Well, there is not really a mystery here; the pilot’s apparent suicide note tells the story. Joe Stack, pilot of the Piper aircraft that he flew into an Austin federal building housing the IRS, the CIA and the FBI, explains why he did it: total frustration being shafted by tax authorities, after a decades-long battle; compounded by his rage over the bank bailout. You can read, or skim, the lengthy suicide note here<\/strong><\/a> on the NPR website. (Note, I am hearing reports that his missive is being pulled from different websites; we have archived a copy of the code from NPR in case this happens).<\/p>\n

In his exit manifesto, after talking about much history and tax code lore that I will run past our CPA for her opinion, Mr. Stack wrote: “I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well.<\/p>\n

“The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.<\/p>\n

“The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.”<\/p>\n

I would say that Mr. Stack was expressing a sentiment that many Americans feel. And indeed, he did something about it. The chart confirms this so well that at first glance, before even reading a news article, I wrote to Fe: “this is domestic terrorism; it’s suicide.” When one’s method of suicide involves flying into a government building, well, that’s a special kind of activism.<\/p>\n

Now, how could I tell from the chart? We have to do some footwork, but trust me this is like doing the hop, compared to the tango.<\/p>\n

The whole chart comes back to Mars retrograde. It’s almost that easy. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a death chart, the first thing you check is the ruler of the 8th house, of death; which happens to be the 8th house of death and taxes (and really, really hot sex — go figure). That would be Scorpio on the 8th cusp therefore Mars is the ruler. Doing this kind of astrology, you stick to traditional planets, for a while.<\/p>\n

We find Mars retrograde in the 4th house of domestic matters; the home, and the homeland.<\/p>\n

Next, check the ascendant. Aries is rising and Mars rules Aries. The ascendant ruler and the chart’s theme ruler are the same planet: Mars retrograde in the 4th house. That retrograde is suicidal; self-inflicted. <\/p>\n

Last, the Aries Moon (ruled by Mars) is conjunct Eris in the 12th house. That’s a little weird — the 12th suggests what we do not know. But there’s always plenty of this going around. My take is, we know what we need to know; let’s see what the media does with this, and what the government does with it.<\/p>\n

The bigger issue is, do we have a trend? Well, as I’ve been saying, weird things tend to happen right before the Sun changes signs. That is the case now — the Sun is dangling in the last arc minutes of Aquarius, as you can see in the chart; its position is 29 degrees and 53 minutes. That’s about as close to the edge as you can get — the Sun goes into Pisces, the last sign, in about one hour from now. <\/p>\n

The good thing is that most people want to live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
