MEDICAL ASTOLOGY
HORA Astrology apart from other things also deals with constitution of our body and its health. We may call it as MEDICAL ASTROLOGY. It is a science that demands a union of knowledge of Astrology, Physiology and Anatomy of Human body and Medicine. According to astrology planets and the Constellations affect the constitution, functions and the health of a person. A planetary configuration releases certain energies. When these energies are not in harmony with the energies of an individual, they bring problems in the normal functioning of body. The five elements Ether, Fire, Air, Earth and Water form the substratum of the zodiacal signs. Hence astrologers assigned every thing in the universal order to a planetary ruler and twelve signs of the Zodiac are correlated to the different parts of human body.
In ancient times medical practitioners in India used to be astrologers.Ayurved, a Vedang, was our pathy for treatment of diseases. Astrology was the essential part
for study of Ayurved. Different planetary conditions helped Ayurved chikitsak in analysing the nature, site and duration of disease. According to Ayurved three type of nadi runs in human body: - 1- Pitt nadi 2- Vat nadi and 3- Kaph nadi. Two types of diseases are recognised: 1- Karmaj, 2- Doshaj. Disease which is due to disequilibrium of three dosh: a-vat (wind)b- pit (bile) c-kaph(phlegm) is termed as Doshaj disease while diseases caused due to bad deeds(pap karma) of previous births is Karmaj disease.Doshaj disease is curable by medicines while karmaj diseases are not amendable to medical treatment. They can be cured by Jap, tap, hom, daan etc as stated in Prasna Marg, chapter 13 slok 29, which reads as under:
‘janmantar kritam papam byadhi rupen jayate
Tachantiraushadhey darneyarjapa homarchnadibhih’
Homoeopathy reveals that in constitution of human body three miasm plays important role. They are 1- psoriasis, 2- syphilis, and 3- sycosis. For sound health
a balance should be maintained. When these miasm are unchecked health trouble starts in the body. It is only vital energy, if employed properly in the form of homoeopathy medicines that can check their balance. All diseases, especially chronic in nature, are associated with more than one miasm and their management takes a long time and some times become incurable.
Biochemical system, which also works on the principle of Homoeopathy, says that human body is constituted of mainly twelve salts. Each has its own job to do and is vital to our well being. Each salt is assigned a Zodiacal sign. According to sun sign of a person, and after scrutinising thoroughly his horoscope, he can be treated by giving him selected salt.
What are the similarities between astrology and homoeopathy in diagnosis and treatment of diseases is subject and aim of our short discussion. Actually both Astrological and Homoeopathic remedies works on the mental and physical
symptoms developed in the body due to disturbances of vat/ pit/ kaph dosh or imbalance of psoric/ sycotic/ syphilitic miasm.
On all above points and factors we will discuss in concerning chapters
in details.
CHAPTER -2
ASTROLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF HUMAN BODY
a- HUMAN BODY AND SIIGNS:-
Varahamihir, noted Indian Astrologer of sixth century AD, divide body of KALPURUSH in 12 parts in his famous book BRIHAJJATAKAM. Slok 4 of chapter (1) reads as under:
‘Kalangani varangamananpuro hritkrodvasobhrito’
Vastibyarjjinbhurujanuygale janghe tatoangdhridayam’
Mesharischaprathama navarchacharanaschakristhita rashayo’
Rashichetragrihrchabhani bhawanam chaikarthsampratyayah:’
Thus different parts of the body to different signs assigned are as follows:
Aries – head; Taurus – face; Gemini – chest; Cancer – heart; Leo – belly; Virgo – waist; Libra – lower belly (the part of the abdomen below the navel and above the sexual organs);Scorpio – sexual organs; Sagittarius – thighs; Capricorn – knees; Aquarius – buttocks; and Pisces – feet.
Maharsi Parasar, father of Indian Astrology in his famous book ‘Brihat Parasar Horashastra’ also divide in the same manner in chapter 4, slok 4.
‘Sheershananao tatha bahuhritkrodakatibastayah:
Guhayorujanuyugame vai yugale janghake tatha
Charano dwao tatha lagnajjgeya sheershadayah: kramat.’
Left and Right Halves
Varahamihir also classifies the various parts of the body, depending upon the rising Drekanna in chapter Janmavidhinarmadhyay. In slok 24 he classify in the manner if one is born in the first Drekanna, it indicates the area between the head and neck, the 2nd Drekanna between the neck and navel and the 3rd Drekanna shows the area below the navel.
Slok is as under;-
‘Kandriqchotranasakpolhanavo vaqtram cha horadayaste
Kanthansakbahupasharvahridayakrodani nabhiastatah:
Vasti shishnagude tatarshcha vrishanaburu tato januni
Janghaangadhreetyubhyatra vamamuditeyardreshkan bhageystridha’
According to it the distribution is as under given chart;-

