Medico-Astrological Science and Its Relationship with Various Disease
Introduction
Just as medical science deals with diseases and their treatments, Astrology also investigates the correlation of heavenly bodies with diseases. Even the father of modern medicines Hippocrates had made the statement “A physician without the knowledge of Astrology has no right to call him or herself a physician.” (Book by Jack. L. Turtle chapter 18- It’s a secret, so pass it on) Though this kind of statement might seem quite fanciful, a careful understanding of what Jyotish implies would lead to a much clearer perspective. In fact before the advent of modern medical science, in ancient times physicians advocated compulsory knowledge of Astrology and its relevance to various diseases apart from administering medicines on different lunar days and different stellar days. With all its modern technology and its command of medical science, many times doctors find it difficult to diagnose. Whereas astrologically, merely by casting a horoscope, with deep analysis not only the disease existing can be identified but also the disease likely to be arising in the future can also be known. Astrology goes many steps further than medical science as the disease likely to arise can be observed from the Dasha well in advance unlike medical science detecting the disease after affecting the person.
Some people believe in medical Astrology and the people who believe in this either believe is true or it’s a placebo, it’s a big concern. In the universe, all creatures are related to Aadhivyadhi, which indicates mental agony or bodily pain. Ayurveda suggested Devavyapashraya Chikitsa which includes Manidharana (use of precious and semi-precious stones) and chanting Mantras. Astrological sciences suggest ten types of remedial measures in the treatment of diseases. This system considers that causative factors of various disorders are the Navagrahas (nine planets). The influence of the planets on various procedures like drug processing, bath taking, performing Yagya, wearing Ratna, Upratna (wearing precious and semi-precious stones), watering plants, chanting Mantra, etc. are well documented in Jyotish Shastra. Medicated baths are suggested for diseases engendered due to the involvement of different planet effects. There are many plants, Ratna and Upratna, which are used for a particular disease as a medicine and also by religious priests, confirming the occurrence of the problem based upon the involvement of a particular Graha (Planets).
What is Astrological Science?
Astrology, which is popularly known as Jyotish-Shastra in Indian culture, is derived from the Greek word, Astro logia, i.e., knowledge about the stars. Simply put, astrology is the study of the Tara Gati (movement of stars), Greha Gtai (planets movement), and other celestial bodies in the Universe and how this movement of various celestial bodies can influence an individual’s life. Jyotish Shastra (Astrology) can be a powerful tool for Chikitsa (healing and transformation), and it can be a key that can unlock a greater spiritual connection to the Brahmand (universe). Although astrology is not Bhavishya varnit (fortune-telling), when skillfully applied, Jyotish Shastra (astrology) can be an extremely effective predictive tool. On a personal level, astrology can give us insight into our issues, our patterns, our Bhaya (fears), our Swapana (dreams), and Roga (our health issues). Astrology is a tool that can help us understand and unlock our highest potential and that can teach us how to live in harmony with the Universe. Jyotish Shastra, Graha, and Rashi Gyana (the study of astrology signs) is an amalgamation of scientific theories and divine practices (Daivika Chikitsa). Mathematical and geometrical interpretation of the position of planets and stars brings the application of science into the spotlight whereas the prediction of future events and occurrences based on the stars is essentially divination at work. Vedic astrology is India’s traditional system of reading the stars, the planets, and the entire movement of time. It was originally called Vedanga Jyotisha which is the limb of Veda (Vedanga).

Nirukti (Etymological Derivation) of Astrological Science (Jyotish Shastra)
ज्योतिः अधिकृत्य कृतं शास्त्रं ज्योतिष शास्त्रं इस अर्थ में ‘अण’ प्रत्यय होकर ज्योतिष बनेगा । ज्योतिः अस्ति अस्मिन्पदार्थे ‘अर्शादिभ्यो अच’इस सूत्र से ज्योतिषम् बनेगा । (नारद संहिता. विहगं दृष्टि, पृ. ९)
The meaning of the different syllables of the word Jyotish is as follows:
Ja + Ya – Water or Birth
O – And
Ta – Earth or Stars
Ish – Knowledgeable (Amarkosh)
Definition of Jyotish Shastra (Astrological Science)
Astrology is known as the Sun-Earth Planet, the Ashvanyaadi Nakshatra and the periodic science of understanding comets.
अस्य शास्त्रस्य सम्बन्धो वेदाङगमिति कथ्यते ।
अभिधेयं च जगतः शुभाशुभनिरूपणं ।। (नारद संहिताण् शस्त्रोपनयन अध्यायण् १. ५)
This Shastra is related to Vedas therefore it is also known as Vedanga. Jyotishshastra is one which helps to predict favourable and unfavourable events of the world.
