Drew Peterson believes that Illinois State Police should apologize for casting “a huge cloud of suspicion” on him by previously stating that his wife Stacy Peterson is “missing and presumed dead.”

Peterson’s request for an apology came via a press release issued Tuesday. The release points to an unrelated case where Judith Bello, a Washington woman, had been presumed dead as she had been missing for the past 18 years, but was recently discovered to be alive, living in California earlier this month. . .

Peterson has been jailed on $20 million bail since 2009 in connection with the 2004 murder of Kathleen Savio, his third wife who was found dead in a dry bathtub in 2004, and is a suspect in the disappearance of Stacy, his fourth wife. Stacy was last seen on October 28, 2007, and friends and loved ones have said she told them she had feared for her life.

Well let’s compare the cases and the charts of Judith Bello’s and Stacey Peterson and see what if anything they have in common.

The woman explained that she left because of serious problems with her husband. She didn’t reach out to her family because she was scared of the man and worried he would cause problems for her siblings

There is one similarity between the two cases. Both women were afraid for their lives.

If we were to say Judith was born in the evening we would say that Venus in Scorpio acted as a trigger planet to her moon activating a desire to preserve herself through secret actions.

Without a direct connection to Pluto it just would be really hard to say that Judith Bello had died about that time. As it turns out, she did not.

This charting is entirely different. The event chart shows a grand cross in mutable signs involving Pluto/Jupiter, Venus, the Moon and Uranus. Pluto/Jupiter shows the husband (Jupiter) as the arbiter of transformation (Pluto) challenging Venus and opposite the moon, both symbols of the female in the chart. Uranus is sudden and unexpected events, and also divorce which Stacey was reportedly contemplating.

Now look to see Stacey’s Venus conjunct Pluto in the event chart and her Mars/Pluto conjunction connecting with the event chart Sun. Looking at this chart you would conclude that Stacey, unfortunately has passed on.

Both women were afraid for their lives. Only one made it out of her marriage alive.

Karen Swift Missing Poster

The body of Karen Swift was found just two miles from her Tennessee home, nearly six weeks after the 44-year-old mother was reported missing. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge John Mehr told CNN that the body was discovered Saturday in Dyer County, near Bledsoe Cemetery.

Swift was last seen at 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 30.

Karen Swift had been to a Halloween party at the Dyersburg Country Club-The Farms on the Saturday evening, Oct. 29. She reportedly arrived home sometime after midnight after picking up one of her daughters from a sleepover because she did not feel well. Box stated David Swift allegedly spoke with Karen Swift briefly in the stairwell after she and the child were inside the house. Authorities allege David Swift told them he awoke the next morning (Sunday, Oct. 30) and could not find his wife and tried calling her cell phone with no answer. Soon afterward, a neighbor called David Swift to tell him Karen Swift’s SUV was on Millsfield Highway. He is then alleged to have called one of their sons in Arkansas to see if he could reach Karen Swift, but to no avail. David Swift is then reported to have called some of Karen Swift’s friends to see if they had seen her. At 2:37 p.m., a friend of Karen Swift’s called the Dyer County Sheriff’s Department and notified them she was missing and the dispatcher advised her that David Swift should call and give details. He is then reported to have called the sheriff’s department and given them details about what was going on.

Why Karen Swift would leave her home in the early morning hours of October 30 has not been answered. Why her clothes were found in bushes next to the abandoned SUV while her Halloween Costume was found in the car is a mystery. Why her husband (albeit estranged) would not become immediately concerned and go out to the SUV abandoned a half mile away is a quandry. But what is clear is that Karen Swift was murdered.

Missing since before Halloween, she was found 6 weeks later after intensive searches of the surrounding area. Astrologically, where she was found is an eye opener.

