Medical astrology
Sun.Moon or the ascendant rule the
health,and the aspects to the ruler of health
by
other planets indicate the time in
life when one will suffer from ill health, and
the 6th
house and its ruler assists in
pointing out the nature of such sickness.
if the Sun is located in the 1st, 7th, 10th or 11th
houses of the figure, if so it must be taken
for
the ruler of health, but if the Sun is
not located in these houses then look to
them Moon, should it be in any of the above houses it will rule the health; but
should neither Sun or Moon be found in any of the above houses, then the ascendant
will rule the health. Again, should both
the Sun and Moon be placed in the above houses we must judge by them both, but the most powerful one will have
greater influence than the weaker. Should the Sun and Moon be of equal power, we
then judge of the Sun in a male nativity
and the Moon in a female nativity; but in
the
latter instance the afflictions of
either the Sun or Moon will have a powerful
influence in causing sickness, while the evil directions between the two are
decidedly dangerous.
The native will be troubled by ill health at that period, the nature
of which we judge from rules given under u diseases of the planets, and
signs'".However bad the aspects may be between
the rulers of the 2nd, 9th, 10th,11th and other house, will not cause
sickness
but refer to the financial and other affairs of life.Of the directions, we find those of
Saturn
and Mars are the roost powerful in causing ill health, they cause mostly
diseases
of the body, (although Mars often affects the mind;) they cause measles,
ague eruptive fevers, consumption
contagious epidemics, asthma, gangrenous ulcers,etc., while Uranus, Mercury Moon (and to some extent the Sun)affect the
mind,causing idiocy, insanity, inflammation
of
the brain, headache, etc., while
Uranus afflicting the Moon by direction
causes a desire to commit suicide, but the
native usually lacks the courage.The afflictions of the Sun or Moon
usually causes measles, eruptive fevers, croup hurts and injuries, bleeding, broken
bones
and weakness in the eyes. Jupiter
causes jaundice, biliousness, liver
complaints,
gangrene, and other ailments as given
in ''diseases of planets and signs".
Venus causes gravel, female trouble and
genera] disorders of the sexual system, and if
in
ill aspect to Saturn, Mars or Uranus,
she causes venereal diseases.Of the transits, we find those of
Saturn and Uranus (and Mars if afflicting the ruler of health at birth) will cause
ill
health according to the sign such transits occur in; but the transits of Jupiter,
Sun
Venus, Mercury and the Moon do not
affect the health unless evil directions are
operating at the time, in this case
transits of the Sun and Mercury over the ruler
of
health tend to aggravate sickness. The transits of Saturn over the ruler of
health
usually causes rheumatism, gout,
lumbago and kindred ailments brought about by
getting wet, over-lifting. Uranus
transits over the ruler of health, much the
same as
Saturn, causes falls, sprains, hurts
from machinery, etc., according to the sign
the
transit occurs, and the good or evil
aspect of Saturn and Uranus at birth.
