Do you mean a person born with such an affliction?
In as far as astrology makes claims it makes them all the way. I mean, in as far as we take its claims seriously, we look at the whole of the persons existence. So a ‘retard’ by nativity would have severe afflictions to Mercury, Moon, likely, Saturn too probably. Or just very heavily on Sun.
Obviously the chart does not freeze when one is born, there are many ways in which to predict events and changes, one of which in particular frighteningly accurate, called the progressed moon chart. Any crises in the life will be neatly accompanied by very clear aspects. So if someone suddenly ‘contracts’ a great physiological problem, that will most definitely be reflected in the chart.
When it is given at birth, it will also be reflected in the mothers chart.
It is even more uncanny than anything how charts of family members intertwine. For example, my sun is on my fathers sun (2 degrees apart), my moon is on my sisters sun (4 degrees apart), my ascendant is on my sisters partners Sun (same exact degree) and by Saturn is on my mothers Saturn, my fortune on her Venus, in fact there is hardly any angle in my mothers chart that isn’t also in mine.
My ex girlfriends Sun was on the same degree as my Venus. To name one of many aspects we shared.
Pezers chart and mine also greatly overlap, my north node on the same degree as his ascendant, his Jupiter on my Saturn, same degree, his Saturn on my Mars, one degree off, and a whole shitload more.
Odds for these things are very close to zero.
I think I could make billions with a dating site based on this, but the investment would be quite steep as I can not code.
Obviously, if astrology weren’t strictly accurate, it would be bullshit. If astrology were only partly and sometimes right, it would never have caught my attention.
I would, as a son of a physicist raised in contempt of all concepts unverifiable, never have gotten so deep in astrology if its predictions weren’t so uncannily accurate. When the progressed moon crosses a key point in the chart, some fundamental event connected to that point will transpire. There is no way out of it.
I can make life predictions for someone who gives me his full data. Not that I wish to but I am willing to do it to prove a point. As mentioned I will do it slowly, Im in a breakfast place where I uploaded the following video and checked my messages and ILP.
My fellow philosophers,
