Methods and Techniques of Medical Astrology
By Dusko Savic | Submitted On November 03, 2006
Medical astrology is the branch of
astrology that deals with the possible and actual health and diseases of the
client. Usually, people come to the astrologer in times of great life changes,
such as
Should I change my job?
When will I come into my inheritance?
Should I marry him/her? etc
To the medical astrologer, however, people come in the progressed stages of the
illness, often after some kind of surgery has already taken place, along with a
rich history of dealing with doctors. The usual questions for the medical
astrologer are:
Should I go for surgery?
Does it have to be a surgery?
When should the surgery take place?
Why don't we have children?
Do I have cancer?
Will my cancer come to pass this year? etc
If the events in the history of illness coincide with certain
astrological transits and configurations, we can find the astrological reason
for illness, give the prognosis for the course and duration of the illness, and
decide upon a therapy needed and so on. The opposite situation often takes place
as well: the client comes for the usual astrological session, but the astrologer
sees in the horoscope a danger long before the illness has manifested and
materialized.
A great deal of expectations is attached to the advice the medical astrologer
gives. Will there be a surgery or not, to go for chemotherapy or not, for a
radiology therapy or not...
"On Tuesday, I have a radiology therapy appointment, should I go?"
"The doctor recommended taking my bladder away to stop the cancer from
spreading, should I do that or not?"
Medical astrology is the cruelest branch of astrology. If you cannot bear
meeting with tough, terminal pathologies, if you do not want to take lethal
responsibility for the consequences of you advice -- you better don't do it. If
you are not a medical doctor by profession, you will have to prepare well and
read literature, consult medical doctors, gather information from the Internet,
take part in forums, groups, membership sites etc.
The problems of curing are drastically different to what astrologers usually do
during the reading. In an ideal world, astrologers advise and clients change
their behavior, in order to spend the surplus energy the planets and stars send
them. Medical astrologer may be more concrete and suggest wearing certain
crystals, colours, aromatherapy, flower remedies and so on. It is best that the
professions of medical astrologer and medical doctor do not mix. Ideally,
medical astrologer does not cure and the client is not the patient, unless the
medical astrologer is medical doctor as well, or eventually, a qualified
homeopath. Neither should medical astrologer be a healer: he or she should only
give a highly qualified prognosis of malefic influences that have already
manifested as a disease and will -- unless nothing is undertaken -- continue to
manifest thus, probably with heavier consequences as the time progresses.
Medical astrologer reaches out for all astrological techniques and methods from
which something can be deduced about the nature of illness. He or she must be,
above all, a competent astrologer, must command a wide array of astrological
techniques and use them for the benefit of the client and their health. Since he
or she gives advice about healing, but cannot heal on his own, in an ideal
world, he or she should be connected to doctors and healers, should know their
natal charts and through synastry decide whom the patient should see next.
However, for practical reasons, it is best that the client finds his or her own
doctors and healers to go after visiting the astrologer, otherwise, in case
something goes wrong (and with ill people it always will), the astrologer can be
accused of having a deal with the health practitioner that he has sent the
client to.
From the chart, it is possible to decide upon the kind of therapy, such as
homeopathy, Bach flower remedies, vibropathy, massage, classical medicine,
attending spas, aromatherapy, crystal healing, Su Jok, etc.
The Signs
Signs represent the twelve large systems in the body of man, starting with Aries
which represents the head, all through the sign of Pisces, ruling the feet. The
signs that contain the planets, either by birth or through progressed
horoscopes, will stand out, or will most probably be the sources of illness. For
each sign a special tissue salt exists; these are the building materials for
human body, the substances through the combination of which tissues, organs,
systems of organs, and finally the entire body are built. Using these salts on
their own or by combining them in material or homeopathic doses, one's health
can be much improved.
Quite similarly, for each sign a special type of food is best. Medical
astrologer will be qualified to give advice about food, and this will also
improve the client's health in numerous ways. Using the theory of doctrines,
i.e. finding the similarities between the zodiac, body, and herbs, it is also
possible to connect signs with herbs and prescribe them to help the patient.
Degrees of the Horoscope in Medical Astrology
Each sign has 30 degrees, and each of these 360 degrees is connected to one part
of the body. The planet on that degree is a predisposition for an illness -- the
degree tells us which part of the body is in question, while the planet will
show what kind of disease it will be. In a similar manner, it is possible to
connect the midpoints and the degrees.
