Are you predisposed to sciatica or a nervous stomach? When do these typically flare up? When is the best time to fill a cavity? 

A good medical astrologer can provide greater insights by linking seemingly unrelated symptoms to illuminate what's wrong with the body’s physical and mental functions. This is one of the most ancient and practical uses of the stars. In fact, it can even be used to choose ideal surgery dates to avoid potential unforeseen complications. At its most basic function, medical astrology can help you know when your chi force will be weak and help you plan your week or even the year ahead accordingly.

Fun fact: in the Renaissance, physicians needed proficiency in astrology before becoming doctors, because they recognised that all of nature’s cycles are interdependent. 

Is yours a life of corporate work, or one as an educator? Perhaps the path was to become a floral expert, or maybe an animal trainer.  

Traditional educational curriculums make it challenging to fully identify and lean into one’s core strengths and skills, but we can all agree that the sooner one gets to it, the better. Birth charts can shed light on your professional potential, and one of the best times to check your vocational astrological signatures is as a child or teenager. Astrology is not just for adults—children can benefit too! 

In the same vein, knowing when to launch a business or ask for a raise can make or break a year. Bringing back the weather app metaphor, in the same way the app can help you avoid planning an expensive beach holiday during monsoon season, a year-ahead reading can give insights as to when to plan your networking nights, or when to stay at home to focus on financial administration. 

A calendar reading can also highlight a career peak, a lull or when to expect a big change. Charts can also be drawn to determine a company’s potential for success, or a property’s investment viability. Astrological cycles are not unlike economic cycles in this way. While it is easy to accept markets will experience peaks and troughs, accepting that your financial path will also have ups and downs can offer perspective and reduce the pressure to be performing at full speed all the time. There are days for investing, and there are days for saving … which part of the cycle are you in?

The miracle of children is shrouded in mystery. Why is it easy for some to get pregnant and challenging for others is a question that baffles even the most attuned medical experts. Using a couple’s birth charts, astrology’s timing techniques can help maximise the best opportunities for conception—or to avoid it! It can even help you elect the right date for a C-section for safe delivery. At the same time, not all women want to give birth to children; they may prefer to give birth to other life projects instead. And this is also something that can be read in a birth chart.

Nature offers answers to many, if not all, of life’s questions—if we know how to read the clues. Astrology has its roots in many practical applications, so use them!
