Medical Astrology: Health, Disease & Healing in the Birth Chart

About this book

A ground-up rebuild of a 2019 primer into a premium, ~258-page international-standard textbook of medical astrology — the astrology of the body, health, vulnerability, the timing of illness, and traditional healing. Its defining feature: it teaches BOTH traditions side by side, Western (tropical, Hippocratic, Culpeper) and Vedic (sidereal, Jyotiṣa, Āyurveda), and draws EVERY birth chart in both the Western round wheel and the Indian North-Indian diamond — so a reader in the USA and a reader in India can each follow the same worked example. 31 chapters plus a reference appendix, written to a strict medical-ethics standard: non-diagnostic, referral-first, and honest that astrology is a cultural language for the body, not a substitute for medicine.
