Health
and Wellbeing Report
Introduction
Medical
astrology is a complex branch of the astrologer's art. Many factors need to be
taken into account when considering the overall health of the individual.
This
report aims to give you a picture of some of the astrological indicators in the
horoscope that correspond with your health and wellbeing.
The
information in this report includes an assessment of your natal chart
specifically focussing on health related matters. It
includes a range of nutritional advice, stress management tips and therapy
options. However, it is not intended that this report be used in place of a
consultation with a qualified medical practitioner, nor persons qualified in
complementary or alternative healing. It is vital to always seek out
professional medical and nutritional advice where one's health is concerned.
This
report aims to provide you with some useful tips about physical health matters
and also about mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. This information is
based on the author's own knowledge obtained over more than 25 years as an
astrologer and healer as well as additional research she has undertaken. The
main focus of this report is to point out the astrological indicators that can
manifest as health problems, or imbalances, and to suggest possible causes
and/or treatments that might be of benefit.
If
a particular theme appears to come up more than once in several different
sections, it is worthy of special attention. Likewise, if there seems to be
contradictions between some sections, this doesn't necessarily mean that they
cancel each other out; both are probably applicable at different times, or
under different circumstances.
In
reading this report, please take into account that some factors are more
powerful and obvious than others. For example, the Sun, the Moon, the Ascendant
and any planets in the 1st House, should probably be given more weight in the
overall interpretation, than say, aspects to the 6th house, or Chiron's
position.
Be
aware too, that our natal chart is not a static thing. It is a symbolic
representation of our potential, which unfolds and develops as we journey
through life.
Disclaimer
Essential
oils should not be used full strength and never swallowed. They should be
diluted with water, or suitable carrier oil such as almond oil, before use. Do
your own research before using essential oils. Certain oils are not recommended
for some conditions and some can be harmful and/or toxic. There are a number of
contra-indicators to be aware of when using essential oils. Some people are
sensitive to particular oils, although the pure, top quality oils are less
likely to result in allergic reactions. The author takes no responsibility for
any adverse reactions caused.
The
information in this report is offered as a guide to health. The author takes no
responsibility for the specific use or application of information presented
here, nor for any unwanted effects encountered, nor any effects encountered by
not seeking medical advice. Do not attempt self-treatment for serious health
conditions.
Your
Basic Health Needs
Your General Temperament
The
overall balance of elements and modes is connected with our general attitudes
and perspective and shows whether our values, point of view and style of
expression are particularly focussed towards certain
qualities and tendencies of temperament, or whether there is some
under-emphasis of certain qualities. The balance of elements and modes also
relates to one's overall constitution. Where there is too much, or too little,
of any element or mode, there can be a corresponding imbalance that we
consciously need to address, in order to bring about emotional, spiritual,
mental and physical healing.
Element
Fire is Weak
You
may have a weaker constitution than most and may lack energy, enthusiasm or
vitality. You can benefit from including spicy food and blood-stimulating food
in your diet. The colour red can help to speed up
your metabolism, this includes eating red foods,
wearing red clothing and other forms of colour
therapy. Your system can also benefit from regular vitamin and mineral
supplements. If you make an effort to exercise more, your circulation and
energy levels will actually increase, but go at your own pace. Positive
thinking can also enhance you your motivation.
Element
Water is Strong
Your
emotional wellbeing plays a vital role in your overall health. Try not to head
for food or alcohol when you are under emotional stress. When you are not
feeling supported and nurtured, you can be prone to depression and weight gain.
Finding ways and means to establish harmonious relationships and supportive connections
is important for you. So too is having an outlet for your highly developed
imagination. With an abundance of water, you are a sensitive person and you can
be prone to drink too much alcohol, or to seek solace in drugs. Try to face up
to the reality of your situation without fear. Too much water can also be
associated with mental illnesses and emotional disorders. Grounding earthy colours and activities can make a real difference. Learning
how to handle your responsibilities by undertaking practical training can also
help you as having a strong framework or structure can help you recognise your boundaries. When you are feeling positive
about yourself and your world, you are a caring and nurturing person who can
contribute substantially to the wellbeing of others. When you are feeling down,
try to talk things through with someone close. Try to remember that you are
loved, no matter what. Bright, happy colours such as
red, orange and bright yellow can uplift your spirits.
Mode
Mutable is Strong
Mutable
energy is associated with communication and change. With an excess of mutable
energy, you are highly adaptable. Because of these flexible qualities, you
generally cope with stress much better than either strongly cardinal or highly
fixed types, but at the same time you are prone to picking up infections and
passing viruses. When you are stressed, it mainly comes from an inner state of
worry, boredom, and a lack of purpose or meaning, or from trying to do too much
at once. These are things you can change by altering your attitude. Your energy
can be a bit scattered and although you are highly versatile, you may need to
develop a little more consistency, which can help to stabilise
your inherently restless nature.
Your
Emotional Health
The
Moon symbolises our capacity to give and receive
nurturing. Our feelings, emotions and personal inner life all relate to the
Moon, as does food and nutrition. Our emotional wellbeing often relates to
inherited patterns of behaviour from our parents
and/or defence mechanisms that we learnt in
childhood. The sign in which the Moon is located will describe the way in which
our need for nurturing and emotional security is sought and met. As adults, we
still have a child within us that continues to seek comfort and protection.
The
Moon is in Libra
Your
emotional wellbeing comes primarily from human relationships of all kinds. You
may not cope well with being on your own. Sometimes you are too dependent on
others and can fall into the pattern of agreeing with others when you really do
not want to. Your peace-loving and highly charming personality naturally shines
forth, so you do not have to bend over backwards to make a good impression;
indeed doing so can be counter-productive because it can appear to others that
you are being dishonest as to your motives. Mostly, personal relationships are
enormously satisfying to you and although you tend not to forge deeply intense
emotional connections, you shine in social situations and enjoy networking
which also brings you warm feelings of emotional wellbeing and comfort. When
relationships falter, this can cause you a great deal of emotional pain and
stress, so try to honour yourself more and recognise that your worth as a person is not dependent on
the opinions of others.
