Subj: Solving the Unabomber Mystery with Astrology

From: TonyLouis@aol.com

I thought readers would enjoy this post by Roger Satterlee who discovered the alleged Unabomber's birthdate using his knowledge of astrology.

I am quite impressed by his insight. He reasoned that the Unabomber must have Jupiter in Gemini because of his insistent need to publicize his ideas in his voluminous manifesto. He then looked for close Saturn/Uranus aspects because of the theme of frustration (Saturn) with technology (Uranus). He placed the sun (personal sense of identity) in close aspect to the Saturn/Uranus conjunction and came up with the date 5/22/42 on his first try. This is the date of Ted Koczynski's birth. Rather remarkable. Below is Roger's post briefly explaining his method. This is astrology at its best.

Best Wishes,

Tony

  I became interested in the Unabomber case when all the media focused on the Times publication of his manifesto. Because I have been making what seems a natural progression from sun sign astrology's broad catagories to the more intimate veiw of people as distinctly patterned individuals, I have sought for a means to appreciate the individual behaviors of persons and then link astrology's symbols those rather specific behaviors. The idea is similar to a refinement of such things as graphology, I suppose, but much more detailed ... sometimes...:)

  It seems people best identify themselves when they use their creativity; any creative turn of a phrase, or projected image, is a 'poetry' of sorts and has its roots in the same patterns of symbols we find developed in the art of astrology. For instance, when Melville's Ahab nails a gold coin at the bottom of a mast in Moby Dick, this creates an image which is essentially a gold circle at the bottom of a verticle line; futher, this circle represents a reward for anyone sighting 'the whale'--the top of the mast is where one can best see a whale in the distance. Well this more or less confirms the natal pattern we find in Melvilles case--Sun in House 4 opposite Jupiter House 10.

  Having read many books and viewed many more paintings with an eye for these connections, these parallels of self symbolism, I think there are more such assoiations to be cataloged in this way (that is why I compared it to graphology...the search is similar, cataloging shapes and positionings of 'objects' which have little meaning by themselves).

  The Unabomber was very prolific but not too generous with creative passages: though I do not profess to know what forensic psychologists look for, exactly, I suspect they would often miss the astological parallels due to their lack of astrology's symbol 'vocabulary' As an aside, I simply accept that Jung and Campbell were not wrong about the near universal employment of circles, crosses, etc., across cultures--the meaning of a circle is not defined mere social convention alone. I wondered where did "FC", as he presented himself, use symbols I could access as astrological parallels: I compare compare the two arts--writing, and horoscopy.

  The best 'artistic' expressions of the fictional character FC should have astrological equivalents just as Melville's Ahab, or even a pop culture expression like Chubby Checker and his 'twist'(see Saturn conjunct Uranus, '41-42).

 There seems to exist in persons a penchant for purely symbolic vocabulary which is adapted to culture; and this happens, if for no other reason, simply because we are human. So, where did this person employ a circle, for instance, 'artistically': or, as well, as John Douglas would put it, what did he do that wasn't necessary--this could be part of a 'signature' (for my purposes an astrological pattern with is a kind of signature--perhaps a birthdate).

  Late in the manifesto, FC makes an analogy or at least projects a visual image which employs a circle. He states that men are a hazard to our environ and that even if primitive or isolated they would again start to regain technology, or something to that effect. His *reasoning* I simply ignored: his mental picture was his signature, his poem, his painting, his sculpture, etc.. He stated that it would be necessary for men to dam a stream and build a water wheel to generate electricity even to power the small shops of tradesmen--then he said this could not be done because they would probably not have enough copper wire. The image of twisted coils of wire in a circle and their not being available introduced Sun, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and most likely Mars as the red metal.

  I thought about what damming a steam could be as a Saturn restriction of a flowing stream (Neptune); it had to be a Saturn/Neptune aspect which incorporate Ura with an equal measure of importance.

  Being that only a few occasions arose for major aspect like this, the conjuntion of Saturn/Uranus--'no electricity--had to be a trine to Neptune for there were no other major aspects available in the man's age range.

  This I saw I could place Jupiter in Gemini as a need to publish his 'wisdom'. Jupiter in Gemini worked for a number of reasons and that this yeilds two different possible years, 1942 or 1953.

  Though I first set up a chart using Astrolog and placed the Sun conjunct Saturn/Uranus 5/22/42, I will tell you now I made the mistake of accepting the younger man based only on the false lead of the published sketch. The drawing seem to indicate the younger man so I had to chose between Saturn conjunct Uranus, '42, or Saturn conjunct Neptune, '53' the main difference being the role of Jupiter--Gemini seemed right but was it trine or square in its relationship to Neptune.

  So my first try on my screen was 5/22/42, but I let the opinion of others drift into my considerations, I opted to search for a patteren based on the Juipter position.

  The date about, 7/2753, offered Jupiter in Gemini (which I wanted to hold constant regardless) gives a figure where Saturn could be conj Neptune and square Uranus. These two year patterns are the only ones I considered. Because the sun needs be involved in this aspect figure, I also briefly considered Sun conj Saturn/Neptune in '53.

  So, I had a total of three charts, and for reasons yet unknown to me, ignored my primary image--The Sun conj Sat/Uranus...Gosh, I hate it when I do something this stupid...and I may never get a chance to do this sort of thing again. My mistake was about the apparent need for something more explosive in the chart...It seemed people wanted to see Sun or Moon /Pluto when I talked to them about these charts...big mistake, I'll not listen again...:)

  Best wishes,

  Rog

  PS I forgot to mention that I really thought the most poetic image was the idea of a pipe bomb in book called "Ice Brothers"-- this matches my original 5/22/42 guess perfectly... I truly think I'm self-defeating...:)