Kalayan Verma in his book SARAVALI in chapter 4 (gungunadhyay), slok 4 &5, also divide body depending upon rising Drekanna almost in same manner.
b- HUMAN BODY AND PLANETS:-
Mantreshwar in his book Phaldipika in chapter grahbhedadhyay: slok ,8,to 14 described function of planets in human body. The division is as follows:-

Grahagunswarupadhyay divide tissue lordship of each Planet.
Slok is as under:-
‘Asthi raktastatha majjatwaga vasa veeryamewa cha

d- HUMOUR and PLANETS & SIGNS:-
Ayurved, a Vedang, defines the body constitution in terms of three humours 1-Vat-This denotes the windy constitution, 2-Pitt-This denotes the bilious constitution, and 3-Kaph-This denotes the phlegmatic constitution. In this reference following classification is described for planets and signs by most astrologers also:-
Typical characteristics of the above three humour is under:-
A Vat type person is generally slim, has difficulty in concentrating, feels the cold and wants to be quickly satisfied in his needs. He eats quickly, eats at irregular hours and chews his food too much.

e- CLASSIFICATION OF HUMAN BODY IN REFERANCE TO K. P. SYSTEM
Late Professor K. S. Krishnamurthy made detailed views of Astrology by giving importance to:
(1) individual cusp
(2) planets
(3) Stellar lord-sub, sub-lord
(4) Significations and ruling planets theory.
The twelve signs of the Zodiac commencing from Aries in general and from the ascendant in particular govern the twelve important organs of the human body. Planets in one sign will affect organs governed by that sign of the same elements or constitution. According to this system:
1- All fiery sign control the vitality of a person,
2- All earthy sign controls the bones and flesh,
3- All watery sign control blood and its circulation,
4- All airy signs control breath and breathing.
In this system the 360 degrees of the Zodiac are divided into 249 subs and these subs and sub lords do play important role in pathogenic (disease producing) effects on body system.
This system assigned different parts of human body to, a- all 12 house/ bhava, b- planets from Sun to Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, c-27 constellations from Ashwini to Revati.