Your
Vitality and Wellbeing
Your
Spiritual Essence
The
Sun plays a vital role in matters of health. The Sun governs physical stamina
and vitality. We get Vitamin D directly from the Sun, and a lack of exposure to
sunshine can lead to a host of illnesses including seasonal depression,
especially for those who live in extreme latitudes.
The
Sun sign will often describe our manner of self-expression. It can also reveal
information about our physical type and the kinds of ailments that can affect
us, including parts of the body that are affected by stress and genetically
inherited conditions.
The
Sun sign represents the essence of who we are. It is largely associated with
our sense of identity. As we move through life and learn more about ourselves,
we tend to become more like our Sun sign.
Early
in life, the Sun sign is more likely to express itself as ego. Later in life,
as we come to know ourselves, our self-expression becomes more developed.
Jung's concept of the 'Self' is also associated with the Sun sign, which begins
to emerge as we develop and mature. As we move through life, we move away from
purely ego expression, towards a more comprehensive style of self-expression.
Stress
can manifest according to the sign in which the Sun is placed and this can
affect our wellbeing and health. For example, when our ego
expression is thwarted, if we lack confidence, or are fearful about expressing
ourselves.
As
we get to know ourselves and develop more fully, we become more conscious and
aware, so our Sun sign shines ever more brightly.
The
Sun is in Pisces
You
are a sensitive and highly creative person. Sometimes you find it difficult to
cope with the stress of daily living and the way the world is structured. You
may want to escape from the harsh realities you see around you.
It
is important that you embrace a meaningful life philosophy that will bring you
a sense of purpose and fulfilment. Feeling isolated
or alone, or wanting to escape can lead you to indulge in alcohol or drugs,
which numbs your pain, but this is a short-term fix and not a healthy option to
follow. You are probably very sensitive to drugs and alcohol and you can easily
develop addictions.
It
is important for you to foster a feeling of belonging, which will enhance your
sense of wellbeing. Role-playing, art therapy, Reiki, meditation, reflexology
and spiritual healing are some possible avenues to explore when you feel lost
or uncertain of yourself. Find an outlet for your imagination and express
yourself creatively. Let your dreams and ideals guide you. You are most likely
quite gifted in the arts. Doing something practical with your talents can be
healing too.
Swimming
and water sports, fishing, or just living near the water, will replenish your
soul, as will music and art. Developing a set of personal values and sticking
to them will help ground you. This will limit negative influences from
affecting you in ways that are detrimental to your wellbeing. You are a
sensitive soul who understands a great deal. Forging an
identity by embracing the arts, or spiritual concepts, will alleviate any
tendency to escape into substance abuse, or other self-destructive habits that
can impact on your health. You may be especially sensitive to certain
foods, chemicals or drugs. Pay attention to what you are putting into your
body.
Treat
yourself now and again to an aromatherapy footbath or massage. For Athlete's
Foot try a blend of Eucalyptus, Lavender, Tea Tree and Thyme. To alleviate
depression try a massage with Neroli, Clary Sage,
Sandalwood, Bergamot or Ylang Ylang.
To soothe feelings of confusion, try Lemon or
Your Vitality - The Life Force
The
position of the Sun has a great deal to say about one's overall constitution,
vitality and health. The house in which the Sun is placed corresponds directly
with the time of day that you were born. Generally speaking, a person born
during the day is thought to have a more powerful and dynamic solar energy and
to be more extraverted and direct in their manner of self-expression, than
someone born during the night, when the individual is thought to have a more
subtle or refined expression, and to be capable of more introspection.
If
you were born at sunrise, or in the middle of the day, the Sun is at its
greatest strength and your solar forces are very powerful. As well as the house
in which the Sun is placed, consider the Sun's sign and the aspects it makes to
other planets, all of which will provide more clues to the overall picture of
health. As well as vitality and energy, the Sun governs one's identity,
creativity and self-expression. Without the Sun there is no life. Therefore,
the relative position of the Sun says a great deal about the type of energy and
life force that we possess.
The
Sun is in the 6th House
You
are a very hard worker and like to do everything to the best of your ability.
Your self-identity is largely determined by your work or job. You may be prone
to digestive complaints or assimilation disorders, metabolic problems, or
burnout, especially if you feel unhappy in your occupation, or daily routine.
Also make sure you watch what you eat, as you may be sensitive to particular
foods. Most importantly, find an enjoyable job and change your routine once in
a while, which will have an enormously positive effect on your wellbeing.
Your
attitude has a large bearing on your overall health and happiness. You often
worry about your health and have a tendency towards hypochondria. As you learn
to go with the flow of life and discover more about yourself, you will find
that you can stop trying to be perfect and just enjoy living. This will improve
your general outlook and health. You were born just after sunset, when the
Sun's rays are beginning to retreat at dusk, signifying that you are highly
analytical and trying to make sense of your experiences. For this reason, you
need to spend time alone on a regular basis, but don't isolate yourself too
much from others. You set very high standards for yourself and like to be
self-sufficient, but you can be overly focussed on
attaining perfection, which you never reach. Try not to put yourself under so
much pressure. Learn to laugh more and make time to relax away from work. Try
yoga, golf, Tai Chi or bushwalking.
Managing
the Physical Demands of Living
When
challenging relationships are formed between the Sun and other planets, this
can relate to internal and external stress factors that can lead to health
problems, if ways are not found to balance their energies. The Sun is a vital
component of life and vitality. These aspects can be potent indicators of one's
overall health and wellbeing.
Magnesium,
Iodine, Vitamin A and Vitamin D are ruled by the Sun. A deficiency or incorrect
assimilation of any of these minerals and vitamins can be the cause of health
problems when there are difficult aspects involving the Sun.
Also
consider those vitamins and minerals that are associated with the planet
involved in the challenging aspect with the Sun, for this too may provide clues
as to potential deficiencies, that when brought into balance, can aid healing.
These
challenging aspects involving the Sun can also symbolise
aspects of our internal psychology that we need to integrate, so that they flow
with more ease and work for us, rather than fighting with them, for we are
really only fighting with ourselves.
Mercury
is Conjunct The Sun
It
is possible that you might have some health problems with the various tubes of
the body, such as bronchial tubes, sinuses or inner ear. Intestinal problems or
digestive complaints are also possible, as are disorders of the nervous system.
