In our work we use Sidereal Astrology. The word sidereal means “of, or calculated by, the stars”. Sounds pretty obvious when we’re talking about astrology doesn’t it?! This is the way that our ancient ancestors first began to practice astronomy and astrology – by looking at the stars, the planets, the constellations themselves.

So how is this different to the standard practice of astrology that most people are used to? Well around 2000 years ago the stars matched the seasons and at the Equinox in March (Spring in the northern hemisphere) the Sun moved into the constellation of Aries. Tropical Western (aka ‘common or garden’) astrology has continued to view the astrological calendar in this way, ie. the March Equinox (21st/22nd March) is fixed as the beginning of Aries season and everything else follows from that.

However, in the 2nd century BC, a Greek astronomer called Hipparchus, discovered that there is a tiny but gradual shift in the orientation of the Earth’s axis of rotation, called precession. What this means is that over thousands of years the view of the stars from the Earth has shifted so that at the March Equinox the Sun actually now still rises in the constellation of Pisces, and doesn’t move into Aries for another month or so. The precession shift happens at a rate of about 1 degree every 72 years.

To me it makes much more sense to take the science of astrology from where the stars are actually placed, rather than where they were placed 2000 years ago. Once we had my own birth chart in the sidereal system it certainly rang very true for me! The system of sidereal astrology that we have been taught also takes the constellations at their actual sizes so it does not simply divide up the zodiac into 12 equal portions – it really can’t, because that is not how the constellations are – they are all different sizes. Excitingly my system also incorporates the 13th constellation of Ophiuchus, which was originally included in astrology in ancient times but has been left out for hundreds of years now. Ophiuchus should be included because it sits in the zodiac belt along with the other 12 constellations. Importantly though, what doesn’t change between Sidereal and Tropical Western astrology is the meanings, symbolism and psychology of the signs, planets and houses.

In natal chart, sixth house belongs to disease, eight houses for death similarly twelfth house indicates downfall of health. So diseases should be analyzed from the planets responsible given below. From the planets is in the sixth house eighth and twelfth house, lord of sixth house. Second and twelfth house is also called death houses so the period and sub-period of planets placed in these houses and the Mahadasha and Antardasha of lord of seventh house is guilty to give disorder.
