I am not an astrologer, but I believe that there are several methods as to how to employ astrology for determining the best time for surgery, from the very basics to the very detailed and individually based. But it is my understanding that overall, one tries to avoid several days before and after the full Moon, as it is said that it is harder for wounds to heal then, due to bleeding. Waning moon is best, but a waxing moon close to new is OK, too. Also, I have heard that you want to avoid the time when the Moon is in the same astrological sign as where you (or your dog) is having surgery. So, you want to avoid Virgo (which includes liver). So, if there is a date that is several signs away from Virgo, and is more toward the new Moon rather than the full Moon (on the waning side is best), then you might want to consider those dates, if they fit in with the urgency of the situation and the recommendation and availability of your surgeon. In January, the full Moon is on the 23rd. Jan 27, the Moon’s astrological sign is Virgo. On the 28th, it’s in Libra. Jan 18-19 would be better if there is availability, since those are farther away from the full Moon, and a few signs away from Virgo (Taurus and Gemini), even though a waxing moon. Or, early February looks good — but check with your vet, as delaying things that long may not be good for Chloe, depending on her ailment. Best wishes for her health and happiness!
