inherent in this potent eclipse -or there still could be more on offer during eclipse week as Venus and Mars both move into positions that involve their energies in the mix with Uranus and the north node, respectively in the period August 24-28.

Terrorism is designed to generate terror. Most of us will continue to pursue our daily lives but care, precaution and alertness are often necessary habits to develop in those contexts and locations most vulnerable to such merciless acts.

Pluto, boss of Scorpio, on the rampage

Every year for 3 weeks in November, 

Pluto is the boss

 

2015 sees Pluto with a Capricorn flavour -both Plutonians and Capricornians are control freaks at their worst -most comfortable when dominating or managing the behaviour of others, to their standards.

Pluto though is a very extreme version when taking domination to the maximum - torture, homicide, violation.

Ideally Pluto in Capricorn enables Scorpio types and Pluto responders to learn self management as well as the supportive guidance of others and a policy of benevolent support.

In societal terms Capricorn reflects the energy of governments and the banking system. 

Both of these institutions have undergone intense transformational experiences in places across the globe during the Pluto in Capricorn period since 2008, assisted by the role of Uranus in overturning systems, many societies have shifted towards austerity measures [whilst the elite enjoy ever more stratospheric benefits, perks and salaries]

We have only just witnessed the start of real austerity in this century. Much more radical change is on offer -and detailed extensively on this blog, accessible via keyword search.

Scorpio is the zodiac sign that carries Pluto's deep and often dark themes - power -its use and misuse, all matters concerning death and transformational events, the minefield surrounding sex and reproduction. 

update Nov 11-12 -Reported globally: NZ Prime Minister in widespread condemnation for using the issue of rape as a political tool. 

At the highest level, Scorpios and those influenced strongly by Pluto are capable of a major evolutionary journey in one lifetime, regularly developing their inner strength and extending their insights. 
Scorpios operating at their peak have immense healing ability, being capable of harnessing transformational energy for the benefit of others.
The metaphysical or energy realm existing beyond the physical is the level of perception that advanced Scorpios can tap into and utilise. In the simplest of terms, many have obvious psychic or pre-cognitive abilities.

Those Scorpios who linger in their attachment to power over others, manipulation, domination and cruelty are the ones to avoid. 

Having power over the lives of others is a responsibility few manage with humility so it comes as no surprise that when Scorpio energy is expressed extremely negatively lives are snuffed out, bodies are violated, people are tortured, enslaved, subjected to extreme mind control. Possessiveness and jealousy are classic Scorpio traits.

In November 2015
the Scorpio Sun-Moon conjunction [New Moon] connects with the position of Uranus, which brings sudden violent or sudden accident forces with likely fatal consequences to those closely resonating with that prevailing pattern [indicated in a personal birth chart].
This represents a riskier than usual period from November 8-14 as Pluto also brings to the fore thoughts of domination and control, along with thoughts of a wounding or damaging nature.
Pluto's close, but not exact angle to Uranus [Pluto in Capricorn-Uranus in Aries square at 4 degrees separation] evokes extreme destructive, violent and revolutionary forces
In total, not a pleasant combination.
Update Nov 14
Terror in Paris. Dozens slain in multiple coordinated attacks on Friday Nov 13 beginning around 9.45pm -CNN report
The atrocities committed have many of the hallmarks of a Plutonic rampage.
Also read extended post Slaughter in Paris November 2015

Venus and Mars activating the lunar nodes imply karmic male-female interactions which set the scene for some nasty outcomes. 
Be careful who you interact with in the stated period.
In addition collective events of a serious nature involving masses of people are within the range of possibilities

update November 21 2015
It comes as no surprise that a significant milestone has been reached in the West's response to Jihadism following the attacks in Parisian public places on November 13. French President Hollande promptly declared France to be at war with Islamic fundamentalists

APRIL 2015 Planet Earth astrology

Latest update : Extreme weather, extreme punishment, extreme force plus Mass fatalities in Nepal quake -scroll to updates starting April 25
The energy forecast for planet earth in April 2015 is a perpetuation and possible amplification of primal forces that erupted in the context of the March 2015 total solar eclipse on March 20.
To recap on globally significant events -documented originally in March report bearing the primal signature:
March saw:

