How I took the beginning of the dvd course is that planets house sign archetypes are interchangeable or synonymous. I have this feeling that there’s exceptions though.
Like the sixth house and mercury.
Can we say sixth house deals with health?
Does mercury as well?
Any links to clarify the differences would be much appreciated as I’m not sure how to search (I have tried prior to asking!).
I have to deeply understand in order to intuit and I really want to do this well.
Hi dominikas_103
Can we say sixth house deals with health? Does mercury as well?
**********
Yes to both. The 6th House, Virgo, and Mercury all correlate to the physical and mental health of the human being as it interfaces with it's environment in general, and its work environment specifically.
Below is from JWG's book on Medical Astrology that describes the anatomical and physiological correlations of the 6th House, Mercury, and Virgo:
Mercury – Virgo – 6th House
Anatomical Correlations – Mercury
Amygdala with the Moon, Pluto, and Uranus
Anatomy of the ear
Arms and hands
Entire central Nervous system with co-ruler Uranus
Left hemisphere: with Uranus
Motor nerves
Neurotransmitters with Uranus and Neptune
Sciatic nerves with co-ruler Uranus and Jupiter
Sympathetic and parasympathetic systems with co-rulers
the Moon and Uranus*
Temporal lobe with Uranus
*The nervous system is made up of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). Comprised of neural and nervous tissue, the CNS and PNS
transmit signals from the brain to the body parts (muscles, glands, sense organs) to activate a response which correlates with co-rulers Uranus and Pluto.
Chakra System Correlation – Mercury
Throat chakra
Additional Correlations – Mercury
With co-ruler Uranus it correlates with the very nature of thought: thinking. As a result it correlates with the 'messaging' taking place within the entire physical body that is ultimately traceable to the various areas within the brain itself. Additionally, Mercury with Uranus correlates to all the transmissions within the body that all involve the body communicating with itself. Additionally, this correlates with all the external transmissions that come into the body that impacts on how the body reacts to those transmissions. In combination these then correlate to how the body, and the Soul within it, transmits or communicates itself to others
specifically, and the overall environment generally.
