Kyron Horman was an adorable and bespectacled seven year old boy living with his father, stepmother (who had been his custodial parent for four years) and sister in the United States west coast city of Portland, Oregon.
On June 4, 2010, Kyron goes off to school with his stepmother and 18 month old sister. It's a special Friday, science fair day, so different from his usual routine. We can imagine Kyron was excited. A picture of Kyron taken by his stepmother and posted to her Facebook account that afternoon showed a smiling boy in front of a rather impressive display about the red-eyed tree frog.
Kyron was seen, along with his stepmother and little sister, by a teacher at 8:15AM, so we know for certain he was at the school that morning.
According to his stepmother, after spending some time together checking out the exhibits, Terry (maiden name Moulton) and Kyron separate briefly with Terry and her daughter, heading up one set of stairs (the school had two staircases) and Kyron heading up the other staircase (it seems they had done this 'race to the top of the stairs' thing before).
When Terry reached the top of her staircase she could see Kyron at the other end of the hall near his. She says she waived good-bye to him as he headed to his first period math class and she exited the school with her daughter at about 8:45AM.
Kyron, left just a few feet from his math class, in what must have been at least a semi-crowded hallway ... never got there.
At 3:30PM when Kyron fails to get off the school bus, his father and stepmother go to the school and this is when they find out he was not in school that day. The school places an emergency 911 call to the police (3:45PM) and the search for Kyron, which became the largest search in Oregon state history, begins.
This is a well-known case and over a decade old, so I am using everyone's real names. The step-mother has long been a suspect, but has never been charged and Kyron has never been found.
I have added asteroid Terry and asteroid Moultona (Terry, the stepmother's maiden name is Moulton) to the charts.
There are a few other astrological blogs, etc, especially focused on the last seen chart, around the internet, with various interpretations - guilt of stepmother, opportunistic stranger abduction, theories that he never left the school, etc - but none pulling these named asteroids into the chart, so we will see if these additions, provide any fresh insights.
And of course we will also look at the centaur/dwarf planet Chiron (name pronounced the same as this little boy) and see what he was up to. My sister and niece lived in Portland when this happened and Kyron has been on our minds for a very long time.
What happened to this adorable little boy?
His wikipedia story (lots of twists and turns after his disappearance) is HERE.
We are going to look at three charts. A chart for the time Kyron was last seen. A chart for an hour later to see where he went/what is happening to him. And a chart for the time of the 911 call from the school - when the event becomes known.
Let's unpack the charts!
We are starting with the last seen chart.
The chart is a Cancer rising chart - remember, the Ascendant represents Kyron as does the Moon. Since the ruler of Cancer is the Moon normally we might only have the Moon to use as a stand-in for Kyron, but since we have a planetary body named Chiron (pronounced the same as our young boy) we will see if it fits to use Chiron to represent Kyron, too.
A Cancer significator could indicate our victim is short, round face/round pretty eyes, disorders of the teeth (which anyone Kyron's age would have in a sense and he does). He was known to be a shy, gentle boy. A Cancer archetype seems to fit here.
The Moon (Kyron) is in the 9th house which rules education, but usually higher education. In this case I think the grammar school's less strict structure on this particular day and the science fair event itself fits a 9th house scenario.
The Moon (standing in for Kyron) is conjunct (by just 1 degree!) asteroid Terry (keep in mind there are 360 places/degrees asteroid Terry could be). We know Terry, his stepmother, is with him at the science fair - remember this is the chart for the time the teacher sees them together at the school. Chiron is also in that 9th house confirming his position as a significator for Kyron. Chiron is opposing Mars at the critical 29th degree warning of danger ahead and exactly sextiling (opportunity) Ceres (mother).
The Moon is in Pisces, so answering to Neptune. Neptune is also in Pisces, so strong in his home sign, but instead of being in the 9th house with the Moon is in the 8th house (death) - the 8th house as a final dispositor for a missing person is not good news.
We also see asteroid Moultona (a significator for Terry and again keep in mind there are 360 spaces/degrees asteroid Moultona could be) right on the Ascendant (Kyron) and conjunct Venus in Cancer (the woman who is a mother and with Venus out of bounds/ahead of the Sun, out of control of the Sun, she is not bound by the normal rules here).
Let's take a look at what we can see about the perpetrator.
The descendant (significator for the perpetrator) is 21 degrees Capricorn; a degree of self-sabotage. There are no planets in the perpetrator's 7th house, but we have the North Node (fate), Pluto (death, destruction) and Ceres (mother, mother of stolen or deceased child, smother-mothering) in the sign of Capricorn.
A Capricorn descendent could indicate the perpetrator has authority over the victim, is quite older than the victim. Dry. Serious. Cold-headed. Maybe dangerously depressed (Kyron's father stated Terry was medicated for clinical depression and had not been the same since the birth of their daughter/postpartum depression). With the Cappy planets in the 6th house this might indicate a perpetrator the victim sees everyday - someone who is part of his daily life.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn - here in the 3rd house squaring Juno (the jealous wife from the 12th house of endings/lies/secrets and in Gemini, so she's almost like two people). The 3rd house is our thinking, so another indicator here for depression - Saturn/3rd house. The 3rd house is also our local community, the school, short distance travel, the people closest to us in childhood. Saturn is in Virgo so answering to Mercury in the 11th in Taurus so answering to Venus in the 12th - notice Venus is ahead of the Sun, so out of bounds, the uncontrolled female/not playing by the rules - conjunct the Ascendant in Cancer finally back to the Moon (Kyron in the 9th) and with the Moon in Cancer to Neptune in the 8th - final dispositor again is Neptune in Pisces - the final sign of endings in the house of death.
