Lizzi starts with traditional astrology methods of determining questions of a medical need, such as “what time is good for my knee surgery” or “Will I have a positive biopsy?” “Will we be pregnant soon”? Note that Lizzi also looks at planetoid Chiron as the “wounded healer” and the outer planets (from Uranus outward) to see their influence, but follows the ancient traditions of Galen, Hippocrates, Agrippa and Asclepius as well as many others who were using astrology for thousands of years as a method of determining medical need.

 Medical astrology can look at the birth chart to see what concerns may come up in the course of a persons’ life which could assist in self-treatment with providers such as medical doctors, homeopaths, naturopaths and many other licensed personnel. The medical astrologer can assist a client find a good time for surgery (and a bad time to avoid). The astrology chart can reveal whether a physician or practitioner is a good one, whether the treatment may be effective or whether a disease will become or is chronic.

Note that medical astrology is an assistive tool for obtaining medical care and can steer an individual in the right direction, but is not a prognostic tool as an MRI or the advice of a medical or naturopathic provider may offer. Medical astrology is a great first step in evaluating medical needs and can point someone in a direction to seek care.
