If no one else adds to this, I will place all in the future when I have the time. It’s interesting and dives deep into the mind of the great doctor.
Missing is his time of birth by the hour, minute. This results in the moon, rising sign and other aspects… being imperfect. People familiar with Dr. Bates work may want to go onto the astrology webpage and other sites to test different birth times; Start by each hour. Then if you want to do advanced work, go by the minutes… See if any traits for the eye profession, truth, research, discoveries, publishing, writing, kindness, humanity, memory… are present. Sort it down to 1-3 times, maybe even find the exact time of birth. Look for danger of being attacked by other surgeons, dishonest people, big business, powerful corrupt organizations.
