Introduction
Albert Einstein said: “Astrology is a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of knowledge. It taught me many things and I am greatly indebted to it.”
Medical Astrology is the part of astrology that deals with the functioning of the human body. A competent medical astrologer can analyze a person's birth chart and determine bodily strengths and weaknesses and proneness to various disease states. In the event of illness or disease, a medical astrologer will use predictive methods to try to determine the severity and duration of the disease.
Medical astrology is also helpful in elective surgery. The medical astrologer can pick the best date(s) and time(s) for an elective procedure. Needless to say, one should not try to use elective astrology in a medical emergency.
Medical astrology should not be used to diagnose illness. The only person who can diagnose illness is a medical doctor. However, once a medical doctor has diagnoses a particular illness, the medical astrologer may be able to ascertain from the birth chart the severity or duration of the illness.
