(Paperback - Special)
Hippocrates said, "A physician cannot safely administer medicine if he is unacquainted with astrology." In "Astrology and Your Health" Jeanne Avery picks up where Hippocrates left off in this lively, practical, and state-of-the-art guide to the health secrets hidden in the horoscope. Avery covers the zodiac and its physical counterparts, how different zodiacal signs can manage their health, and how one's horoscope can hint at health issues before they surface.
While this will be of most interest to serious, charts-in-hand astrology buffs, there is quite a bit of New Age information included. Astrologer Avery, author of The Rising Sign ( LJ 1/1/82), offers alternative and preventive therapies as her book's major theme, including massage, acupuncture, crystals, herbs, colors, and meditation. She matches specific ailments with corresponding signs, and provides the best treatment for each. Libraries with large collections in astrology will want the book, although the primary market will be the New Age shop. So many books, methods, and practitioners are covered that a bibliography would have been helpful. Purchase where interest warrants.-- Jeanne S. Bagby, formerly with Tucson P.L., Ariz.
