Infos

The teaching of a "New Medical-Astrology" is an attempt to bring medicine and astrology closer together again. While medicine has continued to develop and gain new insights into the organs, classical astromedicine has hardly developed at all in the last 2000 years, since the doctrine that Aries begins with the head and Pisces ends with the feet. After 40 years of thorough research, the New Medical Astrology is now based on 12 vital organ systems within the head and torso, which correspond to the 12 signs of the zodiac. Unlike in Hippocrates time more than 2000 years ago, the arms and legs do not play a major role in the new classification, as they do not represent vital organs. This work is a new connection between the psychological astrology, human anatomy, psychosomatics and eye diagnosis. This textbook forms the basis for learning astrology, New Medical Astrology, and at the same time forms a bridge to the psychosomatic explanations of illnesses in relation to the individual zodiac signs. The intention was to write a textbook in an easily understandable way and to avoid confusing foreign or technical terms that too difficult to understand. This makes it equally suitable for learning, teaching or just exploring for both young and old explorers of astrology. This astrological textbook includes the following topics: The basics of astrology, planets and elements The astrological house system based on Placidus The beginnings of Astrological Medicine The basics of the New Medical Astrology The twelve zodiac signs and their anatomical assignments The strengths and weaknesses of each zodiac sign The psychosomatic meanings to most diseases.

The alternative practitioner and astrologer Mario Kertscher has had his own naturopathic practice in Lübeck since 1986 and has now published finally the 3. edition of New Medical-Astrology in English with a completely new organic assignment to the signs of the zodiac as well as many psychosomatic details on the organs and explanations about the psychological causes of illnesses. It is written for laypeople with no previous astrological or medical knowledge, but also for psychologists, alternative practitioners, doctors and anyone who is curious and wants to learn about astrology.

Textauszug

Preface

Dear Readers, Astrologers, and Astrological Laymen

First of all, I would like to emphasize that this book is not intended to identify or even predict illness from the outset on the basis of the zodiac signs, planets or problematic aspects, directions, transits, or anything else available to astrologers. Illnesses arise mainly from problems in our psyche, our emotional world, suppressed emotions and sometimes these were already problems of our ancestors (see “How does a disease develop”). In the meantime, many people have done excellent work by studying psychosomatics since the 1980s. It started with the book “Illness as a path” by Thorwald Dethlefsen and Ruediger Dahlke, Louise Hay followed with the book “Heal your body” and then books after books appeared with new insights from e.g. Ruediger Dahlke, Henry G. Tietze, Antonie Peppler and most recently Jacques Martel. All these people have dealt intensively with the effect of our emotions on our body and, above all, with their role in the development of illnesses. I myself have held countless seminars on the subject of “Illness as the language of the body” already since 1993. It is therefore essential that I incorporate this experience into the subject of Medical Astrology. Since astrology, which today is actually more “psychological astrology”, only deals with the character of the twelve signs of the zodiac and the psychological effect of the planets, there is a very close connection here. I have been working with astrology alongside naturopathy since the 1980s and in recent decades I have increasingly learned to treat my patients through a symbiosis of the two disciplines. As one of the many ways of diagnosing illnesses in my practice is eye diagnosis, technically known as iris diagnosis, I was extremely surprised when one day at a congress I attended a lecture by Dr. Francisco Verdú in which he combined eye diagnosis with astrology. To do this, he used his patients’ horoscope drawings and superimposed them over their eye photographs, as I will explain in more detail elsewhere. This was the longed-for cornerstone that I was still missing for my own research in order to finally gain a better understanding of astrological medicine. For too long, the ancient system from 100 A.D. of the “Zodiac-man” from head to feet from antiquity had bothered me and made me nervous, because I had long suspected that this representation could not be correct in many respects. I will also explain this further later in a suitable place. It used to be thought that Aries ruled over the head, Taurus over the neck down to Pisces, which ultimately had to rule over the feet. Basically, this assumption was astonishingly well observed as long as we are talking about the vital human head and torso, because that is where the vital organs are located. Arms and legs, however, are only appendages, executive muscles and bones for action and progress in life, as I will explain separately in the chapter on Arms and Legs. Even back then, I thought that with 12 zodiac signs, each sign should be connected to at least one important organ of the body that is equally important for all the other players, and without which all the others could not manage. We could still live well without legs, but Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces would be completely deprived of their “organs” according to the medieval concept. For centuries, astrology and other disciplines assumed that the most important “life-giving” organ, which was supposed to reflect the life forces and therefore the Sun, had to be the heart and therefore served Leo. Later in this book, I will explain as precisely as possible why the liver actually corresponds so much better to this task and why the heart surrounded by the lungs is assigned to Gemini, with regard to the functions and anatomy of the organs. The aim is to analyze these old ideas objectively and possibly replace them with new findings. If necessary, they must also be questioned completely, namely where mistakes have simply been made, so that the whole system can be examined with logic and expertise. In any case, it is astonishing that most of the classifications over a period of more than 4000 years were purely empirical, i.e. based purely on human observation, and were already very accurate. However, these classifications often arose from completely different backgrounds. In ancient times, anatomical knowledge was not really used, as it hardly existed and corpses could not simply be opened for religious reasons, primarily to avoid desecrating the soul. So, this division of the human being from “head to feet” for the 12 signs of the zodiac became the basis for the whole of Astro-Medicine and, as I found out, influenced other areas everywhere, even psychology and psychosomatics, especially when you look at the heart and liver, right up to the present day. Love still stands for the heart. If something didn’t fit back then, it was often made to fit with explanations. It simply seems that no one dares to question this old system and thus expose themselves to the displeasure of their colleagues, as I, for example, have been doing for decades. In addition, in former times writing, studies, astrology and medicine were often under the control of the church or the priests and their scholars, and subsequently less and less physicians were interested in astrology.

