Yıldızların Hükmünde Bir Hastalık: Sibly ve Tıbbi Astroloji

I created these astrological charts while living in Bristol at the request of my good friend Dr. Till Adams. He had been struck by a malignant fever accompanied by dangerous symptoms; being himself a friend to and an admirer of the Occult Sciences, he was desirous of seeing the result of such an inquiry, and of judging for himself, by these means, whether he should live or die. In considering the sidereal effect of the preceding figures, it is by no means necessary to calculate the genethliacal prognostications of the seven planets at the time of the subject's birth. It is, however, necessary to notice their principal aspects and positions in the horoscope, in order to determine whether the same positions are repeated at the time the patient is taken ill. We are not considering the lifelong fate of a birth chart; rather, we are endeavouring to prove that, by only observing the position of the heavens at the time the patient is taken ill, the probable termination of the disease might be foretold, and whether it would end in life or death. First, then, we may observe that the Moon is situated in the eighth house, termed by the ancients the house of death, because of its obscurity and position under the earth. Besides this, we find the Moon in opposition to Saturn, and immediately approaching an opposition to the Sun, the fountain of life. These furnish a very unfavourable prospect for the outcome of the disease.
