On April 20, 1999, two teenage boys unleashed unimaginable violence at Columbine High School, leaving 13 victims dead and the country in shock. But behind the trench coats and violence were two very different minds. Eric Harris, an Aries Sun with a Scorpio Rising and Cancer Moon, was volatile, vengeful, and dangerously charismatic. Dylan Klebold, born under a Virgo Sun, Pisces Rising, and Aquarius Moon, was deeply conflicted, isolated, and quietly unraveling. In this episode, we unpack the psychological spiral, the overlooked red flags, and how their charts expose the inner chaos that erupted into one of the darkest days in American history.
