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?

--> 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.