In the illustration below, the last seen chart is used in the center wheel. We have a date, a time and a location, so this chart is the one to use. The outside wheel is the birth chart of Karen Swift. While we do have her birth time, leaving us without a correct Moon sign, it is tempting to believe she was born in the early morning hours giving her a Cancer Moon conjunct her Jupiter. Even so she has Venus inconjunct (in stress aspect) to that Cancer Jupiter, so this is a woman who has a strong compunction to fulfill her maternal duties, even if her Aquarian Sun, Mercury and Venus would give her a strong desire for freedom in her life. This Jupiter/Venus aspect would be the reason why her friends say she would not leave her children. This strong Cancer element would also lead you to wonder why, once home after a late night drive to retrieve her child she would leave the house again. Those with a strong Cancer drive have a desire to return to and stay in the home.

The planet of trouble sits on the ascendant. Mars is the planet of action. Mars is opposite her Venus, so something has to happen. What happened we’ll leave to Law Enforcement. With her remains found they should figure out quickly enough who did it and why.

But where her body was found is a different study, one that applies to the experimental map technique I’ve blogged about.

In the experimental map technique, you need to flip the chart so that the bottom is now on top. This is because all astrological charts are drawn with South at the top, while North is at the bottom. Flipping the chart puts North at the top, where we are used to seeing it.

In the flipped chart we see Karen Swift’s natal Saturn in left hand side of the chart, west of her home (signified by the A marker in the illustration). Saturn represents the body in forensic astrology. It is seen conjunct her natal Chiron and these two planets sit conjunct the planet of the unexpected, Uranus in the event chart. Most synchronously the event chart Mars is 23 degrees, her natal Saturn is 25 degrees of the sign it occupies. Chiron is 22 degrees and her natal Jupiter is 28 degrees. The description of where her body was found has been reported as “over two miles” and “two and half miles” from her home, while Google maps identifies the location as 2.8 miles away.

The astrology shows us quite clearly where her body was found. Hopefully Law Enforcement will wrap us this case with an arrest.

Karen Swift Event Chart

(True Crime and Astrology)Three different timelines printed in separate sources provide a more complete detail of the events of the day Lisa Irwin went missing from her home. The timelines from “family sources” differ in details, while the third is a more objective one taken from multiple media reports.

Though the parents of Lisa Irwin remain silent, and the KS police department step down their involvement in this high profile case, new people step forward with their stories. The gaps in the timeline fill in and we can move astrologically through the last day Lisa Irwin was at home with her family.

These new clues emerged weeks after the reported abduction.

In a previous post this astrologer wrote of that in my opinion whatever happened to Lisa happened well before the reported abduction. This is based on the trigger event of the moon changing signs and conjoining the planet of transformation Pluto at around 4:30 AM. Let’s take a look of the day astrologically and see what may have happened on the day before Lisa Irwin was reported missing.

The astrological players

The Sun = Deborah Bradley Reason: The 4:30 AM chart is a “night” chart and in a night chart, the Sun cab represent a woman in authority. In addition Mercury, Saturn, and Venus sit along side Sun. These planets seems to represent the three children in Deborah Bradley’s care.

The Moon = Lisa Irwin. Reason: According to The Rulership Book by Rex E. Bills the moon can represent an infant.

Jupiter = Jeremy Irwin. Reason: Jupiter often represents the husband and father

The Timeline

Early Morning October 3, 2011

The fourth house is often called the house of endings, so the moon conjoining Pluto, the planet of transformation (or some say death) is especially poignant. Note too that the Dark Moon Lilith is (glyph is reversed moon over cross of matter) in the eighth house of death and transformation. Lilith’s bad rap in the ancient world is that she killed young babies in their cribs. Lilith is directly opposite the Venus, which is the planet for a female in forensic astrology. Lilith is in Aries, which would make for rash, impulsive moves, or anger and/or aggression against the victim.

We see in this chart a stress aspect (the green line) from the Sun to Jupiter. This indicates that there is stress between the mother and the father or with the friendly aspect (sextile) from Jupiter to Neptune deception.

Also notice the Sun is in opposition to Uranus, the planet of accidents, and both these planets challenge, which astrologers call a square (black lines) aspect to the Moon/Pluto combination.

The precipitating event could have happened at this time.

In any case at around 5:30 AM the Sun moves from house two to house one, so Deborah gets up and puts Lisa to her crib.

