Just over twelve years ago, I completed the largest ever research study into astrology that proved it scientifically beyond any possible doubt – Capricorn Astrology Research Project and started to write up my findings.
I had no idea what the response would be, but I expected the work to receive a lot of pushback from the so called scientific community along with a similar level of support from the so called astrological one.
As it turned out, it got neither.
I can understand the scientists, the findings are too powerful and since astrology can’t possibly be true, the simplest reaction is to ignore them altogether.
I presented the research to a number of major astrological publications, but it was obviously too powerful for them as well.
I have long since become used to this state of affairs. As a 12th house Capricorn Sun and Moon, I make no attempt to promote myself or the work and have no expectation that others would either. I have no interest in becoming a media astrologer.
I recognise that the vast majority of people on Earth are not ready to see the true power that astrology wields over their lives.
I realised that my job was just to keep on documenting my findings with a tsunami of irrefutable examples and trust that the Universe would bring along the few souls that are able to receive this knowledge.
I also recognise that my recent discovery of the true nature of secondary progressions/regressions and their role in uncovering the astrology of past lives has further narrowed the catchment area, but I have never been one to compromise essential truth in search of followers.
So I have now taken up the task of referring to some of my older articles to look at them from a progressed perspective.
The Capricorn Project took over 3 years to complete. I studied every single timed chart on the Astrodatabank at the time (over 20,000).
Besides the statistically astounding discoveries detailed in Does This Prove Astrology?, I realised that the major verifiable turning point events in people’s lives were indicated by the transits of Pluto and set about writing them up.
One of the most stunning examples was that of The McCra Family Murders.
Twelve years ago my articles were much shorter so I have included all of it here.
“Gerald McCra Jr was age 15 when he shot and killed both his parents and younger sister. There had been violent incidents before but on Oct 9th 1993 whilst he was having an argument with his mother, something in Gerald snapped and he shot her and then the whole family one at a time.
Gerald Jr’s chart is a very difficult one. Sun Taurus, Moon Scorpio, Leo with Mars rising gives tremendous intensity and physical strength, but any potential problems in the chart are severely increased by the exactness of many of the aspects.
The Sun is 1 degree from an exact square to Mars, which could certainly account for an aggressive nature. Mercury is exactly opposite Pluto to within 4 minutes and this opposition is within 20 minutes of the 4th – 10th house cusps showing considerable verbal explosiveness and the strong likelihood that this would be expressed within the family.
An extremely difficult Moon in Scorpio in the 5th is opposite Venus and T-Squared to Saturn – both Moon and Saturn are at 23 deg 39 min. So we have extreme difficulties in relationships with women in the family and the mother in particular. The intensity of this aspect is quite enough to make him attack his mother.
Merle McCra, his mother also has a very difficult chart. Her Moon is in Scorpio at 22 deg 46 within a degree of her son’s Moon, but it is also exactly conjunct the 8th house cusp of death by 12 minutes. The Moon is part of a very difficult T- Square opposite Mercury and square Pluto.
This T Square is the clearest astrological example of a murder victim imaginable. The 8th house and particularly its cusp is traditionally linked with death and the fifth rules children so this combination points to Merle being killed by her son.
The sister, Melanie McCra has a difficult Sun in Cancer square to a Mars / Saturn conjunction which would indicate troubles within the family but staggeringly her Moon is also in Scorpio at 23 deg 15. So all 3 of them have the Moon within a degree of each other.
The father Gerald McCra Sr has his Moon at 26 deg 13 Taurus in direct opposition to the Scorpio Moons of the rest of the family.
Like his wife, he also has a Tsquare that focuses on Pluto. Gerald senior’s Sun is bang on the cusp of the 5th house in square to Mars close to the cusp of the 8th house again suggesting violence at the hands of his son.
Gerald Jr’s chart suggests a strong likelihood of violence against other women in the family, particularly the mother and he shares exact Moon positions with Melanie and Merle . Extreme violence, even murder is clearly on the cards with this combination.
It is quite common for family members to have important planets in their charts linked by aspect, but the chances of having 3 people in one family sharing the same Moon degree are over 30,000/1 against.
Of course the problem with having all these Moons so close together would be that any passing transits would trigger them all at the same time and since the charts are very difficult anyway, the results would be horrendous.
The one that would cause by far the most havoc would be Pluto to conjunct these Moons.
Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio and is the focal T Square point for both parents and bang on the 4th house cusp for Gerald Jr.
Pluto would only make one such contact in their lifetimes, unfortunately it would only need one.
