SUN
The Sun is the source of your vital power, principally ruling the brain and heart in man and woman. Its sign location (zodiac Sun sign), aspects to other planets, and house position indicate the vitality of the body, especially in males. The Sun is thus the indicator of health in males, while the Moon governs health matters in females. However, the Sun and Moon are important in health matters in both sexes. The Sun signs and Moon signs at birth, along with their aspects and positions, are regarded as the "fountains of life on Earth". The Sun is one of the vital centers in a star map, along with the Moon, Ascendant (rising sign), and Midheaven (tenth house).

The power of the Sun and how it radiates within you can be thought of as light rays emanating from a light bulb, powering into your body. The Sun signs are divided into the Four Elements: FIRE (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius); AIR (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius); WATER (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces); and EARTH (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn). All males born with the Sun in fire signs have the best prospects for good vitality, as light radiates most freely in a body composed of the fire element. Light also radiates freely in air, and these natives are the next strongest, but air sign people become weakened by worry and nervousness. They need rest to recuperate. The earth element for sunlight is linked with the densest matter, gives tenacity, wear and tear, rather than vitality. Theses individuals tend to recovery slowly from their illnesses. The water element for transmission of sunlight gives the weakest constitution, being a more difficult medium to manifest light (except Scorpio).

The Sun is the giver of life, but is quite impersonal in its influence that the average man or woman rarely contacts its higher qualities in a conscious or positive sense. Planetary aspects, even if hard (square or opposite), are better than no aspects at all, as in the latter, the native is hardly touched at all by its influence. This fact is the reason "Sun sign" prophecies found in the tabloids and daily paper make no sense to some individuals. When well placed, however, it signifies will power, authority, and self-reliance. If afflicted by the Moon or Ascendant, it will make the health feeble and the vitality low.

The Sun rules the metabolic fires of your body's cells. Its placement represents how that energy is needed and distributed. This topic has been termed PHOTOBIOTICS by the author. All biologic life is ruled by the Sun. Your body requires copious quantities of light from many sources to maintain your health, vitality, and beauty. Each Sun sign has recommended foods that tend to foster vitality, as well as dietary pointers, and warnings about certain foods that will disturb your body's distribution of the Sun's vital rays, indicative by your Sun's zodiac placement (the season of the year in which you were born).

In terms of the Zodiac, the twelve signs represent the Grand Man, and rule the different parts of the body, from head as in Aries, to toe as in Pisces. Thus, there is a zodiacal rulership over the body and its organs. In terms of Sun signs and rising signs, it represents where disease potential exists. The locations and transits represent how an organ or bowel will be afflicted since these are rotating, dynamic entities. The houses at birth, signify why disorders will manifest.

Inharmonious aspects to the Sun are angles and locations of the other planets in their orbits in relationship to the Sun. They are called afflictions. For example, if the Sun is afflicted by a hard angle to the Moon, the health will be weak, and the rays of the Sun will be on the cold side, the eyesight will suffer.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY: Vitality, the absorption of prana through the spleen, the immune system, heart function, spine and back, eyesight, individual cellular metabolism, the blood and oxygenation, consciousness.

SUN in LEO
The dominant theme of Leo is to develop one's creativity and internal power. The mind and heart are polarized in Leo, representing man's attainment of individuality. The key phrase for Leo is "I will". This sign represents majesty, power, and dignity. When their egos are turned inward, Leos become self-centered and tyrannical. Leos express pride in every movement. As long as they are in control or in positions of responsibility, their self-confidence is high. Leos whose desires for power and authority remain unfulfilled may develop traits of laziness, indolence, and inconstancy.

Leos are often courageous and bold and even stubborn when plans are not of their own doing. They can also be arrogant and willful, expecting the limelight, and the admiration of others. Their confident attitude may appear smug to others. Their sunny disposition and smiling eyes reflects a sense of hauteur, if not snobbery. The hair is abundant as in a lion's mane with the chin firm and purposeful. Leo is usually not a tall sign, but very sturdy with an even gait.

The Sun, supreme ruler of the human ego, rules Leo. Its influence gives Leos their true love of life, love through marriage, and its pleasures. They are strongly attracted to the opposite sex. It is easy for pleasure-loving Leos to become addicted to rich restaurant food, and in time they find themselves gaining weight, especially around the girth.

The signs have internal, external, and structural rulerships. Leo represents the heart of the physical system, a fire sign that heats the body and can lead to a loss of equilibrium between body and mind. Internally, Leo rules the heart, spinal cord, liver metabolism, spleen, pulmonary arteries and aorta, superior and inferior vena cava. Externally, the back and forearm. Structurally, the twelve dorsal vertebrae.

Leo colors are gold, royal blue, and red. Their benefiting color is purple which cools down their hot temperament. Leo rules gold, and the birthstones for this sign are amber, carnelian, diamond and topaz. These individuals should remember only to wear these stones if they wish to bring that particular energy into their life. Flowers for Leo include the showy dahlia, yellow lily, poppy (red), marigold, sunflower, heliotrope, orange, and rosemary.

BENEFICIAL BACH FLOWER ESSENCES:
Vine: Dominating, inflexible, ambitious, bossy.

HEALING NOTE: E

AROMAS: Bay, basil, cinnamon, frankincense, ginger, juniper, lime, nasturtium, neroli, orange, petitgrain, rosemary.

PHOTOBIOTICS: Most Leos are suited to vegetarian diets due to their fiery nature. They should avoid meats that are heating like beef, turkey, and lamb. The vegetable foods which contain iron like spinach, kale, and wheat grass are important. Buckwheat, a cooling grain, is suited to the native. Blue fruits like grapes and berries benefit the native. Coconut, nuts, raisins, lentils are beneficial foods.

SUSCEPTIBLE AREAS: Head

AFFLICTIONS: Anemia, heart disease, palpitation; spinal disorders, backache; baldness; eye troubles.

KARMIC TENDENCIES: Death by plague.

MOON
Your Sun sign indicates constitutional vigor and its elemental quality (fire, air, water, earth), your Moon sign shows the flow of this vital force and your health. The Moon predominates health matters in the female chart, as well as those caught under the influence of its emotional force. A disturbed flow of the vital force, ruled by the Moon, will cause fluctuations in vitality and ultimately disease. Your Moon sign and its aspects shows your instinctive, reflex actions, and your habits (good or bad). Moon patterns are reactions and habits set up in childhood, and become fixed unless acted upon by the individual themselves. Its location, aspects, and afflictions are one of the most important factors to consider in the health chart.

The Moon represents the personal habits, suffering, worry, and disease tendencies. The Moon sign is always very sensitive and represents the weakest part of the body. Operations should not be performed when the Moon is passing through the native's sign. The Moon rules the body's fluids, lymphatics, and the natural power of each organ, including its expulsive or detoxifying powers. Acquired and destructive habits are generally under the influence of the Moon sign. It rules the period of life from one to seven years, when so many destructive habits and health patterns are acquired, as for example from the parents or guardians. It shows what type of habits you may develop and how they affect your health.

Moon diseases today predominate the health chart. The Moon has a special affinity for the eyes and eye disorders, defects and errors of accommodation, putrefaction of the bowels, autointoxication; and disorders or the breasts, womb, and stomach. Moon forces harden and crystallize the body with age. Moon dominated persons are inconstant, restless, changeable, and variable, and succumb easily to infectious illnesses, colds and flu. The Moon rules the stomach. Today we see swollen abdomens due to excessive eating. Full, round bellies with visual defects reflect just how Moon bound and problematic the aspects of this orbital body is in the health astrological chart.

The Moon afflicts other planets and signs by its oppositions and squares. Ill-aspects show an inclination to little or no exercise. The less afflictions in the female nativity, the better a chance of a long and prosperous life. The Moon sign signifies diseases that are acquired after birth, particularly due to indiscretions, bad habits, and emotional proclivities. It rules the natural powers and immunity. Cancer, the malignant disease, is a Moon disease, and is prevalent in our mood-based society of foul language, nasty thoughts, toxic diet, and bad habits.

It should be noted whether the Moon is above the horizon at birth (waxing) or below the horizon at birth (waning). The health will be stronger with the Moon above the horizon, rather than below. Hard aspects (afflictions) are not as strong when the Moon in waxing or increasing in light.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: The Moon rules diseases that are periodic, return time and again, as in epilepsy, vertigo, menstrual problems, swellings, migraine headaches, and gout. Rheumatism is a Moon disease, caused by the retention of wastes in the joints and fascia. Cancer is a Moon disease, caused not only by retention of wastes but also morbid bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Moon diseases today are epidemic, as obesity, lymphatic stasis, tissue puffiness, autointoxication, fungal/zymotic disorders, and worm infestation affect nearly all industrial populations. Moon diseases are accentuated by working under artificial lights or at night, drinking water from underground pipes and/or obtained from recycled wastes, eating devitalized food stored in refrigerators and freezers, breathing stale, foul or polluted air; and eating slaughterhouse meats.

