I've been feeling kind of run down the past few weeks, have headaches and a few other symptoms. Also I haven't gone to any kind of doctor in a while so I thought it would be a good idea to see several since I now have some good insurance. I saw my primary care doctor who didn't find much wrong consistently but she's doing more blood work. I saw a dermatologist last week and she found many pre-cancerous lesions on my head and face. One in particular concerned her. She said it could be skin cancer so she did a biopsy and we're still waiting for the results. Today I saw the dentist who did a panorama x-ray of my sinuses. She saw something in the right sinus behind the nose, something solid but she didn't know what it was and recommended that I see a specialist.

I did this chart last week before I saw the dermatologist and dentist. The date was March 2 at 8:49 PM, EST in Falls Church, VA.

I'm represented by Venus, dignified by exaltation and term but going towards combustion in the 5th house. This is usually the sign of the start of an illness. The 6th house ruler Jupiter is peregrine at the end of the 4th house but has no contact at all with my significator. The Moon is about to make a trine to Venus from the 1st house. I'm not sure about this chart, partly because the situation is so personal that its hard to be objective. I would think that there would have to be some contact between the 6th house ruler and ASC ruler. The Moon is going to make several contacts after that trine with Venus, namely a square with a very strong Saturn in the 4th house. The antiscia of Venus is close to Spica in the ASC but I feel like I'm grasping at n straws.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Hello MarkF,

VenusL1 Exalted but Combust the Sun (Antiscia ASC) and conjunct Neptune shows your concern and the uncertainty about your health (VenusL1 and Sun ruled by JupiterL6.
Jupiter rules the liver and production of bile, the pancreas, blood, detoxification of the body through the liver, fat metabolism, cholesterol production, uric acid.
It is said to rule Silica and Chromium. Deficiencies will create skin problems, hair loss and white spots on fingernails. Chromium deficiencies will create arteriosclerosis and elevate blood sugar levels. (Alphee Lavoie)
The Part of Sickness conjunct Saturn (skin problem)

Next aspect of the Moon is a trine to VenusL1 and then a square to Part of Sickness conjunct Saturn. The Moon is also Antiscia Fortuna which is a protection in this matter.

The first doctor you saw 7th House ruled by Mars in detriment about to change sign and ruling the Moon suggests he is not qualified for a diagnostic and will drop the case. Consult a more qualified specialist.

Skin problems respond well to treatments L1 exalted and Sun Antiscia ASC should give you enough vitality to get good results.

Best to you,
Ouranos

Ouranos,

Thank you so much for your advice. I'm sorry that I didn't respond earlier.

I don't see the Moon and Fortuna being antiscia each other. I use the day formula for both night and day charts though.

My overall question is still this. Given that the 6th house ruler Jupiter doesn't make contact with me, how serious can this all be? What we have here is:

- the ASC ruler Venus exalted but moving towards combustion, which usually indicates the start of an illness

- The Part of Sickness conjunct Saturn

- The Moon's second aspect being a square to Saturn and the Part of Sickness

Is that enough to show something serious? It seems to be more than enough, even without the 6th house ruler being in contact with the ASC ruler.

How is Saturn associated with skin problems?

I heard back from the dermatologist and it is a mild form of skin cancer. I see the ENT doctor on Wednesday to find out what is in the nasal passage that is showing up on the x-ray.

Perhaps Saturn rules this particular problem, even though it's not the 6th house ruler. Saturn rules Jupiter, which in turn rules the Sun and ASC house ruler. Saturn is in its own house, which indicates a problem with the head. Both the skin cancer and the blockage in the nasal passage are in the head. How does that strike you?

I do have diabetes, which as you note is associated with Jupiter. Lilly describes a way of finding out the nature of an illness by seeing in which sign the 6th house ruler is placed. Jupiter rules both Sagittarius and Pisces. Jupiter is in the 3rd house from Sagittarius and the 11th house from Pisces. That would show either a problem with the neck, lungs (maybe the nasal passages?) or arms and hands. It could also show a problem with the legs and shins. The former possibility seems more appropriate. How does that strike you?

Should I take a silica and chromium supplement? Have you had any luck with them? How does Jupiter rule those nutrients?

I see that Mars rules the doctor here but which doctor? My primary care doctor? The dermatologist? The dentist? The ear-nose and throat doctor, who I haven't met yet? Leaving aside astrology, the one I trust the least is my primary care doctor, mainly because she seems to only treat people on Medicaid, which is never a good sign.

I'm still botherd by Venus being combust, even if it is exalted.

Hello MarkF,

I don't see the Moon and Fortuna being antiscia each other. I use the day formula for both night and day charts though

I used the night formula showing Fortuna at 26Aqu37

Given that the 6th house ruler Jupiter doesn't make contact with me, how serious can this all be?

You are right, Lord of ASC doesn't make contact with Venus but the Moon, co-ruler and in the 1st House Via Combusta does (squaring Part of Illness and Saturn). ASC shows health, 6th House disease. ASC ruler exalted in his own term shows good health although weakened by beiing combust. You cannot see clearly right now but everything will be allright!
Lilly says if the Lord of the Ascendant (Venus) is combust, neither question propounded will take, or Querent be regulated, meaning that your question 'Am I seriously ill?' means No you are not seriously ill.
But you need to make adjustments and changes (trine Moon in Scorpio). And you will have resistance to make these changes (Fixed sign) but they will be beneficial (trine).
Sun-Venus in Pisces rule the lymph system, in the 5th House. Engage in sports, sweat, do yoga, meditation. Change your diet, reduce dairy and flour products. Include lots of leafy green vegetables in your diet (cabbage, cauliflower, kale, swiss chard, brussel sprouts,etc) Follow medical advices and treatments you will receive.

How is Saturn associated with skin problems?

Saturn rules the skin
Skin problems is a Yin disease meaning it can be treated more easily than Yang type of cancers (like prostate, bones, brain).
Saturn is in the term of Venus(L1) and your ASC in the term of Jupiter (L6)
Diabetes is another symptom of this.

Should I take a silica and chromium supplement? Have you had any luck with them? How does Jupiter rule those nutrients?

I am not a specialist in supplements. Please consult specialists

I see that Mars rules the doctor here but which doctor? My primary care doctor? The dermatologist? The dentist? The ear-nose and throat doctor, who I haven't met yet? Leaving aside astrology, the one I trust the least is my primary care doctor, mainly because she seems to only treat people on Medicaid, which is never a good sign.

I was thinking more of your primary care doctor because of her condition (about to leave Taurus).
Otherwise, there are good indications you will be taken care of.
Moon in the Rulership, Triplicity, Bound and Face of Mars.
Mars in the Exaltation and Triciplity of Moon
Venus in the Triplicity of Mars and Mars ruled by Venus (You do have your say in the matter!)

May good health envelop you, spurring a quick recovery!
It isn’t always easy, but when you’re not feeling well, I hope it helps to know others are thinking of you, and hoping that you’ll be better very soon. Take good care of yourself.