Both respiratory conditions and digestive complaints may be associated with an
underlying allergic response to certain foods, or air-borne substances such as
pollen or dust. Some of these symptoms may be brought on by too little thiamine
(B1) in your diet. Thiamine deficiency can also result in nervous complaints
and even nerve damage. You may find it difficult to switch off your mind and
rest. Communication problems are also possible with this combination such as
learning difficulties or dyslexia, but most of the health problems that involve
Mercury are temporary and can be effectively addressed. Ensure that you get
plenty of B-group vitamins.
Mars
is Conjunct The Sun
You
are a highly dynamic person and tend to expend a great deal of energy in all
you do. You are probably quite driven and very active. You may take risks and
enjoy experiencing adrenaline highs that come with adventure. Accidents are
possible, including possible broken bones and head injuries, particularly if
you are given to be too hasty or impatient.
It
is vital to ensure you have enough stores of physical energy to call upon.
Iron, Cobalt, Chlorine, Folic Acid, Molybdenum, Selenium, Phosphorus, Sodium,
Fatty Acids and Vitamin B12 are associated with energy and vitality. If your
energy wanes it is important to investigate any potential deficiency of these
minerals and vitamins. Magnesium and Iodine and Vitamin D are also vital. You
sometimes tend to overdo things and push yourself to the absolute limit. As a
result you are open to a range of potential problems such as cardiovascular
ailments, high blood pressure, inflammation, acid-alkaline imbalance, headaches,
migraines and fevers, or blood disorders such as anaemia,
from too little iron. Vitamin and mineral supplements can assist, but also try
to eat the correct foods and don't go overboard with alcohol.
Because
you are dynamic and driven, you can also be explosive at times and anger can be
the root cause of some of these conditions. Anger management can go a long way
towards a return to health. Calming, soothing and relaxing activities are
probably something you don't have time for, but they are necessary and vital to
your overall wellbeing.
Stress
can manifest in other ways too. Adrenal exhaustion, sexual problems, and
chronic fatigue can occur. But all these conditions are more likely if you
ignore symptoms and continue to overdo things when you should rest and
recuperate.
Pluto
is Conjunct The Sun
You
are both strong and also sensitive, yet you tend to hide your sensitivity from
others. You can cope with an enormous amount of stress, but actually the
effects of stress can build up internally and have a cumulative effect that
only becomes apparent at a later time. A range of potential health problems can
come your way as a result of stress build-up, so effective management of stress
is quite vital for you. Health problems can include thyroid conditions, which
could develop because of a lack of iodine, or there may be muscular conditions
related to a magnesium deficiency. You could also experience health issues
involving the reproductive organs and genetically inherited conditions could
also be part of your experience. Mental illnesses such as depression, bi-polar
disorder, schizophrenia, and other similar conditions are also possible, and even life-threatening diseases. It could be
that a close family member is the person who encounters some of these problems,
rather than yourself, nevertheless these encounters will have a profound effect
upon your own psychology. Some of this might sound bleak, but no matter what
comes you way in life, you possess a powerful will and a strong determination
to overcome any challenges, and that includes serious illness. You are a
survivor. You recognise that your attitude goes a
long way towards healing. You may be transformed in some way by your
experiences and your life can be a series of endings and beginnings. Do not
fear this process. Nor should you fear your own powerful psyche, which is
capable of incredible achievements. Your strength and your sensitivity can work
together. Healing techniques such as psychotherapy and associated treatments
can be most beneficial for you.
Your Health Factors
Your
Physical Body and Energy
The
Ascendant is one of the most important factors to consider in determining one's
overall health. The sign on the Ascendant governs the physical body and one's
immediate environment. It represents the interface between spirit and matter.
The Ascendant often describes our physical appearance and the way we interact
with others. The rising sign is usually quite obvious; often more so than the
Sun sign. The concept of the "persona" is thought to be associated
with the Ascendant. This is the "mask" we wear,
or the face that we show to the world and therefore the Ascendant sign
corresponds to characteristics that are immediately apparent. The sign on the
Ascendant also describes areas of the body where we might feel the effects of
any stress that we encounter in our interaction with the world around us. The
Ascendant will often describe those health conditions that manifest as a result
of short-term stress. This area of the horoscope corresponds with acute health
conditions and the stress we encounter when we are trying to fit in, or trying
to put our best side forward, to the detriment of our true nature.
The
Ascendant is in Virgo
You
tend to be a perfectionist. You are highly knowledgeable about health matters
and perhaps have a deep interest in healing. Most likely you are aware of the
need to eat well and exercise regularly. But at times you can be too intent on
these matters, perhaps you desire to have a perfect body, or are overly focussed on germs, cleanliness or illness,
you may also be prone to hypochondria. It is important for you to have an
ordered environment and you are very good at being disciplined with diet and
exercise. At times you can take things too far. This can result in eating
disorders and poor self-image. Your tendency to worry can lead to stress
related problems such as obsessive-compulsive disorders, digestive problems,
food allergies, constipation, diarrhoea, hay fever, hypoglycaemia or diabetes, and a range of other conditions.
Let
go of trying to be perfect and try to change your scenery once in a while. You
may worry unnecessarily about your health. What underpins this concern is
perhaps a deep-seated fear and dislike for being dependent on anyone.
Self-sufficiency is a noble ideal, but again, you can sometimes take this to
extremes. Worry and stress can produce its own symptoms. Learning to relax is
important for you. Yoga or meditation may be helpful. Don't take things too far
in your quest for physical perfection. Perfection doesn't mean working yourself
into the ground.
You
are happy in your own company most of the time and can get stressed by the
imperfections you encounter in others, or in the world around you. Learning to
relax and worrying less will make you happier and healthier.
Aromatherapy
oils useful for relaxation and to reduce anxiety and tension include: Lavender,
Lemongrass, Cedarwood, Camomile
and Basil. Herbs and oils to heal digestive upsets, to which you are sometimes
prone, include Fennel and Peppermint. For colds, flu and sinus complaints try
Eucalyptus, Tea Tree or Peppermint chest rubs and inhalation.
Your
Strengths and Sensitivities
The
first house and the Ascendant are associated with the physical body. The
Ascendant is the place of interface between the physical and spiritual realms.
The
Ascendant also describes one's immediate environment and general physical type.
