Health and planets
by Nishantha PERERA
Each sign of the zodiac represents a certain part of the human body
and the diseases peculiar to it and each planet also indicates certain
types of diseases. The planetary positions at birth clearly indicate the
nature of the diseases one would suffer from when and how they would
affect us and how best at alleviating them. The 12 signs are 1. Aries -
Head, 2. Gemini - Chest, Arms, Throat, 3. Cancer - Heart, 4. Leo -

Jupiter - blood, phlegm, 6. Venus - reproductive organs, 7. Saturn -
joints, bones.
The sixth house indicates the disease. The 11th house also indicates
the nature of ailment. The planet in 6th or 11th the combinations ETC
and when no planet is in 6th or 11th, the aspect, received on such sign
decides the nature of illness.
If the 6th Bhava Jalarasi and when moon is also there, water portion
of the body will be affected.
When the 6th Bahawa is a fiery sign and when fiery planet also
occupies it, danger through fire or boils are predictable.
If the 6th is an any sign planet also occupies, the wind portion of
the body will be affected.
Like pain in joints or excess wind in stomach. Mars indicates
operation. Sun in the 06th invariably indicates hot disease or eye
troubles or headache, Mercury Indicates nervousness, sleepless nights,
paralysis. Venus gives uterus or kidney trouble, diabetes, hernia etc.
Saturn indicates pain in joints and when other factors like 08th house
or 03rd house are also bad, fracture in bone etc, may be the result.
This planet has control over bile. Hence, jaundice or typhoid fever are
also denoted.
Rahu indicates poisonous bites, mental trouble. Ketu indicates mental
sickness, giddiness etc. Jupiter gives trouble in chest region like
asthma or blood sugar or blood poison, blood pressure.
Each planet is given control over some Humour (Dosha) causing disease
and the type and seat of disease depends upon the nature of the planet
and the particular sign occupied by it and the period of suffering is
denoted by the Dasas and Bhuktis of such a planet as shown below.
Precautions in predictions
The house of disease is the 06th from the ascendant.
The planets therein, the lord of the 06th, the aspects on the 06th
and the navamsa (Nawan Sakaya), the lord of the 06th occupies, should
all be considered for predicting diseases.
The planets in the 06th house affect the particular part of the body
governed by the sign, and the diseases will be those that are indicated
by its rulers due attention may be paid to the ascendant, and the
relationship between its lords and that of the 06th.
The general build-up and strength of the physical constitution must
be ascertained with reference to the position of the Sun and the mental
peculiarities with reference to the moon. The sun in the 06th aspected
by saturn is sure to bring about loss of vitality by means of unnatural
methods like masturbation and sodomy.
Malefics in the 06th with no beneficial aspects cause continuous
illness (MR.X has mercury in the 6th with saturn and mars powerfully
aspected by Rahu - Suffered from continuous arthritis for more than 25
years).
The 8th House governs illness of a chronic type, sometimes incurable
and necessitating surgery. Similary the 12th house also begets diseases
since sometimes heavy expenditure is also involved in the treatment.
So all these have to be looked into.
This much is I think enough at this stage to understand the
situation. Only an expert in medical astrology will be able to deal the
subject properly.
