The Many Faces of Love (Millard example)

Post by Jim Eshelman »

Laurie, Feb 24, 1961, 8:47 am, Portland, ME
Dr. Millard wrote:I saw Laurie with stomach pain and arthritis when she was only thirteen, and diagnosed gonorrhea. A few months later, she became pregnant, and gave birth to a son around her fifteenth birthday. He had a club foot... The young couple were married and the sixteen year old husband moved in to live with her family. He was as lazy and self-indulgent as Laurie... After about a year, her husband ran away, and she began dating again almost immediately.

The result was another attack of gonorrhea. This time it was not so easily cured, because it was the resistant South Asian strain... She was in great pain with spasm of the colon and inflammation of the tubes. It is likely to have made her sterile. Fortunately I was able to cure it with a new antibiotic, for it does not respond to penicillin.

...I treated her recently for scabies. Her husband has a brother who is living with them. He works on the night shift, and her husband works on the day shift, and they all sleep in one bed. They all had scabies, including the baby...
There are other details given, including a death of an older sister by leukemia when Laurie was four months old, and the fact her family was a well-behaved "rock of the community" type of respectable that probably enforced a tighter code of behavior than Laurie was likely to follow.

My analysis: These details aside, we have a single type of medical problem - recurring sexually transmitted disease (one of which triggered spastic colon and tube inflammation). Moon and Mars are both in Gemini, which doesn't fit any of this. Here are the background hard aspects:

0°38' M - Mercury-Uranus op
1°06' M - Venus-Pluto op
1°10' - Sun-Pluto op
1°28' - Moon-Mars co
2°02' M - Moon-Uranus sq
2°39' M - Moon-Mercury sq

I think the Moon-Mercury-Uranus mundane T-square mostly joined her Aquarius Sun to show her breaking-out temperament (Sun in Aquarius closely opposite Pluto).

I think the main indicators, though, are the Moon-Mars conjunction and Venus-Pluto opposition. The first (besides showing her evidently high-octane sex needs and recklessness) means inflammation and other damage (perhaps especially to the female reproductive system). Venus-Pluto connects to points in life of major hormonal shifts and is connected to sex-related afflictions.

The many Moon aspects (not only Mars but including both Mercury and Uranus) may have shown some sort of gynecological or hormonal trigger since all of this started at 13. You can read the standard medical interpretations of these aspects, but it may be part of the larger pattern as a physiological trigger of behavior.

But I think Moon-Mars and Venus-Pluto tell the part of the story known to us.
