Astrology and Your Health [Paperback]

Jeanne Avery (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 15, 1991

Hippocrates said, "A physician cannot safely administer medicine if he is unacquainted with astrology." In "Astrology and Your Health" Jeanne Avery picks up where Hippocrates left off in this lively, practical, and state-of-the-art guide to the health secrets hidden in the horoscope. Avery covers the zodiac and its physical counterparts, how different zodiacal signs can manage their health, and how one's horoscope can hint at health issues before they surface.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

While this will be of most interest to serious, charts-in-hand astrology buffs, there is quite a bit of New Age information included. Astrologer Avery, author of The Rising Sign ( LJ 1/1/82), offers alternative and preventive therapies as her book's major theme, including massage, acupuncture, crystals, herbs, colors, and meditation. She matches specific ailments with corresponding signs, and provides the best treatment for each. Libraries with large collections in astrology will want the book, although the primary market will be the New Age shop. So many books, methods, and practitioners are covered that a bibliography would have been helpful. Purchase where interest warrants.

This review is from: Astrology and Your Health (Paperback)

I think many people who delve into astrology, due so to examine its accuracy regarding health and death, illnessses and the like. Jeanne offers a rather simple approach, you don't have to be degreed in a medical field to comprehend her work.
I personally liked the insight on which vitamins/minerals an individual should take or increase take of based upon their chart. I shared some of this information with a friend who works with medical astrology, and he commented that some of her associations to body parts and illnesses are not the same as what is used in medical astrology, however he also stated that it is overall very reliable. (It being the information she provides.)
For any one who works with health and illness and well being in astrology, this is certainly one to put on your bookshelf for reference.
