Introduction
Albert Einstein said: Astrology is a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of knowledge.
It taught me many things and I am greatly indebted to it.
Medical Astrology is the part of astrology that deals with the functioning of the human body. A
competent medical astrologer can analyze a person's birth chart and determine bodily strengths
and weaknesses and proneness to various disease states. In the event of illness or disease, a
medical astrologer will use predictive methods to try to determine the severity and duration of
the disease.
Medical astrology is also helpful in elective surgery. The medical astrologer can pick the best
date(s) and time(s) for an elective procedure. Needless to say, one should not try to use elective
astrology in a medical emergency.
Medical astrology should not be used to diagnose illness. The only person who can diagnose illness is a
medical doctor. However, once a medical doctor has diagnoses a particular illness, the medical
astrologer may be able to ascertain from the birth chart the severity or duration of the illness.
Know Thy Medicine: Medical Astrology Handbook provides information on medical astrology
in a very simple way that the average man with no knowledge of astrology will be able to
comprehend easily.

Tips for the
Physician
27
_____________________________________________________________________________________
If the healer's thoughts are not pure, if his life is not clean, then his influence on the
patient is not good. Therefore it is most necessary that the healer LIVE THE LIFE of
purity, otherwise he can do more harm than good.
5. Do not perform an operation when the moon is in the sign which rules the part of the
body to be operated upon. Ptolemy says, "Pierce not with iron that part of the body
which may be governed by the sign actually occupied by the moon."
6. Do not operate when the sun is in the sign which rules the part of the body to be cut.
7. Disease related to the moon is of an acute nature and may change within twenty-eight
days, but when the disease is related to the sun, it is of a more chronic nature and likely
to be of longer duration and more stubborn in resisting treatment.

