The Planets and Your Health


Utility and diagnosis with a medical chart interpretation entails examining the general tendencies of the health and constitution, to the detailing of specific disorders. First look at your Sun sign, as it provides the key to your vitality and metabolism. This report will give you the dietary and other lifestyle factors conducive to your solar sign and vitality. Here are the keynotes to keep in mind as you read your Body & Soul astrological profile:

The "Luminaries" (Sun and Moon) are the most important planets in your chart with regards to health. All manifestations of life depend upon the conversion of food into chemicals necessary for energy, structure and function. Essentially, your body is a flow system of nutrients in, and by-products and toxins out. A normal biological flow of ingestion and excretion maintains your balance and homeostasis. The Sun, its energy (prana or ch'i), photons, and light is vital not only for the production of food (photosynthesis), but the conversion inside your cells to obtain the energy necessary for metabolism.

Interruption of either body cycle, ingestion (air, water, light, and nutrients), or excretion (defecation, urination, exhalation, sudorification) disrupts the normal biological flow. Diseases are thus the expression of the battle of the organism against toxins, interruption of excretion phases, and its attempt to counteract or expel them. During the ensuing interruption phases, which are shown by the horoscope, parasitic viruses, bacteria, and fungi enter the field and further complicate the disorder(s). From the medical horoscope, we look at these essential factors with regards to health:

The Sun, its zodiac sign location and if it is afflicted by the malefic planets indicating overall metabolism whether -normal, fast (afflictions by Mars), or slow/sluggish (afflictions by Saturn). From the Sun sign is gained knowledge of the types of foods the native should be eat, the colors and aromas that enliven one best, and the gemstones and elixirs that can provide energy and longevity. The Sun, according to the season you were born in indicates your overall metabolic rate.

The Moon, its zodiac sign and if it is afflicted by the malefic planets indicating the flow of lymph, urination and excretion phases. From the Moon sign is gained insight into the native's ability to detoxify, condition of lymphatic flow, emotional factors for good or for worse, and homeopathics that can offset negative influences.

Saturn, the Great Malefic: its location according to sign and house represents the weakest point of the body, where toxins will accumulate, and if afflicted most certainly shows where a chronic disorder is located. Its nature is cold, constricting, weakening the metabolic powers, and allows toxins to settle and do their damage.

Uranus, if afflicted, causes spasm of the blood vessels and a local oxygen deficiency which results in incoordination, a "choking" of endocrine function, faulty autonomic nervous steering (dystonias), and peculiar dyscrasias that must be dealt with by remedial measures. Disturbed erratic functions is shown by the zodiac sign Uranus is located. If for example, in Cancer, it would indicate periodic breast pains, a stomach that shuts on and off leading to indigestion, heartburn, gas, etc., and menstruation that is normal sometimes and abnormal other times. These afflictions are a bit of a mystery but are usually functional and not organic and amenable to homeopathics, physical therapy, massage, and lifestyle corrections. Uranian afflictions often account for the ongoing life nuisances or complaints that are difficult to diagnose. This is where medical astrology can provide key insights and remedial actions otherwise not available or explainable. The Uranus sign and house location will show where the spasms are most likely to occur.

Neptune, if afflicted, indicates atony as its placement by sign and house shows where the vitality or prana is liable to be "leaking" out from the etheric body. Sunlight tends to harden or anneal the etheric body and prevents this leakage. Therefore the diseases of Neptune tend to be those that arise from living indoors for too long. Neptune rules viral and septic diseases like strep throat, pneumonia, and tuberculosis.
