Introduction to Decumbiture - Paperback

by Wanda Sellar (Author)

A decumbiture chart, taken from the time a patient 'takes to their bed' (Latin decumbere, to lie down), is a traditional technique used in medical astrology to help discover the causes of an illness and to ascertain if the treatment is working and whether recovery is likely. Very few of us have the luxury of taking to our beds these days but the time for a doctor's appointment or the onset of a fever, for example, are equally valid and the resulting chart can be very informative. This book will be of interest to students of traditional astrology and for those looking to deepen their understanding of traditional techniques. Wanda Sellar teaches in a clear and easily understandable format then demonstrates the use of the technique in a wide variety of case histories which include Nelson Mandela, Christopher Reeve, and Natasha Richardson.
