For WhiteRaven
This is the reply that I could not send yesterday. The technical reason was found by Solandia -- there was a double space after the colen following the word Pluto in comment 4. When we learn to type in school, a half century ago, you always put two spaces after a colen. That doesn't work well on the Internet. So here is your reply.
The aspects you noted are interesting. In themselves they don't signify ADHD
1) Opposition Mercury-Saturn: These two planets in aspect relate to deep
thinking and mental processes. The opposition suggests a focus on
seperating out facts from initial impressions, a slower process of
organizing data may not keep up with the rush of inputs.
Suggestion: A structured presentation of material, at a slower pace, may
help provide the time to work with the mental processes. Less distraction,
working apart form the distractions of others.
2) Trine Mercury-Uranus: These two planets suggest a type of shrewdness or
some mental skill at pattern recognition. He has mental strengths but may
not apply them to the right situations but instead not use the right
process to address the situation at hand.
Suggestion: The patient teaching of a procedure for solving a problem or
starting a project can provide a framework that guides him toward a better
work-habit. Having a method as a reliable tool can bring stability and success.
3) Trine Mercury-Neptune: This is a fantasy or imagination factor. Or an
inability to discriminate well.
Suggestion: Keep computer games and other distractions for certain times. A
structured lifestyle often helps kids. I know as we have a child with this
problem.
4) Sextile Mercury-Pluto: This can make for a rapid mental process or a
great deal of restlesness (in-attention) and haste.
Suggestion: This is hard to deal with. I guess you just have to keep
working on the procedure-for-this and the procedure-for-that approach.
Structure is what seems to work --- along with medicines like Adderol
(spelling?). Dave
