Is forensic astrology evidence?

No. It generates hypotheses about timing, direction, and relationships that must be corroborated with records, maps, and professional investigation.

What chart do I cast?

Start with the most reliable incident timestamp and location (e.g., last‑seen time, 911 call). See the event‑chart guide for nuance and pitfalls.

Yes. Vox Stella’s Forensic Dashboard turns chart signals into auditable vectors, role maps, deception scoring, and one‑click exports for faster testing.

What Is Forensic Astrology? Methods, Ethics, and Use Cases

Forensic astrology applies traditional techniques to real‑world incidents—disappearances, crimes, sudden events—to form testable hypotheses about timelines, direction of travel, roles, and likely outcomes. It is decision support, not evidence. Used responsibly, it helps researchers and investigators prioritize leads, organize canvass routes, and reconcile witness accounts with clocks, maps, and records.

What It Is (and Isn’t)

Is: A structured lens for pattern‑finding. Event charts and related horary frameworks highlight timing windows, directional cues, and relationship links that you can compare with call logs, CCTV, license plate reads, and other data.

Isn’t: Proof or a replacement for professional investigation. Charts generate hypotheses. Findings must be corroborated with facts and handled with care, especially in sensitive cases.

Core Methods

Most work starts from a reliable time stamp tied to the incident (last‑seen time, 911 call, doorbell camera, first report). From there, practitioners typically:

Cast an event chart for the exact time and location; assess ASC ruler, Moon condition, angularity, and dominant dignities.
Map role dynamics (victim vs. perpetrator) via 1st/7th rulers and co‑significators; check receptions and dispositors.
Score deception indicators and narrative control patterns (Mercury condition, 3rd/9th/12th links).
Extract directional vectors and distance bands from house emphasis and angular symbolism.
Track closure signals (IC ruler, aspects to the Moon, Saturn/Jupiter testimonies) for recovery or procedural endings.

Ethics and Safeguards

Human impact first. Avoid speculation that harms families or ongoing cases. Share findings privately and responsibly.
Chain of plausibility. Always tie claims to verifiable timestamps, documents, and maps; prefer converging signals over single testimonies.
Clear labeling. Treat outputs as hypotheses to test—not conclusions.

Where It Helps

Prioritizing search: convert chart vectors into bearings and distance bands to plan canvass zones.
Timeline triage: focus on specific windows (Moon’s next aspect; angular changes) for footage review or ALPR pulls.
Link analysis: evaluate victim–perpetrator ties via receptions and house connections to triage leads.
Cross‑checking accounts: use 3rd/9th/12th patterns for narrative control and deception screens.

A Faster, Auditable Workflow

Our Forensic Dashboard turns event charts into an auditable packet: role‑colored bearings, distance rings, deception scoring, and one‑click exports. It speeds up the parts you’d do by hand—so you can test hypotheses against ground truth faster.

When Not to Use It

Skip or pause analysis when times are unreliable, when publishing would cause harm, or when investigators request a hold. In all cases, treat astrology as context—not cause.

Summary

Forensic astrology is a disciplined way to form and test hypotheses about incidents. With reliable timestamps, ethical safeguards, and auditable tools, it can help prioritize effort and accelerate discovery—always alongside professional investigation.
