Ken Lamberton's background

Ken Lamberton's background

Ken Lamberton was a 27 year old married teacher, with young daughters of his own, who ran off with 14 year old Kelly Gregan, a pupil of his, and they were on the run for two weeks until they were caught, after which he served 12 years in jail.

His story is of particular interest to me because he and I share the same birthday, although I do not know his time of birth, and Minnesota is a long way from London. Due to the same date of birth, I can relate to things he lived through by contrasting them to different things that I experienced, both at the same time, and at other times. The difference was that for me it was my second Saturn Return and Mrs Jones was a whole Saturn cycle older than Kelly, albeit just as unobtainable. The two of them share significant astrological features [that I can't go into], and that really makes the story hit home for me. What I think this does show is that the patterns in all our charts become activated in ways that fit both us, and our circumstances, as well as other people and their circumstances.

It is of astrological interest that for Ken the events leading up to his arrest, and his prison sentence, coincided with his Saturn Return, together with Uranus transits to Saturn, and once in prison, Pluto transits to his stellium of Sun, Venus and Jupiter.

It is also of some curiosity, to me at any rate, that Ken's name is Lamberton, and I live just outside the village of Lamerton in Devon.
