Mars and health Archives - Lynn Hayes astrology readings and writings

Christina Applegate and the astrology of Multiple Sclerosis

Longtime readers of this blog know that I have a special interest in the way the astrological chart reveals energy patterns which are associated with disease, and one way that this manifests is through what I call “Mars Problems.” Mars represents our drive and ability to take action, as well as the way we handle anger and frustration. When Mars is repressed or in a detrimental situation in the chart, we often find health problems such as digestive issues or immune problems.

I first wrote about this back in 2012 when I had a client with Multiple […]

UPDATE! Selma Blair kindly provided her birth time after reading and approving this post: 8:45 am. I’ve written a great deal over the years about the way the energies of the personality, as reflected in the natal chart, affect our health. The planetary position of Mars in the chart seems to have a great deal to do with ailments of all kinds including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other such immune system disorders. The way in which we respond to our health problems are also connected to our Mars placements. Mars in the birthchart shows the ways in which […]

Anger and heart disease

Connections between anger and heart disease are nothing new, and a recent New York Times article announces that anger can set off a heart attack.

Researchers combined data from nine studies of anger outbursts among patients who had had heart attacks, strokes and related problems. Most of the studies used a widely accepted anger assessment scale; one depended on a questionnaire administered to patients.

They found that in the two hours after an outburst of anger, the relative risk of angina and heart attack increased by nearly five […]

Mars retrograde December 2011- January 2012

Mars retrograde 2011-2012 You may have heard that Mars is getting ready to turn retrograde, an event that only occurs every two years or so. Mars is known as a malefic in traditional astrology signifying bad luck and loss (Mars is the “lesser malefic” and Saturn is the “greater malefic”), but in my work a strong Mars is absolutely essential for good fortune and for good health. Mars symbolizes our drive and inspiration, and the need each of us have for certain experiences. We need food to eat and experience hunger: that […]

A recent article in the New York Times reports that a study which evaluated the responses of 16 young men with “high trait anger” (short fuse reactions) after exercising on a stationary bike for 30 minutes.

[T]he results of the study suggest that “exercise, even a single bout of it, can have a robust prophylactic effect” against the buildup of anger, said Nathaniel Thom, a stress physiologist who was the study’s lead researcher.“It’s like taking aspirin to combat heart disease,” he said. “You […]

Apple Inc News: Steve Jobs’ Mars Problem

Steve Jobs is the creative genius behind the Apple Computing brand. After Jobs was forced out in 1985 the company floundered, reviving after he staged a takeover that brought him back as CEO.

From the advice column: Will I ever receive a proper diagnosis?

I have a particular interest in energy medicine and the underlying causes of illness as they appear in the birthchart. This is particularly true of mysterious symptoms that defy diagnosis. That said, I am not a medical professional and my comments are not to be considered a substitute for regular medical care. Still, I strongly believe that most illnesses originate in an energy imbalance and that correcting this imbalance can improve our health.

Q: Twenty years ago, I had an attack of shingles in my head.. leaving me with vertigo, deafness, no taste or smell on the left side of my […]