7:19 AM–Jupiter, representing Jeremy has moved out the eighth house in in the seventh so by this time he is out of the house and at his first shift job.

Jupiter is in the fourth house of the home indicating that the father is home.

Neighbors are represented by the third house, the planet Mercury and the zodiac sign of Gemini. Here we see Jupiter sitting with the Part of Fortune in the third house in challenge aspect to Mars (the planet of troubles) on the doorway (cusp) of the seventh house of marriage.

Jupiter is in the third house of children, so Jeremy is alone with the children. The Sun has migrated into the eighth house, which governs among other things, addictions. Deborah feels the need for some “adult time” and she and her brother head off to the store to facilitate it.

4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. –Agreeing to a trial separation James Brando leaves home with some of his belongings. He reportedly spends the night on a friend’s couch

5:00 Deborah and her brother Phillip Netz return from the store and the consumption of alcohol starts. This is not specifically mentioned in anyone’s timeline of events, however in my opinion, there would be no need to for Brando (see 6:00) to go out an hour later and buy additional alcohol if they cracked that box open at 6:30 as family sources state.

The Sun actually crosses from the eighth to the seventh at 5:21 PM. Most likely this is when Deborah and Phillip arrive home.

5 to 5:30 (Conflicting reports) Either Netz leaves the Irwin home or he goes inside to sleep inside the Irwin home.

5:30 p.m. – (Approx.) Irwin family, Samantha, her 4-year-old daughter eat dinner prepared by Deborah (KCTV 5)

Jeremy Irwin reportedly leaves for the side job at Starbucks.

Deborah comes in; Jeremy leaves. I doubt he ate dinner at that time.

However what does happen at 5:49 is that Mars, the planet of trouble, crosses over in the fifth house doorway (cusp). The fifth house represents children but also bedrooms and relaxation. In terms of people the fifth house represents brothers and uncles. It may be that Phillip Netz, Lisa’s brother, did not leave but rather went inside and laid down for a nap.

6:00 Brando leaves to purchase additional alcohol.

6:30 PM-The neighbor’s 4 year old daughter reports seeing baby Lisa “apparently safe” (as the family source said.) (Sorry, a four year old’s statement isn’t reliable enough to cite)

Click to enlarge

In a previous post, I stated that I thought Deborah and Jeremy had an argument at that time. This is because there is a lot of movement now in the chart. Uranus is on the cusp of the ascendant. The Moon/Pluto combo sits at the midheaven, the brightest part of the chart. The Sun with the stellium of children sit at the cusp of the seventh. As astrologers say, “Everything happens at the angles!” But if Jeremy is not home, and the cell phones shut off, there wouldn’t be an argument. But something is happening.

We do see the Part of Fortune moving into the third house of neighbors. This looks like Shane Beagley came to the house at this time.

Brando and Bradley continue to drink, smoke and chat on Bradley’s front porch with Shane Beagley.

6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

Neighbor Shane Beagley now says he was at the Irwin-Bradley home in the hours before baby Lisa is said to have disappeared, according to media reports. As described by the Examiner, Beagley claims to have smoked and chatted with Bradley and her next-door-neighbor Samantha Brando on Bradley’s front stoop from about 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. He left the Bradley house about 8:30 p.m. or 9 p.m., he told CNN correspondent Jim Spellman. He also claims to have seen Brando at her own home at 10:30 and says he didn’t see Bradley at that time. Beagley said he didn’t see baby Lisa and no one went inside to check on the kids during the hours he was present.

8:30 p.m. or 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Shane Beagley leaves.

At 8:45 The south node in Gemini (remember Gemini rules neighbors) moves from the second house to the first. Shane leaves the Irwin/Bradley home.

-She believes she checked on Baby Lisa but is unsure, possibly because of the alcohol.
-Lights go out

10:30 p.m. Deborah reportedly goes to bed. Light goes out at Deborah Bradley’s house.

11:30 p.m. – Samantha goes inside after having been outside drinking with Shane; says everything looked normal, lights were out at Bradley/Irwin home, believes abduction had to have happened after that (KCTV 5)

Note:–No one sees or hears anything unusual at the Bradley/Irwin home. Bradley’s dog, a black lab, who would normally bark at anyone she does not know does not bark.