CHAPTER – 3
ASTROLOGY AND DISEASES
a: - KIND OF DISEASE: - According to PRASNA MARG (chapter 12, slok 17 to 24) there are two types of diseases:-
1- Sahaj or Nij
2- Agantuk
1- Sahaj 0r Nij is also of two type:-
a:- Sarirotta
b:- Chittotha
Both diseases are known as mental diseases.
a:- sarirotha diseases can be determined by considering the strength of the 8th house, its lord and the planet occupying or aspecting 8th house and 8th lord.
b:- chittotha diseases are diagnosed by analysing nature, strength and relationship of the lords of 4th and 8th houses.
2:- Agantuk:- Such type of diseases are also of two kinds:-
a:- Drista Nimittaj:- This kind of diseases are diagnosed from analysing the 6th house, its lord, the planets occupying or aspecting 6th house and planets influencing 6th lord. If 8th lord is influencing 6th house or/ and 6th lord then the intensity of the disease will increase.
b:- Adrista Nimittaja:- This type of disease is caused by Badhak planets.
b: - CAUSE OF DISEASE: - PRASNA MARG(chapter 13 slok29, 30,31 and 32)states that in human body disease is caused due to pap karm (bad deeds) and it is reflected as a disease in body in following ways:-
1-- Diseases due to disequilibrium in three doshas, 1-Vat(wind), 2-Pitt(bile) and 3-Kapha (phlegm). This is curable by medicines.
2- Diseases caused by affliction of planets and houses.It are curable by medicines.
3- Disease due to abhishap of devtas , rakshchas, which can be diagnosed by ill placement of badhak planets and subplanets (upgrahas),are not cured by medicine.These can be cured by jap, tap, daan and hom etc.
According to SarvarthChintamani:
(1) If the sun is in the 6th with a malefic planet & is also aspect by a malefic, then the native will suffer from wounds or boils in the navel region due to excessive heat.
(2) If the Moon is in the 6th with a malefic & is also aspect by malefic & is in a malefic navamsa, then the native suffers from windy troubles.
(3) If it be mars in such conditions, then the native suffers from heat and defective blood.
(4) If Mercury is so situated in 6th, the native suffers from Phlegm & windy trouble.
(5) If Jupiter is in the 6th, then there will be swollen areas in the body.
(6) Venus similarly placed in the 6th; native will suffer from loose motions.
(7) If Saturn is so situated, then the native will suffer from colic trouble. If it is Rahu or Ketu, then native will suffer trough some dead spirit.
(8) If the Moon is so located with Mars, the native suffers from mental aberration & jaundice etc. If the Moon in the 6th is with Mars & the Sun, the native suffers from colic pain etc.
(9) If Mars is in 6th With Mercury aspect by Venus & the Moon and Mars is in the Navamsa of a malefic planet, the native suffers from consumption.
(10) If the 6th is occupied by Saturn & Mars and is aspect by the Sun & Rahu & the lord of the Lagn is weak, the native suffers from chronic diseases.
(11) If the Saturn is the 6th house with Gulik & aspect by the Sun, Rahu & Mars & is neither in association with nor aspect by any benefic planet, then the native suffers from cough, asthma, consumption etc.
(12) If the Moon is in a watery sign in the 6th & the 6th lord is also located in a watery sign aspect by Mercury, the native suffers from urinal troubles.
(13) If the lord of the 6ht is weak in lagn or Mars is in the lagn, the native suffers from trouble in the head or in the face & suffers from colic paints.
c- LOCATION OF DISEASE:-
We can analyse the location of disease in human body, according to affliction of a particular sign, planet, constellation or/and house.
1-AFFLICTION OE SIGNS:- Lagn sign, Moon sign and sign of 6th and 8th houses and humours controlled them is main deciding factor in diagnosing and cure of diseases.

d:- DIAGNOSIS OF DISEASE:-
The general principles of diagnosis of disease are:-
(a) The 1st, 6th, 8th, and 12th, houses are the main houses of diseases.
Ascendant the 1st house: - This is rising sign at the time of birth and is an essential point from health point of view. The body traits (Pit, Vat, Kaph) & mental traits (Sattwa, Rajas, Tamas), physical capability, tolerance power, behavioural aspects can be studied from the natal chart. It helps in diagnosis of disease & for selection of drugs & medicine.
Sixth House: The 6th house is the house of sickness. The significator of 6th & lagn indicate the ailment. If the planet is in its own house or exaltation sign, it will not produce any chronic disease.
Twelfth House: It is an indirect house of sickness. Diseases which call for long hospitalisation are indicated by the 12th house.
Eighth House: It indicates fatal diseases that may cause death.
(b) All chronic & incurable diseases are caused by Saturn, Hershel & Neptune. These Planets are capable of creating a block (addition & deletion) in the DNA structure. Rahu & Mars produce acute diseases or diseases due to environmental factors. Jupiter, Venus & Mercury usually help in improving health but when they are aspected by malefic planets. They create some deficiency in the body’s defence system.
(c) If the 8th house is occupied by Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Hershel, or Neptune, irrespective of zodiacal sign, the native will suffer from diseases of prostate glands, anus (rectum), and generative system & in case of ladies, from irregularity of menses, diseases of uterus & ovaries.
(d) When the 1st, 6th or 12th house is occupied by malefic planets in evil Nakshatra (stars 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23 to 27) & aspected by other malefic planets also positioned in above Nakshatra, the native will suffer from chronic & incurable diseases.

