Dear Uttara,
//Therefore, I cannot from my perspective blame the Sun's placement
or
the Saturn in lst or even Rahu in sixth as the culprit. I have seen
these kinds of placements in other charts to know that not one of
them have bone problems.
HOWEVER, having Saturn conj Asc with Lagnesh Mercury in twelfth Leo
ruled by Sun - now there is a plausibility. And, a reality to my
own experience.//
Your (particular) health problems are not difficult to understand
with 6th lord Saturn in lagna occupying nakshatra of Sun whilst Sun,
dispositor of lagna lord, occupies nakshatra of Saturn etc..
Best Wishes,
Mrs. Wendy

astrology
To All,
If I may add my 2 cents from experience.
I am female.
I have Saturn in the first house Virgo.
I have Sun in the eleventh house Cancer.
I have Rahu in the sixth house Aquarius
I have Lagnesh Lord Mercury in the twelfth house Leo.
I grew up in a very Sun oriented household. In other words, not one
of my siblings or I were allowed to sleep in on days off from school
or stay put in front of the TV or any other indoor pursuit.
WE were all booted out of bed at a very precise time every morning
or were self-up and going and doing and being everyday. Outside
actions in the Sun were a must and way of life. Healthy too to burn
off a lot of excess children's energy in a healthy matter rather
than fighting like cats and dogs inside or driving my mother up a
wall. There were six of us in 7 1/2 yrs.
I spent walking the golf course in Junior Golf league and then adult
league from the time I was 10 through 32 years old. I loved the Sun
and the warm days and walking the green fairways in a wooded
surrounding. To me it was a peaceful retreat from the world and
self-invigorating to my physical body as well as spiritually,
whether I was on the course alone practicing or in competition. I
even loved the practicing putting green and then the pleasure of
showering in the clubhouse and relaxing on the veranda.
Therefore, I cannot from my perspective blame the Sun's placement or
the Saturn in lst or even Rahu in sixth as the culprit. I have seen
these kinds of placements in other charts to know that not one of
them have bone problems.
HOWEVER, having Saturn conj Asc with Lagnesh Mercury in twelfth Leo
ruled by Sun - now there is a plausibility. And, a reality to my
own experience.
Since I was a young child, I complained of bone and back pain. It
was thought at the time to be just growing pains. When I was eleven
yrs old, I was in ballet (which I just adored) and it was my ballet
teacher who eventually phoned my mother and asked her to take me to
the orthopedic doctor because I could not stand up straight in his
class. Nor could I keep my balance like other dancers.
It was found that I had what they presumed at the time in 1962 to be
an idiopathic scoliosis of the lumbar and thoracic spine. Even
though the S curve was at more than a 20 degree curve with a twisted
sideways construction along with a congenital fused 5th lumbar
intravertabrae - a spinal brace and surgery was not recommended to
stop the curvature or support the spine, because the orthopedic
doctor felt from the spine x-rays that I only had one more inch of
growth to achieve. It was determined though, that the congenital
intravertebrae fusion was the cause of me not walking until I was
almost 16 months old.
I loved dancing (all kinds) too, but had to give it up in Junior
year of H.S. because my bones could not take the stress of
practicing or performing any longer.
Through the years, I suffered greatly and having children only
complicated the curvature. In fact, for other reasons, there was a
almost nine year difference in my children's ages and in the
interval I was advised by a top spinal surgeon not to have any more
children. Well guess what. I got pregnant.
By the time my youngest child turned 5yrs old, I was 39yrs old. By
then it was determined that I had Adult scoliosis with congenital
arthritic changes probably due to an autoimmune disease. I had
major Spinal surgery for a continual curvature to my spine. The
idea was to stop the curve and support the spine. By now, the curve
in the thoracic spine was affecting my heart and lungs. I was
measuring more than 50 degrees at the lower lumbar region, 30 plus
degrees at the thoracic level and 17 degrees up into my skull. It
was a single posterior surgical procedure of 16 hours. I was fused
with instrumentation from my lower wingspan down to L4, which is the
lower part of the spine just before the L5 where most if not all of
the flexibility in ones movement stems from. During surgery, my
spine proved to be in worse shape than even the latest technology of
Spine CT's and MRI's could show.
