A Physician cannot safely
administer medicine if he is unacquainted
with Astrology said- Hippocrates- Father of Medicine.
In ancient India,
astrology was given due importance before treating the patient. Epitome to the
above statement is that Astrology and medicine are essentially interrelated as
science and religion. Life has three dimensions – Karma, Maya and Moksha.
Karma is further
evident under physical, mental and spiritual plane. The quintessence of evil
karma's- Past and Present on a physical plane is Disease.
Disease may be
classified as Inherent and active. Inherent symptoms of disease are shown in
natal chart as afflictions. Inherent as the word suggests ‘To Inherit’ or
receive from ancestors the disease which remain in the body and become
prominent under the malefic periods. Active diseases make their appearance with
every evil transits.
The Moon represents
Mind, Ascendant the body and Sun the Soul and is the essential contents of
life. So for a healthy living these three should be free of afflictions. At
least Sun and Moon i.e Mind and soul should be unaffiliated even if Asc is
afflicted by unfavorable aspects and conjunctions.
Diseases are the
direct result of our evil karma's and are revealed by horoscope through the
planets and it is possible to diagnose them through astrology. Karmic
afflictions are decoded by planets Rahu, Ketu and Saturn. Hence when these are connected
with disease giving planets and Asc the disease is very severe. Ascendant is a strong pivotal point for
healthy living. The disposition of 1st house is very important from karmic
point of view and if the 1st House is afflicted, it is sure result of past
karmas. Any affliction of Rahu on Asc has a lasting effect on mind and soul.
10th house should also
be considered important to know disease and death of a person as profession is
a very pivotal part of human life. Some ailments have their cause relating to
10th house, like a pilot dying of air crash, miners getting trapped or a person
suffering from writers’ cramp etc.
The correlation
between planets and disease were established thousands of years age by our
great sages, who by their meticulous observing and study of charts found out
certain combinations of planets caused certain disease. By this, we may conclude that astrology is as
good as any other system or better in diagnosing disease much prior to its
onset.
Astrology is believed as ancient
occult science and is given great importance by all the civilizations. In India
astrology and Ayurveda go side by side in determining disease and its cure.
Astrology also explains human body in its own essence and terminology. The
human body is called Microcosms (Pindanda) and possesses all the essence of
Macrocosms (Bramhanda) and both are made of Pancha Butas. Planets are assigned
different tatwas and further represent different organs of the body.
