Discover Health Through Medical Astrology: Hormones, Mental Health & Menopause with Kira Sutherland

·1 hr·5 clips

What if your birth chart could unlock the secrets to a healthier, more balanced life?

Catherine Plano hosts Kira Sutherland, a naturopath and astrologer based in Sydney, Australia, to explore medical astrology. Sutherland shares her background, growing up in San Francisco with scientific parents and later studying naturopathy and astrology simultaneously. She describes medical astrology as a tool to understand health through natal charts, not for diagnosis or prediction. Sutherland outlines key astrological houses: the first house for physical constitution, the sixth for illness and self-care, the eighth for genetics, and the twelfth for chronic conditions. She emphasizes a holistic triad of mind, body, and spirit, using charts to identify stress points and recommend treatments. The conversation covers topics like the north and south nodes, with the north node in Aries linked to self-care and neurodivergence acceptance. Sutherland discusses transits, progressions, and lunar phase returns for timing health issues. She addresses menopause, noting Chiron return around age 50 as a significant transition, and highlights the lack of research on female health. Sutherland explains how she uses elemental balance to suggest foods and herbs, and she offers a free downloadable medical astrology chart on her website. The episode concludes with Sutherland's tips, including balancing elements and choosing exercise based on astrological signs.