Planets in the first house and in particular those that are in conjunction with
the Ascendant, are considered to be very strong. These planets tell us
something more about our physical appearance, vitality and manner of
expression.
Any
planets that make a conjunction to the Ascendant are especially powerful. These
planets and any that are located in the first house should be taken into
consideration when assessing your physical attributes and health.
Planets
located here represent energies that are generally operating very consciously
and their qualities are usually quite apparent to others too.
These
planets will modify the expression of the Ascendant sign, and in some cases may
seem to contradict it, but taken together you will probably strongly identify
with both the Ascendant sign and any planets in the first house.
The
Moon is in the 1st House
You
are a sensitive and highly aware individual. This sensitivity applies to
certain foods, chemicals and/or drugs and it is important that you find a way
to protect yourself from taking on the psychic content of others, which can
actually make you unwell. Expressing your feelings is important for you and
doing so will help you maintain optimum health. On the other hand, bottling up
your emotions will likely make you sick. If you can't get things off your chest
directly, then try writing them down, you will soon feel better. You might be
prone to psychosomatic illnesses, which are more likely when you are feeling
emotionally out of sorts and cannot pinpoint the exact reason for any feelings
of unease. Wearing moonstone can help to balance your hormonal levels.
Your
intuition and imagination are highly developed, so it is important you heed
your instincts, especially during times of stress. Rest when you feel the need
to. From time to time you may need to withdraw from the world in order to
recuperate. You may find that you are a gifted healer and might be particularly
helpful with children, or in healing those with mood disorders or psychological
problems.
You
may reach for food when you feel upset, in an attempt to fill yourself up
emotionally. As a result you can be prone to weight-gain caused by oedema, or simply eating too much. Try to eat sensibly.
Include fresh fruit and vegetables every day. Drink plenty of water and don't
eat too much salt. Apple cider vinegar is a good source of potassium and can
greatly assist when there is too much sodium in your system. It is also an appetite
suppressant. Ensure you get enough B-group vitamins, which will assist your
physical system to process emotional and psychic content.
Inner
Needs and Outer Experiences - Finding Balance
When
certain planets and the Ascendant are at odds with one another, we can
experience inner tension and challenges that can feel as if we are being pulled
in two directions at once. The Ascendant is that part of us that interfaces
with our immediate environment, so when planets are in hard aspect to the
Ascendant, we can encounter challenges as we try to express ourselves in the
wider world. We can also experience issues that arise because there are
differences between what we want to express and what we think is expected of
us. Stress can build up over time if there is no outlet for self-expression, so
these aspects can be potent indicators of one's overall health and wellbeing.
As we learn to work with some of these challenges, they can actually help us to
grow and to lead more purposeful lives.
Dispositor of The
Ascendant (Mercury) is Conjunct The Sun
Your
energy and vitality are strong and you strive to do your best. In all your
activities and in your creative and self-expression you enjoy competition, in
its many forms. In exercise and sport you also like to challenge yourself to do
better. You strive for the highest standards in many areas of life and are
usually confident that you can overcome any illnesses or setbacks that you
encounter, but sometimes you can over-estimate your capacity to cope.
Cardiovascular illnesses, circulation or back problems can develop if you push
yourself too far, without taking into account the actual circumstances in which
you find yourself. You have a powerful constitution, but stress can take its
toll on your health if you think you are invincible and if you ignore
limitations or practical considerations. Although you are very strong, you are
not super-human. You may need to develop more perspective and find a healthy
balance between activity and rest. Wearing Tiger-Eye crystal can assist you to
express your passions in practical and sustaining ways.

are given to behaving in very spontaneous and changeable ways according to the
whims of the moment and the people and circumstances in which you find
yourself. You can be an extravert and also an introvert. You are highly
adaptable and cope pretty well with the stresses of daily life,
however you may be prone to catching viruses, colds and flu, gastric problems,
or ingesting substances that have a detrimental effect. You may also experience
accidents from a tendency to rush without enough forethought. Both respiratory
conditions and digestive complaints may be associated with an underlying
allergic response to certain foods or air-borne substances such as pollen or
dust. Some of these symptoms may be brought on by too little thiamine (B1).
Thiamine deficiency can also result in nervous complaints and even nerve
damage. Communication problems such as stuttering or autism may also be related
to this aspect. You are highly capable and intelligent, but you are inclined to
take on too much, perhaps because of a need to show others how efficient or
clever you are. Try to keep an open mind as you learn from your experiences.
As
you move through life you will likely grow out of most of these problems and
develop a strong mind and a powerful way of expressing your opinions and ideas,
without having anything to prove. Ensure you get enough B-Group vitamins,
especially during times of stress.
Venus
is Opposite The Ascendant
You
strive to develop close intimate relationships. Despite any setbacks you
encounter in your dealings with people, you are still determined to find and
establish supportive ties. You will make every effort to work at your personal
relationships. However, as your values are important to you, you may be
unwilling to compromise those priorities and values that are closest to your
heart, just so a relationship can work. Once you establish your priorities, you
stick to them, and you can sometimes be judgemental
of those who see things differently. You may need to recognise
your inner worth and that others' values have equal
merit.
When
things get out of balance in your life you can experience a range of conditions
such as possible sugar problems, thyroid conditions, kidney problems, potential
Vitamin E deficiency, eating disorders, weight gain/loss, or issues involving
self-esteem. A lack of B3 can result in skin problems such as dermatitis and
even mental disturbances. Ensure you get plenty of Vitamin B and E in your
diet, which will assist during times of stress. You are probably highly
creative and may possess artistic skills. Using these talents on a regular
basis will be healing to your soul and fulfilling in other ways as well.
Finding
a way to express yourself in accordance with your true values, while at the
same time maintaining supportive and harmonious relationships, is one of your
main challenges. Wearing Rose Quartz can assist in enhancing feelings of
unconditional love, both giving and receiving.
Dispositor of The
Ascendant (Mercury) is Conjunct Mars
You
are a fighter. You will stand up for your rights and for injustice and can be a
powerful advocate for getting issues heard. Your competitive nature means you are
capable of putting a great deal of energy into issues and causes that are close
to your heart. This is a positive way to express your inner passions and you
will discover it is also more worthwhile than simply focussing
on expressing your ego, competing to attain personal goals, or having your own
desires met. You generally have a great deal of energy and passion that fuels
your body and mind, but try to ensure that you do not overdo things. Get plenty
of vitamins and minerals, especially B12 and Iron and also try to make time to
relax.
