Clarisse's analysis
Erik Menendez was convicted in 1996, alongside his brother Lyle, of murdering their parents in 1989. He was 18 at the time. The brothers said they acted after years of abuse by their father. Resentenced in May 2025, they were denied parole in August 2025, and a new hearing is scheduled for March 2027. His birth time isn't confirmed, so no rising sign or houses: we're reading the planets by sign. Good news, his Moon stays in the same sign all day.
Moon, Venus and Jupiter in Scorpio: buried emotions
His Moon is in Scorpio, with Venus and Jupiter. Very intense emotions, often kept secret. Scorpio is the sign of what's hidden, family secrets and deep wounds.
Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius: the search for meaning
His Sun is in Sagittarius, the sign of meaning and faith. In prison, he has taken part in activities and rehabilitation programs.
Saturn in Taurus: missing security
Saturn in Taurus is a need for security that was missing for a long time.
North Node in Aquarius: the mission of perspective
His North Node is in Aquarius: his life mission runs through stepping back and opening up to others.
The bottom line
Buried Scorpio emotions, a Sagittarius search for meaning and a need for security shaped by Saturn. Astrology describes tendencies, never excuses.
