The Natal Chart and Medical Astrology

The main points to be taken into consideration when studying a natal chart from a medical perspective are:

The Sun Sign - this is the life force so naturally very important. The sun's placement usually shows a weak spot, as in Aries rules the head, Taurus the throat and so on. This applies more so if the Sun is in any way afflicted.

The Moon - the flowing of the life force throughout the body, the fluids which help maintain the body. Also the emotional well-being. The moon is particularly important in the charts of women as it represents all aspects of the female cycles and motherhood. The moon also represents a weak spot regarding health, especially if afflicted.

If either the sun or the moon are afflicted, it will be of the nature of the afflicting planet and affect the bodily areas governed by the sign of the afflicting planet as well as those of the sun and/or moon.

The Ascendant - this rules the body as a whole, its appearance and general well-being. Planets afflicting, i.e. in square or opposition or malefic planets conjunct, often show potential harm or illness that can be triggered by transits.

The Sixth House - this is the house of health, naturally associated with Virgo. The sign on its cusp and its ruling planet is the ruler of health within the birthchart. Planets placed in this house also describe the health and potential illness or accidents. The planet ruling the sign on the cusp of the sixth house will show by its position in the birthchart another weak spot. For example, Capricorn being on the cusp of the sixth house, which is ruled by Saturn, and Saturn being posited in the sign of Pisces shows a likelihood of ailments concerning the feet. Similarly the sign on the cusp itself may show this as in Capricorn ruling the bones and skin.

Aspects to these chart points indicate the likely nature of an illness or of treatment and cure. That is to say that by aspect it can be seen what might be useful to do to ward off ill-health or to provide some sort of cure.

i have some questions:
my sun is in sagittarius and is square my moon, opp. my mars, & square my AC, i know thats bad, but how bad for my health?

my moon is in 6th, and yes, its afflicted, squaring the sun, squaring venus, squaring mars, squaring lilith, opp. AC, & square MC.

my 6th cusp is Aquarius, my Uranus is in my IC in capricorn, what kind of ailments does that mean for me?

I study Medical Astrology, but not very often. For me is the best to know as first the rules of Medical Astrology and then find some Case Study (I still like more Praxis than Theory, only).

Those aspects with the Moon are very dangerous, especially with the Moon in 6th house.

Other thing is: I always look first 8th house, ruler of 8th, planets in 8th and aspects to them. If there is all good, in that case even the worst illness can be cured.

Thank you.

To study Medical Astrology, people have to be ready for all: for bad and good aspects, as also for houses, rulers ect.

It is very sticky area. I have started because of my problems. After I went deeper and deeper (half a year I was in the Forum, where Moderator has explained, why somebody died from cancer). As many members wanted to know, will they get cancer, he stopped to give answers.

As I love Solar Return, I have seen, how it looks like, when somebody dies. Beside SR there are also Secondary Progressions. Just one way of prediction is not enough.

Kind regards,
Bobbie

I have an afflicted Pisces moon in the 8th house. (Moon squares Sag Neptune and Gemini Mars. But the moon is sextile my sun and trine my Uranus.) Ruler of my 8H is in the 5H.

With my Cap sun and Aquarius Mercury in the 6H, I have a keen interest in medicine and have read well over a hundred books on natural medicine.

My question is, are fatalistic predictions really warranted? My sanity depends on there being cures and a way out for most problems.

Or, at least, an opportune time for treatment. Transiting Pluto is creeping up on my sun and I like to think this affords extra potential for deep healing.

Somewhere on the stages of learning curve levels of astrology students and medical students, perhaps there's a common symptom they share. They can point out the symbols of a significant event in a chart, but woe and alas, are only able to say, "Hey!! I know that MEANS something!" but without knowing accurately and specifically what that something might be.

For me, it's an infuriating arr-r-r-rgh moment! Frustrated for feeling stuck, I chide myself--- I SHOULD KNOW THIS! Answer? Always that I need more STUDY and prep work! Astrology is complicated, but MEDICAL astrology is even more sophisticated. Need a special talent and trained expertise, for sure!

