I recently joined April on the Big Sky Astrology Podcast for a conversation about one of my favourite subjects: how we can look at health through the birth chart without making it scary or overly predictive.
Medical astrology gives us another way to understand the body, our constitution and the patterns that may become more important at different stages of life.
In this episode, we get into:
- The Ascendant and 1st House as the foundation of physical health
- The 6th House and acute illness, health habits and preventative care
- The 8th House, genetics and surgery
- The 12th House, chronic illness, hospitals, rest and convalescence
- What longer transits from planets such as Pluto and Neptune can bring to the Ascendant
- Menopause and some of the astrological cycles that can coincide with this stage of life
- Jupiter and the fine line between growth and excess
- Using your natal Mars to explore movement and exercise
- The mutable signs and their connections with the nervous and immune systems
We also talk about something I come back to again and again in my work: rest is part of health.
Sometimes the body needs time to properly recover rather than racing straight back into normal life.
It’s a wide-ranging conversation about using medical astrology practically, with curiosity rather than fear.
