Will my dad survive...

How do I start with this one... it's very difficult to explain. My dad has been recently rushed into hospital because he cannot look after himself properly. He's not eating properly and has probably only eaten a slice of bread's worth of food within the past week. He is extremely thin and he has now been an alcoholic for the past 3 years or so, he has a constant on-off relationship with his girlfriend, she has a mental disorder and my dad also suffers from bipolar depression himself. His girlfriend constantly abuses him, beats him up nearly every day. He says things like "I'm not getting back with her this time" But usually does because he suffers from being lonely and needs company as I can only see him once a week or so. His health has been deteriorating very rapidly these past few months and his physical body is nothing but skin and bone, a bout 2 and a half year ago he was attacked in the street by a thug and he has a damaged back because of it and inside the hospital he is constantly shaking whilst in bed and the nurses told us that will be the alcohol withdrawal symptoms. I'm just wanting to check with any of you if you will have the time to maybe check out to see what is going on in his chart and what planets are having an effect on him in his chart. The way he is is not looking good at all, unless he eats. He in fact use to be an astrologer himself many years ago but he doesn't really understand anything from one day to the next lately.

We are holding onto hope that he will start to eat gradually a lot better over time as then maybe he may get his strength back up. I've uploaded his natal chart with his current transits.

Thanks for your time.

Sorry to hear your of your fathers plight Bradderz, I hope that you expressed your concerns to his treating doctor/nurses, they should be able to point out the probable treatment for his condition. His chart ruler merc in the 7th is currently conjunct his prog. moon, with both being transited by Chiron (all of them in the sign of Pisces) . A strong Saturn is what's really needed in his chart, but both the natal (in pisces)and progressed saturn (now in Aries) obviously arn't keeping him down to earth.
Neptune is very active right now, the conjunction of Nep. to his natal I/C points to a mutable watery individual, with Trans Nep. moving back and forth across his descendant adding to the influence I wouldn't expect him to be at his best.
I think that it would be difficult to get him to give up self medicating (drinking), so why not ask his doctor about medical marujuana as a replacement? Surely if he swaps to a drug that won't damage his health, and will give him the "munchies" he should start eating again, just be sure to wave a cheesecake or his fave food under his nose at the appropriate time if he does get the prescription approved.
Because his Saturn isn't working right now, you can step in and use your Saturn to take the appropriate steps to get him some help, you might want to consider having him move in with you for a few months to get him back onto his feet if circumstances permit. Good luck with it all anyway!

Transit saturn is conjunct the 4th house-condition of parents-which could possibly mean parents' illness, one parent health is declining.
