Biography

Who is Whitman Charley?

American engineering student at the University of Texas, former U.S. Marine, and a mass murderer who killed 16 people. Noted as intelligent, intense and driven, he was court-martialed out of the Marines (for gambling, usury, possession of a personal firearm on base, and threatening another Marine) and was a brutal and domineering husband. In the early morning hours of 1 August 1966, Whitman murdered his wife and mother in their homes. Later that day, he brought a number of guns, including rifles, a shotgun, and handguns, to the campus of the University of Texas at Austin where, over an approximate 90 to 95 minute period (starting from about 11:48am), he killed 14 people and wounded 32 others in a mass shooting in and around the Tower. Whitman shot and killed three people inside the universitys tower and eleven others after firing at random from the 28th-floor observation deck of the Main Building. Whitman was shot and killed by Austin police officer Houston McCoy at about 1:30pm. Two people later died of their injuries. An autopsy revealed that he had a malignant brain tumour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this profile's Vedic astrology, birth chart, and numerology — answered by our astrologers.

How does Whitman Charley's birth chart influence his approach to marriage and relationships?

Whitman Charley's chart carries challenging planetary influences that deeply affect his relational dynamics. With a Pisces ascendant, he naturally seeks emotional connection, yet his Gemini moon and sun create a mental, sometimes detached quality. The presence of Takshaka Kal Sarpa Yoga and Angarak Yoga in his chart indicates intense internal conflicts and volatile emotional patterns that strain intimate bonds, creating friction between his desire for partnership and his inability to maintain emotional stability.

What career path does Whitman Charley's astrological chart suggest he would follow?

Whitman Charley possessed the Bhadra Mahapursh Yoga, which typically grants intellectual sharpness and analytical capability, guiding him toward technical and engineering fields. His Gemini sun and moon reinforce communication and problem-solving aptitudes suited for precision work. However, the severe afflictions in his chart, including Angarak Yoga and Takshaka Kal Sarpa Yoga, indicate that while his intellectual gifts were real, they were overwhelmed by psychological disturbances that prevented constructive expression of his natural talents.

Which Vedic lunar mansion does Whitman Charley's moon sign fall under?

Whitman Charley belongs to Gemini rashi as his Vedic moon sign, marking him as a native with inherent curiosity, mental agility, and communicative drive. Gemini moon natives are typically adaptable and intellectually restless, yet in Whitman Charley's case, this sign combined with severe yogic afflictions created a mind prone to obsessive thought patterns and difficulty achieving emotional equilibrium, intensifying inner turmoil rather than channeling mental energy constructively.

Where was Whitman Charley born and on what date?

Whitman Charley was born on June 24, 1941, in Lake Worth, United States. This birth date and location form the foundation of his natal chart, establishing his sun in Gemini in Western astrology and his Vedic sun also in Gemini, along with his Pisces ascendant. These placements, combined with the specific yogic configurations present in his chart, created a complex astrological profile marked by profound internal conflicts.

What is Whitman Charley's Western zodiac sun sign and what does it reveal?

Whitman Charley is a Cancer in Western tropical astrology, born June 24. Cancer natives are typically associated with emotional depth, protective instincts, and family orientation. However, Whitman Charley's chart contains severe afflictions including Angarak Yoga and Takshaka Kal Sarpa Yoga that override these benevolent Cancer traits, instead manifesting as emotional volatility, aggression, and an inability to process feelings in healthy ways, leading to catastrophic behavioral outcomes.

How does Whitman Charley's rising sign shape the way others perceive him?

Whitman Charley's Pisces ascendant creates an outward appearance of sensitivity, spirituality, and gentle introspection that initially draws others in. Pisces lagna natives often seem intuitive and compassionate on the surface. Yet his chart's severe yogic afflictions—particularly Takshaka Kal Sarpa Yoga with Rahu in the seventh house and Ketu in the first—create a profound disconnect between his gentle exterior and violent internal impulses, masking deep psychological disturbance beneath a deceptive facade.
