TRADITIONAL MEDICAL ASTROLOGY

Traditional medical astrology is rooted in the ancient understanding that the human body and the wider cosmos are closely connected. Its foundations lie in the four classical elements—Fire, Air, Water and Earth—and their corresponding humours, which are believed to influence both physical and psychological functioning. Within this traditional framework, health is understood as a state of balance between these elemental forces, while illness is interpreted as a disturbance of this natural harmony.

One of the central principles of traditional medical astrology is its holistic and individualised approach to health. Rather than examining symptoms in isolation, it seeks to understand the deeper imbalance affecting the individual as a whole. Through the interpretation of planetary influences and elemental qualities, the traditional astrologer attempts to identify the nature of this imbalance and the factors associated with it. Historically, this understanding also guided the selection of measures intended to restore balance, taking into account each person’s particular constitution and circumstances.
