Book Cover & Preview Text
Laci’s birth horoscope features a sparkling grand trine in air signs between her Aquarius Moon, Uranus in Libra and Venus in flirtatious Gemini. This is a combination that favors romantic excitement, the unusual, and the unexpected.
But both Uranus and Pluto in the seventh house cast quite a different shadow on the partner. Scott was handsome, charming, and desirable, but self-centered, unfaithful, and ultimately dangerous to her.
At first glance Laci and Scott made a strikingly attractive couple. Both had congenial fire signs rising – Sagittarius for Scott, and Aries for Laci. Both exuded personal magnetism and charm, and many considered them a perfect couple.
But had they consulted an astrologer prior to marriage they would have received discouraging advice. A comparison between their natal horoscopes sends up several warning flags.
Harmonious Venus aspects, so desirable between couples, are absent here. Laci’s Gemini Venus conjoins Scott’s Saturn in Gemini and forms a square to Scott’s Venus in critical Virgo. According to ancient astrologer Vettius Valens, quoted above, this combination proved disastrous for them both.
Laci’s natal Venus-Mars square also creates a tense configuration with his Venus-Saturn square and introduces a violent potential to the relationship. Scott’s Moon conjunct Laci’s lunar South Node is another indication of a karmic emotional connection between the partners.
The water element is powerful throughout this tragic story. Laci has water signs on her fourth house of endings and her eighth house of death, and her Moon occupies the sign of Aquarius the Water-Bearer.
And it is no wonder that Scott’s Venus, representing the women in his life, conjoins the tragic fixed star Denebola, signifying shipwrecks and disasters at sea. He now spends his days on San Quentin’s death row, overlooking the icy waters of the San Francisco Bay, where he had cast pregnant Laci’s lifeless body, laden with weights, overboard.
It was a disaster at sea in every sense of the word.
