In Mundane Astrology, health, epidemics, and public safety are analyzed through planetary positions, house activations, and aspects.
- 6th House: public health, labor forces, hospitals, local health administration
- 8th House: epidemics, mortality, shared health crises
- 12th House: hidden diseases, secret threats, quarantine measures
- Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Mars, and Pluto: key planets influencing public health and epidemics
By tracking transits, progressions, and eclipses, astrologers can forecast disease outbreaks, healthcare reforms, and societal safety responses.
🔹 Key Planetary Influences
