Kansas Missing Woman

This is a horoscope reading about a young missing woman in Kansas. No police reports have been published, as of yet, so I have redacted her name. Later, I will include it, along with a picture and any updated information made available.

My question has to with her whereabouts, and what happened to her. The first house, describing physical and literal circumstances, gives me the King of Wands, reversed. This king is usually a family man, often married. But he falls reversed here, showing unnecessary severity and even, a hot headed temper. As a king, his relationship to this young lady would be one of authority. The second house, which outlines possessions and personal finances, gives us the Devil, in the reversed position. The Devil often shows relationships and situations that involve obligation, to the point of entrapment. Here, he falls reversed, telling us that a certain obligation has been suddenly dispatched. I already do not like what I see, here.

The next card, in the third house, that of short journeys, logic, letters and communication, and relatives, shows the eight of pentacles. This card is the card of the apprentice, and usually describes employment situations. Since the reading began with the King of Wands, I will assume, for now, that his employment is somehow involved in this young lady's disappearance. The next card, in the fourth house is the five of wands. The fourth house is the house of the home, particularly the childhood home, and the five of wands is a card that describes games. Games are okay during sporting events, but not during missing persons investigations. I think it is a fair assumption here that someone connected to the home is hiding the truth. The fifth house, the house of creativity, love affairs, children, and pleasure, gives us the six of wands, reversed. This is clearly bad news.....in the upright position, the six of wands is success and good news, To see it in the house of children and creativity is unsettling.

In the sixth house, the house of health, healing, work relationships and pets, Strength appears. This is the first hopeful card in the reading. It tells us not to give up, and that she WILL be found. I am not as hopeful of finding her unharmed as I would like to be, but I am happy to see Strength in the house of healing. Also, pets could be a clue or a key to finding this young lady.

The seventh house, the house of marriage, divorce, politics, and public opinion, give us a card that related directly to those very things: the three of swords. There is definitely a problem from someone's perspective about the family and public opinion. The suggestion here is that the whole worry about public opinion has been carried too far. The eighth house, the house of death, transitions, karma and debts, reveals the seven of swords. The seven of swords is a card of theft and covert crime; it defines attempts to get away with wrongdoing and successfully hide it. This is not something I like to see in a reading for a missing person. The ninth house, the house of the "establishment", government, law, long journeys, and education, gives us the nine of wands. The nine of wands is another "patience" card, so I think the message is clear. Anyone who has harmed this young lady or contributed to her delinquency or worse will not get away with it. Promise.

The Lovers shows up reversed in the tenth house, of career ambition, social status, and relationships with superiors. This is also the house of "father" relationships. The Lovers is not only a card of romance, but a card of choices, especially when reversed. It appears that an unsavory choice was made by someone whose relationship to the missing lady is defined by the environs of the tenth house. In the eleventh house, the house of hopes, desires, and wishes, also of social life and debates, we have the ten of wands. The ten of wands represents endings to situations, particularly problematic ones. Once again, this perspective relates to the King of Wands and his viewpoint. The reading ends with the two of wands in the twelfth house. The two of wands describes a partnership involving property, protection, and financial well-being. It is clear that another person, in addition to the King of Wands, also knows where to find this missing young lady.

Because employment and home came up in so many ways in this reading, I would be inclined to look for this young lady close to home, and close to the employment of the King of Wands. Because of the position of the card, Strength, pets and animals may also be a clue. I wish I felt better about this.

Example Of Reading Using Horoscope Spread

This is an example of a reading done about a fugitive from justice, using the horoscope method.

 

 To try a horoscope reading in a missing persons case, I decided to use the case of William Bradford Bishop, a former Maryland man who was once a secret service agent. He disappeared in March of 1976 after the brutal murder of his wife, mother, and three sons. Several months ago, there was a question as to whether or not Bishop had died in Alabama and been buried, unidentified, but this was not the case.

 The first house, the house of personality, shows the five of pentacles reversed. Bishop was the type of person who unable to settle for something he did not consider ideal, and he also got bored easily with any type of "status quo". Also, while there is no talk of extramarital affairs, he was not above having one and hiding it. The second house, money and possessions, gives up the ten of swords. Not only did Bishop commit an act of violence, he effectively ended his claim to everything for which he had worked, thus far, in his life. The third house, that of communication and short journeys, gives us Temperance. Bishop had, apparently, planned this event more than anyone suspected, and his next moves and communications were with people who did not know who he actually is, and were unacquainted with his family. The next card bothers me a bit: in the fourth house of home and environment, the Lovers comes up! This is almost self explanatory. Bishop had a lover waiting in the wings. This not only gave him a cover, but gave him a false alibi.

 In the fifth house, the house of children, creativity, and romantic relationships, the High Priestess reversed appears to tell us that Bishop is just as shallow now as he was while married. This also points to a strong possibility that he never told his new lover his real name. Secrets; unhealthy secrets. House number six reveals the two of swords, stalemating Bishop's health, somehow, and his day to day affairs. Somehow, keeping secrets was not always amenable to moving forward in life. The seventh house, marriage and partnerships, gives us the moon. This is desire, laced with deception. Anyone this man loved heard lies, not the truth. House number eight controls joint finances, wills, and matters connected to death, and here, we get the five of cups. It shows regret, plainly and simply. Also, there is a suggestion that there is something material that Bishop would like to claim, but unless he comes clean about his new identity, it remains unattainable to him. A direct, oppositional path to the ten of swords, where he became violent and ended his career as William Bradford Bishop, is very telling.

 The ninth house, dealing with life on life's terms, and also with long journeys, shows Strength, reversed. Bishop's style, when met with opposition, was obviously to abuse whatever authority he had, or any person who stood in his way. But where did he go? Strength reversed usually refers stalled projects and things that go nowhere. It has been speculated that Bishop relocated to Europe, but if so, would be associated with a port or a harbor frequented by pirates and criminals. Human trafficking is also suggested when Strength falls reversed. He has spent a lot of time in seaside towns and seedy places.

 The Knight of Wands comes up in the tenth house, of worldly status, reputation, and career. Under an identity that isn't real, Bishop has established himself as a businessman who is "always on the move". Also, fire is the element associated with wands, it's possible that he is somehow involved in shipping oil. Perhaps one of his haunts was in the middle east, at one point or another. The suggestion is that he is still active in his secondary career, too. In the eleventh house, that of hopes and wishes, we have the Sun, which is success in all undertakings. In Bishop's case, this is simply getting away with murder. The twelfth house, of subconscious, hospitals, and death, produces the four of pentacles, reversed. Here we see more obstacles and setbacks. It appears that a life of crime under a false identity, lived largely on the lam, does not have the best retirement plan. The four of pentacles is all about hoarding and saving when it falls upside right, but upside down, it screams "waste". Another thing that is addressed by the twelfth house is self-undoing. I believe this describes Bishop's own undoing to an extent: when Bishop committed his special crime in 1976, there was no such thing as DNA evidence. He left enough DNA of his own behind for authorities to create a profile for him. He left enough DNA at both crime scenes, his home in Maryland and the place in North Carolina where he hid his family after he murdered them, to place him at both. He obviously did not expect science to progress so quickly in the area of forensic application. So....Bishop will, one day, be identified.
