Medical Astrology : A Comprehensive Guide

It is believed that the God made man in His likeness, and from hoary antiquity seers and sages have noted a correspondence between the macrocosm, the great world, and the microcosm, the little world, or man. This is again expressed in the hermetic axiom which is the master-key to all mysteries: "As above, so below." Therefore we may note that the various parts of the human body are correlated to different divisions of the vaulted arch of heaven and the marching orbs that move through it. As the creative forces within the womb act upon the ovum and gradually build the fetus, so also the stellar rays from the macrocosmic body of mother nature are active upon man. It is their activity which we note in the process of evolution whereby that which is now man has come up through the lower kingdoms to his present stage of completion, and it is by the same rays that he will gradually evolve to the divine stature where he will indeed be like the Father in Heaven, consequently we may note the correspondences between the signs and planets and the different divisions of the human body. Medical Astrology is considered the most uncertain part of Astrology, although it is one of the oldest aspects of Astrology itself. In our opinion, this is partly true: first of all there's a lack of statistic studies concerning this subject, and while hereditary astrologic factors or the planetary incidence on the character are statistically analyzed, an unconscious fear seems to prevent the same rational application of statistic-mathematical criteria to planetary or zodiacal symbols determining the different diseases. Moreover, main diseases evolved in a directly proportional rate to his progress in knowledge, so, if in ancient times, the plague could be a great scourge, following the tubercolosis had this role up to today when it's AIDS. This is why, following old parameters, it's hard to classify pathologies which were non-existent up to few decades ago and which we wish will be so in future. Yet, despite the above described difficulties, the Astrologic Medicine itself offers the most starting points for researches and acts like trying desk for some astrologic theories concerning the planetary dignity or the zodiacal symbols if referred to the Man-Zodiac.
