    The greatest stumbling block an astrologer could face, in analyzing a horoscope, is when he is asked about health issues being faced by a Jātaka (querist). The reason could be either difficulty in having progeny or when treatment in that regard, under medical advice, is not bearing expected results. It is also possible that the Jātaka has some other disease/health problem which is not responding to treatment or is defying diagnosis. There is no doubt that in Vedic astrology there are umpteen numbers of planetary combinations indicating Jātaka being afflicted by various diseases. However, in practice, either the names of diseases being along the lines of Ayurvedic nomenclature are difficult to understand in the present era, or the astrologer may find the yogas not bearing the expected results. Unfortunately there are very few texts on the medical side of astrology, though Dr. K.S. Charaka, Dr. Krishnakumar, G.S. Kapoor, and many other luminaries of astrology world have indeed written good books on Medical astrology from a Vedic astrology perspective.

    Systemic Concepts
    Recall that systems theory holds
    that many problems are a product
    of the relationships that surround
    them.
    The family is a system with
    characteristics of its own.
    The focus of investigation is on
    the interaction within and among
    systems and individuals.
    Copyright Allyn & Bacon 2003

    Cybernetics
    Is concerned with the study of
    feedback mechanisms in
    systems.
    Two types of feedback loops:
    Negative, signals the system to
    restore the status quo
    Positive, signals the need to
    modify the system.
    Both types result in homeostasis.

    Copyright Allyn & Bacon 2003

    Systemic Concepts cont.


    Circular causality
    We mutually influence each other
    via

    Patterns of Interaction
    Family members characteristic
    ways of behaving.

    Centrality of Communication
    Patterns of interaction expressed
    are both verbal and nonverbal.
    One cannot not communicate.
    Copyright Allyn & Bacon 2003

    Systemic Concepts cont.


    Rules
    Define the family
    May be overt or
    covert

    Boundaries
    Regulate the flow of
    information in and
    out of the system

    Triangles
    A three-person
    system
    Theorists disagree
    about their stability

    Change
    1st Order change is
    superficial.
    2nd Order change
    alters the system.

    Family Life Cycle


    Adopted my many family therapists.
    Includes predictable life stages and emotional
    issues beyond those described by individual
    models of development.
    Illustrates inherent family complexity.
    Acknowledges the impact of multiple
    generations on development.
