TENSION OUT OF BALANCE LEADS TO DISEASE

Tension out of balance Leads to Disease and Astrology Sees it Ahead of Time!

(by Noel Tyl)

Tension keeps life going.

Think of the tension among the muscles that keep our small one-pound heart beating about 110,000 times a day, pumping about 2,000 gallons of blood throughout the body’s circulatory system every twenty-four hours! And, normally, we don’t have to give it a second thought!  The tension is intrinsically fulfilled in function.

Think of the skeletal and muscular tension that keeps human beings erect and active!  Think of the developmental tension at the roots of plants, pushing against rocks to lift them up into bloom toward the sun!

These tensions are most efficient.  They fulfill their purpose.

There are all kinds of tension: there are tensions between the young and his or her parents.  This is how we establish who we are, our character, our individuality. Early on, behavior patterns -a mix of aggressive personal statement and careful defenses- become routined; they have to be there, and how we assimilate them establishes who we are. And these complexes extend far into adult life, undermining oh-so-often the interactive harmony in relationships, personally, on the job, in relation to future life.

Sexuality itself is all about tension -its build up and release- reflecting hormone surges and existential necessity.  

We are driven to put ourselves forward in so many ways, to define who we are. Tension makes things happen. -But excessive tensions, tensions out of balance, or tensions not put to work efficiently accumulate a deficit for the body, its organs and systems.

The problems we face systemically (the body’s systems) and somatically (the body’s organs and structure) are directly related to our management of developmental tension in our life progress. And all of that within our individual life process is overlaid upon the genetic pool we inherit from our parents and how they eat, behave, relate, live and die. -We can see constantly in our lives the echoes of diseases within families and, as well, the extension of relational problems in our marriages, reflecting the model in our home, those problems with which we grew up!

In other words, it’s not a question of should there be tension or not, or should we avoid it at all costs -as our society constantly tells us to «relax!»- but rather how much tension is there and how do we manage the tension that we must use!

We cannot be without the tension with our parents; so how soon in our development do we understand the proper perspective of the tension we have taken on, recognizing it as dramatically dysfunctional or mostly supportive. Understanding it. [That’s what psychotherapy is all about.] When can we see how we repeat the parentally modeled mistakes in our own relationships?  When can we find the proper work outlet for our interests, needs, and behaviors, and feel significant? -These are key questions, and when the answer is difficult or just not forthcoming, we can expect our health to be undermined as well.

Astrology can see the Drama

Astrology is a miracle of discovery: the planetary patterns at our moment and location of birth fascinatingly reflect the patterns of life development throughout our time on earth. The symbology and measurements of astrology show complex interactions among our needs and the behaviors to fulfill them, our interaction with our parents in the early formative times in the home, our relationship requirements, our optimum professional profile, working toward fulfillment, and so much more.

The symbols of Astrology relate to different parts of the body and define interactive systems. When there is tension shown in relation to specific symbols, along symbolic guidelines, we know that developmental tension crucial to one’s growth is highly focused in this or that area of life, but ALSO within a specific part of the body. Tension not assimilated well, frustrated beyond the norm, perpetually aggravated, will suggest a break down systemically and somatically along the guidelines of the particular astrological imprint. -When a life of accumulated developmental deficit (unanswered unmanaged tension) teams up with the aging process, health breakdown is highly imminent.

Michael Jackson [August 29, 1958 at 11:53 PM CDT in Gary Indiana USA] has been under enormous stress for several years now, with his complex financial deals with Sony Corporation, a fading career, with the child molestation charges, and more.  Astrology saw these challenges coming for Michael all too clearly, several years ahead of time.

But the stress was inexorable, and now we hear that Michael –this extraordinarily fit dancer-machine, if you will -is suffering terribly from a bad back. -In astrology, Venus and Libra rule the back area, chiefly in the lumbar region at the beltline, where most back ailments seem to occur. In his horoscope, the Venus and Libra signatures are highly, highly stressed; this is a weak spot into which Jackson’s health will break down, and it has.  There is more, but suffice it to say, this great singing-dancing performer will never be the same again.

Brooke Shields [May 31, 1965 at 1:45 PM EDT in Manhattan NY] has just been through enormous upheaval with memories of her mother’s enslavement to a child-model profession she directed and more, and enormous difficulty in bearing a child, with repeated artificial insemination failures, terrible depression, and fears for suicide. -In astrology, the Moon and its Node figure prominently to portray the mother, and in Brooke’s horoscope, this is where she clearly takes on so much tension, to the point of out-and-out power struggle with her mother from as early on as 6 years old!  Mercury and the signs Virgo, Gemini and the third House, and Saturn are all the basic astrological components of Depression; the 5th House and the 8th for sexuality and fertility, AND all of these are highly stressed in her horoscope. Finally, the suicide anxieties of the past two years are remarkably clear through what astrologers call disorientation of angular focus, for Brooke -involving Pluto.

Nelson Mandela [July 18, 1918 at 2:54 PM EET in Umtata SAFR] has a highly focused revolutionary focus in his horoscope, but the probability that it will be thwarted in his life is also indicated strongly. While the leadership potential eventually prevailed over the confinement force, the excessive tension working back into the body, threatening to hurt it severely is very real. The potential problem areas for Mandela -where his body can so easily break down- include his eyes, prostate gland and colon, and liver. It is well known that this visionary leader suffered much with his eyes during his quarter-century of confinement [stress on the twelfth House Moon]. And with his great family problems, more physical debilitation is to come.

Pope Benedict XVI [April 16, 1927 at 4:15 AM CET in Marktl GER] has an astrology profile that alerts us to a possible stroke recurrence (earlier one in 1991) early in 2007, focused in March-April. We have heard reports that the former Cardinal Ratzinger did not want to be Pope; his own brother expresses considerable worry that the Pope can not take the pressure, the developmental tension.

Few astrologers are also medical doctors -myself included- but there is simply no doubt through our centuries of research and modern updating that portrayal of systemic and somatic weak points in the developing organism can be suggested reliably. In this way, astrology is a valuable companion guide to professional medical diagnosis and, in its capacity to see potentials threatening ahead of time, astrology can alert the medical establishment to deeper study. Prevention becomes cure. Astrology helps to save lives.
