In the medical practices of late Middle Ages, doctors actually based prescriptions on reference lists of such plant-astrological sign correspondences. Through a very complicated system, they not only used those plant medicines that related to certain affected parts of the body, but also those who were ruled by favorable signs in the sick persons horoscope.
We who have seen men walk on the moon are not likely to recover such faith in the stars that we would intrust are health to them, yet we can find fascination and significance in astrology, even in this skeptical, scientific age.
