John F. Kennedy Jr. , Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and Lauren Bessette

The date and time is now 7/17/99, 12:58PM EDT, Waterford, CT USA

The plane, flown by John F. Kennedy Jr., son of late President John F. Kennedy, and son of late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, is missing.  The Kennedy family has suffered many tragedies, of which I won't go into at the moment.  My concern, although it hasn't been confirmed as of this exact moment, is that John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and his sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette, are all deceased.  I do not subscribe to hysteria nor doom on impulse.  My instincts tell me that there was a crash at sea, between the coast of Long Island and Martha's Vineyard.  I had informed my husband that I felt the plane was in the sea off the coast of Martha's Vineyard. 

The timeline is as follows: They left Fairfield, NJ at approximately 8:38 PM EDT.  By Midnight of the 17'th (just 13 hours ago), the plane was reported missing.  

Although, it still may be premature, I approximate the time of death (and only God knows at this time) was at 10:00PM EDT, in Long Island, NY (again, no one knows for sure where his plane with himself, his wife and sister-in-law are).

Here is what I have found in John F. Kennedy's chart: Just using the natal and the transits (his Solar Return, progressions, and lunations can also be looked at), John F. Kennedy Jr. had Mars ruling his 8'th house of death.  Understand that the term "death" is not used lightly, and this writing is being delivered to you with the utmost respect for the Kennedy's.  Transiting Mars at 4 Scorpio opposed his natal Jupiter at 2 Taurus.  Mars rules accidents and fires.  Transiting Mars was approaching his natal Neptune, which rules his house of partners (his wife), accidents, head injuries (Aries on the 8'th house cusp) by a 5 degree orb, and conjunct the third house cusp, which rules his  7'th house of death.  His wife was traveling with him.  Neptune in his natal chart was in his third house of communications, short trips (which points towards the travel by air as well as the control panel on the plane).  Neptune also rules fog, and last evening, there was haze reported, which most likely made visibility difficult for John Jr. Transiting Saturn (in the ninth house of traveling) opposed his natal Mercury, which is in his 3'rd house of thinking, communications, instruments, equipment, and navigational equipment.  Transiting Mercury is retrograde at 8 Leo, and it created an exact square to his thought processes, as is shown by natal Neptune in the third.  This could have brought about making some kind of wrong decision, and having a confused or unsure state of mind at the time. Transiting Neptune at 3 Aquarius squared his natal Jupiter, again in his 8'th house.   Neptune aspecting a natal planet in his 8'th house refers to water, confusion, and uncertainty.  Transiting Pluto conjunct his 4'th house cusp (ruler of Scorpio which is the zodiac sign which symbolizes death, regeneration). The fourth house is the house of endings.  At the time that John F. Kennedy took off to go to the wedding (Mercury retrograde in his 11'th house of friends and opposing his natal Venus in his 4'th house of home and family, and also rules his house of in-laws), the Moon had passed over his Ascendant (physical body) and opposed his Descendant (partners, wife). The Moon means change.  The Ascendant of the chart for the approximate time of death was at 27 Aquarius, which conjunct (joined up with) his natal Moon at 27 Aquarius. 

Air Force Rescue Coordination Center in Norfolk, Va., received a call from the FAA this morning that the Kennedy aircraft was overdue.  The US Coast Guard and Civil Air Patrol is presently helping in with the search.  At this date and time (7/17/99, 1:39PM EDT), the plane has not been found.

John F Kennedy Jr. was navigating the single engine, 6 cylinder plane (Piper Saratoga).  He and his wife, Carolyn, were newlyweds (3 years).  I sense that along with the rest of the family and close friends, Senator Kennedy is really taking this hard.  I hope that his health can endure all of this strain.

Here the chart which is cast for this very tragic event.  My prayers and thoughts are with the Kennedy family and friends.  May God give them eternal peace.

Update: 7/21/99. John F Kennedy's body has been found.
