Earlier we explained how astrology can influence our lives through horoscopes, natal and solar charts, but I wonder how many of us know about medical astrology.
Medical astrology represents a very important segment of astrology and it is the tool that people use to question their medical decisions and to know more about their illnesses and health condition. At a first look, it may look silly to check out through the stars instead of consulting your doctor, but you should know that medical astrology is very good positioned and it has a considerable percentage of accuracy.
Your doctor recommended you to do the surgery but you cannot figure this big decision by yourself? You are confronting some serious back pain and you thought about trying a different approach to your health condition? Perhaps you are dealing with an uncertain diagnosis and you really need some alternative advice?
If you are in one of these situations or in another complicated position, medical astrology can be the answer you are looking for. You will find out what is causing your health condition or what your best option is and even receive some medical advice regarding treatment options like plant remedies.
Medical astrology is used in elective surgery. In this case, the medical astrologer can help you pick up the best date and time to do the surgery. The main point of medical astrology is to offer indications and guidance under cosmic influences.
If you are considering this option, let me tell you a few important things about medical astrology.
The traditional term for medical astrology is iatromathematics. The iatromathematicians applied the laws of mathematics and mechanics, relying on cosmobiology, for a better understanding of the human body. One of the greatest contributors of medical astrology was Ibn Ezra, who wrote nine different astrological treatises, including in his work natal, medicinal, horary, mundane and electional subsections of astrology. His best known work is The beginning of Wisdom. Iatromathematicians associated stars, planets and zodiac signs with different parts of the body. Although the lack of applicability put iatromathematics as a pseudoscience, that only made it to strengthen and develop more.
Medical astrology was mentioned by Marcus Manilius (1st century AD) in his poem of 8000 verses Astronomica. Below are some relations between zodiac signs, planets and different parts of the body:
Zodiac signs-Human body
Aries -head, face, brain, eyes
Taurus –throat, neck, thyroid gland, vocal tract
Gemini –head, face, brain, eyes
Cancer –chest, breasts, stomach

The most common astrological methods used in medical astrology were natal transits and horary charts. The medical horary chart is known as a decumbiture chart. Because the terminology used in medical astrology is quite complex and diverse, the best way to understand a medical astrology consultation is to ask the astrologer to explain the chart in your own terms.
