Medical Astrology is a term not very widely used lately, probably due to the amazing evolution of Western Medicine. Epidemiology and health statistics, as well as other facts, are being constantly analyzed by the proper medical organizations such as the World Health Organization and other official and unofficial bureaus.
Yet, very recently, it seems that an astrological wind blows over the strict scientific community. Watching the Stars move may help us understand better ourselves, our motives, our advantages and disadvantages and much more parts of our psyche. The roots of Medical astrology can be traced back to the Chaldeans, Sumerians and Assyrians.
In ancient Egypt astrology was used widely in treating and diagnosing diseases while in ancient Greece, Hippocrates paid much attention to the movement of the Stars as he considered that Astrology to be a very powerful weapon in the hands of a Medical Doctor. However if you face – or your think you may face – a health issue you should always consult with your Medical Doctor first!

Pride plays a very essential role in this sign thus fear of failure stresses them so much that they always want to give their best in anything they do.
This pushes them to hurry in almost everything they try to cope with. The drive fast, the move fast, they work fast. This can cause many accidents especially when they use sharp or mechanical objects or even vehicles.

Meditation and Yoga are very very suitable for Pisces.
