We have already said that the Five Revolving Heavens, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, Mars and Saturn,  represent the Five Great Elements. There are Five Great Equations in Horary Astrology.

 

When a querent comes to know about the health condition of a native, these Pancha Maha Sutras or the Five Great Equations should be used.

 

The three formulas we have defined already.  Jeeva Sutra is when there is  good relationship between the Udaya and Aroodha Ascendants, medium relationship means Roga Sutra and bad relationship between them means Mrithyu Sutra.

 

If Aroodha, Udaya and Chatra come in triangles, it is Jeeva.
If two come in trines, Roga
If none, Mrityu

 

As the human body  is made up of the Five Great Elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Ether and Air,  which are represented by the Five Revolving Heavens, these Maha Sutras can be used by the horary astrologer to predict about the health condition of the querent.
