PLANETS IN SIGNS

Note: planetary positions by sign do not generally affect the physical health if there are no hard aspects nor placement in the first, sixth, seventh, or twelfth houses.

Aquarius Rising:

You have Aquarius rising, making air your primary element in physical body manifestation. The degree and sign of the ascendant gives the physical body primary center, and there is often a mark on the body at the anatomical point which corresponds to the zodiacal degree of the ascendant. The element of the ascendant will often be the predominant tridosha in the ayurvedic three-element diagnostic system. It is better for health to have the predominant tridosha the same as the ascendant tridosha. Also a physician with the same tridosha is beneficial.

Air as your primary physical element gives a moving, restless or nervous quality to the physical body. Vayu or Vata is the airy component in ayurvedic tridosha and corresponds to the metal element in Chinese medicine. Some of the qualities assigned to water and wood (ligament and tendon integrity) in Chinese medicine are governed by vayu in ayurveda. Air as ruler gives in the best cases strong neurological development and thus practical intelligence, although it can indicate nerve weaknesses, neuromusculoskeletal problems, psychological or circulatory problems. Air is the ruler of the breath impulse or prana, the primary of the five vayus or vital airs, whether found in the respiration of the lungs, the proprioceptive processes related to breathing and balance/orientation, or the work of the kidneys to maintain the balance of blood gases. The vata of Aquarius relates specifically to the rhythmic functions of the circulatory system, the lymphatic system, the nerve system and the cerebrospinal fluid and meningeal system. The electromagnetic field of the body, the cardiac waves and the brain waves are Aquarius ruled. Aquarius is one of the least accident-prone ascendants, perhaps due to cautious nature or mechanical aptitude.

Afflictions in Aquarius affect the ankles and lower legs, also the proprioceptive system, especially the aspects of posture relating to the ankles and the maintenance of the erect posture. Aquarius rules the peripheral vasculature especially the return flow of the venous and lymphatic systems. The gastrocnemius, soleus and tibialis anterior muscles are Aquarian. The structural vertebral levels ruled by Aquarius are second and third lumbar.

Primary reflex arcs are to the heart and its rhythmic foci, with secondary reflexes to the throat, neck and sex organs.

The Spleen meridian, which courses from the big toe upwards anterior to the medial mallleoli of the ankles, up the inner leg and front of abdomen to the medial deltoid margin and down to the lateral thorax, relates to Aquarius in its functions of the destruction of old and inefficient blood cells, as well as the maintenance of lymphatic circulation and water holding. It is considered a solid organ of the earth element. There are important connections to the Bladder and Heart Protector meridians also.

The Aquarius cell salt is Sodium Chloride, common table salt, the salt which effectively maintains the water-holding capacity of the cell and the body as a whole. This salt does its job best when balanced in complexes as are obtained in seaweeds or in seasalt, or excess water-holding will result. Natural sources include celery, beets, tomatoes, water chestnuts, and especially coconut water. Aquarius rules nervines such as valerian, ladies slipper, wood betony, and passionflower. You are on a path of activation and integration of the airs of the body, and these herbs will help maintain the balance.

Cancer on 6th House Cusp:

You have Cancer on the sixth house cusp, making water your element of physical assimilation and adaptation weakness. The degree marks a possible point of physical injury, incapacity, or failure to adapt, especially if there are any afflicted occupants of the sixth or twelfth houses, the moreso if these afflicted occupants are lights (sun or moon) or rulers (of the ascendant, sixth cusp, or of the lights). A physician with the same tridosha as the patient's sixth cusp is beneficial, as is a physician with benefics in the sixth house of the patient, especially if a Venus/Mars conjunction.

Water as your element of weakness can dissipate the fluid, moistening qualities of the physical body. In the ayurvedic system, earth and water are both considered types of kapha, the tridosha of the substance of material body construction. Water or fluid kapha is the most predominant constituent of the body by weight and by volume, essential as it is as the universal solvent with special functions at the levels of membranes, the boundaries within the body. Ultimately the movement of water is governed by air, as evidenced in the kidney/lung blood gases homeostasis. Water governs the secretory functions wherever found, the kapha of Cancer being that of the breasts, stomach, other digestive secretions, the mouth and salivation, axillary perspiration, lymph, serum and of course lacrimation. Cancer rules the softest and most vulnerable tissues of the body. Water in general and Cancer in particular rule the most soluble salts, thus the mineral balance of the nerves and the digestive secretions as well as the electrolytes of the cerebrospinal fluid.

