ASTROLOGY AND HEALTH
about my health?” Health and well-being are of paramount concern to human beings.
Love, money, or career take second place, for without good health we cannot enjoy anything else in life.

Astrology and medicine have had a long marriage. Hippocrates (born around 460 B.C.), the Greek philosopher and physician who is considered the father of medicine,
said, “A physician without a knowledge of astrology has no right to call himself a physician.” Indeed, up until the eighteenth century, the study of astrology and its relationship to the body was very much a part of a doctor’s training.
When a patient became ill a chart was immediately drawn up. This guided the doctor in both diagnosis and treatment, for the chart would tell when the crisis would come and what medicine would help.
Of course, Western doctors in the twentieth century no longer use astrology to treat illness.
However, astrology can still be a useful tool in helping to maintain our physical well-being.
The Signs and Anatomy
To begin with, each sign of the zodiac rules or governs a specific part of the body. These associations date back to the beginning of astrology.
Curiously, the part of the body that a sign rules is in some ways the strongest and in other ways the weakest area for a person born under that sign. Look under your individual sign to see how this paradox of nature applies to you.
The Planets and Your Body
These glands release hormones that keep our bodies functioning.
Astrology and Diet
Included under your sign is a list of foods that would be beneficial for you in a healthful eating program.
Our bodies are very sensitive to the touch of another human being. The special language of touching is understood on a level more basic than speech.
Astrology and Your Erogenous Zones
For each sign in the zodiac, there are certain zones and areas of the body that are especially receptive and can receive sexual messages through touch.
Many books and manuals have been written about lovemaking, but few pay attention to the unique knowledge of erogenous zones supplied by astrology. You can use astrology to become a better, more sensitive lover.
The association between the signs of the zodiac and the different parts of the body and the illnesses connected with them is part of the Hermetic Theory, an ancient Egyptian-Greek philosophical science that held that the entire cosmos is reflected in the human being.
The signs of the zodiac, beginning with Aries and ending with Pisces, correlate to the human body, beginning with the head (ruled by Aries) and ending with the feet (ruled by
Pisces).
Pisces).
Thus, the entire zodiac is contained within the human body. I want to say a word to you before you read this health chapter. It can be read on both a simplistic and a more advanced level.
If, for example, you were born with the Sun in Aries, you will no doubt read the pages about Aries and
probably discover that many of the health tips and medical issues discussed in the Aries section apply to you.

But the story does not end there.
For one thing, modern medical astrology believes strongly in the “principle of polarity,” that the opposite sign in the zodiac also influences the health of the native.

Thus, if you are Aries, you should also read the pages on Libra (Aries’s opposite sign), for there will be guidance in those pages that also relates to Aries.
In addition (as I have emphasized and will continue to emphasize), no person is a pure sign. You may discover when you cast your birth chart that your chart is heavily weighted with planets in a particular sign other than your Sun sign.
Therefore, the health aspects of that particular sign will also apply to you.
Still another factor to be considered is your Ascendant (or Rising sign), which in many ways contributes to your outward appearance and health. Your Ascending sign also is a significant part of your health picture.

I have a woman client whose Sun sign is Libra, whose Ascendant
is Taurus, and who has three planets in Taurus, one of them Saturn, a planet that often indicates areas of delicate health.
She has had a long history of lower back problems (her Sun sign, Libra, rules the lumbar region), headaches (her Sun sign’s polarity is Aries, which rules the head), and throat and thyroid problems (her Ascendant, Taurus, heavily weighted with planets, rules the throat).
If this woman reads all three sections—Libra, Aries, and Taurus—she will gain a greater understanding of her health issues and needs, and get many more tips on care and exercise than if she reads only
Libra (her Sun sign).
Libra (her Sun sign).
I urge you to do the same. Later on, when you discover more about your chart, come back to this health
chapter and read further about the various signs that make up your whole birth chart.
