Twenty years ago, I started my study in Medical Astrology. I was working in a hospital pathology department where we prepared autopsy results for a review board. I was always puzzled at our diagnosis, which were often significantly different from that of the attending physician who had outline extensive treatments. Then, Linda Goodman’s book of astrology, SUN SIGNS found its way into my hands, and it forever changed the way I viewed disease.

Having access to a hospital full of patients, I began to check birth dates and quickly saw a correlation between their signs, personality types and the illnesses that these people suffered from. I, then, began to realize that traditional medicine was missing, an extremely important factor in health––the personality.

Astrology provides a map to interpret the belief systems and energy patterns present at the time of birth and the interacting environment into which the soul is born.

The power of the mind is such that it creates the events and experiences of our life based on the beliefs we hold about who we are and what our life should be. Because astrology profiles the individual’s mental, emotional, and physical natures at birth, astrology can be used to determine what organ systems are constricted or subject to spasms and weaknesses, what energy patters are operating, and which energy flows are blocked, and more importantly, what belief is behind the illness or repeating behavior patterns.

Illness is the soul’s way of providing clues as to the underlying issues keeping the soul from growth. A belief structure is directly related to the physical ailment.

Health is a state of maintained equilibrium. If energy flows are disproportional, the body will respond with disease. Disease is the body’s way of telling you to wake up, focus on your physical, mental and emotional well-being, and take time to seek healing. When we learn to love our health problems and realize they are giving us valuable clues to the state of our consciousness (and subsequently to our evolutionary path), we can take the necessary steps to change the conditions manifesting in our lives and move further up the evolutionary ladder.

With this information, I began to explore alternative avenues of healing, using myself as a guinea pig. I soon realized it is not enough to treat the physical body, because disease patterns such as cysts, tumors, and ulcers can and do return. Symptoms express underlying disturbed energy patterns; and illness repeated is an indication of symptoms suppressed, rather than cured. I realized that I would have to be deal with my health issues or be stuck with just treating symptoms, rather than causes, my whole life.

If we do not understand why we respond over and over with the same reactions, repeatedly allowing certain situations and/or people to upset us, we are compelled to reenact the same behavior patterns until they inevitably manifest symptoms in our physical body. To stop the addictive patterns, we must understand the beliefs which perpetuate the addictive behavior.

To demonstrate, here is a short overview of possible health problems/emotional issues for each sign. These analyses are based on Sun Sign astrology only; but remember, there are many more factors to a complete health analysis.

Being an Aquarian, I wanted to find freedom in my health life, as well as my personal life. I discovered homeopathy. It was the only discipline that prescribed based on the complete picture: the mental, emotional and physical nature of the individual. This worked with my personal discovery regarding astrology and healing. (I also use Catherine Ponder’s Science of the Mind philosophy, which seems to reach the subconscious mind).

Several years ago, I read the SETH material, as channeled by Jane Roberts, which changed my concept of my life and subsequently, my use of astrology. Seth says we create our reality based on our belief structures, and more often than not, the experiences we have are not supportive of our soul growth. I began to look at the chart as a map of our beliefs. This map, with what I already knew of the body, helped me understand how energy works in the body.

It works like this: as we are energy beings, the energy flows through us via the central channel, through the spinal cord, and meets the energy flowing through the kundalini, or energy source centers. The two energies meet and create vortexes of energies called chakras. There are seven chakras in the body, each one associated with organs, nerves and emotions. When we have belief structures not allowing us to grow, the energy gets stuck at one or more of these chakras and a disease ensues.

I then discuss with the client the root of these energy blocks by analyzing the belief structures causing them. We look at the client’s childhood and its attendant situation. In terms of reincarnation, a person chooses the parents and situation to be born in to, further their evolution and work our karmic patterns. Because of this there is no need to "blame your parents" for the problems or situation remember, they are working things out for themselves, but instead to become responsible for your reality as you created it based on your belief structures. One has to look at why you chose this life to see what you were meant to learn from it. Only by being aware enough to accept responsibility can you truly grow and evolve.
