Because of my own neurodivergence of Dyslexia and Dyspraxia which was
treated with special education therapies, I have always wondered what
can be astrological indicators for neurodivergence. I have never felt
satisfied with anything that I read.
Since the discovery of the kuiper belt objects(aka transneptunian
objects) which were previously unknown for a long time, I have been
wondering how much they figure into neurodivergence which has been
unknown for a long time too. Neurodivergent conditions are so hard to
pin down that they are misunderstood. You could even say that they
are hidden handicaps. Autism was once thought to be a childhood
schizophrenia. Even now, many autistics are being treated with
antipsychotics like Risperdal. Some of my fellow Dyspraxics in the UK
even told me that many neurodivergents in the UK have been
misdiagnosed schizophrenic or bipolar. I have read a story about an
autistic woman that has been given diagnoses of bipolar and
schizophrenia in the past. Also in the DSM-IV-TR, the soft
neurological signs of schizophrenia are also symptoms of
neurodivergence like poor coordination,left-right
confusion,disorganization,and speech disturbances. The nonlinear
thought processes of neurodivergents have been mistakened for
psychotic thinking. Even psychiatrist,neurologist,author of numerous
books on cerebellar-vestibular related Dyslexia Syndrome,Dr. Harold
N. Levinson points out the need to distinguish neurodivergent speech
from psychotic speech. As you see, neurodivergent conditions are
so misunderstood,hard to pin down,and are often highly unknown to the
common folk.
Autism is one of the most complicated,misunderstood conditions. Like
I have said before,it was once thought to be a type of schizophrenia.
The high intelligence of many nonverbal autistics have been wrongly
examined with verbal intelligence tests when they should be given
visual spatial intelligence tests which they are found to do much
better on than verbal tests to the point that there can be up to 30
point increase. There are autistics that are even highly educated
like Dr. Temple Grandin who got early intervention in the form of
speech therapy to help her communicate in words. She wrote a book
called "Thinking In Pictures" which describes her thought processes
of her autism and how she is an extremely visual thinker that her
thoughts are like movies.All the planets beyond Saturn are referred to as outerplanets, and so
they are related to metaphysical energies. Uranus is the planet of
liberation from boundaries as it breaks way with its need for
independence,and it is associated with innovation and intuitive
flashes. Neptune is the planet of dissolution of boundaries as it
pierces the veil to reveal another world,and it is associated with
imagination,inspiration, and psychism. Pluto is the planet of
elimination of boundaries, and is compared to being the other side -
this could be death,afterlife,or could be the subterranean depths of
the human psyche. It is possible that Pluto's fellow transneptunian
objects could be similar to Pluto. I believe that Pluto and its
fellow transneptunians can be energies so metaphysical that they can
be hard to handle and can manifest as problems on the physical plane
such as serious health problems,psychiatric disorders, and even
neurodivergence which are often subtle in their own way and very
misunderstood. These aren't necessarily bad things.
Neurodivergence tends to be very misunderstood,and it was unknown for
a long time. The issues tend to be subtle. They have also been known
as hidden handicaps. There is a book called DYSPRAXIA: THE HIDDEN
HANDICAP by Dr. Amanda Kirby who has a Dyspraxic son herself. With
that in mind, I believe that it makes sense that the kuiper belt
objects associated with the unknown,hidden,subtleties could be
indicators for neurodivergence.
Many neurotypical(normal neurological processing) people focus on
neurodivergence as a disorder,and so they would tend to focus on the
hard aspects, but I don't see it as disorder but a different,neutral
way of thinking. That's how many of us neurodivergents see
neurodivergence as being. That's why we believe in neurodiversity.
Therefore, I don't just look for planetary afflictions. I also
looked at the esoteric aspects because even though they are
subtle,they can be significant. After all, it is subtle differences
that we neurodivergents tend to have,and we even tend to be extremely
sensitive to subtleties any way even if we don't understand
them...especially if we are overwhelmed. That tends to be a common
thing with people that have sensory integration issues which is very
common with neurodivergent people including especially autistics.
Therefore, I am approaching this chart from the neurodivergent
perpective and not a neurotypical perspective.
This chart is about Corky who was mentioned in the article about
autism. Please note that this article was written in 2000 before
Eris,Sedna,and many other transneptunian objects were discovered.
There would have been no way of knowing that Corky had any aspects
involving Eris,Sedna,nor any other transneptunians that might be
indicators of his neurodivergence.

I believe that Eris has to do with divergence with often calls for
tolerance of diversity and may need advocacy for equal rights. named
after Eris whose discovererer said that the mythological Eris caused
strife and discord among people by making them think their opinions
are right and others' are wrong. The minor goddess and twin sister of
Ares who wasn't even invited to a wedding because she was a
troublemaker even though her own troubling making twin brother was
invited. Not only that..the other deities weren't all innocent either
for they have a history of being cruel,nasty to mortals and even to
each other. Her disruption of the wedding of the golden apple showed
the petty vanities of the beautiful goddesses to which she had no
comparison because of her ugliness. Eris is a distant transneptunian
with a highly elliptical orbit,and that can indicate a metaphysical
and divergent nature.
