Classical Medical Astrology cover

This insightful book delves into the revival of classical medical astrology, emphasizing practical diagnosis and treatment through astrological charts.

This book serves as a translation of the original Dutch text, prompted by the strong interest from English-speaking students. While there are numerous books that touch upon herbs with a hint of astrology, or delve into outer planets alongside naturopathy, very few focus solely on the essence of classical medical astrology. This field emphasizes practical diagnosis and treatment derived from astrological charts, setting it apart from other writings in the genre.

Classical Medical Astrology presents a comprehensive approach that integrates astrological diagnosis with treatment, all grounded in the positions of the planets. The author explores the historical context of medical astrology, tracing its roots back to a time when it was a cohesive practice. This ancient tradition saw a temporary decline in seventeenth-century England, but the resurgence of interest in classical techniques is evident today as modern astrologers seek to reclaim this valuable knowledge.

The book is structured to provide readers with a deeper understanding of how astrological principles can inform medical practices. By weaving together the threads of history, theory, and practical application, Classical Medical Astrology invites both seasoned practitioners and newcomers to explore the rich tapestry of this discipline. It is a timely contribution to the growing field of medical astrology, encouraging a revival of its authentic techniques and insights.

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.
