On April 14, 1865, just days after the Civil War's end, President Abraham Lincoln is shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theatre in Washington. Lincoln dies the following morning. His death shocks the nation and complicates Reconstruction. Booth, a Confederate sympathizer, is pursued and killed. Lincoln becomes a martyr for union and abolition.
Saturn rules governmental authority and structure. Pluto rules death and hidden conspiracy. Their aspects manifest as the assassination of a leader at the moment of his greatest achievement (ending slavery, preserving union). Pluto's hidden killer (Booth) strikes Saturn's authority (president). Lincoln's death becomes Plutonian transformation of his legacy.
