Ernest Lundeen (August 4, 1878 – August 31, 1940)

Why would I purposely look at the life and death of a ‘minor’ figure in American politics?

Because, my friends, there is nothing new under the sun.

With an unknown birthtime, I allowed this one to be randomized. The Moon conjunct the Ascendant @ the opening degrees of Scorpio may be quite significant, especially as both are inconjunct to Saturn. But at the same time, Jupiter is inconjunct to Uranus.

Moon Inconjunct Saturn (perhaps)

This aspect usually means that your need for emotional security conflicts with your need to live with the world’s demands. Each of us needs to be accepted and loved for what we are, in order to have enough self-confidence to deal with the world. But we also have to learn to live with our own life situations in order to survive. In other words, we have to realize that we can’t have everything we want. With this aspect, these two needs are working against each other. Probably you will satisfy one of them at the expense of the other.

Jupiter Inconjunct Uranus (definitely)

You will always need freedom, but you will also discover that what you do with your life will have meaning only if it means something to others. This is not an artificial rule but a truth that you will discover within yourself. When you do, you may become heavily involved in some social movement that advocates unusual ideas or ways of thinking.

Saturn Inconjunct Ascendant (maybe)

With this aspect you probably have a rather serious attitude toward life and other people. It may be quite difficult for you to simply go out and have a good time. You want to be serious and to spend all your time performing significant tasks.

Here is the YouTube video that spurred my thinking about this individual and this subject matter.

They Say the Plane Crash is an Unsolved Mystery

What a mess, eh? However, the time of the crash is known, so I drew up Lundeen’s ‘fatal’ chart:

There are no hidden agendas, as there are no inconjuncts. It is only when you compare his birth and death charts that a pattern emerges.

As the ‘fatal’ chart is accurate for our purposes, I’m have set it in the centre of this comparison (as opposed to the birth chart, normally). Interactively, Lundeen’s natal Saturn is the point of the Yod featuring his ‘fatal’ Mercury and his ‘fatal’ Midheaven. His ‘fatal’ Mars and Sun are conjunct and within 4° of that ‘fatal’ Mercury. This is an ‘accident’ not an assassination. Proof? The natal Sun/Midheaven conjunction is inconjunct to the ‘fatal’ Ascendant.
