Thomas Charles Lethbridge - Life events

Thomas Charles Lethbridge - Life events

 

This analysis is a detailed look-up into charts for three life-periods of the Native, written primarily to be of use for the experienced astrologers familiar with Sidereal prognosticating techniques, but with aiming at directness and simplicity of elaboration so that the currently-students may also, hopefully, find practically-useful and valuable information in it as well.

 T.C. Lethbridge born:
March 23rd, 1901   4:00 GMT  Dunster, England 


                                                            ****************

 

In is not always easy to directly & immediately see the difference in quality of information provided between the use of the SSR-SLR and the SL-LS Luminary-related period charts as the basic technique tool-kit for individual annual & monthly periods. - And actual analysis of period charts becomes, over time, less & less possible to perform adequately (and thus, to be able to give accurate prognosis), as one gets accustomed to habitually merely superficially glancing at these charts, for the sake of "harvesting data" from them toward building up a "statistically proven case" about how "splendidly perfectly working" is something which suits one's own bias-patterns.

 

When one uses the actually functional-for-prognostics Luminary period-techniques, there is no need to seek to "prove" anything - Life itself is proving the functionality of that which actually does work; it requires statistics to be "proven" as much as gravity requires statistics in order to be acknowledged as practically existing for a human on Earth.


Here we have an example of a Natus with abundance of biographical information and a well-recorded birth-time, providing us with a nice opportunity for an attentive detailed look-up.

 

I have selected three periods from his life which can serve best for a written analysis like this, with intent to encourage you to not be satisfied with that only, but to go on and proceed with further investigation on your own.

 

                                                                *************

 

The second half of year 1921 was very dynamic and eventful for Lethbridge:
during August, he engaged in an Arctic Expedition, experiencing such daring and adventurous voyage for the first time (and being part of the team who was first to successfully climb the Beerenberg), as well as getting the opportunity during this journey to excavate at an abandoned Eskimo settlement, as own first & unique practical archeological work; and upon return, in October, begun attending the classes at Cambridge Trinity College [where he, not being very interested in abiding by the 'academic standards' and 'authority rule' requirements, graduated in June 1923 with "a third class B.A."].

 

The two different annual technique-charts that cover this same period are his Solar Return 3/23/1921 and the Soli-Lunar 4/30/1921; he resided in Crowthorne, England, before starting to attend the college at Cambridge.

Let's look at the angularities and the Lunar aspects of each of these charts! - I will list these factors, avoiding to comment too much, and primarily allowing the naked data to speak for itself.

 

--- As you observe the picture formed by each of the two charts, keep in mind the question:to what extent would we be able to in advance accurately (non-vaguely) predict the key themes, the nature/quality of (now in retrospect, obviously, already-known) events and experiences for the Natus, by using one or the other of these charts as our basic annual-period technique?

 ---> from which we'd to conclude this is one of the personally worst months of the year for the Natus, primarily themed by them experiencing some major kind of suffering/constraint/loss --- and it's probably connected to their personally closest, intimate or family relationships, based on what the whole picture of the chart's Angularity and the s Moon's aspects, shows ...

 --> with a team of people engaged in adventurous exploration of the territories yet-uncharted, he was sailing through the seas, and walking through the unknown lands, fueled by the dream-aspirations from own early childhood!! - if we knew nothing about the events, and have only seen this Lunar progression during this particular SL picture as it is, we'd be able to clearly say that this month brings focalized something of importance with a vision/dream quality to it, and within the context of: discovery/exploration-expansion/revelation, exposure-to-entirely-New, with opportunity for pronounced expression of own physical and mental capacities, and in a focalized way themed with intensified shared adventurous group/collective joy and excitement, annual period.

                                                          **************************

 

A quite different kind of eventitude has befallen the Native during January 1948: he has received the information that his younger son, 21.5 years old at the time, has committed suicide.

The exact date of this I didn't find online - which invited for the look-up of the bi-weekly charts during the month, as well, in addition to the annual-period related preview.

Again, I'll avoid to comment in great detail, allowing, instead, primarily the astrological data itself to say what it has to say.

Look at the exact picture formed by all the prominent factors together, exactly as they are, in each chart, and the wider picture of "tides within tides" when all the layers - the Annual, the Lunar progression of it, and the bi-weekly charts - are considered.

 -> Don't miss to notice that this is natal Mars!

Without knowing anything about events, and with seeing this SSR as it is and this progression, we'd conclude that this is the period when the Natus is especially emphasizedly physically engaged/active, very likely pronouncedly competitive, or otherwise angry and generally in a more-than-usual aggressive mode, expressing their own Mars - perhaps engaging in a fight, or being belligerent, or simply being very self-assured, with the sexual drive high and incentive to penetrate/conquer/overpower/attack/enflamedly-defend something or other from within the framework of immediate experience-stream.