The foods and spices that benefit Moon afflictions are those ruled by the Sun and Mars. The Sun produces fruits and vegetables which when eaten raw and/or fresh, will vitalize the individual and ward off disease. The old adage, fresh is best, aptly applies to the health rules.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY: Lymphatic system, breasts, mucous membranes, menstruation/fertility/uterus in pregnancy, stomach and alimentary tract.

ARE YOU A SUN OR MOON DOMINATED PERSON ?
The night is ruled by the Moon, and the Sun rules the day. The ancient astrologers believed that those born during the day are more ruled by the Sun, whereas those born at night are more ruled by the Moon. Moon activities tend to raise the action of morbid germs, while the electric action of the day tends to destroy them. Night activities are less vitalizing than daytime activities. Females and Moon people tend to suffer more at night when ill. Moon people are more restless, inconstant, and changeable. The Moon rules the personality and lower mind, while the Sun rules the intellect and higher mind. Health tends to return when one begins to "see the light".

MOON in VIRGO
The Moon in Virgo increases the mental qualities if well-aspected; giving a retentive memory, a love of study and an ambition to excel. Chemistry, nutrition and dietetics are among their lines of study. They are rather reserved and of quiet demeanor, disliking flattery or emotional display. When adversely aspected, selfishness, narrow-mindedness, trouble in employment or with employees and malintestinal peristaltic often result. Serious minded, they are guarded about their feelings yet can be surprisingly unrealistic at times. Women may encounter sorrow through marriage due to a lack of passion.

This is a Moon sign of nervousness, neurasthenia, and debility in old age. Those with Moon in Virgo are susceptible to colon cancer. They crave sweets and sugars and thus prone to hypoglycemia. This sign opposite Pisces makes them prone to tired, aching feet.

SUSCEPTIBLE AREAS: Arms, shoulders, bowels.

AFFLICTIONS: Acid indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, colic, flatulence, and dysfermentation.

BENEFICIAL FOODS: Brown rice, chamomile tea, olive oil, grapes, saffron, almonds, passion flower, and lemonade. To stabilize their bowels, they should eat only whole grains.

FOODS TO AVOID: Refined and processed foods.

RASHI HOMEOPATHIC MIXTURE: Camphor, gelsemium, lycopodium, ambra grisea, arnica, phosphorus, ammonium.

MERCURY
Mercury, when well placed in the nativity chart, indicates a good and balanced mind. It rules the cerebral hemispheres. Ill-aspected and afflicted, it shows a tendency to various disorders of mental reasoning, bad judgment, nervous disease, and tendency to gamble, swindle, insomnia, and a lack of spiritual calm. The location in the chart shows what body parts may be prone to neuralgia.

Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, therefore it manifests in diseases related to respiratory and digestive disorders, particularly of nervous origin. Physiologically, Mercury rules the respiration and breath. Mercury afflicted at birth indicates a tendency to shallow breathing. The Hindus believe rhythmic breathing is necessary for direct link between the soul and mind. Unrhythmic breathing severs this connection leading to nervous conditions, those easily influenced by others, proneness to depression, and even insanity. Proper and unregulated breathing beginning in early life leads to a cascade of pathological actions including lack of intellectual development, oxygen deficient blood, tendency to overeat since the diaphragm does not "massage" the stomach due to stifled breathing, lymphatic stasis since breathing opens the lymph channels, and lethargy due to lack of vital force and sluggish pranic currents. Mercury placement indicates much more than the mundane astrology books indicate.

Mercury is considered a neutral planet, in that its transmissions are governed by the aspects to other planets in the chart. When Mercury conjuncts the Sun, the ego is involved; aspected to the Moon, the subconscious and habits; to Jupiter, exaggeration, etc. When Mercury's nervous messages are distorted by the rays of another planet, inaccurate reception of information and inappropriate neural commands are likely. Simply, response does not match stimulus resulting in unbalanced behavior. If the large planets are involved, this can translate into important health consequences.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Mercury's chief influence is on the nerves. In regards to aches and pains, the placement of Mercury in the sign of body rulership shows tendency to affliction when ill-aspected. Thus, Mercury in Aries shows the tendency to headaches, in Taurus a tendency to laryngitis and sore throats, in Gemini chest pains, etc. To offset Mercury afflictions and thus reduce tendency to aches and pains, the native must learn proper and rhythmic breathing. Taking up study of yoga or Chinese Ch'i Kung would be of great benefit.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY: Nervous system, nervous faculties; breathing, the hands, the touch; organs of speech and hearing.

MERCURY in VIRGO
Mercury in Virgo is exalted, consequently when well-aspected it indicates a clear, logical, scientific mind, and the ability and eloquence to express oneself fluently in a number of languages. These individuals have sharp, analytical abilities. It gives these people comprehensive, discriminating outlooks on life, and conclusions that are usually practical and to the point. When Mercury is afflicted in Virgo it makes these individuals irritable, critical and selfish. People with Mercury in Virgo make excellent dietitians and chemists. They also have unusual dexterity and their curiosity leads them down many paths, mentally as well as physically. This position can indicate hyperinsulinism which means drops in blood sugar, hypoglycemia, and tendency to gain weight. The native should drink adequate amounts of water (6-8 glasses daily), and especially a glass of water when the hunger sensation arises. This can offset those "sugar blues" and ward off excessive eating. The native should also avoid washing with animal based tallow-bar soaps to maintain a good complexion.

SUSCEPTIBLE AREAS: Head, breast, heart.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Bowel disorders with nervous indigestion, constipation, flatulence and "wind colic", gastroenteritis, diarrhea, obstruction, parasite infection; nervous debility and mental strain, shallow breathing with lack of vitality, an overactive mind; bad complexion; and affections of the heart.

NERVINES: Dill, almonds, celery juice.

VENUS
From the days of Hippocrates, father of Western medicine (Fifth century B. C.), the ancients emphasized the value of diet and exercise as the prime methods of restoration of health and longevity. The ancient figurines of women, known as the "Venus statues", depict a bottom heavy, obese figure of a woman. Some of these Paleolithic figurines are believed to be more than 20,000 years old. They are found in all areas of Europe, as far away as Russia, and they all show women with huge, fat hips and buttocks. Today, it is known as the "Venus Syndrome", the connection between Venus and the lower body fat, today referred to as "cellulite" - the thickening and laxity of connective tissue beneath the skin, around gelatinous pockets of fat, which traps toxic matter and body wastes.

Venus is the principle of harmony, equilibrium, homeostasis, and thus rules the body's hormonal secretions. The Moon and Venus rule strongly over the affairs and health of women. It rules over all regulatory and secretory functions, especially the female sexual hormones. It rules the chemical composition of the body's fluids, acidity and alkalinity, sodium-potassium balance, and the other mineral ions. The planet is basically benefic in action, but in hard aspect frequently points to numerous little disorders, showing a general relaxation of the system and body tone, but eventually debilitates the native as the years pass. Its afflictions are generally maladies due to indiscretions in diet and habit.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Venus has traditionally been associated with diabetes. Hard aspects to Venus point to lack of homeostasis, lack of tone, congestion and swelling of the body's tissues; cyst formation; and kidney disorders. Venus also rules over the veins and indicates such disorders as varicose veins, hemorrhoids, vascular spiders, etc.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY: Homeostasis, hormonal balance, ovaries, kidneys, venous system, tissue tone, nutritional functions, skin and complexion.

VENUS in LEO
This position indicates natives that are affectionate, with deep sympathetic feelings, and the desire to help the sick and needy. The people-oriented qualities associated with Leo makes these natives friendly, outgoing, and magnanimous. Many of them possess special talents in art, graphics or design. There is a tendency here for exaggeration, and dramatics are likely to be seen in their mannerisms or some aspect of their personalities. If Venus is afflicted, there could be a tendency that these individuals are cold and cruel. This position can indicate back problems which require periodic chiropractic adjustments. The cholesterol should also be watched as there is tendency for weakness of the aorta with aneurysm late in life.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Backache and spinal disorders, leg pains; heart troubles and palpitations.

ASTRINGENTS/TONICS: Walnut, tangerine, orange, olives, grapefruit.

SUSCEPTIBLE AREAS: Legs, breast, heart.

MARS
Mars is known as the "lesser unfortunate", and Saturn is known as the "greater unfortunate", as both are considered malefic planets. The action of Mars is acute and violent, heating, inflammatory, and febrile. Mars rules one's physical energy, expressed as either self-assertiveness and healthy efforts, or aggression and hostility. Mars actions include arousal, erection, and penetration. Mars diseases are traumatic, contagious, burning, blistering, leaving scars, pock marks, and disfigurements. They are diseases that arise from anger, frustration, madness, and wickedness. When Mars is well aspected, it shows a strong constitution, good physical endurance and independence. Natives under strong benefic influence are practical, handle instruments well, and make good surgeons and dentists. When unfavorably aspected, the native is prone to fits of fury, argumentative, and liable to accidents.

