I am not sure why, but I noted the the date and time that I took the antibiotic in February. Knowing the date and, more importantly the time, I can create and have a go at analysing the chart.
So what does this tell me?
In health astrology the planets are the activating energy. I am looking first at the Sun which is 18 Aquarius and in fall meaning the vital force is weak in this chart.
In health astrology the signs are the likely afflicted body parts and Aquarius is associated with ankles, lower legs, circulation and the electrical system of the body. Aquarians are prone to light deficiency, fatigue, depression and anaemia. The vital force, the Sun, in this sign is electrical and erratic appearing in spasmodic spurts or power surges of energy followed by periods of low force on all levels. Aquarians are very sensitive to electromagnet and barometric changes. Aquarian diseases include anaemia, nervous sensitivity, muscle spasms, blood poisoning, cold extremities, fatigue, "undiagnosable" ailments, low blood pressure, mental extremes. Aquarius is also associated with the Pyramidal Tract (Corticospinal tract) which "is a massive bundle of nerve cells that carry motor commands from the brain down the spinal cord. Most of the nerve fibres cross over to the opposite side at the top of the spine and run down the length of the spinal column to the arma and legs. This 'wires up' the extremetities to the brain which can then send electrical signals down the nerves to order the body to make voluntary movements". (A Handbook of Medical Astrology, JaneRidder-Patrick).
In this chart the Sun is also conjunct Chiron and Neptune. I do not have much information about Chiron and health but given his reputation as the wounded healer - the demi-god who could not heal himself and could not die - it might suggest a similar kind of wounding to the life force. Neptune's energy is weakening, draining, confusing, often associated with wrong diagnosis, secret poisoning, virus, sedative drugs, spinal fluid and electromagnetic poisoning.
The Sun is at 18 degrees and this is associated with Glomerulonephritis which is a type of kidney disease. The kidneys are often referred to as the body's "battery". This degree is also asociated with the spinal nervous system and is Azimene, a very weak point.
So, just considering the Sun in this chart the energy has a distinct electrical and weakening theme combined with problems of diagnosis.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus which is in the 6th house opposite Saturn in the 12th. The 6th and 12th houses are "health" houses in astrology so it would appear that the energy here is likely to have a health focus. This is particularly so when considering the Saturn Uranus opposition which is almost exact at this time.
It's worth looking at the energies of Uranus and Saturn in addition to the Sun in this chart to see what other kind of "activity" taking this drug at this time would produce. Uranus is associated with the electrical currents in the body. Spasms, extremes, unexpected surprises, chaos, imbalance to brain chemistry or hormones, electromagnetic poisoning, motor nerve issues and possible thyroid issues.
Saturn is the heavy weight when it comes to astrology and health along with Mars and the South Node. Saturn's energy is freezing, depriving, limiting, restricting, slowing, hardening, stiffening, the gall bladder, bones, ligaments and the overall strength of the body. In this chart there is a trine aspect between Saturn and Mercury which is worth mentioning because aspects between these two planets can indicate an underfunctioning of the nervous system generally (especially the part involved with speach and hearing).
This chart also shows a slight emphasis of the air element which is associated with being scattered, nervous, mentally unbalanced or fatigued, restlessness, cold, anaemia and hypersensitivity.
So the theme of energy, electricity and weaking/fatigue can be seen again.
The chart ruler is Libra ruled by Venus in the 6th house of health. Venus is in detriment meaning it will be operating with difficulty. Venus is associated with being sloppy, lazy, sugar problems, loss of muscular tone, female body parts and hormones, taste, touch and the Thymus and Thyroid glands. Venus is in Aries so this energy would manifest in Aries associated ways which include hormone and kidney problems. Venus at 3 degrees is specifically associated with the cerbebellum. The cerebellum is involved in the motor processes and Venus in detriment would provide further indication that this function may be weakened.
Venus squares Pluto in the 3rd house. Pluto is associated with "very serious or terminal conditions that demand the utmost application of the spiritual will" (Judith Hill, Medical Astrology). Pluto, wherever he is, is usually life changing in some way. It is interesting that he, the "planet" of the underworld is hiding right down at the bottom of the chart. I believe that Pluto may be linked to Kundalini as there are considerable parallels between their respective energies. Pluto is associated with transformation, death and birth, eruption of hidden and unconscious emotions to the surface.
The Nodes are so important in medical astrology so I want to look at the nodes also. The Nodal Axis is Aquarius, Leo, 4th and 10th houses. The N Node is in Aquarius associated with blood pressure, ankles and blood diseases. The N Node is conjunct Mars and Jupiter. The N Node conjunct Mars is associated with abundant energy, strong muscles, excess adrenaline, nerves of steel and courage. The N Node conjunct Jupiter is associated with obesity, toxic liver and tumors. The S Node in Leo is associated with a weak heart, eyesight and back.
The S Node is generally considered weak or draining and the N Node strengthening and energising. Given that the planets are conjunct, and therefore lend themselves to a blending of energy, the strengthening effect may be enhanced. The weakening effect of the S Node will be challenged by the opposition aspect.
Finally, I want to mention the Moon. It is so prominent in this chart right up at the top in the 10th house in Cancer. The Moon is in it's own sign of Cancer. In health astrology the moon in Cancer is associated with sensitive health. With this placement the brain chemistry, hormones and general health may change abruptly in response to external conditions. More specifically there may be allergies, upset stomach and skin sensitivity to sun (often common side effects associated with antibiotics).
Fascinating! The chart would point to an illness affecting the body's electrical system that is very weakening. Sounds like it could be a good fit for ME or Post Viral Fatigue. The Moon is in the most public position of the chart indicating how others may view the illness/situation. It is interesting that it is in the particularly sensitive placement of Cancer suggesting that others may see the the situation as emotional in origin. This fits well with all tests being negative at the time. When mainstream medical tests don't show anything it is often then that they decide to accept the mind body connection and suggest that the illness is indeed "emotional". At the beginning of the illness it was suspected that I had a kidney problem and this is shown clearly in this chart too (Venus in Aries square Pluto).
All I can say is I wish I had done this before I took the tablets although I didn't need to because as I sat there with the box of pills in my hand that little voice in my head said quite clearly "do not take them, you will regret it". I ignored the little voice - but not any more.
