Dear renjer
What I see is yes even tho there are early deg. on the Ascendant that suggest to wait, it is a positive to decide to go to the chemical part of therapy. There is an opportunity to receive good treatment by it. Moon trine Venus sextile Neptune in the doctor's diagnosis 9th. Should he have already gone for some other treatment that is a plus also (Mars with Moon). Please go by what the doctor prescribes. Am no doctor-it is wise always to consult and use the advice of the physician rather than a soothsayer even tho well intentioned.
There are a lot of other directives that should be considered additionally before making the decision. The age of your Father, if his stamina is strong etc, the quality of life he has left? The natal chart should always be analyzed and progressions.
The significators are 'Moon' (ruler of the physical Ascendant) just past the conj. with Mars (operation surgery) a major player in Cancer or tumorous maladies just past the conj. with Uranus in a fixed sign, (another form of treatment), Moon will trine Venus doctor. Sun is in sect above the horizon, with Moon in a sign of her sect Taurus. Venus doesn't do too well in Saturn's sign yes but is the ruler of Libra at the bottom of the chart, (Libra rules the 7th house naturally, doctors), is the conclusion side of advice given for the question about the treatments), POF is within in a 12th house (hidden wisdom of 3rd house advice), (hospitals, concerns of the depositor Venus (lesser benefit than the greater benefic Jupiter, doctor blesses). Mercury is advice ruler of the 3rd house where POF is in (8th of surgery), i.e.; Venus is in mutual reception with Uranus/Mars (Venus in Capricorn) ref. to the first treatment, a mutual reception is a placement that aids the planets to be able to get out of the present situation they are in by being in each others dignified sign ruler-ships, the one here by exaltation also.
Venus will sextile (opportunity) Neptune the ruler of chemical therapy deposited in the 9th house, the diagnosis given by the doctor, Venus within the 7th house of doctors. Moon is in Saturn's house, (is strong by TOL of the square-further obstacles?) to Mercury in the 8th resonance fixed sign where Uranus is.
Mercury (will go retrograde, returning) rules the colon Virgo, will be experiencing the square in the future by Moon in a fixed sign, Mercury will quincunx (aspect of illness) the part of disease in Virgo In Mercury's house. Retrograde means returning. Will come close in aspect to square Mars again, Uranus again within 4 deg. Please use the doctor's advice. Mercury and Moon setting off future squares is a detriment to your Father's health.
My prayers go to your Father and his family.
