Manu bhai Shah's notes on astrology.

Important hint:

Mars in the 6th, house gives benefic results and is

The destroyer of illnesses and enemies, while Saturn is the creator of diseases and enemies, is to be understood.

The planet which is com-bust (covered by Sun's

Orb) gives the result of the Sun

What is the effect of the planet which aspects?

The aspect of planet is considered to be powerful.

For instance, Venus which in the 1st house wants

To create its own effect in the first house, but if Jupiter

Aspects Venus in the 1st house, the effect of Venus

Is cancelled by Jupiter in the 1st house; while Jupiter in the 7th house wants to create his own effect in

The 7th house but Venus from the 1st house aspects

Jupiter therefore cancelling the effect of Jupiter in 7^th house.

 

The four humors of Medical astrology

The four humors and medical astrology.

To discover the nature of the humor offending, or quality of the disease, which that we may does, observe first what sign is in the sixth house, and what sign Ascends in the first house, in what sign the Lords of those houses are in; which being well understood, will acquaint us with the nature of the disease.

there are 4 humours, viz. Choler; Blood; Flegm, and Melancholly, so are they represented and governed by the 12 signs

Medieval Medicine: The Four Humors. ... The four humors were thought to be sanguine (blood), choleric (yellow bile), melancholic (black bile), and phlegmatic (phlegm) and their composition within the body was considered to determine a patient's personality and health concerns.

Agents of Metabolism

     The Four Humors are the metabolic agents of the Four Elements in the human body.  The right balance and purity of them is essential to maintaining health.  The Four Humors and the elements they serve are as follows:
     BLOOD - AIR
     PHLEGM - WATER
     YELLOW BILE - FIRE
     BLACK BILE - EARTH 
     All four of these humors, or vital fluids, are present in the bloodstream in varying quantities:
     Blood, or the Sanguine humor, is the red, hemoglobin-rich portion.
     Phlegm, or the Phlegmatic humor, is present as the clear plasma portion.
     Yellow Bile, or the Choleric humor, is present as a slight residue or bilirubin, imparting a slight yellowish tint.
     Black Bile, or the Melancholic humor, is present as a brownish grey sediment with platelets and clotting factors.

Identification of sick body part (medical astrology Notes)

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 distempered. Afflicted, but in this we must carefully heed the 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 distempered.

If the Lord of the sixth house be in the ten first degrees of a sign, the upper part of that member, signified by that sign, is 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 of the propounding of the question in Cancer, in the first part thereof, then we may judge the upper part of the Stomach to be afflicted by such diseases as are incident to the upper part thereof, of the nature of the Lord of the sixth, the like may be observed by any other sign. Member represented thereby is most 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, but the nature of the Planet, who is Author of the Disease, is principally to be regarded
