American Murder: Gabby Petito (2025)

The three part series on Netflix documents the lead up to Gabby Petito‘s disappearance in August, 2021.

Hindsight is only available after the fact, but the signs were there that something awful was going to happen to her, at the hands of her boyfriend. There is no definitive date of death, so the moment of her demise cannot be accurately charted. Even her birth chart is shrouded in mystery, since there is no birth time known. In fact, of the two sites that show a birth chart for her, give her a dawn birth. I was originally going to randomize the timing, but then a thought occurred to me: why not use noon, instead?

Other than the unusual conjunctions between the Sun and Mercury @ 28° Pisces and Venus and Saturn @ 1° Taurus, there are very few aspects. That’s strange. By timing her birth at noon, one inconjunct appears.

Your need for freedom may interfere with your close relationships. When you are with others, even those you like, you feel very restless but you can’t get up and leave because you want to be with them. This is typical of the ambiguity that comes with this transit. Certainly, the more others try to restrict your freedom of movement, the more you try to get away.

This seems to be the echo of the Venus/Saturn conjunction.

This aspect usually means that you don’t feel that it is proper to show affection very openly. You feel affectionate, but you don’t show it outwardly. Unfortunately, you may think that you are unworthy of being loved, so you hold your feelings in to keep from being hurt by someone who rejects you.

Certainly, Brian Laundrie played Gabby’s emotions to their fullest extent. It cost them both their lives.