Originator and Promoter of (Astrological Science) Jyotish Shastra
सूर्यः पितामहाव्यासो वसिष्ठा अत्रिः पराशरः ।
कश्यपो नारदो गर्गो मरीचिर्मनुरङ्गिराः ।।
लोमशः पौलिशश्चैव च्यवनो यवनो भृगुः ।
शौनको अष्टादशश्चैते ज्योतिः शास्त्र प्रवक्ताः।।
ब्रह्माचार्यो वशिष्ठोअत्रिर्मनुः पौलस्त्य रोमशौ ।
मरीचिरङ्गिरा व्यासो नारदः शौनको भृगुः ।।
च्यवनो यवनो गर्गः कश्यपश्च पराशरः ।
अष्टादशैते गंभीरा ज्योतिःशास्त्रप्रवक्ता ।। (नारद संहिताण् शस्त्रोपनयन अध्यायण्. १. २- ३)
Brahma, Aacharya (Surya), Vashisth, Atri, Manu, Paulstya, Romash, Marichi, Angira, Vyasa, Naarad, Shaunaka, Bhrigu, Chyavana, Garg, Kashyapa and Prashara, these 18 Aacharyas are promoters of Jyotishshastra.
According to Narada Samhita, the Sun is probably not the originator, but it is considered a master dean that is why it is called Brahmacharya.
According to Surya Siddhanta “Jyotish-Shastra” is eternal and endless.
(Surya Siddhant 1/ 10, page 8.)
History of Astrology Concerning Health and Diseases
Astrology is the oldest study that throws light on the Universe and initially was the sole medium to go into the unfathomable world of stars and planets. The mother of all divination, as it is rightly called, finds its origin in 4000 BC. Many researchers throughout the world believed that the concept of western astrology was introduced by Babylonians and Egyptians to the world. However, the oldest form of astrology finds its route from China and India.
Kinds of Astrology
The science of astrology has several facets. Worldwide different kinds of astrological studies are practiced by Jyotisha (astrologer). Here are a few of the branches of astrology which also elaborate on its different applications.
As per Vedic astrology, there are three branches:\
ज्योतिः शास्त्रमनेकभेदविततं सकन्धत्रयाधिष्ठितम् ।। (वराहमिहिर)
सिद्धान्त संहिता होरा रूपं सकन्धत्रयात्म्कम् ।। (नारद संहिता.पृ.११)
- Siddhanta (Astronomy) – Astronomical applications to the study of astrology.
- Samhita (Mundane Astrology) – This astrological study is done on political events, global occurrences, war, etc.
- Hora Skanda (Prediction Astrology) – This is the study of Astrology horoscopes and zodiac charts to predict the future, mainly related to the health issues of an individual.
The list of the branches of astrology and their application is long. However majorly, astrology is used for future prediction, diseases remedy, and mapping out the blueprint of an individual through his birth chart i.e. Kundali along with Kundali Matching for marriage.
According to Jyotish Siddhanta, a total of nine planets are mentioned. These are Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, Mars, Moon, Venus, Mercury, Rahu (north lunar node), and Ketu (south lunar node). Rahu and Ketu are considered shadow planets. In Shardulkarnavidaan of Divyaavdan in two places seven planets are mentioned. In that description, two planets i.e sun and moon are known as Maha Greha. The seven planets mentioned in this book are Shukra, Brihaspati, Shani, Budha, Angaaraka, Surya, and Taaradhipati.
तद्यदा शुक्रो बृहस्पतिः शनैश्चरो बुधोअङगारकः सुर्यस्ताराधिपतिश्चेति । (दिव्या. ३३, पृ. ३३६)
Here Angaaraka is known as Mangal and Taaradhipati is synonym of moon. From above planet Brihaspati is mentioned as a permanent planet whereas Shani, Mangal, Budha and Shukra are mentioned as mandalachari i.e moving planet.
क्षीणेन्द्वर्का र्किभूपुत्राः पापभ्यां संयुतोबुधः ।
पूर्णचन्द्रबुधाचार्याशुक्रास्ते स्युः शुभग्रहाः ।। (नारद संहिताण् सर्वलगन अध्यायण् १४. १४)
Ksheen-Chandra (Halfmoon), surya (Sun), Shani (Saturn) and Mangal (Mars), Paapyut Budha (Mercury) are considered as sinful planet and Purana Chandrama (Full Moon), Budh (Mercury), Shukra (Venus), Brihaspati (Jupitor) are auspiciousness planet.
पुंग्रहाः सूर्यभौमार्याः स्त्री ग्रहौ शशिभार्गवौ ।
नपुंसकौ सौम्यसौरि शिरोमात्रं विधुंतुदः ।। (नारद संहिताण् आधनाध्यायण् १६.५)
Sun, Mars, Jupitor are male sign planets whereas Moon, Venus are female sign planets. Mercury, Saturn and the head of Rahu are Napunsaka or hermaphrodite planets. These 9 planets are masters of 12 zodiacs and have their effect on these zodiacs.

Houses in Kundali (Blueprints of the Individual) and their Relationship with Body Parts and Diseases:
There are 12 houses in Janam Kundali. Nine planets move in 12 houses mentioned in Janam Kundali.
12 houses denote particular organs of the human body.
