Abstract
This paper presents a brief overview of an important
application of astrology in field of medical science. In this
scientifically and technologically developed world when the
medical science has immensely progressed, there are a
number of unanswered queries that could not be justified.
Astrology can assist to diagnose these problems and answer
them scientifically. Moon, Mercury and Jupiter are the key
planets responsible for the soundness of the mind. When these
planets along with fifth, sixth house in the horoscope of an
individual is afflicted by any means then mental illness occurs.
Astrology plays a key role to guide and enlighten the man and
his thoughts to get the right approach and put in the best efforts
to improve and achieve the goal.
Introduction
A person's horoscope gives plenty of clues to what makes him sick.
All of the signs have their positive and negative qualities but the water
signs are more susceptible to mental illness. Water signs are
sympathetic and thoughtful of others as a rule. They can be turned
inside out and they can just as easily feel sorry for themselves.
Afflictions in water signs produce depression, anxiety, drug or alcohol
addiction, bipolar illness or schizophrenia.
Astrology is one of the distinguished branch of Science that helps a
man to know about himself and evaluates the life. It relates us to the
family, informs about the financial and health status, predict the
misfortunes, provides the right direction for the efforts and provides
insight to improve the deeds for a better future. It can answer all the
quarries of the man and inform him what is good for him and what he
needs to avoid. Astrology is one the most ancient science that gives
magnificent results but still remains a mystery due to lack of authentic
research, undue association with mythology, misinterpretation of the
data and lack of recognition as a subject worldwide [1-5].
Every aspect in the life of a person is determined at the time of his
birth. According to Indian Vedic Astrology, Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Mars,
Venus, Mercury, Saturn are the seven main celestial bodies along with
two shadow planet Rahu and Ketu (dragon head and tail) that govern
the horoscope or the life of a person. Each of these nine heavenly
bodies serve as influencing factor for the life. Each has its distinct
profile, chemistry and significance. It is very important to understand
the chemistry of each planet to give prediction. Moon, Mercury and
Jupiter are the key planets responsible for the soundness of the mind.
When these planets along with fifth, sixth house of the horoscope are
afflicted by any means then mental illness occurs. Moon governs the

mind intellect and affliction to Moon will cause mental excitement or
depression. Mercury controls the entire nervous system,
communications, active thinking processes, intelligence and any
affliction to Mercury will cause mental imbalance. Gemini is the sign
of reasoning and Cancer is the sign of emotions and severe afflictions
to these signs will also cause mental disorder [1-5].

Discussions
In Astrology, the mental status could briefly be assessed by the
Moon (the stability of mind), Mercury (nervous system) and Jupiter
(maturity / wisdom / ethical value). When all three of these planets are
afflicted in the horoscope of an individual, conditions leading to
mental illness are high. The fifth house corresponds to learning,
education, logic and wisdom where as the sixth house refers to the
mental ability and thought process. The presence of Jupiter in fifth
house in its own or friendly sign without malefic influence (especially
from eleventh house) can give the best results. The students with
Jupiter in fifth house are extraordinary intelligent and high rank
achievers. The presence of Rahu in its own sign Virgo and in its own
position i.e. sixth house of the horoscope leads to most efficient
businessman and intellectuals. Even Saturn in Libra at sixth house of
horoscope gives a high intellectual level. However, the planet placed in
first house of the horoscope (referring to head) also contributes
equally to mental ability. As a rule the seventh house adjacent to each
house has significant effect on it. So, the planet at position 1 and 7, 5
and 11, 6 and 12 should be keenly observed to access the situation
[1-7].
Based on results obtained after studying numerous natal charts of
psychological disorder cases, the findings have been systematically
summarized below that can help parents and relative to initiate
preventions and seek remedy well in time, in case their child shows
any symptom of Psychological Disorder.
1. Psychological Disorders due to malefic Moon
Mental disorders manifest when moon is afflicted. These vary from
mental aberrations to neuro-psychotic disorders. Moon suffers
afflictions when it is weakly placed in sixth, eighth and twelfth house
and under the aspect or association of malefic planets. Moon can very
easily get afflicted.
Citation: Ashish Chauhan (2014) Predicting Psychological Disorders by Astrology. J Psychother Psychol Disor 2:1000102.
