Medical Astrology is that branch of Astrology dealing with Health. The 12 Signs of the Zodiac are linked to the Twelve Limbs of the body. The Ascendant rules the Head and the 12th House, the Feet. Medical Astrology, if incorporated in Astrology Software, can be of immense help in relieving patients’ of their misery.
The Law of Correspondences of Classical Philosophy has another term ” The Doctrine of Signatures”. This doctrine states that objects – animate and inanimate – are governed by planets and Classical Astrology has taken this concept beyond ” The Law of Cause and Effect ” and has defined it as Archetypal or Psychological.
Reflections of the intrinsic qualities of the planets can be seen in people, plants, animals & minerals. All that we see, touch, consume & harvest has a correspondence. By knowing our own planetary signature, we can consume those materials which correspond to our planetary signature and thus a healthy balance can be maintained. ( In my horoscope, Jupiter is posited in Cancer and hence powerful in positional as well as directional strength. If I am afflicted by any sort of disease, the escape route is the Jupiterian Way – viz consuming more vegetables and fruits, as he rules fruits and vegetables. If I do that, I will be implementing what the Great Seers said long ago ” Naturopathic food is medicine and medicine is food ” )! Since the Zodiacal Signs represent the Five Elements ( Ether , Fire, Air, Earth & Water ), the ancient astrological savants assigned everything in the Universe to a planetary ruler, and considered all as the manifestation of the Elemental Five and their respective qualities – hot and dry, cold and dry, hot and humid , cold and humid. Jupiter rules “Kapha” and the Sun “Pitta’ ( the three humors of Ayurveda ). These elements were understood in a physical & metaphysical sense, as per the principle ” As Above, So Below “. Many body constitutions are defined in Ayurveda. The Phlegmatic ( predominance of Kapha), the Bilious ( preponderance of Pitta ) & the Windy ( predominance of Vata ). There are 4 types of Body Constitution in Western Holistic Medicine – Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Choleric and Melancholic. Medical Astrology here becomes Ayurvedic Astrology, analysing the human body made of Vata, Pitta and Kapha and the seven gross tissue elements, all ruled by the Nine Revolving Heavens.

The Seven Planets correspond to the Three humours ( Doshas ) in Ayurveda
In the Ayurvedic Model, the Seven Revolving Heavens are classified thus ( Vatam Pittayutha Karothi Dinakrith)
| Jupiter | Kapha |
| Sun | Pitta |
| Moon | Vata & Kapha |
| Mars | Pitta |
| Mercury | Pitta, Vata & Kapha |
| Venus | Vata & Kapha |
| Saturn | Vata |
The seven planets correspond to the Seven Gross Tissue- elements ( dhatus) thus
| Jupiter | Fat |
| Saturn | Veins |
| Mars | Bone Marrow |
| Sun | Bones |
| Moon | Blood |
| Mercury | Skin |
| Venus | Seminal Energy |
By analysing the horoscope, the astrologer can discern the badly placed planet and the corresponding Dhatu or gross tissue element which has caused the problem and can prescribe Ayurvedic remedial measures ( ” Dushthithasyadi Dhatustho Rogeenam Roga Eeryatham ” )
Medical Astrology’s perspective about the 12 Houses of the Zodiac
| House | Organ |
| Ist House | Head |
| 2nd House | Face |
| Third House | Throat |
| Fourth House | Heart |
| Fifth House | Place beneath the heart |
| Sixth House | Stomach |
| Seventh House | Generative Organ |
| Eighth House | Upper Thigh |
| Ninth House | Thigh |
| Tenth House | Knee |
| Eleventh House | Calf |
| Twelfth House | Feet |
If in the Astrology Chart, the 6 House is afflicted, there can be digestive tract disorders. Natural malefics in the 6 H may create hyperacidity and gas trouble. Affliction either to the 7th house means disorders of the digestive tract, hyperacidity and gas trouble ( Papa Saptamagah Tadodara Ruja ). The same holds good for the 6 H ( Papa Shashtagatha Tadodararuja ). If the 6 H or the 7 H is afflicted, one should be very careful about the body’s acidity level. The body’s PH value should be kept at 7. Anything less than 7 is dangerous. The 80% alkaline nature of the body should be kept up & acidity should not be above 20%. The best foods to be taken are Vedic Foods, which are low acidity, low cholesterol diet.The Acidity- Alkalinity ratio should be kept at 80% -20%. That ratio can be maintained if you consume 100 grams fruits and 300 grams vegetables daily and avoid non-natural food. Natural foods are alkaline and non-veg basically acidic. From experience, it can be discerned that not only malefic planets bring in problems from enemies, but also problems to the stomach ( Pape Shashtopagathe Vrina Bhayaschora Satru Peeda Cha ).
If the 12 H is afflicted by malefic planets, there can be affliction to the feet. We have seen many a patient suffering from 12 H affliction and which manifests as problems on the feet. One should beware of hidden enemies as well !
Similarly, 4 H affliction means trouble to the Heart. I knew one patient with heart problem who had the North Node in the Fourth. He had a heart surgery. The North Node in the Heart region in the horoscope had effectuated this problem.
There are some astrologers who take this from the Horoscope of the Cosmic Man, that is from His Ascendant Aries. This method also yields results but from our experience, we follow the dictum of Natal Astrology that it is the Ascendant of the native which is the head and the Descendant the stomach region. I know many an astrologer who follow this from Aries Asc & if a malefic is posited in Virgo, in the 6 H of the Kalapurusha ( Cosmic Man ), he predicts stomach problems for the native. ( Kalanarasya Avayavath Purushanam Kalpayeth ). Or if a malefic is posited in Taurus, he predicts wounds on the face for the native.
Affliction to any house indicates affliction to the corresponding part of the body. North Node – or any other malefic – in the Sixth is indicative of stomach trouble & ulceration. Fourth house affliction means that the heart is afflicted and first house affliction means that the head is afflicted. ( Pape Lagnagathe Parajaya Bhaya Siroruja )
The planets correspond to the different systems of Man thus
| Sun | The Bone System |
| Moon | The Circulatory System |
| Mars | The Muscular System |
| Mercury | The Veins |
| Venus | The Reproductive System |
| Jupiter | The Digestive System |
| Saturn | The Excretory System |
From experience, Vedic Medical Astrology is found to be very accurate. In my father’s horoscope, he had a specific yoga for Arthritis with Jupiter in Libra Asc and Saturn in Aries. My mother has Saturn in the 12 H; she has a problem in the leg. My co-brother has Mars in the 12 H; he is suffering from some nerve problem on the feet. I personally have the North Node in the 6 H and I have hyperacidity and gas trouble ( Papa Shashtagatha Tadodararuja ) !
It is time Astrology Vedic programs incorporated Medical Astrology ! Three sorts of formulae are given in the Anushtana Paddhati, dealing with Medical Astrology. Roga Sutra is the formula for disease, Mrityu Sutra is the formula for Death and Jeeva Sutra for escaping from disease ! Vedic astrologers who study vedic horoscopes should incorporate the Prasna Anushtana Paddhati by Puliyoor to hone up their astro skills !
