This basic layman's text allows the medical practitioner, astrologer or layman to quickly understand basic medical astrology. World renowned astrologer and award winning writer Judith Hill introduces a few extremely fruitful methods for immediate use to health professionals, i.e. "what every physician should know". The book opens with a practical "let's get started" approach for locating the seat of chronic and acute dis-ease within the body. The author presents a simple, A-B-C elucidation of ancient Zodiacal Man, and the health impact of the natal planets and lunar nodes.Rare material, exciting to astrologers, is included, e.g. "Doctor- Patient Relations", "Surgical and Treatment Tips", "Know Your Patient's Needs", plus perhaps the most exhaustive sections on health idiosyncracies of all signs in print. As Michael Burton, PH.D., and licensed acupuncturist says: "If you are a doctor or practitioner who wishes, deep in your heart, that you could penetrate quickly to root causes of your clients' illness, this book is for you. Go beyond symptomatic medicine." This book serves as a delightful and useful prequel to Hill's. classic Medical Astrology: A Guide to Planetary Pathology.
