About The Author
Tanya Galperin, MD, PhD
Tanya Galperin MD, PhD is a physician and researcher with a PhD in immunology. Her work explores the relationship between human physiology, symbolic traditions, and self-knowledge.
Her approach begins with the body’s interconnected physiological systems and explores their psychological, astrological, and cultural meanings as pathways to self-knowledge.
Between Science and Symbolism
Tanya approaches astrology as a symbolic and philosophical language, not as medical science.
Medical Zodiac is grounded in established anatomical and physiological knowledge while drawing upon natural philosophy, planetary symbolism, mythology, and the historical idea of the human being as a microcosm of nature.
A Visual Language of the Human Organism
Visual thinking has always been central to Tanya’s work. The illustrations in Medical Zodiac bring together anatomy, planetary imagery, mythological archetypes, the four elements and the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.
Each image invites both understanding and contemplation.
