f n the diagnosis of diseases we are apt to pay attention to
ca
r the sixth and eighth houses in a chart. We do take other
du
factors also into consideration. But if we pay attention to

E
the constellation in which these planets and luminaries are

al
located, we rvill be able to pay head to the part of the body

on
ti
affected. Also, the constellations are classified into the

di
three characteristics called Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. The

ra
rT
features indicated by these can be understood from a close

study of the chapter in the Cita called "Ouna traya
fo
re
Vibhaga". Only it should be understood that these do not

signify qualities but substances as explained in 'SA"l\KflyA

TATTVA KALJIIILJDI"Thus refers to the gross physi-

'R4jas'
cal body; to the subtle body called Sukshma sharira;
'Sattava'
and to the causal (karana) body. When the lord
asked Arjuna to be 'nistraigunya', he meant that we should
transform these three into the 'Maha karana sharira'. We
use the letters S, R and T after each constellation and show
the part of the body governed by each.

On this basis a Proper diagnosis can be made. Similarly
the twelve adityas are located around eleven constellations.
We give the names of the twelve suns and in brackets the
constellation that is to be considered for the propitiatory
(shanti) rites. These are Mitra (anuradha), Varuna
(shatabhisha), Yama (Bharani), Bhaga (Purva Phalguni),
Aryama (Uttara Phalguni). Savita (Hasta), Tvashta (Chitra),
Indra (Jyeshtha), Vishnu (Shravana), Pushya (Revathi), Aditi
(Punarvasu) and Surya, (Anuradha and Shravana) are the
best constellations. Bharani is the worst.

tio
Mula by Nirriti, Purvabhadrapada by Aja Ekapat,
ca
Uttarabhadrapada by Ahirbudhnya, Krittika by Dahana, and

Some of the usual ailments afflicting human beings are
astrologically interesting. Most of these elude our grasp
because some of these afflictions are more mental. For
n
instance, take hypocrisy. How should we detect a hypocrite
from the horoscope? In our experience, the volatile and tio
ca
flexible planet Mercury has a good deal to say on this
du
question; and so is Mars. The conjunction of Mars and

lE
M e r c u r y i s n o t a v e r y d e s i r a b l e o n e , i fi t i s i n 1 , 5 , 7 o r 9 f r o m
na
the ascendant; and if any planet were to be associated with

tio
these two, then the native will not be a hypocrite. The

di
conjunction is valid if it takes place within eight degrees,

ra
rT
and if it is also in the same constellation. Similarly an

fo
afflicted Mercury in the nihth house along with a malefic is

tre
bound to give the same feature. The ninth denotes the

higher mind and its opposite looks after the lower mind. If
en
Mars is in the third without any benefic aspects, the same

C
result will follow. The conjunction of the lords of the fourth

and ninth houses in the sixth is another indication. If Aries
is the ascendant with Mercury posited therien, the same
result will follow. This hypocrisy will be perceptible in the
emotional life of the individual if Saturn, Mars and Rahu are
in conjunction preferably in 3,6,4 or 9 from the ascendant.
Along with these indications, one has to look into the other
factors also before pronouncing a judgment.
If Mars is in the third house aspected by the Moon and
Mercury, one has a tendency to betray those who believe in
him. Mercury in the sixth house is undesirable for those
born under Cemini or Virgo. The conjunction of the Sun
and Jupiter in the ninth from Karakamsa l,agna is bad for
the same reason.

the left eye that is so afflicted. If the Moon is in the twelfth

We have placed some of our observations before our
readers with the hope that they too will collect the data on
similar lines. It would be a service to the cause of astrology
if observers can find out whether these observations are
confirmed in their own experience.
Disease is generally indicated by the 6th and eighth
houses and by Kuja, Shani and Rahu. tsut certain mutual
relations of planets do indicate possible ailments. These
relations are not confined to the aspects traditionally
followed. According to Parasara, all the planets aspect

houses 3, lO, 5, 4, 8,9 and 7 though the influence of these

aspects varies from planet to planet, Convention has made
us accept the seventh house aspect only for all the planets
and restricted the others to three only. In this context, we
may remember the aspects prescribed by the Jaimini sys-
tem. We propose to deal with the ailments brought about
by the malefic aspect only. Qenerally speaking the aspects
of Mars and Saturn are malefic, though their position is not
bad.
Accidentsand resultingill health are primarily due to Mars
and Uranus.Aspect of Mars on the Sun can indicate a narrow
escape from danger as we find in the chart of Lord Roberts
who was in the greatest danger when he won the Victoria
Cross. The opposition of these bodies can suggest a he4rt
n
attack.

