Astrology and health -2
Now coming to the basics of Medical Astrology,
As per Ayurveda, Human body is made up of 5 elements I.e. Akash(Ether), Agni(Fire), Jal(Water), Vayu(Air) and Prithvi(earth) tatva.
Even the seven Planets and Zodiac signs are associated with an element. Such as,
Sun, Mars & (Aries Leo, Sagittarius) has fire element.
Moon, Venus & (Cancer, Scorpio ,Pisces) has water element.
Mercury & (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) has earth element.
Saturn & (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) has wind element.
Jupiter has ether element.
Vedic Astrology, Ayurveda and Yoga are the Tripods of Healthy and balanced life. On the basis of transit, dasha and planetary positions, It is possible to find the period of disease and also the methodology to eradicate the same.
Now, to find the health issue in an individual is very easy. The ascendant is the strength of the body. The strong Ascendant lord and the Ascendant house will determine the vigor to overcome the disease. The 6th house governs the disease, while 8th house governs death.
Let us take understand with example, Suppose, you are in windy sign i.e the zodiac sign at the time of birth is Gemini, Libra or Aquarius, and Saturn is placed in the ascendant, then it has a great probability of Vaat Dosha that is Windy disease. The person will have the problem of flatulence in stomach. On the other hand if the person is born in Fiery sign i.e Leo, Aries and Sagittarius and planets like Mars, Ketu or Sun is placed in the Ascendant then the problem of boils, piles, injuries to head and pimples in an individual can be predicted. Similarly if cancer, Scorpio or Pisces is the Ascendant and Moon is placed in the Ascendant, then the chances of cough, cold and breathing problems can be predicated. Similarly the earth sign ascendant with Mercury in the Ascendant indicates indigestion and dehydration.
Hope you have understood the basics of Astrology and its relation with health.
