The Minnesota assassination of Congresswoman Melissa Hortman and her husband; and the further shooting of Senator John Hoffman and his wife which has left them severely injured occurred on the exact Mars square Uranus (conjunct Algol) on June 14th.
The Minnesota state chart, 11 May 1858, was exactly on its Uranus Return – with the tr Uranus Algol square tr Mars also triggering its Jupiter Algol, Uranus opposition Mars in Scorpio – so it was always going to get the full brunt of the explosive Mars Uranus.
The previous eclipses also had Jupiter marked on the axis – the March Solar Eclipse with Jupiter conjunct the IC; and the March Lunar Eclipse with Jupiter conjunct the Descendant.
Melissa Hortman, 27 May 1970, a lively Sun Gemini trine Uranus, opposition Neptune – had her Solar Arc Uranus and her natal Neptune both late degree Scorpio square Venus in late Leo – so was also rattled by the prevailing celestial winds. As was her husband Mark, 30 November 1966, an upbeat Sun Venus in Sagittarius trine Jupiter in Leo whose Solar Arc Mars was in late Scorpio for the shocking experience.
John Hoffman, still in hospital, 17 January 1965, a Sun Capricorn trine Mars in Virgo also coincidentally had his Solar Arc Mars in late Scorpio catching the hard aspect from the transiting Mars Uranus Algol square.
Vance Boelter, 23 July 1967, who has been arrested for the crimes is a Sun Leo square Mars and his South Node in vengeful Scorpio, with Jupiter in Leo trine Saturn in Aries. He allegedly dressed as a police officer and drove in a car that resembled a police squad, leaving behind a list of names after he fled, mostly Democratic elected officials and abortion rights activists who he allegedly wanted dead.
His relationship chart with Melissa Hortman had a composite Mars in late Leo, possibly on the exact degree of the Mars square Uranus.
A tragic coincidence of destinies.
