Death of Detroit siblings at lunar eclipse







Two Detroit siblings died the same night this week (Sunday, 27  Oct.), a sister in an apparent suicide and her brother in a car crash as he rushed to the hospital to see her. Ricky Tucker, 20, was killed in a car crash that morning as he rushed to the hospital to check on his sister, Brenda Tucker, 21, who shot herself in the neck at a bar on Detroit’s east side where she worked. Family members said she had suffered from depression for years.

Her death was ruled a suicide, and his death was ruled an accident, a spokeswoman for the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office said Monday.





In this post we will once again see how eclipses are not only very powerful but can hasten  tragedies that were waiting to happen. Shown above is the lunar eclipse of 18 October at Detroit. Notice that it is significantly placed square the meridian axis (i.e. the cusp of tenth and fourth houses).  The eclipse Moon [25ar45] is conjunct the stars of  Cetus, the sea monster and Andromeda, the chained woman.  The sea has an association with the human psyche and the monster refers to the self-destructive tendencies that emanate from the psyche under pressure. Andromeda is the child of King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia so that these stars often refer to people who have been under extreme pressures in childhood. Such children are challenged to overcome hatred and prejudices and self destructive tendencies. Diana Rosenberg lists “mental instability, violent deaths including murder and suicide” under these stars. [1]

The luminaries in the eclipse form a T-square with Jupiter [19cn] that was conjunct the stars of the Gemini Twins. More specifically, it is conjunct Wasat (iota Geminorium – Twins chest joined) which highlights the fact that the siblings were devoted to each other.

If  for a moment we now concentrate on the “small picture” i.e. the details provided by the asteroids we get a confirmation of whatever we see in the stars – the “big picture”

The eclipse Moon [25ar45] is conjunct the asteroids Isis [27ar26] and Orpheus [21ar44].  On the descendant along with Mercury [18sc02] and Saturn [12sc02] is the asteroid Phaethon [14sc49]. Martha Wescott [2] gives us the following interpretations.


ISIS: Sibling relationships
ORPHEUS: Sense of mourning and loss; grief;  death
PHAETHON: Instances that involve cars, transport, driving; other forms of recklessness
