Thanks. Would you consider Sun conjunct Neptune an affliction?

My sixth house ruler is Neptune and I have no immune disorders of any kind and my immune system has always been stronger than average lol. Neptune is afflicted but I have lucky nn in Pisces sixth house, too.
I guess someone can experience trouble with Neptune and sixth though.

Neptune only makes positive aspects
Neptune rules DSC
Neptune is central body in stellium 4th house (Sagittarius)

-----

Hyperthyroidism - thyroid gland - ruled by Taurus, 2nd house, Venus

Venus - unafflicted, 4th house (Sag)
2nd House - Libra
Taurus 9th house, Moon residing, Chiron residing - (CNJ of appx 4 deg)
Moon is bQ Neptune (0 deg)

Myasthenia Gravis - thymus gland - ruled by Gemini, 3rd house, Mercury

Mercury - minor affliction, SemiSQ with Saturn in the 3rd (Scorpio), wide-wide affliction (6 deg) SQ ASC-DSS axis - Mercury in 4th house (Capricorn), Mercury ruling ASC-MC & NN
Gemini MC/NN - Chiron wide CNJ (5 deg) MC
3rd House = (Scorpio) Pluto-Mars 1st decan, 1st duad CNJ unafflicted (trine Mercury-Neptune).

ruler of 1st/Virgo-10th/Gemini only widely (or lightly?) afflicted, ruler of 3rd/Scorpio unafflicted.
ruler of 2nd/Libra-9th/Taurus unafflicted,
ruler of 3rd(8th*Mars)/Scorpio unafficted.

medical (or vedic) astrology normally looks for afflictions to the ruler of, or to the house that corresponds with, that part of the body. I think (maybe?) in horary or progressed reading you might discover more about an illness as it presents (if or when it may present)... but, it would seem natally Neptune isn't so potent at discovering it (at least not on its own). If I have time, I'll check tomorrow to see if my natal or progressed Neptune was showing anything unusual when my MG emerged. Something that would indicate revelation...? something that may indicate physical harm/weakness...? (iunno) I'll see if there's anything /unusual/ there... x.x

Because I do have a love for using asterisms and star interpretation for transit forecasts and sometimes with natal prediction, I'll go over those as well. For instance my Neptune is not conventionally afflicted. But, if you would consider it, my stellium is lined up on several stars that are usually concerned with head and eye injuries. My MG presented first as unilateral drooping of the left eye. (However it progressed into bilateral, and then began to affect various muscle groups in the face, throat, torso... (my poor typing fingers!) lol

Perhaps that's why the afflictions are more numerous where these stars are, and with Mercury more than Venus. Not that a thyroid illness is anything to scoff at, but it really isn't nearly so serious as the MG, and if I could free myself of just one, I'd live with the thyroid condition and get rid of the MG without any hesitation. It's a lot harder to live without a smile, than it is to live on a severely restrictive diet due to weight see-sawing.

But, again - I will check your hypothesis about Neptune with my transits during the time it manifested/was diagnosed. And, even though it is /not/ considered autoimmune, I'll check my grandmother's chart as well, (she has fibromyalgia) - because I'm curious.

My maternal grandmother had hypothyroidism; she was treated when young and has since taken medication (hormones). Something I don't do for mine, I did take a different medication though, not radioactive iodine, and no equally unattractive pig hormones. My TSH levels are -normal for me- now, what I'd taken was an extremely strong immunosuppressant. Something I would have to take for the MG anyway. I do not take steroids or any immunosuppressants for the MG now. I watch my diet, and regulate my activity, and try very hard to avoid things that trigger it to worsen (stress... stress is deadly bad for me). T_T

My father had epilepsy in connection with a car accident (head injury) when he was about 13/14.

The only peculiarity with my mother is her Rh factor~ but, that still seems irrelevant. (Although I did find a paper where the connection of MG and MS were studied against one another by medical researchers.)

There's still very little known about MG...

So, anyway, besides my two grandmothers, nobody else has any peculiar diseases in my family - which makes me that much more frustrated with my having two.

bugger...
