Mel's Two Cents
Here's how I'd read it... (I could be off by a mile though..)
Mother's are to be found in the 10th house. The stroke and it's effects would be 6th from the 10th, the radical 3rd.
The Queen of Coins shows the mother is
overall moderately fine. This must, of course be in consideration of the mother's condition -
for a 90 year old woman who has recently had a stroke, she is moderately fine. The effects of the stroke are shown by the Wheel of Fortune, and our judgement will hinge on how we interpret
this card. I'd say it is showing the mother's health to be unstable at best, more likely, the stroke was probably a 'turn toward the worst'.
So far however, we have nothing but probabilities here and if there is no
connection between the two cards, it may be minor. (The cards being like loaded guns, the 'connections' being what pulls the triggers)
We have two. The mother has a square aspect to the Wheel via the Q. of Cups. and a trine via the Six of Coins, both showing a 'connection' between the mother and the stroke, indicating that there is a real impact on her life.
I'd judge this reading by saying overall, the Wheel is on a downward turn and the mother will grow worst, though now relatively stable. As for her memory, the cyclical quality of the Wheel may be showing that her memory will "come and go", neither fading out all together, nor returning to normal. I might advise the staff at the nursing home to continually remind the mother about the recorder, so when memories do 'click in' she can record them, for they may not come again.
Sad situation.
Alrighty then.. That's how I'd read it. Those of you waiting patiently to throw tomatoes at me... you may begin.
