The astrology of the US addiction to guns, 2017 edition
Much of this article is reposted from a post from 2013. Since then we have had the worst mass shootings in US history:
- Las Vegas, Oct 2017: 58 dead
- Orlando, June 2016: 49 dead

- Sandy Hook, Dec 2012: 27 dead
- Texas church, Nov 2017: 26 dead

It doesn’t hurt that Uranus (planet of liberation from oppression) conjoins both Venus (partners) and Mars (aggression) in the chart. That Uranus/Mars conjunction especially denotes a radical desire for liberty at all costs. Americans own twice as many guns as any other country, per capita.