 The transiting Uranus-Mars-Jupiter trio in the sharpest fore, and accompanied by t Venus as it is, indicates risky/adventurous undertakings of a pleasurable, gusto-for-life, kind, as the main theme of the events and circumstances of the year - and when the whole picture is considered, with acknowledging that Uranus both tr and rx is in the sharp fore, we see that it's primarily about the individual Freedom and renewal, the Natus is experiencing a being-reborn kind of inner revolution, with own authentic desires re-kindled to expressiveness ...)

 
So, how was the month of January 1948 for him?

--> a very exciting month, with the themes of Freedom/renewal and Change pronounced in particular between 12/23 and 1/19; emotionally stimulating, related to his ideal romance or dream/vision in this regard, during the 12/23-1/4 period, requiring a lot of adaptability to shifting circumstances and with focus on sudden, unsuspected tide of Joy in this all, during the 1/5-1/19 period, and quite heated from 1/20 onward, with the Natus being under attack (perhaps experiencing physical violence) and in some passionate way, with presence of authority-figures, and with it all limiting Native's own expression/movement, while he's being called to especially be verbally aggressive/penetrating, express own precision/speed/dexterity with mind and with hands, in some specific manner ...

--> for the event of this specific nature & scope (of impact to the Natus), it's not surprising that we see a sequence of charts showing very similar planetary tone as the main-themes marker -- it is not something that comes up as a "temporary disturbance" and then within two-to-four weeks entirely "evaporates" from the Natus' awareness and life-experience.

The specific planetary combinations of these charts eloquently speak for themselves - the whole picture of angular factors in each chart, together with their unique peculiar groupings (clusterings).

 

Even if this was NOT happening during the period when the pSL Moon is within 1* of orb in dynamic aspect with both pSL Sun and the pSL Pluto, and "merely" appeared as this exact given sequence of Luni-Solars during the annual chart, SL, with the angularity and the Moon aspects of it as they are, we could do nothing but predict, based on such combination of charts, a period emphatically themed with a high-impact event/s with quality of profound emotional loss, for the Natus - or at least such that the changes, related to a close/beloved someone, which this period brings are emotionally heavy, irrevocable (of the "door forever further closed" kind), and that even if there's not someone they love/care-about who physically died, for the native themselves the experience is quite akin to exactly this.

 

                                                   *******************************

 

 

For the third example, we'll look at the charts pertinent to the event of 9/30/1971, Lethbridge's death
He was residing in the Branscombe village next to Seaton, at the time, and died in a hospital in Exeter.

---> this describes a month themed primarily with romantic-ideal/loving-relationships experiences, with the second part of it focalizing the refreshing changes for the native, and in whole, by what the orbs of included factors are showing, not a period with events of some especially great significance.

What exactly does the s Neptune with the progressed s. Moon indicate we could only vaguely guess - the age of the Native at the time is, by itself, certainly not a "warrant" of such aspect bringing death, and within the context of this Lunar Return, the monthly chart, we'd expect this primarily to be focused on the aesthetic, sensual and/or romantic-related phenomena.

---> We see the monthly chart bringing the exact same combination of foreground factors as the annual chart has, and this with the t Moon in the picture for the month added to it.

The t Jupiter-Neptune, as a duo, indicates the religious/mystical/ceremonial themes, or otherwise, the "between-the-veils" conditions of the subtle/invisible/immaterial realm and the mundane overlapping, the borderlines between them being thinned, if not entirely disappearing.

With that, we see the presence, in the annual chart, as well as the monthly and the bi-weekly, of the combination including: t Neptune, t Saturn and t Pluto (all of these three, in each chart), and with the annual and monthly having, along with this, the natal Sun, Neptune, Pluto and Node.

Being aware of Natus' age at the time, and seeing this peculiar clustering, repeated exactly as it is, during a period when the pSL Moon is going partile with the SL Mars, would beyond doubt alert us he is quite likely to depart the physical realm of living-as-human-on-Earth during this LS'a time-framework.

The bi-weekly, within this, puts also emphasis on Mercury, both tr and rx, repeating the theme shown in the SL Moon's aspects, and speaking of a peculiar kind of communication-intensified experience (I say peculiar due to the context of this chart itself, as well as the monthly/LS in whole, and with the t Ju-Ne combo pronounced as it is, along with the t Saturn & Pluto presence, in each of these three "layer-tides").

The whole picture of these charts shows that there was no "suddenness" to the event - the Natus expected it, and by everything we can see, was internally well-prepared and fully ready for the moment of its arrival.