Esoterically speaking, Mars, like the Moon, is one of the planets that loses its influence as spiritual faculties are developed. It is a planetary influence where its principal expression - anger - always brings reciprocal negative reactions of the worst kind. To better understand its influence in the native, the house location indicates the external conditions in the life of the native that needs spiritual development. The zodiac sign location of Mars indicates the body's susceptible areas where the negative emotion of anger will raise havoc and disorder.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Inflammations and scars on the body parts ruled by the zodiac sign or house of its placement; alterations in blood chemistry, especially glucose, calcium, magnesium; geloses and myogeloses in muscular tissues; liver torpidity and congestion; genitourinary infections; hypertension and hypertensive headaches, migraine.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY: Body heat, inflammatory response, adrenal function, formation of hemoglobin and blood clots, digestion of food, muscular activity, glycogen storage and liver function, genitals.

MARS in TAURUS
Those who have Mars in Taurus are usually very practical and deliberate, and have good foresight and organizing and executive abilities. These people are not easily thwarted by obstacles and push forward until their goal is reached. This location indicates good earning capacity, and if Mars is favorably aspected it indicates money by legacy. These people are liberal, and very often spend lavishly on clothing and fine foods. If Mars is afflicted the native is exceedingly stubborn, the speech is blunt, and when such persons become angry they are apt to be bullheaded. If legacy comes to them there is danger of losing it through legal trouble. There is also danger of unfavorable unions, powerful opponents, scandal and monetary difficulties which are usually the outcome of living too lavishly or by domestic troubles. They are likely to possess great physical strength and stamina, or at least have the capacity to develop these qualities. This position indicates tendency to sore throats and the native should drink adequate amounts of water (6-8 glasses daily) and avoid eating hot and spicy foods to offset infection and inflammations.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Troubles of the throat, pharyngitis, angina, laryngitis, enlarged adenoids and tonsils; asthma, bronchitis and tendency to catch pneumonia, hay fever; bowel disease from gluttony and spicy foods; ovarian disease; fractures; arrhythmia; kidney stones; foul, swollen tongue, glossitis, halitosis.

ANTIPHLOGISTICS/COOLANTS: Avocado, banana, almonds, celery, spinach, mango.

VULNERARIES: Comfrey, arnica.

KARMIC TENDENCIES: Death by burns (especially if afflicting the Sun, Moon or Ascendant); death by strangulation; given to treachery; obstinate in religious matters, refusal to admit wrong or change beliefs.

SUSCEPTIBLE AREAS: Kidneys, throat.

JUPITER
When favorably aspected, Jupiter shows one's tendency to benevolence and jovial disposition. These natives are courteous, refined, law abiding, and honorable. When adversely aspected, it denotes lawlessness, self-indulgence, carelessness in meeting obligations, and gluttony which results in ill-health.

Medically, Jupiter in the natal chart rules the liver, the main organ for balance and detoxification, reception of the intestinal portal circulation, and control of fat utilization. Thus, Jupiter rules fat metabolism. It rules the arterial blood, and the functions of digestive assimilation, especially in regards to the liver. Jupiter also rules the adrenals and the storage of glycogen, and thus has influence over the stamina and muscular power. The placement of Jupiter points to those herbs and dietetics that will best suit the native for detoxification and periodic cleansing of the bowels and thus the liver.

Although Jupiter by nature is benefic, it has a malefic influence when in hard aspect to the Sun, Moon or Ascendant; and in the sixth house. Most of its maladies are accentuated by indiscretions in diet leading to blood disorders, toxicity, and fatty accumulations.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Obesity, toxicity, hypertension, abdominal fullness, diseases from "high living", stroke, hemorrhagic diseases, jaundice.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY: Liver functions, especially detoxification and glycogen storage, production of urea and bile; fat metabolism; blood and arterial system; growth hormone.

JUPITER in LIBRA
Jupiter in Libra, when well-aspected, indicates a kind, sympathetic and loving disposition. These natives are conscientious, sociable and have benevolent natures. They are popular with the opposite sex and benefit may be expected from their partners. Success in the business and public life are characteristic. If Jupiter is afflicted there may be indulgence of the lower natures which will bring troubles and public scandal with a loss of popularity and prestige. Working in partnership, joint ventures, and other cooperate efforts is the key to their success.

SUSCEPTIBLE AREAS: Sex organs, legs, head, eyes.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Diabetes; kidney disease, albumuria, renal tumor and obstruction, edema; impure blood with sores, ulcers, and pimples; fatty tumors on the back; ailments and disorders from high living; hypertension, congestive headaches; adrenal insufficiency and fatigue.

LIVER CLEANSING: Celery and cucumber juices to flush the kidneys and liver.

SATURN
In Greek, Saturn is known as "kronos", from which our word "chronic" is taken. Permanent disease is signified by the placement of Saturn in the chart, and its course and attack by the motion of other planets. Its action signifies binding, crystallizing, cold, dry, hardening, depleting, obstructing, retarding, and suppressing. The afflictions of Saturn are for prolonged periods, whereas Mars afflicts more acutely, for short periods.

Saturn's placement in the chart is associated with the solid matter of one's body, ruling all dense components and processes. Saturn in any part of the horoscope is considered an affliction to the zodiac sign, house, and parts of the body so ruled. It tends to weaken and make one more liable to disease, and the sign and parts ruled are usually considered the most vulnerable, even to cause death through disease and malignancy. Those parts ruled at birth by Saturn indicate reduced nerve and energy supply, insufficient oxygenation, accumulation of tissue acids, and thus fibrositis, myositis, and rheumatism. The planet Saturn indicates subnormal conditions by inhibition, retention, and suppression. The medical astrologers at the turn of the century stated that carcinoma is most liable to occur in that part ruled by the sign that Saturn is in at birth. Saturn also has rulership over the blood's clotting factors, the parathyroids, and calcium metabolism.

Saturn's afflictions come from lack of self control, spiritual development, and materialistic tendencies. When manifested negatively, Saturn's principle action is quite simply fear. The hard aspects indicate opportunity to come to terms with a specific kind of fear. The type of fear is indicated by Saturn's aspects (conjunct, square or opposition) to the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury or Venus.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Typical Saturnine problems are chronic skin complaints, stiffness of the joints and muscles, deformity; dental problems; deafness; depression; slowed atrophy and functioning of the body's processes; scleroses of the body's tissues, rheumatism from accumulated tissue wastes in the sign or house of the nativity chart.

Subluxations of the spine are partial dislocations of the vertebra which impinge and put pressure on the nerves passing through them, shutting off nerve supply and causing irritation and pain leading to disease. Along the lines of chiropractic philosophy, health is maintained by a correctly aligned spine that requires periodic adjustments by manipulative therapy. Palpation and X-ray discover these deviations but your astrological chart can identify weak areas that will be chronically affected. Each sign of the zodiac, and malefics placed in them, tend to afflict the vertebra, especially the vertebra ruled by the sign in which Saturn is found at birth. Such subluxations tend to be the major one throughout life. For example, the sign Libra rules the kidneys and if Saturn is here at birth, the 10th, 11th, 12th dorsals, and 1st lumbar will be afflicted the most, and this is known before examination. From a chiropractic or osteopathic standpoint, the emphasis of treatment should be in the area where Saturn was afflicting at birth as this area will show stasis, restrictions, stiffness, and congestion.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY: Skin, bone and joints, teeth, hearing, ossicification.

SATURN in SAGITTARIUS
Saturn in Sagittarius, when well-aspected, indicates a philanthropic disposition and true religious impulse. The native is trusted, honored, respected and in demand for positions of value, in social, industrial or religious circles. When Saturn is afflicted in Sagittarius it makes the person insincere, cynical and sarcastic, ambitious but for selfish purposes, and liable to become involved in lawsuits. This position also affects the lungs and the native should be careful not to catch cold. Rhythmic breathing is advised.

SUSCEPTIBLE AREAS: Legs, feet.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Gout, sciatica, hip joint disease, aching and stiff; labored breathing with tendency to pneumonia; cold, arthritic legs, numbness, poor circulation; debility of the nervous system; baldness, inhibited hair growth.

COUNTERACTING STIMULANTS: Figs, sarsaparilla, ginseng.

RULING VERTEBRA: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th lumbars; sacrum; coccyx; sacroiliac disorder.

KARMIC TENDENCIES: Death by attack of beasts (cattle, horses, elephants, quadrapeds (especially if square or opposite the Sun or Moon).

URANUS
Uranus rules your electrical life breath, and thus your avenues for personal as well as societal freedom. It indicates potential for originality of thought and expression, yet its energy is not accessible to much of humanity at this time. In society it rules the apparently radical ideas and people that are years ahead of their time. They lead to revolutionary events that upset established structures. The Aquarian age of which we are now entering is ruled by Uranus. Its cycle began with the discovery of electricity which it rules and is now interconnecting everyone on the planet with a synthetic telepathy.

