the This article asks why April signals the beginning of mass shootings every year.

Here's the article. I wish linking articles on here was easier.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/the-strange-seasonality-of-violence-why-april-is-the-beginning-of-the-killing-season/2016/04/03/4e05d092-f6c0-11e5-9804-537defcc3cf6_sto ry.html

Lol I was born April 22nd and nowhere in my chart does it show a propensity to become a female killer or some sh*t like that. Anyways, I know why things get more violent. The Sun is now in Aries as are a bunch of other planets. I have Mercury, Venus and Juno in Aries and I know what intense speech and love is, especially now while the planets are transiting and conjuncting my natal Aries planets. They cited the April 20th, 1999 Columbine killings as an example of violence starting up in April ; this is actually a perfect example of Aries war-like energy because I'm pretty positive one of the killers was an Aries sun. This just goes to show that astrology is valid and obviously has a direct correlation to the outside world.

Being an Aries doesn't make one a mass murderer. But that aside, interesting observation about April being when things get done (including suicides and homicides), though it's not that it's so violent, but that it's so ACTIVE. It includes the good with the bad.

And I was unable to get that link to function right, so here's another one (that links to the site):

The Secret Language books peg that as one of the most tumultuous cusps (Aries -> Taurus)

WACO compound destroyed and all occupants killed April 19th.

The Oklahoma City Bombings took place April 19th. Partly intended as revenge for Waco?

Other stuff, if you look at each day on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_19

But of course, normal people are born around then too

Yep. My Dad is the 21st, and he's the best.

I'm the 14th, and haven't blown anyone up.

Yeah I was born on "The Cusp Of Power" as they call the Aries/Taurus cusp. I do have a terrible temper sometimes and I've had tremendous upheavals in my life. I remember the LA Riots actually took place a week after I was born, so yes April can be a very difficult time. However, I think the Queen Of England was born one or two days before me and look at that lady being all lucky and royal hahaha!

I know Aries isn't the only factor in killings, but I think it is an important thing to consider. The war-like energy of Aries is amplified when one person has an Aries sun and transit Sun in Aries or transit Mercury in Aries conjuncts their sun. They usually get very combative and angry if they're prone to aggression like whichever Columbine shooter who was an Aries sun (I think it was Eric Harris???)

I don't see Aries as war-like. Impulsive, yes, and they can have a temper, but the temper seems more inclined to make them walk away (not to be confused with passivity) and find something more pleasing to them than declare war the way a Scorpio, Leo, or even Cancer would. I did know one Aries who liked to fight in tournaments, but that was all about the contest, and though her temper could be dangerous, it was also fleeting (to the point that 20 minutes after she was done yelling up a storm with threats and insults that she couldn't understand why people were still mad or upset over it), not someone to seethe with resentment let alone plan a massacre (the only Aries I've heard of that might sounded as if her Scorpio moon might be involved with the Aries sun making her less subtle while the moon made it very difficult for her to let go and move on).

To me, Aries is the sign that goes out and initiates, but isn't big on planning the details and sticking to them (and Aries strikes me as the kind to be caught really fast if they tried because subtlety and planning aren't their forte). Meanwhile, most mass murderers seem more obsessed and seething (something I'd see as more of the dark side of Scorpio than Aries, though the larger than life response might show the darker side of Leo), they're obsessed with Hitler's birthday or the Columbine massacre, they seethe while most Aries (not taking their moon and Pluto into account) wouldn't seethe and obsess. Thinking of an Arien mass murderer makes me think of the one done by Brenda Spencer (oh, look at that, she IS an Aries, though her crime was in January) and though it's difficult to see through her mental illness, it appears that she did so because she was bored. Furthermore, she was enabled by her father who gave her the gun to do it with, probably because he was hoping she would kill herself rather than other people (seriously, given her troubles her dad should've been held criminally negligent at best). Had she not been given that gun, then I doubt she'd have ever shot anyone.

Furthermore, it seems most mass murderers lack any creativity. Most of them are essentially copycat killers, even if it's years later. They're also incompetent which is why they rarely get the high body count they desire. That's even true of the Columbine massacre, about everything that went right was either because someone else did it on behalf of the killers, or because others involved were equally incompetent. Everything they saw to themselves was pretty much a failure (like their juryrigged propane bombs). In contrast, most who are Aries that I know are competent and creative. (Though I suppose it makes sense that those lacking competence and creativity were the ones who felt overwhelmed by their problems and just ready to give up to go out in a blaze of vengeance.)

Still, I'm sure someone lists mass murderers and if about half are an Aries sun then I'll concede there might be something to Aries experiencing their solar return being especially dangerous for them.

Btw, I just checked two mass murders in which I knew it was resentment against women and both were Libra (George Sodini and George Hennard)...the Luby's shooting done in October while the sun was in Libra (the day after the killer's birthday). (Doesn't surprise me that Elliot Rodger is a Leo--not that he's typical for a Leo as it's said people knew there was something really wrong with him since he was a little boy and family had been trying to get him psychiatric help for years. Yet his sense of entitlement and superiority strikes me as Leo gone very bad, but then mass murderers aren't really ever typical of their sign. Speaking of which, astrological commentary on him.)
