Panacea – remedies and cures
Aesculapia – medical and spiritual healing

Psyche – soul-level healing

Strong placements or aspects to these asteroids strengthen natural healing potential.

The Healer’s Signature: What to Look for Overall

A natural healer usually has a combination of:

Strong 6th, 8th, or 12th house activity
Pluto for transformational ability

The more of these indicators present, the stronger the healing energy.