Karmically, all aspects of the personal planets - Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, or the Ascendant - indicate areas of life where there is a strong urge for freedom of expression without restraint and the need for constant stimulation and excitement. This planet also represents the capacity to be high-strung, excitable, and temperamental. The motives of Uranus thus represent the purpose of radically repolarizing an individual's past lives, and open one up to new experience either through stimulating, shocking, and even traumatic crises to find new ways of living. People who are ruled by Uranus are lovers of freedom, rebellious at least restraint, intuitive and inventive. They are aviators, high level mechanics, or deal directly with electricity. It also tends towards erratic behavior and can make people irritable and brusque in manner.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY: Skin, bone and joints, teeth, hearing, ossicification. Uranus rules all the rhythmic processes of the body. It rules the movement of the whole digestive tract from mouth to anus. Thus, the common symptom of its afflictions are spasmodic manifestations and disrupted rhythms - muscles spasms, shock, cramp, strictures, ruptures, paroxysms, and contortions.

URANUS in LEO
Uranus in Leo indicates a native with a determined nature, prone to rebellious and impatient moods. These individuals have strong likes and dislikes, and possess unbridled passion. Their Uranian temperament is strong, forceful and self-assertive, therefore these natives often incur displeasure and opposition from others. In a woman's horoscope an afflicted Uranus shows difficulty in childbirth, perhaps even death of a child by abortion or accident, and a tendency towards palpitation of the heart. The native is advised to abstain from stimulants, tea, coffee, and condiments during pregnancy. When Uranus is well-aspected in Leo, both love and domestic affairs are more harmonious and it indicates original and inventive genius.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Heart affections, cardiac hypertrophy, arrhythmia, palpitation, angina; spinal disorders, tremors, twitching; tendency to abortion; spinal meningitis; infantile paralysis.

ANTISPASMODICS: Hibiscus, rosemary.

KARMIC TENDENCIES: Sexual perversions; sudden illness in the spine, heart or back.

NEPTUNE
Neptune takes approximately 164 years to orbit the zodiac, taking about 13 years in each sign. Its position is a kind of cultural expression manifesting itself with imaginative and creative faculties of a generation. Its location points to a common spiritual destiny shown by the sign that it occupies. As one gets older, new generations may then seem strange in style, cultural or artistic expression, something not innately understood by the native.

People with an afflicted Neptune should always be on guard for deception, trickery, and fraud. Since each one's life is the outcome of former living, afflictions of Neptune offer ready channels where enemies from past lives or evil spirits can gain entry into our sacred temple. Forewarned is forearmed and confrontations can be stepping stones upward in life, or misery leading to drug abuse and apathy. Afflictions to Neptune may also indicate a previous life of extreme asceticism where the physical body was ignored or neglected leading to a leaky aura in this life. The corroborating symptoms are tiredness and need for a lot of sleep. There is also susceptibility to tuberculosis as Neptune is the ruler of this disease. Sunlight counteracts the tubercular diathesis and helps to harden and anneal an etheric body with a leaky aura. Likewise, a favorably aspected Neptune may let one drone away one's time, neglecting valuable opportunities offered for soul growth by following the deceptive lines of least resistance. Neptune rules illusion and abstract thinking, as well as those areas of life where conditions are not always what they seem.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Neptune's placement in the natal chart points to conditions which are difficult to diagnose, or are wrongly diagnosed. It has rulership over the aura and etheric body. Its afflictions denote laxity and weakness of the vital force, and subnormal conditions, as lack of development, undersized body or organs. Its placement in the chart and hard aspects has a strong rule over wasting of tissues leading to decay and disintegration. Its pathological manifestations are lethargy, drug abuse, intoxication, and general lack of tone throughout the body.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY: Pineal gland, appendix, right-brain function.

NEPTUNE in SCORPIO
Neptune in Scorpio, when well aspected, intensifies the emotions of the native and gives a desire to explore into the secrets of nature. It is a good position for those who work in scientific research, chemistry or astrology. It gives energy, enthusiasm and inspirational perception beyond the realm of logic and insures successful accomplishment of whatever is undertaken. When afflicted it indicates a horrible temper of a sensuous and passionate nature. The native's sexual drive is over stimulated with an inordinate desire for sensations. It indicates desire for alcohol or drugs and a tendency to drowning by accident.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Venereal disease, appendicitis.

HERBAL STIMULANTS: Garlic, allspice.

PLUTO
Just as your Sun sign represents your true identity in this life, Pluto's house represents an old pattern of identity from the past. It is a past pattern of life that is carried over into this life. We can say that Pluto's house is that area of life where complete regeneration is needed. Compulsive behavior and even ruthlessness needs to be transformed into willful intentions yielding great powers of perception and insight into the subtle forces of life. Plutonian people can make great healers simply by touch or vision.

The aspects of Pluto to other planets gives an indication as to how that transformation can bring new understanding and regeneration. Whether the aspect is "hard" as in square or opposition, or "easy" as in a trine or sextile, determines whether one has an innate knowing, or will meet some hard karmic destiny. There is an enormous potential for power by discovering those fields of experience in the house of Pluto. It heals when it is tapped.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Medically, Pluto's energy is concerned with eliminative processes, both physical and spiritual. The energy represented by Pluto is life-giving and cleansing. Pluto's transits are said to destroy the old forms in order to bring in the new. It's pathological manifestations are abscesses, malignancies, ulcers, and poisonous bites.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY: Reproduction, defecation, expulsion of waste matter.

PLUTO in VIRGO
Pluto in any sign always represents fundamental change, upheavals, and drastic transformations. Pluto's period in Virgo was 1957-1971. Virgo rules health, practical applications of science and technology, and the work force in general. During the recent Pluto transit in Virgo, the general state of America's health and welfare underwent unprecedented changes, and the once powerful unions experienced great loss of influence. During this time, computers underwent their principal development, revolutionizing business and industry. Automation began to replace human labor. The widespread packaging of food, medicine, and health products blossomed during this time. Televisions were produced in color for mass consumption. Babies born in this area often have never tilled the earth and know little of what components are actually put in their bodies, having grown up in the pre-packaged generation. Antibiotics in feed supplies created the candida epidemic and we now have long term intestinal problems. Virgo rules the intestines.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Cancer.

HOUSE 1
The first house and the sign that rules this house, is also known as the Ascendant or rising sign, or that zodiac point which is actually crossing against the horizon at the exact time of your birth. It denotes your outer personality and physical constitution. The Ascendant is about interaction with you and the environment, the meeting point between the individual and the external world. Its sign denotes the animal heat and corporeal vigor. The planet ruling the sign of the Ascendant is considered one of the principal ruling planets of the horoscope. First house placement is so important, that the degree of the sign rising is treated as though it were a planet with regards to aspects with other planets and with regards to pinpointing details of the health chart of the native - his/her mind, body, strength, diseases subject to, etc. The sign on the Ascendant denotes the body's conductance or resistance to the inflow of prana or vital energy. It is conducted best by fire and air signs; and resistant if the rising sign is of water or earth elements.

In every sense the first house should be called the native's personality as it shows what is on the surface, how you appear to others, how the world sees you or what we call the native. Thus the horoscope is also called the nativity chart. Outsiders are attracted to you by this sign. It accounts for those glaring contradictions we find in human behavior. You may feel yourself as sexy, yet it is not picked up by others or appears that way due to your rising sign's influence, and vice versa. It explains why some people are forever getting in trouble or attracting trouble through no intentions of their own. When the first house contains no planets, it means individuality is not a matter of personal concern, these individuals accept themselves "as is". If the first house contains one or more planets, then the native is consciously concerned about some aspect of his identity. There is some dynamic or hang-up that needs resolution, karmically speaking.

Planets in the first house indicate the native is aggressive and strives to be "first" denoted by the planet or planets posited. These individuals usually have a difficult time resting and relaxing their bodies which they need to learn in order to insure good health. First house people tend to be individualists with a forceful drive and ambition in life.

The first house shows the organic elements, the physiological factors, and the physical characteristics which determine the strength and resistance of the body. The Ascendant and the first house represents the "original impulse of individual being", or the self as a particular vibration and rhythm, and the unique soul destiny of the individual. It indicates essentially the type of experience through which he/she will best discover who they are. The zodiacal sign on the Ascendant normally tells us the "dharma" of the individual, the central potentiality which the conscious person is seeking to actualize. If there are planets in the first house they indicate the kinds of functions which will be most valuable in the process of discovery of one's authentic being. Thus, the planets and the first house ruling planet show the way to impel performance of specific acts.

