As we know, alcoholism considered as a disease. The modern disease theory of alcoholism states that problem drinking is sometimes caused by a disease of the brain, characterized by altered brain structure and function.
Before describing the signs alcoholism in a birth chart, it is necessary to determine whether there is a general formula of a disease in the examined horoscope. The general formula of the disease consists of negative interactions between 6th, 8th and 12th “vicious” houses of the horoscope.
In terms of events, the 6th house is responsible for minor injuries and surgeries, including not dangerous bone fractures, which may not violate the work capacity of the subject.
If we consider the events connected to the 12th house, we will find its connection to quite serious traumas, but not dangerous for life, surgery and complex fractures. The main difference between 6th and 12th houses is that the last requires a mandatory hospitalization, lack of freedom, the situation in which many decisions and goals and the initiative of the native will not go to the level of implementation.
Participation of the 8th house in the formula indicates the possibility of severe and critical traumas, serious and dangerous surgery, open wounds and fractures, organ removal, the risk of severe bleeding, the danger to the life of the horoscope owner.
So, the first part of the formula is:
1. VI ~ VIII ~ XII (or its variants, as for example VI ~ XII)
The second part of the formula is:
2. II / IV ~ III ~ IX (The inharmonious interactions of 2nd or 4th with 3rd and (or) 9th houses of horoscope)
II ~ III The tense interactions indicate that a person will suffer losses from trade, from private transportation, a lot of expenses. A lot of losses from unreasonable expenses, unforeseen expenses, unsuccessful cases. Lack of talent in gaining profit. Damage associated with relatives or neighbors.
IV ~ III Tense interaction can mean a lot of moving, changing addresses and housing, but not always a deterioration in living conditions, a difficult situation in the family and home: chaos, confusion, restless family life, lack of normal conditions. There are possible quarrels in relations with neighbors, with relatives. If conflict planets participate in such interaction, such as Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto, then this is not just a quarrel, it can be serious conflicts with neighbors, relatives through the fault of the owner of the horoscope.
II ~ IX A person lives beyond his means and is prone to financial adventures. This is a formula of litigation – property, financial disputes, losses from court cases, a lot of unsuccessful trips, losses away from home. Long trips will be accompanied by large material costs. Possible losses through distant relatives.
IV ~IX Stressful interaction can indicate possible forced relocation, loss of property by court decision. Excessive costs of real estate.
In the Natal chart of an alcoholic, the basic formula of the disease will be present: VI ~ VIII ~ XII. The less the VIII house is involved, the easier the form of the disease, the easier it goes. The formula should involve more of VI ~ XII interactions. If the VIII house of the horoscope plays an active role in the formula, the disease develops rapidly, early, in aggressive form, severe, with serious complications.
What does the formula of alcoholism in the horoscope look like?
In the Natal chart, an alcoholic must have the presence of damaged the Moon or Neptune. They can be elements of the house of disease (VI or VIII or XII), actively participate in the formula of the disease and they should be damaged. Participation in the formula of alcoholism of the Moon and Neptune, the planets of the unconscious mind and the subconscious mind, explains the subsequent degradation of the personality.
It is necessary to make an additional explanation about the IX house participation in the formula of alcoholism. The main organ (аpart from the brain) that suffers from alcoholism is primarily the liver (IX house). The IX house is also associated with subtle biochemical processes at the cellular level. The formula of alcoholism is also associated with the IV house – the stomach – which is the main way of introducing alcohol to the body. The IV house also indicates the hereditary nature of the disease.
It is interesting that the planets that damage Neptune or the Moon determine those types of drinks to which this person is least resistant. For example, the damage to the Moon, Neptune from Mars, Pluto suggests that for the person the strongest alcoholic beverages (vodka, hootch, ethanol) will be the most dangerous; damage from Jupiter – carbonated spirits (such as champagne); damage from Venus – sweet liquor (liqueurs, cordial), etc.
Thus the astrological full formula of an alcoholism in a horoscope is looking like this:
1. VI ~ VIII ~ XII
2. II / IV ~ III ~ IX

Born Hiram King Williams in 1923, in Mt. Olive, Alabama, he was keenly aware of the music of his times. He absorbed it all from popular radio songs, gospel, and street blues. But, he carried certain burdens along with him. The two indisputable facts of Hank Williams’s life was his love for music and alcohol. Both may have been due to the fact that he was born with a back condition called spina bifida occulta — a disorder of the spinal column. Biographers agree, the resulting pain caused him to move toward music as a career since he was physically unable to labor in the Alabama lumber industry, where jobs were plentiful for young men during the ’30s. But, with the chronic pain from his back, it was his addiction to alcohol, and eventually tranquilizers and pain killers, that would shape his final destiny. He began drinking at age 11 and took his last drink a short 18 years later.