11:57 an outbound call is made from Deborah’s Bradley phone.

Most frustrating are the shifting stories of Lisa’s parents. At first we were told Deborah Bradley, Lisa’s mother, last checked on the child at 10:30 PM. Then after video was displayed on national media of Deborah buying a box of wine, she recanted that story, saying she put Lisa, a child supposedly suffering from a cold, at bed at 6:40 PM, and then drinking enough wine that she went to bed so drunk she couldn’t remember the details of the night.

Deborah Bradley was untruthful in her initial statements to police. As observed in other blogs the emphasis for this family changed early on from doing what they can to find Lisa to protecting Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin. We can not count on “last seen” statements from Bradley or Irwin because they appear to have their, not Lisa’s interests at stake.

So what is left for astrological analysis? The phone call from Deborah Bradley’s an outbound call is made from Deborah’s Bradley phone. phone at 11:57 PM. Regardless of who made this call it has telling details about Lisa Irwin’s fate.

This chart has the Moon in Capricorn just crossing the seventh house cusp. As stated before, the Moon represents an infant. Interestingly, the asteroid “Child” sits conjunct with the moon at that time. So the Moon represents Lisa. The seventh house represents among other things, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles in a woman’s chart and losses and bereavement through death, opponents and out in the open enemies.

Capricorn gives clues about the location of Lisa at this time. While Capricorn represents cribs, it also represents cold, dark places and barren, stoney or fallow fields. It can also represent basements and places that are hard to reach, unpleasant to find or unpleasant to smell. Capricorn represents the south wall of a room and places where wood is cut or piled.

The degrees the Moon and Saturn, which are conjunct, add to 15. Coincidentally:

. . . the FBI shared with them about the cell phone ping locations. According to Picerno Deborah’s phone never got further than 1/5 to 1/3 of a mile from the house

.
Is the baby 1/5 of a mile, 1.5 miles or 15 miles from her home?

The moon at the cusp of the seventh house indicates a direction due west of where Lisa might be found; in a cold, dark an barren place that is unpleasant to find.

Lisa Irwin

The disappearance of 10 month old Lisa Irwin baffles. Put to bed by her mother reportedly at 10:30 PM, she was not in her crib when her father came home from work at 4:00 AM and found the front door and windows open, and all the lights on in the house. Alarmed he checks n this order, the boy’s room, children of a previous relationship of Lisa’s mom, and then Lisa’s room, who reportedly has a small cold, where he finds the child missing. He then goes to Lisa’s mom, Deborah Bradley and tells her that Lisa is not in her crib.

“I said, `What do you mean she is not in her crib?’” said Bradley, who had checked on her daughter about five hours earlier. “I just knew, you know, that something was really wrong. We ran around the house and screaming for her, but she was nowhere.”

The parents search the house calling for Lisa, and unable to find her, decide to call the police. Three cell phones, left on the kitchen counter while Lisa’s mom was reprogramming them, were not there. Irwin and Bradley (Lisa’s mother) speculate that the abductor took the phones to keep them from calling the police. This plan apparently failed because by 5:00 AM police were knocking on neighbor’s doors looking for Lisa.

Several days later the police have declared that they have done all they can do in a geographic search and have pulled back their command center less than a mile from Irwin’s house . The speculation by the parents that the abductor entered and left by a window goes unconfirmed by the police who say that there is no sign of forced entry.

Earlier reports that a man was seen carrying a baby in a diaper have been unconfirmed. Lisa’s mother reports that she put Lisa to bed in purple top with kittens on them and a pair of purple pants.

Reports from Bradley’s family say the police in questioning Bradley and Irwin have focused their efforts on Bradley, telling her she failed a lie detector test. The police say the parents are not suspects but that the parents have stopped cooperating. The parents, through a family spokesperson deny this, though they no longer want to speak to detectives.

So what can astrology tell us?

One of the best ways to see what happened is to follow the day of the people of question through the use of astrology charts. This astrologer uses IO’s Star Sprite program which advances the position of the planets and the houses minute by minute. Another view is gathered from the “last seen” chart. We will take a look at that first.