• Moon afflicted by Sun makes a person quarrelsome, self
aggrandizement.
• Moon afflicted by Mars makes a person aggressive and violent.
• Moon afflicted by Saturn causes acute depression, mania,
depressive psychosis.
• Moon afflicted by Rahu leads to schizophrenia, phobia and
suicidal.
• Moon afflicted by Ketu causes suicidal tendency and irrational
behavior.
• Moon afflicted by Mercury causes depression, isolation and
suicidal.
Depression is very common problem associated with afflicted
moon. The condition can worsen if the moon is placed in unfriendly
sign in first house alone and the person is under Moon mahadasha
(ruling period). The condition of the patient changes drastically in no
moon and full moon night. Moon in combination with Jupiter in
Cancer sign makes a person highly emotional. Moon in Cancer sign
leads to a condition of over excitement and frequent mood swings as
well. Presence of moon in sixth, eighth and twelfth house is also one of
the indications in the horoscope of an individual of his sudden,
premature or untimely death [4-11].
2. Psychological Effect due to malefic Mercury
Mercury should be well placed in the horoscope for the proper
functioning of nervous system. Nervous breakdown can be easily
predicted by the combination of Mercury and Saturn depending on its
placement in the horoscope. Speech disorder is frequent if Mercury is
weak. A weak or retrograde mercury in fifth house can lead to insane,
mental problems or poor reflex action [4-11].
3. Psychological Effects due to malefic Saturn
Saturn is a planet that checks the human strength under tricky
conditions, time and again. Like a judge it classifies our deeds and pays
off the consequences when Saturn comes into rule, according to the
horoscope in mahadasha, anterdasha and mainly in varshfal (yearly
horoscope that governs for a specific year). Saturn alone or in
combination with Rahu at position first and second in horoscope
makes a person addict in some way either to drug, smoking, tobacco
or alcohol. Saturn in its own as well as unfriendly sign in position first
of the horoscope easily leads to unwise decision, inhuman, immoral or
insane behavior. Saturn in first house and mars at fifth, seventh even at
ninth position leads to insane behavior. Saturn with moon at position
twelfth house too leads to insane condition. Saturn with Sun leads to
aggressive behavior, anxiety, isolation and psychological disorders.
Saturn gives worst results in 8th house [4-9].
4. Psychological Effects due to malefic Venus
Venus is mainly associated with sexual behavior in humans’ life.
Venus gives worst results in Virgo sign and sixth house of the
horoscope. It leads to over excitement in Cancer sign. Venus affects
the sexual behavior if afflicted by Saturn, Ketu and Rahu.
• The sexual desire drastically increases when Venus is afflicted by
Sun.
• The sexual desire drastically decreases when Venus is afflicted by
Moon.

There is increase in sexual frustration when Venus is afflicted by
Mars, Ketu and Saturn. A combination or malefic influence on Venus
by Saturn, Ketu and Rahu can be easily seen in the horoscope of a
person of low moral character. This sexual frustration can even lead to
disturbed mental setup and anxiety. They are always involved in
seeking multiple sex partner, rape tendency or criminal. Presence or
influence of Sun in addition to these combinations with further
enhances the sexual desire.
A combination of Venus and Rahu makes a person slave to never
ending sex desire, especially in Virgo sign leads a man to cross all the
ethical, moral limits and lead to bisexual, homosexual behavior.
However, the influence of Sun, presence of Jupiter and Mercury in
ineffective state in addition to these combinations can deteriorate the
situation further. Effect of Rahu on Venus leads to sexual
dissatisfaction, sexual dysfunction, the person can affect his own
health and be a sexual maniac [5-11].
5. Psychological Effect due to malefic Mars
Mars has pronounced effect on mans velour, fidelity, energy and
sportsmanship. An adverse affects of Mars strengths the disorder to be
more chronic and physical. A man with Mars and Rahu in first, third,
fifth house has a criminal bend or can be a terrorist. Grave mental
bipolar disorders are to be feared if Mars, Saturn and Rahu cast
adverse aspects on the Moon, Mercury and the 5th, 6th and 8th
houses. Every normal human being is liable to some disturbing mental
malady due to the influence of Mars or Saturn during a lifetime but it
is only in the extreme case of mental derangement that the destructive
effects are visible. A combination of Mars and Saturn leads to
isolation, harsh and unsocial behavior [5-11].
