Forensic Astrology & Cartomancy: Missing Child Maleah Davis

UPDATE 5/31/2019:    Police have found remains in the search for missing Texas 4-year-old Maleah Davis after the suspect in her disappearance allegedly confessed about where he dumped her body.  … the remains were found in southwest Arkansas, after a “mowing crew found a black garbage bag emitting a foul odor.” The discovery comes after local activist Quanell X said … the suspect and the ex-boyfriend of Davis’ mother, told him he had “dumped [Davis’] body off the road” in Arkansas. According to The Houston ChronicleQuanell X said he passed along the information to police. [The suspect] who was meant to be taking care of the toddler while her mother was out of town, initially claimed that he was ambushed on a highway and Davis was abducted.

=======================================

[Note: this post was published on May 13, 2019] – Maleah Davis is a four year old girl who allegedly was kidnapped during a carjacking  in North Houston, Texas on Friday, May 3, 2019. As I publish this post, we now know the story was a fabrication designed to cover up the murder and disposal of yet another innocent little child.

First, I will lay out the story line as reported by news media, followed by the forensic astrology chart (with commentary) and the card reading I prepared and posted on Instagram last week (Sunday, May 5th) before many of the details were made public.

What We Know via News Sources

Friday, May 3, 2019: According to the girl’s “stepfather,” he was driving to the airport with Maleah and his own 1+ year old son in tow to pick up his fiance (Maleah’s mother) when he heard a popping noise. He pulled over to the side of the road and while inspecting his tires, a truck approached him. Two Hispanic men got out. One man commented on “how sweet, how nice” little Maleah looked. Next thing he knew, he’d been knocked unconscious, and spent the next 20+ hours in and out of consciousness, along with the the abductors and the two children in their truck until finally, he found himself on the side of another road with his son, but no car and no Maleah. Somehow he managed to get himself to the hospital (how, we’re not sure)… Eventually someone (we don’t know who but not him) called the Houston Police to report Maleah missing. This report to police occurred “just before midnight” on Saturday, May 4, 2019, according to a law enforcement spokesperson.

Sunday, May 5, 2019: Houston Police issued an Amber Alert for Maleah Davis at 8:27 a.m.

Monday, May 6, 2019: 10:30: Texas Equusearch joined the search effort at 10:30 a.m.

Thursday, May 9, 2019: The Nissan Altima, the car stepdad was driving at the time of the alleged abduction, was located in a Missouri City shopping center parking lot at approximately 10:07 a.m. There were no visible signs of foul play and the car was taken by police for further processing.

Friday, May 10, 2019: News reports surfaced that Maleah was last seen alive on surveillance video in her family’s apartment complex on April 30, the same day her mother left town for a funeral, when security cameras captured the stepdad bringing her back into their family apartment that morning. Investigators say he was never seen with her after that. On May 3, apartment complex security cameras once again captured the stepdad, this time leaving the apartment with his 1+ year old son and a laundry basket with a black trash bag inside of it.

Saturday, May 11, 2019: Maleah’s stepfather was arrested and charged with “tampering with evidence, mainly a corpse.” His bail was set at $1M. Police found blood evidence at the apartment where the family lived. The laundry basket he’d been spotted with on surveillance video and a gas can were found in the trunk of Nissan Altima. While death has not been confirmed, investigators do not think Maleah is still alive.

Note: Maleah, who was still recovering from recent brain surgeries (in March and April) which necessitated the removal of half her skull at the time of her disappearance, had been returned to the family home in February after a CPS investigation was unable to corroborate extensive child abuse allegations.

The Astrology

***Please see my comment at the bottom of this post as it bears repeating. ***

I cast three charts: the Reported Missing, the Alleged Abduction and the Amber Alert astrology charts and gave them all a good look over. Ultimately, I decided to use the Amber Alert chart (8:27 a.m., Sunday, May 5, 2019) due to its reliable and exact timing. In case you were wondering, none of these charts seemed to be talking about a kidnapping caused by two (or three) Hispanic guys. The charts did not seem to be talking about a kidnapping at all. Rather, they appeared to be talking about a child’s death, possibly accidental, possibly a homicide that happened in the heat of the moment.

*******************************************

Note: When analyzing missing person astrology charts from a forensic perspective, I usually place the greatest weight on the Reported Missing chart. Here, however, I did not have an exact time nor was the report made by the stepdad. While the Reported Missing chart in this case provided what I consider to be valid testimonies, I found the testimonies contained in the accurately timed Amber Alert chart more compelling.

**********************************************

Note: While it is not my intention to bore or frustrate non-astrologers with boatloads of technical jargon, a certain amount is needed to illuminate my thought process. That said, please feel free to skip right over it if you are so inclined and head straight for the snippets I have highlighted in red which explain my findings in plain English.