Click to enlarge

In the last seen chart Gemini is rising. Gemini deals with children.

The last seen chart is night chart, with the Sun below the horizon. In a night chart, the planet in the in the fourth house represents the mother. That the planet is “traditionally” a male planet, the Sun, doesn’t matter. The Sun here represents Bradley sitting in the fourth house of the home. Next to the Sun is Mercury, Saturn, and Venus all in the fifth house of children.

Jupiter is in eleventh house, Neptune on the cusp of the 10th. The tenth house is the house of career. With Neptune there, something is not quite right, something not quite truthful. Jupiter (representing the father) is in the house of “friends and associates”. Jupiter is square Mars and trines Pluto.

Come to find out that this is the one and only time that Irwin works a night shift, the night his daughter disappears.

Meanwhile, Lisa’s mother is a home dealing with two boys and a baby who has a cold. I don’t know about you, but this astrologer remembers of her baby days that when a baby has a cold, nobody sleeps. But is Lisa ill?

Chiron is at the top of the last seen chart and Lisa’s Mercury and Mars are in Sagittarius in the sixth house of health squaring that Chiron, so yes, we are dealing with an ill child.

But blithely, no one seems to be dealing with a ten month old with a respiratory illness.

In fact when Bradley goes to sleep, she lets the youngest boy and a newly found stray kitten into her bed not her ill daughter.

Now two weeks after her child was allegedly abducted from her home, Deborah Bradley admits that she was drunk the night Lisa went missing and that the time she last saw her child was four hours prior to the original time she reported to the police.

Indeed the last seen chart shows the moon (governing infants) and Pluto, the planet of transformation in the seventh house. This combination had already passed through the eighth house of death between 8:30 and 9:40 PM.

When examining the last seen chart we look for astrological triggers, planets forming an aspect, planets changing signs, planets moving into a significant house.

The last seen chart with the time of 10:30 is suspect since the timing of the 10:30 chart does not tie in with any astrological triggers. Everything, whatever that everything was, happened before 10:30 PM.

Click to enlarge

This chart is interesting. Pluto and the moon are at the midheaven; Uranus, the planet of the unexpected at the ascendant. However the moon has already moved past Pluto’s position. The Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Venus stellium is in the seventh house. In addition Jupiter, representing the father was in the first house, Mars, the planet of trouble was in the fifth house of children in challenge aspect to Jupiter and Mars was inconjunct the Moon/Pluto combination. Was this the time that something happened to Lisa? Not likely since the Moon had moved past Pluto signifying that whatever happened already did. An alternate scenario is that a quarrel (planets in seventh house) opposite Uranus, and sextile Mars broke out between Irwin and Bradley.

Bradley bought the box of wine she claims she got drunk on at around 5:00 PM. She also bought baby wipes and baby food. Travel time is about 15 minutes from home. So maybe coming straight home she would have arrived and entered the house at around 5:30 PM.

For some reason Jeremy is not at work during the day. He will go to work shortly, but not before he and Deborah has the argument.

Neptune and Chiron, signifying Lisa’s illness has dipped into the twelfth house, the house of concealment. The argument may have been about how to conceal what happened to Lisa.

This is another last seen chart that is not a last seen chart. It is a significant chart as it fleshes out details of what may have happened at that time.

Fast moving bodies are usually trigger for events, and this case the fast moving body is the moon. The moon changed signs from Sagittarius into Capricorn, closely conjunct Pluto. This happened at 3:40 AM while Pluto and the moon were in the fifth house of children. At 4:16 AM the Moon and Pluto cross over into the 4th house, literally Pluto at the doorstep of the house of the home. At the same time Uranus, the planet of the unexpected crosses the eighth house cusp. Did something happen to Lisa at this time?

And is this the reason that Jeremy Irwin did not go to work at his regular time?

Neptune and Chiron are in sixth house of health, Mars, the planet of trouble is in the twelfth house.

Bradley and Irwin’s lawyer claims that grief is causing the inconsistencies in Bradley’s story. However, the astrology shows clearly that the events of the day are not as reported by Deborah Bradley.