Afflictions in Cancer affect the stomach, breasts, and the secretory and absorptive tissues of the body in general. Cancer connects with every functional protection of that which is soft and vulnerable, and every kind of boundary layer. The diaphragm is ruled by Cancer, as are the sixth and seventh ribs (and ribs in general) where the anterior diaphragm attaches. The vagus nerve with its lunar parasympathetic action, stimulating digestion, and the ulnar nerve of the elbow and lunar mount side of the hand are Cancer ruled. The biceps muscle (although supplied by the solar radial nerve) is the indicator muscle of the stomach. Also ruled by Cancer are the palmar flexors which clasp, grasp, or close the palm. There may be a tendency toward calcification of soft tissues, hyperacidicity, and joint degenerative changes. The earth imbalance that characterizes Cancer afflictions results in blood sugar imbalance, pancreatic dysfunction, mood swings, and craving for sweets. The structural vertebral levels ruled by Cancer are seventh cervical and first thoracic.

Primary reflex arcs are to the knees, especially the semilunar menisci, with secondary reflexes to the head, cranial vault, ventricles and central nerve system, and the kidneys and adrenals.

The Stomach meridian courses from the tear duct and below the eye around the cheek to the forehead, over the eye again and down the jaw and throat, across the clavicle and through the nipples down through the inguinal area and down the outer front leg and shin to the second toe. It relates to Cancer in its functions of absorption, secretion and maintenance of fluid boundaries. This meridian is related to the hollow organ of the element of earth.

The Cancer cell salt is Calcium Fluoride, which is especially present in the dentin and tooth enamel as well as bone. Calcium chloride is also Cancer-ruled as it buffers and regulates the stomach's hydrochloric acid secretion and provides calcium in its most soluble form to relax every nerve after every nerve impulse, thus Cancer-calcium's vital role in relaxing irritability and spasticity. Cancer rules the calcium balance and vitamin D metabolism. Vitamin D intake and synthesis levels have more effect on abnormal calcification processes (as well as healthy calcium metabolism) than does actual calcium intake level. With normal vitamin D metabolism and normal parathyroid function, excess calcium intake is never a problem unless there is excessive intake of calcium-binding oxalic or other acids. Both of the solstitial signs of Cancer and Capricorn have highly sensitive vitamin D and calcium metabolism. Calcium-rich foods such as milk, sesame seeds, peanuts, almonds and soybeans are recommended. Carrots, parsley and parsley root, turnips, collards and cabbage are even better because of their more ideal calcium to phosphorus ratio. Marshmallow root (Althea), slippery elm inner bark, okra and Irish moss are ruled by Cancer because of their demulcent action, soothing to the stomach and other mucous membranes.

Sun in Gemini:

Scatteredness, lack of focus result in too much wind in lungs, legs and ankles. Impaired lung elimination results in skin eruptions and susceptibility to blood poisoning and fever. Mutable cross reflex to feet, thighs and intestines. Rx potassium chloride, potassium iodide, vitamin C, melons, licorice root, mullein.

Moon in Taurus:

Congestion and fluid accumulation in throat; also swelling in uterus, endometriosis. Leg and foot pain. Fixed cross reflexes to sex organs, heart and ankles. Rx belladonna x, pulsatilla x, sodium sulphate, sage, dong quai.

Mercury in Cancer:

Too much wind in stomach and digestion. Flatulence, pain in eyes, throat, legs and knees. Rx calamus (in moderation), calamus x, chamomile.

Venus in Taurus:

Swelling, congestion in throat, head, sex organs, neck. Adenoids, tonsils, neck lymphatics. Rx ginger root, lemon, vitamin C.

Mars in Leo:

Overly dramatic, fiery temper. Heart valve anomalies or prolapsis. Gall or kidney stones or sediment. Fire or inflammation in heart, thoracic spine, bowels or knees. Fixed cross reflex to ankles, throat and sex organs. Rx hawthorn, sodium and magnesium regulation.

