The First Attack—1st Chart
The first serious attack we know of occurred on October 11, 1987, when she was 45 years old. During that attack she almost died and was hospitalized for ten days.

Set (a) represents a new Angle/neptune with additional influence to both 3rd houses.

Set (b) shows a new Angle/mars.

Set (c) shows that her charts have picked up a new Angle/saturn influence through mercury, ruler of B MC (when mercury rules an Angle, it also acts like a light. I would not, for instance, consider progressed saturn to venus (ruler of C MC) an active set unless it also included a light. Pc1 neptune, ruler of c 3rd house, was at 4 Taurus 40, early in the set.

Set (d) shows an additional influence of saturn to an Angle through its ruler, b mercury. Note that Set (c) uses b saturn, while Set (d) uses c saturn.

At 0 Taurus 54, pc1 NN has just begun to enter a set with the two saturns, b saturn at 0 Taurus 06 and b1 saturn at 0 Taurus 19. It will be much closer for her second attack.

Summed, JR’s 1st chart has gained influence to Angles of mars, saturn (a lot of it), and neptune. Let’s see how that 6th house set [i.e., Set (3) from the main paper which shows her progressions for diagnosis] looks now. I won’t label it a Set because some of the planets have gone out of orb. I put them in to show just that:

In the set above, pb1 saturn has gone out of orb. But neptune is still within orb. This set shows JR with a lighted, close mars/neptune in b 6th house, with the whole set influencing two Angles and a 3rd house (i.e., the whole set does not influence a 6th house, only mars and neptune, because the set does not include a ruler of the 6th).

But her (new, progressed) saturn/6th influence has not disappeared, it is just part of a different set. Here it is: pb1 saturn at 15 Taurus 13 (in b 6th house) in the same set with b1 mercury at 15 Leo 23. Since mercury serves both as a light and a ruler when it rules an Angle, this set gives us not only an additional lighted saturn influence to an Angle, but a lighted saturn/6th influence.

Her return, which occurred on October 10, 1987 at Vero Beach, Florida, was not spectacular. Angles were not afflicted. Return saturn was at 22 Scorpio 00 and return1 NN at 23 Scorpio 20 in the same set with b moon (ruler of b 8th house) at 22 Aquarius 30. Transiting1 mars (7 p.m. EDT) was at 22 Taurus 24. C sun, ruler of c 8th house, is at 21 Taurus 07.

The 7th chart and the 1st chart showed death for the one individual in this study who died during an attack. That is not surprising in the sense that the 7th chart is our major chart and it often works with another chart to show conditions and events, especially events. Here, and at the end of the 1st chart astrology for each attack, I append some of JR’s 7th chart astrology.

For those not used to working with harmonic charts and their progression, I want to point out that all progressions that are not harmonic are the same for all 12 charts (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). Harmonics of those progressions, however, differ from one harmonic to the next. So, above, all the progressions for her 1st chart that were non-harmonic also occurred in her 7th chart. Below are pertinent harmonic progressions for the 7th chart

7th chart progressions were minor, but had some significance:

• Pc7 neptune, starting out at 8 Taurus 53, had reached 12 Taurus 15, in late conjunction to her b mars at 11 Taurus 22 but in much closer aspect to her b1 mars (ruler of B Asc) at 12 Leo 19.
• Return mars at 5 Virgo 54 was in the same set with c7 venus (ruler of C MC) at 4 Pisces 30, c7 moon at 5 Pisces 00, c SN at 4 Pisces 46, and b neptune at 4 Virgo 40.
• Return Asc at 8 Libra 57 was opposite c7 saturn at 8 Aries 59.
• T7 saturn was at 19 Taurus 44, in the same set with b SN at 19 Aquarius 30 and c mars at 19 Aquarius 58.

Now we will return to her 1st chart astrology.

The Second Attack—1st Chart
Her second severe attack occurred on December 26, 1988 while she was still living in Vero Beach, Florida. Critical and hospitalized for two weeks.

Set (a) shows a new Angle/neptune.

Without the lights return moon and transiting sun, I would not consider pC MC still in the same set with pb mars. It was much closer during her 1st attack. However, the addition on so-to-speak at-the-moment lights along with transiting saturn convert this set into a 2light/mars/saturn set with influence to at least one Angle (B Asc) if not two (add in C MC).