Only two weeks after the Lisa’s disappearance a Grand Jury is convened to examine the evidence of the case. Certainly there are more details to piece together the events of the day Lisa Irwin went missing from her parent’s home. Hopefully soon, the truth will come out.

Alice Davis as distributed by Wicomico County Sheriff Department

Her husband reported her missing after only hour and half gone to a shopping trip to Walmart. But from the beginning there were questions.

[Her sister] Barrie Tilghman believes something is amiss with the husband’s story that his wife went shopping Sunday evening. “For her to leave the house at that time of the day is counter-intuitive to Alice’s personality,” Tilghman said. “I’ve never known Alice to go to Walmart at 6:30 at night.

Police found her car in the Big Lots parking lot across the street from Walmart, but surveillance tapes didn’t show her at either store. In fact, the husband, Jesse Davis was seen to get out of the car at Big Lots.

As the search of Alice Davis, popular English teacher at Parkview High School just starting her 29th year there ratcheted up, Wicomico Sheriff’s Department eyed Jesse Davis as a suspect.

“Jess Davis initiated a deliberate, calculated and continuous course of deception and fabrication surrounding the disappearance of his wife,” Lewis said at a Thursday press conference, according to WBOC News.

Wicomico Bureau of Investigation (WBI) detectives questioned her husband, Jesse Davis, all week about her disappearance and possible whereabouts, and each time the story was a little different. According to reports, Jesse Davis had gaps in his memory about the events leading up to his wife’s disappearance and the discovery of her vehicle and personal belongings in a parking lot in Fruitland.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office held a press conference announcing foul play was suspected in her disappearance and the investigation was now considered criminal in nature. Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis stopped short of naming any suspects in the disappearance, but it became apparent Jesse Davis had become more than just a person of interest.

But as they prepared to serve a serve warrant at Jesse and Alice’s home, a horrible discovery was made. Jesse Davis was found dead of an apparent suicide four days after he reported his wife missing.

Sadly the body of Alice Davis was found and identified a little more than a week after her reported disappearance.

Davis’ body was discovered by congregation members at about 5 p.m. Sunday in a wooded area behind the Supreme Council of the House of Jacob Church, about a quarter of a mile from the road, according to police.
The church is located a little more than seven miles from the Davis home on Allen Road.

The Wicomico County Sheriff’s department says they have evidence which lead them to believe Alice’s husband killed her, but they don’t say what and they do not mention a motive.

What can astrology tell us about the death of Alice Davis?

Alice was last seen by some friends in her home about 3:00 PM Sunday, so this is the time stamp used for the event chart. We know from police reports Alice’s date of birth, but we do not know the time so we can not comment on her ascendant or the moon position. Her chart is set for sunrise.

In the chart displayed the event chart is the center chart because it has a reliable time. Alice’s chart is the outer wheel.

In the event chart second house of money the Moon is in Aquarius with a Neptune and Chiron opposite Mercury. This indicates unreliability and problems in money matters. Alice’s Jupiter, the planet of “way too much” and Pluto sit on this Mercury, the planet of communications and commerce.

This Pluto connection to Mercury is an interesting thing.. Alice’s Mercury falls on transiting Pluto and her Pluto falls on transiting Mercury. And her Pluto and Jupiter is in the event chart’s eight house of other people’s money, which includes, among other things, insurance money.

We see that Alice has Venus in Capricorn, a placement that is careful with money and assets. Yet there is serious financial drain indicated by Chiron both in Alice’s chart and the event chart on the family coffers. Alice’s sister reports that Alice told her they decided to put the house up for sale.

As a teacher of 28 years, Alice could have some formidable assets piled up and one of them might be an insurance policy. Can it be that Alice’s husband was eyeing such assets to bail him out of financial trouble?

As to the placement of Alice’s body, the event chart sends us right there, with Saturn on the Midheaven degrees pointing due south. Adding the degrees of Saturn gets you seven miles and the seconds add up to 5 indicating the half mile off the road where her body was found.

It’s a chilling story all the way around.

