Derek Chauvin and his transits on 4/20/21



Birth time is unknown, so houses and angles are irrelevant, but moon was in scorpio between 13deg-27degs the day of his birth.

If he was born after 10am, the Sun/Saturn/Moon grand trine is in orb.

Looking generally at the natal, interesting points include sun in pisces at 29, and mars in cancer at 0. As well, the total lack of earth, and significant lack of air and fire. This overemphasis on water gives extra emphasis on the three grand trines, sun/Saturn/moon in water, mercury/Saturn/moon in water, and mars/venus/Uranus in water.

Both grand trines with Saturn involved contribute to an individual whose identity, emotions and mind is tightly connected to his feelings of responsibility and authority (Saturn), and with Saturn in cancer, that authority is over not only his family but could also be interpreted as his immediate community. There is mutual reception between mars and moon, with Saturn disposited by moon. Using traditional rulers, the chart is ruled by the mutual disposition of moon and mars.

So already we get the picture of a very emotionally driven person whose desire to “serve and protect” (Saturn) is well embedded inside him. The grand trines, without any release point, hint at the possibility that whatever his inner philosophy was about his work, it was colored by his own inner realizations, and may not be in line with what is truly appropriate.

I get the sense of someone who really thinks that the way he operates is the best way to operate, and is not open to changing the way he perceives his reality, due to the deep identification with his emotions.

Moon in scorpio is evident in how he took the charges – there was no emotional reaction from him in the videos of him listening to the charges being read.


Looking at this transits, he had tr pluto at 26 capricorn, opposing his natal Saturn and forming a kit with his sun/Saturn/moon grand trine. Transiting pluto creates a release point for that grand trine, upending it and showing him that how he was operating was not in line with how he should have been operating, when it comes to “serving and protecting”.

Uranus at 10 taurus hovering over an opposition to his NN also shows a drastic change in his destiny at this time. Tr Saturn also squares his NN.

Tr chiron also opposes his natal pluto.

His tightest aspects are sun square mars, and Saturn square chiron

Sun square mars gives a tendency towards aggression, acting out, and with the sun involved in sun/Saturn/moon, he would be prone to acting out this aggression when “serving and protecting”.

Saturn square chiron indicates an issue with accessing his inner pain and transmuting it into wisdom.. hiding away from painful feelings that made him feel inadequate, not learning lessons from his inner wounding that he needs to grow.

With chiron in aries, this is a person whose wounding is around being a “man”, being “seen”, and “winning”.

Mars in cancer at 0 is interesting as well. Mars in cancer is in the fall, and at 0 degrees speaks to a lack of knowledge of how to operate through the lense of cancer… kind of stumbling through it. This strikes me as a person who misuses their martian energy, acts very emotionally and possibly inappropriately.

My chairside interpretation is that George Floyd represented something to derek Chauvin that he felt was anathema to his personal philosophy, and the excessive force he used was driven by his feelings not only about the current situation, but likely deep subconscious fears. the whole excessiveness of the knee on the neck echoes mars at 0 and sun square mars. He was not acting in line with his training or following the rules of his job at all, but unleashing a lot of his inner issues onto Floyd through the excessive and extended force.

There is more in the midpoints but i'll leave it at that and open up the floor to others!