Jupiter in Aquarius:

Excess growth or expansion of tissues in ankles or in vascular system, fat/cholesterol deposits in peripheral vasculature. Rx vitamin E, lecithin, full spectrum trace minerals.

Saturn in Capricorn:

Calcification, coldness, hardness, sclerosis in knees, head and feet. Gout and degenerative arthritis but generally strong bone structure. Knee injuries. Cardinal cross reflex to head, kidney area, breasts and stomach. Rx vitamin C, calcium phosphate, comfrey root, marshmallow root.

Uranus in Leo:

Impulsiveness leads to nerve exhaustion, spinal injuries. Heart murmur, coarctation or other cardiac irregularities. Insomnia, muscle spasms, irritability, fasciculations. Rx passiflora, hawthorn, valerian with calcium/magnesium.

Neptune in Scorpio:

Alcohol or drug abuse, allergies, immune weakness, sensitivity to medications, highly suggestible. Weak uterus or prostate, swelling in sex organs, chronic lowgrade sex organ infection. Vulnerability to sexually transmitted diseases. Prone to sexual fantasy, dependence on aphrodisiacs, cocaine or alcohol as a sexual stimulant. Rx echinacea, niacin, dong quai, smilax.

Pluto in Virgo:

Deep underlying pathology or malignancy in bowels; skin problems. Rx apricot kernels, other amygdalin seeds, chaparral, lapacha.

INFLUENCE OF 3 HEALTH-RELATED MIDPOINT DEGREES

The Mars/Saturn midpoint is a major point of potential injury and conflict in the psychophysical body. The hot aggressive energy of Mars conflicts most with the cold, resistant energy of Saturn at this point of the zodiac for you. This creates tension, tissue destruction, wounding, scarring, and/or vascular, muscular or skeletal injury at the degrees indicated. If any of these degrees are also involved in aspect readouts elsewhere in this program, the effects are considerably amplified.

Mars/Saturn affects:

Spermatic duct, vagina. Alcoholism degree.

The Mars/Neptune midpoint is a major point of tissue weakness, stagnation, inflammation, diffusion or immune system disruption at the degrees indicated. If any of these degrees are also involved in aspect readouts elsewhere in this program, the effects are considerably amplified.

Mars/Neptune affects:

Posterior hepatic lobes.

The Saturn/Neptune midpoint is a major point of potential degeneration, cold swelling, stagnation, scar tissue, structural tissue weakness, or immune system deficit at the degrees indicated. If any of these degrees are also involved in aspect readouts elsewhere in this program, the effects are considerably amplified.

Saturn/Neptune affects:

Right femoral head.

AFFLICTED ZODIAC SIGNS

If there are any afflicted signs, they are described below:

Afflicted Taurus:

Afflictions in Taurus affect the larynx with the vocal cords, the neck, throat, jaw, cervical lymphatics, tonsils and sometimes the ears or teeth. The trapezius muscle with its reflex arcs, the cervical muscles, the spinal accessory nerve, the first four cervical nerves and the recurrent laryngeal nerve all convey the Taurus quality. The structural vertebral levels ruled by Taurus are third and fourth cervical.

Primary reflex arcs are to the sexual organs and pelvic lymphatics, with secondary reflexes to the heart, thoracic spine, ankles, and veins of the lower leg.

The Gall Bladder meridian, which courses from the side of the head down the sides of the entire body, including the temporal bones, the throat, lateral hip and thigh and lateral meniscus of the knee to the tip of the fourth toe, relates to Taurus in its functions of tissue building and protein and fat metabolism. This meridian is that of a hollow organ of the element of wood.

The Taurus cell salt is Sodium Sulphate. Sodium and sulphur together are involved in purification and filtration processes in the lymphatic system. These salts are also primary constituents of the aromatic purifying herbs and the blood-cleansing vegetables of Taurus. Most of these are excellent sore throat remedies and tisanes for hydrating the vocal cords. These herbs include sage, mullein, ginger root, coltsfoot, mustard, thyme and rosemary. Taurus foods for cleansing and tissue-building include root vegetables such as turnips, rutabagas, radishes and other members of the cabbage and mustard families including broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Homeopathic potencies of belladonna or phytolacca have Taurus applications.

