Four Year Old Vanishes in Newburgh, NY

Four year-old Marc Anthony Bookal had been left in the care of his mother’s boyfriend for the afternoon of December 14^th.  They were preparing to visit a relative when little Marc reportedly wandered out of the apartment via an open door at around 1 PM and was not seen again.

Sixteen degrees of Aries rises, so Marc is shown by Mars in 19 degrees Leo in the fifth house of recreation; he wanted to play and have fun.  But Mars also rules the eighth house of death (Scorpio) so his fate is unfortunate.  Mars is peregrine in Leo so he is unable to help himself, and with opposition to Jupiter and Neptune, he becomes lost and disoriented.

The Part of Fortune is at 26 Pisces in the twelfth house.  The Part of Fortune often shows the outcome of a situation, its “hidden treasure” or result.  The twelfth house describes a sad ending wrapped in secrecy.  To this day no one knows exactly what happened to Marc and the news has reported that a three-week search for the body has been finally called off.

I believe the horoscope suggests death by drowning.  The fourth house end of the matter is Cancer, the eighth house of death has Scorpio, a water sign on its cusp, and the Part of Fortune is in the watery sign Pisces.  Unfortunately the river near Marc’s home was searched without success. 

The horoscope suggests that the mother (Saturn in Libra in the sixth) had some problems with Marc as Mars and Saturn are in negative mutual reception.  The Moon also rules the mother, which is peregrine in Sagittarius in the eighth.  While she had no involvement in her son’s disappearance the planets suggest an inability to care for him as she may have wished.  Her boyfriend has been charged with negligence in Marc’s disappearance so she has paid a terrible price for leaving Marc in his care.
