Medical Astrology- Arishta Yoga

Misfortunes and miseries have more importance than fortunes, happiness and the sources through which the happiness is achieved. In an army, the best General is the one who takes all the necessary precautions be it a sound retreat and then begins to fight the battle. If in the battle, success is achieved then he will have no difficulty after the same and everything goes well. But if misfortunes overtake him, he must make provisions to overtake the misfortunes for the safety of the army and leave no chance of utter annihilation. Misfortunes and arishtas are of wonderful variety and there is general resemblance i.e. the feeling of pain.

Misfortunes affect the person on three major areas namely,  physical, mental and the third area which is not visible to the naked eye is the soul. The most of the Arishta yogas have reference to the 6th house.

Kushtaroga Yogas

The deadly disease of Kushta (leprosy) is caused by the insanitary and unclean habits of living. In spite of all medical pretensions, leprosy can never really be checked.

This yoga is formed when the lord of lagna, Mars and Mercury are found in the 4th house and 12th house. Before declaring this combination, it is important to judge the strength of the Ascendant lord and the general strength of the horoscope.

Also when Jupiter is placed in the 6th house along with Saturn and the Moon, it leads to Kushtaroga (Leprosy). It is important to judge the strength of the Ascendant lord and general strength of the horoscope.

When Saturn, Ascendant lord and Mercury are together and the Rahu and the Sun are in the 6th house, then the native suffers from severe form of Leprosy. It is believed that mere presence of Jupiter with Moon in the 6th house can give rise to Leprosy between the age of 19 and 22.

But still, to implement this rule as an astrologer to the native’s chart, it needs practical experience and overall strength of the planets .

Galakarna Yoga

This yoga is formed when the 3rd house is occupied by the Mandi and Rahu or by Mars in the shashtiamsa.

This yoga results with ear troubles for the native. According to some astrological practitioners,  the yoga is also caused by the mere presence of malefics in the 3rd house. Rahu’s disposition in the 3rd house in the cruel shashtiamsa is a sure indication of some trouble in the ear.

Karascheda Yoga

When highly afflicted Jupiter and Saturn are placed in the 3rd houseand the 9th house respectively, forming samsaptak yoga and occupying cruel shashtiamsas in the native’s chart, then the native’s hands will be cut off by the way of punishment.

This yoga has been extracted from the ancient works and is inconceivable in this age of advancement and civilization but still if such combinations are found in the native’s chart, they can be tactfully informed to the native with valuable cautions.
