3.1) INPUT :
Suggests the basic data required for medical astrology
Accuracy of input data is very essential, mostly people are not sure about
there exact time of birth, and that is to be checked and corrected by applying
suitable birth time correction method.
Careful examination of palm and condition of nails can tell much about
physical state of health of a native. Few marks on palm indicate the type of
disease native will suffer in future. The biggest advantage of palmistry is that it is
free from birth time correction
3.2) PROCESS

by machining the known events like date and time of marriage with TP
analysis of that year and making correction.
If not sure about date and time both use Nasta Jataka Paddhati to
calculate date and time, it is a very powerful tool to make correction

d)
e)
Palmistry has a major role in prevention of diseases. With its help and
knowledge, a doctor can easily recognize the weakness of the system
and advise the patient all relevant nutritional changes to prevent the
disease from becoming severe.
i) Nija (Self)
This type of disease can again be classified into two broad areas. First the
physical type, namely relating to the physical body or the shareera. The eighth
house and the eighth lord of the natal horoscope govern these. Second are the
diseases affecting the mind or the chitta. These falls under the purview of the fifth
house and its lord, Moon and the eighth house and lord of the natal chart.
ii) Agantuka (Acquired)
This type of disease can also be categorised further into two broad areas. First
the drishta, or that which is visible and due to known causes. The sixth house
and lord and the shadripu are responsible here. Next is the adrishta, or the
invisible and ostensibly caused due to unknown reasons. Problems related to evil
spirits and like would also fall here. The badhak house and lord take charge here.

Problems in any particular system in the human body are likely to be caused by
the planet inimical to the ruler of that system. The effect of Saturn, for instance, is
virtually non-existent at birth and progressively goes on increasing with age. As a
result any bone injury in early years tends to heal immediately while a similar
injury in old age may prove stubborn and not heal at all sometimes. Jupiter is the
naisargika karaka for growth. Cancer is unchecked growth of toxic cells in the
human body. It is indicative of Jupiter having become malefic and having
withdrawn its benign protection.
According to Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, there are three
basic humours that need to be in balance for the maintenance of health. Any
imbalance in these three humours leads to bodily illness. The technical terms for
the three are Vaata, Pitta and Kapha. The closest but inadequate translation
would be wind, bile and phlegm respectively. Accordingly the Vaata element
produces windy complaints, neurological disorders, joint pains etc. The Pitta is
concerned with heat, inflammations, fever, liver and gall bladder problems etc.
The Kapha element concerns with most of respiratory ailments, colds, asthma
etc.
Any mental level disease caused due to any one of the three humors can be
cured with relative ease. On the other hand such a mental disease resulting out
of a combination of two or more of the three humors cannot be addressed that
easily and is known as sannipatta.
3.2.6) Analysis of Rashi and Divisional Charts for disease and remedies
Vedic Astrology suggests two different methods which can be used for native
question regarding health
i) By using Natal chart : Vedic astrology suggest lot of tools for Natal chart
analysis few important techniques are discussed here
ii ) By Prashna Maraga
It is a very powerful tool of answering to query by casting a honorary chart
of that time. By Use of Trisphuta Rashi, Nakshatra and considering other rule
answer of query regarding disease can be answered accurately
a)
i) Knowledge of death, disease and illness is known from the conception time,
birth and janma nakatra. If the disease starts from these nakatra (ie.
Conception or natal moon star) then the danger of death should not be ruled out.
Based on the Moon at the moment of start of a disease, the period of suffering
can be ordained.
Remedy: The worship of the nakatra devat as the remedy for cure. If the
exact date/time of the star can be ascertained then the diety of the nakatra
should be propitiated
.
ii) 6th, 8th and 11th houses are important when we are looking at deceases. 11th
is 6th from 6th also called Hara Sthana not an auspicious
If any planet is connecting a dusthana with the ASC it brings disease to the
person - 8th lord in ASC or 8th lord aspecting ASC.