Taking
things too far can result in cardiovascular ailments, high blood pressure,
inflammatory conditions, problems with the adrenal
glands, headaches, migraines and fevers. Anger can be the root cause of these
problems. Anger management can go a long way towards a return to health. You
may have sudden outbursts from time to time. Although these are usually short
lived, they can have a dramatic impact on your relationships and your life in
general. Swallowing your anger won't work either because repressed hostility
can also lead to disease. Channel your energy and any feelings of frustration
into sport, exercise, or make efforts to affect positive changes in the world
around you.
Dispositor of The
Ascendant (Mercury) is Semisquare Chiron
You
are a sensitive and caring soul who can easily be wounded. You may be subjected
to an illness or psychological wound that could have a profound impact on you
physically and/or emotionally. As you move through life you will come to realise that you possess a unique gift for healing, indeed
a profession in the healing area would ideally suit your temperament. You are
wise beyond your years. Listen to and honour your
inner self. You may find that you are put into situations that are painful and
through this suffering you will become a more caring and giving individual. You
will come to understand that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
dimensions are intertwined and of equal importance. You will experience
profound healing and can make a valuable contribution by teaching others the
lessons you learn. You may feel alone in your suffering, but you are capable of
providing a beacon of hope that helps to inspire others in similar situations.
Dispositor of The
Ascendant (Mercury) is Sesquisquare Uranus
Being
able to express yourself creatively is one of your most pressing needs. Finding
an outlet for your particular talents is important for your sense of wellbeing,
however you may find it difficult to find a vehicle or method to facilitate
this expression. It is important that you honour your
unique individuality and express yourself without fear. You are perhaps a
rather eccentric person who may be misunderstood, or you may have trouble
fitting in. Your interests, for example, could be unusual and your manner of
expression can be difficult for people to understand. You tend to manage well
on your own and your unique individuality is something of which you are proud,
but you still need to find a way to interact with the wider world.
Stress
can deplete your body of vitamins and minerals and can also result in a variety
of nervous disorders. Conditions such as epilepsy, circulation problems,
anxiety, or mental illnesses are possible. You could also experience some rare
or unusual health conditions. At times you may feel isolated or misunderstood,
and this can lead to feelings of depression.
It
is important for you to express your individuality and creativity perhaps by
developing more interaction with like-minded people. While it is necessary for
you to recognise your uniqueness and to find your
special niche in life, it is also important not to isolate yourself too much
from others.
Learning
yoga or Tai Chi could be highly beneficial for you, as these practises facilitate and enhance the natural flow of energy
within your body and externally in your environment.
Dispositor of The
Ascendant (Mercury) is Conjunct Pluto
You
have a powerful energy that can cope with just about anything that comes your
way. Your inner strength means you will fight against injustices as you seek to
transform the world around you. You will fight for what you want in life; this
includes your personal ambitions, but your biggest challenges and achievements
have a more profound purpose.
It
is possible that you come from a highly dysfunctional family background or that
you will experience your fair share of difficulties. This can foster within you
a deep-seated need to be in control of your own destiny. Your journey can take
you from the depths of grief to the heights of success. More than anything
else, you are a survivor who will pit yourself against any challenge life
throws at you. Your wounds are both a source of pain and your greatest
strength.
Pluto
can be associated with genetically inherited conditions that can be difficult
to treat. For you, stress can result in health issues involving the
reproductive organs. Mental illness is also a possibility; this can include
depression, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, and other similar conditions.
Pluto can also represent life-threatening conditions, but equally it infers
that you are a survivor and can overcome even the most difficult problems. It
could be that a close family member is the one who experiences some of these
challenges and that you are the one who has to deal with them. As a result of
your experiences you may develop a strong interest in psychology and related
fields, and you may be an agent for healing others, as well as yourself. It is
important that you learn to let go of those things that you cannot change.
Suggested
healing options that could be beneficial for you include: detoxifying, colonic
irrigation, psychotherapy, hypnotic regression and family therapy. Whatever
your situation, you have the capacity to rise above your problems and turn
difficulties into personal milestones, even great achievements.
Health
Challenges
Work
and Health - Managing the Impact of Stress
The
6th house yields important information about one's health. The 6th house is
also the house of diet, work and daily activities, which indicates the
connection that exists between all these aspects of life. The 6th house is also
associated with our habits. To stay healthy it is important to eat sensibly, to
establish good habits and to manage daily stress.
Planets
connected to the 6th house often symbolise, or
describe various parts of the body that we need to monitor for the effects of
long-term stress.
Unlike
the Ascendant and planets in the 1st house, which usually describe more acute
physical conditions, the 6th house tends to correspond with more chronic health
problems that can build up over time.
Our
regular day-to-day activities, our habits, and our occupation are all connected
with this house, the house of health. It can be difficult to change our habits
and routines, but it is possible. By making conscious decisions that bring
about better health, we can use the sixth house energies to establish healthy
habits.
Mercury
is in the 6th House
You
are often on the go and probably lead a busy life. You are capable and
efficient, but at times you can be under more stress than you think, for you
are no slouch. You work hard and probably don't mind taking on a variety of
tasks, which you perform well. From time to time, try to get in touch with and
express your feelings too. Now and again take a break and slow down the pace,
especially when you are not feeling well. Ensure you get plenty of B-Group
vitamins in your diet.
Stress
can manifest as respiratory problems, such as asthma, or allergies. You may be
prone to digestive problems and/or viral infections, especially when you let
yourself run down. Parts of your body that are potentially vulnerable to the
cumulative effects of stress are: lungs, arms, shoulders, larynx, sinuses,
urethra and the small intestine, as well as the nervous system. You can be
prone to chronic shoulder, arm or wrist problems too, including 'frozen
shoulder' from long hours spent in front of the computer.
Try
not to eat on the run. Stop what you are doing and sit down to meals, eating
slowly. Include plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit in your diet.