•  the Tunisia terrorist attack reported on March 18  =human extremism

• A range of earthquakes over M6 - none ended up being in threatening locations
• extreme weather in diverse locations including torrential flooding in Kashmir, Peru & Chile; destructivecyclone or typhoon events
• human extremism involving the destruction of Flight 9525 and death of 150 persons including pilot Andreas Lubitz, deemed accountable - analysis

•  electromagnetic extreme -Earth experienced its most powerful magnetic storm in a decade 

April 2015 total Lunar Eclipse, brief, though widely visible  has the potential to perpetuate themes as outlined above.

Each location in the world has its site specific layout but identical inner contents.

This London chart is quite emphasised related to eclipse effects -will something extreme unfold there in the timeframe till the next lunar eclipse? [September 2015]

Ample drama is on offer with Jupiter in Leo in the birth zone -first house of the chart -and linked to the sun-moon and lunar nodal axes.

The lunar nodes always indicate collectively significant issues or events.

Uranus and Pluto with their primal eruptive combined signature are also tightly linked in.

The mathematics are highly relevant denoted often by a clustering of energies around a particular tight range of degrees.

A domino effect occurs with this lineup, making it a potent mix .

Ultimately the zodiac signs are irrelevant in terms of activation. It is the mathematical degree positions and angles that do the work

Lunar nodes at 10

Jupiter at 12

Sun and Moon at 14

Pluto at 15

Uranus at 16

From 10-16 = 6 degree range so midway is 3 degrees so 13 degrees will trigger the whole lot.

Jupiter is the planet positioned to keep the pressure up even into June - it will be reach 19 degrees by then and so will Uranus.

Also

April 4-5 stands out with Moon in Libra passing through the positions linked to Uranus and Pluto [updates: al qaeda crisis in Yemen;
 April 4 Walter Scott shot dead by Policeman Michael Slager in Charleston US]**
April 5-6 - Pluto and then Uranus link to the Sun- increasing potentials for accidents, destruction, death [ update April 7 power outage Wash DC]*

April 11-12 stands out with Moon in Capricorn triggering various eclipse elements.

April 17-18 stands out as a period when:

Aries aggressive energy elevated being New Moon

Mars links to Jupiter adding fuel, aggravation

Moon in Aries triggers eclipse Aries -Libra factors + Uranus, Pluto

[update: terrorist plot re ANZAC war commem. event foiled in Melbourne Australia as hotspots in Northern continents continue to erupt. See timeline below***]

Personal Effects
Aries-Libra is always about Self and Other - finding the balance between being an individual and being in partnership; being able to be independent vs dependent.
Aries is war energy. Libra is peace energy.
Aries is me, myself I.
Libra is partner focussed.
Think about where you are operating too much and where too little.
Upheavals and terminations in partnerships with lots of drama are inevitable surrounding the energy of this eclipse due to the involvement of Uranus and Pluto
The worse case scenario is not the end of a marriage or relationship and a messy settlement, but a power struggle with violent and fatal consequences.
This is a time for cautious, self protective moves if you see that a situation has to change.

As always -the energy is earthed in particular people and in particular locations. 
Your personal experience is a matter of degrees of separation from the issue[s] being triggered by prevailing energies.
Global resonance occurs however when events occur with mass impact.
Eclipse energies can be retriggered many times within the six month period of potential effect.
It is common to see significant eclipse effects arise before the date of exactitude
eg April 2 2015 
Al-Shabaab kill 147 in attack on Kenyan university  [Garissa University College]
*April 7 Washington DC Power Outage affects White House.
No terrorism link but any widespread outage of this kind is a cause for concern. This event was apparently
"caused by a small explosion and fire at a power substation in southern Maryland, according to local and U.S. officials."[ Uranus [electricity] in Aries [fire] in tight conjunct the Sun at 17 Aries and at right angle to Pluto [explosive energy] on Tues April 7]

