Electional astrology

Elective surgery

Elective surgery is done on a waning Moon — blood clots better and healing is faster. Full moon and new moon carry the highest risk of complications. The Moon should not be passing the sign that governs the part being operated on.

What to pay attention to

·IMPORTANT: this recommendation is astrological. Never cancel emergency surgery for the sake of a 'lucky date'
·If the Moon is passing the sign that governs the part being operated on (for example, Aries — the head) — it is better to shift the date
·Tell your surgeon the date in advance; elective surgery requires preparation
