The purpose of this study was to investigate and discuss the relationship between medical astrology and health, and the credibility, validity and/or application of genethliacal medical astrology (astrology based on the time of a person's birth and applied to health problems) for nursing and medical assessment. In order to test the relationship between medical astrology and health, 10 subjects' natal horoscopic health profiles and actual medical histories were compared. The data obtained were analyzed by correlating the astrological significators located in zodiacal signs of the subjects' natal horoscopes and the medical history of the corresponding anatomical regions. The rate of match/mismatch between sign-regions of the "melothesic man"(a diagram which correlates the zodiac and human anatomy) and medical history was respectively 51.4%/48.6%. This indicates a higher than random but weak correlation between medical astrology and actual medical history. To sum up, the results of this study cannot show clearly whether or not there is a correlation between medical astrology and health. However, even while falling short of infallibility, the results of the correlation between sign-regions of the "melothesic man"(zodiacal factors) and medical history can still give us some valuable insights. The findings of this study suggest that while medical astrology might be useful for guiding nursing and medical assessment, it cannot be considered a sufficient guide by itself.