Our condolences go out to the Davis family as they deal with this tragedy.

The police peg Lauren’s absolutely independently verified last seen time at 2:51 AM, June 3, 2011, from surveillance camera, though they were not entirely forthcoming immediately on this information. Media kept putting out Lauren’s last seen time at 4:30 AM, the time one of her friends insist he saw her going around the corner towards her apartment building.

Readers here know that my belief is that Lauren died around 4:14 AM, so I wouldn’t use a last seen chart for 4:30 AM. However, Rose at Forensic Astrology did. While we differ in our conclusions there are things in her and mine interpretations that are similar and she does have some interesting observations. The important thing is not who is right or wrong but getting information that will help bring this case to a swift conclusion.

I do not believe Lauren was abducted, (though I always say I could be wrong) while Rose believes Lauren was abducted by someone who knew her well. I had written:

One thing that sticks out in the event charts of that evening is that following the Venus/Mars combination is Mercury representing a young man or two young men that follows Venus/Mars. This looks like some sort of stalking activity, that someone is watching Spierer and noting her movements.

Rose concludes:

Notice in the chart how Mars is just ahead of Venus. Venus is in her dignity in the first house so it shows Lauren moving along of her own free will. This person (Mars) is behind her along the same path. Mars in Taurus is disposed of by Venus so this person was waiting for her and this was not random. She was definitely “targeted”.

Here Rose uses Mars as a symbol of the perpetrator. This can be a very valid conclusion and can not be dismissed easily. However, I believe it is important to take each chart on a case by case basis. The symbols for the personal planets, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus have many meanings. Readers will note that I have interpreted Mars as a symbol for the man she was walking with Corey Rossman, who on his own is a whole lot of trouble but is not the perpetrator. I will note that I’ve been taken to task offline for this conclusion.

While I used the transiting Midheaven to track Lauren’s movements, Rose uses a technique based on the movement of the houses to track the movements of the victim and the victim’s body. This a very interesting technique on its own and can be very useful.

Rose tells us:

“In this same chart, for 6 am (shown below), Saturn has moved into the fifth house, showing the dead body to be in some body’s bedroom. Saturn is in Libra so this is on the second floor of the house (“up in the air”). Aquarius rules the tenth so this is a “community” of some sort with two story structures and lots of tech devices like satellite dishes, ham radio antennas, lightning rods, outdoor lighting systems, rooftop helicopter pads, HDTV antennas, Digital long range TV antennas, etc… There may be an airport or airstrip nearby or a train depot or train tracks that run nearby. It may be a private type community where you have to be a “member”, which is typical of Aquarius. Uranus is in Aries in the eleventh, adding a few new descriptors. Aries would describe newly turned ground so there may be new construction in the area or in the community. Aries also describes hilly ground so perhaps there are hills in the area or a single hill somewhere in the road leading into the community. Aries also describes entrances so I am thinking a hill near the entrance. Aries also rules ceilings, roofs and walls so there is a chance that he actually hid her body in the walls of his home.”

We do know there is construction nearby the place Lauren was last seen, in back of Corey Rossman’s apartment, in fact. Rose goes on to tell us that later Lauren is moved to another location, though she says, using the zodiac signs as a guide, in a direction North by Northwest. While this is the opposite direction of what I’ve concluded though it is interesting to note that she says the distance is less than ten miles from the event location.

Rose’s interpretation is not for the faint of heart, but I think the timeline of the movement of Lauren’s body is a very interesting one and merits study. It may also be a useful timeline for LE to use in pegging the movements of the persons of interest against this timeline to see possibly if anything sticks out.

Saturn points South

I have found that in many cases, but not all, the position of Saturn indicates the body, and the degrees on the planets connected with Saturn can indicate the number of miles the body is transported to the last location. The zodiac sign the Saturn is in may be an indicator the type of place in which body would be found.

The first chart displayed is the inverted event chart of June 03, 2011, 4:14 AM, Bloomington, Indiana overlaid on a map of the region.

