Western medical astrology model

Medical astrology posits the association of each sign of the zodiac with parts of the body, and was already mentioned by Marcus Manilius (1st century AD) in his epic poem (8000 verses) Astronomica. The signs of the zodiac were believed to preside over the parts of the body, covering the body from head [2] (Aries) to toe (Pisces), as follows: Aries - head, face, brain, eyes Taurus - throat, neck, thyroid gland, vocal tract Gemini - arms, lungs, shoulders, hands, nervous system, brain Cancer - chest, breasts, stomach, alimentary canal Leo - heart, chest, spine, spinal column, upper back Virgo - digestive system, intestines, spleen, nervous system Libra - kidneys, skin, lumbar region, buttocks Scorpio - reproductive system, sexual organs, bowels, excretory system Sagittarius - hips, thighs, liver, sciatic nerve Capricorn - knees, joints, skeletal system Aquarius - ankles, calves, circulatory system Pisces - feet, toes, lymphatic system, adipose tissue

The planets are also associated with certain portions and functions within the body:

The anatomical-astrological human

Sun - heart, spine, and general vitality Moon - stomach, digestive system, female organs, lymphatic system Mercury - brain, central nervous system, thyroid gland, five senses, hands Venus - throat, kidneys, thymus gland, sense of touch, ovaries Mars - muscles, head, adrenal glands, senses of smell and taste Jupiter - liver, thighs, feet, growth, pituitary gland Saturn - skin, hair, teeth, bones, the body's defenses, spleen Uranus - parathyroid gland, neural activity, aura Neptune - pineal gland, psychic healing Pluto - pancreas, metabolism, elimination

All of the systems within the body interact with one another to keep an organism healthy. Although each system has specific functions, they are all interconnected and dependent on one another. The nervous system controls various organs of the body directly. The brain also receives information from many organs of the body and adjusts signals to these organs to maintain proper functioning.

ASSOCIATED ORGANS

INTERACTION WITH THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Skeletal System

The skeletal system makes up the framework of the body and allows us to move when our muscles contract. It stores minerals (e.g. calcium, phosphorous) and releases them into the body when they are needed. The skeletal system also protects internal organs and produces blood cells.

Bones (e.g., skull, vertebrae)

ASSOCIATED PLANET: SATURN

Bones provide calcium that is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. The skull protects the brain from injury. The vertebrae protect the spinal cord from injury. Sensory receptors in joints between bones send signals about body position to the brain. The brain regulates the position of bones by controlling muscles.

Cardiovascular System

The cardiovascular system delivers oxygen, hormones,

Heart, blood vessels

Muscular System

Different types of muscles enable motion, generate heat to maintain body temperature, move food through digestive tract and contract the heart.

Muscles (smooth, skeletal and cardiac muscles)

Receptors in muscles provide the brain with information about body position and movement. The brain controls the contraction of skeletal muscle. The nervous system regulates heart rate and the speed at which food moves through the digestive tract.

Endocrine System

The endocrine system secretes hormones into blood and other body fluids. These chemicals are important for metabolism, growth, water and mineral balance, and the response to stress.

Pineal body, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, thyroid, parathyroid, heart, adrenal gland, kidney, pancreas, stomach, intestines, ovary

Hormones provide feedback to the brain to affect neural processing. Reproductive hormones affect the development of the nervous system. The hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland and other endocrine glands.

ASSOCIATED PLANET: URANUS

Receptors in skin send sensory information to the brain. The autonomic nervous system regulates peripheral blood flow and sweat glands. Nerves control muscles connected to hair follicles.

Medical Astrology(Bharatheeya Bhaishajya Jyothisham)

Vedic Medical Astrology is as old as Vedas ie. circa 20000 years. Astrology evolved from a universal philosophy that the soul is unique. The uniqueness of the soul is due to the traits and temperaments assimilated deeds along the cyles of life and death. These traits and temperaments turn out to be the impetus or the driving force that propels the soul to fleet past births and deaths. The good and evil deeds perpetrated during the course of previous lives come haunting us in the lives to come. Ayurveda, the veda of life, identifies three basic reasons for ailments. Astrology prescribes specific solutions to tide over the trio-trouble based ailments. Even before a man breaks forth, out of his mothers womb, astrology can potentially predict the ailments of his life is going to be punctuated with. A scholarly seer can accurately decipher the writing on the wall. He alone knows when, where and how an ailment is going to afflict, and which is the real course, and also how it can be cured. Where modern medical science is at a loss, astrology can foresee and chalk out viable solutions. By the complimentary combination of the wheel of time and the circle of zodiac and thereby distinguishing various ailments

