Anyway - would any of this show up on a chart somewhere? I'm simply curious.

I have struggled so much to work with the school district, and at last some progress is being made. Now that my son's condition is known, I am much better equiped to help. My son is now on an educational plan, and his grades have skyrocketed upwards. He was not a slow learner at all, is actually quite brilliant in Math & Science.

Neptune sometimes makes our minds hazy even with + aspects. In fact, I have a Merc trine Neptune transit right now, and I feel that words have been on the tip of my tongue without me finding them, and I've been forgetting papers and things everywhere, at home and in my school building, which rarely happens to me [despite the fact that I have ADD - it's almost worse than ever right now thanks to this transit].

I hope I could offer some insights. It seems he's more of a forgetful type versus a racing thought type [like me and other Merc-Mars].

Not sure if the Mercury in 12th sextile Neptune really accounts for or contributes to ADD.

I can relate to this, mostly the first three parts:
He'll definitely be imaginative, pleasant to talk to, dreamy, but he'll probably be prone to forgetting to do things and making small mistakes.

I also have Mercury in the 12th, sextile Neptune, and I've never been diagnosed with ADD, nor needed to seek help for anything described.

I will try to post his chart later..Hope you don't mind my sharing on your thread. It feels really good to meet other parents with special children who are misunderstood and labeled unjustly /:

Of course I don't mind! I love that you've chimed in and posting your son's chart might be helpful.

My son has an education plan again - after being signed out of the program for a couple of years (IEP). He's much more relaxed the past week since the new schedule has taken effect. The psychologist last week also said he has some "autistic-like" traits but they've been saying that for years and years.

Forgetful is right!! He'll do huge assignments for homework and then forget to turn it in. If he does remember something it'll be at the very last minute. Like we're pulling up to the school and he says "Oh yeah, mom, I need to bring 4 liters of soda to the party in 3rd period today." Or he'll remember to half of an assignment but forget the other half so he doesn't get any credit.

He daydreams in class.. will stare at his thumbs, stare at a blank piece of paper in front of him... not start a test until 5 minutes before the class is over, etc.

But otherwise he is a great kid. Gentle. Sweet. Respectful. Polite. Fun to talk to when he's interested in something.

It wasnt that i had add. The teachers were freakin boring. They need to make it funner.

Forgetting to turn in his homewirk. Big deal. Some people are forgetful.

Dont put him on medication.

In south america kids drink coffee with milk in the morning.

Helps them pay attention and stay alert.

Try it!

They tried to say the same thing about my 13 year old cousin. His mom refused to medicate him.

Your son also has a harsh aspect from Mars to his Sun/Merc conjunction, a sesisquare. Which him and I sort of share I'm a Pisces Sun/Merc retro with a square to Mars.

Interesting to see the similar types of aspects in the chart bringing out similar personality traits.

I always tested above my peers, but couldn't focus on day-to-day menial tasks. I had a teacher accuse me of cheating once because I skipped class for a week and a half, came back on a test day and aced the test.

I noticed something that helped me get things done was not "having" to focus on 1 thing for "too" long. Change it up a bit. Or find something he's interested in, really inerested in (for me it was ice-skating at that age) and it helps focus some of the misdirected energy. Brain teasers and word games could help teach focus, as well.

And, not to be a Debbie Downer, but if the focus is lost where it NEEDS to be (ie: school), so would the priviledge to do the extra-curricular activity that he may choose. It worked like a charm for me as long as I was actually interested in what was being threatened to be removed.

The other option would be to put in him an accellerated program for school. I don't know if it's available where you are, but the class sizes are usually smaller and the work is given at a more rapid pace, to keep things interesting.

Good luck in your endeavors MoonWitch!

So, my guess is, something else could point it out.[/B]

Neptune contacts can definitely make someone gentle and on the sweet side.

Transit wise Chiron/Mars sq n.Pluto in Sadge, a sign assc with learning, the Pluto Sadge generation it's tough cos they want to be right, so he could have insecurity about this with peers maybe. Esp since Saturn is conj Mars Asc ruler in 7th and coming back to opp his Moon (ruling the 4th). The Saturn opp says maybe someone at home (mom) is gonna bring this more and more to his attn and he could get some help with this at home, or someone from home will help him find outside resources for this.

I think harsh Mars and perhaps Moon could be at play, as well as Mercury, ESPECIALLY retro.

I have Merc rx and I internalised my thoughts and I find it very hard to communicate and concentrate, especially if it's verbal communication.

posted February 19, 2013 12:20 AM            

I do think its hard for me to concentrate because I'm thinking of 100 other things. I think saturn helps me bring out my inner discipline. I don't really believe in ADD or maybe I was just misdiagnosed.

If it makes you feel better op I really got my **** together and took school seriously and got a 3.8 gpa. Your son will do the same, kids just want to have fun and no concept of responsibilities.

posted February 19, 2013 05:45 AM            

I would think the reason is all those harsh Uranus, Saturn and Neptune aspects, as they all lead people to detach from the world around them and try to escape reality (especially in combination). I would know, as I have sun, moon, mars, Venus and mercury all afflicted by Neptune and Saturn. No Uranus afflictions though. Yes I am usually in my own little world and am def a loner as well as easily miss whatever's going on around me, but I think bc I don't have the Uranus afflictions I am not forgetful, impatient, or hard to pin down. Quite the opposite.