.iii) 8th house stands for troubles, tensions, sudden changes and even death. If
Rahu in 8th house, its bad, means cheating and when Rahu is involved, it shows
sudden shock. Dusthana Mrityu sthana. Sa in 8th house will show sadness. Ra
in 8th is not good for health overall.
iv) Badhakasthana shows troubles for no logical reason. For movable (Chara)
rasis, it is 11th house. For fixed (Sthira) rasis, it is 9th house. For dual signs, it is
7th house. Troubles indicated by Badhakasthana cannot be diagnosed and there
can be no cure
v) The lord of the 22nd Deshkarna is the Khresa and can cause Bdhaka
effects i.e. can cause obstructions and activate the Bdhakesa and other
evils. Dasa of lord of khara can cause problems during its dasa.
vi) Trisphuta rashi, Nakshatra, Navansha, are to be carefully analysed in both
natal and pranshna marga analysis.
vi) Karaka for physical vitality is Su. Su, Mo affliction with Ra or Ke in D6 is bad.
It gives physical or mental troubles and Su will represent digestive system and
stomach. In this case propitiate Su to strengthen him to fight Ra or Ke.
vii) Use aruda and argalas for disease analysis. A6 is also called roga pada
c). A Saturn placed in such a place is not good as it delays the recovery from
diseases, makes the effect of the mantra nil due to mistakes or "NOT
WORSHIPPING GANESHJI" before starting a mantra can render it useless
unless Guru is very strong. In this manner study the houses with focus on the 8th
house (ROGA: Diseases & RINA Debts) and the 6th house (SHAD RIPU: Six
kinds of weaknesses). In this manner the houses should be studied.
d). The 9th house (Dharma) from the 8th house is the 4th house. Thus,
happiness and laughter (ruled by the 4th house) are the best natural medicine to
get out of the cycle of disease and debt.
e) A clean heart is the key to happiness & laughter. Venus (fulfilment of desires)
gives happiness & Mercury gives laughter. Moon is the natural significator for the
4th house and becomes the Controlling planet for good health and freedom from
diseases.
In
this
manner
the
planets
should
be
studied.
f) . The Arudha pada of the sixth house gives the body part that shall be afflicted
due to the diseases.
g). Venus rules the Mritunjaya Mantra and the strength of Venus in this division is
important for recovery from diseases. The Sun and the Moon represent the Atma
(Soul) and the Mana (Mind) respectively. Affliction to the Sun will result in
suffering, poverty and misery while affliction to the Moon will cause ill health and
death. Since Mars and Venus rules the signs of exaltation of the Sun and Moon,
they represent the Physical and Mental strength of the native to cope with
distress, disease and other evils respectively.
i)
The death of the native can be studied form the Rasi and Trimsamsa
whereas that of other relatives are to be seen from the other divisional charts.
Parasara explains these as Drekkana (D-3) for co-born, Saptamsa (D-7) for
children, Navamsa (D-9) for spouse, Dasamsa (D-10) for those related in the
profession, Dwadasamsa (D-12) for Parents and elders, Vimsamsa (D-20) for
Gurus and Sisya (Upasana), Chaturvimsamsa (D-24) for teachers and students
(Siddhi) and so on.
ii) Calculation of longevity should be done as per traditional tools. Separate
Vimsottari
dasas can be calculated from the fifth, fourth and eighth
constellation from Janma Nakshatra . These are called Utpanna dasa (5th Star),
Kshema dasa (4th Star) and Adhana dasa (8th Star). Compare the ending dates
of dasas under this to that of Janma Vimsottari . If the ending dates are close,
then it can spell the end of life.
iii) Balarishtha refers to infantile death (0 to 12 years). If this is destined, then
the Janma dasa itself can cause death
Yogarishtha refers to teenage death around 12 to 20 years age. If this is
destined, then the Vipat or third dasa can cause death
Alpa Ayus indicates premature death within 36 years. If a few other life
determining factors are strong, then this can be within 40 years.