Venus
is in the 6th House
You
are a person with a high degree of integrity. You have a strong interest in
giving to others and in providing services that fulfil
their needs and you give quite selflessly when called upon. At times you might
over-value others and under-value yourself, which can affect your sense of
wellbeing.
Day-to-day
stress can take its toll in ways that affect your self-esteem. You may feel
unloved or undervalued at times. You should try to avoid replacing self-love
with food, or other indulgent activities, in particular limit intake of sugary
foods and alcohol, which you may not tolerate very well. Try to find a balance
between giving and receiving.
Some
relationships, especially in the workplace, may exacerbate feelings of
unworthiness that sometimes emerge when you are under stress, but overall you
enjoy working with people. Try to remember your values and self-worth are
valuable in their own right and do not depend upon what others might think, say,
or do. You may be interested in a
profession in the healing area, if so, it would probably be in areas that honour the self-worth of others: massage therapy,
aromatherapy, or beauty therapy for example. Also try to experience some of
these pleasures yourself on a regular basis. Areas to watch for the effects of
stress include: the thyroid, neck, tonsils, kidneys, bladder, vocal chords and
the skin. Bach flower remedies, aromatherapy, or a regular massage can help you
maintain optimum health. Consider taking up singing or dance, which are
excellent ways for you to express yourself.
Mars
is in the 6th House
You
are very driven when it comes to work and you expend a great deal of energy in
your daily activities. You tend to take on a huge workload and may not realise that at times you need to rest. As a result, you
might experience burn out. You are highly energetic, but you need to realise that you are not infallible and that your energy
needs to be replenished. Check your iron levels from time to time. Because your
output often exceeds your input, you may need regular multi-vitamins and
mineral supplements.
Areas
of the body to monitor for cumulative stress build up are: the head, face,
eyes, adrenal glands, muscles and blood. Watch for headaches, fevers,
inflammatory conditions, stomach acidity and accidents that can lead to broken
bones. You can also be prone to high-blood pressure and anaemia.
Most of these problems can be dealt with by changing your habits.
Exercise
regularly, but again don't overdo things. You are probably quite passionate,
single-minded and competitive about your work, but you can become frustrated,
impatient, or angry when things do not go according to plan. You might be
suited to self-employment, as you enjoy having autonomy and getting results
from your own efforts. It is important that you try to balance all this
activity and energy with time spent just relaxing. Limit your intake of spicy
food and alcohol.
Ruler
of the 6th House is Neptune
You
are highly adaptable and you may try to fit into situations from a misplaced
sense of belonging. Work colleagues and other people with whom you have regular
contact can easily influence you, but you could come to realise
that you don't actually have much in common with these people. You may be a
gifted artist and trying to fit into the corporate jungle may cause you to
actually get sick. It is important for your wellbeing that you honour your intuition and creativity. You may be prone to
illnesses that are difficult to diagnose and you could be sensitive to certain
foods, chemicals and/or drugs. You might also experience symptoms that do not
seem to have any explanation and you are potentially prone to depression. Avoid
chemicals and food additives where possible. You will benefit from drinking
plenty of water and having enough Omega 3 and 6 in your diet. Communing with
nature will revive your spirits, especially when the demands of daily life and
work tasks seem to overwhelm you. You are likely to benefit from such healing
techniques as: Reiki, spiritual healing, aromatherapy, hypnotherapy and most
types of holistic healing. It is best that you avoid alcohol and recreational
drugs. As a sensitive person, you could also be prone to psychosomatic conditions
and should make sure that you do what you can to minimise
the impact of stress. Other areas that can be affected by cumulative stress are
the lymphatic system and glandular system. When you feel the need to escape
from your routine, do so by engaging in activities that revive your spirits.
Try to avoid wallowing or indulging.
Pluto
is in the 6th House
You
may have to struggle to overcome something in order to survive. Because of your
experiences you tend to rely on your own resources a good deal and feel the
need to be strong and self-sufficient. As a result, the cumulative effects of
stress can manifest in conditions that effect the reproductive area, the colon,
bladder or lower back and you can also be prone to developing psychological
problems, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder. You are more sensitive than
you like to think, for you like to show that you are quite driven and ambitious.
Because you like to be self-sufficient, you may hide your sensitivity from
others. Remember that holding in the effects of stress can make you sick.
Pluto's connection with the 6th house suggests that you may suffer from
constipation, haemorrhoids or fertility problems.
These conditions can be a signal that you need to address the underlying
psychology that is probably contributing to, if not causing, these problems. If
not addressed, the on-going build up of toxins in your system, can result in
serious diseases. Expressing your emotions, rather than holding them in, will
alleviate tension and help to stop these conditions from developing. It is
probably a good idea to detoxify your system once in a while and psychotherapy
can be beneficial to help you release old patterns. Whatever the healing
method, learning to let go will facilitate deep healing, psychologically and
physically.
Limiting
the Impact of Chronic Stress
The
6th house is the house of health and also of work. When planets form
challenging aspects to this house they can symbolise
day-to-day obstacles and/or frustrations that we encounter which cause stress
reactions that can impact on our health. Planets in hard aspect to the 6th
house are often those that we find frustrating in some way. These aspects are
often associated with health matters, especially chronic conditions and they
also remind us how important it is to manage day-to-day stress.
However,
your own chart does not have any planets that fall into this category.
Therefore you will need to refer to the other sections of this report to find
advice which is relevant to your chart.
Physical
Energy and Exercise
Iron,
Cobalt, Chlorine, Folic Acid, Molybdenum, Selenium, Phosphorus, and Sodium,
along with Fatty Acids and Vitamin B12 are associated with Mars. Mars is a
primary masculine or yang archetype, associated with our physical energy and
vitality. Mars also governs the adrenal glands, the sexual response, the blood
and the muscles. So the position of Mars describes our physical energy,
competitiveness and our passions. The usual action of Mars is direct,
spontaneous and forceful.
Mars
is also the planet associated with our ego. The location of Mars tells us how
we go about getting what we want, or how we turn our desires into reality. Mars
also represents how we handle ourselves when our desires are thwarted.
Used
positively, Mars is associated with expressing our personal desires in
spontaneous and creative ways and expressing our creative energy in ways that fulfil our desires. If too intense in its expression, Mars
can be destructive, overly focussed on ego, angry,
hostile or aggressive. When under active, Mars can operate in a
passive-aggressive fashion, or can result in a lack of drive and energy.