One can often discover what zodiacal sign was rising at birth (if time of birth is not known) by studying a person's facial features and expression. The head symbolizes the essential character of the individual. The head is ruled by the first house. The first house rules the body form, constitution, and temperament. The physical appearance, strength and vitality, weight, height, color of hair and eyes, etc. are largely determined by the rising sign, degree rising on the cusp, etc. The position of the first house ruler and planets rising modifies these features. The zodiacal sign ascending denotes the part of the body more liable to affliction from external causes such as trauma and infection.

The benefics, Jupiter and Venus, in the first house at birth indicate a good constitution, whereas the malefics, Saturn and Mars, denote scars, birthmarks, moles and defects of the head. This house at birth, and by direction, signifies all diseases of the head, face, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. This house is closely associated with the feelings, sensations, emotions, manners, passions, and dispositions of the native. In this regards, it explains why the Sun sign does not reflect all the features of the native, and why the Ascendant and the Moon sign are of equal importance in the analysis of the health horoscope.

Regarding the compatibility of healer and patient, the rising sign in each natal map should be in harmony, belonging to the same triplicity, that is in trine or sextile to each other. If the patient has Aries on the Ascendant at birth, his/her healer should also have a fire sign on the Ascendant, as in Leo or Sagittarius. If the healer employed has Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn on the Ascendant it would tend to be adverse, if not in results, certainly in relationship and cooperation. The sextile and trines naturally tend to inspire confidence and faith between healer and patient.

AFFLICTIONS: Head and face, endocrine disturbances which affect the mental states, brain tumors, high fevers, meningitis, migraines.

HEALING COLOR: Indigo

EMPOWERMENT COLORS: White, pink, red, champagne

VIRGO ASCENDANT
Those born during this hour have a craving for knowledge as well as practicality and conservatism. Being inherently mental, these individuals are forever scheming at work, improving conditions and transactions. Ideas and projects seem to take up every waking moment. Many are super salesman, efficient negotiators, and good health care providers. Being natural critics, they are prone to worry and anxiety. This sign rules the small intestine, making them prone to intestinal upset and duodenal ulcers. As these individuals have a tendency to be overly concerned with health, diet and hygiene, many of them become hypochondriacs.

This position tends to indicate very thin, delicate, and tender skin. Most people with Virgo rising are slim, and even the fat ones look thin from the back until you see the pot belly in front. They stay slim from worry, with their face showing the usual pensive and worried expression. They should learn to dress well so that their disproportional body will not show. Virgos can be either meticulous dressers or absolute slobs. They should avoid taking medications for the bowels, especially laxatives, antacids, etc., as it weakens them even further. Virgos are typically susceptible to suggestion, especially in health matters and should choose their doctors carefully.

The rising sign is divided into thirds, or 3 "decanates", which have a powerful influence over the appearance and form of your body. The sign is simply divided into three 10° aspects as follows: 0-10° first decanate, 11-20° second decanate, and 21-30° third decanate. Each decanate is ruled over by a planet. The first ten degrees is ruled over by the indigenous sign ruler, the second takes on the qualities of the next elemental ruler, and the third the successive element sign ruler. Thus, the first decanate of Aries is ruled by its Mars, the second takes on the qualities of Leo, and the third would combine the qualities of Aires and Sagittarius, and so on throughout the zodiac. Simply locate the first house on your natal chart and note which degree is rising in the sign listed. This gives you your decanate. If in the last few degrees of the sign, e.g. 26° or more, you would also take on characteristics of the first decanate of the following sign.

FIRST DECANATE APPEARANCE: Virgo usually gives a slight, sensitive, elegant body which is often tall. The eyes are fine but show melancholy, the nose sometimes aquiline (eagle like), and the mouth has a full bottom lip.

MOON in 1st HOUSE
The Moon is the first house is where vibrations are keenly felt and affect the constitution of the body. When the Moon is rising at birth there is a very restless nature, and one is constantly endeavoring to change position, environment and occupation. People with the Moon in the first house are usually sensitive, especially if the Moon is in the psychic signs of Cancer or Pisces. They have very vivid imaginations and are quite intuitive. This position of the Moon has a powerful influence upon health, especially in a woman's horoscope, and the aspects that the Moon receives determine the strength of the constitution. It is also a sign of success in occupations that bring the person in close touch with the public. Persons so posited are usually ambitious, observant, ingenious, and considerate of the feelings of others. The great weakness of those who have the Moon in this position is wanderlust. Unless this roaming tendency is curbed, and the native strives to cultivate stability of purpose, the greater part of life may be spent in useless wandering.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Early childhood conditions and family affairs have a strong impact on their development. Their personality and physical appearance are subject to constant change.

Natives with this configuration are usually very verbose, likely to have strong and active minds with the need to communicate their feelings. They are not reliable because of their tendency to change their minds repeatedly in the most unexpected manner.

The adverse aspects of Saturn square the Moon are not favorable for the health, particularly in a woman's horoscope. It indicates obstructions of the female functions. In the man's horoscope it may deny marriage or indicate the death of the marriage partner.

KARMIC LESSON: Fear of expressing what one truly is; fear of criticism, of being wrong, or of inadequacy leading to inhibitions. One must take risks in self-expression or embark on new modes of life in order to truly realize what one is capable of doing.

KARMIC TENDENCIES: Awareness of spiritual realms with resultant fearlessness about matters of death and life after death.

HOUSE 2
The second house rules material matters, property, wealth or poverty, etc. It denotes the level of acquisitiveness as a driving force, or the level of greed for power and wealth. This tends to affect the native's homeostasis since possessions are related to the value placed on food and nutrition, habits in acquiring food and other immediate necessities of life. The pituitary gland, which controls all endocrine glands, falls under this house.

The belief or realization for those so gifted, adds another dimension to understand second house questions. One's tendencies, faculties, and karma produced from past lives and carried over into the present rests with the concept of management, that is, intelligent use of one's inheritance, possessions, artistic talents, or even inventions. The second house can show the mere fact of ownership in today's essentially "unspiritual society", or one who lives according to spiritual values and surrenders to mankind assets to promote human evolution. It shows then if a person can advance beyond the traditional use of possessions, or is acting merely as an agent for the "ghosts of karma" (Geg in Tibetan), with a life filled by ancestors, driven by socio-religious hatreds and fears.

When no planets occupy this house, it indicates the native does not see money as a major issue in life. With planets in this house, the affairs of other houses which those planets rule are brought to bear influence on the matter of obtaining money. For example, if Saturn is in your second house, tenth house matters, such as your profession, is where the money will easily flow from.

People with planets in the second house have overwhelming desires to prove their self-worth, establish themselves in society by big factors as indicated by the house rulers outlined above. For example, if the Moon is in the second house, fourth house matters like the home are important and the native will desire a big home or big family. After having established their nest eggs, (with the personal planets Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter placed in this house) gluttony is not uncommon. The native will also learn the karmic problem of this house - happiness is the one thing that cannot be bought.

AFFLICTIONS: Problems with homeostasis - blood and electrolyte changes, intake of nutrients - diabetes, obesity, hypoglycemia; disorders arising from vaccination.

HEALING COLOR: Yellow

EMPOWERMENT COLORS: Green, lemon, citrine, brown

JUPITER in 2nd HOUSE
Jupiter in the second house, when well-aspected, particularly by the Sun or Moon, indicates great financial prosperity in life and for those who like to succeed on their own. The influence of Jupiter in the second house suggests opportunity to travel or trade in foreign goods and services as a means of livelihood. This is a fortunate position even when Jupiter is afflicted, but the native can be liable to loss under bad directions. When Jupiter is unaspected by any planets, the person may actually be destitute.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Swollen glands around the throat, puffy neck; obesity.

JUPITER conjunct NEPTUNE
Jupiter conjunct Neptune indicates a native with a fertile imagination, and extreme emotional sensitivity, if not psychic abilities.

HOUSE 3
Astrology speaks of the third house as that of brothers and sisters, and close relatives. It actually means the earliest newborn environment and of one's grown relationship to it. The relationship of the child to his/her environment is basic and substantial in the formation of his/her character, and of responses to life. The third house refers to the early environment and to persons who acted within it - close relatives, guardians, siblings, etc. It also shows in the child "coming to terms" which is at first entirely unconscious and instinctual, later becoming the foundation for human intelligence, and consciousness.

No planets in the third house means response in a natural fashion. One or more planets in the third house indicates a self-conscious need to express thoughts. It may sometimes indicate speech difficulties. The native is often asked too often to help other people, brothers and sisters. The disease of "other people" can lead to great frustrations and nervous stress. These individuals need to learn to say no, take regular breaks in peace and quiet, take short naps after lunch, etc. for the health to improve.

Malefic planets in this house tend toward mental instability and chaos unless well aspected. It shows traumatic experiences such as child abuse, fights with siblings, rebellion, etc. What differentiates this house from its opposite, the ninth house, is that of experiences involving direct personal contact with the close environment of the individual, resulting in habits and proclivities. It indicates physical actions, and transportation, especially within your immediate environment. Benefics in this house, when well aspected, indicate a well balanced mind. It rules the fingers, hands, chest, lungs, the lower mind and wakefulness.

