Finding A Lost Hiker

Last Seen Time: 10:19 am and 10:21 am
Last Seen Date:  May 8, 2019
Location (Last Seen):  Makawao Forest Reserve, Maui

Amanda Eller, a physical therapist who resides in Maui, disappeared on the morning of May 8th, 2019 after heading to a local park, Makawao Forest Reserve, with the intention of hiking.  At one point, Eller became disoriented after a brief rest and started walking the wrong way through the thick forest reserve. Instead of heading back to her car, she went further into the thick forest. Unknowingly, she would set off on a 17-day journey alone in the wilderness and the local community would use every means necessary to locate her.

We analyze Amanda’s “Last Seen” timestamp to answer a number of questions about whether Amanda would make it alive, the direction she would be found as well as which search method would work the best (air, land, human, canine, GPS).

Keywords we can see from the event chart where clues may be found: "Twin Falls", Forest (Taurus), "between two waterfalls", lots of water (Neptune), athletic woman (Venus in Aries), "beautiful waterfalls"

Forensic Astrology Mapping Process

Look For the Strongest Clues First, Then Decide on the Direction

The Lord of the Ascendant, Moon, representing the hiker, points ("aspects")

Moon 6°/"Victim" Trine URA/MER

straight to a strong stellium* in the 10th house (Amanda is "out in the open").  Mercury (walking) is placed near Uranus ("fast" and "up high"). She is walking in the woods (the stellium of planets is in the sign of Taurus, "woods").  Interestingly, Amanda's father (Sun) hired a helicopter to find her. Perhaps her father has money (Taurus). Planets in the same house show a relation to one another, such as "Father" and "Helicopter."  MER/URA in Taurus represents a wealthy (Taurus) method of flying, like an expensive helicopter. Uranus represents air travel. *stellium: 3 or more planets in close proximity or in a sign Mercury represents "Twins" and Uranus can mean "Falls" = Twin Falls (waterfalls) or "to fall" - which she did and endured a leg fracture (Jupiter falls in Sagittarius "leg" at 23°, the Uranus Degree = "suddenly") aspecting Mars (injuries). Additional confirmation that water is involved, Moon and Neptune aspecting the 10th, represents water (see full Event Chart). Now search for areas with waterfalls.  In Amanda's case, it would appear that it is north of her starting point. So... working backwards, we look to the event chart and the Direction Diagram above.  Not surprisingly, Aries rules the house with the stellium, or strongest energy, so we would choose one or all of the planets in the 10th the guide us to her location or general direction. HINT: Look to ARIES

Chart the Direction of the Victim Using Scribble Maps

Refer to the "Direction Diagram" above.  This will tell you how many degrees to add to the planet you've chosen to chart on the map. In this case, we chose Uranus, Mercury and Venus because they aspect the missing person's ruling planet (Moon) and because there is such a strong amount of energy coming from the 10th House.  When there is so much energy in the house, it is a good indicator of where you need to pay the most attention, particularly if near an angle (MC point, one of the strongest). When a ruling planet, in this case the Moon, aspects other planets in the chart, it can show where the victim went or what happened to the victim. Since Venus is in Aries (0° North), there is nothing to add to "22". Refer again to the Direction Diagram: add 30° to "3" since Uranus and Mercury positions are 3° Taurus (Taurus = 30°).  Normally a forensic astrologer would see Moon in a cadent house (the house preceding an angle house) and determine it is "slow in motion."  The aspect of Uranus supercedes this.  If Uranus had not been aspecting, it would have taken a much longer time to find Amanda.

How Fast Will Suspect/Victim Be Found?

If you see Mars or Uranus aspecting the Ascendant, Moon or Saturn, the person will be found fast. If Saturn, there will be a delay in discovery.
