Elective Lunar Surgery
ON-DEMAND LECTURE
A Practical Medical Astrology Framework for Timing Surgery with Care, Clarity, and Real-World Awareness
Timing surgery astrologically is not about finding a perfect chart. It’s about understanding what matters most, what carries risk, and how to support the body, mind, and recovery process as realistically as possible.
In this lecture I present a grounded, contemporary approach to elective lunar surgery through the lens of medical (health) astrology — blending traditional principles with decades of clinical experience and modern healthcare realities.
This lecture moves beyond rigid rules and idealised charts to show how surgery timing actually works in practice: ethically, compassionately, and with respect for medical necessity.
In this 2-hour presentation, you’ll learn how surgery charts are assessed using:
- Lunar phases and Moon condition
- Planetary rulerships of the body
- Transits and natal chart considerations
- Event chart interpretation rather than prediction
There is particular emphasis on the Moon’s role in vitality, inflammation, swelling, healing, and recovery, and how lunar condition interacts with both the physical body and emotional state of the patient. I explain:
- Why the New Moon window is generally preferred
- Why Full Moons and eclipses are treated with caution
- How to interpret Moon sign placements in relation to the body part being operated on
- How to prioritise factors when timing options are limited
- Event chart interpretation rather than prediction

CASE STUDY EXAMPLES
To bring theory into lived experience, I walk you through real cases, including:
- IVF implantation timing, illustrating how astrology supports medical protocols rather than overrides them.
- A recent family surgery, demonstrating how astrology can be used for preparation and recovery support when timing choice is limited.
These examples highlight a core principle of this lecture: no surgery chart is ever perfect — and it doesn’t need to be.
Astrology works best as a tool for awareness, preparation, and informed support, not certainty or control.