***********************************************

 

The Amber Alert chart presented several red flags. I will briefly discuss a few that caught my attention. If you are an astrologer, you may see more, including some I may have missed.

  1. Maleah is assigned to the 5th House of Children which contains hidden information (interceptions). The planets that represent her, MERCURY and VENUS, are “hidden” (intercepted) in the 11th House of (among other things) unbonded relationships. This is a strong indication that Maleah has been “hidden” and that the stepdad has something to do with it.
  2. Both of Maleah’s planetary significators are peregrine (unable to help themselves). MERCURY is peregrine and under the Sun’s beam; VENUS is peregrine and in detriment (very poor condition). Maleah was at the mercy of stepdad, unable to help herself.
  3. The MOON is the natural significator of Missing Persons and serves as Maleah’s co-significator as well. While strong in Taurus, the MOON is combust the SUN and in the Kill or Be Killed degree (22° of any sign) and approaching a conjunction with the malefic (evil) Fixed Star ALGOL (associated with losing one’s head, either literally or figuratively). MOON last trined SATURN (a death indicator in and of itself and in this chart the ruler of the 8th House of Death) and the malefic (evil) SOUTH NODE, and is about to trine PLUTO (all three are death indicators) before going void of course, all in the radix 8th House of Death. In addition to co-signifying Maleah, MOON shows the action of the Event under analysis. Its recent past contact with SATURN and the SOUTH NODE strongly suggests Maleah was likely dead at the time the Amber Alert was issued.
  4. SUN and MOON are both in the 12th House of Misfortune, Sorrow and Woe. Emerson’s Point of Death lies between them at 16° Taurus. House placements of the SUN and MOON show strong death testimonies.
  5. The anaretic 29th degree (“end of the train ride” degree) is on the 5th House cusp which is the House assigned to Maleah. This exact degree is also on the 8th House of Death cusp in Maleah’s relocated natal chart cast for sunrise. (While this birth chart is symbolic and not her true natal chart, I have repeatedly found such charts “work” in forensic astrological analysis despite the fact that the Moon position, house cusps and Arabic Parts positions are “incorrect.”) The degree on the cusp of the 5th House of Children suggests a crisis (at best) and an ending (at worst.)
  6. The Arabic Part of Fortune is normally considered “fortunate” in Gemini and in the 1st House. Here, however, it becomes the Part of MISFORTUNE due to its conjunction with MARS (violence) and its square to NEPTUNE (Pisces/12th House connotations of misfortune, sorrow & woe). The placement of the Arabic Part of ‘MISFORTUNE’ in the 1st House indicates violence and unfortunate conditions.

Further comparisons of the Amber Alert chart to Maleah’s natal chart showed additional unfortunate impacts, causing me to fear that the worst had already happened.

Most seriously, Maleah’s natal SUN at 17° Aquarius closely squares the Event chart’s SUN/MOON conjunction at 18° Taurus while her natal MOON estimated here at 15° Virgo squares the Event ASCENDANT 14° Gemini. Additionally, her Secondary Progressed (SP) SUN at 21° Aquarius exactly conjuncts BLACK MOON LILITH (a strong death indicator) with both placements close square the Event MOON in the Kill or Be Killed 22nd degree of Taurus. It is difficult at best to hold out hope when the natal and secondary progressed SUN and MOON are as badly afflicted as they are here.

Where Might She Be?

The astrological placements of Maleah’s significators (MERCURY and VENUS both in Aries, a fire sign) in the Amber Alert chart suggested she could be found “near a fireplace, stove, heater, chimney or outdoors where there has been a fire and near something made of iron… burned ground… unfrequented areas (hiding places)…” (Ivy Goldstein-Jacobson, Simplified Horary Astrology). According to Ivy’s methodology, Maleah should be found within 12- 15 miles of her Last Seen location (the family’s apartment) in an East to SSE direction or conversely, West to NNW. While I’ve only had spotty success with Ivy’s methods of locating Missing Persons, when news of a gas can being found in the trunk of the stepdad’s car came out on Friday, May 10, this “testimony” became more chilling.

The Cartomancy

I read the Lenormand cards on Sunday, May 5, 2019 after casting the Reported Missing astrology chart, and posted the following card draw to my Instagram account:

Initial Lenormand card reading:

HOUSE + BIRDS + SCYTHE + COFFIN + CROSS
Forensic Cartomancy Lenormand Card Reading for Missing Child Maleah Davis: 04 House + 12 Birds + 10 Scythe + 08 Coffin + 36 Cross – Living with Cards © 2019

Piatnik No. 194115 Mlle Lenormand Jeu de destin

The reading was not at all comforting. It showed a domestic partner or house mate (House + Birds) and a snap decision/ accident/ cutting or severance (Scythe) that led to death (Coffin + Cross). I took this to mean that the stepdad did something, either intentionally or accidentally, that caused the death of Maleah Davis.

