The best outcome for a broken leg

Mem Hey Shin - Healing - This Hebrew name of God brings the energy of healing at the deepest level

Medical astrology is a passion. It is predictable when difficult times will come psychologically, emotionally, physically or spiritually. In the astrology chart there are three difficult houses the 6^th, the 8^th, and the 12th. The planets that rule these houses will carry their energetic charge wherever they go and they will afflict the house that they are in and any planets that they are associated with. Everyone has a 6th and 8th and a 12th house. These houses also have beneficial results. It just depends on a few different factors and how you use the energy. When multiple factors stack up is when we can see the potential for some kind of illness.

There are also malefic planets. These are Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu (AKA the north and south node), and to some degree the Sun simply because it's very hot and can burn things. The Moon is malefic if it is dark and waning. Mercury is malefic if associated with one of the malefic planets.

When I am looking at health I look at the Eastern zodiac placements in your natal chart and the Western aspects. Transits become very important along with the Dasha cycle. This is helpful knowledge because we can see how long the body or mind will be suffering. There is light at the end of the tunnel. But we should also consider all illness as a metaphor and go on a deep dive into our subconscious to see why this thing has occurred and what the lesson might be.

When I was 7 months old, I developed ear infections that spread through my body, and I almost died. I was in a Cancer/Taurus Jamini cycle. The moon a malefic Gnati Karka carries the same connotations as the 6^th house, and it is placed in my natal 8^th house.  Meaning I was born in a malefic cycle. At the same time Saturn was opposing my natal Sun, the Sun being a signifier of the body. And malefic Mars was within 1 degree of my chart ruler Mercury by transit both were placed in my natal 12^th house. At the same time Rahu and Ketu were transiting directly on my natal Sun within close degrees and conjunct transiting Saturn.

Saturn rules my dreaded 8^th house and the beneficial 9^th. The malefic planets, even when ruling good houses can inflict damage. In this scenario, we had all the malefic planets and all the Dushtana (difficult) houses turned on by placement or aspect. It is this kind of pile up that cements a chronic or serious illness.

This cycle continued until I was 8 years old. During these years I was afflicted with severe allergies & pneumonia. I almost died again when Saturn was conjunct my natal Sun by transit. Malefic Mars was again opposing my chart ruler Mercury which was in the 12^th house. Once this cycle passed everything cleared up. I have mild allergies today, but I have no major issues. It was an 8 year cycle of suffering.

On 9/16/2024 I broke my fibula. I was in a Saturn Venus Venus cycle. Again, malefic Saturn was opposing my chart ruler Mercury by transit. My Sun was being afflicted by Rahu and Ketu by transit. Mars was in my first house by transit and squaring my Sun and Rahu and Ketu within one degree. These transits matter greatly.  The main cycle itself is being run by the malefic 8^th lord. Again, in this instance all three malefic house lords of the 6^th, 8^th and 12^th were involved, and all the malefic planets were aspecting the Sun and the first house.

Over the years I have spent a lot of time meditating on these afflictions. This latest broken bone in my dominant right leg is very significant. A broken bone signifies your internal structure. As I have taken this apart, I feel like I am being asked to have a different stance in life.

I spent 20 years teaching yoga and then a morning exercise program while I raised my son. It was time to stop. I was tired, exhausted really, and it was time to go in a different direction.

Mars rules exercise, as does the 6^th house where my mars is powerfully placed in its own sign. Mars was talking to me telling me it was time to use its energy differently. We only have so much energy and so much time in a day or even in this life. As many of you know I stopped teaching all exercise and yoga classes a little while ago. That decision came as I pondered the meaning of the broken fibula.

Mars also rules conflict as does the 6^th house. As I let the old die the new has been born. My phone has been ringing off the hook for mediation. Mediation is the new stance I have taken in life to use my powerful mars. It is leading the way and things are busy in that arena.  

A couple years ago I read a book by Amanda Ripley called High Conflict.  At the end I knew I wanted to become a mediator. It knew this was part of my work, my service in this life. I signed up and completed the program for mediation through the University of S. Maine.

Mars is at its best when it is in service to something larger than itself.  Mars for me is my Atmakarka, which means the indicator for my soul. My mission is to bring peace to high conflict situations. I have been mediating divorces, real estate issues and small claims issues to keep all of it out of the court system and to help people reach agreements they have control over. The ending contract is a binding legal document without having to ever enter the legal system.

My leg has healed and is as strong as ever. Possibly stronger. I now spend my mornings on a two-hour hike. This is the blessing of difficult things when navigated consciously.

I am still seeing clients for astrology readings and astro-counseling too. Life is so good. I hope you are navigating your own life successfully. To get a little guidance have a check in or an astrology reading to see what the planetary energies are trying to say.
