A complete detailed guide to ancient and classical medical astrology. Includes diagnosis, surgery dates, onset patterns, antidotes, death transits, the four elements and the three modes, effects of planets and lunar nodes in all signs. The Planetary Health Chart and nine key points of health assessment. Few books ever written in this field are as useful to the student.
The fruits of the Seattle theosophical society book sale were plentiful tho unfortunately I don’t think the meager astrological knowledge I picked up via tumblr osmosis prepared me enough for this text. I kinda felt like I was reading Hegel. I liked learning that I’m especially susceptible to electromagnetic fields and extreme computer addiction due to my natal chart. Hmmm….btw read this for FUN lest I am struck from the heavens for commiting shirk
Very nice book when you already have an understanding of Astrology (so not for beginners). I found it a bit lacking in ways 'to cure yourself', but I think it is not within the scope of this book. The book is very clear in showing which bodypart is ruled by which sign and how the planetairy energies influences these bodyparts. As a practicioner of psychological Astrology this book gave new dimensions and meaning to the planets and signs. I see this book as opening a new door: there is a whole new wold behind it to explore. In that sense this book is more of an introduction to medical astrology.
The content in this book is life changing and brilliant, but the execution is a dumpster fire.
Paragraphs that randomly end. Whole paragraphs consisting of gobbeldigook symbols making no sense at all. No attempt has been made to include the very important symbols of the planets and signs, and there are no charts available. Very annoyed that I wasted money on this piss poor effort.
Very short, but still a lot of good info. I wonder if Judith would change anything in this book from the time it was written (while Pluto was in Sagittarius.) Nonetheless, I think enough of it holds up.