on various organs as indicated by the zodiac circle, a smart diagnostic methodology has been instituted by the Medical astrology. In cases where congenital evil planets (?) - (papans) are found in 3rd 6th 8th and 11th sectors of the zodiac circle, (Bhavas segments) and also in cases where auspicious planets are positioned at Cardinal segments viz 4th 7th and 10th sectors of the zodiac, or at trines, 1st 5th and 9th sectors or if Gulikan happens to be in the center or in the central triangle of the horoscope chart then the person (Native) has the general tendency to be healthy by far. Astrology calls such heavenly bodies positioned at auspicious locations and providing good health and prosperity as Susthaas. The random combinations mentioned above reveal the following facts: *The papans (inauspicious planets, such as Kujan, Sani, Raghu, and Kethu) positioned weakly at lugnum, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, sectors can potentially invoke ill health. If they are weak even the auspicious planets placed at Shasta- ashtama-vaya positions (6-8-12) Bhavas will become the architects of ill health. The planets turned to the lagna or to the lording planet of the lugna can potentially initiate disease characteristic of those planets. The plants including the sun are reckoned to have the causative effect upon the following parts of the anatomy. Depending upon the relative position of the sun and the other heavenly bodies in the solar system in the zodiac circular band, ailments are prognosticated in the light of the astrological connection of the organs with each specific sector of the zodiac. The relationship of various heavenly bodies upon the organs is listed below. 1. Sun-entrails/abdomen 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Moon-heart Mars-head Jupiter-thighs Venus-face Saturn-knees Evil satellite (Rahu)-feet

Just like planets specific sectors of the zodiac have distinct pathological influence upon the organs 1st lagna and the corresponding dominant heavenly bodyhead. 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac sector sector sector sector sector sector sector sector sector sector and and and and and and and and corresponding corresponding corresponding corresponding corresponding corresponding corresponding heavenly corresponding corresponding corresponding heavenly heavenly heavenly heavenly heavenly heavenly body-pubic heavenly heavenly heavenly body-face. body-chest. body-heart. body-entrails. body-waist. body-hips. region. body-things. body-knees. body-legs.

and and

12th zodiac sector and corresponding heavenly body-feet. In Ayurveda all diseases are directly linked to three troubles (Vaatha Pitha Kafa- the board functional organizations of respiration digestion and movement).All basic ailments spring from the disharmony of these three factors. Based on this fundamental premise, ayurveda recognizes seven types of physical ailments. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 8. Muscular Digestive Both Both digestive and structure system systems muscular digestive systems systems provoked. provoked. provoked. provoked. provoked.

Both respiratory and All the three systems simultaneously provoked.

One of the greatest classical texts on astrology Viz Saravaly by Kalyanavaramn and his work is spread into 3600 slokas dealing with the whole gamut of astrology. The great master who sired Saravali also corroborated his views. They divulge: 1. Sun 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1.

The dependent zodiac positions of the nine planets would help prognosticate certain diseases. If sun and Mars are at an unfavorable positions ailments related to water are possible. If moon and Venus are not in favorable positions water borne diseases are certain. If Saturn is at an inauspicious position ailments related to rheumatism and air are possible. If Jupiter is not at a favorable position deafness may be due. 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 in so far as pathology goes. Saturn Venus Mars Moon Mercury Jupiter - early winter and the sun Rainy winter spring summer season autumn

In the cause and effect analyses, the specific planet that is linked with (Karakthwa-co-relation) to a particular disease has its discernible impact on the bone structure of the body and a vedanga astrologer foresees it. An intelligent and seasoned seer can precisely trace out even the dormant diseases waiting for its moment of expression such as cancer and diabetes. The cause effect relation of Shashta (6) Ashtama (8) Vaya (12) bhavas have special significance in diagnosis. In astrology the sixth sector stands for diseases, mental pains, agonies, fracture and sprain, and disasters inflicted by weapons. Ashtama (8th Bhava) points to death, terminal cases and mortal diseases, and the basic reason for the same. An astrologist can trace out the cause of a disease and the potential solution thereof through the permutative relationships of the nine planets and their ashtamabhava. There are immense possibilities in astrology to find out the fundamental diseases and their remedies by means of the closer analyses of the three fold troubles, viz Vatha, Pitha and Kaffa. A true astrologer can tell you whether a person is going to have diabetes and the age of becoming diabetic as soon as he takes birth. If there is papadrishti (The vision of evil plants) in lugnum, the dominant planet of lugnum becomes inferior, It is positioned in enemy area, there is Sukras (Veenus) vision or union in Ashtama, the 8th Bhava the person born is going to have diabetes.

