Disease and Yogas Related to a Patient

The disease means disturbance of “ease”. According to charak samhita,the classic ancient indian system of medicine, the mind and body are abodes of disease.The strong area of medical astrology is predicting about timing of disease. Diagnosis and treatment come under the purview of a doctor.The fact is that an astrologer can forecast the occurrence of the disease much in advance to the native even when the native is fit and can’t expect such a thing.An astrologer can work out the planetary periods and yogas which will affect the native’s health and can also tell the outcome of the disease and for how long will it take to recover.

In the absence of birth data a prashna kundli is made for the patient and prediction given on the basis is that lagna of prashna kundli is Doctor,4th house is treatment,7th house is disease and 10th house is the patient.Following points are important to know the timing and recovery from disease.


  • When the lord of the ascendant and the lord of the sixth house are forming an Itthashal Yoga, then the disease will continue for a long period of time.

  • Disease usually manifests in the dasha of a planet adversely disposed towards the Lagna.
    When a change of sign takes place between the lord of the sixth house and the lord of the ascendant, then also the disease will continue for a long period of time.

  • When malefic planets are present in the second, seventh or twelfth house, then the patient dies.

  • When malefic planets are present in the first, seventh or eighth house, then also the patient dies.

  • When Moon has an auspicious Parashari aspect in the question related to the disease, then it is considered auspicious for the patient.

  • When Mars and Jupiter are in the ascendant at the time of questioning, then the doctor will not be changed.

  • When there is a retrograde planet in the fourth house, then the treatment would not benefit the patient.

  • When Moon forms an Itthashal Yoga with a retrograde planet, then also the treatment would not benefit the patient.

  • If lagna has malefic planet ,it means the doctor is not competent and if a retrograde planet is positioned in the lagna, then the doctor is going to be changed.

  • When the degree of Saturn and ascendant is same or Saturn and Ascendant are present on the same degree, then the medicine would not benefit the patient.

  • When the degree of the lord of the ascendant and Rahu is almost same in the question related to a disease, then it is inauspicious for the patient.

  • If 4th and 7th have malefics,then patient is going to develop complications.

  • If the 4th house is afflicted ,then the wrong medicine is given to the patient.

  • If the 7th house is afflicted then the disease is complicated and is going to take time.

  • If the tenth house is afflicted then the disease will aggravate.

  • Benefics in 6th and 8th house show speedy recovery and malefics will prolong the disease.

  • Enmity between lagna and 10th lord and 4th and 7th lord will aggravate the disease.

  • 6th lord is the lord of disease and if it has any connection with the 6th or 12th house, then the chances of recovery are less.

  • Lagna lord and eighth lord in ithshala,will mean death of the patient.

  • There are many such combinations which will point towards recovery or deterioration of a patient’s health which will depend on the prashna chart. If birth chart is available then predictions can be more accurate.
