When looking at the Return charts for a pilot, there's the disadvantage of, most often, not having the information available about where exactly they were on certain dates (when the given charts we want to check have set).
In the case of Lindbergh, we are fortunate enough to actually do have the info available (with the help of some internet "digging" :)) about his location on 4/25/1927 and 5/8/1927, when the Luni-Solar charts (describing the bi-weekly tides) pertinent to the events in his life for which he's most worldly famous have taken place (as well as on 5/19/27, when the SLR chart related to this period has set), and for the LS 5/23/27, which occurred at 00:47:20 CET in Paris, France - which is a bit over 24 hours after he has landed.
These charts are literally amazing to look at!
But I will leave that analysis for some other occasion, and in this post, want to focus on events from 1932, being extraordinarily illustrative of the precision, both re the when and the what kind, with which the progressed SL Moon "works".
On March 1st 1932, his child of under two years age was kidnapped - taken from the family's home in East Amwell, NJ, and money was requested from Lindbergh family, in exchange for the toddler's life.
The police has been engaged with investigating the case and looking for the child; a ransom was paid by the Lindberghs; but the child hasn't been returned to the parents, nor otherwise the abductors and the child found, for the following about 1.5 months after the kidnapping has taken place.
And on May 12th, the remains of the child's dead body were found in the woods near the Lindberghs' home.
To say that from the perspective of the child's parent this sequence of events is something which is "emotionally ravishing" would be a mild formulation, and a crude understatement. The kidnapping itself took place within the context of Lindbergh's fame and the social position as it was; how profoundly painful and deeply life-altering this, as experience, has been for him we, as outside observers, can certainly barely come to even imagine.
What we can do as astrologers, is to utilize the techniques (our tools) available, to glean into the events in this manner, by trying to see and understand them through the lens of the astrological planetary symbolism.
The two most impactful "moments" in this whole event-sequence are clearly the kidnapping event itself, March 1st, and then the day when the child's dead body remains have been found, May 12th. Between these two days, there has been the period of uncertainty, continual expectation of the dreadful condition to be resolved, tension, and for the parent, surely internal condition of desire to come to be as soon as possible reunited with their child, in the best possible manner that this could happen.
What the transits to the natal can show isn't of use here, for depicting the events and experiences in some more precise, time-narrowed-down way, for the wider transits that were active during this period have been so as longer processes; and the same goes for the factors shown by the Solar Arc.
Not knowing where exactly the Native was at the time when either the current SL (12/18/1931) or the SSR (2/4/1932) has set, and not having the info about the location for the monthly (bi-weekly) charts pertaining to these two specific dates/events, the 3/1/32 and 5/12/32, we can thus only turn attention to what the Moon of the annual chart can show.
The Moon in the SSR chart is conj the Saturn and Mercury of the chart, with both applying:
cnj Saturn 2*01' A
cnj Mercury 3*59' A
This speaks of something harsh and heavy potentially befalling the native during the pertinent year, which primarily has to do with communication/business/administration, and can broadly be depicted as "loss", or otherwise, a constraint, or a peculiar kind of burdening or limitations being expressed from the side of the environment toward the native.
By progressing this Moon, to see when this Saturnian kind of experiences are focused, we see that the aspect is exact around April 1st, with the whole period of it moving within 1* orb cnj the SSR Saturn being from March 4th till April 29th.
This points to neither the first event, nor the second; the symbolism depicted, of there being some Saturnian-kind-of-experiences, is broadly fitting, but doesn't say anything specific about these peculiar events, such that it's portraying their exact quality/nature, nor does the progression of this SSR Moon provide the actual timing info - it emphasizes the days around April 1st, and it is out of orb both at the time when the kidnapping took place (a shockingly-surprising event, surely of profound emotional impact), as well as when the child's dead body remains have been found (again, a profoundly impactful event, and with peculiar quality of its nature).
The Moon in the SL chart is conjunct the Uranus and Sedna of the chart:
cnj Uranus 47' A
cnj Sedna 2*02' A
From this, we can see something of an utterly shock-surprising kind is "set up" to be experienced by the native, during the course of the pertinent annual period (12/18/31 - 12/17/32); we can't really know any kind of details from these aspects alone, but can with some certainty say that the emotional impact on the native and the importance of it all for their psyche is of the nature that is *extremely deep*, and connected to the very *roots*, the deeper limbic aspects of the psyche and native's existence in the world.
Since I've elaborated on the details of the actual events themselves above, there's no need to go into repeating that now again.
Here are the aspects of the progressed SL Moon, at Noon on each of these two days (3/1/32 and 5/12/32) - I'll just list them as they are, with orbs, and let the clear direct simplicity of the astrological data speak for itself:
March 1st 1932, at Noon (Hopewell, NJ):
p SL Moon [23*17' Pis]
cnj SL Sedna 22'
oct r Venus 28'
cnj SL Uranus 10'
May 12th 1932, Noon (Hopewell, NJ):
p SL Moon [25*36' Pis]
sq t Pluto 52'
oct t Neptune 48'
