John Wayne Gacy Part I

Kyle Pierce: 00:00:02

Clowns. Like they're archetypal cousins, the Fool, the Trickster and the Jester, the Clown is a sacred dissident, if you will, an honored and seemingly benign transgressor, playfully

Kyle Pierce: 00:01:04

real-life person who can be credited more than any other with the clowns fall into disrepute, and his name is John Wayne Gacy.

Kyle Pierce: 00:01:34

Hello, my name is Kyle, and this is Killer Cosmos. We're looking at John Wayne Gacy's birth chart this week, and I will warn everybody in advance this one is uncomfortable. It gets pretty dark, and

Kyle Pierce: 00:02:44

not an uncommon punishment in the Gacy household. John Stanley Gacy would frequently arrive home from work and immediately head to the basement, only to emerge Some time later, completely drunk,

Kyle Pierce: 00:03:45

academically, but at age 17, began learning the printing trade. However, after several fainting spells during shop class, it was determined that he could no longer be allowed to work with

Kyle Pierce: 00:04:47

himself with the local US Junior Chamber, or the Jaycees, he climbed the Jaycees ladder, bringing in large numbers of new recruits through parties he would host featuring drugs, stag films and

Kyle Pierce: 00:05:49

forcibly. And in August 1967, he coerced a 15 year old son of a fellow JC to perform oral sex on him. The following year, the traumatized boy finally reported the incident to his parents who

Kyle Pierce: 00:06:34

Having served only 18 months of his 10 year sentence, he returned to Chicago to rebuild his life. by all appearances, Gacy wasted no time and finding new teenage boys to assault. In February of 1971,

Kyle Pierce: 00:07:43

following years, Gacy rebuilt his reputation as a successful businessman and popular local precinct captain of the Chicago Democratic Party, throwing massive backyard parties, often with hundreds of

Kyle Pierce: 00:08:47

year old Jeffrey regnal, whom he kept suspended in a pillory in his basement for a night of torture and rape before for forming him and releasing him half naked in Chicago's Lincoln Park. Despite the

Kyle Pierce: 00:09:46

sufficient evidence to search the crawlspace under the house on Somerdale Avenue. Gacy was convicted of 33 accounts of murder and sentenced to death march 18 1980. Finally, On May 9 1994, Casey was

Kyle Pierce: 00:10:25

Now, one of the preconceived notions I went into researching Gacy with was that I tended to think that the clown part of Gacy's story was really much more sensationalized than it was, you know,

Kyle Pierce: 00:11:35

was a little more serious. For the most part, you know, that it's kind of a separate thing. He did exploit that when he was in prison. He started painting really rather shitty clown paintings, and

Kyle Pierce: 00:12:48

you giggling and full clown makeup.

Kyle Pierce: 00:12:52

And I guess Graham managed to knock Casey down, get the keys and on coughed himself, and then he just moved up next day. That's really the closest that Casey's clowning, at least kind of literally,

Kyle Pierce: 00:14:08

And we have the south node also in Pisces, and the fourth hang up pretty close to the ice at 17 degrees 54 minutes. Now this gives us a not super strong, but nonetheless symbolically significant

Kyle Pierce: 00:15:26

a pretty tight, though, just separating opposition with the Moon in Pisces. And then we have Pluto in Leo at three degrees. And you know, it's not super tightly configured anything. I mean, it's in

Kyle Pierce: 00:16:33

identified by the constellation of the water bearer and story I've always known about Kenny meters, that he was this kind of young, very gifted, sort of golden boy, Prince of Troy, and Jupiter or

Kyle Pierce: 00:17:06

So Jupiter sends for an eagle to fly down and whisk this Prince of Princes and bring them up to Olympus. And while it's great, you know, getting the special status as Zeus is cup bearer. It's kind

Kyle Pierce: 00:18:17

bringing in handsome young boys. Like, hey there guy. I've seen you. I've seen you work and you're a hard worker. How would you like to make five bucks an hour, which was like twice as much as the

Kyle Pierce: 00:19:28

gagne Mead and makes him his personal boy love doll. And, you know, it's a technically kind of honored position to be so beloved by the gods that one of them just can't help but kidnap you and

