With his Saturn conjunct Pluto in 9th opposing Chiron in 3rd and transiting Mars in 8th conjuncting Saturn and
Mercury conjuncting Chiron in Gemini in 7th - right now this person appears
to be going through some confusion as to where he is going, and there is
so much confusion in dialogue with him - like he is on a roller coaster changing with the winds and plunging head on into almost self destruct kinds
of behavior and surfacing now and then to reality. Hope this is not something
you are going through. This Gemini turned sixty yesterday. Do you see any
lull after this storm?

Hi again,
For the data you provided, Astro.com gave an Ascendant in Scorpio, M.C. in Virgo.
The subject has a Moon- Chiron-Jupiter T-square with an 8th house Saturn in Cancer at the apex. This would suggest a tendancy towards emotional (manic) depression anyway if the moon in Aries needs are not met. With Venus also in the 8th house and ruler of the 6th house, his personal value/worth is pertinent to his physical condition.
His self destruct, roller-coaster mode could be a result of sec. progressed Moon transiting the 8th house in Gemini. It's been opposing transiting Pluto for many months. He feels deeply hurt and his mind cannot deal with changes until he consciously understands the reasons for them. Transiting Pluto is going to inconjunct his natal Mercury in Taurus. This can add an extra strain upon him unless he releases his stubborness of thought and/or recognises the facts of his situation for what they are. Sometimes a person is powerless against the greater forces beyond one's personal control.
His progr. Sun has settled into the 9th house (Placidus) in Leo. It makes no harsh aspects for many years but it has been under the influence of transiting Saturn. Simply said, consideration of his long-term health would not be amiss. I personally think this is strengthened by the fact that the progressed 6th-12th house axis is applying conjunct his nodal axis. A Gemini Sun friend has the same house cusps as your subject, with the nodal axis in the same signs/house. His greatest dilemma was understanding that his talent was not meant to improve his personal and financial value/worth but his knowledge be passed on to others so that he would be valued as a person by them. It even meant coming down a step or two and relating to people on an everyday level. As mentioned before, the 6th house is also the house of self-service. It's merely a question of your subject helping himself.
Transiting Neptune is forming a long-term grand trine from the third house to his natal Jupiter-Uranus trine, after opposing his natal Mars. His interest in alternative healing/massage is a good way to work with the Gemini-ruled hands. With progressed Mercury in the 9th house in Leo approaching the natal Mars-Uranus sextile, taking up a study would be an excellent way to use this energy to his advantage, as a balance for the square from progressed MC-I.C. in the 12th-6th house. Feeling and being useless may make him his own worst enemy.
Hopefully he will begin to show an improvement once transiting Jupiter moves out of the square to Mars-Pluto ( a bit paranoid?) and crosses the Ascendant. Professional help might be worth considering.
I've kept this reply to the health issues and wish him well for the future..
