2021 US Capitol Building Riot

The chart above shows the Ascendant on the degree of the November 30 lunar eclipse:

“This is a highly charged lunar eclipse. It could trigger riots, anarchy, and revolutions.”

This is because the eclipse was conjunct fixed star Aldebaran, causing courage, ferocity, a tendency to sedition, and violence. [2]

The star is said to presage individuals who are “restless and riotous, always stirring up popular dissent and revolution.” The star is also said to inflame the minds of the people with furious quarrels, and to be an enemy of quiet and peace, ‘malady desiring civil and domestic wars.” Maternus writes that Aldebaran “when aspected by a malefic portends sudden and unexpected involvement in riots and sedition resulting in justly being condemned by the people.” [3]

So it seems the riot was triggered by the lunar eclipse degree rising on the eastern horizon. The eclipse had been stirring up dissent for six weeks. But there was only about a ten-minute window of opportunity for action created by the rising of the star Aldebaran.

Long-Term Aspects

Shorter Term Triggers

Mercury square Mars (January 8) makes people short-tempered, argumentative, and aggressive. It can lead to rushed decision-making, impulsiveness, and open hostility.

Moon square Pluto (January 6, 6:32 pm) can lead to compulsive and destructive behavior as deeply buried feelings are exposed. It is difficult to control such intense emotions or reactions. Bigotry, racism, fears, and phobias may be exposed in public.