Kyle Pierce: 00:20:42

when you get the ruler of the first in the seventh, one of the more common manifestations of that is, you know, maybe getting a little overly involved in romantic relationships and losing yourself

Kyle Pierce: 00:21:44

it kind of big kind of grandiose stuff, foster growth, right? Gemini, you know, kind of archetypal II Mercury in Gemini, but you know, planets in Gemini take on the quality of Gemini, it's just like,

Kyle Pierce: 00:21:58

curiosity. Gemini likes the details, wants to know, Gemini wants to know, how and the why, and the wind and the where, and, you know, both of them are, all three of them are all seven of them. At the

Kyle Pierce: 00:23:01

itself to more or less do business, you know, in the environment. It's in whether that environment is, you know, a nunnery or basement full of baby eating cannibals and Geminis definitely the more

Kyle Pierce: 00:24:01

very emotional sign. It might like to play with your emotions. But you know, other than being in its detriment what else? That's really not enough to get our kid nappy rapey Zeus, even though you know,

Kyle Pierce: 00:25:03

know, Jupiter is out of sect just by the nature of the chart, but it's also out of sect in terms of its relationship with the sun. So you have the sun below the horizon, which is, you know, by

Kyle Pierce: 00:25:57

your own terms, it's kind of what that's like, the slower moving planets

Kyle Pierce: 00:26:02

tends to have more of the big dick energy. And, you know, they also tend to be just physically bigger than the faster moving planets like Mars, Venus, Mercury, the moon. But that's gonna depend

Kyle Pierce: 00:27:04

is associated with Mars and air signs tends to indicate that hyper mental activity and overheating of the mind, bit of a spinning spinning of the wheels, but not really finding traction or road for

Kyle Pierce: 00:28:07

components of the overall picture and really want to see you know, what the the ruling planet is doing and you got you got Mercury ruling Gemini. And you know, Mercury's in its fall in its

Kyle Pierce: 00:29:12

But he said that Mercury in pisces is good at a lot of things. But being Mercury is not one of them. However, you know, with Jupiter in Gemini, we got a mutual reception. Now mutual receptions are

Kyle Pierce: 00:30:19

identity confusion there, then mercury, you know, and it's fall. In the fourth, it's with the South Node. It's also this kind of fresh and covered and after birth sort of mercury, like just just got

Kyle Pierce: 00:31:03

Venus in the third, even if he wasn't a serial killer, I personally wouldn't want to get caught in an elevator was definitely the type to start chatting up anybody and anywhere about anything. And he

Kyle Pierce: 00:32:10

of style of communication. But you know, really, this could be kind of up for debate, given the sort of sign boundary involved. But Mercury is separating from a square from Saturn, out of sine square,

Kyle Pierce: 00:33:11

relationship, which can be very productive, but the they come is kind of a unit. So whatever is going on with one is going to be kind of going on with the other. So overall, I mean, it sort of

Kyle Pierce: 00:34:12

obviously, you know, that took on a increasingly malevolent and dark tone. But you know, what about Venus? Venus is in the overcoming trine with Jupiter. And it's, you know, kind of not quite an

Kyle Pierce: 00:34:55

But you know, it's an Aquarius not you know, a bad sign for Venus. is not really good or bad inherently, I'd say Venus generally has quite a bit to work with in the sign of Aquarius, it's a

Kyle Pierce: 00:35:58

and around them. And through them. I mean, he was able to convince people that he had maybe just picked up off the street to trust him enough to let him handcuff them. So definitely granting Casey

Kyle Pierce: 00:36:59

the most exciting house in the world, but it doesn't deal with poor inherently negative topics. But it does have that quality that all cadent houses have, there's just a lot to do. The planet theater

Kyle Pierce: 00:37:55

beneficence to dole out in the third. But now, these are all just kind of twigs. I think the real log on the fire here is Saturn. Venus is ruled by Saturn, which is out of sect, to the out of sect

Kyle Pierce: 00:38:49

So, you know, the constraining restrictive drawing in qualities of Saturn are being emphasized and made more prolific by its presence in the sixth house. And I'd say you know, not that the

Kyle Pierce: 00:39:53

all of a sudden they're not there anymore. So I would say that you know, your eeriness is not is radicalizing. as it might be otherwise however, think it points to a kind of slow building of

Kyle Pierce: 00:40:59

package deal. And you know, even Venus technically having the upper hand, which does seem to in practice have the effect of lessening the difficulty of Saturn at least as far as Gacy is concerned.

