On August 27, 2025, Robin Westman shot and killed two children and wounded 17 others in a church-school setting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He then went out to the parking lot and committed suicide, Below you will find his radix solar (noon) chart for his birthdate: June 17, 2002.
While you will look at Leto in 21 Taurus for ”killer, (where the axis includes Zeus for guns, some Valentine (sexual) issue and is, among other things carrying the ASC/Pluto midpoint in its axis,) since there was more than one victim, you also check asteroids for Serial Killers and among those you find Brophy in 16 Gemini so it picks up the Pluto = Child and other issues. You would also see Reinhardt in 14 Cancer to his Mars with Uranus, Hades, the Moon, Eros and Orpheus in that axis! Note that the asteroid, Morden, ”death,” is natally in 28 Taurus 54 so it’s part of that Mars-Uranus configuration! Another “serial killer” point is Holmes and his, natally, is in 15 Aquarius 58. So it’s in the Aries axis (public awareness) and carries, among other things, Demeter-children in its aspect pattern.
Westman was transgender; he ”turned” female at an early age. The reports are that he regretted that now. A factor for Gender Dysphoria is Benjamin #976. His is in 01 Libra 42— within the Aries axis with the Demeter/MC in that axis. When you speak of ”sex change,” you also check asteroids Elba, 22 Aq, and Richter, 11 Gemini. From 11 Gemini, you go directly across the dial to the 26 Cardinal area and see the retrograde Toro there in 26 Libra, Rx. Toro can stand for testosterone, The retrograde condition is especially interesting, eh?
When the role of hormones occurs, we want to examine the chart for the asteroid Harvey.. As well as blood circulation and the reproductive organs, it represents hormones— and that includes insulin, cortisol, estrogen and testosterone. See Harvey here: retrograde in 25 Sag opposing his Sun with aspects from Grieve (regret,) Virchow (anomaly, pathology) and other points. Go over the asteroids Valentine in 05 Aries and Eros in 21 Pisces and see Eros carrying the impact of Hades and the Moon and then going into its axis with the Uranus = Mars (with Dionysuis!) stuff! You might want to also check things like McGee in 08 Libra that stands for testosterone or Allen in 22 Aq (= Pluto) that represents estrogen. Certainly look at Mars and Venus as well.
The Pythia in 25 Pisces, where it announces an ambiguity with uncertain inmplications, to the Sun-Harvey, Rx and Grieve tell a strong and tragic part of this life story. Note that the asteroid, Phoenix, another point that stands for death, is natally in 24 Virgo = Neptune.
As well as using Poseidon (TNP and asteroid by that name) for a school or church, there is also an asteroid Church and his is in 24 Aries with the MC in that axis! Right now, transiting Zeus (guns, anger, volatility) is in 24 Libra.) When you evaluate the asteroid Poseidon, Rx in 04 Sag, you find Mercury, Virchow, the Sun and the Pythia, Harvey and Requiem in that axis!
As you would well imagine, there are strong indications of mental illness in this chart. For instance: one point for sociopathy occurs in 05 Leo. That is the Mars/Uranus = Hades-Eros-Orpheus midpoint. A factor for Combative Psychopathy is in 03 Sag Rx and that’s the Sun/Neptune midpoint and in that axis with the RX asteroid Poseidon in 04 Sag! As you study the chart, consider this idea: Psychopaths are born (with their issues,) but Sociopaths are partially Made (by experiences.) How do you see that?
Go back to the Harvey in 25 Sag opposed the Sun. And consider what you’ve seen about hormones. Uranus represents the hormone Cortisol. Research has shown that hormones are different in psychopaths. This is especially true of testosterone and cortisol. The differences mean that there is blunted stress reactivity, fearlessness, ready aggression and the need to seek heightened stimulation. How does the chart show this?
He had reported that he was concerned about cancer due to vaping. Check out one of the points for vaping, Jacobson #5636, in 04 Libra in his chart. The axis of that includes his Toro, Handley (which can stand for cancer) and Psyche. Another factor for Vaping is in 13 Virgo and that axis takes in is solar Ascendant. It also includes a further vaping factor in 22 Aq which picks up the addiction/drug potential of Bacchus in 07 Aries in its axis. Pluto would also be in that axis.
Following this horrific act, Robin committed suicide. See Erigone (suicide or things one does that are counter to their own best interests,) in 00 Gemini, That dial axis the includes the Moon and the retrograde Orpheus (as well as the Hades-Eros.) There are other suicide asteroids; see the Mundane section of Research Access.
As always, there are thousands of things more to see in this chart (Osiris-Death in 22 Aries = Demeter-children in 07 Gemini in the Aries axis) but I hope I’ve given you a bit of a head start.
Currently, we have the transiting Uranus/Pluto = Aries x Saturn x Neptune and the world sure feels volatile. Stay safe!