Holly Wimunc’s body was found approximately 95 miles from her home in Fayetteville, NC, taken from her apartment off base to Fort Lejeune where her Marine husband was stationed. The event Saturn indicated direction of the location: adding the degrees of the planets from Pluto (excluding the Ascendant) to the Saturn/Mars combination of that day adds up to 95 the number of miles. She was found buried in a wetland a short way from the house where her husband lived. The Saturn was in Virgo.

On the other hand, the body of Somer Thompson, a young girl that was abducted in Florida on her way walking home from school, it was the girl’s own Natal Saturn that pointed the way to where her body would be found, 57 miles from home, dumped in a landfill. The perpetrator had put her body in a dumpster, and if wasn’t for the intuitive insights of the detective working the case, her body might not have been found. Adding the degrees of Saturn, Venus and Uranus gives us the number 57, the rough amount of miles where Somer was found.

And then again, Yale grad student Annie Le was found hidden in the basement of the building where she was murdered. In the last seen chart of Annie Le, transiting Pluto was a 0 degrees conjunct her Neptune at the Midheaven. When placed inside the houses of the event chart, Annie Le’s Pluto sat in the eighth house. Her Pluto was 01 degrees Scorpio, while her Saturn sits in eighth house event chart at 21 degrees Scorpio. The Last Seen Chart with Pluto in Capricorn was especially indicative because the 0 degrees essentially displayed her body was not moved and the zodiac sign Capricorn is indicative, according to Deb Houlding, Skyscript, “of places low to the ground”.

When we place Lauren’s natal planets in the event chart of June 03, 2011, 4:14 AM, Bloomington, Indiana, Lauren’s Saturn in the sign of Capricorn sits in the 10th house. Her Pluto sits within 7 degrees of the 7th house cusp. Should we give weight then the planet sitting closes to the midheaven, or the planet at the seventh house cusp? Traditional astrology tells us the midheaven is the brightest place in our charts.

Here Lauren Saturn is in Capricorn, the zodiac sign of places low to the ground. But there is the North Node, the Sun and Neptune all in close proximity to that Saturn and if you add up those degrees you get 95, a whole lot of miles to be traveled if she was taken by the perpetrators somewhere. This seems unlikely in the timeline of events. None of the people she was with seem to have disappeared for up to four hours and suddenly reappeared, unless there is something the police haven’t told us which is possible.

With transiting Pluto in Capricorn and with Lauren’s Saturn in Capricorn then Capricorn places are where to look. Deb Houlding of her Skyscript website shares with us a summary places assigned to Capricorn:

“Capricorn–As an earth sign Capricorn signifies farms, farming equipment, wood stores and places where farm animals roam. It is also said to specifically rule over fallow or bare land, barren fields, land that is bushy and thorny, or where there are dunghills, compost heaps or soil prepared with manure. Like all earth signs it indicates locations that are low down, either near or on the ground. It particularly signifies low dark places. Traditionally, it is said to signify a place where sails for ships and such materials are stored.

Capricorn shares Saturn’s dominion over boundaries, thresholds and all structures that divide and contain rooms and territory; from walls, garden fences, gateposts and international borders. As the sign that signifies mid-winter it also shares Saturn’s signification over mausoleums, churchyards and ruins. Inside the house it is a low dark corner, on or near the floor, doors, closed in or confined spaces, earthy objects and those associated with waste disposal.”

So these leads us in the directions the police and other searchers have been looking, farmland, open fields, dumpsters and dump sites.

My thinking is that Lauren was placed in a dumpster. I know, Law Enforcement said they did a thorough search of the dumpsters, but perhaps the dumpster was emptied before they thought that “foul play” was involved. If the dumpster theory is correct then the landfill that services her area, according the best information I could get from Google, is about 9.5 miles south of Rossman’s apartment, taking the route mapped by Mapquest. Lauren’s Saturn position does seem to indicate a direction pointing due South and if you add the number of degrees in her Saturn position 2+7 you get 9. The seconds of that Saturn position are 55, seemingly to emphasize that number.

But then again, you can’t discount all those other planets that added together totals 95. Either 9.5 miles to 95 miles south. This is where the planets point us to look for Lauren Spierer.
