Last Sunday, I formed Neuro-Diversity Meetup Group for people with neurological/learning differences. I am using it as stepping stone to forming a nonprofit neuro-diversity organization. http://www.meetup.com/Neurodiversity-Meetup-Group/ July 12, 2009
Sacramento,California
4:02 PM
Sun-Mercury in Cancer,Moon-Uranus in Pisces, Ascendant in Scorpio in trine to each other is a good combination of nurturing,empathy,sensitivity,communications/information,regeneration,transformation,and change which I feel is important in a group like this because these are things tha tend to be in high focus in their lives any way. Uranus aspects also fit with innovation. Venus is quintile Uranus too,and that adds to the emphasis on innovation.
I wanted Sedna prominent in the chart with it opposing/conjuncting the Ascendant/Descendant axis,sextiling Sun-Mercury, and almost exactly sextiling the Moon for emphasis on compassion and higher consciousness which I feel Sedna is about. A social worker that works with children with neurological/learning differences has already joined the meetup group. Sedna is a transneptunian object with highly elliptical orbit, and so it fits with how people with neurological/learning differences are not naturally conforming to the norms of society. They tend to not fit with stereotypical roles. Negatives of Sedna are victimization and abuse.
Saturn is also prominent with it opposing Moon,sextiling Sun-Mercury,and sextiling the Ascendant. This fits with the group having discipline and structure. It's good for grounding. This will be very practical group. There won't be a metaphysical emphasis, and so Astrology won't be discussed. Because I want to use this group as a stepping stone to forming a nonprofit organization which I want to be in the mainstream, I feel that it would be best to leave out metaphysical things. However, the Indigo,Crystal concept will be discussed but in a critical and practical way and how it fits with neurological/learning differences.
Ceres is also prominent with it opposing Moon,sextiling Sun-Mercury,and sextiling the Ascendant. That fits with a strong nurturing emphasis. With it being in the sign of Virgo, there is a strong emphasis on health and nutrition. There will be discussions about those things as well as vitamins/minerals and Omega 3 fatty acids.
the retrograde Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron conjunction in Aquarius in 3rd house fits with humanitarianism,special needs involving education,learning as well as the internet. It also fits with the rightbrained,nonlinear thinking/learning which is typical of many people with neurological/learning differences but also the misunderstanding of those differences.
The Sun-Mercury is also biquintile the conjunction, and so there can be a creativity in the group.
There is a conjunction of Venus and Mars in Gemini in 7th trine/sextiling the Lunar Nodes in Aquarius in 3rd and Leo in 9th which fits with the combination of relating and assertion in communications with emphasis on individuality and communication. Of course the North Lunar Node in Aquarius in 3rd fits perfectly with humanitarian emphasis on communications and learning in general.
Chart ruler Pluto retrograde in Capricorn in 2nd trine Midheaven could be good for transformation and being resourceful.
Now looking at the hard aspects that some would find negative. I don't believe in negative aspects. I believe so-called negative aspects have to do with challenges that need to be addressed. When they are worked on and resolved, they become strengths. They deal with understanding through experiences which give them insight into other's with similar experiences.
I see Moon in Pisces oppose Saturn in Virgo, and I see that the group will focus a lot of mental health problems.
Mental health problems (especially anxiety,depression) are very common in people with neurological/learning differences. They tend to be symptoms that are secondary, but they often been mistaken for primary causation. Neurological/learning differences have often been misdiagnosed as psychiatric disorders. Mental health problems are always checked for when doing neuropsychological testing for learning/neurological differences. Mental health problems can lead to learning problems, but they can co-exist with neurological/learning differences. Both learning/neurological differences and mental health problems can stem from problems with the nervous system. For example, Omega 3 fatty acid deficiencies are found to be linked to not only learning/neurological differences but also psychiatric problems. Cerebellar Vestibular Dysfunction aka Vestibular Disorder (inner ear problems) is also connected to the aforementioned things. Of course, brain diseases like Huntington's are known for causing both neurological and psychological problems.
Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune in 3rd square the Ascendant fits with addressing special education needs,personality differences and the misunderstanding,mislabeling,psychiatric misdiagnosing that tends to occur with these matters. It also fits with drug and alcohol issues which are common in people with learning/neurological differences. The square to the Descendant fits with the social,relationship difficulties that many people with neurological/learning differences tend to have. For example, problems with eye contact tends to be viewed as a lack of respect,dishonesty but also shyness,but they are also sensory integration/coordination issues that many people with neurological/learning differences have.
Sun-Mercury in 8th square Eris in 5th fits with issues of neurodiversity involving intimacy,romance,and children. It also fit with dealing with controversial matters. It might have to do with bigotry that affects psychiatric diagnoses. There can be issues dealing with racism and sexism that factors into psychiatric diagnoses. Discussions of those things do tend to be controversial. There could be debates. Of course divergent viewpoints do seem like a strong emphasis too.
Eris quincunx Ascendant also fits with the Divergent personality that can be viewed as controversial.
Sun-Mercury conjunction is conjunct the Heliocentric North Pluto Node in 20'25 Cancer in 8th
That is similar to Sun-Mercury conjunct Pluto, but this is more about the collective. The heliocentric nodes have to do with the collective.
This is about collective transformation,regeneration
I feel that it fits with my goal of using this meetup group as a stepping stone to forming a nonprofit neurodiversity organization.
according to Cosmobiologist Pamela Rowe:
"WORLD EVENTS AND FAMOUS PEOPLE
If the theory holds water we can expect, when glancing down the list of dates when the Geocentric Sun is conjunct the individual Heliocentric Planetary Nodes, that the dates are close to pivotal world events. Also the birthdays of famous and infamous people, who made or continue to make, an impact on the group consciousness of society. The type of impact made is described by the interpretation of the particular Planetary Node. Some interesting world events are ARMISTICE DAY November 11, 1918, the news that World War I had finished, coincides with the Sun conjunct Mercury South Nodes. The D-DAY INVASION OF EUROPE LANDINGS on June 6, 1944, coincides with the Sun conjunct Uranus North Nodes. http://www.astrologycosmobiology.com.au/planetary_nodes.html
Ceres is sextile/trine the Heliocentric North Pluto Nodes is nurturing in relation to collective transformation,regeneration
Mercury is sextile/trine the Heliocentric North Mars Nodes in 19'38 Taurus/Scorpio and Heliocentric Mars Nodes in 18'26 Taurus/Scorpio shows communications in connection to collective action and collective communications.

“It is absolutely the perfect name,” Dr. Brown said, given the continuing discord among astronomers and the public over whether Pluto should have retained its planetary status.
In mythology, Eris ignited discord that led to the Trojan War.
“She causes strife by causing arguments among men, by making them think their opinions are right and everyone else’s is wrong,” Dr. Brown said. “It really is just perfect.”
