There is “Medical Astrology” and there is “Astrological Medicine”. Two different things! Medical Astrology refers to any use of classical Western or Jyotish astrology for medical purposes; and/or the use of any world folk tradition correlating the use of cosmic forces with healing. Astrological Medicine refers to a complete system of medicine - exactly how we might say “Traditional Chinese Medicine”, or “Ayurveda”. Originally called “Astrologo-Physick” - this complete system reached its pinnacle in the Medieval and Renaissance periods, remaining in good service today.
