The two key charts in any Missing Person case are the
Last Seen and the
Reported Missing to Police. The basic information uncovered in the Last Seen chart should be confirmed, and possibly expanded, by the Reported Missing chart.
In this case, little time elapsed between the two charts.
Lindsey Baum was
Last Seen on June 26, 2009 at 9:15 pm, a time we believe to be accurate. That chart clearly advised she had been kidnapped by an older man she likely knew, that she was taken by vehicle (likely car or truck), and that the outcome would be critical.
Approximately an hour and a half later, when Lindsey had not returned home, her mother filed a Missing Person Report with local police. Because the report was filed so soon after the Last Seen, none of the planets had changed degrees except for the MOON which traveled from the 6th degree of Virgo to the 7th. What
did change were the angles (ASCENDANT, DESCENDANT, MIDHEAVEN, IC) and the house cusps. These changes moved some of the planets' house positions. Additionally, some but not all of the pertinent Arabic Parts shifted positions because many of these are based on position of the ASCENDANT.
I found very little new information in the Reported Missing chart --- other than tragic confirmation that a murder had or was about to take place.
05 Aquarius, a degree of homicide, rises. SUN, the principle of Life is also in the 5th degree (as it was in the Last Seen chart). MERCURY, the significator of the 5th House Child, remains in critical degree, 17 mutable. Chillingly, the 17th degree of Gemini is also a degree of homicide.
In this chart, PHAETHON the car is exactly conjunct the 5th House of the Child cusp, confirming what we saw in the Last Seen. Most unfortunately, MERCURY the Child has slipped into the radix 4th House of Endings / turned 12th House of Misfortune, Sorrow & Woe. EROS the sexual compulsion is now partile square MERCURY the Child and has just passed exact opposition to SATURN the perp.
VULCANUS the Transneptunian associated with explosive force that erupts with unstoppable power, is partile conjunct Lindsey's Secondary Progressed SUN and parallel Event Chart MERCURY the Child (parallels act as conjunctions).
Additionally, the Part of Rape at 00:00 Capricorn is conjunct PLUTO (abductors, rapists) and quindecile MERCURY the Child. The quindecile is an extreme, out-of-control stress aspect and with MERCURY the Child already in critical degree, it is heartbreaking to even begin to imagine what she may have undergone...
The Part of Death 28:15 Aquarius is close conjunct the EQ (a secondary ASCENDANT) foreshadowing dire harm to the body (Ascendant). As in the Last Seen chart, PLUTO at 01 Capricorn is in Fateful Degree (same degree as the NODES), always foretelling catastrophe, tragedy or fatality. Additionally, the MIDHEAVEN itself is now in Fateful Degree, having moved from its previous position of 8 Scorpio, partile conjunct the PLUTO/CERES midpoint (kidnapping).
In the Last Seen chart, ALCYONE the Weeping Sisters (always giving something to cry about) was conjunct the 5th House Cusp of the Child. Now, ALCYONE (00 Gemini) is close conjunct the End of the Matter 4th House Cusp which itself is partile conjunct TORO, the Asteroid of Brutality.
At the time of the Missing Person Report, it was still a VENUS Day and a VENUS Hour, highlighting that planet & its testimony above all others. Recall that VENUS was End of the Matter Lord 4 in the Last Seen. Now, she is posited in House 3 (the Near Neighborhood
or the vehicle), in critical degree (21 Fixed) partile conjunct the Part of Rage/Murder. Because VENUS as ruler of Taurus disposits herself, there is no way out...
21 minutes after this Missing Person Report time, the Hour Ruler changes to MERCURY, significator of the 5th House Child. With MERCURY the Child in critical degree, in a degree of homicide, and placed in the 4th House of Endings, this is most likely the hour of death: 11:12 - 11:52 pm, had it not already occurred.
At 11:52 pm on June 26, 2009 in McCleary, WA, the ASCENDANT would have moved to 01 Pisces --- the ominous Fateful Degree.
About all we can do now is try to figure out where the poor baby is so we can bring her home.
That and ID'ing the perp so he can get what he deserves...