[Madhya Ayus refers to middle life where the longevity is from 36 to 72 years.
Another classification is 40 to 80 years.
Poorna Ayus or full life refers to the longevity in the range of 72 to 108 years.
Another classification is 80 to 120 years.
OUTPUT
the planet causing the yoga. For example, if 8th lord Moon is involved in
Vipareeta Raja yoga, by its debilitation in the 12th house, the native might enjoy
rise in life, but the Mother (natural signification of Moon) and the marriage (8th
house is the longevity of marriage) might suffer simultaneously. To enjoy the
fruits of Vipareeta Raja yoga, the native must not strengthen such debilitated
planets that confer the yoga.
v) Flawed Gemstone
A genuine gemstone of good quality should never be used with an imperfect or
flawed gem or with one that is astrologically incompatible with it. Suta Goswami
(Garuda Purana) advises not to wear a gem that is of inferior quality or
incompatible even if it is set together with the divine Kausthuba Mani of Vishnu.
Just as the best of saints lose their merits by bad company, similarly, an
imperfect/inferior or incompatible gemstone can ruin the beneficence of other
good gems.
vi) Gemstone and Lagna Lord
For determining compatibility of gemstones most astrologers go by the
Naisargika Sambandha (natural relationship) of other planets with the stone of
the principal/ruling planet. The Ruling Planet is the strongest one in trines to the
Lagna or in the seventh house (1,5,7 & 9 houses), and if none are there, then the
Lagna lord is chosen. Thus if the ruling planet is the Moon, then all planets are
compatible with it, but if it is the Sun, then only Jupiter, Mars & Moon are
compatible and their stones can be chosen.
Since the Lagna is the controller of the Horoscope, the impact of the Gemstone
ultimately falls on the Lagna (more so, since Lagna is the controller of the
physical body, where the gemstone is worn). The planets, whose gemstone is
worn, should be a friend to the Lagna lord as per the naisargika sambandha. If
any planet is inimical to the lord of Lagna, the use of its gemstone can damage /
endanger the concerned people related to the house owned by the planet. For
example if the lord of the fifth house is inimical to the Lagna lord, then the use of
a gemstone of the fifth lord can endanger the life children. Hence utmost caution
should be used in prescribing gemstones.
vii) Naisargika Sambandha of Planets
controlled by the Akasha Tattva of the Thumb. Normally for people who are
spiritual / worship their Guru, gemstones should not be used in this finger. Some
astrologers prescribe Ruby / Yellow Sapphire for Power / Wealth respectively, for
use in the index finger. However these gemstones have been found to give better
results of stable power and gradual stable growth in finance in the ring finger.
Tatwa in Palmistry
1. If a planet is placed in or aspecting the 12th from the Arudha Lagna, the
gemstone for such planet can increase the expenditure of the native. Malefics
are well placed here as it confer rajayoga while placed here in addition to the
expenses shown. However one must remember that planets placed here shows
the persons who would secretly oppose the native in various activities. So the
gemstones of such planets to be chosen after careful consideration of all factors
involved.
2. The gemstone of a planet placed in or aspecting the 11th from Arudha Lagna
shall give income from the sources indicated by the planet. The sources can be
known by judging both the functional as well as natural significations of the
concerned planet.
3. The 2nd and 7th house from the Arudha Lagna are the houses of sustainance
of the Image. They should be occupied by benefics or exalted planets. If they are
occupied by malefics, the gemstones of such planets can cause fall of image and
troubles in career and various other troubles. In addition the planets in the 7th
from Arudha lagna shows the persons who would openly oppose the person in
various activities, and this is more true with respect to the Malefics. Thus if
benefics are placed in the 7th from the Arudha Lagna, their gemstones can be
given, provided the native can withstand the opposition shown by the concerned
planet.
4. The planets in the Arudha Lagna shows how the world perceives the native.
The presence of Moon or Jupiter in the Arudha Lagna gives long lasting fame.