CHAPTER – 4
DISEASE AND HOMOEOPATHY
a:-Body constitution:-
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann developed this system of treatment of diseases, a German doctor in 1678 AD. According to homoeopathy constitution of human body plays an important role in the selection of remedies for treatment of diseases. Normally homeopathy divides human body in three constitutions or in other words in three miasm: - 1- syphilitic 2- sycotic 3-psoric.These miasm may be inherited or acquired at any stage of life. In syphilitic constitutions the old history of syphilis in the family or patient may be traced. In the sycotic constitution, the hereditary cause may be gonorrhoea while in psoric constitution history of skin disease in the family or patient may be traced. Syphilitic patients generally suffer or worse during night; sycotic patient feel worse during the day while psoric can be worse at any time. In order to combat diseases under the various constitutions we must treat them with remedies indicated in the corresponding to the constitutions given by Dr. Hahnemann.
b:-Diagnosis and cure of diseases:-
In homoeopathic system medicines are given on mental and physical symptoms. If a person is arrogant, egoistic, proud, he may be treated by medicine Nux Vomica. Similarly if he is cruel, Anacardium may be a suitable medicine. To an irritable and short tampered person, Bryonia and Nux Vomica may be given. For domineering people, Lachesis and jealous people, Hyoscyamus is suitable Medicine. All above mental symptoms or few of them may develop in a person. All these mental symptoms are characteristic of afflicted Sun especially if it is ascendant lord. The Moon affects emotions of a person. Moon characteristic qualities are changeability, indecisiveness, fickle mind, tearful disposition. The homoeopathy remedies for all these symptoms are:-Indecisive, fickle mind, Irritable – Baryta carb, Graphites, Ignatia, and Pulsatilla. Mild, Gentle, Yielding changeable- Ignatia, Pulsatilla.Tearful-Weeping- Cimicifuga, Graphitis.Ignatia, Nat mur, Pulsatilla.
Similarly all other planets and sub planets create particular mental and physical problems when they are afflicted.
The 6th house, its lord and its depositor and planet occupying this house gives clues of sickness or disease and its nature. The ascendant lord indicates the nature and mental temperament of the person. Based on the above two factors, a homeopath can select the remedy to cure the patient. The homoeopath must know Astrology for this type of treatment.
Ms EILEEN NAUMAN, an American Adjunct Professor at The Union Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio, in her book Medical Astrology published by Health Harmony (B. Jain Publisher) with Blue Turtle Publishing, USA. writes In chapter-10 ‘Homeopathy and Astrology’ that ‘homeopathy with its single purpose of attention to the whole human being and the prescribing of the remedy to trigger the person’s immune system to begin its own curative process, is a medical philosophy which is recognized and extensively used by physicians throughout the world. She further writes that the astrology of homeopathy is very complex and not easily applied. The entire philosophy of homoeopathy embraces and honours the individual and his/ her symptoms- spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. Astrology does the same thing. Both methodologies are holistic.
Chapter - 5
Comparison between astrology and homoeopathy in curing diseases:-
HOMOEOPATHY AND ASTROLOGY mainly works on the principle of mental symptoms developed in the body due to disequilibrium of three humours i.e. vat, pit and kaph( astrological factors) or psora,syphilis and sycosis( homeopathy’s three miasm responsible for disease).A patient is treated on the basis of symptoms that had developed in the body due to above reasons.

CHAPTER 6
SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ASTROLOGY AND HOMOEOPATHY
On the basis of previous discussions we can summarise the similarities of principles on which astrology and homoeopathy works in diagnosing and curing the diseases as under:-
1- Astrology works on the principle that body is controlled by three humours,i.e.Vat, Pitt and Kaph while homoeopathy named these
humours as Psora, Sycosis and Syphilis.
2- The afflicted planets creates disease and such disease is cured by giving remedies of that planet. Homoeopathy also works on the principle that things which have created disease, the homoeopathic form of that thing will cure that disease. If Sun is afflicted it means humour Pitt is afflicted.
Therefore Ruby, Gem for sun, will cure this problem, or mantras of Sun will give relief.Similarily medicine in homoeopathic form to control Pitt (psora) will be given in such cases.
3- According to astrology affliction of three humours create mental and physical symptoms which come out in the form of disease while homoeopathy also emphasize on the principle that imbalance of psora, sycosis and syphilis is main cause of diseases.
CHAPTER- 7
CASES

