Repeating myself, it goes back to WHY people drink. That will determine what planets will be involved as transits will then trigger the problem.
I agree with you. Jupiter is the planet of happiness. Go figure.
My small test was to see if Jupiter would be adversely aspected in the chart of those recognised as alcoholics and/or any relevance of Neptune. It wasn't 'psychological' of nature. The link to a personal planet might provide more info. in that direction?
Jupiter is associated with good health and well-being. Where there's a predisposition towards a physical complaint, one might expect to find a harsh Jupiter, don't you think?
As a 'control' test, I took another physical complaint. First thought that came to mind was deafness. Checking 15 charts on 1st page of astrodatabank again, I wanted to see if Jupiter would be as relevant as a 'health' complaint as, astrologically, it appears to have little to do with the ears. Neptune, however, rules the labyrinth of the inner ear.
It proved to be more difficult as Jupiter made several aspects within a chart to the personal planets. My work pad got a bit messed up! It may be easier to say that there were 5 charts without harsh aspect to Jupiter. This would still be considered above average.
Neptune, however, was completely different. Only
1 chart showed no harsh aspect from the personal planets with Neptune; as did Saturn, also considered an aspect of deafness.
Mercury, ruler of the ears as per 'hearing' was strongly in evidence.
What does this little test prove? That people suffering from deafness have a tendency towards alcoholism that cannot be controlled????
