Medical astrology is an ancient practice that links the signs of the zodiac and planets to specific parts of the body and functions of the organism. Since ancient times, doctors have had to know astrology to better understand the health and illnesses of their patients. By examining our astrological chart, we can identify sensitive areas of our body and potential health challenges we may face.
To better understand health issues, we look at the Sun sign, the ascendant, Mars, and the rulers of the ascendant and 6th house. We also analyze the oppositions in our astrological chart to identify potential difficulties.

Contrasts and Wellness
Oppositions in the astrological chart can reveal tensions and challenges to our well-being, which are very often a result of some ‘blockages’ that we cause ourselves through anxieties or invalidating beliefs. Let's look at what some of these mean:
Aries-Libra: The opposition between these signs can bring tension between personal desires and relationships. In terms of health, it can lead to headaches or stress from problems balancing personal needs and social obligations.
Taurus-Scorpio: This opposition can bring challenges to relationships and values, affecting security and sexuality. It can cause stress and affect the throat and genitals.
Gemini-Sagittarius: This opposition can bring conflict between thoughts and actions, causing anxiety and problems in the nervous system and also in the hips.
Cancer-Capricorn: Such an opposition can bring tensions between emotions and ambitions, affecting the stomach and bones.
Leo-Aquarius: This opposition can cause conflict between personal and social ambitions, affecting the heart and circulatory system.
Virgo-Pisces: This opposition can bring tensions between logic and emotions, affecting the digestive system and the feet. Skin infections are relatively common.
The above information is a guide to our body's sensitive points, but in no case should we rely on it without studying a detailed natal astrological chart - based on the date, time and place of our birth.
Knowledge of medical astrology can help us to better understand our sensitivities and take preventive measures for our health. However, we should always consult a health professional for any problem.