To continue this saga a little longer to get my point across - I was
in a three-year recovery plan. The first 15 months I was incased in
a plastic fiberglass torso body cast. At 30 months, I had to have
surgery again because not only did the instrument (rods) fail and
break at the L3/4, but it was found in surgery that one of the main
pedicle screws where the rods broke was imbedded in the spine where
it could not be removed - along with finding I had fractured
bilaterally at the thoracic level, behind the rods, two vertebrae
because of thinning and porous bones.
This time, all the rods came out and then I was refused where the
fractures were, then re-rodded for support from my upper wingspan
down to L4. I not only wore a torso plastic fiber cast for 17
months but also for 8 months wore an additional electric stimulation
vest over my cast to stimulate bone healing.
21/2 yrs later, I was back in surgery for a lamenectomy and
disectomy at L5/S1, which is located in the lower lumbar area for
flexibility and entering into the sacral area. It was right
underneath my rods and previous fusions. Within 4 weeks, I was back
in the hospital on emergency with Bacterial Spinal meningitis from
the spinal surgery, which had punctured the inner spinal column
where spinal fluid was leaking and causing the meningitis.
Now, in the meantime, the rest of my body was bone wise
deteriorating. I had bone surgeries twice on my foot, tailbone and
additional teeth surgery ( Wisdom - imbedded and impacted) along
with a lot of arthritic changes in my knees, wrists, ankles and
neck. By the time 1997 came around through 1999 after spending more
hours than I care to try and add up in the dental chair since I was
20 years old, I had nine dental implants surgically placed with a
bite change to lessen the TMJ and arthritic degeneration in my jaw
joints, along with having every single one of my teeth root canalled
(those that had not been done before) along with reshaping and
capping every single tooth in my mouth. In 1999 CT scans showed
severe osteoarthritis throughout my whole body. Today, I have severe
osteoporosis in my upper thoracic area (Above the rods and fusion)
into my neck and upper arms due to continual bone thinning. I also
have pain in my shinbones and forearms due to thinning and porous
bones.
There is not much one can due when osteoporosis takes it hold or
osteoarthritis either. There are calcium and other minerals to help
keep the bones as healthy as possible, but there is nothing that
prevents the disintegration once it starts. Surgery helps support
fractures but there are a slew of downs sides to spinal bone surgery
with instrumentation. Nothing is perfect or last forever. Bone
surgeries of the spine are temporary fixes at best where multiple
revision surgeries are often needed with their many complications,
long recoveries and severe pain..
I have needed two Revision surgeries since 2000. I have turned the
complicated procedures down as of date. The reason. The rest of my
health would not support these two surgeries or its 3/4 year
recovery - that is if the surgeries did not fail (which is a high
risk) where Degenerative Disk Disease is prevalent and surgery is
required to fused down to the tail bone for stenosis and arthritic
changes.
I have included my birth data below for those who would want to
compare this chart for its chronic health problems and bone disease
that has been with me since I was born.
I would say that some things are fated. But, it is how we manage the
fatedness that can be altered to give some relief and comfort - no
matter how small or minor. However, chronic illnesses and bone
diseases with their chronic pain are one kind of suffering reflected
in the body where there are other kinds of suffering that I cannot
even imagine experiencing.
Ruler Sun of the Twelfth Leo with Lagnesh Mercury placed there,
along with Saturn conj Asc in Virgo sure is a negative culprit if
not the cause of decline on the body of a person. I would include
the skeleton structure of the body, being bones.
Of course, as usual, I stand corrected if I am incorrect and would
appreciate being enlightened otherwise. If nothing else, It makes
for good chart study - of course in its own due time and schedule
for group study!
As Always,
Uttara :-)
