Where Is Madeleine McCann?

Date: Thursday, May 3, 2007
Level: Intermediate

The most infamous and expensive unsolved child abduction cases in modern history. Three year-old Madeleine “Maddy” McCann disappears between 9-10 pm on a family vacation. It is suspected that a perpetrator may have hidden inside the apartment until snatching Maddy, who was sharing a bedroom with her younger twin siblings. The perpetrator has never been formally identified. Forensic Astrologer believes the case to be more of a domestic nature and not related to pedophilia or trafficking.

Location: The Ocean Club Apartments, Praia da Luz, Portugal

Event Times: 9:10 pm, 10:00 pm

Supporting Documents

Two event or crime charts were created for Madeleine's event time (click to enlarge the images below)

9:20pm Last Seen chart

10 pm Time when Maddy was discovered missing10 pm

Ketu: what is separated or left at the crime scene: : Workers separated/cleaned (14° Taurus degree/farm/money)

Keywords : strangled, restaurant worker, perpetrator had help, more than one victim.

Areas of Focus:

Victim, Madeleine McCann: There are two representatives of the victim in every chart: The Lord of the 1st House (in 9:20 chart, the Lord of Scorpio is Mars) and always the Moon. The victim for this chart is exposed to extreme levels of evil (18°), with Jupiter placed in the 1st house (or, victim’s domain/environment).

Worker: The Sun represents a killer. Here the perpetrator (Mercury, or Lord of the 7th, which always represents the perpetrator) is at the exact degree of the Sun. Mercury, representing “small”, shows the man could be blonde (Sun) but could also be short – contrary to the latest news on the police investigating a suspect described as a large blonde man. In the 6th house, the killer may have worked or known workers at the resort.

Mother, Kate McCann: You can see in both charts that Maddy’s mother, represented by the Moon, is aspecting Neptune (signifying drinking wine or alcohol). Neptune can also mean not being able to see what’s going on.

Co-conspirators: We look to the Lord of the 7th House to find the perpetrator, Mercury, the ruler of Gemini. The perpetrator is stalking (6th house). The Sun (father) is very close to Mercury – Maddy’s father Gerry McCann said later that he believes the perp was hiding in the room behind the door which this represents.

Review Process

Event Chart Indicators for the 9:10 pm chart

Identify Ascendant Placement and Elevated Planet

The closest planet to the MC in Madeleine's event chart is Saturn (SAT). The Ascendant is at the Gemini ("neighbor") degree in Sagittarius (foreign) = "Foreign neighborhood/Neighbor Traveled". Pay close attention to the degree and the sign in which the elevated planet is placed. Here SAT is at 18° LEO. SAT often represents the victim's body. SAT and Pluto can both indicate where a body is found, but we tend to use SAT first.

Review Strongest Planets

The dominant planets, which have the upper hand in this chart are Jupiter (JUP), Mercury (MER) and Neptune (NEP). All, collectively in this particular chart, mean "extremely high levels of evil, communication in the wrong hands, worker, hiding, drugs (or child drugged), drive fast to a farm" and "friends who didn't see." MER (friends) placed in TAURUS ("to see") aspected by SAT (blocked).

Review Cusp Degrees and Planet Degrees

22 and 18, poor degrees in any event chart, feature prominently. 22° can mean "kill or be killed" if in poor aspect and 18° is known as the "Devil Degree."

Crime Scene Details

Major aspects of the Crime are Revealed

Location of Crime

Saturn in LEO (elevated planet/highest part of the chart is strongest) SAT=Black/Rock + JUP in SAG (traveled) = Took victim to BIG BLACK ROCK/CLIFF Used by the public (Negras Rochas, Portugal), an 8-min drive from Madeleine’s holiday apartment
SAT + JUP in 9th house may also mean “Big Old Church Known by the Public” (close to the MC)

Suspects Description

There are two potential perpetrators: one may have problems with eyes (Saturn aspecting fixed star for “blindness”), wears or needs glasses (Mercury in Taurus (to see) + Neptune), and has dark hair (Jup +Saturn/”much” dark hair in Leo/ “Mane of Hair”). The other has blonde.

Witness Account

Jane Tanner, a friend of the McCanns, spots a man carrying a limp child minutes after victim’s father, Gerry McCann, left the apartment to go back to the restaurant. MER + SUN (perpetrator is represented by SUN + 7th House Lord which is MER). Perpetrator has power here (as SUN enhances the strength of the planet is it near – both SUN and MER at 13° – exactly on top of each other. MER, representing friend, saw the perpetrator (SUN) but was blocked (SAT). 13° Aries degree is “Fast”
+ MER = Walked Fast

The Kidnapper's Plan

With MER in the 6th house (document/logbook, routines/work/workers), it reflects what Kate McCann would discover many years later: that one of the hotel employees may have inadvertently displayed a logbook at the reception desk which said: that Maddy would not need childcare since she and her siblings would be checked by the rotating group of parents that were dining, periodically. With Sun (perpetrator) placed at same degree at MER in TAU (to see), it is likely the perpetrator saw the logbook where the note was written and knew the exact time to enter the apartment unnoticed.
