Medical Astrology: A Rational Approach.. This item is unavailable.Medical Astrology: A Rational Approach.

It has been endeavoured to introduce a few specialites in this book. Firstly to discuss for the benefit of the student of astrology a maximum number of diseases [this book was first published in 1986] under astrological laws. Secondly to supply in support of that discussion as many illustrations from actual life as is possible, with a view to make the subject readily understandable. Thirdly we have tried to place the astrolgical material in a rational & logical manner, so that the question of health & disease can be tackled in an independent way without being too much subservient to the shlokas of the text. We do meet with the shlokas dealing with most of the diseases but there are very few books, if at all, which discuss the "how" and "why" of disease. We have attempted to discuss the constituents of diseases & the astrological factors representing them severely in order that the student can extend the application of the method to new diseases.