AFFLICTIONS: Disturbed breathing rhythms, reduced vitality, lack of oxygenation, nervous tension, mental instability.

HEALING COLOR: Orange

EMPOWERMENT COLORS: Yellow, indigo, white with red

LIBRA on 3rd HOUSE
The third house deals with the native's immediate speaking, writing, and communications audience in his/her immediate work or professional environment. Libra ruling the third house suggests individuals who are very sociable and aim to please. They generally have good relationships with their brothers and sisters and neighbors. Afflictions in this house may indicate sibling or neighborhood disagreements because they native is argumentative or cool and indifferent.

NEPTUNE in 3rd HOUSE
Neptune in the third house indicates those who are intelligent, yet apt to be mentally lazy. It indicates ability in inspirational writing and speaking, high ideals, and a devotional mind. It indicates individuals who form particularly sensitive, perhaps clairvoyant, relationships with their siblings, or if neglected, may indicate drug abuse of the siblings. If afflicted, the mind is of a low order, cunning, sometimes imbecile and idiotic, with weird and uncanny feelings and perverted appetites. Their mental confusion drives the native to drink to calm unconscious fears. Neptune here also indicates many journeys, frequently by water, but whether or not they are successful depends upon the aspects.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Neurosis, mental chaos.

NEPTUNE sextile PLUTO
Neptune sextile Pluto is an aspect of extremely long duration that has lasted for some 30 years since April 1973. It has presented constant opportunities for prosperity by unusual and aesthetic endeavors affecting humanity at this time. Universal love (Neptune) with Plutonian power has paved the way for secret inventions, free energy devices, contacts with aliens and spirits that will either mean future utopia or nearly total destruction of humanity as we know it today, as Pluto also rules atomic energy.

HOUSE 4
The fourth house is said to have two basic meanings - the soil or secure foundation in which man is rooted; and the "heart" or fundamental rhythm of the individual self. It is indeed the Nadir of the chart, the midnight point of consciousness, where "God-experience" can be had. The vertical line of the birth chart - Zenith to Nadir - points upwards to the sky (Zenith) and downward through the spinal column at the center of the globe. Unity comes by centering one's "Hara" or vital energy with that of the Earth.

Its sign and planets refer to the kind of feeling which spontaneously mobilizes and directs the energies of the organism, often called "gut feeling". The Ascendant tells who we are, while the Nadir shows what we are, at least potentially, where we stand. It is the power implied in "being a person", yet in today's global economy it is basically conditioned, if not entirely determined, by socio-cultural patterns and media manipulation, rather than by ancestral family values. Thus it indicates the beginning as well as the end of various cycles in the native's life, including old age, the end of life and death, the various conditions which affect the close of life, its diseases, worries, wealth or poverty, etc. The nature of the end of life will be told by the planets in this house, and the sign on which the cusp begins the part or organ where the complaint will lie.

If there are no planets in the fourth house, the native accepts his background and family and makes the best of it. If there are one or more planets in the fourth house, then conscious attention is directed towards his background. He/she has reasons to question, if not doubt family matters. Some may have unfortunate liabilities to overcome before they make headway in life. Malefics in this house can indicate early childhood traumas which are best recalled and cleared by past life regression. Neurosis can result from repressed anger. Parental attitudes and conditioning have led to unhealthy if not neurotic habits. All these matters of childhood trauma and abuse are judged by the fourth house.

At the biological level, the fourth house symbolizes the acquirement of nutrients to satisfy basic physiologic needs to meet daily routines and obstacles. It is the energy needed for intercellular exchanges and for adjusting the body to changes in temperature and the demands of the physical environment. It rules over the body water, interstitial fluid, and lymphatic environment. In a mentally and emotionally developed person, one's personal power (Hara) is available for self-expression and social contact. In an undeveloped or immature being, confusion sets in with mixed impulses carried over from previous lives and those values family and society has forced upon the individual. This results in oral fixations, hormonal imbalances, lymphatic stasis and obesity. It is a being out of rhythm, breathless, confused and never satiated.

This house rules the breasts, lungs, stomach; inheritance; the birthplace and home place; the mother in the male chart and father in the female chart. Benefics in this house at birth indicate that the native should live in his native homeland, if possible, for insured good health and fortune, leading to a happy end of life. Malefics here point to a short life of the mother or father, according to the sex of the horoscope; disease, distress, and worry in old age.

AFFLICTIONS: Oral fixations, overeating, nutritional disturbances, obesity, anorexia; diseases of the stomach, breasts, and lungs.

HEALING COLOR: Violet

EMPOWERMENT COLORS: Silver, green, russet, brown

SAGITTARIUS on 4th HOUSE
The fourth house is the area of private concerns, emotional security and how we inwardly feel about ourselves. If there are no planets in this house, there are generally no problems in the way these individuals accept themselves. The cusp on this house shows the general tempo of the subjective self. Sagittarius ruling the fourth house indicates natives who regard themselves as optimists. It indicates the native came from a family of positive thinkers with established codes of behavior, whether religious or cultural. Afflictions to this house may mean the native was raised with little or no discipline, as in a troubled youth.

SATURN in 4th HOUSE
Saturn in the fourth house indicates gain from inheritance, those who enjoy very stable family relationships, also success from investments and administration of houses and lands, agriculture or mining property. If afflicted, these individuals may have difficulties in connection with property, inheritance and mines, and much domestic trouble. They foster great concern about their childhood. When adversely aspected, it indicates the early death of one of the parents. As adults they may be strict and inflexible in their own domestic environment, having the same negative and karmic effects upon their children. These individuals need to learn how to handle hardships related to home and family in order to achieve future happiness. This position, whether well or ill aspected, tends to make the native a recluse in the latter years of life. The native's success grows better as life advances.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Achlorhydria, dyspepsia, distention of the stomach, catarrh; breast nodules, swollen glands; hereditary dispositions, illness in old age.

PSYCHIC PURIFICATION:
Dyspepsia: Gut level fear, dread, anxiety coupled with chronic complaining. The message here is to learn to chew one's food thoroughly as one digests the new experiences in life.

Breast nodules, swollen: Overprotecting, over mothering, not nourishing the self. The message here is to learn to let go and trust the processes of life.

HOUSE 5
At its highest potential, the fifth house shows the exteriorized power and a projected vision originating from a realm that is "super personal". The person thus becomes an agent for some great collective consciousness or planetary, evolutionary purpose. He/she becomes a lens through which light is condensed and brought into focus, at which point power can operate and work can be performed. This creative process, work, and its products are conditioned by the nature and temperament of the person. The person acts strictly as an individual. To the extreme, he/she expects results that will bring fame, prestige, and ego-satisfaction.

The fifth house is the area of experiences which are essentially the outcome of emotions, as distinguished from gut feelings of the fourth house. Feelings are spontaneous reactions, whereas emotions seek an exteriorization, or "moving out" with synchronous organic changes and muscular movements. The fifth house is associated with gambling in any form, for money, business ventures, romance, etc. whenever one follows hunches, inner frustrations, or imagination.

Traditionally, the fifth house is considered to the be the section of the birth chart (radix) referring to love affairs, versus a seventh house marriage. Fruitful signs and planets here denote many children, barrens signs and planets here tend to deny children. This house rules the back, spine, liver, stomach, appetites, loves affairs and sexual appetites. This house is said by some to rule the soul.

Each house of the radix refers to power and unfoldment, as well as some great test of the developing individual. The zodiac sign on the cusp of this house and planets within should give the student of astrology clues as to the best way in which he or she can solve problems creatively. The Chinese character for danger, also means opportunity, depending solely on one's perspective and ability to be creative. The test of the fifth house is that of isolation, or emergence as a unique and valuable human being. The test of the second house is that of ownership and possessions. In the third house it is thought and how to handle ideas to approach challenges of one's environment. The fourth house test is that of stability. The fifth is creative self-expression.

No planets in this house means the native has little attraction to fifth house matters. He/she can take gambling or leave it. One or more planets in this house shows the native has a natural interest in art, pleasure, children, romance, or gambling. These natives may feel a great need for love. Their ailments can come from chaotic affairs leading to frustrated and fragmented lives. The root cause is insecurity. Naturally, the houses ruled by the planets in the fifth house contribute and inspire all fifth house creativity.

AFFLICTIONS: Heart disease (with malefics in this house), overeating, egomania, spinal disorders, liver problems, arteriosclerosis, hypertension.

HEALING COLOR: Purple

EMPOWERMENT COLORS: White, gold, green, red

CAPRICORN on 5th HOUSE
The fifth house is where the ego extends into so-called pleasurable pursuits. The native is apt to take fifth house matters seriously, being prudish about sex and romance. Relationships with children are apt to burdensome or denied altogether. The native has trouble finding a suitable marriage partner and is prone to separation or even a premature death of the spouse. The later years of life are apt to be more cheerful than earlier years.

