A Handbook of Medical Astrology

This is the most comprehensive and generous book on the topic of Medical Astrology I've found. The author covers so many areas of a vast subject and gives wonderful road signs to facilitate more learning for the reader.

If I had to chose one medical astrology book, this would be it. Well written, with examples and charts. A good reference book. One of the points I liked particularly in this book, is that it provides a valuable information of the Western astro medicine and throws in the authors expertise in the fields of pharmacy plus herbal medical info and gives a guide for practical diagnostics and therapy tools. The author has done a wonderful job putting information already learned in to this book to what she has learned. I like the that the symptoms can be matched with those of the chart which are activated by the transits, progressions, and eclipses at the time they started. Helpful to give a clear pattern to those who are looking at medical charts to help their clients or for self use. This book is a good tool for the library. Covers looking at Past Medical History, Social, Emotional and Event History, times of significant health related issues, and then helps put these all together for the reader.

This is a great resource. As an astrology student studying professionally we covered medical astrology in our course and this book was recommended as additional reading. It added depth to what I had already learnt and is a good resource to have on hand.

I am new to medical astrology. I bought this book based on previous comments. It was very easy to read and explained this difficult subject with ease. Read the previous comments for more info.

For me this will become a reference book but first I will have to read it a couple of more times.More importantly this is a book to be read with a sound background in astrology. So my 4 stars review is due to my ignorance of the subject more than the book in its integrity.It is small and concentrated, making reference to other medical astrologers throughout history and the techniques used. There is a lot of detail but alas, these details will only be savoured when my astrology studies will have tremendously improved.

Easy to read and understand

Good reading.

One of the problems delineating or creating an analysis based on the houses, is misleading. Houses? which one? there are about 22 systems of houses? Even the most popular, Placid s house, can not be delineated for medical diagnostics, because, is only on of many and can not be reliable.

Information is structured very well and in good details.

As said on the back of the book, this is a mine of information and a classic in its field. I've bought other books on medical astrology and though they each contain pertinent information, A Handbook of Medical Astrology covers every facet of the planets and aspects, the signs and houses, as well as the degrees. It's a keeper!!

I found this book excellent.

Excellent
