Was Anna Nicole's Death Accidental?

The unsettling yet sadly unsurprising news that Anna Nicole Smith is dead has hardly sunken in. But already, all manner of theories have been floated, many by me. Did Anna OD accidentally? Did Howard K. Stern do her in (and fake fathering daughter Dannielynn) to get his hands on her ex-hubby's money? Did she die of a broken heart over son Daniel's death? Her astrological chart may provide some glimpses of insight into this predictable yet mysterious tragedy.

In November, when Anna was hospitalized, allegedly for flu-like symptoms, I warned of transiting Neptune's influence, creating a dreamy, escapist, fantasy-world mentality as it squared her Mercury. {Full story}At the time of her death*, the Sun was almost exactly conjunct Neptune, in an almost exact square to her Mercury. This speaks to an urge to blot out consciousness, and what may have been a confused miscalculation about self-medicating.

The transiting Sun and Neptune are trining Anna's Venus, adding to the picture of a self-indulgent illusion.

Transiting Saturn in Leo is within 2 1/2° of an opposition to the Sun-Neptune conjunction, forming a T-square with Anna's Mercury. Obviously, this represents the harsh limit to Anna's escapist mentality -- and to her ambition for the spotlight.

Pluto is also squaring Anna's Uranus ... could dark, conspiratorial forces be operating under the surface? Or does this represent the demons stirring under the surface of Anna's plastic facade for so long?

I wish I had Anna's exact time of birth and death, but so far the picture, cloudy though Neptune makes it, seems to suggest more an accidental overdose for someone who had been living in a fog too long, than a calculated plot.

More on this complex tale soon ... we haven't gotten to the bottom of this by any means. Even before Anna's death I had intended to do a reading for her sketchy partner Howard, and now that insight may be even more crucial. Stay tuned....

*I have calculated a chart for Anna's death based on estimates from current available reports but will hold off posting an event chart until a more exact time can be identified. Thanks much to Reader T for helping out with the data search.