6. Psychological Effect of malefic Rahu, Ketu
Rahu affects the thinking, imagination. The person can complain
phobia or interactions with evil spirits if the lord of first house is weak
or placed in unfriendly sign or in sixth, eighth or twelfth house. It
happens when Rahu is placed in first house or the lord of first house is
in combination with Rahu in certain house. Rahu and Moon
combination too gives similar results. Rahu / Ketu / Saturn / Sun in
position second of the horoscope leads to “vaani dosh” in which a
person speaks something that hurts other feeling. It can ruin the
personal and professional life very easy and leads to depression. Rahu
and Ketu at position fifth makes a person fussy, illogical, irrational
chatter. Rahu placed in 8th house creates a situation where the health
problem of the patient is either not identified or diagnosed properly
[6-11].
7. Psychological Effect of malefic Jupiter and Sun
A good aspect of Jupiter can evade mental disorders. Jupiter in
retrograde stage or under malefic influence or situated in sixth, eighth,
twelfth house can lead to several unnatural behavior, psychological /
neural disorders and phobias. Visiting religious places, temples is not
favorable in such cases when native has Jupiter in such positions in
birth chart or in varshfal, Sun in second house can enhance the ego
problem or lead to over confidence. Over excitement in Virgo, Gemini
sign due to Sun can be observed. Lack of confidence can be seen in
horoscope with Sun at position sixth and twelve [7-11].
The malefic influences of the planets have been discussed above but
the cumulative effect of the planets present in group or under variable
influence at position 1, 5 and 6 may further complicate the situation.

Several influencing factors determine the Psychological and Neural
Disorders There are various factors in the horoscope that influence the
incidents and the life of an individual. Some of the major parameters
have been discussed below [1-11].
There are several common factors prevalent in patients with
psycho-neurological disorders. Some of the factors are given below.
[1-11]
• The child born on no moon night generally face major health
issue.
• The child born on Tuesday and Saturday has been found to have
more psychological disorders.
• The ruling planet is placed in sixth, eighth and twelfth house.
• The degree of the ruling planet is near zero.
• The ruling planet is retrograde.
• The ruling planet is placed in unfriendly sign or under the malefic
influence.
• Retrograde Saturn and Mars can enhance the disorder.
• Presence of Moon or Sun or both in sixth, eight, twelfth house or
under the malefic influence.
• Jupiter is placed in sixth, eight, twelfth house or under the malefic
influence.
• Mercury in fifth, twelfth house in retrograde condition or in
unfriendly sign or under the malefic influence.
• Malefic influence of Saturn in first, fifth, sixth house of the
horoscope.
• Malefic influence of Mars in first, fifth and sixth house of the
horoscope could lead to dementedly. It can be seen by strong and
outwards bulging teeth. The teeths can have wide gap as well.
However, the malefic influence of the planets and their
combinations can have a reduced or negligible effect if:
• The ruling planet is well placed in its own sign or friendly sign in
first or seventh house.
• Jupiter, Venus can evade the malefic effects if placed in first or
seventh sign in its own or friendly sign.
In such cases, Jupiter is benefic only in certain positions (first, third,
fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh house) in its own or friendly sign (Aries,
Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius).Venus is benefic in Taurus, Libra,
Aquarius and Pisces.
Science is progressing with the research day by day [12-18]. There is
need that Astrology should be taught to every student to improve the
deeds and make conscious efforts to improve our self. It helps us to
know our self, our weakness and strengths. It informs about the weak
parts of the body to take possible care of health and be a better part of
society to make this world a better place to live.
Astrology teaches us to keep a check on our deeds. If our deeds are
not good, no worship, no gem stone and no astrologer or face reader
can help us. We should take blessing from parents, elders and teachers.
Gently treat everyone and sincerely render all our duties especially for
parents. Avoid superstitions, unwise practices, selfish thoughts or bad
intention. Do not harm any living being, avoid criticism, avoid foul
language, and avoid materialistic pleasure and approach. Be
vegetarian, improve moral values, indulge in plantation that is useful
to others and work for betterment of nation and earth. All our deeds
affect the planet in our horoscope and we get similar results. Living the
life is a duty to God so we should do the best to get the best results.
