Astrology and Health

Astrobix |

A lot has been written in astrology about medical sciences. Some principles have also been mentioned in Puranas. According to Vishnu Ved Purana, a person should be facing East or North while eating his food. Doing this helps you to digest your food properly.

According to astrology, every planet rules one or other part of your body. These planets provide auspicious or inauspicious results and therefore also affect our health. If a weak or malefic planet is associated with the ascendant, lord of ascendant, sixth house or eighth house, the native’s health is affected on the basis of the planet.

Each planet affects some part of your body or can be associated with some disease. For example, Sun may cause problems related to heart, stomach, right eye, cuts, burns, blood circulation etc. In the same way, Moon may cause problems related to fluids in the body, left eye, chest, mental problems, menstruation cycle for women etc. Mars can cause problems related to head, animal bites, accidents, burns, cuts, surgeries, operations, high blood pressure, pregnancy etc.

In the same way, Mercury can be associated with throat, nose, ears, lungs, voice and nightmares. Jupiter can be associated with fat in the body, diabetes, ears etc. Venus can cause problems related to burning sensation during urination, sexual diseases, eyes, intestines, appendix, diabetes, stones in bladder etc. Saturn may cause problems related to feet, nerves in the feet, paralysis, tiredness, depression etc. Rahu may be associated with bones, poisoning, snake bite, chronic diseases, fear or phobia etc. Ketu can be associated with stammering, intestines etc.

From the above mentioned planets, a planet receives health problems during the Dasha of a planet which is associated with the sixth house or the lord of the sixth house. It is considered to be inauspicious if the lord of the sixth house is in association with the ascendant, lord of ascendant or lord of eighth house. Chances of a person facing health problems increase when the lord of the sixth house is in the eleventh house. In the same way, chances of long term health problems also increase when the lord of the sixth house is in the eighth house.
