The Minnesota assassination of Congresswoman Melissa Hortman and her husband; and the 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 influences.
The previous eclipses located to Minnesota 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 end to their lives.
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 as well.
Vance Boelter, 23 July 1967, who has been arrested for the crimes is a Sun Leo square Mars and 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.
America is famous for it’s guns and violence. This incident does not look different, although it is politically motivated. It looks more like a sort of intimidation to Democrats, for them to be fearless of participating in politics and elections. Recent polls suggest that Democrats are ahead, they may claim the house and senate again in 2026 midterms. The voters are now turning to Democrats again. Trump’s polls continue to fall. If I look at the stars, they don’t show this incident continuing to other states or cities. USA will soon have Uranus return, it will form an aspect with Pluto in Aquarius, Trump is also having his Uranus return from July this year too. In his chart, Uranus it is sitting on his 10th house of career and Pluto is currently in his 6th house of work, meaning a probability of being kicked out of work, Uranus is also about separations. As I said before it remains to be seen if he will finish his term. In USA chart Pluto(in Aquarius) is currently on the 3rd house of communications, which is humanitarian, while the 11th house (being sociable and society issues) is ruled by Scorpio which is non divisive. What Trump and MAGA are doing, of being divisive, is not going to work. It is just going to blow on their face, in coming months and years.
Thank you for your assessment. It gives me hope that one day cheering people’s death merely for having different political views will be met with with contempt and (dare I say it) being “cancelled” as opposed to being cheered by the fringe.
I abhor violence and the cheering on of violence, because it amounts to petty bullying and intimidation of victims. Your words give me hope that their time is limited.
As a moderate, I have seen violence on both sides, but it is obvious that right now it is MAGA that is overwhelmingly encouraging violence. The Facebook messages I see where the victims are marginalized and taunted is boiling the blood of people on the left.
It doesn’t take astrology to know that this won’t end well.
My question is how MAGAs thirst for violence and “owning the Libs” will end? Will it end with Trump leaving, or will it continue on? Because many of my democratic friends are openly saying that they hope someone from the left succeeds in killing several Republican lawmakers because (and I quote this) “the only way they will stop supporting violence is if they are victims of violence themselves!”
Our country is divided enough as it is, but will things devolve to the point where it will take a large number of deaths from Republicans for both sides to cry “enough!” What does astrology say about the future of politicians’ passive/aggressive support for violence against the other side? Will people get tired of it, or will it take a violent event to start the tide toward restraint and change?
I’m an independent so I don’t identify with either side. But I admit that my liberal friends have a point. We already saw Trump being the victim of an attempted assassination. I thought that MAGA would calm down after their win. But if MAGA continues to laugh when their colleagues get shot, what are they going to do if a crazy liberal succeeds in doing the same to them?
Could someone please give an idea about what the future may hold with regard to this issue?
‘ Because many of my democratic friends are openly saying that they hope someone from the left succeeds in killing several Republican lawmakers because (and I quote this) “the only way they will stop supporting violence is if they are victims of violence themselves!”’
Thats the most distorted dangerous ‘logic’ I’ve ever heard.
That will guarantee maga feels justified, and will only escalate.
I hope you reason them out of it.
You are right. If the left manages to kill a bunch of Republicans because they are Republicans that could be a spark of a much nastier fight. Especially if it is the leaders of the party.
The idea that a big bout of violence against the right will cause the right to pacify is wrong. Conservative folks join the military to fight not run away from fights. Conservatives would not run away from this one either. America’s Gemini Mars in the 7h is about violence among brothers, cousins, neighbors. The 7h is not battlefield it is warfields. Partners. Lawful killing. It is in trine to the Aquarius Saturn so it is restrained. Square the Virgo Neptune.
Trolls on the internet sparking a madman to kill peaceful leaders (Saturn) that receive support in the tens of millions for their political beliefs sounds a lot like an anarchist killing a crown archprince type spark. It also would directly remove the restraint on the USA Gemini Mars. Restraint on the kill brothers in a war. If it hadn’t already happened it might seem fanciful but that was the Civil War. The Democrats started that one too and lost. Lost Cause. Aries Neptune. The Democratic Party is a Sun-Neptune. They display the energy of Neptune through their behavior.
I can also see a more likely scenario in which Republicans are targeted by extreme right-wing MAGATs for not being “pure” enough it or for taking away benefits, such as healthcare, housing, Social Security or other benefits they’ve come to depend on. It’s happened before.
It’s hard to know just what Boelter’s motivations were, but after elections in November, there was an unusual situation with the MN House of Representatives. There was a recount for an election in Shakopee because of missing ballots, and one Democratic legislator had to vacate his seat because he didn’t live in his district. You can’t make this up! Meanwhile, House Democrats were boycotting because Republicans wanted to legislate without a quorum, which is 68 members, but they had only 67. Eventually, things were sorted out. Representative Hortman had been the Speaker of the House for 6 years until 2024, but currently the Speaker is Republican Lisa Demuth. Hoffman has been a Democratic Senator since 2012.
On to Boelter! On local news tonight, Boelter’s friend/housemate David Carlson said Boelter was definitely pro-Trump and would be offended to be called a Democrat. We know he was targeting Democrats as well as abortion providers, and Hortman was instrumental in maintaining Minnesota’s status as a safe place for women’s health and upholding abortion rights. Unfortunately, her home was just broken into last night, too.
Boelter has 5 children, and his wife was apprehended driving north with passports, money and weapons. This is just my conjecture, but with his varied occupational background, including preaching, it seems he was tired of being overlooked, ignored, etc., and wanted his moment of fame, taking down the “immoral enemy.”
This was supposed to be a reply to Unmystic Mom.
To give some context as I gleaned from Twitter: Democrats are ahead of Republicans in each House of the state legislature by just one vote in each House. And it seems, based on the fact that one member of each House was targeted, that the aim may have been to tip the balance of the legislature in the other direction.
Marjorie, would it be worth doing an add-on for the Minnesota legislature?
It seems the suspect is a former Democrat-turned-MAGA and both sides are vociferously disowning him.
All the above from Twitter and I don’t have more details. I am sure that Chris Romero and others from the US will fill us in with more details.
Always a step ahead, Marjorie! I was just going to ask you to analyze this tragic situation that happened in my beloved Twin Cities. Thank you.
