Astrology and Women’s Wellness

Leftover notes from our last podcast episode

At the Astrological Integration podcast, my podcast partner Roshni Sharma Fleming and I casually talk about topics that combine healing and astrology and besides agreeing on some talking points we never really know where it’s going which makes it so genuine.  

Last month, we were joined by the lovely Sharon Ann Rose for our episode on Female Wellness and you can listen to it here.

In preparation though, I do research the topics and I have some leftover notes that would have burst our time frame last month.  I don’t want to withhold these as they may be useful for astrologically inclined readers.

Our birthchart holds valuable information about how we live out our feminine side, including our capacity to love, our needs in love, who and what we tend to attract, our emotional side, sense of safety, and motherhood, as well as information about health and wellness. 

Venus and the Moon are associated with women in general, but also with the above key factors that (except motherhood) equally apply to men’s birthcharts.

However, the spotlight is on women’s wellness today and the following are some astrological factors that provide valuable information about the mental, emotional, and bodily condition of a woman when interpreted by sign and house, and in aspect with other points and planets in the chart.

Personality

Women and the Asteroids:

  • Chiron: Herbalist, teacher; one’s master wound that can serve as a catalyst for healing others
  • Ceres: Matriarch, Mother Earth, the Crone, caretaker; nourishing
  • Juno: The married woman, wife
  • Pallas Athena: The brave daughter; powerful, industrious, independent
  • Vesta: Late marriage, the initiated; pure, fiery

The Elements

  • Fire: Action-driven, fast, bold, honest
  • Earth: Slow & methodical, sensual, loyal
  • Air: Social, mental, talkative, witty
  • Water: Empathic, emotional, caring

Modalities

  • Cardinal: Do-er, action-driven, taking initiative
  • Fixed: Likes to maintain status quo, doesn’t like change
  • Mutable: Flexible, adaptable

Temperament (Humoral Theory)

  • Sanguine (Air)
  • Choleric (Fire)
  • Phlegmatic (Water)
  • Melancholic (Earth)

Temperament/body type (Ayurvedic Doshas)

  • Vata (Air)
  • Pitta (Fire)
  • Kapha (Water/Earth)

The Body

1st-6th

1st House (Ascendant) = The body, the Self, individuality.

6th house = Health-related habits, service to body

Arabic Parts (or Lots)

These are calculated points involving the Ascendant and a planet.  Fortune (Lunar) signifies bodily wellbeing and Good Luck, while Spirit (Solar) is more mental and action-oriented. Other lots can be calculated, such as Sickness, Energy, Sex, Cancer, Surgery, Death, Harmony, Marriage, etc.)

 

Planetary rulership and the body (Tucker, UK, 1896 – 1981)

zodiac and body

  • Sun: Heart
  • Moon: Glands, lymphatic system, breasts, stomach
  • Mercury: Brain, nervous system, lungs, locomotion, arms, hands
  • Venus: Kidneys
  • Mars: Muscles, head, eyes
  • Jupiter: Liver, pancreas, thighs
  • Saturn: Bones, teeth, skin
  • Uranus: Parasympathetic nervous system, psychosomatic diseases
  • Neptune: Poisons
  • Pluto: Reproductive organs (not mentioned by Tucker)

Dis-ease & sickness

You can calculate a Decumbiture chart for the moment when you feel that you are getting sick (Horary chart for when one gives in, lays down). Nicholas Culpeper (1616 – 1654) developed a Moon crisis technique.  He looked at the Moon’s transit over the Decumbiture chart for timing the start of therapy or cure. Culpeper was a Botanist, Physician, and Astrologer; and the author of Astrological Judgement of Diseases.  In a Decumbiture chart, Saturn and the 8th house traditionally represent death.  Mars means more acute issues while Saturn signifies chronic health challenges.

Iatromancy is another (non-astrological) form of judging disease that is performed by a Physician-Seer (shaman).

Astrological Integration

Join Roshni and me for casual talks about how to integrate aspects of Astrology into therapeutic client work, or simply into daily, practical life.

Once a month, we explore the various components and concepts of Astrology and their practical use in therapy, healing work, and personal life. This event is free, open to everyone and no astrological knowledge is necessary.

It is our goal to demystify Astrology and help people move beyond the fear and resistance of applying astrological concepts in their lives or optimizing event timing based on planetary cycles.
