How Medical Astrology Can Help You Reclaim Your Health and Authenticity

The question I get a lot is what is medical astrology and how can it help me?

After 25 years of massage I was ready for a change. Partly because my body was tired but also because my mind was tired of seeing the same issues on the same clients month after month with no relief. I knew massage was amazing, but it wasn't getting to the root cause of most of my clients issues. Not because I wasn't good at what I did, but because their needs were hidden in their birth chart and I was clueless to this at the time.

After I sold my massage practice I started studying astrology and herbalism separately. Then I ran across medical astrology and it all clicked.

It was a huge 'ah-ha!' moment to say the least.

Medical astrology combines astrology with herbalism and it is the blueprint to your mental and physical health.

So lets start with some basic definitions:

Natal Chart: This is a map of where the planets we at the moment of your birth. You need your birth date, time and location of birth to determine placement of the planets.

Houses: Your natal chart is divided into 12 houses, each house carries a specific archetype that gives us information on your authentic physical, mental, emotional and spiritual ways of being.

Planets: Both archetypal astrology and zodiac astrology looks at 9 planets in total. They are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Each planet has an archetype that both literally and figuratively shows up in our lives. Their relationships with other planets can influence how they show up as well as their placement in each house.

So what does all of this have to do with your health and more importantly your authentic way of being?

Everything.

Your natal chart connects you to the Universe. It is how the Universe is channeled through you. It's such a crazy concept, but I've seen it in action too much to deny that you are the Universe embodied. You carry the energy, lessons and medicine of these planets within you. I know....woo, woo......stay with me. I promise to ground this down into something tangible.

When we use the information of the planets combined with the information of the houses, we get a very clear picture of your authentic way of being in the world.

As we grow up we are given feedback about what works and doesn't work for others. We may compensate our authentic way of being based on this feedback.

Any time we are stifling our authentic way of being we are creating energy drains and blockages in our body. At best, this can lead to fatigue and an general disconnect from life. At worst, this can create serious illness in our bodies.

We are also exposed to physical toxins and injuries that also demand a lot from our energy levels to manage.

Medical astrology looks to address both the physical and energetic aspects to our symptoms, discomfort and illness.

When we use your natal chart to look at the archetypes that are asking to be lived out through your experience we can validate your authentic way of being.

I have a Sun/Uranus conjunction in my 1st house. This is a trifecta that really needs a lot personal freedom. At a young age, I took on a role as a helper and people pleaser, neither of which are inherently bad, but it really cost me my authentic need for personal freedom. This created a whole host of chronic illness that the medical world could never figure out. I got a lot of 'you're fine" and "your blood work looks great, we're not sure whats going on" and "you just need to relax and you'll feel better".

The first time I looked at my chart with a medical astrology lens, it became so clear.

Medical astrology not only validates who we are at our core, before we took on all of the imprinting of our families and communities, it also gives us clear information on what plants are our best allies.

Each house is ruled by a planet and each planet is ruled by an element (earth, fire, water, air). Herbs are the same, they are ruled by a planet and an element. Each organ in your body and condition or set of symptoms is also ruled by planets and elements.

When we gather the information from your chart we use that same information to connect you with your plant allies that have the same ruler ship that your specific physical and energetic symptoms have.

If you have symptoms that align with the sun, we will use herbs that also carry a sun signature. This gets us super specific and super custom herbal remedies for you and your constitution.

This is why two people can take the same herb for the same symptoms and it works for one and not the other. The person it works for had an alignment in their chart with the herb they took.

Medical astrology deeply validates who you are on a soul level. It helps to remove the condition and imprinting you took on to get through life and gives you permission to let go of the things that no longer serve you.

It also gives you plant allies that are specific to you, it is not a one size fits all, take this herb for this condition allopathic application of herbal medicine. It is a tool to align you with medicine that works deep on your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual body to create true, long lasting health.