HOUSE 6
The sixth house implies a crisis of perception, the period of personal readjustment, the time in one's life when one is forced to realize what he/she has done and whether success has come to rest or to haunt. Once a work is completed, the composer is often painfully aware of how it could have been produced better. A person's inner worth is often revealed when faced with experiences and periods of inadequacy, frustration, or defeat. These crises take their toll upon the body, require guts and fortitude, and great reserves of vitality. This house represents fundamentally, everything that deals with personal crises, the way to best meet them, and the direction of personal growth and transformation. The sixth house is somewhat karmic in nature by its perception or reason for duties, debts, and obligations.

The sixth house is known as the "house of health" and the sign on the cusp of this house indicates which body parts and organs prone to disease and affliction. Illness may be the direct result of some defeat of the vital energies unable to cope with a challenge to grow stronger, or an attempt by the soul to show a need for a revision in attitude. The sixth house shows a response of the individual to a social situation. Also, as a patient, one should not consult with a doctor whose natal Saturn is in the sixth house of the native, as one will find incompatibility or may even be poisoned by medication.

Natives with planets in this house may have a lack of self-esteem, be plagued by guilt, or seek the approval of others. All these negative emotions affect the health with nerve related ailments, blood sugar problems, and intestinal disorders.

Benefic planets ruling this house or planets in this house show better health, while malefics afflict the mind and body. The sixth house in a broad sense governs disease, especially if there are planets in it at birth. It particularly rules the abdomen, belly and intestines, food affecting conditions of health, healers and physicians. The sixth house also rules aunts and uncles, servants, persons in employ, kindred on the father's side, small animals and pets of the native.

AFFLICTIONS: Hereditary diseases, general ill-health; abdominal disease.

HEALING COLOR: Aquamarine

EMPOWERMENT COLORS: Black, amber, scarlet, brown, dark blue

AQUARIUS on 6th HOUSE
The sixth house deals with careers, routines, and health. The natives' obligations to others as well as themselves appear in this house. Aquarius ruling the sixth house indicates a native requiring complete independence and reliance on the ingenuity of solutions when it comes to assignments. The native becomes restless and bored when it comes to repetitive tasks and prefers unusual types of work. Their health likewise tends to be erratic and they may suffer from some nervous conditions. In this house of foods there are erratic mood swings and appetites. Many prefer vegetarianism, while others dine out on junk food for days on end. There is also a tendency to crave salt resulting in mineral imbalance and tissue dehydration.

HOUSE 7
The seventh house is closely related to the sign Libra, and thus marriage and partnership, the husband in a female nativity, and the wife in a male nativity are also related. This house shows the test of functional cooperation and participation between individual and society. Function suggests purpose, both inherent and potential, in man or woman. Purpose is only revealed as one operates within the group or global economy. It is the field of human experience that the person can be most basically transformed and can gain freedom. Planets in this house reveal compelling pressures and motives for destiny. In such cases, individuals may find themselves driven to enter into certain types of relationships as part of their destiny.

While the first house represents how the native appears to others, the fourth house shows how the natives sees himself or herself, the seventh house represents how others appear to the native. It represents those whose lives touch the native and how they respond. If the house is unoccupied by planets, he/she is comparatively free of the influence of others in most of his/her affairs. These individuals do pretty much as they please, but it also means others do not generally help them either. The affairs of this house are always related to the area of another house where the ruler of the sign on the seventh cusp lies. If there are one or more planets in this house, the native is consciously dependent on others in some respect and other people tend to control his/her affairs. Natives with planets in this house may find it difficult to "stand on their own two feet". They feel accomplishments need to come through other people or their partners or spouses. The Sun located here is indicative of good health, while Saturn signifies a potential for a short life. Mars here, indicates a bad wife and sickness.

The seventh house also denotes the type of physician or healer required in health matters. It is important that the healer is compatible with the native depending on the illness. One should avoid healers who have Saturn on the Ascendant or sixth house of the patient. The following may be found useful:

PISCES on 7th HOUSE
The seventh house deals with other people in the native's life, particularly those that attract attention as well as direct personal relationships. Pisces ruling the seventh house indicates natives that will attract persons not as well organized as themselves and are a bit mysterious or illusive. These natives are rather quiet and difficult for others to understand. Marriage is highly developed with perceptive intuition in both partners. If afflicted, there is the possibility that their partner may be emotionally disturbed due to drug addiction or disability.

HOUSE 8
This house, its cusp, and the planets located in it, indicate how a person can best approach opportunities and the resistance involved in bringing relationships into a fruitful situation. These relationships can mean marriage, partnerships, and business associations. The second house refers to private assets, or what can be used to actualize one's birth potential. The eighth house deals with business contracts and agreements that are legally binding. The eighth house field of experience deals with trust, management, and responsibility. The second house deals with personal management, whereas the eighth house with proper management of business assets, profits and losses. It indicates where binding agreements will bring legacy. It may also mean death followed by rebirth, or the kind of disagreements which bring unresolved frustrations and a future surrounded with karmic ghosts. With such a native, emotional scarring tends to be hidden. These individuals have a burning need to purge themselves of past memories which brutally punish their bodies for years. Many succumb to chronic ailments around the ages of 42 to 49 years old. With the background of this emotional insecurity, they push hard for overt success, only for their bodies to crack up under the pressure. Sex is often their only form of organic release.

If the eighth house is unoccupied by planets, the native takes emergencies in stride and usually faces crises with appropriate action. If the house is occupied, eighth house matters are of serious concern for the native.

ARIES on 8th HOUSE

Aries ruling the eighth house indicates the native is bound to face some grueling changes which challenge the personal identity. These individuals may be dragged into confrontations not of their own making, but which may result in opportunistic change or profit. There is also the possibility of accidents and illnesses which may change the native's entire life. The native's inner strength comes from courage.

HOUSE 9
Experiences and the tests related to the ninth house are those periods encountered by the individual to find the meaning of things. The act of knowing belongs in the third house because it implies mere contact with the immediate environment. It is knowledge derived merely from sensations. The ninth house relates to understanding, a far more complex process which involves synthesis of many factors and data. The German term "gestalt" applies to the ninth house as a type of knowing, understanding, and referencing holistic experiences derived from mystical and philosophical inquiry.

The ninth house is the house of symbols and words. Symbols have to be interpreted. The radix chart is a set of symbols relating to the location of planets and stars at the time of birth. It symbolizes the complex relationship existing between the native and the universe. Likewise, all religious concepts and mystical visions are symbolic of man-to-universe relationships. To speak of a "God Experience" is a typical ninth house activity, a unity which the person projects and asks for answers for all his conceivable needs.

The danger one faces in ninth house experiences is over-expansion caused by ambition and greed for power and power symbols, such as money. Ambition is the negative aspect of this house, leading to compulsive egocentric relationships that use other people for power or prestige. Knowledge is used to achieve power. It is this type of knowledge our society holds in high esteem. Ours is a society imbued with competition and ambitions, worshipping success and power with no concern for the environment and health of society as a whole. Thus the relationships become perverted, destructive and inharmonious to a wholesome life. In such a society, the mind is used as the instrument of success. Group relationships translate into compulsive cooperation, mandated actions, and forced taxation. It implies twisting the laws, natural as well as political, so they become tools for gathering wealth. This is the mind of the politician, the corporate leader, the scientist in search of inventions and discoveries for personal fame.

If the house is unoccupied by planets, the native finds it easy to accept certain philosophical principles or cause of religion, and there is no resistance to understanding higher principles. If the house is occupied, the native is concerned with philosophical formulations or developed principles. Due to this high thinking, people with benefics in this house are some of the least likely to have health complaints.

The ninth house denotes the fundament, hips, thighs, hams, higher mind, dreams and visions. Malefics in the ninth house at birth tend to disturb and unbalance the mind, or cause religious excitement and fanaticism, unorthodox views, and trouble with religious authorities. It also points to dangers in foreign travel, injury or ill-health, or even death abroad. It is advised that persons with malefics at birth with no benefics in this house should remain in their native land.

ARIES on 9th HOUSE
The ninth house has to do with our higher ideals and ability to heal by faith. Aries ruling the ninth house indicates natives that look for commanding leaders or teachers who will show them which direction to take. These individuals are not prone to accept traditional religious dogma. As a rule these people are quite spiritual and believe that all things begin and end in the Eternal.

MARS in 9th HOUSE
Mars in the ninth house, when well-aspected, indicates a liberal, broad and progressive viewpoint of the native upon all problems of life. These natives concentrate much energy and vitality on higher education or specialized training. People with Mars in this position are likely to support a cause whose object is to uplift mankind, socially or spiritually. They are fond of a moving and benefit by changing from one place to another, especially by travel in foreign lands. They have a clean, clear and alert mentality, to the point of a "one track mind", and a special way of presenting their views to others. If Mars is afflicted here, it indicates a bigoted and fanatical native, shunned by most who come in their contact, whether they are religious or atheistic. People with Mars afflicted in the ninth house should remain in their native place, for they will always be in some danger of accidents on journeys. They are also liable to some form of litigation and should be careful to those whom they insult.