Progressed b1 saturn (at 15 Taurus 13 during her first attack) has moved to 15 Taurus 40, still considered in a set with b1 mercury (ruler of B MC) at 15 Leo 23 and pb1 uranus at 15 Taurus 59.

Progressed b saturn has moved from 5 Taurus 04 during her 1st attack to 5 Taurus 13 for her second one. It is still in a set with b mercury (ruler of B MC) at 5 Aquarius 08, pb uranus at 5 Taurus 20, and pc1 venus (ruler of C MC) at 5 Aquarius 39.

Progressed b moon (ruler of b 8th house) was at 3 Scorpio 15 conjunct b sun at 3 Scorpio 21 and opposing b and c uranuses in 3 Taurus ++.. Progressed b1 moon was also in Scorpio at 9 Scorpio in the same set with b1 and c1 uranus at 9 Taurus 24 and 10 Taurus 13, respectively. These, two added lights in Scorpio all connected to uranus imply a sudden (uranus) shift in consciousness to thoughts of dying.

With Set (c) she has acquired a powerful lighted node/mars influence to an Angle, 3rd and 8th houses.

Her pb mercury in her first attack, which was at 27 Aries 45 conjunct c1 saturn [Set (d) above], has gone on to form a different set with saturn:

Light(the mercury)/node/mercury/saturn is a very powerful saturnian influence to B Asc.

Return (Vero Beach) MC was at 12 Sagittarius 39 and return1 neptune at 11 Pisces 22.

Return Asc was at 16 Pisces 29 conjunct pc mars at 17 Pisces 33 and in the same set with pc mercury (ruler of c 6th house) at 16 Gemini 39. Transiting neptune had reached 15 Pisces 27.

Transiting1 saturn was at 1 Pisces 15 conjunct her b sun at 1 Pisces 07 which was opposition pc neptune at 1 Virgo 35.

Transiting1 pluto was at 29 Virgo 33 conjunct her b1 SN at 28 Virgo 31 and her c1 mars (co-ruler of c 3rd house) at 29 Virgo 53. p

Transiting NN was at 12 Aquarius 02 in the same set with her b mars (ruler of B Asc) at 11 Taurus 22 (and in b 6th house).

The last set incorporates her Set (1) from the main paper:

Set (e) shows return uranus setting off her original node/mars/neptune which had influence to two Angles and a 3rd house.

I do not usually include all the pertinent progression, return, and transit planets as I have above. The point of including them is to show how skewed her planets are toward an excess of mars/saturn/neptune to Angles, with a lot of added influence to 3rd, 6th, and 8th houses.

In her 7th chart she had the following harmonic interactions, all involving return or transit planets:

• Return MC at 12 Sagittarius 29 was in the same set with b7 neptune at 12 Gemini 03, c7 NN at 12 Gemini 55, and c7 mercury (ruler of c 6th house) at 13 Gemini 42.
• Return7 mars was at 11 Capricorn 32 in the same set with pB Asc at 11 Capricorn 05.
• T saturn was at 10 Sagittarius 25, t sun at 10 Sagittarius 52, and pC MC at 10 Sagittarius 01. Progressed b mars at 9 Gemini 37 had actually been passed by progressing C MC, but these transits tended toward bringing it back into play.

Returning to her 1st chart progressions for her next attack…

The Third Attack—1st Chart
Her third severe attack occurred on February 6, 1994 while she was living in Rockport, Texas. She was considered critical and hospitalized until February 21.

Uranus, though often involved, is not one of the significators for asthma. This set does show a forefront 3rd house emphasis, however.

Saturn has really progressed beyond mercury, but the return node temporarily pulls it back into orb. Set (b) shows a very strong (node) new Angle/neptune influence, but it also includes an Angular saturn influence.

There is no progressed Angle/mars influence. It shows up, however, in the return, which I will show a bit later. It is the return which pulls JR’s starting asthma significators forefront. Continuing with progressions:

Set (c) shows a new node/saturn influence. Regardless of houses ruled, new node/saturn and especially new node/mars/saturn have a deleterious effect on the matters covered by the chart.

These progressed and return lights re-emphasize JR’s original set with node/mars/neptune influencing two Angles.

Her node/mars with 3rd house influence has acquired a saturn.

