Luigi Mangione arrested for the shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson appears to have been born 6 May 1998 in Pennsylvania. Lauded by some as a folk hero for standing up against an avaricious health care system, he has been condemned by others. His writings glorified Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, a domestic terrorist who believed that killing was justifiable in pursuit of his campaign against advancing technology and the destruction of the natural environment.
Mangione’s grandfather Nicholas, 17 February 1925, was an Italian immigrant who lived the American dream to become rich but was also apparently prone to lash out against the system.
Birth data being sound, Luigi is a volatile and aggressively stubborn Sun Mars in Taurus square Uranus in Aquarius. What was notable at the killing was his Solar Arc Uranus conjunct his South Node in Pisces with his Progressed Mars moving to square his South Node.
His grandfather Nicholas was a Sun Aquarius opposition Neptune with Mercury Venus in Aquarius square a hard-headed Mars in Taurus opposition Saturn in Scorpio. So some similarities.
Ted Kaczynski, 22 May 1942 4pm Chicago, Illinois, weas a highly-strung Sun, Uranus, Saturn in Gemini and also had his South Node in Pisces close to Luigi’s. A Pisces South Node tends to bring an overdose of gloom about problems and life’s sorrows with an over developed sense of sympathy for suffering. So he may have been driven like Kaczynski by the right ideas but used the wrong methods to publicise them.
Brian Thompson’s flamboyant Mars in Leo clashed with Luigi’s angry Mars Sun in Taurus; and his evasive Neptune was conjunct Luigi’s Pluto. Both oddly had Jupiter in Pisces.
The killing has caught the public imagination at a time when feelings and paranoia are running high. But whether it is significant as a history-changing moment is questionable. May be just a sad, short-fused boy with serious back problems interfering with his life and destabilising his mental balance finds a target for his rage. In a country where violence and guns are prevalent and seen as a viable option.
