Turning Point: The Eclipse-Coded Assassination of Charlie Kirk
Eclipse season is characterized by shocking and consequential changes. Charlie Kirk's tragic murder is no exception, cosmically timed to pivot public consciousness.
Conservative figurehead Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025 in Orem, Utah during one of his famous campus debate events.
Charlie’s Natal Chart
Charlie Kirk, a Libra Stellium (Sun, Moon, Jupiter), made a name for himself (and his organization Turning Point) as the advocate for polite and authentic debate across an increasingly divided political aisle.
The 31-year-old notably prophesied “When discourse ends, violence begins.”
Also a Scorpio Stellium (Mercury, Mars, Pluto), Charlie was no stranger to the depths of the human psyche, violence, and dark side of the world. Much of his work was dedicated to undoing harmful communist propaganda levied to indoctrinate America’s youth—the very propaganda that likely led to his own tragic demise.
Charlie’s Scorpio Mercury was probably also the magnet that attracted people of all kinds to go tête-à-tête and tackle topics typically deemed “taboo.”
His Mercury energized and emblazoned by a loose Mars conjunction, whether passionate discourse was with those who loved or hated him, Charlie was able to draw in large crowds magnetically.
Charlie’s Libra Sun and Moon tell us that he fundamentally desired peace, civility, and balance. A loose conjunction between his Moon and Virgo Venus further supports that Charlie was deep down a kind-hearted and loving person.
Typically, Virgo Venus seeks to be in service to others, be it one’s family or humanity at large. Charlie clearly had a knack for public service, but it ultimately ended up being his greatest point of vulnerability, per his Virgo Chiron.
And perhaps Charlie’s tense Chiron-North Node square is indicative of his purpose in this realm—martyrdom that awakens the public en masse to the callous violence of the modern left.
Charlie’s greatest wound—the ultra-public shot to the throat while speaking on stage—is ultimately a force to propel forward his soul’s destiny. His North Node in the spiritual seeker (and teacher) sign of Sagittarius, this destiny almost certainly correlates to his wisdom, ideology, and Christian beliefs—what Charlie can teach us, even posthumously.
In the immediate wake of his death, being described as “the shot heard around the world” and the most consequential assassination since MLK Jr, once-loyal Democrats are suddenly fleeing their party in droves, horrified by left-wing responses of celebration and glee.
Transit Astrology
Eclipse Season
Launching with the Lunar Eclipse on Sunday, September 7 and culminating in the Solar Eclipse on Sunday, September 21, Eclipse Season is a bi-annual ~two-week period (plus some buffer on either end) characterized by shocking events, plot twists, and pivotal moments that shape our lives and where we’re headed.
Notably unpredictable, the Lunar Eclipse is like an already-brimming Full Moon on steroids; but the Moon’s transits were mostly favorable up until Wednesday…
Moon-Pluto Clash
On the day of Charlie’s assassination, we saw multiple difficult Moon transits, starting with an opposition to Mars (2:53 am ET) and a conjunction with Chiron (10:10 am ET).
By the time shots were fired, the already raw and inflamed Moon was making a tense square to Pluto. Here’s what I anticipated, per the Weekly Astro-Weather:
“Plus a tense Moon-Pluto aspect this evening, we could feel some type of way—potentially out of control or inflamed in a power struggle with another. Others can get deep in touch with feelings.”
Charlie’s Transits
A power struggle, it was.
The assassin decided to play God and take another man’s life—the ultimate exertion of violent Plutonian power. The sobering ripples of this selfish, cowardly, and vile act were quickly felt around the globe, reflected as Pluto’s affliction to the collective emotional consciousness (the Moon).
Mars Impact
Mars is key to watch when it comes to attack, injury, and death, because the malefic planet rules all things war, aggression, and inflammation.
For example, I had a near-death experience when Mars conjoined my Sun (the ego, body). President Trump’s narrow brush with an assassin (now known as J13) occurred during a Mars-Uranus conjunction on his Midheaven (the reputation, public visibility).
Indeed, transit Mars was in a prominent afflictive position to Charlie Kirk’s chart during the assassination, conjunct (and at the midpoint between) his 20º Libra Sun (the ego, body) and 24º Libra Jupiter (expansion, blessing).
Outer Empowerment
Even more remarkably, the slow-moving outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) are forming a rare chain of sextiles (at 1º Gemini, Aries, and Aquarius respectively). This is a potent period for mental breakthroughs, likely spiritual or creative, that drive societal change.
Charlie’s Moon at 2º Libra (receiving support from the chain of sextiles) suggests that his soul benefits from such breakthroughs—and are perhaps tied to his purpose.
Mercurial and Venusian Involvement
Transit Mercury too makes supportive aspects to Charlie’s Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune, allowing his counter-culture spiritual ideas to pervade collective consciousness.
Transit Venus’ support to his Sun poignantly reflects the outpouring of love from millions whom Charlie touched.
Saturnian Strike
The other malefic planet, Saturn, can reform and build as well as it severs, punishes, and strangles.
Charlie Kirk’s life was stolen by a stern, self-imposed authority, one who evidently believed it was his right to take the life of another.
Thus, we see Saturn opposing Charlie’s Venus, an external “authority” severing the earthly connection between Charlie and his loved ones.
Eternal Life?
Any astrologer will tell you that the natal chart lives on beyond physical death as a map of one’s eternal legacy.
May Charlie Kirk’s name and lessons live on.
