ASTROLOGY & AILMENTS

I answered a reader’s question regarding medical astrology recently, and will list the illnesses associated with each sign. Remember, just because certain ailments are ruled by your sign, does not mean you will develop this illness. Planets in certain signs, the Ascendant, Sixth and Twelfth Houses, as well as aspects will point to certain areas of concern. Here is the traditional list.