The Planets, Asteroids, and the Uranian Planets in Medical Astrology
The planets are sources of energy in the horoscope, and each is unique. For
instance, the energy of Mars is fire-like; he flames up the fires in the body
(resulting in high temperature) and cleanses it thus. Neptune stands for
bacteria that are known to the medicine, while Pluto is for the unknown
bacteria, and so on. The asteroids, the large ones in particular, such as Ceres,
Juno and others, behave in a similar way. In medical astrology, the Uranian
planets can also be used. There are eight "Uranian" planets which have no
astronomical data, but the influence of which can be felt quite strongly in the
chart. Some of these planets have strong medical connotations, so using them can
increase the credibility of medical astrology analysis up to 90% of success.
The Houses in Medical Astrology
Out of the twelve houses in the usual astrology, five are more significant that
the others:
First house -- the physical body,
Sixth house -- diseases,
Eighth house -- support from others, sex, death, karma, terminal states, cancer,
Twelfth house -- isolation, hospitals and monasteries, psychic problems,
auto-immunity.
However, every house has its own special meaning in medical astrology:
No. 1 -- face, consciousness, brain tumors, brain insults, etc
No. 2 -- blood, electrolytes, hormones, food intake, hypophysis, diabetes.
No. 3 -- the lungs, speech problems,
No. 4 -- producing food for others, mother, milk; genetics, inheritance,
No. 5 -- heart, infarction of myocardium,
No. 6 -- diseases, personal hygiene, meals, day to day habits,
No. 7 -- death through brain problems, balance of the body, spine,
No. 8 -- Expelling of the processed foods, hypophysis, adrenal cortex, kidneys,
No. 9 -- the upper part of brain, cerebral hemisphere, Jupiter rules over the
left, Neptune rules over the right hemisphere;
No. 10 -- metabolism,
No. 11 -- circulation, hemorrhagia,
No. 12 -- autoimmune diseases, thymus, immunity in general, liver.
The ruler of the house is the main indicator of the events related to the house,
while the planets in the house are not so important. For instance, to see what
kinds of illnesses one can have, take a look at the sixth house and its ruler,
its position, aspects and transits. Only after the ruler remained under pressure
for a long time, we could be allowed to start predicting the existence of a
disease.
Planetary Aspects
How will a planet express its energies primarily depends on its relations with
other planets, which boils down to the angle that those two planets make with
the centre of the circle. Each pair of planets brings its own kind of sickness,
for instance, a combination of Sun and Saturn will slow down the metabolism,
while the Sun and Mars make it easy for the person to burn his or her own energy
-- such persons often go in for sports.
The angle of 150 degrees (inconjunction) is especially malefic. Whenever there
is an exact inconjunction between two planets in the chart, the person will have
to live through various troubles of medical nature. Malefic aspects from malefic
planets to the Moon are the worst. Squares are extremely malefic, so Saturn
squaring the Moon gives a predisposition towards cancer, although the same
effect may be seen from malefic aspects from Neptune and/or Pluto to the Moon.
Just as in other branches of astrology, malefic aspects produce action -- an
illness of a kind. But, it always pays to see where the good aspects are,
because they bring amelioration, often a complete cure -- sometimes through
remedies, sometimes through persons that resemble the description of the aspect
(for instance, a trine to Neptune -- healing through an apothecary etc.)
If there are no beneficial aspects to the rulers of the 6th, 8th and/or 12th
houses, then we should find persons whose planets create harmonious aspects. If
that person is the doctor or a healer, healing will be successful.
Midpoints in Medical Astrology
Each planet is on the middle distance of another two planets, as if in a triple
conjunction. For every midpoint there is a special medical delineation: the
midpoint of Jupiter and Saturn denotes liver, while MA/SA (the midpoint for Mars
and Saturn) denotes spasms, in more involved cases even death. Midpoints make
each chart as unique as possible and you cannot do medical astrology well if you
are not using them. For even greater precision, include the Uranian planets and
their midpoints, especially in progressed charts.
Medical Aphorisms
Medical aphorisms are configurations typical for specific diseases and states.
For instance, Mars on 29 Scorpio near the Ascendent will give a predisposition
towards bronchitis, as will any squared malefic in Gemini, as will Saturn on the
Ascendent in a mutable sign... and there may be more such combinations, for any
given illness. The medical astrologer must be very well acquainted with such
configurations and should be able to recognize them in the chart. However, the
clients won't hold it against you if the middle of the session you look up at
the manual -- they won't care if it helps them get cured!
In these modern times, it is possible to have astrology software compute medical
configurations in the natal chart. To be more precise, without such a piece of
software, it would be very difficult to do medical astrology, because there are
hundreds of such configurations.