Mars
is in the 6th House
You
expend a great deal of energy in your work and are capable of working long
hours, though you probably prefer to get things done as quickly and efficiently
as possible. Even so, you might not have much time or energy left over at the
end of the day for exercise, or for other activities outside work. Once you
make the time and effort you will really enjoy regular exercise, in fact this
too can become an obsession. Possible exercises and sports that are suited to
your type are running, walking, racquet sports, yoga, or dance. You tend to
prefer activities that you can do on your own, rather than in a team situation
and like to have your feet on the ground, which provides you with a sense of
safety and competence. Skydiving is probably not your style. You like to go at
your own pace and to challenge yourself against the clock, or to set your own
goals, rather than work against competitors. Possible health concerns with this
Mars position include bowel conditions including chronic inflammation,
indigestion, constipation, or food allergies. Try to eat nutritious and healthy
food and eat slowly which will aid digestion.
Your
energy style is measured and sensual. You are practical, but also quite driven.
You approach your tasks in methodical way. Very few people can match your
efficiency. You generate a great deal of output and are highly productive, however you can be critical of others and may
lack skills in teamwork. You prefer to go it alone. You may need to recognise that networking and teamwork can be just as
useful in getting a result and that others can provide useful feedback.
You
can become frustrated and critical with systems that you see as lacking in
efficiency and you can be prone to burnout. Expressing your frustrations via
communication, such as writing, is a good outlet.
Mars
is in Pisces
Your
energy can ebb and flow according to your inner psychological state. Sometimes
you are full of dynamic energy and at other times can be prone to lethargy or
chronic fatigue, or other conditions that affect your energy output. Sometimes
you can have trouble retaining your focus on what it is that you are doing and
can easily become distracted. Your energy style is suited to all types of water
sports including swimming, rowing, surfing, and sailing. When you put your
focus and desire into attaining personal milestones, you can be an inspiration
to others, but you are probably not really interested in competition.
Bushwalking or spending time regularly communing with nature will soothe your
spirit. Health problems associated with this Mars position include bursitis,
bunions and other feet problems, issues with fluid metabolism or lymph and
endocrine imbalances. With this Mars position, alcohol and drugs are best
avoided.
Finding
a spiritual and creative outlet is most important for your wellbeing. Otherwise
you may lack a sense of direction and/or motivation. You probably have unique
artistic gifts and enormous creative potential and your physical energy is
largely dependent upon your inner psychological wellbeing.
Healing
Solutions
Towards
Health - The Journey Continues
Astrologically,
Chiron is the archetype most associated with healing. In myth, Chiron was a
wise centaur and a teacher of the healing arts. His wisdom comes from
experience. Wounded accidentally by Hercules, Chiron's story is also symbolic
of our own journey towards wholeness and healing. Chiron was a healer and
teacher and also physician, prophet and musician. Named for this mythological
healer, the small planet Chiron was discovered in 1977, heralding the arrival
into consciousness of many new aspects of complementary medicine and
alternative healing techniques, just as the mythological Chiron was adept in
these natural arts and sciences. The position of Chiron in our birth chart
reveals information about where we might get in touch with our inner healer. Chiron
symbolises our wounds and painful experiences and it
is also the agent via which we can return to full health and reclaim our sense
of wellbeing. The location of Chiron reveals clues about how we experience
wounding and how we can find healing, mentally, physically, spiritually and
emotionally.
Chiron
is in the 4th House
The
wounds you experience in childhood may affect you in a profound way. Stress
sources for you are often related to family, parents, and your emotional
development. Emotional healing could become a priority for you. At some point
you are likely to be involved in a process of deep-seated healing that in some
way is connected with home, family, domestic matters and emotional security.
Where do I belong? Where is home? What constitutes a family? These are some of
the questions that lie deep within you. You are a sensitive soul who will
probably develop a rich inner life.
You
may become interested in investigating old patterns and family relationships,
and in the process you will learn a great deal about yourself. You will
discover how the past has contributed to your present and you will begin to
express your feelings in new ways, which will prove to be highly cathartic.
You
are highly imaginative, but at times you can feel insecure. At times of stress
you need to retreat from the world. It is possible you will experience some
conflicting emotions, from the heights of euphoria to the depths of sadness.
Your moods can fluctuate quite rapidly. Physical concerns with digestion,
stomach, the breast area, fluid metabolism, or food issues can be part of your
journey, and can signal the need for emotional healing.
Delving into the past, or into your own unconscious patterns using
tools such as psychotherapy, will bring deep emotional healing.
You may feel the need to go through this process before you can fully embrace
your future. Let yourself experience this without fear. Know you are safe.
Healing
options that can be additionally beneficial for you include nutrition, diet
changes, counselling, family therapy, hydrotherapy,
dream work, meditation, hypnotherapy, or aromatherapy. In your life, try to
strike a balance between giving and receiving.
Chiron
is in Capricorn
You
are adept at taking on responsibilities and commitments, but they may bring you
some stress. This is particularly the case in respect to your career, but also
in your home life and other areas. Perhaps you were encouraged to follow in the
footsteps of a parent, or a family tradition, as far as a career path was
concerned. Later, you might feel resentment that your own skills or interests
were not encouraged. You may have issues with either of your parents concerning
the rules and regulations that were set down for you to follow. These are
potentially some of the things you need to work to resolve.
It
is important that you take responsibility for your own life and try another
career if you are not feeling fulfilled. Don't let your responsibilities become
a burden. Key questions for you to consider are: What am I taking
responsibility for? What are my goals and priorities? Do I have to carry this
load on my own? Why am I doing this?
Business
or work pressure, the pressure of responsibilities, stress from your parents,
responsibilities of parenthood, or/and difficult encounters with government
agencies, can be signals that these issues need to be addressed. If you
experience health concerns with bones, joints, teeth, skin, knees, or back
problems it is time to consider healing options such as massage, chiropractic,
or osteopathy. Most importantly, strike a life/work balance.
Your
journey may involve one or more major career changes, which could be quite
scary initially, because it means giving up some measure of security, while also
embracing change and the unknown.