Similarly very rational and profound analyses and conclusions regarding mental excitements are also available in astrology. The planetary positions pertaining to psychoanalyses are as follows. 1. If there is Jupiter in Natal legnum and Suturn in 7 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. lunacy is certain.

If Natal Jupiter in legnum and Mars in 7 lunacy is the result. If there is Saturn in legnum and Mars in 5 or 7 it results in mental excitement (Hysteria). If Moon and Mercury are found in legnum in an eclipsed state madness is due. If a weak moon and Saturn are found in 12th zodiac mental derangement is to be diagnosed. A weak moon concomitantly with papas in Natal lugman or ashtama, 2nd,12th or 9th indicates Evil asteroids (Gulikan) with papan at 7th zodiac is indicative of hysteria. hysteria.

Mercury with papan at 3rd 6th 8th or 12th zodiac is a lethal combination for madness. In the minute analyses of hysteria, astrology has very astral and delicate analytical tools. Generally the

causes provoking madness by the excitement of each of the three troubles separately (respiratory-vatha, digestivepitha and muscular-kaffa) and the synergy of the simultaneous occurrence of all the three, are classified into seven groups which are as follows:1. Over 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Greed Sudden Deep Trouble Wrath Retribution of god. sorrow emanating of and from the inky contradictory guru happiness fear melancholia. food. (master).

The diagnostic symptoms mentioned above, result from the trouble trio, curses of elders or guru, or parents or evil magic or karma and culminate in lunacy. Lunacy resulting from trouble trio can be symptomatically identified in astrology. Various sub sections and causes of madness have been discovered by astrological maestros. As an indispensable component of treatment every theologist/faith healer and doctor has to be aware of them. 1. Intake of food excessively or in small installments at the inappropriate time of 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. of 10.

Curses from elders or masters (gurus) for words of ingratitude. Sacrilegious attitudes towards the flames of Yaga-Agni and Homa-agni (this is a symbolic representation contradictory reaction to the natural phenomena) Ailments originating from blasphemy. This is a field that demands elaborate cause-effect analyses.

Mental ailments come to stay, by and by from the ten reasons presented above. A gifted and erudite astrologer can trace out the reasons and prescribe the solutions through the analysis of the disruption of health. Epilepsy Similarly astrology has streamlined specific diagnostic and treatment methodologies for epilepsy too. From the astrological co ordinates of a person (Horoscope) an adept seer can decipher whether he is going to be detained by epileptic spells somewhere in the future. If Saturn and Rahu are at Ashtama, mighty evil planets at five or nine Bhavas (Houses) and the Sun Mars in low spirits, then epilepsy is in store for him. When it comes to epileptic analysis astrology zeroes on an ultra mundane power in addition to the planetary causes. Astrology refers to this factor as planetary messengers. In order to understand them accurately astrology proceeds to define their idiosyncratic indications.

As far as astrology is concerned the superfluous arguments whether epilepsy is a disease or visitation of evil spirits is altogether impertinent. Because in the truthful search for reality astrology guides us across the mysterious sloughs of philosophies pervading the diverse realms of physical ultra physical and spiritual levels. Every disease has a manifest ruling deity or power. Its power emanates from the respective causative planets. Hence as epilepsy happens in the spheres of intellectual wheeling dealings astrology does not rule out the existence of such extra phenomenal powers maliciously operating in human sensorium. In other words the root cause of epilepsy gravitates towards the state of being possessed by evil spirits. That explains why in the analysis of the disruption of health (Uncontentment) each (Bhavas) zodiac has been assigned characteristics of general possession and mega possession (Saamanya Baadha and Maha Baadha). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Astrology has grouped the expressions of an epileptic person into twelve classes as follows:Breathing - associated with this feeling the body of the patient becomes cold. Polluting-this experience decimates the vitality of the patient and corrupts the body. Sleep - this promotes lethargy and drowsiness. Bristling - this bristles up the body and is marked by yawns from time to time. Anorexia - loses appetite. Hallucination - causes hallucinations and phobia. Hypnotic - this experience guides the patient to a hypnotic trance. Wailing - crying and weeping become the chief engagement. Rage - becomes hot tempted. Heating - the bodysuffers from a burning sensation. Wasting - body wastes away in this condition.

