I have a chronic illness — what does my chart say?

Chronic illness often has a clear elemental signature in the destiny chart. Ba Zi maps each element to organ systems: Wood = liver and gallbladder; Fire = heart and small intestine; Earth = spleen and stomach; Metal = lungs and large intestine; Water = kidneys and bladder. An excessively weak or clashing element in your chart often correlates with vulnerability in the corresponding organ system. Jyotish maps planets to body systems: Sun = heart and spine, Moon = mind and fluids, Mars = blood and muscles, Mercury = nervous system, Jupiter = liver and fat, Venus = kidneys and reproductive system, Saturn = bones and joints. Western Astrology examines the 6th house and 12th house for chronic health patterns.
