Understanding Health and Longevity Through the Stars

Medical Astrology is a specialized branch of astrology that delves into health and longevity issues. Each zodiac sign and planet is associated with specific areas of the body and potential diseases. While astrology can indicate vulnerabilities to certain ailments, it is essential to remember that only a qualified medical doctor can diagnose or treat a condition. Astrologers, on the other hand, can identify sensitive areas in the body that may be prone to acute or chronic issues.

Houses Related to Health and Diseases

Climate change, erratic weather conditions and lifestyle changes are indeed a big reason for poor health conditions these days, yet you cannot rule out the role of planets. Many times we see people fall critically ill yet survive and live a long life and there are cases when we see a very healthy-looking person suddenly become paralysed and remain so till the end of their life. In all this, we can easily feel the impact of planets and stars on our lives. Many times, astrological remedies and divine interventions due to belief in the Almighty also help people recover from a very critical health condition. In astrology, various houses in the birth chart play pivotal roles in determining health and sickness:

Sixth House: The House of Sickness

The sixth house is directly associated with diseases and illnesses. It is often referred to as the ‘house of sickness.’ Health problems typically arise when the individual experiences the mahadashas or Bhuktis (planetary periods) of planets connected to the sixth house. Any planet associated with this house can indicate health issues. These planets may own the sixth house, occupy the constellation of the sixth lord, or reside in its sub-lord. Such connections are often indicative of ailments.

Eighth House: The House of Longevity and Danger

The eighth house governs longevity and the end of life. It is also known as the ‘house of death.’ Apart from longevity, this house signifies misfortunes, mental anxiety, accidents, surgeries, and serious illnesses. In determining lifespan, the first and third houses are also analyzed in conjunction with the eighth house.

Twelfth House: The House of Hospitalization

The twelfth house is linked to hospitalization, confinement, and significant expenses related to health. Additionally, it governs losses, charity, secret enemies, and repayment of loans. If a planet connected to the twelfth house also influences the sixth or eighth house, it may signify hospitalization due to illness.

Indicators of Cure and Recovery

For recovery from diseases, the first, fifth, and eleventh houses are significant:

First House: Physical Vitality and Health

The first house, or the Ascendant, represents the native’s physical stature, vitality, and overall health. A well-placed ascendant lord ensures good health and resilience against illnesses.

Fifth House: Absence of Sickness

The fifth house negates sickness as it is the twelfth house to the sixth. Planets associated with the fifth house indicate improvement in health and recovery from diseases.

Eleventh House: Cure and Discharge

The eleventh house represents the cure of diseases as it is the sixth from the sixth house. Planets connected to this house facilitate recovery. A strong eleventh house ensures the individual can overcome chronic illnesses and signifies discharge from the hospital.

Planetary Periods and Health

Health problems manifest when a person undergoes the period of a planet connected with the sixth house. Conversely, recovery is likely during the sub-periods of planets associated with the first, fifth, or eleventh houses. For instance, a Virgo native may experience health issues during the period of a planet in Scorpio that is influenced by Saturn’s star and the Sun’s sub-period.

Conclusion

Medical Astrology provides a comprehensive framework for understanding health and longevity through planetary influences. By analyzing the sixth, eighth, and twelfth houses, as well as the first, fifth, and eleventh houses for recovery, astrologers can offer insights into an individual’s health journey. However, it is crucial to rely on medical professionals for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Astrology serves as a guide to recognize potential vulnerabilities and support a holistic approach to well-being. So, according to astrology, there are various problems associated with all nine planets and their remedies that can help you protect yourself from various health conditions caused by the position of these planets in your birth chart.
