HEALTH ASTROLOGY

Health astrology is a unique line of Vedic astrology, which investigates links between cosmic energies and planetary positions on the one hand, and a person’s health and individual state on the other. It takes notice of the fact that astrologers have been admitting for centuries that whatever occurs in the universe does have profound influence over the physical and mental well-being of a person. In comprehension of relation between the planets loci and zodiacal signs of a native it is possible to comprehend what and how in aspect to health it remains a person vulnerable and how it is possible to preserve harmony.

This blog aims at the occasion of explaining principles of health astrology, and how it is read, and its practicability in the present day world.

What is Health Astrology?

Medical astrology or health astrology focuses on how the positions of planets can influence an individual’s health status, or on the emotional level. This is on the basis that each planet and the corresponding zodiac sign and astrological house relates to certain body parts and physiological systems.

For example:

• Likely, the said Sun is related to life- force or spirit and the heart.
• The Moon controls thinking, liquidity, and feelings.
• Mars governs in areas of muscles and blood circulation.
• It rules over bones and chronic diseases.

Thus, while interpreting the natal chart, an astrologer is able to pinpoint certain weaknesses regarding health and suggest ways to manage health issues.

The Connection Between Planets and Health

Basically, in astrology, the planets are supposed to be heaven’s way of controlling various areas of human life, including health. Each planet radiates some frequencies that correlate with activities and organs in the human system. When these energies are in tune, there is a state of health. Though one may languish here healthily and happily, malefic placement of some planets or adverse transit makes one sick.

For instance an over-weak Sun may reduce the immunity or lead to heart problems and similarly an over-weak moon may lead to sliding of the emotions or digestive upset. By being aware of these links a person can address the issue through changing their diet, lifestyle or spiritual approach.

Similarly, there is another important idea which one can have on Karma. Negativity in life can manifest in health problems, and for this astrology provides ways of addressing imbalances brought about by karma. These remedies vary from chanting some particular mantra to completing certain acts of charity.

How to Analyze Health Through a Birth Chart

1. Check the Ascendant and Its Lord

The best strength of the ascendant and its planet ruler shows optimum health and disease free body health of the person. 

2. Examine the 6th House

The 6th house and its Lord represent sickness and diseases. If there are negative malefic Mars, Saturn, Rahu, there can be long lasting or serious health problems.

3. Focus on Planetary Aspects

Aspects such as Jupiter or Venus make a beneficial aspect that can heal or protect you while an aspect such as Saturn or Mars in the same house can increase your health concerns.

4. Consider Transits and Dasha Periods

Some of the planetary transit and Mahadasha may result in health events. For instance, Rahu or Saturn Dasha results in karmic health problems attached to this Dasha.

5. Nakshatras and Health

Even health tendencies, temple suggests, can be figured out by the nakshatra (lunar mansion) of the Moon or ascendant.

Astrological Remedies for Health

There are so many remedies suggested by astrologers to vibrate the energies of planets and to improve their health. These remedies are very basic and profound counseling and are meant to harmonize the nasty soul with the positive cosmos. Here are some commonly recommended remedies:

1. Mantras and Prayers

Reciting the particular mantras can also help in developing the weak planets. For example:

• Surya Mantra enhancement of the sun for the Sun-related problems like the problems existing in the heart.
• We also use Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra for the general well-being.

2. Gemstone Therapy

When the gemstones around the neck are ruby for the Sun or emerald for Mercury they boost and enhance the energies of the planet.

3. Fasting and Charity

Pregnant women are not supposed to view pieces of art depicting things that belong to evil spirits progressing to avoiding them in general. People should donate objects belonging to malevolent planets i.e, iron for saturn in order to diminish their effects.

4. Yoga and Ayurveda

There is specific correspondence between the material activity and the forces of the earthly sphere that contributes to well-being. For example:

• Prayer for Sun- Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) to cultivate strength in the Sun.
• Rahu balancing herbs for Rahu dosha.

5. Color Therapy

It is also suggested that putting on same coloured clothing as with benefic planets can help enhance health. For example, yellow stands for Jupiter and thus it is known that yellow benefits the liver and gives it more energy.

Modern Applications of Health Astrology

Thus, in today’s hi-tech and scientific world, health astrology holds its ground as an adjunct aid. Here’s how it can be relevant today:

1. Preventive Healthcare

Knowing the potential health risks in terms of a birth chart enables people to practice periodic medical checkups, change their diet and manage stress.

2. Holistic Wellness

In dealing with health, astrology looks at the health of an individual as a package that includes the body, emotions, and spirit.

3. Mental Health Awareness

As with the Sun, the position and aspects of the Moon can show areas of sensitivity and where an individual needs to direct his attention toward healing the mind.

4. Personalized Healing

While other diseases may be treated in more or less the same way, astrological cures are specific to the changes in your planetary chart, which tells you that they are more personalized than most.

Case Studies in Health Astrology

1. Chronic Illness

A native with Saturn in the 6th house and Rahu in 8th house had chronic arthritis problems. Following their astrologer’s advice to wear a blue sapphire and give oil massages on Saturdays helped their condition by a great deal.

2. Mental Health

An illustration concerning a weak Moon placed in the 12th house pointed at anxiety and sleeping disorders. Reciting the Chandra mantra and maintaining mindfulness meditation seemed to help to eliminate the emotional imbalances.

Challenges 

While health astrology offers profound insights, it is not without challenges:

• Failure to properly interpret planetary influence may cause a lot of fear that is otherwise unnecessary.
• It is quite clear that any information coming from astrology should be used as an addition to the medical advice.
• Remedies depend on individual belief and practices hence have different outcomes.

Conclusion

Healthism is an attempt to reach across the divide between the stellar and the corporeal particularly as it applies to preserving the health of the individual form. It thus becomes possible and easy to promote a good life by removing the negative influence of the celestial bodies on the human body. Nevertheless, a clear requirement to have an open yet rational attitude toward health is astrology as an auxiliary tool in addition to traditional medicine.

Whether one is looking for safeguards or treatment to treat the whole person and synchronize with the cosmos, health astrology holds the key.
