Hi all,What would be indicators of learning disabilities/special needs stuff
that you would look for in a person's chart? What about indicators for
having learning disabled/special needs
children,spouse,sibling,mother,father,and/or other significant people.
When I am talking about special needs(I am talking about learning
disabilities,autism,mental retardation,Aspergers,ADHD...anything that
requires special attention especially when it comes to development/education but not having to do with mental illness)
My mother had special needs/learning disabled child,and that's me with my Dyslexia,Dyspraxia and was in special education(motor skills therapy,auditory therapy,speech therapy,and phonics training) in my early elementary school years. My father had Dyslexic,Dyspraxic traits
including speech problems(stuttering,cluttering),needing things repeated,highly emotional,hypersensitivity,and awkwardness with his hands. He also had drug problems too. He might have had AD/HD. He was
also diagnosed as having paranoid schizophrenia by prison psychiatrist(this was back in the 1960's when many blacks didn't have civil rights...blacks were viewed rather negatively). He believed in Voodoo too,and he was raised by his grandmother that believed in magickal protection. He was very superstitious. My father was born in
New Orleans and raised in Lake Charles,Louisiana.
I,myself was diagnosed as an adult as having schizoaffective bipolar disorder because of my cluttering without any psychological nor
neurological testing being done. His Moon in Pisces(same moon placement as me) and stationary retrograde Neptune indicates his
extremely sensitive nature.
My father was black,but my mom is white. Therefore my mother was in interracial relationship and has mixed ethnic child. My mother always was attracted to black men but never to white men. My mother told me that she has a lot of the Dyslexic symptoms too. She also has AD/HD symptoms. She has a history of drug and alcohol abuse.
I feel that my Mom's indicators for special need/learning disabled children and lover are:
5th house ruler Venus conjunct Uranus squaring Neptune in Libra in 5th. Chiron in 8th square Neptune in 5th and oppose Venus in 2nd for t-square. Sun in 12th house trine Neptune in 5th.
She has 9th house ruler Uranus conjunct Venus can be lovers of other cultures that include different ethnicities. Her relationships didn't last long. She also had relationship with step first cousin which produced a son that was given up for adoption,and she was only 15 at the time. This could be her Scorpio Moon in 5th house square Pluto in
3rd as well as her Saturn in Scorpio in 5th house. This was before she met my father in San Francisco. She didn't tell me about until 1993 when I was 21 years old. This happened to be only a couple of months before my father died. I found out about my father's death on December 31, 2002. I found out from social security california death record
index on internet. My mother thought he OD'd when I was a baby,and so she was surprised that he lived much longer and was in Los Angeles area which was where my father's uncle lived. My uncle got my father
selling drugs for him when my father was 19 shortly after my father moved to Los Angeles from Louisiana to be with his uncle who was
financially well-off. My father's family didn't know that he made his
money illegally.
My mother had romances with older men,and she has 7th house ruler Saturn in Scorpio in 5th house sextile Mars-descendant conjunction in
Capricorn. My father was almost 31 years old and my mother was 17 when I was born. My mother married a black man that was 25 yrs older than her(6 yrs older than her father),but that was a marriage of convenience. He was retired Air Force with service connected disability. She was divorced in 1991 after being married since 1977.
My mother and father were never married,and so I am illegitimate. I even have my mother's maiden name for last name.
I feel that my Pisces Moon in 6th house square the opposition of 7th
house ruler Neptune in 3rd and 5th house ruler Saturn in Gemini in 9th house not only
indicates my being a special needs/learning
disabled(Dyslexic,Dyspraxic person)but also my parents who had Dyslexic,Dyspraxic symptoms too. It is very possible that I could have special needs/learning disabled children that inherit my Dyslexia,Dyspraxia. was romantically attracted to gals with Dyslexia,ADHD. The first girl that I ever liked was a special ed girl that I knew that I was in special education when I was in 2nd grade,and she grew up to be a heavy drinker,promiscuous,and deceptive. She even used me for money.
I am involved with a woman right now,and she knows about my history of
Dyslexia,Dyspraxia and the mental health problems(Anxiety,Depression
and psychiatric misdiagnoses) that I had connected to those things.
She understands me and doesn't look down upon me because of those things. She's white,and so it's interracial relationship
I think her indicators of being involved with a special needs/learning disabled man are Moon in 7th/near 8th house cusp sextile stationary Neptune which trines her intercepted Mars in Aries in 1st which
opposes her Moon in 7th/near 8th house cusp.
Her intercepted Sun-Mercury in 1st trine 9th house ruler Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Sagittarius in 9th can indicate involved with men of other ethnicities with special needs/learning disabilities which
included also thinking outside the box.
Interestingly one of her exboyfriends was in special education,and he was very insecure because of that.
As an astrologer with history of learning disabilities/special needs,I would like to focus on learning disabled/special needs charts. After all,many of them do have psychological/psychiatric problems. That's
understandably so. Astrology has a lot to do with psychology,and so I feel astrologers should focus on learning disabilities/special needs stuff. I haven't seen any astrology book on any of those things even though learning disabilities is a problem that can lead to so many things that include problems with being misunderstood,being ridiculed,made fun of,being rejected, being bullied,even
bullying,alcoholism,drug use,substance abuse,unemployment,failed relationships,bad relationships,being in jail/prison,breaking the law,abusive relationships,child abuse, and just plain overall insecurity and low self esteem including belief of being stupid and incompetent.
Of course, many learning disabled are successful too. Tom Cruise,the
highest paid actor in Hollywood,is Dyslexic.
Some think President Bush is Dyslexic like his brother Neil. Of course,a lot of people think he's stupid too. I have know liberals
that pointed out how stupid he is just because of his speech errors while talking which some say is related to word retrieval issues that are common in Dyslexics. I have the same problems myself,but I am not
stupid. I have above average intelligence like many learning disabled people. BTW...I am not a supporter of Bush. I am liberal myself. I just don't like to see anybody referred to as being stupid because of
how they talk because that has happened to me.
No matter how we are, not everybody is going to like us. There will always be people that will dislike us...even for just being born. All we can do is just be ourselves and treat people like fellow human beings. Mainly treat each other like we want to be treated.
I believe in the dream of my fellow Pisces Moon,Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
I feel that my multiethnic ancestry, Dyslexic,Dyspraxic,special ed
experiences,misdiagnoses,and being mistreated/mistakened for gay have
helped me learn lessons of Unity/Universal love that seem fitting for
my Pisces Moon square Neptune. My biggest disappointment is that many
people don't share the idealism of universal love/unity which is mainly the things that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr stood for.
That's why I find Unitarian Universalism to be the perfect religion for me too. It's all about tolerance and acceptance.