She has a permanent problem of high blood pressure and sore throat. She is over sensitive to cold and pessimistic in nature.For all above diseases and problems following planetary positions and affliction are responsible:-1-Asc lord mercury is combust by 12th lord sun and is aspected by 6th lord Saturn., Saturn is also aspecting 12th house and retrogate Jupiter which is placed in 12th house. Saturn aspect on ascendant lord which is combust by12th lord sun made her pessimistic. Affect of Saturn on 2nd lord Venus which is placed in Saturn’s house and aspect on12th lord Sun created problem of cataract. Moon of dark fortnight( Krishna paksha chatuthi) is acting as a malefic also affecting Venus, a planet of eyesight. Melefic Moon and Venus are in 6th house,which is house of Saturn,and aspect of Mars on both of them created problem of high blood pressure and tumour in uterus. Placement of ascendant lord in trikon house, Moon having lordship of 11th house, benefic aspect of Venus on 12th house, benefic aspect of Jupiter on 6th house,Moon ,Venus and on 8th house are positive points in fighting with diseases and negative points. The lady developed following mental symptoms:
Indecisive, suspicious to imaginative baseless fears, sad and dejected,irritable, restless and of changing attitude. All these mental symptoms are related to Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars and Saturn. On the basis of these mental symptoms she was treated with Nux Vomica, Lachesis, Pulsatilla, Causticum,Phraxnus,
Aurum mur and Aurum met. Her uterine tumour was dissolved by this treatment during Mercury dasa Jupiter bhukti(from 5-3-1996 to 11-06-1998).
Cataract was removed by surgery in December 2004 in Ketu dasa Mars bhukti. She is being treated for throat problem but presence of three malefic in third house have made this problem too chronic.Afffliction of Sun and Moon clearly indicate affliction of all the three humours Vat, Pitt and Kaph in
astrological view while on other hand in homoeopathic classification it is disturbance of all the three miasm i.e. psora, psycosis and syphlic.For such constitutional diturbunces homoepathy advise some constitutional medicines like Sulphur,Thuja, Psorinum and Calcarea etc and astrology advise jap of Sun, Moon,Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva.
Case2- A is male born on 25-4-1975 at 15.45.00. Birth place-Longitude 86E 25’00 Latitude25N20’00, birth day- Friday, birth tithi- Purnima, Asc-Vir-10:39:54, Sun- Ari-12:31:25, Moon-Lib-07:04:36, Mars-Aqu-18:18:11, Me©-Ari-20:03:17, Jupiter-Pis-16:55:19,Venus-Tau-21:24:02, Sat-Gem-21:17:12, Rahu-Sco-08:58:32, Ketu-Tau-08:59:32, Ayanamsa-22:04:15 Raman. Balance of vimshottari dasa at birth time is Rahu 17yrs 5 months 12 days. He is running in Jupiter dasa Mars bhukti from 6-6-2005. Stones in both kidneys is developed in this period. He is being treated with homoeopathic medicines Lycopodium; Berberis vulg,Acid benzoic,Phosphorus and Pareira brava and positive result is obtained. Stones are reduced to smaller size. He is curing fast. If we diagnose it astrologicaly we find that his ascendant lord Mercury is in 8th house and is combust with 12th lord Sun.Apart from it Mercury is placed between two malefics Ketu( due to4th aspect of Mars on Ketu and Venus both are afflicted) and Sun Here Mercury is in papkartari yog. The other benefic Jupiter, which is placed in 7th house, is also in papkartari yog being hemmed between two melefics Sun and Mars. Mars being lord of 8th and 3rd house and is placed in 6th house have become strong malefic and is aspecting 9th, 12th, and 1st houses.The third benefic planet Venus, which is placed in his own sign Taurus, is in 9th house. Venus is also afflicted due to aspect of Rahu and Mars. Saturn, which is lord of 6th house, is aspecting 12th, 4th, 7th house and 4th and 7th lord Jupiter. So affliction of 7th and 8th houses,ascendant’s lord and 7th lord, presence of Mars in 6th and Sun in 8th created problem in kidneys and urinary tract.Moon of purnima tithi is placed in 2nd house.Moon is lord of11thhouse and is aspecting Mercury and Sun and have benefic influence on them and 8th house. The young man due to above planetary combinations and afflictions have developed mental symptoms;- short tempered, lazy & lethargic, changeable, lack of continuity, loss of confidence, confused thoughts and little things annoy him. All these mental symptoms confirms affliction of ascendant lord Mercury, Jupiter,Venus, ascendant,7th and 8th houses.Affliction of ascendant lord Mercury, Jupiter and sign virgo and pisces indicate the imbalance of all the three humours ;vat, pitt and kaph, or all the three miasms ; psora, psycosis and syphlic. For such patient Lycopodium is main constitutional medicine.The patient is improving with help of this constitutional medicine.

