Not really though but I have been suffering from some health issues lately and its taking me over the edge....
Last friday I had to have a stent put into my kidney because of an obstruction from a kidney stone- a big one at that. I suffered from this condition since I was twelve years old and haven't had an issue with it for the last 18 years when I was 16 and had surgery to remove it. Now here I am again- kidney stones and all, looking to have surgery for it in the next 2 1/2 weeks. Needless to say and for anyone who has had this condition or stent in there kidney, they can empathize. Doctors act like its not a big deal but it is highly uncomfortable and painful. Taking percocets for the pain but I only take them to sleep comfortably.
Now the kicker is that my gallstones have kicked into high gear and I suffered from the worst attack last night. I feel like I am falling apart....I'M ONLY 34!!!! too much going on....i think i eat healthily enough and I am not overweight. This is all genetics of course at play here. Thanks to parents for that one....

so can anyone take a look at my chart and give me some insight. 6th house is ruled by libra- kidneys....duh. Jupiter's about to go into my 12th house soon enough so I feel a lil' better. But once this is taken care of- I hope that this will be the end of it.

I feel like I'm falling apart too... ughh! I'm schedule for a back surgery as soon as I get health insurance. The only thing I have noticed is that our Mars are pretty close... mine is at 29.24 Saggie. A lot of people have been saying it's been the cause... (with Uranus apecting it). I hope you are feeling better soon! It's too early to bee feeling like this!

Also, have you looked at the transits back when this first happened to see if there is any correlation?

you think its North Node maybe?
just checked my chart for that year when I had the first surgery....SATURN TRANSIT 6TH HOUSE...UGHHHH!!!!

I'm in the same boat...if I had medical insurance, I could've had the surgery today and be on the road to recovery but my approval for insurance won't be finalized until the 1st of march....

hope everything works out for Racole...i totally sympathize with your pain- when your back bothers you- it affects the whole body. {{{hugs}}}

I don't have anything astro-related to contribute. Just wanted to share that our genes are only some sort of a blueprint, not something etched in stone. So just like the natal chart, they only "carry" predispositions and no predestiny of anything. If there is something to blame, it's the "environment" and not the genes. If we keep on believing that our health is a result of what's been handed down to us from our gene pool, then it's like saying that we are our charts, that the stars dictate how our lives play out and we don't have free will at all.

No i agree DA...its just a predisposition from the genetic pool. I have been trying to stay on my P's & Q's because I know what will happen if I don't. I thought that I was doing everything right but I guess it wasn't good enough. I guess saturn is telling me to REALLY buckle down when it comes to my health & routines. That it is time to re-examine what hasn't been working for me...

Not a doctor, but have you tried the olive oil and lemon juice remedy that's touted by a lot of people?

I have to google that one...I need a nice liver cleanse for these gallstones once this attack subsides.

I wanted to start this juice cleanse but with all the antiobiotics I have been taking, I didn't want to interfere with it.

Cappy,

Drink raw, unfiltered Apple cidar vinegar. I recommend Bragg Organic Brand!

People SWEAR by it for kidney stones. Also do a google search for apple cidar vinegar and kidney stone!

Good luck with everything. I hope you feel better soon.

Astrologically related, you have a dearth of water in your chart. That equals problems with elimination. How do you avoid kidney stones? Drink more water and other fluids.

I haven't had kidney stones, but also having a dearth of water I've read about how we should always keep hydrated to keep things flushing out.

I try AG....i become dehydrated quickly and keep a big bottle of water next to me. I guess I need to up the intake. Plus I don't even sweat...not that much anyway. when people are sweating buckets, I'm just perspiring. Because I drink so much, I am constantly running to bathroom. My boss thinks I am not really using the bathroom at all and I used to get chewed out all the time. Average day- I go about 20 times.

with that moon opposite neptune, i'm thinking it has something to do with your mother. boundary issues, lack of nurturing, smothering... perhaps healing that relationship (internally) will bring an end to your kidney stones.

Thanks gem x3....I'm gonna look into it. Wish there were some tasty remedies...lol

ElectricMind- I would like to think that I resolved all my issues with my mother but it is worth something to analyze.

That is interesting, Cappy. I don't know what to say. I just thought I'd bring that little bit of astrology to the conversation. It does sound as if you drink too much, which to me -my instinct anyway (Virgo Moon)- is that your body chemistry is off in some way. Maybe try more protein, less sugar, and less white flour items. Maybe reduce the dairy, too.

I do have a Sag friend that had kidney stones, and he was always drinking Monster energy drinks. He doesn't do that any more, so I don't know if that was the trigger. Now he sticks to coffee.

The New Moon on December 5, 2010 was conjunct your Neptune in the 7th house, opposed your Moon. This could have flaired up some of the underlying issues. The New Moon on May 3, 2011 is conjunct your Moon, opposed your Neptune, so this may bring some resolution to your health issue.

It seems like hard Moon/Neptune aspects can be indicative of chronic conditions. I personally have Moon square Neptune and have been dealing with chronic sinus and allergy problems since 2003.

Question: did you or your mother deal with any sexual abuse?

AG- I can't stand those over-caffeinated drinks...but I do allow myself one cup of coffee a day- which is about half coffee and half cream...lol. i am trying to wean myself off it at this time. I've limited my red meat to twice a month and not much of a meat eater...it makes me sick (gallstones). I try to stick to eating mostly vegetables and have been taking multi-vitamins. But obviously I need to something more. I worked out exercise routine with my daughters April 1st- enough time for me to recover and hopefully be ready.

ElectricMind- My mother has a tendency to pick with me and say off the wall stuff but in general we have a good relationship. I don't pay much attention to what she says because I just feel like its irrelevant to how I feel or should do things. She's an aries with a taurus moon & mars with a scorpio rising. Power struggles....it may be more or less me being in the middle of my mom and sister's power struggles...sister is a scorpio. No sex abuse- not that I know of on my mother's side.
