Astrology, Nutrition and Health [Paperback]

Robert Carl Jansky (Author), Robert C. Jausky (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1998

Jansky explains how the signs of the zodiac relate to different parts of the body and how the houses of your natal horoscope are related to your food preferences and nutritional needs. He shows that the planetary aspects in your chart represent the flow of energy among the various systems of the body, which can indicate potential health problems. You will learn about the role of Saturn, representing protein in your diet, and how Venus controls the digestion of carbohydrates. You will learn that Jupiter rules the liver and the metabolism of fats, and that Pluto shows how enzymes work. Also, you will find out how to use your planetary transits to select the best time for elective surgery.

This review is from: Astrology, Nutrition and Health (Paperback)

I own multiple books on astrology, probably around 30 from the great authors such as Tyl, Hand, Spiller, Greene, Arroyo, Cunningham, Pond, Parker, etc. I was relatively unfamiliar w/ this author but was interested in the title. Each page of this thin book contains 5 pages of information you'd find in the other books. His writing style is clear and to the point. I found it difficult to put this book down and honestly to fully absorb each page (usually I read a book quickly and still retain information) I did linger on his words. I now wish more of his books were still in print. If you have any interest in health and nutrition,or just astrology in general this book is a gem.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer here...this book is outstanding. I have medical astrology books by Starck, Tyl, Hill etc; but they are'nt user friendly and they leave a lot of questions still hanging in the air... This book is down to earth and reads as clear as a bell.

The author covers a wide variety of nutrients, foods, hormones, etc. which are required to keep the body in top physical working order and his explanation of rulerships is in depth and accurate. It is difficult to put this book down once you pick it up.....his writing is both facinating and educational. He discusses glands, proteins in the diet, carbohydrates, metabolism, vitamins, minerals and cell salts and a dozen more issues related to our physical/mental health.

This book is an Astrological explosion of wisdom and intelligence...I don't know why it took me so long to find it... I have referred this book to everyone in my astrology group and I will do the same for you....This book is extraordinary in its simplicity!!! Order it before they're all gone!!

With much appreciation to the author and his love of Astrology... Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Cheers, Kiwi

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Sit-Up-In-The-Buggy" Read!, March 28, 2011

This review is from: Astrology, Nutrition and Health (Paperback)

I have been a professional astrologer for over 35 years and this is one of the most comprehensive, in-depth 'readable' references I have ever experienced in medical astrology. Linking signs, planets (and particular aspects) to their respective body, organ, and glandular function or disfunction, this book expands the correlation between nutritonal needs and potential imbalances (and suggestions on how to improve/correct them). Also included is a chapter on 'elective' (best time) surgery and even planetary influences/implications for the onset of critcal illness and/or times of death. The author reminds the reader that such planetary influences may occur at OTHER times in a person's birthchart, so is not meant to be a critical specificater for moments of death alone, but does provide a useful time-table for these particular imperatives. A most enlightening book, I have added this to my collection of advanced astrological material. Although the copyright is 1975, this book by Robert Carl Jansky is FAR beyond it's time, even by today's standards! Highly recommended!
