Acquitted by a Clearwater, Florida jury on counts of first degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter of a child on July 5, 2011, Casey Anthony was cleared of the charge that she murdered her two-year-old daughter Caylee in 2008. The case had become a cause celebre in the national media, in some ways paralleling the O.J. Simpson case from more than 15 years ago.
Most stunning from an astrological point of view was the Grand Cross then in effect, composed of Venus (female) at 1 Cancer, Uranus (accidents, shocks) at 4 Aries, Pluto (death) at 6 Capricorn conjunct asteroid Child at 4 Capricorn, and Tantalus (named for an ancient Greek mythic figure who killed his own child) at 3 Libra conjunct Saturn (trials, lawyers) at 10 Libra. Transit Jupiter (courts, judges, juries, justice) at 5 Taurus was conjoined by asteroid Antonia (#272, for Casey Anthony) at 2 Taurus, exactly squared Mercury (decisions, rulings) at 5 Leo and exactly sextile Chiron (maverick responses) at 5 Pisces, in trine to Pluto/Child.
Born 19 March 1986, Casey Anthony’s astrological birth chart has several indicators that murder might be a prominent feature in her life. TNO Ixion, named for the first murderer in Greek myth, at 20 Scorpio is conjunct asteroid Antonia at 17 Scorpio, opposed Tantalus at 16 Taurus, and squared asteroid Child at 22 Aquarius, which was conjoined by Damocles, the doom hanging overhead, at 21 Aquarius on the day of the verdict.
Natal Uranus is exactly sextile Child from 22 Sagittarius, an indicator that the death my have been accidental, but was likely violent, a circumstance reinforced by Mars conjoined Uranus from 25 Sagittarius. Mars/Uranus squares Anthony’s Sun at 28 Pisces, suggesting a volatile, violent, possibly murderous nature, and that Sun is conjunct asteroid Atropos at 26 Pisces and Mercury at 23 Pisces, combining her self-identity (Sun) with children (Mercury) and death (Atropos named for the Greek Fate who cut the thread of life at death).
When the verdict was read, transit Pluto/Child centered on her natal Neptune at 5 Capricorn, representing the confusion and deception patent in the trial and conflicting evidence (the prosecution’s star witness, Anthony’s mother, turned out to give evidence which undercut their case, and they were never able to identify the exact means of death). Natal Neptune was also exactly trine transit Jupiter and inconjunct transit Mercury for the verdict, with transit Chiron (maverick actions) at 5 Pisces conjunct natal Jupiter (justice) at 6 Pisces, itself in a perfect trine with natal Pluto at 6 Scorpio, suggestive of a judicial process involving a death.

No coincidence a d no accident. Caylee was murdered by Casey. She didn’t want Caylee from the time she got pregnant, but was forced to keep her by Cindy. I think the trigger was a combination of Caylee soon being d enough to expose Caseys lies and Casey had met Tony a few months before the murder & wanted him , obsessed to be in a relationship with him. Caylee would be in the way for anyy of what Casey wanted for her life at that time. Going to clubs, partying, and being her age with no responsibility, especially as a mother. People said she was a good mom & seemed to love Caee. All a show. Of course she would “act” the good mother role. Leo rising ,Pisces sun. I call it the “George Anthony trial”. How could all the evidence fail? I keep hearing juries want a motive. Besides being a psychopath and lazy too, the reasons I mentioned above should have been given, & more emphasis on Cindy forcing Casey to keep Caylee.
With all the ‘Neptunian’ energy in both their charts; Jupiter also rules Pisces…..how could it not be death by water or suffocation? (same thing). Water fills the lungs until the individual can no longer breath. I think she neglected to watch her child when she should have and an accident occurred. It was the cover up that threw every thing off kilter. Most ‘normal’ people would have reported it immediately and admitted their wrong doing. That’s 12th house. (hidden things; mental illness; institutions)
I’n with Vicki T, I think there was a lot that went on that we will probably never know. And I do believe it was accidential but probably the way it happened is what they are trying to cover up. Just not sure what that would be and how a mother could continue to go about her everyday business as if nothing happened after her baby died unless she was so afraid of what the consequences would be that she had to act like everything was ok. Don’t think I could do that
“it’s still possible that it was an accident, folks”..but for a young mother and an X sheriff grandfather taking it as far as they did to lie and cover it up tells me there was immorality going on between the both of them and a serious continuous case of a corrupt(and very broke) justice system forced to cover for a very corrupt pair of sheriffs. I’ve put my two cents in facebook regarding this and it upset a good handful of people but just goes to show how media can illuminate certain individuals and sway public into thinking exactly what they want which is exactly what the justice system tells them to do.
it’s still possible that it was an accident, folks, and that the dysfunctional trio family covered it up in very dysfunctional way- including duct tape–whatever– they are ALL mentally ill, and deserve the compassion and justice of our hearts and of our courts.
I don’t think it was meant for her to live and learn…It is so sad that some people are born under certain astrological junctions that universally they are protected.
I forgot to mention i got VENUS on that degree 6° pisces.
You cannot conceive the fights I went through for just being faithful to my beliefs as a christian. To keep my Compassion unaltered. To keep human.
This is the meaning of that cross. It means ONE person having to face the World’s hostility like A ROCK in the middle of the Sea.
I am a total different personality than Casey Anthony.
But i was stunned to see THIS degree 6° Pisces/Jupiter
Illumined By A Shaft Of Light, A Large Cross Lies On Rocks Surrounded By Sea
Is there more to say? it means that GOD rendered Justice.
That we like it or not, we cannot be BETTER THAN OUR LORD. iF HE wants this woman to live and learn, who are we to JUDGE?
