The Lindbergh Kidnapping

[Jim Eshelman]

A new article in today's New York Times has stirred some thought:

The Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping: A Grisly Theory and a Renewed Debate
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/05/nyre ... -baby.html

I had never thought the Lindbergh kidnapping made sense astrologically. I was sometimes embarrassed by it and also noted that - although it one of the most notorious matters (and involving one of the most famous of families) during the '30s and '40s when Cyril Fagan and Donald Bradley were in their up-and-coming heydays, I don't recall either of them ever writing about the Lindbergh kidnapping. I suspect that they thought the charts were as puzzling and "off" as I do. [Of course, the birth time for Lindbergh in Sabian Symbols was wrong by an hour.] Other than Charles Lindbergh's new SSR (a great chart for the event), none of the return charts really fit. But it's not just the return charts - transits, progressions, and directions are quite confusing, too. (Hauptman's natal had a particular concentration of appropriate transits but they didn't come together at the right time. Nonetheless, discussion of his chart - given the notoriety at the time - is strangely missing from Solar and Lunar Returns despite the inclusion of numerous other murders.)

Current investigators and crime theorists have new ideas about what really happened - including a theory quite consistent with Lindbergh having transiting Jupiter exactly opposite his Sun when all this came down. I'm not saying I'm sold: I'm saying that this is really interesting.

So I'm just going to leave the data and the link to the article here and let anyone interested look for themselves.
