ASTROLOGY AND HEALTH - ARIES

Due to a raging case of flu, I was not able to post this at the appropriate time.

ASTROLOGY and HEALTH - ARIES 

Surprising though this may be to some, astrology begat medicine.  It was the Sumerians (2900 - 1800 B.C.) who invented astrology, and demonstrated that astrology produced the most sophisticated astronomical knowledge ever seen to that date.  In the early 1920s, the 660 medical tablets from the Sumerian Library of Asshurbanipal were published by Cambell Thompson.

The practice of modern American medicine is described as allopathic medicine, a system divorced from prevention that looks upon disease as the enemy and the human body as a machine.  Such self-styled 'healers' in their capacity as mechanics prefer invasive treatments, drugs and surgery as their approach in their overview that the whole is the same as its parts.  The result of their unnatural approach:  Doctors in the United States are the third leading cause of death. 

The only way to avoid a looming train wreck from unnecessary surgery, medication errors in hospitals, infections in hospitals, and miscellaneous errors is to assume responsibility for your own health and welfare.  How many surgeries, how many diseases suffered could be prevented if you had knowledge of your physical body, such as what specific nutritional aids would be required in a given year of your life to achieve or maintain excellent health?

ZODIAC SIGN OF THE MONTH

Each sign of the zodiac rules a specific part of the human body and has requirements distinct from all other zodiacal signs.  The first sign of the zodiac is Aries, ruling the head and face, the upper jaw, and the cerebrum (upper hemisphere of the brain).  The explicit nutritional necessity is a biochemic salt known as Potassium phosphate (Kali phos), the tissue salt that creates the grey matter of the brain by uniting albumen and oxygen.  Without this salt the brain simply cannot function.  All mental disorders require Kali phos., as do all manner of nerve troubles, depression, insomnia, irritability, hysteria and headaches.

Kali phos. is a nerve nutrient and helps to maintain a happy, contented disposition and sharpening the mental faculties...often helpful to school children.  Early symptoms of a lack may be fretfulness, ill-humor, timidity, laziness and any display of tantrums.  This tissue salt is an important constituent of nervous tissue and consequently has a wide and powerful influence on the bodily functions. 

For those who wish to supply potassium phosphate to their bodies in foods, the following site offers much information and in what foods it can be found.  http://www.livestrong.com/article/261134-foods-containing-phosphates-potassium/

As written in Astrology and Biochemisty by Vanda Sawtell:

"The late Dr. Forbes-Ross stated that shortages of potassium was the main cause of cancer, and reported cases where cures were effected when potassium was administered in an assimilable form.  Incidentally, crude black molasses provides one of the best means of obtaining a good supply of potassium in the diet."

People who were born with the Sun or Moon in Aries or who have Aries on the Ascendant, and when planets in Aries or the Ascendant are under progressed or transiting afflictions can avoid the illnesses above mentioned and enjoy excellent health by supplying their bodies with Kali phos.  

HERBS THAT RESONATE WITH ARIES:  Hemp, mustard, broom, holly, dock, thistle, fern, garlic, onions, nettles, radishes, poppies, peppers, and rhubarb.

A wonderful herbal healing beverage for anyone with planets in Aries and its polarity sign, Libra is Stinging Nettle Super Tea.

Of an evening, place two tablespoons of cut and sifted dried Stinging nettle herb (Urtica dioica) in a pint mason jar and cover with boiling water.  Cover and steep overnight.  The next morning strain the brew and drink throughout the day.  This will provide a nourishing adjunct to your diet that is powerful enough to heal damaged tissue.  Kidneys, lungs, intestines, and arteries are tonified and strengthened and becomes an ally in restoring and maintaining the health of your adrenals, hormonal and circulatory systems, including your magnetic fields.  Nutritionally this herb cannot be outdone as it is very high in calcium, magnesium, trace minerals, and chlorophyll and is high in lutein, chromium, cobalt, iron, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, and sulphur, in addition to the B-complex of vitamins and the carotenes (measured as vitamin A).  In lesser amounts are found protein, manganese, selenium, silicon, tin, vitamin C-Complex (measured as ascorbic acid) and vitamins D and K.
