[Eileen Naumann from Medical Astrology]
The positions of the planets and luminaries often determine the best and
worst times for a person to undergo surgery. Following are guidelines for
planning operations astrologically:
Try to plan an operation five
days before or after the new Moon. At this time, fluids are at their lowest
ebb; consequently, there is less chance of swelling.
Try to plan an operation when
the transiting Moon is in a fixed sign: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius. With
such a placement the operation should go as planned, the surgeon’s hand should
be steady, and no further complications should arise.
Try to plan an operation when
the transiting Moon is sextile or trine to natal, progressed or transiting
Venus, Mars, or Jupiter. Such an aspect will help the surgery go smoothly. The
transiting Moon sextile or trine Mars will also help insure that the surgeon
will have a quick, clean cutting hand and will know what he or she is doing.
Avoid operations five days
before or after a full Moon. At this time bodily fluids are at their highest
and can cause excessive swelling, hemorrhaging or seepage from wounds.
A day in which the Moon is
void of course is a bad one for surgery. On such a day there is a good
possibility that the operation won’t be performed correctly, complications
will arise or that a second
operation will become necessary.
Avoid an operation on that
part of the body ruled by the sign in which the Moon is transiting.
Avoid surgery when the Moon is
in a mutable sign: Virgo, Gemini, Pisces or Sagittarius.
Avoid surgery when the
transiting Moon is combust or within 17° of the natal Sun, Moon or Mars.
Avoid surgery when the
transiting Moon is square, opposite or inconjunct the natal or transiting Sun,
Mars, Saturn,
Moon can mean excessive bleeding or inflammation after surgery. Saturn
can mean chronic or very serious complications.
Avoid surgery when Mercury or
Mars is retrograding. Mercury retrograding can mean misunderstandings,
mistakes, and confusion. Since Mars is the planet of surgeons, when it goes
retrograde surgeons tend not to be at their steadiest or most reliable: they
may not be able to concentrate well. Furthermore, Mars retrograding can mean
heavy loss of blood.
Every sign corresponds to a part of the body. For example Aries is
associated with the head. Therefore, Moon in Aries is not the time to operate
on the ears, jaw, brain, eyes, head, or face.
