Let us discuss the birth chart of Helen Keller. She was an American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. Born in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, she lost her sight and her hearing after a bout of illness at the age of 19 months.

Above birth chart is of Hellen Keller. As we can observe Sun and Moon which represents eye sight are severely afflicted in above chart. Sun is getting eclipsed under Rahu-Ketu axis and also afflicted in the company of it’s enemy Venus. Moon too gets afflicted by Venus and Ketu as it is in trine from the second house. This combination made her blind.

Now the third house and Mercury both represents hearing abilities are afflicted. Mercury is getting afflicted with the presence of debilitated Mars who also rules the 12^th house of loss. The lord of 3^rd house which is Moon is also afflicted as described in above paragraph.