At
some point you might consider a career in the health sector, or as a teacher.
In fact, once you have experienced healing in your own life, to embark on this
journey will bring fulfilment, but it is important
that you first deal with your own stress and wellbeing. Try to remain positive
and adaptable and recognise that you do have choices.
Within these challenges, you will find the key to your freedom and success.
Healing
Inherited Patterns
Chiron
is the archetypal 'wounded healer' and his position in the horoscope reveals
information about our journey towards wholeness and wellbeing. When other planets combine with Chiron, our healing journey takes
on added significance. Specific wounds that we carry with us can also
provide clues as to how we can find inner wisdom and ultimate healing.
Mercury
is Semisquare Chiron
Your
wounds are possibly connected to communication or learning. Perhaps you have
trouble in these areas, perhaps as a result of your early in life at school.
Perhaps you missed some important information in your school years, maybe owing
to ill health. Both respiratory conditions and digestive complaints may be
associated with this combination, including allergic reactions. Communication
problems such as stuttering or dyslexia may also relate to this aspect. As you
move through life you will probably find that you grow out of these problems
and develop a strong mind and a degree of wisdom. You may struggle with some of
these issues but you can overcome them. Over time you may actually become a
gifted teacher.
Mars
is Semisquare Chiron
Your
healing journey may involve you in events that can make you feel angry and
frustrated. But dwelling on these issues can exacerbate matters and lead to
problems including cardio vascular conditions, high blood pressure and heart
conditions. Anger management can go a long way towards a return to health, but
you may also need to delve more deeply within yourself in order to find true
healing.
You
may have sudden outbursts of anger, or be on the receiving end from others
outbursts. Swallowing your anger won't work because repressed hostility can
lead to disease as well, if not depression. Passive-aggressive behaviour can be equally counter-productive. In your
healing journey it is important for you to find a way to balance your strength
and sensitivity. Over-reacting to events may be a signal that you need to look
within yourself for answers. Sexual dysfunction is also possible with this
combination of energies. Again, look for ways to balance your strength and
passions with your more caring side. It could be that you lack assertiveness
and need to heal on an ego level, which will help you to express your desires.
As
accidents are possible with this aspect, it could be that you are on the
receiving end, or perhaps the cause of an accident, which dramatically changes
your life. It may be this event that is a catalyst that leads you to embrace
ultimate healing. It is part of your journey to learn forgiveness, of others
and of yourself.
Saturn
is Square Chiron
You
may experience phobias or fears that stem from your childhood experiences, in
particular these may be relating to your relationship with your father. Fear
can block spontaneous expression, and can impact on health. Perhaps you were
encouraged to follow in the footsteps of your father, or a family tradition, or
perhaps you struggle to get out from under this powerful influence. You might
feel that you must strictly adhere to rules and regulations that were set down
for you to follow, which can spill over into your adult development.
It
is important that you find your own goals and aims in life and be able to
express yourself without fear. When you are thwarted in attaining your
ambitions you can become discouraged, depressed, frustrated or angry. These
emotions, along with fear, can be signals that you need to embrace healing.
Give yourself permission to experience healing.
At
times you can be overly focussed on your
responsibilities, or perhaps the reverse is true. Your healing journey includes
finding a way to recognise which things are your responsibility and which are not. What are your
goals and what do you aspire to become?
Uranus
is Square Chiron
Owing
to the slow movement of the outer planets, it is important to note that these
aspects can be present for a great many people and are therefore more often
associated with cultural, or social conditions rather than personal ones.
Social
isolation has become an issue for many people, consistent with the fact that
aspects between these planets are common. Chiron and Uranus were on opposing
sides of the earth for a long period of time. Just about everyone born between
1950 and 1990 have Chiron and Uranus in opposition.
This
aspect symbolises that many traditions have largely
been overthrown and we have embraced new technologies and new freedoms. But at
the same time those things that we once relied upon are no longer there, and
this has led to a host of social problems.
The
pace at which life is lived is more rapid than ever before and this can lead to
its own brand of stress. Feelings of isolation are more common experiences,
which can lead to depression and other mental illnesses.
Linking
up with like-minded people can help us realise that
we are not alone in this suffering.
Pluto
is Semisquare Chiron
Owing
to the slow movement of the outer planets, it is important to note that these
aspects can be present for a great many people and are therefore more often
associated with cultural, or social conditions, rather than personal ones.
Today
we are becoming more aware that humanity as a whole is at a crossroads. This
aspect signifies issues pertaining to the ultimate survival of life on earth
and healing of collective psychological issues that are shared by all.
Aspects
between these planets are common. Chiron and Pluto were on opposite sides of
the earth during much of the 1960s when this deeper awareness first came into
consciousness. For those touched by this awareness, healing the planet and
related big picture issues, can become a major imperative and mission in life,
especially if other personal planets are also in aspect to Chiron and Pluto.
Key
Parts of the Body
Each
degree of the zodiac corresponds with a specific part of the body. The location
of each planet in the birth chart will therefore represent certain physical
areas. This section lists all the anatomical degrees of your natal planets as
well as the degree of the Ascendant and Sixth House cusp.
Unfortunately,
the exact meaning of a few of the terms in the anatomical degrees remains
unclear, even after consultation by the translator, Jane Ridder-Patrick,
with German medical colleagues. However, from the zodiacal area concerned, it
is relatively simple to give a fairly reliable approximation. Although he did
include them along with his own work, Reinhold Ebertin
was of the opinion that these degree areas are not as reliable as those he
himself used.
The
'azimene degrees' are also included in this list.
These degrees, which are sometimes called degrees lame and deficient, come from
William Lilly's Christian Astrology written in the 17th Century. Lilly says
that blindness, deafness, lameness or any other crippling disability or deformity,
can be explained by the person having the Ascendant, the Ascendant ruler, the
Moon or the most important planet, in either the natal chart or the decumbiture chart (a chart for the onset of an illness), in
any of the azimene degrees.
Please
note that some of these degree areas are gender specific, and will therefore
not necessarily apply to you. It is important to also keep in mind that you
probably won't have health problems with all of these physical areas, nor
necessarily with any of them, but if you do have a health issue that relates to
any of these degree areas, you may need to investigate the nature of this
particular planet further, for specific healing.
