| "Going against the grain" is literally what Dr. Mercola is doing. Not only does he shun sugar and grain products, but most conventional forms of modern health practices as well. He is a strong believer in a natural, drug-free lifestyle, where medicine and surgery are last resorts. Plenty of local, organic, fresh fruits and vegetables and other produce, combined with exercise, rest, clean air and water, and a positive attitude is the way to go according to Mercola. Mars in Sag in the 6th solar house is the key planet in the chart, giving Mercola his zeal and passion for good health. Mars in the 6th is also known for being active and pioneering in the health profession. With four planets in Cancer, Mercola is naturally concerned about food and nurturing and how this affects public and family life, and the USA in particular -which shares the same Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter placements as him. While Jupiter to the Sun makes him a visionary and entrepreneur, Uranus to the Sun makes him different, unique, unorthodox, and ingenious. Moon in Libra is the crowd pleaser and lover of beauty, harmony, and justice. Moon conjunct Neptune is a sensitive and artistic soul who sees the wonder and beauty of life. Mercury in Cancer is shy and takes things personally and is knowledgeable or skilled in domestic matters. Mercury conjunct Jupiter is honest and gives good advice. Mercury with Uranus is truthful and ingenious. Venus in Leo is proud, loving, generous, and likes to have a good time. Mars in Sagittarius is open, honest, physically strong and active, and fights for moral or ethical beliefs. Jupiter in Cancer is caring and nurturing and likes food, home, and family, and extends this on an international level. Jupiter with Uranus is unusually fortunate and far-sighted and wants to do good for all of humanity. Saturn in Scorpio is professional and cutting edge and deals skillfully with life and death situations. They make quality doctors, surgeons, researchers, investigators, and business people. Uranus in Cancer is moody and intuitive and takes the unconventional path where food, home, and security issues are involved. Neptune in Libra people can't get enough beauty, harmony, peace, or relationships in their lives. Pluto in Leo goes all out when it comes to love, creativity, or entertainment. | |