They should otherwise be placed with benefics or exalted planets and gemstones
of such Moon, Jupiter, benefics or exalted planets can be beneficial to the native,
otherwise it can be harmful.
Similarly the lord of the Arudha Lagna should ideally be well placed in either
exaltation, mulatrikona, own house or friends house. If gemstone of such planets
is worn, it would benefit the native by uplifting his image. If such planet is in fall or
unfavourably placed, then the gemstone of the planet, countering the evil has to
be worn (please refer to relevant section for more information on this)
5. Malefics in the 3rd or 6th gives material success whereas benefics in these
places makes the person spiritual, unless they are debilitated. Thus wearing the
gemstones of the malefics placed in 3rd or 6th can help in fulfilment of objectives
and gaining over all odds. However, malefics in the 3rd from AL can be
detrimental to the health and longevity, thus while prescribing the gemstones,
one need to consider this factor as well.
6. The eighth house is also very crucial in a way that it controls the longevity of
the person. Malefics placed over there can harm the health of the person and
also the image. Stones of such malefics placed there should never be worn.
7. All planets either be benefics or malefics give good results and financial gains
while placed in the 9th house from the arudha Lagna. Unless any other adverse
yogas exist, gemstone of such planet would be beneficial to the native.
8. 10th house shows the impact of a planet in the native's career. Benefics are
best suited here and malefics are prohibited. For example, if Saturn is placed in
such 10th, then the career becomes a bed of thorne for the native.
b ) use of Gemstone for Diesease
In ancient Vedic texts, like the Brihat Samhita, the origin and healing powers of
various gems are discussed. Persons may use substitute stones instead of the
more expensive gems. Red garnet can replace ruby; moonstone can replace
pearl; jade, peridot, or green tourmaline can replace emerald; and yellow topaz
or citrine can replace yellow sapphire.

4.1.2) Using Mani (Gems ) in Bhasma (Ash) and Pisti (Powder) Form.
Ayurveda and to some extent Unani (both Indian branches of science using
natural curative methods) lay great emphasis on the use gem stones in medicinal
preparations. They are used both as ashes (bhasma) as well as in powder
(pishti) form for treatment of critical ailments.
The procedures for preparing these medicines are time-consuming and
complicated. All medication however, should be under strict supervision and
advice of a qualified Ayurvedic or Unani physician. Few examples are given for
reference.
xii) Opal : Rucbya ishdusbno jwarapaha translates as ''the opal improves the
taste, somewhat hot, and helps cure fevers."
xiii) Pearl : A good pearl ( not pierced ) triturated in rose or kewra water, made
into paste, dried and taken orally, is very beneficial for diseases caused by
calcium deficiency. The ashes provide relief to body heat, are good for the eyes
and cure tuberculosis, chronic fevers, cough, breathing problems, palpitation,
high blood pressure, heart ailments, exhaustion and weaknesses.
xiv) Garnet : Has the same properties as the ruby but is not effective. The
bhasma stops bleeding and melts stones in the kidney, urinary bladder and gall
bladder.
xv) Ruby : Used both in ash and powder form, it is said to produce more blood
and improve circulation. cures problems caused by excess wind and disorders of
the stomach, prolong life. The bhasma has the ability to suppress wind, bile and
phlegm in the body, give relief in tuberculosis colic pain, eye diseases, leprosy
and impotency. The ashes also relieve excessive heat and burning sensations.
xvi) Tourmaline : Acts like that diamond for the cure of jaundice, disorders of the
stomach, fever, breathing troubles and diabetes. it is also believed to help
strength the mind .
xvii) White sapphire : Triturated in rose or kewra water, the paste is dried and
used to relieve nausea, wind problems, phlegm, stomach disorders, indigestion,
leprosy and piles.
Some Reservation about Wearing Gems
For remedial measures the best and Satwik approach is to pray to the various
deities. Wearing gems as a remedial measure is a Rajasik approach.
.
5)Conclusions
