Medical Astrology

• Strength of your birth chart & the quality of health you are likely to enjoy in the coming years.
• Diseases you are likely to suffer from due to certain planetary transits & combinations forming in your birth chart.
• Potential timing of ill health/ ailments attacking your system (if at all) for the next 10 years.
• In case of suffering from a certain illness, when one is likely to be cured / or turn fatal ( if life-threatening disease)
• If both medicines & surgery are the options, then which one to be followed for better results.
• If an alternate line of treatment is available like Allopathy, Homeopathy, what will be the right choice.
• Astrological Remedies to counter the effects of malefic planets causing diseases.

It is possible to diagnose a disease well before its actual appearance in the body. A disease can be expected,

• When any planet receives bad aspects like a square ( 90 Deg. ) and opposition ( 180 Deg. ).
• When bad planets ( Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Kethu, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto ) are positioned in bad houses like 6th house ( place of disease), 8th house ( place of longevity ), and 12th house ( place of death ).
• When bad planets occupy the signs: Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces.
• When bad planets occupy the ascendant ( place of body, mind, and soul ).
• Death can be predicted when Sun, Moon, and Ascendant – All the three are afflicted.
• Thus you can benefit by knowing the possible life-threatening disease or a disease that has its root cause in the early years and by working on a possible correction in lifestyle & preventive measures along with Astrological Remedies.

If it (Rasi) is a fiery sign, obtaining the 6th or 8th house, occupied by the 8th or 9th lord, who is malefic, speech defect may be predicted. If it is hemmed between malefic then dumbness is a certainty.

If the 4th house is a fiery sign afflicted and aspect by Mars surgery of the digestive system or appendicitis is indicated, aspect by Sun hyperacidity and gastric ulcer is a certainty.

Prevention is better than cure. Advance spiritual remedies will prevent the occurrence of diseases. After the evil effects have already taken root, then the spiritual remedies will reduce the suffering. Fear not for Karma as inevitable. Karma can be remedied by Karma. As Karma is not a fatalistic path, there are ways and means to mend Karma with Shanti Karmas. Take courage, be optimistic, and consult those who can give proper guidance for spiritual remedies to ward off the malefic effects of planets, ordained by destiny due to Karma.
