How is astrology related to your health? Can
astrology predict many health conditions or predispositions?
Hippocrates,
the father of the medical profession, believed that “a physician cannot safely
administer medicine if he is unacquainted with astrology.” Every physician
takes that oath before taking on the journey of medical practice overlooking
this important statement that Hippocrates made. Even so, Astrology has
developed more and has become more complex since that time and has become a
diagnostic tool that takes the natal chart of the individual as a reference
point for exploring, analyzing and helping the person with any health
difficulties.
For example, it has been observed
that people who had a surgery operation during Full Moons bleed more severely.
But it is very simplistic to just look at the moon phases to determine if a
problem exists or when to have a successful operation. So the safest way is to
examine the traditional rulerships of
the signs that relate with human body parts and the planets that describe
bodily functions , including the position and transit of Chiron, that is a Virgo asteroid that relates to health and
healing. The major indicators of health in a natal chart are the ascendant and
the 6th house of health. The ascendant describes the physical
appearance of the person and the sixth house the quality of health and the
genetic makeup of the individual. Aspects

There are
many systems of interpretation in astrology and many astrologers, but all agree
on some basic points and each astrologer – after learning the basics – devises his
own system and method of interpretation. However, most astrologers would simply
just use different words to interpret the chart saying essentially (almost) the
same thing.
And why should someone use astrology as a means
to healing an illness?
Simply
because astrology as a diagnostic tool can help to locate the part of the body
which is weak or needs special attention and apply antidotes or measures before a serious illness develops. Preventive astrology however works better
when the individual is aware of where
the illness might strike and where to pay attention at. Astrology could also
prevent infant mortality or help parents to parent consciously and lovingly. It is even valuable for determining the
health of our lovely pet(s)!
To conclude, it is best to not use Medical Astrology alone
to examine or treat a health situation. It should be used in a complementary way
after you get the certified physician’s or doctor’s
examination results. The most important thing to hold in mind, however, is that
the patient should be surrounded by a strong support system and be encouraged
and emotionally strengthened. The patient above all should believe in one’s
self and have faith that he can fight the illness!
