Ted Bundy, the American serial killer and necrophile, has been dragged back into the spotlight on the 30th anniversary of his execution with a television documentary and a film about his murder spree. He kidnapped, raped, and murdered numerous young women and girls during the 1970s and possibly earlier. He confessed to 30 homicides but the true number of victims is possibly higher. His father is unknown but there is some suggestion he was the result of incest between his mother and violent, abusive grandfather. He was intelligent, educated to college level and by all accounts charismatic. His biographer described him as a sadistic sociopath who took pleasure in his victims’ pain.
Born 24 November 1946 10.35 pm Burlington, Vermont, he certainly had a grossly afflicted Moon which was conjunct Mars in the 4th trine a 12th house Pluto Saturn in Leo and opposition Uranus – all suggestive of an angry, cold, cruel mother who was both controlling (Pluto) and rejecting (Uranus). One of the things which drives children crazy is double messaging and she certainly was the root cause of a good deal of his internal chaos and sadism.
His Sun was in Sagittarius as well as his Moon and he had his Venus Jupiter and Mercury in Scorpio. There is a recurring theme with many murderers of a Sag Scorpio emphasis in their charts.
His relationship chart with his mother, 21 September 1924, was unsurprisingly highly stressed with a composite paranoid and unkind Neptune Saturn (Moon) trine Mars; and a tumultuous composite T Square of Sun opposition Uranus square Pluto.
His relationship with his grandfather, 23 September 1898, less so.
There’s no doubt his grandfather dominated his mother since his Mars was conjunct her Pluto; and their relationship chart is controlling with a composite Pluto square Sun Venus. So it’s possible there was an illicit relationship but not provable.
All of his harmonics which are marked repeat the Mars Pluto aspect of his natal chart with his pleasure-seeking 9th and serial-killer 18H having it exactly conjunct. As did his ‘sacrificial-victim’ 12H.
The world is definitely a better place without him.
On TV, Ivanka Trump was once asked, “What do you and your Father have in common?” Ivanka’s reply: SEX…as she laughed”. Who knows?
Dark Star Astrology has a fascinating page about black moon Lilith conjunct moon. People who also have this conjunction:
Ivanka Trump (ties into the recent discussion here about possible abuse of her by her father), Nazi Herman Goering, William Lilly, Stanley Kubrick, 14th Dalai Lama, Jimmy Saville, Nazi Rudolf Hess, Giacomo Casanova, Tim Curry, Janis Joplin, Lenny Kravitz, Robert Plant, Antonio Vivaldi, Bette Midler, Rose McGowan, Warren Beatty, Steve McQueen, Burt Reynolds, Benedict Cumberbatch, Catherine Deneuve, Sean Penn, Evelyn Waugh (who founded the Corpse Club), Dante (who wrote about the 9 circles of Hell in “The Inferno”).
Black Moon Lilith conjunct Moon could literally mean rape of the mother too, could it not? Or some kind of generational trauma..
Bundy’s Mars is exactly trine his Pluto and square his Jupiter (so, an extremely high sex drive). Taking into account his fixed Pluto is square a retrograde Venus in Scorpio.. it all gets too much.
SUN SAG/MOON SAG BLEND….Sagittarius, the travellor, committing crimes from coast to coast….Sagittarius, the legal expert, was his
own lawyer at his trials. Both Sun and Moon in the 4th of Homes, Sagittarius, restless mutability/change, always moving in his yellov
Volkeswagon. Mars conj the Nodal Axis, the mother……angry confrontations with mom.
Mother issues affecting his relationships…..he has a Fixed Grand Cross:
Asc 25Leo26, projection/ Desc 25Aq26, relationships ….this axis SQUARED by
the parental/mother axis, Mercury 24Sc28Rx, the past, 4th, mother OPPOSITION
MOST EVIL ALGOL, 25Ta26. Developmental tension in the parental axis affecting
his projections and his relationships. Merc rules 2nd, SELFWORTH, 11TH, LOVE RECEIVED.
Saturn retrograde, signalling the ABSENT FATHER….NO ROLE MODEL.
Black Moon Lilith conjuncts his natal Moon….a further descriptive for his mother.
Brilliant, Morris! Thanks for adding such depth to the subject.
