Relation of the Mineral Salts of the Body to the Signs of the Zodiac
Dr. George Washington Carey's 1932 work Relation of the Mineral Salts of the Body to the Signs of the Zodiac unites homeopathy and astrology to explain both the causes and cures of human disease. Dr. Carey's unique blend of chemistry, physiology, religion, and astrology has made him a popular writer in homeopathic circles since the early 20th century.
Dr. Carey's work was greatly influenced by the experiments of another contemporary doctor, Wilhelm Heinrich Schüßler. Dr. Schüßler was the first to identify the twelve "cell-salts," which Dr. Carey expounds on further in Relation of Mineral Salts.
Dr. Carey is perhaps best known for his "Chemistry of Life" publications, released in the 1910s. These works are still popular in New Age circles. In The Chemistry of Human Life (1919), Dr. Carey originated the idea that the human body is a "chemical formula in operation," and without each chemical in the correct amount, the formula will no longer create the desired effect - a healthy and vibrant person.
Relation of the Mineral Salts of the Body to the Signs of the Zodiac expands on this idea and ties these chemical needs to the Zodiac. Published posthumously in 1932, this work was co-written with Inez E. Perry. Dr. Carey collaborated with Ms. Perry several times before his death in 1924.
Relation is Dr. Carey's contribution to a larger two-part work titled The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation. In this short volume, Dr. Carey explains that all maladies are due to a deficiency in some necessary chemical, or "cell-salt." Just as the "cure" for a shadow is to introduce light, the cure for maladies of the human body is to introduce some vital element for the nourishing of our blood and organs.
But which cell-salts are we deficient in? That may well depend on the position of the sun at our birth - or our Zodiac signs. Dr. Carey describes the 12 signs of the Zodiac, including their characteristics and the cell-salts that he recommends to cure the diseases of each.
For example, those born between June 21st and July 22nd under the sign of Cancer exhibit "tenacity...in holding onto home or dwelling place." This is represented by the crab, who has both a tight grip and "carries its house along wherever it goes in order that it may be sure of a dwelling."
Dr. Carey identifies the salt fluoride of lime (or calcium fluoride) as the most important salt for the Cancer. When it is deficient, tissue fiber loses its elasticity. Symptoms of this relaxation can include varicose veins and interestingly, "a groundless fear of financial ruin."
There are Biblical connections explored as well. Dr. Carey associates both the twelve apostles and the twelve sons of Jacob and their respective tribes to an astrological sign. Jacob's tenth Zebulum, or Zebulun in many modern translations, represents Cancer. His name even translates to "dwelling" in Hebrew.
Dr. Carey was not the first to make the connection between the twelve sons of Jacob, twelve apostles of Christ, and the Zodiac. In fact, Rev. Robert Taylor may have been the first to make this connection in the mid-19th century in a series of controversial sermons. His ideas were so contentious that he was banned from preaching in the United Kingdom.

About the author
George Washington
1,559 books237 followersGeorge Washington was an American military leader, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first President of the United States. He is often referred to as the "Father of His Country" for the central role he played in the founding and early development of the nation.
Born into a family of Virginia planters, Washington grew up on the family's estates and received limited formal education. As a young man, he became a land surveyor, which provided him valuable knowledge of the American frontier. He began his military career in the Virginia militia during the French and Indian War, gaining experience that would later serve him during the American Revolution.
In 1775, with tensions between the American colonies and Great Britain reaching a breaking point, Washington was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army by the Second Continental Congress. Leading a force that was often underfunded, poorly equipped, and inexperienced, Washington faced a series of challenges. Despite suffering early defeats, he demonstrated resilience and strategic skill, securing important victories at Trenton and Princeton. His leadership at the Siege of Yorktown led to the surrender of British forces and ultimately secured American independence.
Following the Revolutionary War, Washington voluntarily resigned his commission and returned to private life at Mount Vernon, a move that reinforced the principle of civilian control of the military. However, the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation soon became evident, and Washington returned to public service as the presiding officer at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. His steady leadership helped facilitate the drafting and ratification of the United States Constitution.
Unanimously elected as the first President, Washington took office in 1789 and served two terms. During his presidency, he set many important precedents that would shape the role of the executive branch, including the creation of a Cabinet and the peaceful transfer of power. His leadership style emphasized unity and national identity at a time when political divisions threatened the stability of the new republic.
Washington's foreign policy was characterized by neutrality, particularly during the conflicts arising from the French Revolution. He promoted peaceful relations with foreign powers, most notably through the Jay Treaty with Great Britain. Domestically, he dealt with challenges such as the Whiskey Rebellion, asserting the authority of the federal government to maintain order.
Although a wealthy plantation owner who held enslaved people throughout his life, Washington's views on slavery evolved over time. In his will, he made arrangements to free the individuals he directly owned, setting a precedent among the Founding Fathers and reflecting his personal conflict over the institution.
After completing two terms, Washington declined to seek a third, emphasizing the importance of term limits and setting a lasting example. In his Farewell Address, he warned against the dangers of political factions and entanglements in foreign affairs, advice that influenced American political thought for generations.
George Washington's legacy endures in American culture, politics, and national identity. His name and image have been commemorated in countless ways, from the capital city of Washington, D.C., to monuments, currency, and public institutions. Admired for his leadership, character, and devotion to republican ideals, Washington remains one of the most respected figures in United States history.

Very short and to the point. The writing is very old fashioned and sometimes hard to follow. I found it interesting that the author felt the need to point out that others may find it odd that he correlates biochemistry and astrology. Whereas, I found the biblical quotes the odd part.
However, I am an aquarius and my main needed tissue salt is in fact nat mur. So there you go.