Astro-Health Tips
It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of
disease a person has.-Hippocrates (Father of Medicine)
Health- Your health is usually good thanks to your great energy and stamina.
Diet- Aries-born love fast and spicy food. They do not have time for long meals, because
they are constantly busy and on the move. Besides that, they do not want to lose time in
vain, so they have a bad habit to eat too fast. Since you use up a great deal of energy,
your food must be rich and energy-giving: proteins, meat, rice, pasta, dried fruits, etc.
Tip: Eat food slowly
Exercise- A short-term, intense regimen that grips your attention...at least until you get
sick of it. Or try a weight loss competition with a friend. You can't fathom coming in
second.
30
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Health- Your health is usually good, but the lack of physical exercise may prove
harmful.
Diet- Cancerians are famous for their culinary skills. They love homemade food,
prepared by their grandmother's recipe books. They always buy expensive, but quality
food and no one can resist their specialties. People born under this sign tend to eat
quickly and hate sharing their food. They do not care about their own health and often
will overeat, especially when they are nervous. Due to their sensitive stomach,
Cancerians often need to control their enormous appetite. On the other hand, they make
a great company at the table. They always inspire with stories about their specialties,
recipes and the origin of food.
Tip: Learn to control your appetite when you are nervous.
Exercise- The commitment type, Cancerians are able to find one sport/exercise and
commit to it for the long haul, while pushing yourself to the limit. Water sports and
being part of a team also appeal to you. Walking the dog is good; focusing on your abs is
also a good idea since Cancerians tend to gain weight around the midsection.
31
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Health- Your health is good thanks to your robustness which is above average, but your
energy is such that you need to watch out several areas.
Diet- Leos are fond of expensive food, made only from the finest ingredients. They use
every opportunity for a meal at luxury restaurant, which will contribute to feel like
royalty. They are very disciplined when it comes to nutrition and they have built good
eating habits. They often eat too fast, but never alone. They love when the table is filled
with familiar faces and beloved ones, since then they feel most pleasant. Leos do not
want to cook, but when they do, they are happy to see that their specialties brought
smiles on the faces of their loved ones.
Tip: Consume more fruit and vegetables and reduce meals that include meat.
Exercise- Leo governs sports and recreation, so sports and fitness come naturally to you.
Regular exercise is good for your circulation, but avoid overdoing it, especially in your
upper back. Exercising in public appeals greatly to you; just avoid watching yourself in
front of the mirror too much. Since you are a born leader, taking a class will probably
bore you since someone else is in charge; you often excel at being your own personal
trainer. Leos (especially men) are prone to heart attacks, so walking or jogging in the
fresh air strengthens your circulatory system, though you may get out of breath quickly.
Activities that work are Pilates, couples dancing, and any activity where you can show
off.
Health- Your health is good, particularly owing to your constant concern to improve
yourself and think before you leap and... eat! You always have in mind the balance of
your diet.
Diet- Virgos have too sensitive stomach, so they should be more careful what they eat.
Virgo is the only sign that can be on a diet, without ever succumbing to the temptation
to cheat. Slow metabolism is another problem for the Virgos, so they need to consume
foods that are easily digested. People born under this sign make magic in the kitchen.
They do not experiment with new products and spices, but no one can resist their
delicious dishes. Virgos are very thrifty, but not when it comes to food. The irresistible
taste is more important to them than the price. They hate to throw away food, even
when it comes to leftovers, so the mission to prepare something from nothing is always
successful.
Tip: Eat light and healthy food to avoid stomach discomfort.
Exercise- In general, Virgos like to stay fit; however, your interest probably comes more
from a desire to be clean and healthy than vanity. With seemingly endless energy, you
respond well to full body participation, so sports like cycling, football, and hockey hold
32
_____________________________________________________________________________________
your interest. You love to be outside, so keep that in mind; a smelly gym is not a good
idea. Set realistic goals to avoid disappointment, which will interfere with your
workout. You are usually very strong, so endurance sports also work well for you.
Health- Your health is good owing in particular to your constant concern to remain
beautiful, young, and attractive.
Diet- Libras are real food lovers. Every meal is a feast for them and they do not miss a
opportunity to try everything they have available - salad, appetizer, main course and
dessert. People born under this sign are dependent on chocolate and sweets, so they
would give up the main course rather than the sweet pleasure that comes at the end of
the meal.The aesthetic appearance of the food and table is especially important to the
Libra. They have excellent design skills and can make wonderful decorations. They love
good wine, especially red. If you want to surprise them, do not try with ordinary foods
such as pizza or omelet. Carefully select a fancy, gourmet restaurant that will satisfy
their refined taste.
Tip: Avoid eating too much chocolate if you want to maintain a good figure.
Exercise- Librans should focus on organized and gentle fitness optionsposh health
clubs appeal to you. Ice-skating and golf are options, but low-impact cardio and
stretching will quiet down your brain. Avoid heavy lifting or anything that could cause
stress to your lower back. You can be prone to fatigue or tiredness, so try to stay
motivated. Finding a gym buddy is a good idea, but dont get so carried away with
socializing that you forget the workout.
Health- Your health is very strong. However, owing to your tormented nature your
propensity to take risks, you are prone to numerous more or less severe accidents.
Diet- Scorpios love high calorie food and they often get hungry, even at night. An empty
refrigerator and the absence of spices can literally make them furious. They love spicy
food and are excellent cooks, because of their ability to skillfully combine them. Scorpios
cannot pretend when the food is not cooked according to their taste. They usually have
lean and slim body, just because they follow the principle of all or nothing. This means
that when they feel that they went too far, they will immediately start with dietary
restrictions.
Tip: Replace the alcohol with larger amounts of water and teas.
Exercise- Scorpios are intense, so involve yourself in strenuous, competitive, and serious
fitness activities with intense movement. Activities with spurts of extreme peaks and
heart-pounding cardio appeal to you, but try to avoid being too hard on yourself, as you
33

