V463.31-34, P471.17-20   “ . . .her Neptune is afflicted. Whose isn’t? some
will ask. Ah. But as residents on this planet, usually. Greta lived, most
of the time, on Neptune—her affliction was more direct, purer, clearer than
we know it here.

The word "afflicted" in "her Neptune is afflicted" is obviously used in the
astrological sense. In what sense is the word "affliction" used later in
the paragraph?
