Scoliosis
Posted: Sun Jul 08, 2018 6:52 pm
In the August 1973 issue of American Astrology was a letter from a "Heartbroken Scorpio" whose 8-year-old daughter had developed an acute scoliosis and would have to wear a back brace 23 hours a day until two years after she finished growing. The mother wanted to know if the girl would perhaps develop faster than other children - in other words, the mother already wanted the whole thing over with!
Birth data: May 3, 1965, 3:45 AM CST, 30N55, 88W35. Chart is below.
This chart was important to me because it started to plant the seeds of what became my understanding of medical astrology. It became one of the early members of my collection of serious medical condition charts where the condition was most clearly shown by strong hard aspects in the background. Notice that there is an acute Mars-Saturn-Uranus-Pluto opposition in the background, with most of those planets square a background Moon. Leo-Aquarius (depending on which model you prefer) corresponds to the spine.
The editor (Bradley) BTW counselled that mother's best help to her daughter would be to stop being heartbroken and start making this just another feature of life. He (almost subtly), with an eye to that afflicted Moon, advised her not to make "troublesome mother" another burden the girl had to bear.