शीर्षाननौ तथा बाहु हृत्क्रोडकटिबस्तयः ।
गुह्योरुयुगलो जानुयुगले जन्घके तथा ।।
चरणो द्वौ तथा लग्नात् ज्ञेयाः शीर्षदयः क्रमात् । (लोमश संहिता. ६. ३- ४)
(The original Lomash Samhita -1 translated by Vineet Kumar, India copies editor, Chander Shekhar Sharma)
The Head, face, two hands, heart, chest, hip, abdomen, private parts, two thighs, two knees, two ankles, and two feet are the limbs signified in sequence by the twelve houses beginning with the ascendant.
The 7th house in Kundali is known as Stri-Sthana and represents the urinary tract and digestive system.
The 8th house is the death house or Mrityu Sthana and represents diseases related to the reproductive system.
The first place in Kundali is for the head, 6th place is for health and the eighth place is for death. When the planet moves on these Kundali places give well-being and misfortune to a particular individual. Due to the effect of these planets Vaat, Pitta, and Kapha increase or decrease. (M.Su.S. 2-15/66 Mahayana Sutra Samgreha, Manjushrimulkalpa 55 Sutrasamgreha, P.L.Vaidya. Mithila Vidyapeeth, Darbhanga, 1964.)
Effect of Planets on Different Body Parts
दुस्थानेपननातिविलग्ननाथे युतेर्विलग्नेसतिरोग्भाक्स्यात् ।
पापेविलग्ने बलैर्विहीनेलग्नेश्वराः रोगनिपीड़ितस्यात् ।।
(बृहत्पराशरहोराशास्त्रं, षष्ठभाव फलाध्याय, श्लोक ९)
If the lord of Lagna occupies bad houses (6-8-12) and if bad Lords occupy Lagana the native will suffer diseases. If malefic planets are in Lagna and the Lagan Adhipati is devoid of strength then also the native will suffer from diseases.
तत्तत् ग्रहादिष्ठितराशिनाथोदुस्थैर्विलग्नादिविनाशमाहुः । (बृहत्पराशरहोराशास्त्रं,षष्ठभावफलाध्याय, श्लोक १० )
If the lord of any Bhava occupies a house and if the lord of that house is in 6-8-12 Bhava, then the particular Bhava will be in great danger. This rule is very useful in medical astrology to detect diseases in various parts of the body.
Diseases Due to Combination of Planets in 12 Houses:
लग्ने षष्ठाष्टमादीशौरविणा यदिसंस्थितौ ।
ज्वरगंडकुजेग्रंथिः शस्त्रव्रणमतापिवा ।
बुधेनपित्तं गुरुणा रोगाभावं वनिर्देशेत ।
गण्डश्चण्डालकोनाभातम् केत्वोग्र्रहेभयम् ।
चन्द्रेणगण्डसलिलेः कफ श्लेषमादिनाभवेत् केत्वोग्रेहेभयम् ।
एवं पित्रादिभवानांतत्कारकयोगतःगण्डेतेषाम् भवेदेवमूहमत्र मनीषिभिः । (बृहत्पराशरहोराशास्त्रं, षष्ठभाव फलाध्याय, श्लोक १०- १२. ५)
If the 6th and 8th Lord is in ascendant conjoins with the Sun the native will suffer from fever, with Mars appendicitis and surgery, with Mercury Bilious diseases, with Saturn diseases of Umbilicus, with Venus gynecological disorders, with Ketu fear from a household person, with Moon danger from water and Phlegmatic diseases.
In this way, one can determine the diseases related to various planets, Zodiac signs associated with them by examining the companionship of planets.
Ayurveda and Astrology Relation
As per Ayurvedic classical texts, the Mula Karana (root cause) of diseases and body development is Aahara (food). In Jyotish Shashtra the body parts are mentioned as Anga Pratyanga and the fetus that is developed inside the mother’s womb is a result of the nutrition of Matra (mother) from the taste. In Jyotish Shastra, based on Rasa, the Mahabhuta, the planet involved in them, and the effect on Planets and Dosha Kshya and Vriddhi are mentioned. This is how the planet and taste involved in a particular person’s horoscope makes us understand the food habits and taste of that particular individual and talks about the forthcoming diseases.

Comparative Relationship of Prakriti (Characters) Given in Ayurveda with Rashi (Zodiac Sign) Characters of Person Given by Planet Involved as per Brighu Samhita
- Prakriti is the unique concept of Ayurveda which makes us understand the character and nature of the person that vary from person to person. Just like the DNA fingerprint of every person is different in the same way prakriti of each individual is different as per Ayurveda. Due to the different prakriti of individuals, each individual has different psychological and physiological characteristics. This Prakriti of the individual is formed by the sanyoga of Shukra and Shonita of the individual.
- In the same way, the Kundali of the individual is fixed at their birth and according to the positions of the planet, Rashi (Zodiac sign) the psychological, and physiological characteristics of the individual are fixed, and that varies from person to person.
- Deha Prakriti which is mentioned in classical literature of Ayurveda i.e Charaka Samhita is very similar to the Rashi characters as per the position of the planet given in Bhringu Samhita.
