Lucy Letby's Astrology Break-down

Lucy Letby is a former neonatal nurse, convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill another six at Chester Hospital in England between June 2015 and June 2016 at the neonatal unit where she worked. The tabloids called her an angel of death.

Lucy Letby's trial was a lengthy and complex process that spanned multiple years. The initial trial began on October 2022, at Manchester Crown Court and lasted approximately 10 months. On August 2023, she was sentenced to life imprisonment with a whole life order.

There are fresh questions being raised about evidence, and whether she got a fair trial or not. If you’ve followed this case and whether you are in the she’s guilty camp or not, here is some food for thought with respect to her natal chart and her secondary progressions.

We don’t have a birth time for the convict Lucy Letby, so we’ll work with a noon chart. Letby famously has a stellium of 5 planets in Capricorn: Sun, Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. That is a huge amount of untapped, somber Capricorn energy. Mars is in Sagittarius, forming a semi-sextile to her Sun and Neptune. But if we look behind the curtains at her declinations, we can see that Mars is joining them in. She has Sun, Saturn, Mars and Neptune all in parallel aspect to each other. This adds another dimension to the doom and gloom energy; this could mean trouble.

Her Sun (her identity) is jammed between Saturn and Neptune, forming a quite challenging aspect. This placement creates a tension between the imaginative and idealistic energy of Neptune and the structured, disciplined influence of Saturn. As a result of this placement, she may experience confusion about her purpose and goals in life, which can lead to self-doubt or disillusionment.

Adding to the complexity, Chiron’s opposition to the Saturn-Sun-Neptune conjunction introduces themes of deep emotional and psychological wounds. These wounds may stem from childhood experiences and extend into her adult psyche, exposing vulnerabilities that make fulfilling responsibilities feel overwhelming and mentally taxing. This aspect can also stir feelings of unworthiness and a struggle to feel truly appreciated.

The first recorded criminal offence linked to her took place on June 8th, 2015.

Let’s take a look at her secondary progressions during this time. Her Mars has just changed signs (0 degrees of Cap) and it is a big deal. When a planet has newly changed signs in Secondary Progressions, it denotes a significant personal changes for the native. What’s more, Mars is now out-of-bounds. When a planet is out-of-bounds it makes the qualities of that planet to go off balance, break free of the norm. Her out-of-bounds Uranus is now accompanied by out-of-bounds Mars: Dangerous experimentation joined by aggression is one way to interpret it.
