May 2025 was a critical moment for the Menendez brothers. A judge has indeed changed their life sentence to a sentence of 50 years, which entitles them to request parole.

Three months later, the California Department of Correctional and Reintegration Services Commission rejected the two brothers’ request for parole.

What do we see in their birth charts? Recall that we have exact birth data for the two men and that I tried an analysis of their crime in a previous post entitled The Menendez brothers and Chiron.

Erik’s May 2025 transits are particularly favourable. Uranus is about to join his MC and at the exact half-point with the lunar axis, Jupiter is in exact trigone to Mercury, the slow conjunction Saturn/Neptune makes a wide trignone to the Sun and Neptune, but this conjunction also opposes the natal Pluto. Mars is sextile in Uranus.

On the side of Lyle, Uranus is in trigone with Mercury and Uranus. The lunar axis prowls around Chiron just as Chiron prowls around the natal lunar axis.

The judgment of the Californian commission takes place under slightly different auspices. First of all, the conjunction Saturn/Neptune has become retrograde and thus still opposes Pluto in the case of Erik. However, this conjunction is still weakly trigone to the Sun, a trigone that will be exact in 2026 for Saturn and much later for Neptune. Uranus has crossed the MC and still opposes Neptune located at the IC.

For Lyle, nothing compelling or that could « favour » a liberation. The Saturn/Neptune conjunction is still well in the saddle in opposition to Uranus. Uranus transits in square the natal Mars. Although Jupiter is preparing to cross the IC and oppose just before the Sun, it is a bit as if the chances of release were not for now.

The decision of the release commission will be revised within 120 days and after this period, the governor of California will have 30 days to decide whether to overturn the final resolution. This brings us to December 2025 or January 2026.

This instability is particularly evident in Erik’s sky map since Uranus, by its apparent retrograde movement, will return to the MC and then cross it again in May 2026. In other words, anything can happen to him again.

We can think the same thing about the situation of Lyle, because the same Uranus will remain for a long time in square with Mars (which we remember, is in the MC sector) and this transit will be resolved at the same time as the passage of Uranus to Erik’s MC!

Not everything is played in advance for the two men. My analysis is a summary, and it would be pretentious on my part to conclude that I have everything in hand to analyze the events.

As must often be remembered, the stars tilt, but do not oblige. They "talk" to us, of course, but their messages are usually better deciphered when events have taken place. Take, for example, the moment when, in 2013, Erik would have become sober and believing. Well, Neptune, planet par excellence of mysticism, rose to the Descendant, while Saturn! This Neptune is very strong in its theme, since at the MC...

At the same time, Saturn was at the Descendant of Lyle, but no declared or publicized event is known to him. For one, an important planet seems to animate him at the time of his passage to the Descendant, while for the other, nothing apparent. Maybe it’s more inside...

The astrologer cannot « guess ». It is through constant dialogue with the people concerned that he can establish a portrait, a significant mapping of the adventure of souls on this Earth.