Saturn and Rahu are in 8th house while Ketu and retrogate Jupiter are placed in 2nd house.Thus planets of skin Sun and Mercury are aspected by malefic 6th lord retrogate Mars.Affliction of ascendant Lord mercury and Sun clearly indicate the disturbance of vat, pitt and kaph.Presence of Sat and Rahu in 8th house indicate that reasons of this disease can not easily be diagnosed.
Case- 4 – A lady is born on 7-04-1924 at 17.30 pm on a place of Longitude: 84E00’00, Latitude: 25N40’00. Her horoscope details are: Asc.Vir17.20.25,

Allopathy Doctors declared that lady will not survive for more than six months. Then she was given homoeopathic treatment and she survive
more than three and half years with normal health condition. She was
given Carduus marianus, Chelidonium, Kalmegh, Fel tauri, Galium, Hydrastis,and Carcinosin on mental symptoms and physical condition.She developed mental symptoms; depressed, despondancy, feels heavy and vertigo.Her digestion was too weak, stones were developed in kidneys, and in ears Eustachian catarah and mild deafness occurred. All these symptoms correlate with symptoms of above mentioned medicines.If we analyse birth chart we find that ascendant lord Mrecury is in 8th house, lord of that house is Mars which is inimical to Mercury.The lord of 6th house, which is house of disease, Saturn is reterogate and exalted and is placed in 2nd house giving malefic aspect to Mercury.Saturn is lord of 5thhouse also which is house of digestive system.Presence of malefic Ketu in 6th house clearly indicating problem of digestion from early years because depositor of it, the Saturn is in 2nd house.The lord of house of disease, Saturn is turned into more malefic due to reterogation During Saturn dasa Rahu bhukti she suffered with liver cancer and other previous problems exaggerated. She died in Jupiter bhukti. In trimshamsha Rahu, Saturn and ketu are in Saturn’s trimshamsha while Sun and Jupiter are in Mars’s trimshamsha. Affliction of Mercury which is ascendant lord also clearly shows imbalance of all the three humours because Mercury represents all the three’s.

PREFACE
It is said most often that HEALTH IS WEALTH. Good health is one of the most essential things for a happy life.Astrology deals this important aspect of human life in details through various principles. These principles are mainly based on affliction of planets, houses, signs and constellations. When these are afflicted, certain mental and physical symptoms developed in a person
Homoeopathy works on the principle of mental and physical symptoms
developed in the body due to diseases. Astrology and Homoeopathy both works on same principle. Astrology says that imbalance of three humours,
i.e. Vat, Pitt and Kaph are main cause of diseases while homoeopathy named these humours as Psoric, Sycotic and Syphilitic.
With inspiration and encouragement from our honourable HOD& Prof. Dr.Brijesh kumar shukla and Sri CB Shukla other respectable lecturers and teachers.I have made an earnest endeavour in this new little known auspicious work. I have recorded this topic in a simple and lucid language.
I am grateful to all publishers, authors of various books and articles
published in various astrological magazines which I have gone through.
In the last I am thankful to my colleague Mr.Ritesh srivastav, Asutosh bajpai, Ambarish pandey, Bhrigumuni shukla and many others for their cooperation.