Afflicted Capricorn:

Afflictions in Capricorn affect the knees in particular and the bones and joints in general. The hamstrings, adductors and popliteal nerves and muscles are ruled by Capricorn. There may be a tendency toward calcification and joint degenerative changes, or hardening of tissues or skin, growths, warts etc. The structural vertebral levels ruled by Capricorn are twelfth thoracic and first lumbar.

Primary reflex arcs are to the breasts, stomach and ribs, with secondary reflexes to the head and central nerve system, and the kidneys and adrenals.

The Large Intestine meridian, which courses from the index finger up the lateral radial aspect of the arm, deltoid and trapezius through the larynx and jaw to the corners of the lips and nose, relates to Capricorn in its function of elimination of solid wastes, and regulation of hardening and mineralizing processes in the body. It is a hollow organ meridian of the element of metal.

The Capricorn cell salt is Calcium Phosphate, which is present in the apatite crystals of bone tissue. Capricorn rules the calcium balance and vitamin D metabolism. Vitamin D intake and synthesis levels have more effect on abnormal calcification processes (as well as healthy calcium metabolism) than does actual calcium intake level. With normal vitamin D metabolism and normal parathyroid function, excess calcium intake is never a problem unless there is excessive intake of calcium-binding oxalic or other acids. Both of the solstitial signs of Cancer and Capricorn have highly sensitive vitamin D and calcium metabolism. Comfrey root, also known as knitbone, works through allantoin metabolism to optimize bone and connective tissue formation and healing, recommended for external use only because of its potential destructive effects on liver metabolism if ingested. Calcium-rich foods such as milk (especially goat's milk), sesame seeds, peanuts, almonds and soybeans are recommended as well as roots such as carrots and parsley root. Shepherd's purse, pomegranate and persimmon are ruled by Capricorn because of their astringent and hemostatic action. Thuja and ficus sap are also thus ruled for similar reasons and their ability to destroy warts and other unwanted tissue.

Afflicted Cancer:

Afflictions in Cancer affect the stomach, breasts, and the secretory and absorptive tissues of the body in general. Cancer connects with every functional protection of that which is soft and vulnerable, and every kind of boundary layer. The diaphragm is ruled by Cancer, as are the sixth and seventh ribs (and ribs in general) where the anterior diaphragm attaches. The vagus nerve with its lunar parasympathetic action, stimulating digestion, and the ulnar nerve of the elbow and lunar mount side of the hand are Cancer ruled. The biceps muscle (although supplied by the solar radial nerve) is the indicator muscle of the stomach. Also ruled by Cancer are the palmar flexors which clasp, grasp, or close the palm. There may be a tendency toward calcification of soft tissues, hyperacidicity, and joint degenerative changes. The earth imbalance that characterizes Cancer afflictions results in blood sugar imbalance, pancreatic dysfunction, mood swings, and craving for sweets. The structural vertebral levels ruled by Cancer are seventh cervical and first thoracic.

Primary reflex arcs are to the knees, especially the semilunar menisci, with secondary reflexes to the head, cranial vault, ventricles and central nerve system, and the kidneys and adrenals.

The Stomach meridian courses from the tear duct and below the eye around the cheek to the forehead, over the eye again and down the jaw and throat, across the clavicle and through the nipples down through the inguinal area and down the outer front leg and shin to the second toe. It relates to Cancer in its functions of absorption, secretion and maintenance of fluid boundaries. This meridian is related to the hollow organ of the element of earth.

The Cancer cell salt is Calcium Fluoride, which is especially present in the dentin and tooth enamel as well as bone. Calcium chloride is also Cancer-ruled as it buffers and regulates the stomach's hydrochloric acid secretion and provides calcium in its most soluble form to relax every nerve after every nerve impulse, thus Cancer-calcium's vital role in relaxing irritability and spasticity. Cancer rules the calcium balance and vitamin D metabolism. Vitamin D intake and synthesis levels have more effect on abnormal calcification processes (as well as healthy calcium metabolism) than does actual calcium intake level. With normal vitamin D metabolism and normal parathyroid function, excess calcium intake is never a problem unless there is excessive intake of calcium-binding oxalic or other acids.

