Identification of sick body part (medical astrology Notes)
What
part of the body is afflicted.( As per William Lily)
We
must herein consider, first, what sign is in the sixth house, and what member
and part of Man’s Body it governs; Secondly, in what sign the Lord of the sixth
is posited, and what part or member that sign represents, in which he is
placed: likewise we must have regard unto the Lord of the ascendant, and the
Moon, and observe what sign they are in; which being well considered, we shall suddenly
find and discover, what part or member of the body is sign wherein the Lord of
the sixth is posited, for usually that member governed or signified by that
sign, wherein the Lord of the sixth is placed, is most afflicted and

most afflicted, if he be in the middle of a sign, the middle of that member
signified thereby, is most oppressed, if in the latter part or last degrees of
a sign, the lower part of that or at the time

afflicted. As for example, the lord of the sixth house, at the time of the
first decumbiture of the sick,
And here we must also observe,
that in discovering the nature and quality of any disease, we must not rely only upon the natural
signification of the sign, for not the sign openly to be considered is enough,

be regarded
