MEDICAL ASTROLOGY
Venus cast any aspect when Mars is afflicting, such ailment seldom ends fatally unless the patient be old.
The most evil directions are those of Saturn to the Sun and ascendant, and those of Mars and Mercury to the Moon, such directions often end fatally; the afflictions of the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, and Uranus to the ascendant (if the ascendant rules the health) are not so powerful in producing death.
Regarding the age, the Moon and Mercury act most powerful under the age of 15, Venus and Mars from 15 to 25, Sun and Jupiter from 25 to 50, and Saturn and Uranus in old age. Although Saturn has a powerful influence at the age of 30, 45, and 60, while Mars and the Sun act very powerful at the age of 19, 27, and 38.
In judging from a Horary figure, we have a very stubborn matter to deal with. Judging of sickness, is quite different from giving judgment on finances, lawsuits, journeys, and other affairs, and I would advise all astrologers to use a little care in giving their opinion from a horary figure. I have found the following rules almost indispensable in this respect.
