MEDICAL ASTROLOGY
Example birth chart
(medical reading)
Following the paragraph you will find an example of medical
astrology and of the figure of the horoscope you will receive. Each
reading is uniquely personalized. Moreover, in respect to traditional
astrology, the chart uses for the interpretation also the lunar nodes,
a great number of asteroids, and two positions of the Black Moon, the
correct and the mean. From the point of view of general astrology the
correct Black Moon and the mean Black Moon represent respectively the
point of excess in the behaviour of a person and his higher point of
spiritual realization in real life, while, from the point of view of
medical astrology, they represent respectively a possible inclination
towards a disease and how to recover one's health.
Introduction
Sun in Cancer, Moon in Scorpio, Ascendant in Sagittarius.
The major part of the elements (planets, lunar nodes, angles of the
chart, Black Moons, Chiron, Point of Fortune) are found in water signs
and earth signs, especially in water signs. There is some lack of fire
and air, and this means that this person is extremely inclined to emotions,
with difficulty in taking initiatives (lack of fire) and in using her
imagination when she finds herself in difficult situations (lack of
air).
Evolution of the soul
Antonella's northern node is in Virgo, ninth house, and
her southern node is in Pisces, third house. With the northern node
in Virgo it is difficult to rely on others, because just those people
you hoped to count on disappoint you, and in many cases it's just these
people who lean on those who have their northern node in Virgo. The
lesson to learn is to reorder their own emotions and to become even
more organized from a practical point of view, making the entire journey
with their own forces. As in this case the northern node is in ninth
house, it is also a matter of giving less importance to things of little
worth (the third house, which represents, among other things, the inferior
mind), learning to give value to what is hidden behind the appearances
and opening oneself to the divine inspiration (the ninth house, which
also represents the superior mind). In her childhood the parental figures
were not as reliable as she hoped : the Sun in eighth house, in fact,
in conjunction with the correct Black Moon and opposite to Saturn, indicates
that the father figure was quite absent, and present only as an authority,
even if capable of inspiring great ideals (grand trine Sun, Neptune,
Chiron). The mother figure was perceived in a rather confused way (conjunction
Moon-Neptune), it was not possible to have a dialogue with her during
the childhood and the adolescence (square Moon-Mercury), and for some
reason there was conflict with her (opposition Moon-Mars).It's not by
chance, naturally, that with the northern node in Virgo it is not possible,
when a child, to find people to rely on. These models, carried over
into adult life, reinforce the necessity that Antonella reorders her
emotional confusion ( the Moon, in fact, doesn't represent only the
mother, but also one's own emotivity), without being able to rely on
a partner, as the Sun in eighth house doesn't represent only the father,
but also possible partners. Moreover, Jupiter retrograde in Sagittarius,
first house, and Saturn retrograde in Capricorn, second house, respectively
indicate that Antonella should learn to balance her wish of being open
and the way in which in her life she copes with restrictions, both those
caused by others and those she creates by herself. The great earth trine
Mars in Taurus/Saturn in Capricorn/northern node in Virgo, indicates
that she is capable of effective actions, brought forward with perseverance,
and this will help her in the realization of her evolution. The big
water trine Sun-Moon- mean Black Moon in Cancer/Moon-Neptune in Scorpio/Chiron
in Pisces indicates that, activating the superior vibrations of these
zodiacal signs and planets, and of the houses in which these latter
are in, Antonella can become a person capable of deep relationships
with others, of male and female friendships, in which aspirations and
ideals are shared, and in which the right balance between asking for
and giving nurture is found. As she becomes more mature, in fact, she
will be more and more conscious of her strength, also at a practical
level, and this will make sure that she has less need to rely on others.
At that point it would be also possible to have a satisfying relationship
with a partner, that is when Antonella will be capable of having completely
equal relationships with others. The deep intuitive capabilities testified
by Sun, Venus, Black Moons and Mercury in eighth house, and by Moon-Neptune
in Scorpio, together with the capacity of healing depending on the trine
Mars-Saturn, makes it possible that Antonella has a talent for psychology,
esoterism, healing with herbs, cromotherapy, mediumistic abilities,
spirituality. Cultivating these fields will help her to discover her
talents and to practise them, while in previous lives they were little
or badly used (southern node in Pisces).
Weak points at a physical level and possible pathologies
As the sign of Cancer (the stomach) is occupied by the
two Black Moons, the Sun and Venus, and the asteroid Ceres (which represents
nourishing, both as what we ingest and as a psychic nourishing) is square
to the cusp of the sixth house (which represents health), it is clear
that Antonella's major problems are nourishing and the stomach. This
is reinforced by the opposition Moon-Mars (possible digestive problems)
and by Saturn retrograde (which represents, among other things, the
spleen, as it is meant in Chinese medicine, that is the place , linked
to the stomach, in which anxiety and worries manifest themselves) opposite
to the Black Moons, Sun and Venus. Also the liver is a zone of somatization
particularly sensible in this chart. It is quite logical, if we consider
what has been said in the previous paragraphs, that Antonella, who in
some periods of her life has suffered from anorexia, has a problem with
nourishing. She has not been 'fed' enough, in fact, throughout her life,
neither by her parents nor by other people, considering her boundless
desire for receiving help and support. This lack has become anxiety
: the Moon in conjunction with Neptune , in fact, is opposite to Mars
on the cusp of the sixth house, and this aspect indicates a tendency
to anxiety, as Mercury quincunx to Jupiter indicates problems with the
nervous system. On the other hand, Mercury quincunx to Jupiter also
indicates problems such as high blood sugar and low blood sugar and
this, reinforced by Mercury trine to Neptune and by Venus trine to Neptune,
and also by the sixth house in Taurus and by the lunar nodes in the
axis Pisces-Virgo, indicates that all the metabolism is potentially
unbalanced. Her refusal of food and the difficulty to assimilate it
are both demonstrations of her deep discomfort as regards to how much
to give and to get from the external world.
Healing
The fact that the Point of Fortune is sextile to the
cusp of the sixth house is a protection for Antonella's health, and
indicates that the eventual moments of difficulty will be greatly overcome.
With Saturn trine to the cusp of the sixth house, Sun-Venus sextile
and Mars in conjunction, the more suitable therapies are acupuncture,
healing with erbs and cromotherapy. Pranotherapy is not particularly
suitable, as Uranus is square to the cusp of the sixth house. Homeopathy
could help, as Pluto forms a large trine with the cusp of the health
house. A personalized diet could be very useful.
On the other hand a true and deep healing can occur only
with the recovery of Antonella's soul and will occur therefore when
she solves her basic conflict which consists of the vain search for
someone to rely on; moreover, when she not only discovers her talents
but also puts them into practice (as indicated in the paragraph 'Evolution
of the soul'), and she is grown enough to understand that she should
be able to give nourishing if she wants to receive it.
