Medical Electional Astrology
Part 1
by Nancy R. FennPage: 1 2
Electional and horary astrology are two areas of astrology that deserve more attention from students and professionals than they sometimes get.
Related in interpretation but different in intent, horary and electional astrology are two forms of astrological chart analysis that are similar by analogy to the relationship between deductive and inductive reasoning.
In horary astrology, a question is asked at a specific time and a chart is cast for that moment. Then the chart is interpreted according to the rules of horary interpretation to yield an answer.
In electional astrology, someone wants to choose an auspicious or lucky time for an event in the future that can be planned, such as a marriage, signing real estate papers, or, in the case of Ronald Reagan, a presidential swearing-in ceremony.
The astrologer begins by speculating with the client on a desirable time in the future and then casts a chart for that time and date. This chart is interpreted according to the guidelines for electional astrology in order to determine if this is the best possible date to insure success.
In reviewing a tentative electional chart, the astrologer must decide whether or not the date and time are satisfactory. In truth, since it is not possible to get a "perfect" electional chart, s/he usually winds up casting half a dozen charts and trying to choose the one that makes the most sense.
Ivy M. Goldstein-Jacobson is the High Priestess of Horary and Electional Astrologer. She has done the most recently to develop and refine the art of this kind of interpretation. Mrs. Jacobson lived from 1893 to 1990. Another expert in the field is William Lilly. He wrote in the 17th Century!
Mrs. Jacobson's wonderful books are now back in print and available on several Internet sites. Many are available secondhand through amazon.com Mrs. Jacobson's book on horary is called "Simplified Horary Astrology".
Another essential tool for interpreting charts this way is Rex E. Bills' "The Rulership Book", also widely available on the Internet. The Rulership Book tells you what sign rules just about anything you can think of from Israel to the kitchen sink. This information is critical to horary and electional chart interpretation.
Let's look at some of the basic steps for reading an electional chart for an operation. Suppose a client has come to asking when is the best time for surgery to remove her uterus.
1. The first thing is to identify the rulership of the area of the body being operated on. We establish this through Bills' "Rulerships" book or general knowledge -- the uterus is a reproductive organ and is therefore ruled by Scorpio and the planet Mars.
The rest of the interpretation follows these general guidelines.
2. The 8th house signifies surgery (Jacobson: "The 7th rules the doctor or physician: the surgeon who usually cuts away a part that then dies is ruled by the death-8th.")..
3. The 1st house signifies the patient.
4. Mercury represents the instruments the surgeon will use.
5. The recovery process is signified by the 6th house.
Examine the rulers of these houses and the planets that inhabit them to see what kind of aspects and information are revealed, positive or negative.
For example, if Taurus rules the 6th house, the ruler of that house is Venus. Look to see where Venus is in the chart and how it is aspected in order to find out how the recovery process will go.
