Medical astrology examines celestial influences on human health and the body. Historically integrated with humoral theory and herbalism, it associates zodiac signs with specific body parts, planets with organs and functions, and uses timing methods to diagnose or elect treatment periods.
This tradition, rooted in Classical, Hellenistic, and Medieval practice, employed decumbiture charts and planetary rulerships to guide medical decision-making. Today, medical astrology is studied symbolically and historically, not as a substitute for professional medical care, but as a way to understand traditional cosmological views of health and the body.