Marshmallow root (Althea), slippery elm inner bark, okra and Irish moss are ruled by Cancer because of their demulcent action, soothing to the stomach and other mucous membranes.

Afflicted Aquarius:

Afflictions in Aquarius affect the ankles and lower legs, also the proprioceptive system, especially the aspects of posture relating to the ankles and the maintenance of the erect posture. Aquarius rules the peripheral vasculature especially the return flow of the venous and lymphatic systems. The gastrocnemius, soleus and tibialis anterior muscles are Aquarian. The structural vertebral levels ruled by Aquarius are second and third lumbar.

Primary reflex arcs are to the heart and its rhythmic foci, with secondary reflexes to the throat, neck and sex organs.

The Spleen meridian, which courses from the big toe upwards anterior to the medial mallleoli of the ankles, up the inner leg and front of abdomen to the medial deltoid margin and down to the lateral thorax, relates to Aquarius in its functions of the destruction of old and inefficient blood cells, as well as the maintenance of lymphatic circulation and water holding. It is considered a solid organ of the earth element. There are important connections to the Bladder and Heart Protector meridians also.

This salt does its job best when balanced in complexes as are obtained in seaweeds or in seasalt, or excess water-holding will result. Natural sources include celery, beets, tomatoes, water chestnuts, and especially coconut water. Aquarius rules nervines such as valerian, ladies slipper, or passionflower. There may be difficulty with the activation and integration of the airs of the body, and these herbs will help maintain the balance.

Afflicted Scorpio:

Afflictions in Scorpio affect the reproductive, cathartic and eliminative organs. Scorpio rules the sacral plexus of nerves, the pudendal nerve, and the femoral nerve to the quadriceps femoris muscle of the anterior thigh. It rules the urinary trigone muscle and the pelvic floor, as well as the rectal sphincter. The structural vertebral levels ruled by Scorpio are eighth and ninth thoracic.

Primary reflex arcs are to the throat, nasal sinuses and neck, with secondary reflexes to the heart and its valves, and the ankles and lower leg vasculature.

The Heart Protector or Sex/Circulation meridian, which courses from the nipple down the inside of the arm through the center of the palm to the middle fingertip, and has a related perineal point, relates to Scorpio in its functions of catharsis, sexuality and the projection of fire within water. This meridian is related to a hollow organ of the element of fire.

The Scorpio cell salt is Calcium Sulphate, which is especially involved in the purification processes of the uterine menstrual function, as well as the functions of the prostate and the function of relaxing smooth muscle contractions. Calcium sulphate is present in high concentrations in the cabbage and mustard families, including mustard, radish, turnip, collards, cabbage, broccoli, and especially also horseradish and ginger roots, and watercress. Note watercress is stimulative to the uterus and is not to be taken by pregnant women. Garlic and onion stimulate sexual secretion and cell division, and are ruled by Scorpio. Aloe, okra and other demulcents have Scorpio uses as well.

Afflicted Virgo:

Afflictions in Virgo affect the intestines, liver and abdomen in general. The rectus abdominis muscles, the splanchnic and hepatic nerves and vessels, and the superior and inferior mesenteric nerve ganglia are ruled by Virgo. Glycogen-glucagon storage and metabolism, and thus blood sugar regulation are ruled largely by Virgo, as are many aspects of immunologic integrity especially gamma globulin metabolism and other biological mechanisms of maintaining the ÒvirginityÓ of the bloodstream and body tissues. Thus there may be a tendency to allergy. The structural vertebral levels ruled by Virgo are fourth and fifth thoracic.

Primary reflex arcs are to the feet, with secondary reflexes to the hips, thighs and lungs, arms and hands.

The Small Intestine meridian, which courses from the little fingertip up the ulnar edge of the arm to the scapula and up the neck and cheek, relates to Virgo in its functions of tissue building through absorption, discrimination and assimilation of fire into earth. This meridian is that of a hollow organ of the element of fire.

The Virgo cell salt is Potassium Sulphate. Potassium and sulphur together are involved in purification and filtration processes in the lymphatic system. These salts are also primary constituents of the carminative herbs ruled by Virgo, many of which also happen to be galactogogues (increasing the flow of milk). These herbs include dill, cardamom, coriander, anise, fenugreek, licoriceand fennel.
