What is the astrology of Porphyria?

1
Has anybody come across any studies that show the astrological patterns for Porphyria, specifically Acute Intermittent Porphyria, not the type where the skin is sensitive to sunlight.

It is caused by lack of enzymes in the production of Haem, and the symptoms are poisoning from the by products, which are Porphyrins, with their iron-containing porphyrin rings. Haemoglobin carries oxygen and hence deals in electron transfer.

Iron makes me think Mars. Other possibilities could be Venus, or Pluto as the blood is involved and it is usually a genetic illness.

I suppose I need to look up the historical characters who were supposed to have Porphyria, and then see if the Astrodienst website has their charts. I think King George III is one of them. http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Geo ... of_England

Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_F ... -Meiningen Princess Feodora of Saxe-Meiningen was descended from King George III.

Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_C ... of_Prussia Princess Charlotte of Prussia was the mother of Princess Feodora, and both are believed to have had Porphyria, from scientists studying their remains.

Princess Charlotte of Prussia. This is a noon chart because I can't find a time of birth. Phaethon 22 degrees Sagittarius retrograde (one degree from station to direct).

Thanks, interesting article. I thought that Mars Uranus aspect might have something to do with it. And as the author says, the aspect of Mars to the Moon as well.

Porphyria is a defect in the production of haem, which contains iron, so that links to Mars. It is a usually genetic problem making enzymes in the production of haem. It has a lot of physical symptoms as well as psychiatric symptoms, all caused by porphyrin poisoning.

Also Mars seems to be the most relevant planet to insanity and psychosis. Oddly enough, I found that in charts of serial killers it is Venus that seems to be involved rather than Mars, and in charts of insanity Mars is more likely though a badly aspected Venus can be also.
