High levels of a digestive hormone called secretin
may play an important role in the management of certain chronic liver diseases,
according to new research published in the journal Hepatology. These findings could result in new ways to treat
cholestatic liver diseases, a condition that impairs the movement of bile, the
fluid produced by the liver to digest fats. May 17 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160517151719.htm
The research on
the new treatment for liver diseases was carried out by a team of scientists at
the Texas A&M Health Science Center at Bryan,Tx. Notice that the last solar
eclipse of March 8 fell in the mundane 6th house connected with
health issues. It was a part of a T-square with Jupiter and Saturn and conjunct
stars of Gula, the ancient goddess of healing.
The central
organ of assimilation in the human body is the liver, over which Jupiter rules
in astrology. For Jupiter in Virgo, Eileen Nauman in her book Medical Astrology
writes:
Jupiter in Virgo may create liver
problems related to enzyme functions, an enlarged liver, abscess of the liver,
jaundice, fatty degeneration of the liver and cholesterol deposits.
Progressing
the eclipse chart to May 17, the date of the news, aligns the T-square with the
progressed meridian triggering the news event related to liver disease and its
treatment.
But there is
a deeper message for wholistic healing that is contained in the eclipse chart
which cannot be understood if we approach the problem through conventional
allopathic approach.
At the level
of the body, Jupiter (as liver) deals with foodstuffs; at the level of the
feelings and mind, Jupiter (as Soul) deals with the various products of
social-collective living which constitutes "culture." Culture is like
food in the digestive organs of the collective mentality and psyche of a people
— and it is the Jupiter function's task, within a particular personality, to do
the assimilating.
An improperly
functioning Jupiter can at the physical
level lead to obesity. The body becomes fat. At the mental level, the mind fills up with
unused data and unrelated cultural information. Improper assimilation causes,
at one level the fat body, at another the scholar loaded with cultural
materials yet unable to put them to any creative individual use.
Jupiter is
currently in Virgo ( health/ need for development of analytical capacity and
discrimination) square Saturn in Sagittarius
(belief systems/ worldview). So, let us say, if we are having a health issue (e.g. a liver
problem) it may be because our fears (Saturn) have led to prejudice stemming
from a narrow and rigid worldview (Sagittarius). When used consciously, Saturn
asks us to face those fears and encourages us to keep our minds open with
curiosity and questions, challenging old ideas to adapt to current realities.
This is not about abandoning core values but is, rather, about adjusting them
to adapt to contemporary issues. It’s helpful to challenge our own beliefs and
philosophies instead of clinging to concepts that no longer serve our needs.
This then is right approach to the medical issues
highlighted by the eclipse.
