Written for astrologers and healers, this book offers a comprehensive approach to the subject of medical astrology. For illustration purposes, the author uses the charts of patients from her healing practice, as well those of celebrities. Concepts such as lunar days, Pars of Disease and Health, fixed stars in medical astrology, the influence of Black Moon and a little-known planet-Proserpina-are introduced. By following the guidance this book offers, readers will be able to understand how the human body works from an astrological point of view, how to direct every zodiacal sign toward healthier life choices, and how to prepare and read a medical chart. A detailed list of astrological patterns is provided for the diagnosis of illness, and a great deal of attention is given to preventive measures and the use of herbs and energy healing. Herbalists will also find this book helpful because it shows how to increase the healing power of plants through the application of optimal hours and planetary cycles. | Medical Astrology for Healing by Thaya Edwards, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
