Medical Astrology and Health Patterns
Medical astrology is not a substitute for medical diagnosis, laboratory tests, or evidence-based treatment.
What the Birth Chart Actually Examines
In Vedic astrology, the birth chart is traditionally read through several lenses: the ascendant, the sixth, eighth and twelfth houses, their ruling planets, and the condition of planets associated with different parts of the body. The Moon, Sun, Mars, Saturn, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are each interpreted according to their placement, strength, and relationship with other planets.