I believe that Sedna has to do with being "out of this
world",remoteness with Neptune-like characteristics named after an
Inuit Sea Goddess that lived down in the far depths of the cold
arctic ocean. It was said that she was killed by her own father who
tried to throw her overboard. She clung onto the boat,but her father
chopped off her fingers,and so she sank to the watery depths. Sedna
is a very distant transneptunian, most distant when at aphelion,
and so with a much colder surface compared to other objects in our
solar system...that fits with the "out of this world"ness,remoteness
metaphysical nature.
birthdata
Corky
Birth: 1/9/1962, 12:23 p.m. AHST, Honolulu, Hawaii
I checked the 7th harmonic for its otherworldliness which could
manifest in being in this world but not of it which could figure into
both schizophrenia but also autism. Like I said before, autism was
once mistaken for schizophrenia. Even today, many autistics are even
being treated with antipsychotics...especially Risperdal which has
been approved for treating autism.
according to Robert Hand,
7th Harmonic has a Uranus-Neptune flavor, energy linkings not
entirely of this world. Creative inspiration,but also mental and
emotional difficulties and tenuous connectedness with the physical
universe. religion
In Corky's chart
He has a 7th harmonic triangle of Moon,Venus,Sedna
Moon septile Venus - '38
Moon septile Sedna - '14
Venus biseptile Sedna - '23
(with a corresponding midpoint picture of
Moon conjunct Venus/Sedna - '26)
This could indicate
emotional nature,love nature,and "out of this world" ,remoteness are
in an otherworldly connection that can have mental,emotional
(especially) difficulties,and tenuous connectedness with the physical
universe.
Sedna biseptile Midheaven - '55
"out of this world",remoteness and aim of life,social status in an
otherworldly connection that can have mental,emotional
difficulties,and tenuous connectedness with the physical universe.
Mercury triseptile Uranus - '35
(mental activity and higher mental activity in an otherworldly
connection that can have mental(especially),emotional
difficulties,and tenuous connected with the physical
universe...definitely can indicate somebody that thinks outside the
box.
I also checked for other harmonics...especially to see if there were
any other harmonic aspect patterns like he has with the 7th harmonic.
11th harmonic is associated with social consciousness, but it also
can be a rebellious energy. It is associated with
Uranian,Aquarian,11th house traits.
He has Sun,Neptune,Sedna in 11th harmonic triangle
Sun biundecile Neptune - '35
Sun triundecile Sedna - '06
Neptune quadraundecile Sedna - '41
This indicates that self expression,ego, imagination,sensitivity,
and "out of this world"ness,remoteness are in a connection pertaining
to social consciousness,rebelliousness....in a sense this is a
configuration that indicate that he is far outside the norm
He has Moon,Mercury,Eris in 11th harmonic triangle
Moon undecile Mercury - '37
Moon undecile Eris - '54
Mercury biundecile Eris - '16
(with corresponding midpoint picture
of Mercury square Moon/Eris - '46)
This indicates that emotional nature,mental activity,and divergence
are in a connection pertaining to social
consciousness,rebelliousness...in a sense this is a configuration of
neurodivergent that is highly divergent from the norm
He has Mercury,Ceres,Eris in 11th harmonic triangle
Mercury triundecile Ceres - 1'04
Mercury biundecile Eris - '16
Ceres undecile Eris - '47
Mercury is binovile Neptune - '32
mental activity and imagination,visualization are connected. This
could indicate his ability to think in pictures which autistic Temple
Grandin wrote that she as an autistic naturally does. Robert Hand
says that the novile has to do with completions,endings; what life
produces in the long run;needs and capacities in relationships and
marriage.
Mercury biquintile Pluto - '13 minutes
This could indicate that his mind is intense,but it can obsessive-
compulsions. Robert Hand said that the quintile has quality similar
to that associated with Pluto,with overtones of Venus and Mars:some
kind of concrete creation or destruction is effected.
transformational change. the ability to express creative inspiration
in concrete creations.
He also had close aspects involving other kuiper belt objects which
can be about the metaphysical but can manifest as problems on the
physical plane.
Mercury oppose Makemake - '59
This could indicate that the mental activity can be metaphysical,and
so can have problems on the physical plane.
Makemake biseptile Ascendant - '01
This could indicate a metaphysically oriented person that can have
have problems on the physical plane. mental,emotional
difficulties,and tenuous connectedness with the physical universe is.
Quaoar oppose Ascendant - '03
This could indicate a metaphysically oriented person that can have
have problems on the physical plane.
Mercury is biseptile Quaoar - '58
This could indicate that the mental activity can be
metaphysical,otherworldly and can involve mental difficulties and
tenuous connectedness with the physical universe
Moon quintile Varuna - '13
This could indicate emotional nature in a creative,obsessive link
with the metaphysical,problems with the physical plane are possible.
