The recent mass shooting event in Manhattan occurred at just before 6:30 PM local time on July 28, 2025. As I have often discussed in previous blog posts about events such as this, the event very often is associated with an inner planet (Mars in this case) transiting and activating a previous eclipse point. The eclipse that this event most closely associates with is the first eclipse of this year - the lunar eclipse of March 14, 2025 at 24 Virgo. Mars was transiting this point at the time, and it was conjunct the North Node in Manhattan’s horoscope (see below).
In the event chart, transiting Mars and the Moon are conjunct in the eighth house of transformation and death and squaring transiting Venus in the sixth house of workers. Chiron is conjunct the IC at the bottom of the chart.