and seventh from arudha lagna is in the third from the lords
of these signs there is the conjunction of Shani and Rahu, one
has the inflamation of the kidney. For kidney ailments, we
have to look to the afflicted houses of Venus, Mars and Saturn
and to the sixth and seventh houses.
If the third and eighth from lagna and the karaka have the
vargas of Vrishabha and Dhanus, and these are occupied by
Mars one suffers from boils or tumours. Boils and skin erup,
tions are related to Virgo, Scorpio, Libra, Saturn and Mars.
Haemorrhoidsrefer to afflicted Scorpio and Jupiter. Mars and
Uranus are involved in surgical treatment. Ovarian tumors
involve Venus and Cancer.
If the eighth from the atmakaraka is assosited with Mer-
cury one has diarrhoeaor dysentry.Dysentryis also indicated
n
tio
by the mutual opposition of the Moon and Mars or by Saturn
ca
afflicting lhe sixth. The eighth from the lord of the Karaka is

Ketu produces cancer in private parts of the body.
Urinary Diseases: Libra and Scorpio are the seventh
and eighth signs of the Zodiac. Their rulers viz, Venus and
Mars and also seventh and eighth houses from the lagna are
concerning with urine diseases. It is observed that when
these houses and their lords and the Karaka planets are ill
placed and weak and if they are in any way related with the
sixth house or its lord it indicates the disease. The signs
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are called watery signs. These
signs also rule the urine. When Saturn in any way is con-
nected by assocition or aspect it produces stones in the
urinary passage.
AILMEIITS 683
Ircprosy: Saturn and Rahu are the two main planets

which are responsible for this disease. Besides Moon, Mars,
Mercury are also reponsible for this disease. The Karaka for
blood is Mars and Moon is the cause of all blood diseases
and Mercury is the Karaka of all skin diseases and ulcers.
They work with Satum and Rahu to give rise to the disease
of leprosy.
Few indications of this disease are given below beside
those given earlier:
(i) Lagna is occupied by Moon and Rahu and Mars in the
seventh house.
(ii) Afflicted Moon, Mars, Saturn and Venus in watery
signs.
(iii) Saturn and Mars in the ninth house aspected .by
n
Rahu.

(iv) Lagna is occupied by weak Moon, Saturn and Mars in
du

na

tio
Smallpox and Chickenpox: Smallpox is an acute in'

di
ra
fectious disease. It is characterised by a cutaneous

rT
erruption. Chickenpox is also an acute infectious disease.

fo
The ruling planets over these diseases are Mars and

tre
Mercury. It is observed when these planets are weak and

en
afflicted and if they are connected with the sixth house or

C
its lord, they give rise to smallpox and chickenPox. l-.ordof

the sixth when it is in retrograde motion also gives rise to
this disease when Venus connected with the sixth house or
its lord, it puts some marks in the face, because Venus
represents face i.e. the second house in the sign of the
Zodiac. Rahu is the planet who is the Karaka for epidemic.
When Rahu is any way connected with the combination for
this disease, it results in an epidemic.
Bronchitis: We have observed in quite a number of
cases that when the 4th house is afflicted by Mars, Saturn
and Rahu, the person becomes liable for attacks of bronchi-
tis any way, also gives the same result.
Diseases of the Digestive system: The 5th house
governs digestion. lt is observed that any malefic planet in
684 TEXT BOOK Of SCIENTIFIC IIINDU ASTROLOOY
this house causes disease in digestive system. Besides,lord

of the 5th house in company with malefic planet and 5th
house is not aspected by any benefic planet also shows
similar result.
Cirhosis of liver: Any affliction in the 5th house with a
connection of 6th house indicates this disease.
There are some ailments which can be acute. lf we can
forecast them correctly they can be controlled and cured
before they become acute. First let us look at the planets.
Heart disease, bone fractures, leprosy, and diseases in the
head are to be read from the Sun. The Moon refers to
heart, lungs, left eye, asthma, diarrhoea, poisoning of
blood, diseases from water, kidney, diabetes, dropsy, ap-
pendicitis and other things. From Mars one can find cuts,
n

These are some of the mqjor indications given to us by

C
the planets. The houses primarily involved are the 6th and
the 8th, and their rulers too have to be considered here. lt is
wiser not to read these with reference to Bhavachakra, be-
cause the equal house system of Parashara appears to be
more valuable. A few combinations indicating appendicitis
are given earlier. Here the factors involved are Virgo, the 6th
house, the Moon, and the Sun. The combinations we have
noted are:
l. The 8th house afflicted by Rahu or Kuja (Mars),while the
Moon also is afflicted.
2. Two strong malefics on both the sides of the 6th house.
5. The Moon in Kanya (Virgo) or Vrishchika (Scorpio) af-
flicted by malefics, while the 6th too is afflicted.

while the Moon is afflicted.
A native was born while Pisces was rising has Saturn in

Capricorn. This is a good example of the first combination
n
listed above. tlis appendix had to be removed. Simllar

examples can be supplied by the readers from their own

experiences. If any other combinations are found, it will be
du
better to add them to those given above.
