As I write this, the causes of Alzheimer’s remain unclear. Effective treatment barely exists. Nothing can currently halt or reverse it, though some treatments can ease symptoms or slow its progress. The most effective medical intervention today is to anticipate or catch its symptoms early when its development can still be delayed or reduced. If astrology can assist in anticipating the chance of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, it will be a great boon.

Astrological profiles for dementia are tentative, though we may be close to finding a pattern sufficient to give realistic warnings of someone’s increased vulnerability. Cases I have seen nearly always feature a clear affliction to Mercury. This makes sense for a disease group that compromises cognitive abilities like reasoning and remembering.

Dr. Millard’s nativity has other close background aspects suggesting possible health concerns, including Moon opposite Pluto (she tragically lost a daughter) and a Venus-Saturn conjunction square Mars (she wrote that she had a hyperactive thyroid). Regarding her Alzheimer’s disease, the relevant aspect seems to be a close mundane Mercury-Pluto square (1°20') as a variation of the “irregular brain formations” interpretation of that planet combination. Other chart factors may reflect quality of life details.

However, though dementia does seem to center on an afflicted Mercury, we cannot limit its emerging profile to Mercury-Pluto aspects specifically. Glen Campbell, Estelle Getty, Peter Falk, Joanne Woodward, Sean Connery, Burgess Meredith, and Elizabeth Claire Prophet had close Mercury-Mars aspects. Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater, and Aaron Spelling had close Mercury-Neptune. Tony Bennett had Mercury square Saturn. All these people had Alzheimer’s disease. Each had a closely afflicted Mercury.

Other (less common) cases can be found, of course, that do not fit this pattern. Nor will everyone with an afflicted Mercury develop dementia: For example, Mercury-Mars aspects are common for people who live and remain active and productive in their 80s and 90s. However, most who do develop dementia will have Mercury closely aspecting a malefic or Pluto. This seems a solid initial pointer toward a more sophisticated, reliable astrological profile.

What I saw with Biden in the Debate reminded me so much of the same type thinking/talking bizarre episodes with my Mother.

Its really a sad situation realized more so if you have any experience of living with someone exhibiting these type thinking/talking episodes. No matter what the cause for em when they happen they cannot function normally when the episode is happening.

I had my Mother's brain scanned when these episodes were happening and took-em to my doctor and he told me it was not a scan of someone who had dementia and agreed with my sitters that my Mother was experiencing mini strokes which in lot of cases can happen to senior people when they are asleep.

Regardless, Biden certainly lost the election with the mental episode he had in the debate.

I would be utterly shocked if she ran and won.
