Medical Astrology

The planets and the fixed stars are used in medical astrology. The fixed stars denote specific parts of the body, and are activated when in conjunction to the Sun, Moon or planets in the natal chart. The Sun, Moon and planets are using in two ways. Firstly, their positions in the natal chart denotes general areas, systems and functions of the body. Secondly, in both natal charts and in transit, the Sun, Moon and planets have a physiological effect on the natal positions.

It is also worth looking at the position of asteroid Hygeia in your natal chart and in transit. This asteroid of health made many conjunctions in my chart when I was battling cancer, each step of the way, from diagnosis to til the all-clear. At the end of this article there are some links to free online medical astrology astrology books.

  1. Outstanding piece of writing, Jamie! I have wanted to be able to see where the fixed stars fit in with regard to medical astrology for quite a while now…

    Thanks for your usual thoroughness in fleshing out the details… (Pardon the intentional pun!)

  2. Hmmm I am curious – Do you know what body parts are associated with Chiron?? 🙂 THANK YOU! This is awesome 🙂

  3. This is a very complete list of the fixed stars in relation to medical astrology and Mr. Partridge did an excellent job. I noticed that he has also listed some free books on the subject. I would like to recommend Encyclopaedia of Medical Astrology by H.L. Cornell, A.M., M.D., Ph.D. I have the third edition that I purchased many years ago from the AFA. It was first published in 1933, I believe. This book is not free, however, it is well worth the cost to anyone wishing to learn more about medical astrology. Several years ago, I researched the timing of childbirth and this book has been a go to resource since that time.

    • Thank you for the recommendation! Have been feeling drawn to medical astrology lately as a few friends are suffering from various types of depression and was wondering what might help. Also probably indeed it can help on rectification and birth time research as well as family patterns. I do not know yet though how to rectify charts, lots to learn still :). Astrology is so fascinating like an ocean.

      Btw I have a colleague at the Vancouver Fraser Valley Astrolotical guild whose book another colleague recommended to me but I did not get it yet (studying other things a lot now, later will get to it). In case it can be helpful it is called “Medical Astrology for Healing” by Thaya Edwards. I donno though it she mentions fixed stars there or not.

  4. Great article!! Love your website, thank you for sharing your knowledge! ????
    Only I did not understand the end about the body parts. How is it related to the fixed stars?

  5. Hello, thanks so much for this information. My understanding is that different cultures or cosmologies associate the planets & stars with different body parts. On which culture or astrology is this information based on? Thanks again and have a magical day.

    • Hi Laura. This is based on channeled information from this book: The Fixed Health and Behaviour Imbalances, Ted George and Barbara Parker, 1985.

  6. HI there Jamie, absolutely amazing content! Thank you for sharing this. Could it be that the last 2 links are not working correctly? They are referring to a different website? This website does not share these 2 pdf’s. Greetings Sylvia

  7. Amazing..I was thinking of Medical Astrology, and your work just appeared..fantastic informative information, thank you….may I ask, how can we surmise the best day, Astrology wise, to receive either a flu shot, or even the Booster, my thanks…

  8. Morning Jamie. I’ve been contemplating the anatomy in regards of Fomalhaut lately you sure it’s the right-heel and not the left?

  10. “VENUS rules the thymus gland, testes and ovaries.. ”

    It’s very hot, I’m resting late evening, 5 Sept. A bee enters an open window, stings my testes.

    “Bee stings have a variety of meanings, and many of them are signs of good things to come. So if this happens to you, take some time to reflect and be optimistic!” Mila Day

        medical astrology: O9 CAN, star Alhena, 1 inch to the right of the breastbone

        https://astrologyking.com/alhena-star/

        quotes

        Often called Bright Foot of Gemini. According to Bullinger it means “hurt, wounded or afflicted”, and it has been called “the wound in the tendon Achilles.” [1]

        The bright star Alhena is of the nature of Venus. it is said to give eminence in art. [2]

        From a combination of Alhena’s placing in its Constellation and in Sign, (Cancer), and the Ptolemaic simile for it, it is not hard to guess that this star should show up our artistic skills, especially with the written or spoken word, and abilities to negotiate a peaceful solution to disputes among people. And so indeed it does. We get to the roots of problems and move matters forward from there, and gaining ‘identity’, distinction, that is, for our efforts.
