Dear Ernst and Community,
Are there astrological correlates for the Etheric and Astral bodies of a client? Has anyone used these in client consultation and/or homeopathy?
My question comes from a very inspired Paul Chek interview (where I first heard you, Ernst!) with Rudi Verspoor, a 35-year+ homepathic healer and scholar. Rudi looks at "causes", and goes through the multiple "bodies", starting with physical of course, then moving to Etheric, Astral, and beyond. He finds working through these levels is necessary for complete, non-remission healing.
It seems these terms Etheric and Astral are from Rudolph Steiner, and correspond to Etheric>Prana and Astral>Emotional. So this sounds like the Panchakosha or the 5 Sheaths.
My prior understanding is D1 is primary for Physical body, and D20 would be primary for overall Karmic body, and D30 shows all afflictions generally.
Has anyone looked at Etheric and Astral bodies, can they be found in the Vargas or other methods? Any clues for further research? Or part of a class I may have missed?
** Also interesting on Rudi: He found the original homeopathic texts from the 1700s by a German doctor. He is reviving the key distinction between "Homeostatis" and "Palingenesis" in healing. This is so exciting for me to connect with the two positive Element Cycles, Life-Promoting and Generative. One is for Balance of systems (Homeostatis) and the other for Generation of system (Palingenesis). It has been hard to distinguish the real functional different between these two -- I think Rudi is on to something and will explore further.
Many thanks to Earnst and All :pray:

Not sure about Etheric vs Astral and the ability to discern the difference astrologically, but the elements are associated with different vargas.
D60 is ether, than the rest are divided up between the remaining elements. Don't remember exactly where this is taught but it must be in the sections on Vargas.
I have not heard the association of D20 and karmic body, could you describe how and why the D20 is depicting karmic body?
I think I heard about the D20 and overall karma in one of the Vargas In Depth videos. When I come back around to studying Vargas more, I will confirm.
Etheric turns out to be a western term for prana / chi. I think the context I heard it in was less explicitly related to the elements -- though I appreciate the mention of D60 for looking more deeply at the elements themselves.
Further reading into this particular corner of homepathy revealed what is called Sequential Therapy. This traces the client history of illness/trauma/disturbance of any kind back in time. Therapies based on the homeopathic law of similars are then given to match the succession of events. The therapies 'reveal' the dis-ease in sequence, allowing it to manifest and purge. This seemed interesting to test with something like the Bach Flower Remedies, and perhaps matching client history to astrological info.
