I have tried to ignore my strong reactions to the posts below and simply cannot rest until I share my thoughts.
First of all, let me say that since hearing of George's lonely trip to Daytona, my very first thought was that I hoped he did not have access to sleeping meds -- especially Ambien. That particular drug has been used as prescribed by individuals close to me personally. However, in four instances, the unintended results ranged from altered thinking patterns (negative thinking), to psychotic reactions to Ambien requiring a 5 week hospital stay, and for one, a successful suicide. The latter was my father, a healthy (except for bad knees, poor hearing and cataracts) 87 year-old who, in 2001, put a gun into his mouth and pulled the trigger after taking Ambien for less than a week.
The common thread for each of these instances of bad reactions was acute emotional distress. Emotional distress caused by different circumstances, but there was no history of depression or any other long-standing distress for any of these. Also, none of these dear individuals took regular medications besides NSAIDS or eye drops.
My concerns for George escalated when I read this account about Cindy:
"She tried to reach him but he would not respond to calls or messages
left on his cell phone, reports show. She checked her husband's night stand
and saw that
his sleeping medication was missing as well as pictures of
Cindy with their daughter Casey Anthony, and one of Caylee."

I pray this was not Ambien.
I have bolded and blued the lines that stood out to me. I thought the entire posts were too good to snip and could not bring myself to shorten. Besides, others may benefit from re-reading the posts in their entirety.
The other ASC ruler is, of course, Uranus stuck in the intercept. The planet thus squeezed is always wholly subordinated to the other issues of the matter in chief, homicide. George is suffering from neglect and constraint. Saturn keeps one on a leash hold but not if you are Uranus. If George were to own his power as the heavier planet and as one with mutual reception Neptune at his disposal, he would take charge to his own & everyone's benefit. He is also the master, Neptune, of his own intercept. Claim it, George!
The family home blighted by the evil Fixed Star, Hyades, and the House of Children, 5., should be considered and read together as sharing one Sign. Those two sectors are burdened with information errors, lies and alibis, the focus of reporters, visits from LE, gossip and alteration.
The Moon has squared Uranus just prior to George's departure. She rules his Health House and the examining doctors at intake in Daytona said George had medical issues, physical ones. Neither of the outer planets that rules George is subject to much movement; other planets act on them as the Moon did here. Therefore, we have to look to Venus for action involving Uranus & there is not long to wait. Apart from the deceased, Venus can certainly represent a female psychiatrist, an Eighth House figure. Wouldn't you just know she will recommend mind altering medication? (Neptune received and now with Venus, Uranus then transposed to the ASC)
I sincerely hope the doctors are exceedingly cautious about any medications.
When George left the house, the Moon was with The Head of the Snake Charmer or Ras Alhague, another Fixed Star know for loose attitudes toward medicating and a susceptibility to harmful effects from them. But it carries the rep, deserved or not, for granting the ability to order difficult situations. The affliction to Saturn is notable and worrisome. Star Wars, in effect, because Denebola is found with Saturn, quarrelsome with a liking for legal action.
The Moon's location gives promise of the psychiatric intervention but it will be interesting to see how these stellar influences work out.
Loose attitudes toward medicating -- would this refer to George or to his doctor? My experience shows me that too many doctors are too quick with pills when other methods might be better.
Susceptibility to harmful effects from medicating -- lots of folks have unexpected (and sometimes the opposite of what is desired) reactions to medications. For example, Benedryl revs me up rather than making me sleepy.
Tuba, I have reached no firm conclusions yet, but somehow hope George will decide to stay in the hospital. He will be free to leave within 72 hours, as I understand it.
I am fairly certain he will not be out of danger in that time, and to me, his chart doesn't look like his decision was a passing whim, if you get my drift.
What do you think from looking at my charts posted. Am I overly worried about his state of mind?
I can't read the charts but I never miss any posts on this thread. I really love the love expressed here and rely on the talented astros to give added insight to my own observations. I concur that 72 hours will not be enough time for George. And I am very worried for him.
No exaggeration was it to say it was the worst bombardment I have ever seen. If he he is kept in Daytona at the hospital, he will be relieved of the obligation to return to the same soup that is contributing to his depression. Otherwise, the urge will surely return to take his own life because the pressures will be the same and in mixture with the grief, drive him in that direction.
I think we should be even more worried than we are. It does look as if a wobbly plan will be put in place, probably by the shrink and a physician, and he will then return to Orlando. As you say, he will not be out of danger, far from it.
The worst bombardment you have ever seen, Tuba? Oh my, that says a lot to me.
I am beyond worried now. I am alarmed enough to make this marathon post.
Tuba, thank you so much. When your techniques show similar conclusions to my own, I feel so much more secure!
I wish George could go away from all this, by himself, or with a few very close friends who love and support him. A place where he can get counseling, emotional distance from Orlando, and regain his perspective on life, and some hope for a better future.
About Cindy? I think she is the worst person in the world for him to be around.
Did I hear on Nancy Grace that she was angry with him over this? I thought I heard that, but was taking care of my husband and might have misheard it.
I sincerely hope that George could get away just as you described. In my opinion, this would also be good for Cindy. I have worries about her, too. But right now the two of them together seems so toxic.
Again, sorry for this long post and multi-quotes. But I really had to get this off my mind. Perhaps I can rest now that I've expressed my thoughts.
BTW, the same week that my father ended his life there was a multi-denominational 2-day conference for suicide survivors that my two grown daughters and I were able to attend in my city. I learned so very much and am so very grateful for God's grace that it was available at that time.
:blowkiss: to all the astros here!