PSYCHIC PURIFICATION:
Anxieties: Not trusting the flows and processes of life. The resolution is to approve of yourself and trust the processes as righteous opportunities.

MARS square URANUS
Mars square Uranus indicates an erratic and eccentric disposition. These individuals are prone to have violent tempers and stubborn determination. These natives can be cruel, hard and cold yet when in love they may be inflamed with passion of the most burning intensity. In a woman's horoscope Mars square Uranus usually leads to seduction no matter which sign is posited. Inexplicable changes in moods and ill-health are characteristic.

HOUSE 10
In the tenth house an individual meets experiences which result from his/her successes or failures in gaining social, public or professional position. He/she is integrated, or fails to become integrated into the social collective and public status in the community. It is one's "office" which defines one's stand in the community. First house potential becomes actualized in the tenth, if all has gone well during the unfoldment of preceding houses. It is a house of vitalistic functions, being on the Midheaven or zenith. The tenth house, the house of Midheaven, corresponds to the sign Capricorn. It rules the knees, hamstrings and thighs.

In the male nativity it rules the father, in the female nativity the mother and the affairs of the mother.

If the tenth house is unoccupied by planets, the native's ambitions and their probable outcome are more directly related to that area of his affairs where the ruling planet falls where the tenth house cusp is found. If the house is occupied, the native has a conscious struggle both to formulate his ambitions and put them across to other people. Any planet in the tenth house reveals more of the outcome of this house than the actual sign or "house rulership. " Planets in the tenth house contribute directly to the native's position in life. Their worries, internal pressures and incessant need to work hard may drive them into chronic illness.

HOUSE 11
In the eleventh house, the power of society, as a collective or group, is released through the individual. The power is released through the activities the individual performs within the social unit such as in their profession, church, club, fraternity, etc. Success is seen pleasurable in the social environment as his/her work and prestige unfolds. The experience gained in the tenth house makes it possible to set new social objectives, new professional goals, or to relax in the company of one's peers or fellow workers. This house has much to do with an individual's attitude towards achievement and social success. It is the use a person makes of either achievement or failure which establishes his/her self-worth. Success or failure brings into the total being the way one lives, feels, and acts and thus has great influence on the health of the native. Success as well as failure must be used wisely, significantly, and creatively. Regression therapy can do much to undo the patterns that led to failure, or perceived failure can be unfolded into a new dynamic.

If the eleventh house is unoccupied, the native does not consciously need friends to share his/her wishes or hopes. Those who have planets in the eleventh house always work best within groups united for a common purpose. The eleventh house is affiliated with Aquarius and rules the legs, calves and ankles.

When Venus is adversely aspected to Mars, Uranus or Neptune it indicates unreliable, eccentric or seductive friends.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Varicose veins and edema of the legs.

VENUS square JUPITER
Venus square Jupiter gives the same self-indulgent and material fondness as the good aspects, but limits the ability to satisfy them.

HOUSE 12
At the twelfth house, the sky comes to an end, as one has performed his social or professional work in the eleventh. It is described as the house which closes the human cycle of life. They are either the Angels of Light beckoning to the beyond, or they are the dark Guardians of the Threshold, whose memories are shaped by frustrations, denials in life, fears and sins of omission. In the twelfth house we meet the results of our passive acceptance of that which was, or our spiritual rebellion that helped make a new world. We face the karma of society in a subconscious manner, or we face the karma of individuals who fought society for selfish interests, or for the sake of a better world.

The collective power of memories are witnessed in the twelfth house. What is called karma may be so great that it stifles the individual identity of the newborn, or drowns out the rhythm of a new cycle of the man facing the probability of rebirth. This results in the new cycle, becoming no more than a repeat of the last cycle. According to ancient Indian philosophy, the last thought held in death determines the pattern of the future incarnation. One of the stranger characteristics of our linear, Western society is its inability to think in terms of cyclical processes. Such a denial can be traced to a religious decision of the Council of Constantinople in the 5th century A. D. which prohibited the belief in reincarnation and other factors that began the era of the dark ages.

The twelfth house relates to sorrow, disappointment, loss, misfortune, the private hells, anguish, solitude or confinement, hidden fears and worry. It is considered by some as an "evil house", the house of restrictions and limitations, and detrimental spiritual or psychic conditions of the native. It is related to the sign Pisces. Its placement suggests the best way to deal with one's ghosts and products of the subconscious. The best way to deal with a shadow is to illuminate it by the use of lights focused upon it from a number of different directions. This process is utilized in past life regression therapy. Ghosts and shadows of the subconscious will vanish when subjected to the light of understanding and compassion.

If this house is unoccupied by planets, the native is generally not consciously confronted with its implications. He does not live in fear and accepts and works within the framework of his destiny. Not everyone in life is confronted with the spiritual issues of the twelfth house. Many indeed pass through life facing the material consequences of their conscious ambitions as revealed by the tenth house. If the twelfth house is occupied, the native has some matters in which to confront and work out as shown by the houses ruled by the occupying planets. The sign on the cusp of the twelfth shows the general tempo of inner spiritual matters in the native's life. Planets here indicate forms of introversion with emotions that build up until some form of illness manifests. Talking about their feelings through past life regression is the best remedy for twelfth house individuals. They need to learn that harboring envy, jealousy, and hatred invariably brings disease and misfortune. The karmic law applies.

AFFLICTIONS: Auto immune disorders, reduced thymus functions from negative thoughts; afflictions, hurts and injuries of the feet; lymphatic congestion; worry, brooding, despair and despondency.

HEALING COLOR: Lemon

EMPOWERMENT COLORS: Green, blue, white

LEO on 12th HOUSE
The sign on the cusp of the twelfth house shows the general tempo of the native's inner spiritual values and motivations in life. These subconscious values and tendencies support the affairs and people in the native's life. Leo ruling the twelfth house indicates the native assumes a certain egotistical assumption of the astonishing inner strength upon which to draw when tested. Their self-undoing is hidden pride. They try to conceal what hurts or bothers them.

URANUS in 12th HOUSE
Uranus in the twelfth house indicates loss of reputation, exile, and estrangement from one's relatives or country, sickness at various times of life and confinement in hospitals. This position also indicates peculiar psychic or magical experiences at some point in life. These individuals must learn to properly relax, and many of them develop an interest in meditation or other methods that help them achieve inner peace and tranquillity. If afflicted it indicates confinement in prison at some period of the life, or restraint in a sanitarium on account of mental trouble. They are prone to much annoyance by the nefarious actions of others, or sudden illness. The job and health of a marriage partner is vulnerable to sudden or unexpected change. When well-aspected it brings success in connection with secret organizations or institutions, also by the invention of chemical or electrical processes which remain trade secret instead of being protected by patent. These people may be haunted all through life by a vague fear of impending disaster or disease.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Insomnia; cramps in the feet.

SUN in 12th HOUSE
This Sun position denotes great internal struggles as this is the house of the subconscious and where our negative thoughts and deep secrets reside. It is said to be the house through which so-called evil karma is reaped. It brings with it a danger of conflict with authority. It is the signature of the lonely soul, who as a recluse shuts oneself from society. If afflicted by Mars, Saturn or Uranus the whole life may be one of sorrow and misery. Yet, well-aspected by Venus, Jupiter or Saturn, the native will be capable of much self-sacrifice. The sign the Sun occupies should be carefully studied. Thus when in Aries, trouble through persons in authority is indicated; in Taurus, trouble in financial matters, or unexpected loss through secret enemies; and so on with the rest of the signs. This position favors work in hospitals, through chemistry and laboratory work, or work with prisoners. It gives a love of the occult and leads to curious lines of research.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: This house indicates an individual whose ego is anchored more in what he has lost rather than what he will gain. Some may be so estranged from human contacts they may never really come to know or fully understand their real desires or personality. If the native displays leadership, it will be from behind the scenes. The native can have powerful secret enemies.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Lowered vitality and poor health, especially in men; anxiety; chronic disease prone to confinement and hospitalization; melancholy; weak eyesight; insomnia.

PSYCHIC PURIFICATION:
Aging, premature: Old social beliefs and fear of being one's self. The resolution is to love and accept yourself as who you are. Past life regression should prove most helpful.

Anxieties: Not trusting the flow and processes of life. The resolution is to approve of yourself and trust the processes as righteous opportunities.

SUN square MARS
The Sun square Mars indicates a native with an abundance of energy, and the faculty of leadership. The native has an extreme temper but holds no resentment. Sun opposite Mars indicates that whether by choice or circumstance these individ