Kyle Pierce: 00:41:57

that Taurus sort of had a kind of upper hand and I think in practice, you know, Taurus is able to be a little bit more of a standoff and kind of look a little more like negotiation or cooperation

Kyle Pierce: 00:42:38

algo. Bremen star, I'll go, actually not one star, but three, triple star system that eclipses itself in 2.85 day cycles. Ancient Egyptian, called our watchers certainly is about 1200 BCE,

Kyle Pierce: 00:44:13

her, Athena, beside his wife punished her for being such a homewrecker, you know, and turned her into an ugly old Gorgon with snakes for hair and cursed to turn anyone she looked at in the stone.

Kyle Pierce: 00:45:27

existence. And I think this really speaks to the fear that, you know, men have had throughout human history of the power of, you know, women's sexuality. Culture is really sprinkled with subtle and

Kyle Pierce: 00:46:30

but also deeply threatening to the ego. It's a little bit like Saturn is why, to the degree that you can really categorize the character of the planets in a strictly feminine or masculine terms. I

Kyle Pierce: 00:47:35

was not homosexual. And not that I would even argue that he was it's kind of irrelevant, but what's relevant is that he really seemed to be afraid of that designation. Just second marriage, he would

Kyle Pierce: 00:48:34

speculating there. But you know, when Gacy was in prison for sodomy, first time, and he was informed of his father's death, he kind of immediately got off the phone. And the story is he saw, you know,

Kyle Pierce: 00:49:09

You know, he really didn't want anyone thinking he was, you know, emotionally involved with any of these men. And, you know, he also really emphasized that he never went after straight men, all his

Kyle Pierce: 00:50:16

first victim, which was very much unplanned. Early on, he became fond of shoving the victims underwear down their throats, both choking them and causing them to gag, and essentially drowned in

Kyle Pierce: 00:51:21

back and forth where Venus is saying, yes, Saturn saying no, no, it's bad. Yes, it's good to eventually become so conflated that looks like you know, what it looks like. So you know, what Venus

Kyle Pierce: 00:52:27

themes. In some ways, it fits a little better, some ways not, that makes Mars the ruler of the first and it's in the eighth, in the eighth house is like a dark house. Mars in the eighth can be pretty

Kyle Pierce: 00:53:25

influence and conjunct our goal, you know, one of the other things associated with our goal is addiction, alcoholism. And who was Casey's dad, I mean, repressive drunk.

Kyle Pierce: 00:53:37

But you know, you also have Venus there in the fourth and you know, he got along really well with his mom. But that also shows up in the sad rising chart, Venus in the third got along really well

Kyle Pierce: 00:54:37

Eclipse Sun and Moon in Pisces, a sign that does have on the negative side associations with alcoholism, drug addiction escapism. South Node also often comes with things like that also abusive

Kyle Pierce: 00:55:42

dreams, I think is a title very evocative of both what that Pisces South Node Eclipse looks like in the fourth. But also in the fifth ruling the 10th sun ruling you know Leo, which would be the 10th

Kyle Pierce: 00:56:58

This kind of besieged by malefics Mercury flying to a conjunction to form a halt really looks a lot like a killer clown. Just about every news broadcast on the Gacy story began with a reference to

Kyle Pierce: 00:58:00

When the police were tailing him, JC became very aware of it. And naturally, you know, started chatting up the cops took him out to dinner, the cops even you know, kind of liked him. But you

Kyle Pierce: 00:58:58

kind around them, but also makes you more receptive to seeing the absurdity of all of the social expectations that really keep people from being themselves. And you'll see clown like figures all

Kyle Pierce: 01:00:05

house, especially with Neptune in Virgo, they're opposing the moon. Neptune didn't do too great in Virgo, you know, during the dustbowl, or during the Great Depression 1938 to 1942. A lot of

Kyle Pierce: 01:01:18

Casey's chart or any other infamous figure from True Crime history. Now it's just open so there's nobody in it yet. So as a little incentive to help get the discussion going. The first five