are prone to torn ligaments and other stress-induced injuries. Good activities are boxing,
martial arts, triathlons, and distance running; skip the yoga. Since you need a lot of
alone time, you will probably peddle or run faster when left alone. Have a focused cool
down period since you need to soothe your nerves after being challenged.
Health- Your health is very strong. During the first part of your life, your level of energy
is very high.
Diet- They love exotic, non-standard and spicy foods, cookies, cakes... Sagittarians are
curious, they love to experiment regularly and want to try everything. Their diet can
often go from one extreme to another. At one point they may behave like they are very
hungry and will greedily empty their plates, while at times they can starve for days.
Because of the propensity to over-eat and over-drink, people born under this sign often
suffer from digestive problems.
Tip: Regardless of what you eat, do not overdo the quantity
Exercise- The healthiest of all the signs, Sagittarians need plenty of exercise, preferably
outdoor activities. With your strong legs and thighs, skiing and biking are good options.
Focus on stretches that build flexibility in your hamstrings to avoid straining your back.
You can be accident-prone, so be careful when doing more extreme sports like skiing.
You should also make sure you breathe deeply during exercise. It helps if there is a point
to your workout; training for competitions is an excellent choice. Gyms are a good idea
and having a workout buddy will increase your motivation.
Health- Your health is more resistant than good, but it is enough to keep illnesses at bay
and to enable you to live to a ripe old age safe and sound.
Diet- Capricorns are tireless workers, but they always find time for a good meal. For
them, quality is always more important than quantity. The atmosphere while eating is
especially important to them - it needs to be relaxed and calm. They love attending
family dinners, and hate when someone tells them what to do. Capricorns are traditional
people, so they love homemade food. Therefore, when they choose to search for their life
companion, they do not forget to put cooking on the list of priority criteria. Although
they don't like spices, sometimes tend to exaggerate with salt.
Tip: Be careful when adding salt to the food. Salt is your worst enemy.
Exercise- Capricorns do not expect immediate satisfaction, so endurance is the name of
the game here. Since your sign governs the bones and joints, you need to move regularly
to avoid feeling stiff. Hiking and rock climbing appeal to the mountain goat in you and
also fill your need to challenge yourself. Jogging, walking, and cycling are good options
34

as well, especially in long duration. Just be careful of your knees and dont do anything
too high impact.
Health- Your health is very good because you are rather slim and mobile and not too
interested in food, which constitutes the very frequent cause of many problems.
Diet- Aquarians are not selfish when it comes to sharing food and often prefer lowcalorie meals. They know how to enjoy in everything that is new, strange and unusual.
People born under this sign are often vegetarians, due to their humanitarian nature. An
additional reason for their fondness for vegetarianism is that they love vegetables and
fruits, and would gladly replace the meat with a serving of fruit salad. While cooking,
which happens rarely, they hate to blindly follow the recipes and always make changes,
letting their creativity and imagination flow. The downside is that Aquarians can
sometimes exaggerate coffee and late-night eating.
Tip: Skip the meal in the late evening hours, and opt for a hearty and healthy breakfast.
Exercise- Aquarians dont like to feel restricted, so the more quirky the exercise, the
more likely it will appeal to you. Skydiving and extreme sports are a good fit, but
dancing also works well because of the freedom of movement. Training for long
distance running and triathlons is a good idea since you are out there on your own. Do
your best to avoid routineyou will get bored. Improving your circulation is key, so try
activities like running and swimming.
Health- Your health is quite frail because you are sheer sentimentality and your nature
is not too physical.
Diet- Pisceans are lovers of traditional food and they don't want to experiment. Pisceans
pay more attention to the look than the taste of food. People born under this sign will
appreciate more the good company on the table, than the meal in their plate. Food for
them is just a need, not a pleasure. Their downside is that they can often exaggerate
alcohol, which has negative effects on their health.
Tip: Drink plenty of water and learn to eat more slowly and to enjoy food.
Exercise- Your sign is not very sporty, so avoid strenuous activities. Options like yoga,
running and dance use fitness for finding balance and peace. Pisceans are prone to all
kinds of foot problemsbunions, breaks, even Athletes Foot. Water sports, especially
swimming and surfing, are ideal for you, as water is pretty much your natural habitat. A
true music lover, dancing and aerobics are a good activity, especially if there is a
promise of a hot sauna afterward

soul and personality better, we develop more control over ourselves and are better equipped to
meet the challenges we face. The astrological chart is the map of the soul and when we interpret

issues, friendship and spiritual mission.