**April 4 Black man Walter Scott, shot dead from a volley of 8 bullets discharged by Charleston US Policeman Michael Slager, reignites the racial tension between US Police and the Black community.
This tragedy may be the one to turn the tide against Police due to the killing having been filmed by an onlooker with the implication that the officer in addition to the shooting then attempted to fabricate evidence in his favour. The initial encounter was reported as due to a broken tail light. Officer Slager then claimed a tussle over a taser gun. Video suggests Slager placed the taser next to Scott as he lay dying.
This event is a classic case of abuse of power -the authority of Police, the lethal use of a weapon are central to this case and represent exactly the type of imbalance in human behaviour that has to be corrected for us collectively to move forward.

April 8 Midwest & Plains tornadoes place millions at risk

April 12 LA quakes

April  2015 has seen an intensification of ISIS activity in numerous global hotspots as well as developing locations of concern -Australia in particular with flow on potential as far as New Zealand.

April 18 New Moon in Aries
This energy accentuates for at least a lunar month time frame the energies of Aries and Mars
This is easily expressed as anger, aggression, military, terrorist energy on account of Jupiter amplifying the Mars potentials.
High drama is on offer with Jupiter in Leo
The prevailing Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn adds to negative outcomes involving excess and extreme force.
The same energy affects natural conditions -the Earth's state of balance/imbalance, the atmospheric conditions and therefore weather.
The world is watching ANZAC 100 year WWI commemorations held in numerous locations including Gallipoli and UK and Commonwealth nations.
The potential for terrorist opportunistic assaults must be regarded as high at an event with deep significance to the West and its military history.  Already related news has emerged:

***April 18 - news around this period 

ABC report

April 19 news headlines

April 19 report of a boat capsize of 700 people escaping Libya.
The boat sank when in sight of land, excited people rushed to one side of the vessel, causing it to overturn. A dramatic death toll is anticipated.
This event involves significant keywords related to the prevailing forces discussed: imbalance, overturned , terminated- as well as the impact on relationships, partnerships - BBC news report
April 20 Severe weather hits Sydney Australia with lots of rain and wind

 

REPORT

July 2014 in New Zealand Politics

Before everyone on the Right starts ordering the booze and the Left sink into a deeper state of frustration.... a more in depth profile for John Key is being compiled with his  53rd birthday approaching and since he is currently being promoted in a  biography it is topical to add further perspectives on the person who plans to have an extended impact on the state of our nation.
Recent analysis reveals that in this pre-election period significant challenges and opposing forces will arise for him starting in July and extending into the run-up to September 20.

I have chosen Key as the Leo profile -with reference to his almost-astrological-twin Barack Obama as well.

Leo Profile: John Key New Zealand Politician 

live now on this blog

What lies beneath the surface?

What challenges are confronting him in 2014? 

postscript:

JULY 2014 is globally a time of surprises and sudden events in politics across a spectrum of intensity with terrorist and military conflict at the extreme end and varying degrees of violence and aggression across the remaining context.

Structural and hierarchical change in many forms and circumstances is very strongly indicated.

(Already the Wimbledon "system" is being derailed) 

Environmental contexts are within the picture - earth changes and movements with significant seismic activity are likely in vulnerable zones.

National politician in the news and under fire for bungling a criminal matter involving a foreign diplomat:

Murray McCully deserves mention here since his known planetary profile from Feb 19 1953 shows he has multiple planets ( Sun, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus) in the firing line of current influences (Saturn, Uranus)

The National government may well be skating on thin ice over the sex charge involving a Malaysian diplomat - background + update here. Minister McCully and PM John Key are both at risk -particularly Key of offending the female vote and males who want justice for women.

More revelations re the government's handling of Kim Dotcom have arisen in a challenging way for the government -report

Police under fire for "recoding" statistics -seen as a corrupt practice of benefit to government -report

All these issues are stewing away while John Key is vacationing in Maui

He is likely to return to a firestorm of pent up political challenges.

August 2014 did in fact become a firestorm for John Key and National due to the release of the book Dirty Politics by Nicky Hager.

This audio catches Key under fire
