Medical Astrology – Diseases and their periods of onset

“1. Introduction

The subject of health in medical astrology is a separate and highly complex world with its own specific laws and rules. Understanding how different planets influence our health requires a special approach and knowledge. In this article we will consider the basic principles of medical astrology, the peculiarities of analyzing a horoscope with a focus on health, as well as a detailed analysis of a case study of a man whose health has changed dramatically over the course of his life.

2. Horoscope and health

А. Principles of Medical Astrology
Medical astrology differs from the traditional approach to horoscopes because here the planets and their placements play a different role. The principle of presumption of innocence of planets means that if a planet is not severely afflicted, it will promote normal health. However, many nuances, such as planets in conjunction or aspects, can change this picture significantly.

Б. Features of analyzing a horoscope from a health perspective
When analyzing a horoscope with a focus on health, one must take into account:
– The presence of favorable and unfavorable planets in different houses.
– Aspects of planets and their influence on the main houses of the horoscope (especially the first house, which is responsible for the general state of health).
– The position of the ruling planets in the houses of illness (6th, 8th, 12th houses).

3. An example of analyzing a man’s horoscope

А. General information about the horoscope
We are looking at the horoscope of a man who was healthy until middle age, but later experienced serious brain disease. This situation illustrates well the basic principles of medical astrology and shows how different planetary influences can coexist in the same horoscope.

Б. The position of the planets in the mounts and their influences
1. Kendras and their role
The first thing we look at is the kendras or energy centers of the horoscope (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th houses). In this example, the kendras are almost empty, indicating a lack of energy in the person. The only planet in the kendras is the Sun in the 10th house, which is malefic in terms of health.

2- Aspects of planets to the first house
Aspect of waning Saturn to the first house is another important factor that adversely affects the health of a person. Saturn is also the master of the eighth house, which increases its unfavorable effects.

3- Special role of Saturn and other afflicted planets
Considerable attention is also paid to the affliction of the host of the first house, which is located in the 11th house together with Mars and Saturn. This strong negative influence is aggravated by the fact that Mars and Saturn are the rulers of the houses of disease (6th and 8th houses).

4. Detailed analysis of planetary influences on health

А. Mercury and its position
Mercury, responsible for mental abilities and mental health, is afflicted by Saturn and Mars, which in this horoscope are the rulers of the houses of disease. This creates a strong unfavorable effect on the nervous system.

Б. Significance of Mars in the horoscope
Mars, being the lord of the 6th house, also has a strong influence on health. In the horoscope of the man in question, Mars is associated with diseases of the brain and nervous system, which is emphasized by its position and aspects.

В. Influence of Lagna and the masters of 6th and 8th houses
The placement of Lagna in the 11th house together with Mars and Saturn indicates significant health problems. Venus in the same house does not improve the situation either, as it is the mistress of the 12th house, which may indicate disability or prolonged hospitalization.

5. Astrological analysis of periods

А. Influence of dasha and antardash
In considering the life periods (dasha and antardash), the greatest health problems appeared during the Venus and Jupiter periods. It was these periods that activated the disease predispositions inherent in the horoscope.

Б. The role of Jupiter and Venus
Jupiter, despite its reputation as a favorable planet, can be ominous in the context of health if it is afflicted. In this horoscope, Jupiter is retrograde and aspects the first house, which activates diseases. Also, the period of Venus, mistress of the 12th house and an indicator of neurological health, has played a role in the deterioration of the person’s condition.

В. Analysis of current and future periods
The current and future periodic influences of Jupiter, Sun, Moon and Mars also indicate the continuation of health problems. Predictions for the next three years do not leave much hope for improved health, especially with future Saturn periods.”

“6. A disease-specific perspective

А. Nervous system and brain diseases

In the case of a man’s horoscope parsing, we see that his nervous system and brain disease was caused by stress and specific planetary influences. Mars, being the master of the 6th house of disease, has a significant influence on the central nervous system, especially when it is afflicted by other planets. Mars in this horoscope was conjunct Venus and under the influence of waning Saturn, indicating a strong affliction and predisposition to diseases of the brain and nervous system.

Б. Mental and psychosomatic health

Mercury and Moon play key roles in assessing mental and psychosomatic health. In this case, Mercury is located in the nakshatra of Ashwini, ruled by Ketu, which is traditionally associated with lesions of the nervous system. Additional afflictions of Mercury by Saturn and Mars increase the predisposition to mental illness. The Moon, though exalted, is in the 12th house, indicating a kind of closed-mindedness and potential mental problems.

В. Chronic diseases and predispositions

The horoscope suggests that a person should be particularly alert to probable chronic illnesses. The positions of planets in the 6th and 12th houses, as well as the dusthan hosts, indicate various long-term health problems. For example, Venus, as the 12th house host, can indicate disability and long-term nervous disorders. To understand the full spectrum of chronic diseases, the influences on the 6th and 12th houses of the horoscope should be analyzed.

7. Conclusion

Medical astrology is a deep and multi-layered study of a person’s horoscope, especially when it comes to health. In the example of parsing a man’s horoscope, we saw how different planetary positions and aspects can indicate a propensity for serious diseases of the nervous system and brain. Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Mercury played key roles in the formation of chronic health problems.

Working with medical astrology requires special care and understanding of many nuances, as each planet and its position can have a strong influence on a person’s health. Analyzing different periods also helps to identify critical moments and foresee possible health deteriorations.

Knowing one’s astrological predisposition can help people pay more attention to prevention and timely treatment of specific diseases by studying the influence of rising signs and positions of planets in their horoscopes.”
