I am not medically trained, whereby any information offered is derived from the rules applied to astrological symbolism as it pertains to the branch of astrology that deals with health issues. The personal focus is through the modern rather than traditional perspective. It implies that physical disease is not ‘automatically’ written into a chart but can be a result of mismanagement of planetary energy.
Hi Matthew,
So very sorry to read of your physical complaint at such a young age.
Thank goodness, such a disorder is no longer considered fatal and can be satisfactorily treated.
To offer yet another perspective, as per the teachings of U.S. medical astrologer Ingrid Naiman(www. astroheal) who did much research on the astrological correlations with/to cancer, your complaint (because of age) could be considered as falling under Mars, with Jupiter representing
(malignant) growth=tumour. This would coincide with the almost exact Mars-Jupiter(retrograde) opposition across the 6th-12th house axis in your chart.
There is a natal configuration between the astrological point MEAN Black Lilith(inner feeling non acceptance = denial) in Scorpio square natal Sun(Self).
Mars rules Scorpio (generation of cells/male reproductive organs) in youth. The time span would coincide with the ingress of transit of
physical planets Jupiter into Capricorn end 2007, immediately followed by that of the first of FOUR passes from the transit of Pluto (destruction of cells/elimination) to the natal opposition beginning early 2008 until end 2010.
Transit Pluto has made its final pass over natal Uranus, which should also be included as a feature of the Mars-Jupiter opposition. There has been an elimination (Pluto) of the diseased part of the physical body (6th house), the never-to-be again finalisation of something that has brought about a structural(Capricorn) change(Uranus) to the body. Pluto also rules protheses replacements of body parts but I don't think testicle replacement has yet reached such a stage.
Uranus rules radiation but Pluto will not activate the planet... or the opposition...further. Its necessary eliminative work is done.
Transit Uranus no longer activates the natal Mars-Jupiter opposition and it has finalised its square to its natal position. This would suggest that radiation treatment is past a recuperative possibility(9th house). Furthermore, the rulers of the 6th and 8th houses oppose each other and have already seen hospitalisation(12th house) and operative surgery(8th house) occuring.
Chemotherapy falls under Neptune and it is transit Neptune that is now positively aspecting the dual opposition. It not only rules the lymphatic system as a whole, it is also the ruler of the 9th house, which in health astrology, is associated with the realm of health and well-being. Neptune moves VERY slowly; it will be well into 2015 before its disintegration of the Mars-Jupiter malignancy is complete and the liberation from physical illness (Uranus in Capricorn) can become a fact. During that time transit Pluto will have reached its next sphere of elimination, transition and regeneration; the faith in a new start and a total change in mentality.
A practical approach to the chart yet, as a consequence, you might find yourself more drawn towards a philosophical understanding of life.
The very best of good health to you in the future.
