METHOD
Most all were interested in proper diet/nutrition, how (taking full advantage of the opportunity of their immediate environment) to eat/live at a higher level of health, liveliness and energy. Having a broad knowledge of food and its general chemistry within the human body, I offered my services. I announced their participation as an opportunity to help them selves and help the therapist.
MATERIALS
A questionnaire was given to each participate, as follows:
The QUESTIONNAIRE
In preparation to our NUTRITIONAL PRESENTATION, please take a moment to answer the following questions.
Why the concern about your health?
What area physically has you concerned?
What is it you wish to know, specifically?
Answer if appropriate:
When does the situation, the craving, the reaction manifest? After dinner? Under stress? Explain.
Is it long-standing or reoccurring?
Is it proceeded by a thought or feeling? Please specify.
Any other questions or statements?
PROCEDURE
The participants had one week to go over the questionnaire. One of the first questions was birth date. The participants were unaware that I was also using their horoscope to scope-out eating habits - strong and weak points (known as Medical Astrology my reference was The American Book of Nutrition and Medical Astrology by Eileen Nauman, 1982). After receiving their responses, another week passed while I prepared their individualized reports. We then sat down as a group and went over each report, with a Q&A period after each. Their willingness will be forever appreciated and gave us the following data.

Of the 5 with hard aspects to Jupiter, 4 of these, based upon their symptons needed B-15. B-15 (Pangamic acid) is useful for those w/ asthma and helps red blood cells carry oxygen move effectively through the body (hypoxia). It also cuts cholesterol, stimulates the endocrine system, soothes the nervous system, alleviates the early stages of cirrhosis/hepatitis and helps many to lose the craving for liquor.
Lastly, the participants were consistently found to have hard aspects of the Moon (10), Mercury (10), & Mars (16). Nervousness, anxiety, fear of tomorrow, paranoia. Difficulty in establishing/implementing healthy forms of motivation/discipline. Based on vit/mineral deficiencies and their subsequent physio/neuro/emotional affects, the primary motivating force for the majority of individuals participating in this survey was the need to feel safe. Throughout any given day, nearly all words & actions were spent checking & rechecking the "sure-ity" of the people & situations in their immediate environment.
All in all, a powerful experience. And while individuals with these aspects don't necessarily become alcoholics, we found alcoholics do have some combination of the aforementioned aspects.

METHOD
While rec' a massage, one group (5 males 1 female) would hear music, another group (4 males 2 females) would not hear music. Overall age range was 29 to 51 years.
At the conclusion of said massage, I requested their advice, "In order to improve our business we're asking a few of our clients to fillout a short questionnaire". The test contained some personal questions, some optional, and direct questions re: the before and after affects of the massage. The were no questions re: music or lack thereof.
MATERIALS
Recorded on 1 hour cassette, the music was synthesized and acoustic piano; no rhythm, composed/performed by author. Based on personal research; incorporating Jungian archetypes; current (1990) position of Jupiter in Cancer.
PROCEDURE
Each client was to undergo a 1(one) hour massage on standard height massage-table. From back to feet; then feet to chest and face. There were two massage rooms, each with a speaker connected to the stereo cassette player in the main lobby. By adjusting the balance knob I controlled the volume (on/off) in the room where the project was taking place. I arbitrarily chose whether a client was to hear music or otherwise.
RESULTS: Those that heard music answered more questions.
WITH MUSIC W/OUT MUSIC Name (opt) 6 3 1Address 6 4 Phone (opt) 4 1 2Birth date 6 5 3Sex male 5 3 female 1 2 4Income 6 2 5Married 2 4 Single 4 2 Child 1 2 6Rent 2 3 Own 4 2 Out of 6 possible questions 100% 75% Including the 2 optional questions 96% 65%
DISCUSSION/Personal Comments: My hope was that MUSIC clients would be more open. Not receptive (Moon) or sharing (Venus) but relaxed, open, and trusting. Interesting that Jupiter denotes openness, trust, faith, philosophy, opportunity, luck. And all that heard music answered "income" question. Lastly, the 'range' of relaxation for both groups was the same: 5-8.67 w/ music, 4.8-8.67 w/out.

Also, classic listing of meridians follows/gives uninterrupted circle of Zodiac. When 7 planets inserted in classic designation/formation a broader perspective is achieved. E.g., Jupiter/Pisces is as always assigned to liver; the large int. usually w/ Pluto/Scorpio is there in Taurus but that works by reflection. Then there's stomach w/ Mercury/Gemini thus: a nervous stomach. But most interesting is the assignment of the spleen/pancreas w/ the Moon - the organ of sugar processing and manufacture of insulin w/ the planet of mother and nurturance; huh, interesting. Is that why we give kids candy, to feed their craving, why people drink?
