The planets and the fixed stars are used in medical astrology. The fixed stars denote specific parts of the body, and are activated when in conjunction to the Sun, Moon or planets in the natal chart. The Sun, Moon and planets are using in two ways. Firstly, their positions in the natal chart denotes general areas, systems and functions of the body. Secondly, in both natal charts and in transit, the Sun, Moon and planets have a physiological effect on the natal positions.

It is also worth looking at the position of asteroid Hygeia in your natal chart and in transit. This asteroid of health made many conjunctions in my chart when I was battling cancer, each step of the way, from diagnosis to til the all-clear. At the end of this article there are some links to free online medical astrology astrology books.
