Using your natal horoscope to foresee and prevent health problems is a concern as old as Hippocrates and Ptolemy. In Astrology Nutrition & Health, author Robert Carl Jansky draws on his background in both biochemistry and astrology, detailing how a knowledge of astrology can help readers understand the components of metabolism and health.
Jansky explains how the signs of the zodiac relate to different parts of the body and how the houses of a natal horoscope are related to food preferences and nutritional needs. He shows that the planetary aspects in a chart represent the flow of energy among the various systems of the body, which can indicate potential health problems.
Discover insights such as which planets rule particular food groups, and how they impact digestion, metabolism, and more, as well as practical takeaways like how to use planetary transits to select the best time for elective surgery.
Of special interest is the author's presentation of a new theory in the field of astrology, the nodal chart, and how the positions of the Moon Nodes in their birth chart reveal information about the querent's physical makeup.
have found this book to be a treasure trove of information on astrological rulership of the body and also sign vulnerabilities. Highly recommended to anyone interested in biochemistry & medical astrology.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer here...this book is outstanding. I have medical astrology books by Starck, Tyl, Hill etc; but they are'nt user friendly and they leave a lot of questions still hanging in the air... This book is down to earth and reads as clear as a bell. The author covers a wide variety of nutrients, foods, hormones, etc. which are required to keep the body in top physical working order and his explanation of rulerships is in depth and accurate. It is difficult to put this book down once you pick it up.....his writing is both facinating and educational. He discusses glands, proteins in the diet, carbohydrates, metabolism, vitamins, minerals and cell salts and a dozen more issues related to our physical/mental health. This book is an Astrological explosion of wisdom and intelligence...I don't know why it took me so long to find it... I have referred this book to everyone in my astrology group and I will do the same for you....This book is extraordinary in its simplicity!!! Order it before they're all gone!! With much appreciation to the author and his love of Astrology... Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Cheers, Kiwi
Amazing!

I own multiple books on astrology, probably around 30 from the great authors such as Tyl, Hand, Spiller, Greene, Arroyo, Cunningham, Pond, Parker, etc. I was relatively unfamiliar w/ this author but was interested in the title. Each page of this thin book contains 5 pages of information you'd find in the other books. His writing style is clear and to the point. I found it difficult to put this book down and honestly to fully absorb each page (usually I read a book quickly and still retain information) I did linger on his words. I now wish more of his books were still in print. If you have any interest in health and nutrition,or just astrology in general this book is a gem.
