"emergency" (according to the doctors) operation. The astrological judgment turned out to be correct: after three months she recovered without surgery.

Astrology allows you to look into the essence of medical prescriptions and evaluate their effectiveness. One of the most important methods for considering maps of such issues is to analyze the receptions between significant significators. Receptions показывают, как подействует назначенное лечение или операция на организм и болезнь. Сигнификатором консервативного (безоперационного) лечения служит управитель X дома, а сигнификатором операции — Mars. Laser therapy belongs to surgery because the laser beam can be compared to a very delicate and precise scalpel.

In order to make a judgment, it is necessary to evaluate the power and strength (that is, the capacity) of the main significator of the question - Lord X or Mars. The effectiveness of a treatment or operation is directly proportional to the amount of essential merit it has: the lower the merit, the weaker the effect. Mars in the sign of its exile in the one2th house does not bode well good: the operation will not give a positive result, because its significator is too weak. But если положение планеты согласуется с ситуацией вопроса, отрицательное указание, основанное на этом положении, аннулируется. So, if the question concerns the feet, the stay of the significator in the XII house (anatomically corresponding to the feet) loses its unfavorable meaning.

Even more important is the reception and disposition of the ruler of the onest house, because the key question always boils down to “How will the treatment or operation affect the state of my body?”. If the significator of the treatment (or operation) is in negative reception with Lord I, this indicates that the treatment (or operation) in question will cause harm to the body. However, we must always consider the situation as a whole. Sometimes the choices available are so limited that we have to accept the inevitable damage that the treatment (or surgery) will do to the body.

The disposition reflects the dominance of some planets over others. If Lord I is in the sign of Lord X's house or exaltation, the querent's body is curable. This is a very auspicious sign.

The significator of disease is another planet whose receptions and dispositions are of great importance. The presence of the significator of the disease in the sign of the abode or exaltation of Lord X or a strong mutual reception between these two planets indicates the effectiveness of the treatment.

But главными показателями остаются Владыка I и Владыка X или Mars. Otherwise, the analysis of horar runs the risk of becoming too confusing. A good example is the chart in which Lord X governs the significator of the disease, taking Lord I into the fall: the disease is curable (which is favorable), but the cure is harmful to the body. The last indication is the most important, but the final decision to carry out a treatment that will eradicate the disease but cause harm to the body must be made after considering the situation as a whole.

In chapter four, we considered a case of acute osteoporosis caused by an overactive thyroid gland, which was disturbed by an excess of yellow bile. Querent asked if she should have the surgery recommended by the doctors. With the Ascendant in Scorpio, Mars could not be the significator of surgery, so we had to find another for this role. planet. This planet could be Lord VI (as the ruler of the place where we use the knife to fight disease), but Mars also ruled the 6th house. Another possibility is the Surgery and Treatment Part. Для дневных карт эта Часть вычисляется по формуле Асцендент + Сатурн — Марс, а для ночных — Асцендент + Марс — Saturn. In our chart, the Part of Surgery and Treatment falls into the oneoneth degree of Libra. Thus the significator of the operation in the chart is Venus, dispositor of the Part of Surgery. We must now analyze how Venus affects Lord I, the body of the querent.

Venus is in Cancer, the debilitating sign of Mars, in which he also has a triplicity dignity. Therefore, the removal of the parathyroid glands recommended by doctors will cause great harm to the body (negative reception by fall), but at the same time will bring him moderate benefits (positive reception by triplicity). As far as possible, the operation should not be done - it will do much more harm than good. A good alternative would be conservative treatment with natural methods. Примечательно, что сигнификатор операции, Венера, в скором времени войдёт в знак Льва, в который только что перешёл сигнификатор болезни, Mercury. This indication is unequivocally unfavorable: Venus follows on the heels of Mercury, and the change of sign gave impetus to the development of the disease. We have every reason to expect that the consequences of the operation will be comparable to those of the transition of Mercury into Leo. The map gives us another strong indication that the operation will not only not bring a positive result, but will harm the patient.

Questions about the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment

The child suffered from chronic sinusitis, which doctors treated with antibiotics and cortisone. Both drugs relieve the symptoms but do not cure the disease. The inflammation kept coming back, and the doctors prescribed more and more and more drugs. Since the question was asked by the patient's mother, the patient's significator is the ruler of the 5th house, responsible for children. This is called the "derived houses" method. If the querent asks a question about another person (called a quesit), the significator of the quesit is the ruler of the house to which he belongs[26].

Lord V - Moon in Pisces. A cold and wet planet in a humorally consonant cold and wet sign. In this case the dispositor of the patient's significator does not always indicate the cause of the disease. But здесь отрицательная рецепция (Скорпион — знак падения Луны) говорит о том, что причина болезни — Jupiter. Fixed Water indicates a stagnant accumulation of a large amount of mucus, and this correctly describes the illness of the child. Последний завершённый аспект Луны — квадратура с Солнцем, что указывает на inflammation. But давайте вернёмся к изначальному вопросу хорара: «Насколько эффективно назначенное лечение?». The ruler of the one0th house derivative (Lord of the one0th from V = Lord II) - Venus in Capricorn - denotes healing. How does Lord II influence Lord V? Being in Capricorn, Venus takes the Moon into exile, and therefore harms the body of the patient. But при этом по экзальтации Венера управляет Рыбами: организм подвластен лечению.

We see that the treatment effectively eliminates the symptoms, but is not able to cope with the disease. The prescribed drugs cool the patient's body, thereby contributing to the further development of the disease. Venus in Capricorn - a cold planet in a cold sign - cannot be an effective remedy for disease caused by excess cold. The ruler of the derivative of the one0th house takes the Moon into exile: the treatment causes harm to the body.

And, finally, another unfavorable indication is the negative reception of the Moon with the significator of the disease, Jupiter in Scorpio, the sign of its fall.

As a result of the astromedical consultation, the situation improved significantly, which is not surprising given the influence of Lord X on the patient's body. Therapy with warming and drying plants and diet helped to evaporate excess phlegm in the body.

CHAPTER oneone. MEDICAL ELECTIONS

Horary method

Elections are a medical astrologer's tool that allows you to find the right moment for an operation or course of treatment. The client asks the astrologer to choose the best time to start the operation or some other procedure. Judgment is made by advancing the corresponding significator (for example, the significator of an operation) to its most favorable position and converting the distance thus obtained into units of time. In most cases, the resulting units of time correspond to the number of weeks or months.

The practicality of the horary chart is that it gives us an approximate, not exact, time. We could determine the exact time using full elections, but that would be of little use in this situation. Elective cards are calculated with an accuracy of up to a minute - after a few minutes, a favorable moment may be missed. Elections suggest that the querent can control the circumstances of the matter - in this case, the conduct of a healing procedure, because only then can it be started at a strictly designated time. The participation of doctors prevents the fulfillment of this condition. Taking pills is one of the few situations where this is practically achievable.

In addition, the elective chart must be consistent with the natal chart of the querent. Otherwise, it will be unreliable and potentially dangerous. Suppose we have built an elective map in which Lords one and X (organism and treatment) are either in strong positive mutual reception or in a favorable dispositional relationship. Everything seems to be just fine, but we must also take into account the natal Lord I of the querent. In most cases, the rulers of the onest house in the elective and natal charts will be different planets. And even more than that, the planets in the elective chart can damage the natal ruler of the Ascendant - that is, the treatment started at the chosen point in time will harm the body of the querent. The construction of an elective chart is impossible without the use of a natal chart, and this applies to all elective charts without exception. Elections based on the position of the Moon are inaccurate and have
