I'll admit I wondered whether we were making too big a deal of these computer searches. After all, there were only two searches found on KCs computer: one two days before her 22nd birthday, one two days after. The first search only lasted about 12 minutes. The second search another 12 minutes. Can we really deduce these two searches totaling approximately 25 minutes, disturbing as their content was, prove KC was premeditating murder?
Lets look at the insights provided by the Stars:
Chart 1: Computer Search on 3/17/08, 1:43 pm, Orlando, FL

At first glance the chart appears innocuous. Cancer rises. Mom, home, apple pie, all things domestic. Ruler Moon (KC) in 1st House. Shes exactly where she wants to be, at home (Cancer), entertaining herself (Moon in Leo), perhaps educating herself (Sun in 9th House of Higher Education) by running web searches on her computer (Uranus of computers in 9th House) about something thats caught her fancy (Sun in imaginative Pisces), maybe something shes seen on television (9th House of Mass Communication/ broadcasting/ television with Uranus of televisions within). After all, with Ascendant at 25:15 Cancer, the Sabian Symbol (26 Cancer because we always round up to the next degree) is People Reading on Sofas which connotes recreation, relaxation and enjoying ones favorite pleasure.
(Did you catch that, Jose? Theres your defense in a nutshell
)
A deeper look, however, is much more disturbing.
The Transneptunian VULCANUS at 24:07 Cancer closely conjuncts the Ascendant from the 12th House. This suggests emotional (Cancer) eruption (Vulcanus) and that KCs condition is that of a loose cannon.
KCs ruler MOON, located in the 1st House, is tightly conjunct the Part of Deceit at 8:12 Leo and opposite the Part of Death at 7:14 Aquarius. MOON (KC) is in crisis degree (9 Fixed), as is MERCURY, ruler of her 3rd House of Mindset, at 4 Mutable. Sickeningly, the Part of Child, Female is located between Chiron (wounding/damage) and Neptune (drugs), also in crisis degree, 21 Fixed.
In a forensic Horary chart, the Lights (Sun & Moon) give additional information about the 1st House person. I discussed above how KC may be seen as educating herself by running web searches about something that piqued her interest /caught her fancy which is shown by the SUN in Pisces (imagination, whims, fancy) in the 9th House of mass communications/ broadcasting/television. In looking deeper, we see SUN (representing KC) is in Fateful Degree --- same degree as the Nodes. This always points to a catastrophe, a tragedy or death. Additionally, the Part of Rage/Murder2 at 27:38 Pisces exactly conjuncts the SUN.
Things certainly do appear to be getting darker
The 3rd House shows a persons motivation/mindset. In this Chart, Virgo is on the 3rd House cusp making MERCURY the ruler of KCs mindset.
MERCURY is peregrine (aimless wandering), in Fall, in Detriment, in critical degree (4 Mutable), in imaginative, fantasy-prone Pisces in the 8th House of Death, closely conjunct VENUS, natural significator of a young girl. Furthermore, MERCURY (KCs thought process) conjunct VENUS (Caylee) is opposite the malefic South Node conjunct Saturn in the 2nd House of the Near Future, suggesting KC was in fact thinking about Caylees demise as she performed her disturbing web searches.
Thoughts of death by drugs (chloroform, etc.) seem likely with NEPTUNE (drugs) just inside the the 8th House cusp, and, as mentioned above, conjunct both the Part of Child, Female and Chiron (wounding/ damage). Also, the asteroid REQUIEM (death) is posited within KCs 3rd House of Mental Processes/ Thinking and at 05:53 Libra, it closely conjuncts Caylees natal MOON at 4 Libra.
In addition to analyzing VENUS as Caylees significator (VENUS as a young girl), in this Chart, since KC is the 1st House, her child is actually represented by the 5th House of Children, Scorpio which makes MARS the main significator of Caylee. Here, MARS (Caylee) is located in the radix 12th House / and her own turned 8th of Death. MARS (Caylee) at 4:46 Cancer is disposited by the MOON (KC) showing that little Caylee is completely in KCs power. The appearance of the malefic South Node conjunct Saturn (death) in the 2nd House of the Near Future opposite KCs mindset ruler MERCURY conjunct VENUS (natural significator of a young girl) in the radix 8th House of Death clinches what is on KCs mind: death of her child by drugs (MERCURY & VENUS in Deaths House with NEPTUNE (drugs) on the 8th House Cusp conjunct the Part of Child, Female).
I will discuss the second search chart in a later post.
