This is one of the most sophisticated medical astrology books ever
written. Many of the finer points are dealt with. You know the head
is ruled by Aries, but did you know the nasal bones are co-ruled by
Scorpio? There are references to Vedic principles. A helpful
diagram explains the subtle division of the urinary tract between
Libra and Scorpio. Rulerships are given not only for areas of the
body and its organs, but also for bones, muscles, arteries and
veins. Terminology in the book is modern. Gemini's rulership of
muscles includes the deltoid, biceps, supinator radii, subclavians,
triceps, serratus anticus minor, pectoralis, palmaris, etc. Many
chapters are unique, such as Chapter 5, on crystallization, and
Chapter 6, on tonicity, atonicity, and perversion. This chapter
also tells how pairs of planets mirror each other: Sun/Moon,
Mars/Saturn, Jupiter/Venus, Uranus/Neptune, with Mercury as a
receiver. Chapter 11 concerns many different kinds of planetary
strengths, among them, aspect strength, mundane strength, natural
strength (the planet in its natal sign) and directional strength.
Chapter 13 gives astrological indicators for some specific
diseases, a foretaste of what Charles Carter would expand upon in
his famous Encyclopaedia of Psychological Astrology. This book was
originally published as Alan Leo's Astrological Manual No. 9 in
1908. This is the second edition of 1914. There are references in
this book to other books in the Alan Leo series, dealing with chart
construction. This book is highly recommended by H.L. Cornell in
his Encyclopaedia of Medical Astrology. Heinrich Daath's Medical
Astrology is part of a comprehensive series of classic
astro-medical texts published by Astrology Classics. Other books in
the series include: - Joseph Blagrave: Astrological Practice of
Physick, 1671 C.E.O. Carter: An Encyclopaedia of Psychological
Astrology, 1954 H.L. Cornell: Encyclopaedia of Medical Astrology,
1933 Nicholas Culpeper: Astrological Judgement of Diseases from the
Decumbiture of the Sick, 1655, and, Urinalia, 1658 Richard
Saunders: The Astrological Judgement and Practice of Physick, 1677
Luke Broughton: The Elements of Astrology, 1898