On 9th Oct 1993 Pluto was at 23.57 Scorpio, exactly conjunct the Moons of Gerald Jr, Merle and Melanie, it was also opposed Gerald Sr’s Moon. The tension in all four charts was unleashed to catastrophic and tragic effect.
Transit Saturn at 23.55 Aquarius was exactly square to all these placements too.
This terrible tale is the result of the coming together of some of the most difficult charts that Capricorn Research has ever seen. The tragic results of Pluto’s transit were sadly predictable.”
One major problem for human beings in the 21st century is that we are so used to receiving vast amounts of information that we never really fully process any of it. It passes across our consciousness and our brains just look for something else.
The astrological accuracy and intensity of the above story is so staggering that it literally should blow our minds and we would be incapable of seeing anything in the same way again.
The conventional world view should be immediately assigned to the rubbish bin.
I have over 1,000 articles on this site chronicling this level of astrological exactitude, yet just like all those others, this one will only be read by a few souls who have become used to it.
It means that Gerald McCra Jr was always going to murder his whole family, it wasn’t just some tragedy that built over the years due to teenage frustration and was triggered by an argument with his Mum.
It was evident and predictable from the moment of his birth.
In fact it was entirely predictable from the moment of his mother’s birth.
More than that, it was prearranged as part of a soul contract between the four of them.
How can we know that? Because we can astrologically regress Gerald Jr.
His mother, Merle was born 21 years before him, but the moment of her birth announced the emergence into this life of the soul who he would murder 36 years later.
First a reminder of Gerald Jr’s Natal chart.
There are so many indications of the murders in Gerald Jr’s chart but the standout aspect would surely be the Moon at 23.38 Scorpio square to Saturn at 23.39 Leo.
This is particularly evident given his mother and daughter’s Moon positions within a degree of his own.
If we regress Gerald’s chart back to his Mum’s birthdate we get this.
Regressing back from his birth, this is the first time his Moon would have made the opposition to Saturn, and here it is exactly triggered.
The odds of this lunar regression alone occurring by chance are over 200/1 against.
The 2nd standout family murder pattern in Gerald’s natal chart is the exact opposition between his Mercury at 14.52 Aries and his 4th house Pluto at 14.47 Libra.
This opposition is triggered by a T Square involving his regressed Sun at 13.38 Aries and Ascendant at 14.59 Cancer.
Which, when we regress Gerald Jr’s chart back to the birthdate of his father, a couple of years later.
The Sun/Pluto opposition closes to within 3 minutes.
The odds of this one happening by chance are over 35,000/1 against.
In the Capricorn Astrology Research Project, I provide a P test result which is a test used by scientists to assess whether a distribution is statistically significant or not.
“The test result is for the data is 1.0094E-53
As the sample size is so large the odds of this distribution occurring by chance is
0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000010094 %”
The odds of all of the above in the McCra tragedy occurring by chance would be similar.
So why would the Universe conspire so specifically to have Merle McCra and her husband murdered when it seems that their chief crime in this life was to name their son Gerald Jr?
It seems spectacularly unfair, when the rest of us are handed charts that allow us to get by without getting bumped off by our kids.
There must have been some accumulated karma that contributed to this tragedy.
My betting is that there was an incident that happened 50 years before any of them were born, that paved the way for this carnage.
This would have been the most recent time Gerald Jr’s regressed Sun aspected his current Moon/Saturn square.
The Sun and Venus formed an opposition with Saturn in the 4th house and a T Square with an apex Ascendant.
This created a Grand Cross on top of Gerald’s current life T square.
Merle McCra also has a tight regressed T Square between the Sun/Venus opposite Neptune apex Uranus.
Her regressed Moon is also exactly opposite her current 4th house Mars.
Gerald Sr has two regressed T Squares for May 1907, one being his Cancer Moon exactly opposite Saturn with an apex Ascendant.
The other has Venus in the 5th house opposite Uranus apex Mars in the 8th.
From all of the above, I’d say they all managed to find another moment of family carnage, but maybe this time it was Gerald Sr that was doing the killing.
The one thing we do know is that astrology through the family natal charts, transits of Saturn and Pluto and secondary progressions and regressions has clearly indicated the McCra family murders.
But out of the two billion or so people on this planet that believe in astrology, it’s likely that no more than two hundred of them will read this article.
For some reason the Universe has conspired to place us humans on a planet where there is a suggestion of cosmic order but in order to find out the true extent of it, we all have to search it out for ourselves.
So I will just carry on casting these pearls for those that do.
