Saturn-Pluto: A Famous Aviator's Favorite Dictator

A Past Era in American History Remembered

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy in America

The natal horoscope of Charles Lindbergh III, aka, Jr, shows a dynamic T-Square of tragedy between his harsh Saturn-Pluto opposition squaring his setting Uranus in mid-Aries, with all three planets Angular (Pluto-MC/Saturn-IC). Those who practice or follow Forensic Astrology appreciate the significance of Angular planets especially when they turn up in death charts.

The difficult trio may be read as a midpoint picture, Saturn-Pluto = Uranus: acts of violence (R. Ebertin); an attack (N. Tyl). And as you know, the Saturn-Pluto duo suggests evil. Baby Lindbergh's Saturn-Pluto opposition began with the planetary duo's three conjunctions in 1914 and 1915 @00 to 3Cancer with the third conjunction hitting Anne Morrow Lindbergh's natal Sun (00Can18). Was she the suspected helper inside the house? Naturally, an activated Cardinal World Point related to several harsh societal conditions including the First World War. Born in 1906, Anne Morrow was about 9 years old when transiting Saturn-Pluto landed directly upon her Sun with potentials for privation and/or renunciation (R.E.). What hard edge could this difficult transit have bestowed upon her personality?

Well, Baby Charles was only 20 months old when he was kidnapped from his crib in Hopewell, New Jersey on the evening of March 1, 1932, as shown by the contemporary poster, below - "between 8 and 10 pm", but 9:00 pm seems to be the settled-upon hour, and is used in the horoscope shown, below. His nurse, Betty Gow, discovered the baby was missing at about 10:00 pm, and sources say that Papa Lindbergh forbade anyone to check on the baby between 8 and 10 pm, even if he cried. Make of this as you may.

Sadly, about 5 miles from the Lindbergh home outside Hopewell, NJ, the baby's body was found on May 12, 1932 after weeks of well-publicized performances by family members, which is my particular reference to and suspicion of, his father, the famed aviator, Charles A. Lindbergh, follower of Adolf H*tler. Needing a conviction, the perpetrator of "The Crime of the Century," was said to be carpenter Bruno Hauptmann, was apprehended, tried, and executed on April 3, 1936, yet controversy continues to follow the case. For example--

See Crime of the Century: Lindbergh Baby Kidnapper Brought to Justice (History Channel) and/or Forensic Files: The Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping Investigation Reopened (an archived presentation which opens with a brief history of "Lucky Lindy" and his historic flight to Paris. Plus, Lindbergh's habit of playing "practical jokes" on people such as hiding Baby Charlie in a closet and telling his wife that their baby had been kidnapped, is noted as that of a sick mind.

Eventually, "Lucky Lindy," Baby Charlie's Saturn in Capricorn (opposite Pluto in Cancer), was able to spruce up his reputation and improve his social status. Deserved? You decide.

Now if you've read posts here before, you may have run across my expressed appreciation for the excellent work of MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, not the least of which is her recent Ultra podcast about N*zis in America back in Charles Lindbergh's day.

On a disturbing level, the possibility that 'Papa Lindbergh was behind his son's kidnapping may not be far-fetched, and the idea has always upset me when, years ago, I studied the horoscopes, including the above mentioned Anglar T-Square of Baby Charles which suggests the cruelty, violence, and assault potentials he was born into during the turbulent, violent 1930s. Additionally, a possibility exists that Baby Charles' (genetic?) imperfections were considered sub-par for an Aryan like Lindbergh, a popular public figure around the globe, and embassassment resulted. Meanwhile, Lindbergh fathered several other children including three secret ones with a lady other than wife, writer and aviator Anne Morrow Lindbergh, wealthy daughter of a powerful man (her Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Gemini).

Let's Add a Sprinkling of Astrology

Now as we might expect astrologically, there are difficult contacts between Charles Lindbergh ('CL') and Baby Lindbergh such as CL's natal South Node conjunct Baby's natal Moon @9Tau40 (emotional alienation) with Taurus often signifying intolerance, CL's natal Mercury-Venus conjunction in early Pisces opposed by Baby Charles' natal Neptune indicating a sense of loss, erosion of plans, deception, confusion, and/or strange circumstances; and, perhaps the most telling of all - Baby Lindbergh's natal Saturn Rx @9Cap11 conjuncts CL's natal Chiron, the wound, and if we consider the symbol of "10 Capricorn," we find "An Albatross Feeding From the Hand of a Sailor." Is this how Papa saw his first child, Charles Jr?

And with that I'll hush for now and as always, thank you for reading!
