His parents had just separated. He had strictly (perhaps severely) disciplined by his mother (not surprising with Moon square Saturn. That seemed to be a controlling aspect, affecting his mood and shutting down his emotional responses. When he started school, his I.Q. was tested at nearly 120, but he was sullen, uncooperative, wouldn't do his work. Many other things written about his character and circumstances fit his Sidereal chart rather well (such simple things as a Libra Moon square Saturn while Sun is in Gemini).He had otitis media [inflammation of the inner ear] every time I saw him [which was since he was 4 years old], and was becoming deaf. I could not cure it with antibiotics, but finally had a gamma globulin electrophoresis and found that his Ig A was extremely low. This is not especially rare, as it occurs in about one out of six hundred children. It was treated with injections of gamma globulin, and probably this saved his hearing from permanent damage.
He was a handsome child, sturdy and well-knit, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Psychologically, he obviously was not normal. He did not play with other children... I thought he might be autistic. He had an older sister and a younger sister who played together, but Tim always played alone... The clinic psychologist estimated his I.Q. as "low, borderline normal." He was not an easy child to test, as he refused to co-operate, and it was thought that the result showed psychological problems rather than low intelligence. Indeed this later proved to be the case.
Around 10-11 he started having seizures. "There was no loss of consciousness, but there was the blank expression and fits of rage which are characteristic of temporal lobe or psychomotor seizures." - There is much in this case history for an astrologer to trace through.
MY ANALYSIS: So many of these severe medical examples are so very straightforward! Tim has Moon in Libra, afflicted! Both the ear infections and the temporal lobe problems come under this part of the body (the head - always to include the inner ear, the area of balance). Moon squares Saturn < 3° and very widely conjoins Neptune. It also has a mundane square to Uranus, though I'm not sure what that means.
I could analyze the character at length: Libra Moons are normally social (the "beautiful baby" implicitly described above) but, when afflicted - when they become aberrant - it is a breakdown of social connection if not outright antisocial behavior.
The chart seems superficially lovely, with Gemini-Libra luminaries and Jupiter 6° off MC. But Saturn square the Libra Moon is consistent with pretty much all the problems above (fine-tuned by other aspects in the chart). It would have been easy recognize that a Gemini-Libra child who chooses always to play alone - not with others, not to be "in on the game" - had psychological problems. I might have suspected schizophrenia, but at least social isolation.
But for the purely medical patterns, he really had two problems: recurring inflammation of the inner ear and seizures from temporal lobe anomalies. Both of these are in the Libra part of the body and shown (like many of the circumstances of his life) by a Libra Moon in Class 1 square to Saturn.
