UNDERSTANDING THE BODY

A chart that shows houses can reveal important data to assist the astrologer when seeking information about health concerns. The 6th and 12th houses and planets positioned therein should be considered first when suggesting possible health issues. The 6th for initial, early life problems and the 12th for hidden or later-in-life developments.

The astrologer should never analyze a health concern without stating that it is not to be considered as a medical diagnosis, and always urging the subject to refer to a qualified health practitioner.
