Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University showed that visual aids that create the illusion of movement, like a screen placed in front of one's hand showing the hand move, can improve motor performance and the early stages of motor learning. Compared to observing third-person motions, functional near-infrared spectroscopy data also showed greater changes in brain activity in regions associated with motor learning. Findings like this might inform new treatment strategies for hemiplegic stroke patients. The study is published (on Nov.16) in the journal Scientific Reports.

The phases of the Moon are among the most reliable indicators of events on earth. To understand how their energies are focused at any place of interest astrologers routinely draw charts of monthly lunations. Presented here is the chart for the New Moon of Nov.13 at Tokyo just three days before the publication of the report. The New Moon is placed in the 6th house linked to illness and healing.
As always aspects to the angles are the most important. Here a Saturn-Mercury-Admetus T-square aligns with the meridian. In astrology both brain activity as well as the movement of limbs come under the rulership of Mercury. The TNP Admetus (as well as Saturn) rules hindrance and obstruction.
A motor skill is a function that involves specific movements of the body's muscles to perform a certain task. These tasks could include walking, running, or riding a bike. In order to perform this skill, the body's nervous system, muscles, and brain have to all work together. A Mercury-Saturn-Admetus T-square indicates problems with this kind of co-ordination.
But that is not all. If we use asteroids we can see how the chart is referring to these problems even more clearly. Here Saturn on the MC is conjunct the asteroids Aesculapia (illness) and Terpsichore (exercise that increases flexibility; coordination) while Mercury is conjunct Psyche (mental health) [1].
Martha Wescott provides the following delineation for:
Psyche/Terpsichore
It's possible that, at some point, you'll hear of neurological problems that manifest in a challenged coordination or in difficulties with mobility, but I think that, more often, terribly poignant and moving gestures (perhaps a nod, a wave, a hand motion) will reflect the interaction between the asteroids, Psyche and Terpsichore.
Saturn is often referred to as the lord of “karma,” the consequences of our past actions. Saturn can summon painful feelings and remorse from long ago, affording opportunities to review, revise, and craft practical, prudent approaches to old patterns and predicaments. In Pisces, practical and result oriented Saturn can utilize all that Pisces rules to achieve its ends. Let us remember that photography, illusions, film/images all belong to the Piscean domain.
