A natal (non-forensic) astrologer would never read Susan B.'s chart the way I am going to read it below. Moreover, such astrologer would surely be aghast at the harshness of the judgments pronounced.
But before any visiting natal astrologer has an apoplexy fit with fingers on the cell phone dial ready to report me to the Astrology Police, please keep in mind a caution I have repeated consistently throughout the cases discussed on this Forum:
Forensic astrology by its very nature is extremely black & white, often negative and harsh. What we do here is examine natal charts of perps, suspects and victims under a forensic astrological microscope, based on known facts & circumstances surrounding the players and the case. While it is certainly true that aspects, even harsh ones, can manifest positively as well as negatively, time after time we see the negative manifestations prevail in these cases we follow.
In Susan B.'s case, we know, factually, the following:
1. She babysat James Baker's young children Nina and Paul prior to the dissolution of Paul's marriage.
2. Susan and James B. had an affair while he was married.
3. James B. divorced his wife and married Susan, who then became stepmother to young Nina and Paul.
4. On 3/5/87, Susan asserted she put 3 year old Paul down for a nap and then dozed off herself. When she awoke, Paul was gone.
5.
Paul was never found.
6. Subsequent to Paul's disappearance, Susan was charged with child abuse towards Paul and Nina (then 6 years old), and assault & battery with intent to kill towards Nina. A Grand Jury did not return a true bill regarding Paul, but Susan was found guilty of abuse towards Nina and served 80 days of a 10 year sentence, and Nina was removed from the Baker home.
7. Susan B., being related to James Russell D., knew of Shannon's birth.
8. Susan B. reported severe abuse of Shannon by her parents to the authorities 2 weeks after Shannon was born. As a result, DCS personnel visited the Dedrick home on & off during the first 7 months of Shannon's life. They determined an 'intermediate' risk factor and allowed Shannon to stay with her parents.
9. Susan B. was Shannon's babysitter.
10. On October 31, 2009 Shannon's mother Tina M. secretly gave Shannon to Susan B. early in the morning, then later reported her missing.
11. Police discovered Shannon on Wednesday night, 11/4/09, at Susan B.'s home.
The baby, miraculously, was alive. She had been hidden under Susan B.'s bed, in a 2 x 3' cedar box with closed lid. The box contained baking soda to hide the smell of feces and urine.
12. Police arrested Susan B. and Shannon's mother Tina M.
=============================
Since March 1987 -- over 22 years -- Susan B., by her own documented and factual actions and inactions, has shown us, independent of astrology, how she has chosen to use her chart energy patterns. What the natal chart does is confirm what already has been clearly made known from the facts and circumstances surrounding the chart owner's life.
=============================
Susan B.'s natal chart cast for sunrise shows severe afflictions, including a severely afflicted SUN and a moderately afflicted MOON. In astrology, the SUN is the essence of who the chart owner is. The MOON indicates how the chart owner responds emotionally.
In this chart, both SUN and MERCURY square MARS and JUPITER, which oppose each other (a T-square formation). MOON (the emotional response pattern) is brought into this T-square pattern through her inconjunction to JUPITER. In addition, MARS inconjuncts SATURN, and squares PLUTO.
SUN is also opposite PLUTO, quindecile (165 degrees) URANUS and square CERES (the nurturing principle). CERES of nurturing is square CHIRON suggesting harm/damage to/by/through/from a caretaker/mother/babysitter, etc.
SUN, MOON, MERCURY and MARS all make harsh contacts with JUPITER. This suggests the chart owner has exaggerated (JUPITER) anger management issues, which are greatly compounded by a 'mean streak' of a most vicious nature (MOON opposite SATURN, MARS inconjunct SATURN, MARS square PLUTO, etc.). Additionally, this person is apt to 'fly off the handle' with SUN quindecile URANUS and MOON of emotional response semisquare URANUS. It does not take much to set her off...
One of the authorities interviewed after the recovery of baby Shannon described Susan B. as 'a wicked woman.'
The chart confirms.
We
know from factual, documented information that Susan B.
severely abused then-3 year old Paul and then-6 year old Nina back in 1987. We
suspect from both the facts and the astrology that she murdered little Paul, and we
suspect from both the facts and the astrology that she would have harmed and perhaps murdered little Shannon had the authorities not recovered her when they did.
Parents & Grandparents beware: you do
not want a person who owns a chart similar to Susan B.'s to babysit your children/ grandchildren....
Thanks,