12. Destructive - reckless self - destructive bouts of violence, expressions will be violently destructive 13When it comes to the treatment of epilepsy, astrology generally prescribes Maha Koosamandi Homa Bali and it is worth some thought. (Those who perform yajnas like Athirathram and Somayagam get the authority and mastery to perform such Maha Yajnas aimed at controlling the elements of nature by appeasing 51 kooshmandi goddesses through sacrifice and homas.) Astrology also does the same thing to purify a soul besmirched by the sins of the past lives, which put it in the bad books of nature and gods, by the continuous and repeated enchangement of Maha Sudarsana Mantra, Certain cosmic waves are created therby and that induces magnificently auspicious waves in the sensorium of the patient, and this is a fact, that cannot be denied by anybody having some rudimentary ideas about tantric science. If the wave bands springing from homas in which sanctified rites are performed invoking and incorporating the cosmic powers, are accompanied the therapeutic effect will be more pronounced. Paraapsychologists and clinical psychologists from Germany and Soviet Russia have proved this fact through electrocyclographic tests. Similarly, if needed very potent power mantras like Crodhagni Mantra and Thrushtipu Mantra can be applied. With the background support of Ayurveda a committed practitioner, well versed in astrology, can assuage the evils associated with epilepsy. In addition to this, astrology presctribes many a therapeutic practice including Panchagavyam (A compesition of well Ayurvedic Medicine to be consumed). Astrology is armed with numerous ayurvedic combinations, which could suppress epileptic expressions with the added advantage of curing leprosy and amnesia embellishing the overall vitality of the body. The diseases related to planet Venus are on account of the evil deeds committed in the past births infringing the spirit of Dharma, which are based on the timeless Kalpa Sastra. Many ailments including common cold (jala dosha- ailments related to water), loss of charisma, premature ejaculation, nervous breakdown, inconsistencies pertaining to the libido, urinary troubles, facial problems, venereal diseases, eye diseases and the basic diseases related to digestive system are represented by Venus in an inauspicious position. The point of time when the disease commenced is a matter of vital importance to the doctor in deciding the course of treatment. Astrology can offer solid guidelines in this connection. It is not a difficult thing for an astrologist to find out the exact point of time when the disease became manifest. Even modern cannot claim this much accuracy. Astrology proclaims that the point of time when Sun moon and Jupiter, the planets that bring forth ill fate, entered the zodiac of the first letter of the message sentence signifies