I can state from experience that when a return Angle and/or moon falls into a difficult “natal” set, that set is brought forefront at some point during the days covered by the return. Once again, a progression had begun to be out-of-orb but was brought back into expression through the return. Here is was progressed b1 neptune which had moved 1° 5’ away from mars. C1 moon had already extended its orb of influence. What it is exactly, I do not know. Should neptune’s influence on mars (minus c1 moon) have started lessening at ½° apart? ¾° apart? One degree? Whatever it is, this set’s falling on the return moon and Midheaven brought neptune’s conjunction with mars fully back into expression.

Set (f) shows a doubly lighted mars/neptune influence to three Angles and a 3rd house. It also influences b 6th house because mars and neptune are in b 6th (and lighted).

I failed to include one set I am uncertain about reading. Here it is:

C mercury is in c 6th house and co-rules (26 of 40°) c 8th house. This set all by itself may be saying something about asthma. Mercury in Gemini already has a 3rd house implication (both mercury and Gemini) and it influences 6th and 8th houses. The progression of an Angle to it would bring the issue forefront, but not into expression unless there were mars/neptune?(saturn) affliction which influenced Angles and showed a path of 3rd/6th/8th.

In her 7th chart she had the following pertinent sets:

• Pb7 mars was at 24 Taurus 41 in the same set with B Asc at 25 Scorpio 01.
• Return Asc at 27 Taurus 08 was in the same set with pc7 saturn at 26 Taurus 45 and t7 mars at 27 Leo 25.
• Pb mars (ruler of B Asc) at 12 Gemini 45 was in the same set with b7 neptune at 12 Gemini 03 and c7 NN at 12 Gemini 55.
• Return MC had numerous planets in the same set:

Returning now to her 1st chart astrology for her fourth attack…

The Fourth Attack—1st Chart
Her fourth severe attack occurred on January 30, 1995 while she was still living in Rockport, Texas. She was considered critical and hospitalized until February 10.

Set (a) shows a new Angle/neptune.

Set (b) shows a new, lighted mars influence to two Angles. B mercury has come all the way from 5 Aquarius 08 at birth.

Now her Node/mars/neptune, which started out having influence to two Angles, has influence to three Angles and both 3rd houses.

Although not causative, here we see another sun/saturn, with pb sun a 22 Aries 59 conjunct c1 saturn at 23 Aries 00.

She still has the node/saturn/uranus shown above in the previous attack as Set (c)

Node/saturn is transiting her pC MC and her return MC on the date of her attack.

Set (e) shows harmonic saturn transiting her B MC.

In Set (f) return Asc provides Angular expression for her pc mars, in Pisces, therefore with a connotation of mars/neptune>,/p>

Transiting neptune, at 27 Sagittarius 45, has returned to its near conjunction to C Asc at 28 Sagittarius 30 and b1 SN at 28 Virgo 31.

In her 7th chart she has very little that differentiates it from the progressions for her 1st chart:

• Return7 saturn at 26 Taurus 49 was in the Same set with B Asc at 25 Scorpio 01.
• (Combined with her all-chart set including return Asc at 21 Pisces 41 conjunct pc mars at 20 Pisces 20, she had return Angle/mars and Angle/saturn.
• Pb7 mercury, ruler of B MC, was at 11 Leo 12 in the same set with b mars (ruler of B Asc) at 11 Taurus 22.
• Pb mars (ruler of B Asc) at 13 Gemini 21 was conjunct c7 mercury (ruler of c 6th house) at 13 Gemini 42.
• Pc mercury, ruler of c 6th house, is in the same set with pb7 saturn at 23 Gemini 57.

In conclusion, JR had excesses of mars, saturn, and neptune influencing Angles, 3rd, and 6th houses in her 1st chart for all four attacks. Her 8th house was less involved than that of JF, though from the description it would appear her attacks were also severe.

Instead of her 8th houses being part of the 3rd/6th house path traveled by her mars/saturn/neptune sets, JR’s 8th implications appear to have been in her Angle/pluto sets, with the original tone for that being set by her B Asc in Scorpio conjunct c1 pluto in Scorpio. Both pluto and Scorpio provide an 8th house emphasis.

Using progressions, return, and transits, JF’s 7th chart progressions for her attacks focused primarily around added Angle/neptune. JR’s involved mars and saturn and sometimes neptune. JR’s were more severe, showing some cause for alarm. They were not, however, strong nor involved enough to be predictive of her attacks.
