You're right Kingsley, Saturn rules the Asc (Asc still very much being in Aqu); sorry about that; wonder why I took Pisces, and so Jup signifying the patient- guess I was still too shaken by my first post's disappearance. And yes, you certainly wouldn't want Saturn then to end up in the eight- for obvious reasons (also, as per Med Astro, Saturn in eight could show a chronic ailment, maybe cancer of the bones, or bone marrow- as Sat). Mars' sextile to Sat is good, as you said yourself, showing that the agressive treatment (which chemo is) should support (sextile) the patient (Sat) in wiping off (Mars) the disease. This even more so, if you consider the 'favourable' connection between Jupiter (Pisces does cover a lot of the 1st house- patient, and Sag-10th- treatment) 'sextiling' Mars (which rules 10th), which in turn 'sextiles' Saturn (patient); even if Jup is in fall (Cap). If only the 6th house cusp could be moved from both the anaretic degree on the cusp, and its location in Cancer (Moon ruling it); to being in Leo (Sun- life- energy..). Kingsley, I would have thought that Ura ((x-)rays=> chemo)) would show the chemotherapic nature of treatment in this case, since this is not the normal alcohol/ethanol medication (Nep). Correct me, please, if I'm incorrectly assuming here. If you, however, were to agree with this bit, then, I would think that Ura (chemo beams) opposing (fighting against) Sat (patient); and this together with Moon (instability) ruling the 6th (recovery & physical health), with South Node (sorrow) in there, could all - in sum -indicate some unpleasant aftereffects (aftermath) of the treatment; even a long, unpleasant battle on the road to recovery. I hope I'm amiss here though.
