Aspergers and Astrology

Post Reply New Topic

Not everyone believes in this kind of thing but I was wondering if there are certain astrological signs or aspects in the chart which may increase the likelihood of ASD. My information is below. I tried to include an image of my chart but the link is not working.

Sun 8°53' Scorpio
Moon 15°38' Aquarius
Mercury 22°01' Scorpio
Venus 14°28' Sagittarius
Mars 19°10' Capricorn
Jupiter 8°52' Capricorn
Saturn 17°51' Scorpio
Uranus 11°46' Sagittarius
Neptune 29°23' Sagittarius
Pluto 2°21' Scorpio
Ascendant 3°29' Leo

Here are the chart aspects
Venus Conjunction Uranus Orb 2°42'
Mercury Conjunction Saturn Orb 4°09'
Sun Conjunction Pluto Orb 6°32'
Sun Conjunction Saturn Orb 8°58'
Jupiter Conjunction Neptune Orb 9°28'
Mars Conjunction Jupiter Orb 10°18
Pluto Square AS Orb 1°08'
Moon Square Saturn Orb 2°13'
Sun Square AS Orb 5°24'
Moon Square Mercury Orb 6°22'
Sun Square Moon Orb 6°44'
Uranus Trine AS Orb 8°16'
Sun Sextile Jupiter Orb 0°01'
Moon Sextile Venus Orb 1°10'
Mars Sextile Saturn Orb 1°18'
Mercury Sextile Mars Orb 2°50'
Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb 2°57'
Moon Sextile Uranus Orb 3°52'

I have heard things like Saturn conjunct sun, or Saturn conjunct Mercury could be indications, both aspects which are present in my chart.

I don't believe in astrology, however if you care I am a gemini.

Hi Lisa, I think there is a conecction between temperament and the planets and stars. Like you, I have Saturn with the Sun.
If you check wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melancholia
You will see how 3000 years back greeks and roman has associate the planet Saturn with melancholia, and I guess asperger is very close to the melancholia.
The book "Shyness and Love" by Dr, Brian G. Gilmartin, has a section about Astrology, and how the the love-shy men has a set of common paterns, like:

1. Love-shy men have a surfeit of planets located in the 4th, 5th,
and 6th houses. This is interesting because in astrology this
signals low self-sufficiency combined with high introversion/
inhibition.
2. The chronically love-shy are significantly more likely than self-
confident men to have their natal Saturn in the 5th or 7th
houses. This is interesting because in astrology Saturn is the
planet of restrictions. It is often referred to as the "negative
teacher". The 7th house is the house of marriage and partner-
ships; the 5th house is the house of sex and of children.
3. Chronically love-shy men have an overrepresentation of Mars
in Cancer and in Pisces. In astrology Mars is the planet of energy
and drive. Cancer and Pisces are regarded as the two worst
signs for Mars because they are associated with inertia and
with energy wastage.
4. Love-shy men tend to have significantly more fixed signs and
earth signs in their horoscopes than do self-confident, non-shy
men. In astrology such combinations would be associated with
inhibition and with stubborn and often intractable problems
such as love-shyness.
5. Love-shy men are quite likely to have a natal Saturn that is
square or conjunct to the natal sun or natal moon. Many love-
shys have Saturn in the same sign as either their sun, moon,
or ascendant.

Saddly, the books was discredited beacuse of the inlcusion of that chapter.

It's amaizing, but It's true, how It's works, I don't know, I guess we are a bit like marionettes

I'm a virgo...

Anyway slightly off-topic, but how about people seeing "synchronicities" aka "angel numbers", I seem to be haunted by certain numbers all the time... 11:11 being the most famous one.

that is very interesting, thank you for putting that here. my natal saturn is roughly 32 degrees away from my natal sun. i read that is not a favorable aspect in terms of love shyness. in addition, i have moon and mars loosely conjunct in cancer, 9th house.

There is absolutely no empirical evidence that astrology is anything other than a popular superstition.

be that as it may, a lot of people with lots of money and power and influence, employ it regularly and have done so for a long, long time.

I don't use astrology, but I think that there is a correlation between early child development stages and the weather at that age. Hitting peak curiosity just as a long winter sets in would not help.

Do you know of any studies on this? That would be super interesting.

Not yet. Anybody need a PhD thesis?

I would actually, my next step in life if I don't get into med school is to go the PhD route.

From a scientific point of view, the lack of proves doesn't mean something it's not true.
The science is positive, It only can say "that phenomenon" is cause by "those events", however,
with exception of mathematics, it can't tell you the phenomenon is false because it didn't got the causes.
So, It would nice if you go and check the planet Saturn in your natal chart.
I think many people from the forum will get surprised.
Also, don't forget the old Greek and Roman knowledge (the didn't have TV, and used to watch the sky very often).
I recommend a graphic chart like:

I'm not a big fan of astrology, but I can see there is "something" about the planets and your lives in planet earth.
That makes me mad, because I have more questions than answers

... AND from a scientific point of view, the lack of a reasonable explanation does not mean that unreasonable explanations are true. The woo-woo crowd latches on to only the first part, and completely disregards the second. There is more influence on you at birth from the gravitational fields of the people around you in the delivery room than from the Moon, the Sun, the planets, and the stars.

Besides, there are 88 constellations in the sky and 13 constellations along the ecliptic, not 12. Astrologers completely ignore these observable facts.

^^ Also, the Earth's orbit changes slowly, and the Zodiac has moved a month since Astrology got laid down. However, I don't consider it useless - it is like a placebo taken in order to get some good general advice as well.

Yes; out-dated ephemerii -- that's another point. The people who taught me to cast horoscopes used celestial data that was 2000 years old or more. They also seemed to believe that the ecliptic is in synchronous orbit around the Earth, or that the Sun, planets and stars all orbit the Earth.

A lot of people seem to need some kind of crutch...

Yes - the zodiac moves a month every 2160 years because of the "precession of the equinoxes". And moves in reverse order from the order of signs during the year.
That's what the theme song of "Hair" was about. We are at the tail end of the Age of Pisces and are about to start "The Age of Aquarius". Each "age" is 2160 years long.
