For little Trenton Duckett, his mom unfortunately is seen in his chart at the conception of this child; with an inherited vibration of 9 degree Virgo, or conjunct fixed star “Alioth”,
The death star or “Black Horse”star.
This position came up on another chart as being termed the “Body in the ditch degree”
If all else supports and confirms this potential happening, then this placement can be deadly.
For Trenton, Mercury conjuncts the conception cusp of the 9th house conj. “Alioth”
And therefore symbolizes a very critical state of mind for the mother because it IS Mercury (the lower mind)
Was she suicidal even then, when Trenton was conceived? The Sun & Moon are well aspected, so the parents conceived him in love with this harmonious aspect, however
The fact that Mercury lies at this degree, on the cusp of the conception house, we would have to wonder about her state of mind even then in 2004 (late 2003)
We see the Sun in the natal conjunct the Vertex in the “inheritance ” or 8th house
As well as a critical Mars conjunct “Regulus” the fixed star which opposes Uranus in the 2nd house (erratic behaviors)of both the mother and father. After all the father is symbolized by the Sun, but the inheritance of vibrations in the fetal state is from the biological support of the mother.
It was reported that the couple didn’t get along too well, and waited until Trenton was almost one year of age to actually marry each other. So it’s interesting to see that
Juno is conj. the Ascendent, and trine to Mercury (that critical planet) marriage and commitment was very important to Melinda Duckett.
But at one year of age, Trenton’s natal Uranus in the 2nd would have “registered” for him, thus the mother’s pre-conception troubling mindset, (the inherited 8th house)
Negative vibrations of that fixed star “Alioth”, likewise, registered and the stage was set for the finality of his life (Alioth – i.e. “body in the ditch”…. And it wouldn’t be long in coming.
Employing the Tad Mann approach of seeing the parents (mostly the mother) in the natal as to her mental and emotional state while conceiving and surrounding the conception of this child:
Was the father involved with another woman?
Sun conj. Vertex in the 8th Hs. same degree in this pre-conception house.
Suggests something kept the marriage from occurring on time prior to the baby’s birth.
There are more indicators of
the mother’s obsessions and mental illnesses seen in the child’s conception chart and natal – such as
Pluto in the 12th Quindecile to Venus in the 6th on the cusp of the 7th.
Pluto (obsessive and controlling) quindeciles Venus within one degree to exact, and
Also
opposes the Moon (mother) i.e. feelings and emotions….in this chart.
The chart is showing me the mother quite clearly as the unfortunate woman had been even much prior to her death.
Pluto may have foreshadowed the death of this child, with the square to Jupiter in the 9th (the conception house)
Of course it’s always easier to see these potential problems after the fact then before,or at least to pinpoint, exactly how something might turn out, albeit we could see that Trenton would have had the scars and vibrations that he inherited from being in the womb during this crucial prebirth gestation period.
There does appear to be another obsessive minor aspect, the Quindecile between Mars and Neptune as well.
His mother’s mental problems then should be traceable to that very critical Mercury at the cusp of the 9th, conj. Alioth and the Moon (mother) in Trenton’s chart – square to
Pluto and more then likely to Jupiter which is also square to Pluto.
Obsessions which went overboard in her mind.
Jupiter (overboard thoughts and reactions) quindecile to Uranus (erratic and strange)coupled with Mars (very critical conj.Regulus), Quindecile to Neptune (delusions) and obsessions.
The death of little Trenton, is easily seen then, by the transits over his 8th house of Death
And the NN approaching natal Atropos conj. “Scheat” or “misfortune in death”

If we had the birth time of Melinda, we could tell much more about her mental state possibly up to’and including her own suicide.
