She added that rather than try to restrain their sons, the parents "seemed rather to encourage [them] to do everything a normal child would do." This led to various accidents (sled, bike) with consequent hospitalizations. "He was encouraged to stand up for his rights at school, which meant many a bloody nose, and the was in hospital on the average six times a year." At the time of her writing he had graduated high school and was entering adulthood.Dr. Millard wrote:...eldest of three sons, all of whom are hemophiliacs. This is one of the worst hereditary diseases... painful and crippling when hemorrhage occurs in the joints, fatal when it occurs into the brain, always threatening, causing psychological as well as physical problems...

MY ANALYSIS: Stuart was a Capricorn-Virgo, which starts us down the right path. Capricorn children usually have hardship early in life (and, in his case, probably joint-crippling disabilities not long after we lost track of him). Virgo Moon boys tend to be bullied. The Capricorn Sun is square Neptune (background) - not uncommon for frequent convalescence or weakness - but partile trine Jupiter, probably showing he had a better life than most.
Pluto is the stronger foreground planet (plus a little Saturn), probably showing much about the life conditions from his disease. We might have a clue of the disease with the angular Pluto, but we need many more examples before suggesting this. A Virgo Moon might (by "reflex action," so-called) connect to the liver (normally a Pisces matter), but it's not the main message.
Mostly, I want to look at hard aspects, especially if background. Also, for a bleeding disease, I theoretically want Mars to be a big part of the picture. In the background, we do have Sun square Neptune, an aspect of convalescence and weakened vitality. I have listed "blood diseases" for it. This is a clean hit!
Speaking of "hit," I still want a major Mars involvement. Mars is in Aries, background. Only in the mundoscope do we see... a partile (0°59') Mars-Uranus square! At the least, this is consistent with a life of many accidents that landed him in the hospital. Read Millard's descriptive words above, though - about the ongoing threat, the continued pain, the too-easy and too-often bleeding. I do wonder if this aspect is perhaps linked directly to his disease. In any case, it describes the surrounding circumstances.
The two close background hard aspects describe his physical condition: Sun-Neptune and Mars-Uranus. Capricorn Sun appears for childhood hardships. Angular Pluto suggests that something highly unusual and "outlier" would mark the life.