Additional Lenormand card spreads:

On Tuesday (May 7, 2019) I threw three more Lenormand card spreads (which I didn’t publicly post) and got the following:

Additional Spread #1:
SUN + TOWER + BOUQUET + MICE + STORKS (over ANCHOR)
Forensic Cartomancy Lenormand Card Reading for Missing Child Maleah Davis: 31 Sun + 19 Tower + 09 Bouquet + 23 Mice + 17 Storks over 35 Anchor - Living with Cards © 2019

Piatnik No. 194115 Mlle Lenormand Jeu de destin

Read from a forensic perspective SUN + TOWER symbolizes “the authorities” / “officials in charge.” BOUQUET is a tip and placed over ANCHOR, it is a “solid tip.” MICE + STORKS is something decomposing/ decaying that has been relocated. So what we have here is that the authorities/ persons in charge receive a solid tip concerning a decomposing/ decaying body that has been removed/ placed elsewhere. (On Friday, May 3, apartment complex surveillance captured the stepdad leaving his apartment with his 1+ year old son (and no Maleah) carrying a laundry basket containing a black plastic trash bag. This information was not released to the public until the following Friday, May 10.)

The Lenormand STORKS card carries the meanings of changes (usually for the better), and of moving/ moving house. In forensic cartomancy, however, I’ve found it can symbolize a relocation, a migration of sorts: the moving of someone or something from one place to another. In the spread above, my sense was that was what happened.

It was the card before STORKS, however, that really got to me… MICE suggests deterioration, decay, garbage, soiled articles, and other extremely unpleasant things and states of being. It gave me the impression of a corpse. And of a garbage pile, making me wonder if she was in a landfill.

I kept these thoughts to myself…

Additional Spread #2:
FOX + MOUNTAIN + CHILD + LILIES + CROSSROADS (over BIRDS)

Piatnik No. 194115 Mlle Lenormand Jeu de destin

While shuffling, I deliberately charged CHILD to represent Maleah which I then selected along with two cards before and two cards after. FOX mirrors CROSSROADS and MOUNTAIN mirrors LILIES. This spread suggested to me that Maleah is buried/ under ground (LILIES) in a remote area/ isolated place (MOUNTAIN). FOX is likely the stepdad in con-artist mode, trying to throw authorities off-track (CROSSROADS). BIRDS as Base Card could suggest either that the stepdad eventually talks or that cell phone data could lead to the location where he put her.

Additional Spread #3:
RING + LETTER + COFFIN + SCYTHE + SHIP

Piatnik No. 194115 Mlle Lenormand Jeu de destin

Here are my thoughts as I jotted them down in my personal daily journal: A written confession?? (RING + LETTER). Accidental death  or a deliberate snap decision to kill (COFFIN + SCYTHE). He put the body in his car (SHIP) and drove to wherever he placed / buried her, then got rid of the car and concocted his cover story.

Comment:

In the hope that somehow by the grace of God a miracle could occur, I postponed publication of my findings until today. If you’ve been following this case you know that news released over the weekend pretty much confirmed that Maleah Davis is no longer with us.

Sadly, this case reveals yet another deplorable situation, similar to the A.J. Freund case discussed elsewhere on Living with Cards, where Child Protective Services returned a child to her home after she had been removed, because allegations of physical abuse apparently could not be substantiated.

As I publish this post, the perpetrator’s hearing has been postponed. There has been no confession and Maleah’s remains have not yet been recovered. I can only pray that either a confession and/or cell phone data can lead authorities to wherever he hid her, allowing family, friends and the concerned public to lay this precious baby to rest.

 

Blessings,

Mary Hawkins

*** Please review this note regarding my process copied from the Diana Alvarez post located elsewhere on Living with Cards ***

Note regarding my process: I will only examine a Missing Persons case when I have a reasonable understanding of the circumstances surrounding the disappearance, a reliable timeline including the date, time and place the person was either discovered missing and/or reported missing to police, and the victim’s birth data. The birth data of the perpetrator/ prime suspect is helpful as well. I prefer to work with current cases.

Unlike psychics (no disrespect intended), I do not base my findings on dreams or visions, nor do I pull information out of the ethers (or my butt, depending on your level of skepticism). Rather, I read the ‘star language‘ contained in the forensic astrology charts that I examine and interpret it to the best of my ability.

The first step (after familiarizing myself with a case) is always the casting and examination of the relevant astrology chart(s), which are carefully compared to the victim’s natal chart before drawing any conclusions. Once that’s done, I may or may not throw a card spread or two to gain additional information, as I did here. Yes, intuition is involved. So is common sense. Everybody has both of these faculties to some degree or another.
