Classical Medical Astrology cover

This book is a translation of the original, in Dutch, brought about by the overwhelming demand of his English speaking students. Books have been written about herbs with a little astrology added, about outer planets with a little naturopathy added, and about the astrological symbolism of body parts and functions. But none of these books is really about classical medical astrology: practical diagnosis and treatment on the basis of charts. Medical astrology has always been an integral unity of astrological diagnosis and treatment based on the planetary positions. This integral and seamless unity is the central theme in this book, which picks up the thread of the great tradition which ended temporarily in seventeenth century England. It is now undergoing a revivial as modern astrologers rediscover the authenticity and value of the classical techniques.

Clearly written, the book shows methods for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. It is a simple book to follow and it allows virtually any astrologer who can read a chart to bring healing to themselves and others. It's a lovely practical book, but one that also gives insights into traditional techniques and philosophies. It gives greater depth than may be thought at first glance...if you are interested in classical medical astrology and wish to learn how you can apply it in a practical way to everyday life, then this is the book for you.
