Vanished Without a Trace: Robin Ann Graham

Robin Graham was a college student who disappeared from a Los Angles freeway on November 15th 1970. She has not been heard from since, and there are no clues as to her whereabouts or subsequent fate. Robin was out for the night with friends, and she was seen later by officers on the California Highway at approximately 2.00 am on November 15th, she was beside her car on the southbound on Hollywood Freeway, and she was in the presence of a dark haired white man estimated to be in his mid twenties. Robin used a call box to ask that the operator let her parents know that she had run out of gas; her younger sister took the call and relayed the information to her parents - who returned at 2.30 am. They went immediately to the location, and found Robin’s car but she was missing. It was suspected that she was a victim of the Zodiac Killer. To this day her case remains an unsolved mystery.

Astrological Chart

Robin has four planets in Cancer, and this is a vulnerable and sensitive sign. Her Sun is conjunct Venus in Cancer and shows a pleasing and gentle personality. Her Sun in Cancer is square to Saturn in Libra; she had self-doubt around her own self-sufficiency, and she lacked self confidence, however, she has a serious and responsible disposition. The aspect can show difficulty with men, and for a Cancerian she would have been feeling very vulnerable, scared and anxious in this kind of situation. Any woman would feel this way stranded on a motorway. Her Sun and Venus in Cancer trine Mars in Scorpio, and shows an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual, she related well to the opposite sex. This is a contradiction to my previous statement, but she was popular. She had great sensitivity and intensity, along with a warm sociable aura. According to James Braha, "There is personality and presence here. The person is well loved and not easily forgotten ". Seventeen years after her disappearance an ad appeared in the newspaper that read “Dearest Robin, you ran out of gas on the Hollywood Freeway. A man in a corvette pulled over to help. You’ve not been seen of since. It’s been 17 years, but it’s always just yesterday. Still looking for you.” It turned out to be written by a friend still living in the neighbourhood. He simply wanted to express that Robin had not been forgotten.

Transits at the time of her disappearance -

Transiting Jupiter in Scorpio and Saturn in Taurus were in opposition to one another, and both squared natal Pluto in Leo. A fixed t-square to Pluto represents a time of psychological darkness, obsession, power struggles, and dangerous passions erupting. You can manipulate or be manipulated under hard aspects to Pluto - and there can be an all or nothing approach to life at this time. It is a very difficult t-square and it connects to her nodal axis. Transiting Saturn square Pluto is extremely powerful and it often appears around events that are not in your control. Some call it fate, but it usually represents that we are up against something that is out of our hands. You could say she was in "the wrong place at the wrong time", but it coincided with her difficult transits. Transitng Neptune was not featured powerfully in her chart, it inconjucts her Sun and Venus exactly. I only use the major aspects, but this may be something to consider.Transiting Chiron opposed Saturn in Libra, and this aspect can describe insurmountable wounding and obstacles around her identity and relationships. In this case the transits don’t seem to favour the best outcome, but astrology cannot predict exact events it only shows symbolism.
