. Ayurvedic Astrology
The Seven planets correspond to the three Humours (Doshas) in AyurvedaVata (wind), Pitta
(bile) and Kapha (phlegm). In the Ayurvedic parlance, the Seven Revolving Heavens are
classified as (Vatam Pittayutha Karothi Dinakrith) - Jupiter (Kapha), Sun (Pitta), Moon (Vata &
Kapha), Mars (Pitta), Mercury (Pitta, Vata & Kapha), Venus (Vata & Kapha) and Saturn (Vata).
The seven planets correspond to the Seven Gross Tissue- elements (dhatus) as Jupiter (Fat),

Sun (Bones), Moon (Blood), Mars (Bone Marrow), Mercury (Skin), Venus (Seminal Energy) and
Saturn (Veins).
According to the famous Ayurvedic sage Vagbhata, Pitta has the characteristic of fire (pittamvahnihi). Therefore, when the Sun or Mars becomes unfavorable, one suffers from diseases due
to heat such as constipation, measles, ulcers, skin eruptions, small-pox, burning sensation, etc.
Unfavorable Moon and Venus produce diseases caused by water such as swellings in different
parts of the body.
Saturn brings about diseases due to wind.
Mercury brings about diseases such as brain fever, typhoid, etc due to the inflammation of all the
three doshas.
Jupiter brings about deafness.
By analyzing the horoscope, the astrologer can discern the badly placed planet and the
corresponding Dhatu which has caused the problem and can prescribe Ayurvedic remedial
measures (Dushthithasyadi Dhatustho Rogeenam Roga Eeryatham). Medical Astrologys

iv. Logical Perspective: Vedic Medical Astrology

If you look at the statistics for major health problems suffered by the mankind, you can observe
that men suffer mostly from a specific set of diseases and on the other hand women suffer from
a different set of diseases and then there are common diseases suffered by both men and
women.
Diseases common to all (both men and women) : Asthma, Skin Diseases, Allergies, Headaches,
Vision problems, Respiratory problems, Hearing problems, Stomach disorders, sexual problems,
Obesity etc.
Diseases common among Men are: Heart Problems (Most common among Men), Brain
Diseases, Liver Problems and problems relating to sexual organs and at times Brain Cancer or
Tumor.
Diseases common among Women are: Cancer is common among women, especially Breast
Cancer, Thyroid malfunction, and problems related to reproductive system.
Here is another secret, which the ancients knew, but the modern science has no idea about it. A
child is born, reaches puberty and until he/she has her/his first sexual intercourse, the diseases
one suffers are mostly common and curable or they are born with Karmic diseases (birth
defects), out of which 90% are incurable unless and until one knows how to access karmic
records and rectify them. But after the first intercourse one has with the opposite sex, one has
entered a new energy field which could prove deadly to each other or extremely favorable. This
is the important reason why in India horoscopes are matched before marriage and carnal
pleasures are forbidden for both boys and girls before marriage. Ancients knew the secrets of
bio-energy.

v. Health Science and Astrological Science

 According to Indian conceptions, certain types of diseases such as tuberculosis, cancer, etc, are
Karmic, being the consequences of certain prohibited acts which the native must have done in
his past life.
The Western medical men try to find for every disease causes within the body, and they are
treated by medicines, surgery, etc.
The majority of Hindus however still believe in the ancient theory of our suffering (physical,
mental, etc), in this life, being the consequence of certain acts done in our previous life or lives.
Karma Vipaka is an ancient treatise, listing the cause and remedial measures of various
diseases. Remedies mainly consist of Japa (Chanting of scriptures), Homa (Fire sacrifice),
Dhana (Charity), etc.

A gifted astrologist can succinctly predict, what disease is going to affect a person at what point of time and
the season of the year when it happens if at all. That is, the planets have a relationship with the seasons of the year