So, our loop is 3rd house (school, local community, mental issues), 11th house (friends, goals that bring us into connection with other people - science fair, here as Mercury repping for Saturn a friend of the father), 12th (endings, lies, delusion, here as Venus in Cancer - a female woman, a mother, uncontrolled), the 9th house (Kyron, education, unknown journey) and the 8th house (death).
Keep in mind nothing is ever just one thing.
When we move the chart ahead about an hour and a half - to 9:45AM we get our second chart.
Here our Moon/Chiron have moved into the 8th house (death), so horribly, by now Kyron is probably no longer alive.
We see asteroid Terry is now exactly conjunct the Moon (Kyron), seeming to indicate the stepmother's presence.
Asteroid Moultona has moved into the 12th house of endings/lies/delusion and is in Cancer - the sign of the mother/mothering. Our significator for our perpetrator in the first chart, Saturn is still in the 3rd house, now representing movement/short distance travel/transport by vehicle - the perpetrator is driving around, but hasn't gotten too far away.
Neptune, the final dispositor for Kyron is in Pisces in the 8th house.
Pisces 8th houses sometimes show people passing away in their sleep. So, maybe he is drugged and falls asleep and doesn't wake up. This could also indicate drowning, but I don't think so here, although there could be a connection to water with what happens after he dies. There might be a spiritual connection to a sacrifice - Kyron making the sacrifice. His death somehow saving someone else (?). Maybe his sister? I don't know. That 3rd house Saturn could indicate danger to a sibling, too, or this could be part of the karmic story we can't see.
With Neptune in Pisces Kyron's death can become a mystery and might not be known for a very long time and this is supported by the fact Chiron is standing still in this chart at 0 degrees Pisces preparing to go retrograde, that out of bounds Venus, as well as asteroid Sphinx (the keeper of great mysteries) being exactly conjunct the Ascendant.
This case might never be solved ...
When we move ahead to that late afternoon as Terry and Kyron's father descend on the school and the school worker calls 911 we see quite a bit has changed.
Asteroid Moultona is at the top of the chart now in Cancer (mother) - a significator for the stepmother and certainly the focus of authority/the police (10th house) rather swiftly turns to her. Saturn, another significator for the step-mother has moved into the 12th house of endings/lies/self-sabotage/delusions.
Asteroid Terry has separated from the Moon (Kyron ... ugh) and is sandwiched between the Moon (Kyron) and Chiron. Chiron, strong and still is conjunct Neptune (the end of Chiron/Kyron!) in the 5th house of children. Notice all the Cappy planets from that 1st chart that tie into the perpetrator are now in the 3rd house of the school as the 911 call is made (Ceres - mother, Pluto - death, North Node - fate).
We don't know Kyron's birth time, but we know his birthdate, so we can look at his natal chart and that fateful day's transits.
Kyron has transiting Ceres conjunct his natal Chiron. Transiting Pluto sitting exactly between his natal Chiron and his Part of Fortune. The Sun conjunct his natal North Node which is conjunct asteroid Chaos. And amazingly enough, transiting Juno (the jealous wife) conjunct his natal Saturn (death, karma, endings) just as transiting Saturn conjuncts his natal Juno! One from the 10th house of the father/mother and one from the 7th house of the partner/perpetrator.
Some astrologers who have looked at Kyron's last seen chart see that Saturn significator as a sign an older man is involved, but that isn't necessarily so. Capricorn is a female sign and Saturn can indicate someone with authority over the victim (among other things), sometimes someone severely depressed, sometimes both.
It seems unlikely to be a stranger abduction or that shy Kyron wandered away and once we add Ceres, asteroid Terry and asteroid Moultona to the charts the story becomes rather sadly crystal clear I think.
Not very many step-mothers are the dangerous characters from Disney movies, but we have somehow managed to look at two over the last few weeks! With oddly similar stories. This will probably be the last mystery for a bit, so I can continue the series on the rest of this year, the virus/the violence and what we might expect.
xo all
To follow up with that last mystery we looked into - the case of missing mom Leila C. in Florida has had an arrest! If you are following that case, take a look at the man's Facebook ranting, just google around, I don't even want to link to this guy. It is amazing, he is EXACTLY the perpetrator in the charts. He claimed Leila was his intern, that she used to live with him, he is at least 10 years older than she is. She wasn't meeting a stranger she met on the internet and the astrology showed that. He is some kind of self proclaimed witch-doctor (yes, you read that right). I didn't exactly say "witch- doctor" in the post = ha! - but, you might remember the charts showed Virgo (healer) and then Aquarius (eccentric/odd ie witch fits here) for his significators.
Astrology/this cosmic connection between us, the planetary bodies, the archetypes and their patterns is magic people.
Witch doctor indeed!
