MEDICAL ASTROLOGY
About this ebook
By Dr. Douglas M. Baker
B.A., M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P
The author, a medical doctor, has used astrology as an additional diagnostic technique for 50 years, and whilst not being as accurate in discovery as the diagnostic capacities of modern medicine it can act as a second opinion and sometimes point out an infrastructure to the complaint as well as a holistic interpretation.
The use of esoteric rulers has made the work easier, giving more accurate and specific interpretations because of their ‘one ruler for one sign’ basis. It has also been a joy to note that horoscopes of the famous, where illnesses and causes of death have been well-known, corroborate the esoteric rulers and have fitted into the pattern of my own discoveries and observations. Many examples, conditions, charts and interpretations are given here to demonstrate the merits of this method.
The author's own experience of medical conditions in which there is a link between two faculties, like muscle and the forebrain is that one factor may mask another via their interconnections. The immense value of astrology as a diagnostic tool is that where conditions arise from multiple factors, each can be identified separately in the horoscope and investigated further for their inter-connectedness through the relevant aspects.
This knowledge was shared at the 1998 world convention of astrologers in Orlando, Florida, USA.
