This book is a translation of the original (Dutch) brought about by the overwhelming demand of his English speaking students. Books have been written about herbs with a little astrology added, outer planets with a little naturopathy added and about the astrological symbolism of body parts & functions. But none of these are really about classical medical astrology: practical diagnosis & treatment on the basis of charts. Medical astrology has always been an integral unity of astrological diagnosis & treatment based on planetary positions. This integral & seamless unity is the central theme in this book which picks up the thread of the great tradition which ended temporarily in 17th century England. It is now undergoing a revival as modern astrologers rediscover the authenticity & value of the classical techniques.

Show moreClearly written, the book shows methods for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. It is a simple book to follow and it allows virtually any astrologer who can read a chart to bring healing to themselves and others. It’s a lovely practical book, but one that also gives insights into traditional techniques and philosophies. It gives greater depth than may be thought at first glance…if you are interested in classical medical astrology and wish to learn how you can apply it in a practical way to everyday life, then this is the book for you.

The Lunar Nodes, Rahu and Ketu are the key to understanding your life’s mission, and how previous lifetimes are affecting you now. In this deeply spiritual book Komilla shows how to understand the axis and the way that the polarities pull us in two directions at once. She includes information that has never been published before and describes the axis by house, sign and nakshatra as well as a short section on eclipses.
Newly expanded and updated, this absolutely excellent and very welcome addition to the booklist discusses the background of house systems and the meanings of the houses in the context of ancient, traditional and modern astrology. Brilliant book!
