The Course
NCCAOM-Approved (10 PDA)
Integrate Medical Astrology as an Energy Medicine Tool to Enhance Your Acupuncture Practice
This course provides a practical, clinically applicable system for integrating Medical Astrology into Acupuncture practice—without compromising the diagnostic rigor of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
No prior knowledge of astrology is required—if you’re already familiar, this course will help you organize and apply that knowledge in a clinical context.
You’ll learn how to use the natal chart as a multidimensional diagnostic tool to enhance pattern recognition, support case-taking, and identify imbalances beyond standard TCM assessment.
Through a structured, cross-system framework, this course bridges Western Astrology and Eastern Medicine, expanding diagnostic depth while remaining grounded in clinical application. Astrology is used not as a predictive tool, but as a constitutional blueprint of energetic tendencies, adding another layer of insight into patient presentation.
What you’ll be able to do
By the end of this training, you will be able to:
Identify constitutional strengths and vulnerabilities through the natal chart
*Recognize patterns of imbalance (excess, deficiency, stagnation) through astrological signatures
*Understand planetary energetics (temperature, moisture)
*Identify elemental, modal, and polar imbalances
*Differentiate environmental influences, hidden energetic patterns, and inherited vs. acquired traits
*Identify psycho-emotional, spiritual, and karmic factors that shape health
This course transforms how you see your patients—revealing deeper insight and supporting truly holistic care.
Grounded in the principle of “as above, so below,” and viewed through the lens of living fractals, you’ll begin to recognize how broader energetic patterns echo through your patients’ physiology, presentation, and healing journey—inspiring a more intuitive, nuanced, and multidimensional approach to care.
The Teacher
M. Virginia Kelly, MS, L.Ac. is a Medicine Woman: Licensed Acupuncturist, Certified Psychotherapist, Professional Astrologer, and Holistic Healer, specializing in Body–Mind–Spirit Medicine.
As the daughter of a physician and a nurse, medicine was integral to her upbringing. Yet her lifelong pursuit has been to reclaim a truly holistic model of healing — one rooted in the wisdom of Ancient, Alchemical, and Eastern traditions, where science, spirit, and consciousness merge. In today’s Western world of specialization, this unified approach has largely been fragmented, even within holistic health.
Rather than choosing between being “clinical” or “intuitive,” Virginia’s work bridges both. Influenced by quantum science, her practice integrates rigorous training with spiritual insight.
Through decades of immersion and study across Eastern Medicine, Western Psychology, and Mystical traditions, Virginia has cultivated an integrative approach grounded in both formal training and practical experience.
She is the founder of Kelly’s Holistic Healing Arts (NJ), where she has maintained a fully integrative private practice for almost two decades.
Virginia was named an Honored Listee in Marquis Who’s Who (2024) as a Holistic Healer and received a Preliminary CMA Award (2025).
