4. to my chronically ill + disabled babes: i’m not gonna be able to cover everything in this thread, please don’t hesitate to add on your personal thoughts + experiences !!
5. there will be a video version to this thread for those who have a difficult time reading large chunks of text at once !!

now without further ado 🧿 let’s start off with locating disabilities in the chart + what disability is characterized by !!
CHRONIC ILLNESS:

when it comes to anything chronic, saturn (β™„) is the primary contender !! saturn governs chronic illness, restrictions to the physical condition, and disabilities in general !!

in the chart, saturn is the nexus for hindrances to bodily function + vitality
saturn is related to any problems with weight, poor circulation, any form of deficiency, fatigue, and physiological impediments

henceforth it’s position in the chart is often very informative of the β€œbig issues” you may deal with in regards to your specific chronic condition(s)
𝑬𝑿.

i have a 10H gemini saturn β€” i use my cane to help with walking due to my fibro pain + my weight fluctuates a lot !!

the mobility (β™ŠοΈŽ) in my legs (10H) is limited (β™„) because of a neurological issue (β™ŠοΈŽ) that causes widespread pain (dispositor in β™“οΈŽ)
MOBILITY + SENSATION:

mercury, the 3H, and wherever gemini is located in the chart are the main focuses here !!

mercury (☿) deals with the general nervous system, neurological disorders, gross + fine motor function, and what we do with our hands
𝑬𝑿.

my 7H mercury is in pisces β€” in regards to my walking + coordination (☿), my balance (7H) is unstable (β™“οΈŽ)

on top of that, my 3H starts in libra !! signifying that balance (β™ŽοΈŽ) is an important focus for me mobility-wise
your relationship with sensory stimulus can also be shown by mercury !!

if you struggle with sensory processing issues or overstimulation, look at the relationship your mercury makes with neptune (♆) and the 12H β€” including objects in the 12H too !!
𝑬𝑿.

my 7H pisces mercury inconjuncts my 12H leo moon β€” i most often become overstimulated (β™“οΈŽ) in social situations (7H) that are too noisy (☿) !!

aspecting my 12H leo moon, this adds onto the fact that iβ€˜m very sensitive (12H) to loud noises (β™ŒοΈŽ) in public spaces (☽)
PAIN:

now pain is a more layered experience, because there are several different types of it !! we have a few places in the chart to look at:

- mars
- saturn
- the 12H
mars governs sharp, disruptive pains β€” especially any pains that result in redness or swelling !!

mars is going to be the center for anything inflammatory or autoimmune in the chart. from headaches to rheumatological diseases, that’s mars !!
while mars represents pain that has a β€œcome and go” nature, saturn presides over dull, heavy + chronic pains

any pains that are particularly resistant to treatment or just plain difficult to manage are within saturn’s realm of influence !! saturn rules persistence for a reason
that being said, i imagine that mars - saturn aspects would be especially indicative of having a long-term autoinflammatory disease β€” especially those related to the head + bones !!
now with the 12H, it doesn’t just represent physical pains that are uncontrollable, hidden + widespread β€” the 12H has much to do with the collective emotional pain we have to deal with as disabled people
when you’re disabled and/or chronically ill, it literally feels like youβ€˜ve been taken hostage (β™„) by your own body

the 12H governs imprisonment, being physically restrained; feelings of sorrow + isolation. this is often why the disabled experience feels so isolated
WELLBEING:

aside from disability specifically, the 6H is always a great place to start whenever you’re interested in evaluating your corporeal health + preferred treatment options !!

the 6H governs hygienic routines, general health, illnesses, disease, and medical care !!
𝑬𝑿.

i have a 6H neptune at 10Β° aquarius β€” literally nothing works for my joint pain (10Β°) except for warm baths and tea (♆)

a 6H neptune is a great marker of efficacy in holistic + water-related treatments. if you have this placement, you should try to stay very hydrated !!
KEYWORDS:

- mercury: sensation, speech, coordination, motor function, nervous system
- mars: sharp, inflammation, autoimmune, fevers, headaches
- saturn: chronic, disability, weight, treatment-resistant
- neptune: despair, overstimulation, sensitivity, isolation
