Ive been skeptical about the accomplice theory (before, during or after the fact) from the beginning. I just cant imagine anyone being sick/twisted/evil enough --- or even stupid or sex-crazed over Casey enough --- to (a) plot with Casey to do away with her daughter; (b) actually assist Casey in doing away with her daughter; or (c) knowingly help Casey dispose of her (deceased) daughter and further agreeing not to rat out on Caseys dirty little secret
Lately attention has been given to witnesses who saw and reported a woman in a hat with sunglasses exiting a wooded area with a shovel and a bag. These witnesses also reported a man standing nearby who may have been a decoy or look-out for this woman, who allegedly looked a lot like Casey Anthony.
I am not saying this woman was or was not Casey Anthony. I am referencing this news report (the subject of one or more WS threads in this forum) simply as an illustration of one of the prevailing rumors flying around surrounding this case.
I addressed another rumor earlier on in this Astrology thread regarding the possibility of an incestuous relationship between Casey and her brother Lee. For that analysis, I examined whether there was natal promise in Caseys birth chart for that kind of life event to manifest, and determined there was not.
I cant answer the question Was there an Accomplice? by examining natal promise in anyones chart, so I will have to resort to a horary question.
Horary astrology answers specific questions from a chart cast for the date, time and place the question was asked (and/or received by and understood by the astrologer).
This is my question, cast for 10-24-08 at 9:39 am EDT (+4:00) 78w53, 42n53. I used the Regiomontanus house system.

Question: Is the Rumor True? Did Casey Anthony Have an Accomplice?
First, I want to check the 3rd House of Rumors/ Facts/ Information. Is Neptune there? If so, the rumor is a lie.
In this chart, 27:01 Capricorn is on the cusp of the 3rd House making Saturn Lord 3. Lo and behold, deceitful Neptune is intercepted (hidden) in the 3rd House of Rumors/ Facts/ Information.
This is testimony the rumor is a lie.
Notice Neptune is positioned at 21:30 Aquarius --- in critical degree (21 Fixed). Because Neptune is intercepted, Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, is what interferes. Uranus is located in Pisces, the sign of confusion, deception and lying. In fact, Neptune and Uranus are in what is called Mutual Reception. They are in each others signs --- they are both in each others business, up each others butts, both able to act for or in place of the other. What is their business? Deceiving, lying and confusing.
This is testimony the rumor is a lie.
Further notice interfering Uranus in lying Pisces opposes Saturn, Lord 3.
This is testimony the rumor is a lie.
Next, does the Moon form a hard aspect (conjunction, square, opposition, etc.) to the ruler of 3rd House (or to Mercury, ruler of the natural 3rd House)? If so, the rumor is a lie.
In this chart, Moon is applying to conjunction to Saturn, ruler of the 3rd House of Rumors/ Facts/ Information. Additionally, before Moon goes void of course (leaves the sign it is in), she will oppose Uranus the interferer in confusing Pisces, inconjunct (150 degrees) deceitful Neptune hidden in the 3rd House, and square Pluto (Chart ruler/ Casey).
These are two more testimonies the rumor is a lie.
Since we only need three testimonies to cast judgment and we already have five, there is no doubt the rumor is a lie.
But, just for kicks, lets go further
.
23:21 Scorpio rises never a good Ascendant in a horary chart. Chart ruler Pluto symbolizes Casey. With Pluto in critical 29th degree and Void of Course (making no further aspects before leaving the sign), Casey is at the end of her rope, going nowhere. Pluto is conjunct the Fixed Star Acumen, one of the Blind Stars (stars that were known to cause blindness when afflicted). This strongly suggests that no one witnessed (i.e., saw) her actions! Before the Moon leaves its sign, it will square Pluto (Casey) and Pluto is too far away from Jupiter to be considered conjunct.
These are further testimonies that she acted alone and the rumor is a lie.
Nonetheless, Pluto in Sagittarius is disposited by Jupiter and Jupiter is in Fateful Degree same degree as the Nodes. Since a planet in Fateful degree typically portends a catastrophe, tragedy or fatality, and since Jupiter is the planet that represents Truth, I think its placement in the sign on the cusp of the 3rd House (Capricorn) speaks to the Truth/ Information/ Facts aspect of the 3rd House. At least seven testimonies previously told me that Casey acted alone. Jupiters placement in Fateful Degree tells me the truth, that her actions resulted in a tragedy/ catastrophe/ fatality. Jupiter is in the sign of Capricorn, thus disposited by Saturn, Ruler of the 3rd House of Rumors/ Facts/ Information, and Jupiter trines Saturn. As ruler of the 2nd House of the Near Future, Jupiter portends that the truth will be revealed sometime in the near future.
It will be shown there was no accomplice.
This is confirmed by looking at the End of the Matter 4th House, Pisces, and its ruler Neptune. Pisces is the sign of confusion, deception and lies and its ruler Neptune (confusion/deception/lies) is intercepted (hidden) in the 3rd House of Rumors/ Facts/ Information.
In the end, it will be shown that the rumor (Neptune in House 3) was a lie and there was no accomplice.
It will be interesting to see what comes out in the wash at the trial...
Thanks,