Diagnosing an Illness Based on the Natal Chart
Every chart contains dozens of potentially problematic configurations. It does
not mean that that person must be ill just because such configurations exist in
the chart, neither will it mean that the person will have all those illnesses at
once, neither will it mean that all possibilities for illnesses in the chart
must become reality. Configuration is a predisposition for illness, and it will
manifest itself only when at least three predispositions are active at the same
time. For instance, a square between the Moon and Saturn is the most frequent
natal predisposition for cancer. The second predisposition may then come every
seven years, since it takes seven years for the progressed Moon to make another
malefic aspect to the natal Saturn. The third factor may come into play through
a solar chart, in which there may be, say, an in conjunction between the Moon
and Saturn. Or the third factor may come through a slow transit of Saturn,
perhaps through its stationary point squaring the natal Moon. If there are four
such factors at one and the same period of time, the client will feel as if
surrounded by evil and wherever they turn to, the situation looks hopeless to
them.
Only when we see such a concentration of approximately identical transits, may
we want to warn the client about cancer or some other such grave illness. Since
we can compute the transits and solar charts in advance, we can exactly tell the
client when his or her troubles will begin, as well as when will they end.
Sometimes, an identical predisposition will appear from different
configurations. If there is a square of Uranus to the Ascendent, but that same
Ascendent is also squared by Pluto, the combination for surgery will appear
twice. Now it only takes a transit of Mars to empower one of those
configurations, or for Mars to be on the Uranus/Pluto midpoint in the solar
return chart and the surgery seems unavoidable.
Diagnosing an Illness Based on Transits, Progressions, Solar and Synastry Charts
In natal astrology, in 90% of sessions we will need nothing more than the natal
chart and the transits -- in one-on-one sessions there simply isn't time to dive
into all the charts that can be useful. In medical astrology, however, it is a
routine to use many other types of charts. There must be three independent
confirmations for illness to appear, regardless in which chart do we see it.
Looking for clues in the chart in case of medical astrology often is a
detective-like work, until you find the constellation which was active when the
symptoms first started. Once you connect real-life events with their possible
astrological causes, you can predict how the illness will unfold, and with
confidence.
Long transits of malefic planets produce all kinds of health problems,
while the progressive horoscope produces the best long-term view of the client's
life. In medical astrology, we always use solar charts, because there we see
strong accents, which may not endure for long, but which sometimes leave the
sequel for the rest of the client's life.
It also matters whom do you live with. The persons the client lives with and
exchanges his or her energy with them. Sometimes they heal just by being
present, in other times they make the client only sicker. The country in which
the client lives will also have its own horoscope and that can be taken into
account too.
Auxiliary Methods in Medical Astrology
Arabian Parts are formed by adding two important points, from which another, the
third point, is subtracted. There are about 500 Arabian Parts, and some of them
are directly related to health. Pars Fortunae is the most well known Arabian
Part, and it combines influences of the Sun, Moon and Ascendent.
Each particular house has its own set of Arabian Parts. For instance, the sixth
house has the following two Arabian Parts, which are of interest in medical
astrology:
Incurable diseases, bad fortune and vice (Asc + Mars - Saturn),
Curable diseases (Asc + Mars - Mercur),
The sixth house also contains the parts for servants, the prisoners of war, and
the pars of the defeated, which have nothing to do with health.
The number of Arabian Parts per house varies: house No. 7 has 16 Arabian Parts,
house No. 8 -- 5 Parts and so on.
Quite often, horary astrology will yield loads of info. Instead of natal charts
and the charts that are derived from it, in horary astrology we erect the chart
for the time of asking the question about the illness. Reading a horary chart is
different to the reading of the natal and all other charts, so don't use this
technique unless you know what you are doing. Nevertheless, it pays to learn
horary astrology, because it often gives a direct glimpse into the real
situation, the course of the illness, eventual surgeries and deaths etc.
The decumbiture chart is the chart for the beginning of an illness. We should
make it only if we know for certain when the illness begun. Also has rules of
its own.
Electional astrology tries to discover when an action should begin. In medical
astrology, such charts could be studied to discover when the prescribed therapy
should start, when is the time for doctor to visit the patient and so on.
The Role of Medical Astrology in Healing
Modern medicine knows a lot about the state of the patient in the moment of
measurement, and knows also, in a statistical manner, whether the prognosis is
good or bad. Nevertheless, it never deals with the future of the patient, and is
almost always used when something bad has already happened. Medical astrology is
the missing link between the recorded state of the patient, his or her current
therapy and the future development of the illness. Since it is possible to make
the astrological prognosis in advance, it becomes possible to do something in
advance as well. Homeopathy and other energy healing systems are a natural
continuation of medical astrology, because energy healing "spends" the unwanted
but present energy that planets and stars send us via astral body. The biggest
advantage of medical astrology is that it enables not only to predict which
techniques and remedies can heal now, but when these techniques and remedies
should be stopped, and some other healing modality be taken and applied instead.