I think medical astrology is really intriguing. Certainly explains difficulties I've had. (Woke up during anesthesia in operation at 4 yrs old...transits)

Have to stop and tell myself that it's probably NOT as bad as I think it is--- then, Yeah, that it could ACTUALLY be MUCH MUCH worse! ) ... (nah...)

Please especially allow my wry sense of humor today... (it's my birthday). [may29]

JOKE: What's the difference between an Optimist and a Pessimist?

ANSWER : A Pessimist is an optimist 'with a little experience'?

I have also Mercury in 6th in trine with planets in 10 th house (I should be good diagnostic). In my 6th house is Asteroid Hygea (for health). As I have long chronic pain story, I was interested, is that visible in my Natal Chart. From the first sight my Chart looks much better than many other Charts. That is reason, I have started to work with rulers of the houses, where are they, are there in good or bad aspects. After that for me was all clear. There are not some dangerous aspects, but in my eyes is better to be long time healthy and then get some serious illness.

In the Forum, where I was, two Medical Astrologers (both Moderators) have explained, why somebody died from the diseases, members have asked. There was no prediction for the people, they are still alive. I think it is not ethical at all. Astrologers can do predictions for themself, but not for other people.

I am very curious about certain pains and illnesses. It makes me joy and I always look for some Case Study, where are explanations about person (already dead).

About predicting of any illness is very clear to look, what planets are in the Solar Return 6th house. When in my case all started, I had Saturn in 6th. Saturn is important only, if in Natal Chart is hard aspected: my Saturn has squares with my Natal ASC and all in the 1st house (Chiron there is 2nd evil about health).
To do SR is difficult, because nobody knows, where he will be for that birthday.

Second time, when my health became worse, my Secondary Progressed Mars moved from Leo to Virgo. In Natal Chart: Mars has square with the Sun.

I didn't look Transits, because the same Transits have many people.

Start to study Medical Astrology: it is a bit sticky area, especially for the people, they are afraid of different illnesses. From other side is very interesting.

I love more Western Astrology, because this Rahu and Ketu make me sick.

Thank you to come by.

vosborne1123,

I am glad that this link helps you. I am always searching more and more about Medical Astrology to know, what and why all happens (and happened) to us.
I am also very sorry for all you went through. Squares and opposition are dangerous, if they have any contact with 6th, 8th and 12th house (rulers, aspects and planets in those houses).

There are other interesting articles here, like about our past life.

My past life (out of the Topic):

-----WHO YOU WERE IN THE LAST LIFE:

You were a female in your previous birth. You were born in Switzerland. You were involved in doing some business.

WHAT YOU DID IN THE LAST LIFE:

In your past life, you were leading a happy life with your beautiful spouse. One day a pious person came as guest to your house. He was having a good amount of money with him. That night, out of greediness, you asked your spouse to kill the pious man. Your spouse had given him poison in the food and the man died. You had stolen his money.

THE EFFECT OF YOUR PAST DEEDS ON PRESENT LIFE:

The sins committed by you in your past life will have their own effects on your present birth. You will be cheated in money matters by others. In business, your partners will not be honest. You have to face legal troubles and threat from police and Government people.------

The last (effects of my past life to my present life) are really true.

p.s. Randall, sorry to jump in with this "conclusion".

that Vedic astro link is cool. lots of interesting stuff there indeed.

i did the past life reading too. lol (sorry)

WHO YOU WERE IN THE LAST LIFE:

You were a male in your past life. You were born in India. You were very aggressive and dynamic. Your family was having connection with Government.

WHAT YOU DID IN THE LAST LIFE:

In your past life, you were leading a happy life. One day a pious person came as guest to your house. He was on the way to a pilgrimage. He was having a good amount of money with him. He kept the money in your house and wanted to collect it back during return journey. But he died in the journey and did not return. You had stolen his money.

lmao! oh come on. if he left the money and died, maybe i had no-one to return it to? how is that stealing?

i feel so silly today. lol