Over the last 30 years, I then came across more and more new models for assigning the zodiac signs to the organs. So, I finally came to the conclusion, just like the Spanish doctor Dr. Francisco Verdú, who still inspires me today, that the organ that is best assigned to the life force of the Sun is our liver. No other organ is so creative and full of vitality. The liver has tremendous regenerative powers. The heart, on the other hand, is surrounded by the lungs. The heart does not correspond to the vitality of the Sun, but is rather a pump with two chambers, driven by a nerve plexus (Mercury) that works very closely with the lungs. It works exclusively for communication throughout the body and transports blood cells, antibodies and hormones throughout the body so that all cells can communicate with each other. However, communication is definitely the responsibility of Gemini and sanguine. Further investigations that I have undertaken in recent years have confirmed this fact again and again. In my practice, the cause of heart disease took on a completely new meaning as a sign of a recurring communication disorder. For many years now, I have been harboring the idea of one day completely re-examining the organs of the zodiac signs and writing down this knowledge as a stimulus for further research. You can now let my explanations speak for themselves and over the years the fear of being wrong evaporated through all the case histories in my practice and with all colleagues. Meanwhile we studied thousand cases in our “New Medical Astrology” Facebook groups. Despite all my euphoria, I always remained highly critical and struggled with self-doubt. However, the further I got with this book and the more research I did, the more I was confirmed that it was correct and that the mistakes were done only in the past, as a result of a lack of knowledge. Incidentally, it has always been a concern of mine to write books or lectures only in such a way that they will be easy to understand and that I avoid foreign words as much as possible. In other words, this should be a book for “laymen” as well as for academics.

My Greatest Wish

May this book serve the “New Medical Astrology” and give it the push it needs to build on a better, scientifically based foundation. Most of Astro-Medicine was based on the very old idea of the ancient Astro-man (Homo Signorum), in which Manilius and Galenus started from a division in which the sign Aries was assigned the head and Pisces the feet at the end. This idea has been a recurring theme throughout history for more than 2000 years. The body was divided into twelve sections and “the organs” or parts of the body were then assigned to it, at a time when many organs or glands were not even known yet or neither properly understood. In this book, stimulated by many inspirations from empathic masterminds and finally, of course, by my career through the many medical disciplines, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to bring out a partly completely new allocation of the organs for the individual zodiac signs, which ultimately corresponds to a fairly accurate character representation of twelve different basic beings. However, this need does not exist out of a desire to invent something completely new, possibly out of vanity, in order to become a new discoverer. It is driven solely by an inner desire to correct and improve something that was not even possible at the time. Without ever knowing my ancestors, I “coincidentally” come from an old family of doctors, vets, pharmacists, psychologists and even spiritists. Through my decades of research and involvement with astrology, eye diagnosis, acupuncture, leeches, anatomy and medicine, human illnesses and, above all, psychosomatics, I succeeded over time in assigning the physical functions and organs to the twelve zodiac signs in such a way that everything became more and more coherent and even I, as my worst critic, could be satisfied. The more I wrote on this book, the more I received new explanations in my dreams at night. My hope now is that by using these basics, more and more curious astrologers will take a closer look at the anatomy before they deal astrologically...
