Hooke Robert

 HOOKE Robert

Robert Hooke FRS (28 July [O.S. 18 July] 1635 – 3 March 1703) was an English natural philosopher, architect and polymath. "He was born at noon on July 18, 1635, in the village of Freshwater at the western end of the Isle of Wight."

Alfred J. Pearce mentions Hooke in 'Science of stars' (p. 87, xv. On the mind and disposition, 1881) ;  he recalls that 

'he lived xisty-eight years without attaching to himself a single human being, and died only to make room for his rival.' (id.)

Primary directions

we find two directions that we notice in people with 'consumption' (by which the cancer and heart disease are usually signalled in the 19th century)

1)-  (m) SU square MA (direct)

 

2)- (m) MO square SA (direct)

Stars

Note the conjunction between Procyon and Mars (in REGIO domitude, respectively : 254.64 and  254.62) : denotes by tradition occult interests, restless, never remains long in one place, quarrels with friends, partners and employers.
Much has been written about the unpleasant side of Hooke's personality, starting with comments by his first biographer, Richard Waller, that Hooke was "in person, but despicable" and "melancholy, mistrustful, and jealous." Waller's comments influenced other writers for well over two centuries, so that a picture of Hooke as a disgruntled, selfish, anti-social curmudgeon dominates many older books and articles. For example, Arthur Berry said that Hooke "claimed credit for most of the scientific discoveries of the time." Sullivan wrote that Hooke was "positively unscrupulous" and possessing an "uneasy apprehensive vanity" in dealings with Newton. Manuel used the phrase "cantankerous, envious, vengeful" in his description. More described Hooke having both a "cynical temperament" and a "caustic tongue." Andrade was more sympathetic, but still used the adjectives "difficult", "suspicious", and "irritable" in describing Hooke. [quoted in wikipedia]. All of these character traits go well in the direction of strong MA with perhaps an increase due to Procyon proximity.
