Planetary positions in a horoscope, human history, and the present are closely related to one another. It is not surprising that astrology and health are associated because health is a crucial component of human existence. The field of medical astrology was founded on this ideaas it relates to health and illness. The astrological study and practice of planetary effect on health and illness or disease is known as Medical Astrology. The sun, moon, and other planets, houses in the horoscope and the Zodiacs or Rashi are linked to many bodily parts, treatments, and diseases by this prehistoric Astro-medicinal system.
Dr. Pankaj Goel, one of the reputed astrologers in India, says, “Because we are all different, the way our bodies react to certain meals and activities varies. Your life may be changed for the better by finding the right diet and fitness programme for your particular planetary positions in the horoscope.”
Astrology for health and medicine has its roots in this centuries-old system of Medical Astrology. We get few references and anecdotes in the traditional texts related to Ayurveda that it use to be mandatory to learn the principles of Vedic Astrology to become a Vaid (Ayurveda practitioner) in the ancient times and one cannot deny the influence of Ayurveda on traditional Indian medicine, regardless of whether one is a member of the younger or older generation.
A thorough understanding of both astrology and medicine is necessary for medical astrology, a branch of Vedic astrology. The body part that each astrological sign is most closely related to is that particular body part. In actuality, there is some sort of connection between the plants and one or more celestial planets. This is the rationale for the traditional usage of a variety of ancient herbs to cure a certain illness or sickness. The study of medical astrology combines astronomy, human physiology, and herbs.
Three flaming signs — Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius — rule energy and are in charge of the heart, thighs, and head among other organs. These earth signs, which govern the bones and flesh, are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Breathing and the lungs are ruled by the airy signs of Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. The circulatory, digestive, and excretory systems are ruled by Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, three water signs.
We can follow our health in the stars, something not many people are aware of. The specific body parts that each planet and sign rules through their rulership are affected in different ways.
The sixth house is symbolic of diseases. When determining which illnesses the native would be predisposed to, one should take into account the planets that are occupying the sixth house, those that are aspecting it, the sixth house’s lord, the navamsaha he or she rules, and the sixth house’s significators (Mars and Saturn). The damaged bodily part is indicated by the Zodiacal sign in the sixth house, and the ailments that are likely to be brought on by it are indicated by the sign’s lord. But one must realise that each planet, when affected or misplaced, has the potential to bring forth a variety of diseases. During the era or subperiod of a powerful malefic planet in the sixth house, an illness may develop.
One of the main benefits of medical astrology is that it may help us predict how long any ailment will last and help us avoid diseases, accidents, or other health issues that may occur at certain times. Both for the benefit of the patients and as comfort, this is quite helpful.
