Amelia Earhart

Amelia Earhart flew her first transatlantic flight June, 1928 when she was 30 years old. She was the first woman to do so, but she wasn't actually flying the plane. She said she went along like a sack of potatoes. Earhart did fly solo May 20, 1932 and set many other records. Then, when she was Forty she tried to become the first woman to fly around the World. She almost completed the trip, but her plane disappeared in the South Pacific somewhere very close to the equator as she was flying between New Guinea and Howland Island. There has been much speculation about whether or not she and her Navigator survived and lived for awhile on one of the desert islands as a signal was picked up from their plane for days after the disappearance.

Sun 3 Leo (H4); ASC 4 Taurus; Moon 12 Gemini (H2); MC 19 Capricorn; NN 7 Aquarius (H10)

Date of Disappearance: July 2, 1937, last heard from 8:45pm

Took off from Lae, New Guinea at 12:30pm
(Latitude: 6 deg. 43' 12" S; Longitude: 146.99)

Destined for Howland Island Island, 2556 miles from Lae
(Latitude: 0* 48' 06' N Longitude: 176* 38' 12" W.
last report saying they were traveling North-South: 8:45 pm

Airplanes: Uranus, Aquarius (Gemini)
Airway travel: 3, Mercury, 9, Sagittarius, Uranus (Neptune)

Earhart's chart shows an "unofficial" Grand Cross between the Nodes, Sun, ASC and Chiron on the Descendant. Astrologers don't really pay attention to configurations with so few planets but I think this is significant because the closest astrolocality lines to the spot where she may have gone down are where Sun and Chiron lines cross.

Earhart's interest in flying is shown all over her chart.

Conjunction (within a degree) of Uranus-Saturn in H7. Trines the Sun. Uranus rules aviation. The 7 House conjunction trining her Sun shows independence but probably also that she received a lot of help from her partners.
North Node in Aquarius. Aviation, Independence and Futuristic thinking.
Gemini rules H3; Sagittarius rule H9, Strong desire to travel both short and long distances.
Stellium in Gemini: Moon 12; Pluto 15, Venus, 18, Neptune 22. This conjunction is in H2 showing that she could earn a living off of her interest in travel.
Conjunction within a degree of Mars-Jupiter in Virgo (H5). Competitive, Athletic abilities.

Earhart's transits and progressions for July 2, 1937 are very difficult. Both she and her navigator had the conjunction of Neptune and Pluto in Gemini and were going through Neptune and Pluto transits at the time of their disappearance.

The Gemini Stellium received two major hits: T. South Node conjunct Pluto and Progressed ASC c. Neptune. Both on the same degree with respective natal planets. T. Chiron is 4 degrees past conjunction with Neptune. Natally, Earhart had a wide conjunction of Neptune and Pluto which has often a very destructive influence on materialistic affairs. Neptune dissolves and Pluto simply destroys in order to rebuild.
Prog. Venus c. n. Sun at 3 Leo. A Jupiter-Pluto opposition is also aspecting Sun as Pluto in applying conjunction from 28 Cancer (5 degrees) and Jupiter opposing from 25 Capricorn. T.Pluto conjunct natal Sun can be a very difficult time of change. With the Jupiter and Venus aspects there is certainly an influence that what one goes through will bring them fame. This is also conjunct Earhart's natal South Node which is squaring her Ascendant-Chiron opposition.
Prog. Sun is conjunct n. Mars-Jupiter conjunction at 11 Virgo. Neptune is at separating from conjunction at 17 Virgo.

Astrolocality Lines for New Guinea and the Pacific Ocean up to Hawaii show influences from these transits as Earhart had significant lines running through both New Guinea and Hawaii which was her next stop after Howland Island. She had failed her first attempt at the trip when she was flying West from Oakland, CA. This trip was started in March and she crashed her plane at take-off in Hawaii. The plane had to be repaired and then she re-started flying in the opposite direction towards the East from Burbank, CA due to changing weather conditions.

New Guinea:
Natal Lines: Neptune DC; Venus DC; Pluto DC. These cross the Mars MC-Jupiter MC lines.
Transits/Progressions: Prog. Sun line c. Mars-Jupiter lines. Transiting Neptune line. Prog. Venus line c. Sun DC line. The Pluto line is a bad omen, but anyone traveling across the world is going to meet up with these lines and most haven't died. The addition of the Neptune line, however, makes this a particularly difficult point, especially since Earhart's navigator was a heavy drinker. Natally, she has a conjunction of Saturn and Uranus which could show an erratic partner who may let a person down.

As they traveled East, she past a close conjunction of her prog. Mercury MC; prog. Mars MC, transiting Saturn IC lines at 160 longitude.

At 170 longitude, there are a close set of lines which swing up into Hawaii to cross a conjunction of Saturn MC-Uranus MC lines. Transiting Jupiter ASC is joining these lines.

Hawaii:
Natal Lines: Sun DC; NN AC; Mercury DC cross Saturn MC-Uranus lines

In the Astrolocality chart, the closest crossing of lines to the spot where she and her navigator seemed to have disappeared is the Sun DC line to the Chiron MC line at 170 latitude, 2-3 longitude. This hooks her into that Grand Cross energy which activates the angles in Earhart's chart.

The navigator, Fred Noonan's, chart is very interesting.

Fred Noonan
b. Apr. 4, 1893 Chicago, IL

He's got Uranus in Scorpio at apex of a Yod that links to two stelliums: Venus-Mercury-Sun in Aries and Mars-Pluto-Neptune in Gemini. At the time of his disappearance, he was going through his Uranus opposition so that the empty spot (I forget what you call it) of the Yod was filled in. He was also going through his Neptune square and Pluto was squaring his Nods to the degree.