the beginning of the disease. Astrology has very systematic views on the vicissitudes in the course of the disease and the information generated thereof. The most inauspicious planet among the Shashta Adhipas (The Lord of 6th Bhava or the lord of 8th Bhava) is reckoned as the planet lording over the disease, and on examining the Bhavas of that planet it becomes clear whether the climad of the disease is blown over or not. It can be assumed that the disease commenced at the point of time when the moon entered the zodiac of the 6th bhava and when the moon moves over to the zodiac of the 4th bhava the disease dies away. Modern science cannot try this type of chronological determination in the phases of a disease. In the analytical process of a disease, it is very important to find out whether a disease, is curable at all. Diseases begun on certain days and phases of the moon are incurable. On Ashtami (8th day after the eclipse), new moon days, full moon days, Chathurthy (4th day after the eclipse), Sunday, Tuesday, Saturday, on the birthday, 19th day after the birthday, 3, 5, 7, days, Ashtama Rasi Koor (8th zodiac segment from the Chandra Lugna)- diseases begun on these days have no cure. Vedanga Astrology predicts three types of effects namely Druda, Adruda, and Drudadruda karma effects resulting from the deeds of the past and present births, which decide the ultimate destiny of man. Drudda - Strong Adrudda - Not Strong - Some What Weak Drudaadrudda - Mixed State of Affair Ubhayam. 1)The Druda effects are the fruits of the reckless deeds committed in the past ignoring the prick of consciousness. It is nearly impossible to allay the effects thereof. Yet to a certain extent the deleterious consequences can be moderated by living a systematic life prescribed by the sastras and by being genuinely penitent and remorseful, helping the person to get over, with the course of life on an illumined plain. The light shed by Kkalpa Sastra and the prop offered by Tantric Science become handy here. 2. In the universal flux of life, under the inexorable pressure of circumstances, ignorance or impulsive reactions necessitated by the imperatives of life, people commit deeds that come bouncing back in later lives and they are referred to as Adruda effects. A dedicated man can assuage the detrimental impacts of the past deeds to a great extent by following the guidance of a virtuous guru and through homas, donations, prayers and meditations. 3. Drudaadruda past birth effects, originate from the deeds committed absolutely under the spell of circumstances and also in the hard times that the family tribe or household divinities are subjected to. This can be tided over with the help of a seer with divine fire and supported with adequate remedial deeds. Sasthra (Vedic Science) suggests that even accumulating hard times buttressed by Druda effects can be gotten over by proper penitence and redeeming deeds. Great masters who interpreted Vedas have underscored this conclusion when they mentioned that KarmaVipaaka Prayaschitta procedures (Total remedial measures). Arundhati Vasista, the pioneering master in the field of Indian Astrology, Yoga and Ttantric Science also comes to this conclusion. Even though there are subtle differences in phrases and presentation all masters have ultimately come to the same conclusion. If the sins committed by a person in the remote lives and lying dormant in the soul cannot be made up for as destiny would have it, on the grounds like ill health, and yet the lust for life persists to him, astrology has special mysterious systems and techniques to expunge the sins of the client and impose the same upon a refined Brahmin sanctified by persistent and religious GAYATHRI worship. Here we find the happy union of Tantric Science and Astrology. a seer acquired abnormal proficiency in the field and is having equal mastery over Astrology and Tantric Science can perform these mysterious rites. In the chronicles of Tanjore Math many such spectacular events and experiments have been recorded. That explains why Tanjor Math holds the learned view that by astrology, one among the six sciences, the destiny of man can be transmuted once and for all. All negative effects, diseases and ironical faite of human beings are the consequences of past evil deeds committed in previous births.. These are presumed to have been deposited in the soul. In the concept of deposit of past deeds, the yoga sastra manifests six chakras of human body having 51 petals.. These chakras and its petals are highly related with AKSHARA BRAHMAS ( Cosmic relations of letters).

As far as Indian medical astrology is concerned the root cause of every diseases (etiology) are absolutely karmic which is derived out of unethical, dishonest, brutal,untruthfull actions committed in the previous birth ; and its deeds will follow the aspirant ( In Sanskrit it is called JANMI).The deeds of past deposits and evil effects will metaphysically follows soul from births to births as accretion of sins.This cannot be detected under the system of modern medicine. When ever and where the physical diagnosis and treatment through modern medical science become failure there arise the relevancy and sanctity of medical astrology. The glowing tower of Indian Vedic astrology is built up on the concept of the immortality of the soul and its cyclic system of rebirth with the KARMIC DEEDS to the span of eternal time ,from births to births Differentiating factors between Indian Medical Astrology and Western Medical Astrology The part of the body of the native at which the disease appears is being determined according to the assignment of the body part of the Kaala Purusha ( the deity of Time) coincidently making assignment with the of zodiac rasis. This concept is broadly accepted by both Indian and western astrologers. Vedic astrologers do differ that the starting point or beginning of the first point of the Lagna is to be reckoned at which the native was born,and the mathematical reckoning of the first segment is more important; which is called bhava or house. The body part is reckoning with that of first segment called LUGNA.In all cases it shall not be Aries. It will vary from Aries to Pisces depending on the time of birth.According to Western Astrology all the reckonings are starting with Aries and treated as afflicted part can be reckoned with from the Aries, and if so only identical diseases will only be appear universally. This is against the universal truth. The disease of each and every person astrologically differs. It shows the imperfection of western medical astrology. When compared with western medical astrology, Indian medical astrologers can detect the absolute root cause of the disease by finding out the identity of patients deeds which causes for the disease appeared. The sharp diagnostic accuracy of the system is being achieved by indian astrologers by making rational divisions of the Lagnas chart viz. Hora, Drekkana, Navamsaka and other Shadvargas. By making correlation with these divisions with that of Navagrahas Indian astrologers attain absolute perfection three times than that of the western astrologe Minute divisions of a Lagna by dividing 150, making it as Naadyamsaka divisional concept is not operating in the western astrology; Whereas Indian astrologers by invoking the Naadyamsaka systems, find out the minute point of the afflicted part of body and by correlating this with nine planets, they are finding out the real root cause of the disease. So also from the natal chart, Indian astrologers can detect the future occurrence of disease in a new born baby which would have appear in future. Neither the modern medical science nor the Western astrologers could have succeeded so far in this field. Efficacy of Vedic Medical Astrology Innumerable procedures are laid down in the classical texts of Indian Medical astrology for the treatment of incurable diseases. Here Indian medical astrology adheres to the universal MIASMAM theory which. was derived out of Vedic metaphysical concept. The authors of the classical texts prescribe Ayurvedic system of medicine and tantric adoration remedies

