Zzzz-zz-z-z-z-zttt!

Electroshock Therapy was first administered in Hungary on February 23, 1934 by Ladislas J. Meduna. He had become aware that Epileptics stop having psychotic symptoms after seizures so he began trying to induce seizures in psychotics. He finally got around to plugging in the voltage with a catatonic schizophrenic guy. After 5 jolts administered within 3 weeks the guy was up and running like an old edsel. So, almost nobody else in history has been relieved like this but the "treatment," "therapy," "help" keeps being re-used. Wikipedia is full of stories of all the failures.

Anyhoo, enough about failures. Let's look at the time that the treatment worked. And look at the way the sky was set up that day. It must have been really blue that day (Aquarius = Electric Sky Blues).

First Electro Shock Therapy Treatment
d.o.p.i.* January 23, 1934 Lipotmezo, Budapest, Hungary

*means "date of plug in"

5 planets plus the North Node in Aquarius, the planet of electricity. The next time you meet an Aquarian at a party say: "You are Electrofying." (At first I misspelled that. It looks like "Electro-frying" LOL!)

Sun 3 AQU; Mercury 5 AQU trining Chiron
Saturn 17 AQU; NN 20 AQU; Mars 21 AQU; Venus 23 AQU trining Jupiter in Libra.
The Moon was probably in Taurus. The 9:30 am (Banker's Hours) chart has a square to Saturn and NN. That's a sobering aspect.

There was a t-square with retrograde Pluto in Cancer as apex squaring an opposition of Uranus in Aries (coming up in a couple of years again) opposite Jupiter in Libra.

I haven't been able to find Ladislas J. Meduna's birthdate. Born 1896, Budapest. Within 3 years electroshock was being used world wide. Ben Franklin could have just tied a catatonic to the tail of his kite I guess but that was the wrong century anyway. In many countries today, the treatment can be used on a patient without their consent. I don't think that's an Aquarius trait but I could be wrong. In January-February 1962 there was another line-up of planets in Aquarius to match the one on that day in 1934. Wonder who all got zapped that day. Wikipedia has a list of famous people who have received the treatment. Mostly people just permanently lost their memories. It's said that Memory loss from electroshock was the reason why Hemingway killed himself. The psychiatrists just call it "Depression." They could have just asked him to stop drinking.

Meduna did go on to have psychotic patients inhale CO2 until they passed out. (I always thought that was called either called kinky sex or a suicide attempt.) Anyway, just imagine: when Global Warming gets a little worse all the catatonics will be coming out of their stupors. They'll be the only ones left who are lucid. The meek really shall inherit the earth.
