It is our belief that there will be a renaissance of this tradition in the 21st century. The body contains all of the four elements found in nature, Fire, Earth, Air and Water, which give it certain energetic qualities. Fire is hot and dry, Earth is cold and dry, Air is hot and moist and Water is cold and moist. The human organism is also seen as an exact miniature duplicate of the solar system with the outer framework of the body corresponding to the signs of the Zodiac and the internal organs and body systems corresponding to the planets. Our natal horoscope often highlights a certain health pattern as well.
Traditional analysis is too complex to be the object of a brief article.
We can point out that the Sun s sign and Moon s sign location indicate the regions of the body that are the most subject to challenges. To some extent health conditions can also be related to the sign opposite the Sun sign, given the law of polarity. The placements of planets in the sixth and twelfth houses are also important. To study the cause of actual dis-eases or imbalances, astrologers also analyze those transits or lunar, solar, or planetary cycles that put extra stress at a given time on one s horoscope. This would be a manifestation of the planetary dis-ease.
