According to a medical astrology book I have,the degrees for the pancreas are 15-19 degrees in Cancer.
This agrees with Ebertin's anatomical correspondences to the zodiac degrees, in which above degrees apply to the opening of the pancreas.
Melly Uyldert mentions the same degrees in her book but without going into the psychosomatic reason WHY Cancer is involved. She's usually so thorough.
Maybe the pancreas 'as a vessel' falls under Virgo/Mercury, thus involving some sort of mental attribution?
Internet browsing doesn't provide any positive explanation one way or the other. The pancreas is listed under Virgo, yet diabetes, of which there are several types and causes for different reasons, seem to revert back to Venus....the sugar! i.e. love and money associations. Yet it's the pancreas that produces the insuline that diabetes lack. Strange.
If these degrees are stimulated by a conjunction/square/opposition by an electrical planet as Mars/Uranus/Pluto,he works too fast.And if the pancreas is weakened by an aspect of a magnetic planet as Neptune/Venus/Moon,too little insuline is fabricated.
That's a very logical and understandable explanantion
Often there is a square between Venus/Jupiter and than also the midpoint is mentioned between these two planets.Sometimes there is also a dry Moon,for example a hard aspect with Saturn,no planets in watersigns,or there are planets in watersigns,but they are having problems with Saturn or Neptune.
There are three examples of horoscopes of people with diabetes,all very various charts,but very insightful,and therapies like herbs,to be cured.
What's the title of the book, please, Johan?