Medical Astrology is the science that analyzes how these imbalances can manifest in our physical body. When the natal chart is studied in light of present or future planetary movements (transits), Medical Astrology also provides insight into the timing of events and may give us clues as to when problems may begin, or fade off. In Astrology Human Body has been divided in to 12 parts and they have been correlated with 12 houses. Just as we divide the zodiacal circle into 12 signs, we divide the horoscope into 12 houses. Houses are grouped into three categories: angular, succedent and cadent. An angular house is situated on an angle. They are the four main points on the birth chart, which are: Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven and Nadir. The angular houses are the First, Fourth, Seventh and Tenth houses. The succedent houses follow the angular houses and are the Second, Fifth, Eighth and Eleventh houses.

Cadent houses follow succedent houses and are the Third, Sixth, Ninth and Twelfth houses.

The First House The head and the face are the main parts of the body denoted by the first house. It involves the complexion, cranium, forehead, brain, hair, pituitary glands, etc. If the first house in our natal chart is weak then it results in a sickly constitution, thereby leading to headache, mental tension, paralysis, giddiness, wounds, scars, erratic activity of endocrine glands, derangement, brain fever, stupidity, nose bleeding, etc. The Second House Throat and the ears are the main parts of the body signified by the second house. It generally rules the organs like nose, throat, mouth, tongue, teeth and eyes, especially the right one), facial bones, upper neck and its bones, gullet, larynx, cerebellum, trachea, cervical region and cervical bones, tonsils, etc. Implication of poor digestion, disorders of speech, throat, cervical, gums, eyes, teeth, etc., and diseases mainly arising out of a weak venous system shows a weak second house in your natal chart. The Third House Shoulders, arms, the collar bone, hands, lungs and the nervous system are the main parts of the body denoted by the third house. The lower neck, shoulders, arms, ears hands, shoulders, collar bones, thyroid gland, respiratory and nervous systems are ruled by the third house. A birth chart showing a weak third house brings problems of respiratory canal, disorders of thyroid, imbalances in the nervous system, depression resulting in partial paralysis, stammering, shoulder pains, fracture in the collar bone region, partial deafness, respiratory diseases, asthma, tuberculosis, etc. The Fourth House Digestive organs, stomach and breasts are the organs governed by the fourth house. If the fourth house is weak in your horoscope it results in coronary problems, physical ailments of breast, chest, heart and lungs disorders, mental disorders, lunacy and the problems connected to the circulatory systems. Affliction of the fourth house by the sign of fire and when aspected by Mars indicates surgery in digestive systems whereas with watery sign affliction, diabetes and diet restrictions are likely. The Fifth House The fifth house rules the body parts like heart, upper belly, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, colon, diaphragm, spine and spinal cord, pregnancy, etc.Diabetes, peptic ulcers, anemia, colic pains, stones in gall bladder, acidity, spinal cord disorders, dyspepsia,

diarrhea, pleurisy, heart problems, etc are implications of weakness of the fifth house. If the 5th house is afflicted with airy sign it leads to mental illness, lunacy etc. The Sixth House Diseases related to body parts like waist, navel, lower abdomen, kidneys, small intestine, upper part of large intestine, intestinal function, appendix, etc are mainly due to a weak sixth house in your birth chart. It is related to sickness like appendicitis, poisoning, constipation, hernia, blood urea, psychiatric problems, exhaustion and nervous breakdown.
