Not many people realize that our health can be tracked in the stars! Each of the planets and the signs has particular areas of the body that they influence through their ruler ship. Aries Rules the Head, Taurus Rules the Throat, Gemini Rules the Breath, Cancer Rules the Breasts, Leo Rules the Heart, Virgo Rules the Abdomen, Libra Rules the Kidneys, Scorpio Rules the Secret Parts, Sagittarius Rules the Hips, Capricorn Rules the Knees, Aquarius Rules the Ankles and Pisces Rules the Feet. Let me briefly explain the notes of Atharva Veda on this subject.
Aries Rules the Head. The head, taken as a whole, is ruled by Aries. The signs have an internal, external and structural relationship. Internally, Aries rules the brain and nerve centers, carotid arteries; externally the cranium, jaw and facial bones. Externally, the ruler ships are more complicated and other parts of the head and face are ruled by Taurus and Scorpio and all of the planets rule various other parts. For example, the Sun rules the right eye in the male, the left eye in the female, while the Moon rules the left eye in the male and right eye in the female. Aries is subject to all kinds of head complaints such as sinusitis, headaches, tooth and gum afflictions, baldness and are prone to accident or injuries to the head and face. As a sign of this celestial association, many Aries individuals are born with a birth mark on their head or face.
Taurus Rules the Throat Each sign has external, internal and structural relationships. Externally, Taurus rules the throat, neck, ears and lower jaw. Internally, it rules the thyroid gland, pharynx, larynx, jugular vein, tonsils, Eustachian tubes, cervical ganglia and carotid arteries. Structurally, it rules the occipital, cervical vertebrae, lower jaw and teeth, chin and palate. The pathological tendencies of this sign are stroke, croup, tonsillitis, lymphatic stasis of the neck and head and laryngitis. Vulnerable parts of the body are the neck, throat, shoulders and upper torso. Stiff necks, sore throats and earaches are common Taurean complaints. Taurus rules the throat, giving a powerful, often beautiful voice. The influence of Venus opens up a world of musical talent and appreciation, so Taureans are good singers and musicians, or at least, love music and can be a force on the business side of music.
Gemini Rules the Breath Each sign of the zodiac has external, internal and structural ruler ship. Externally, Gemini rules the shoulders and upper arms. Internally, Gemini rules the breath, nerve fibers, thymus gland, lungs, trachea and bronchi. Structurally, Gemini rules the clavicle, scapula and humerus. This double sign portends the native suffering from two diseases at the same time. The pathological action of this sign is nervousness, negativity, passivity, or even restlessness. Tuberculosis, asthma and anemia are common to the nativity. Vulnerable parts of the body are the arms, hands, fingers, lungs and nervous system, especially the sense of hearing. Respiratory problems and various nervous conditions are common to the people of Gemini. Gemini's complaints are benefited with the orange rays. Gemini is traditionally considered a barren sign.
Cancer Rules the Breasts The crab is Cancer's astrological symbol, so, when threatened, people with Cancer prominent in their chart tend to armor themselves by withdrawing into solitude. When upset, they use food as consolation, which in turn, results in obesity and food allergies. The Sun in Cancer reflects a weakened physical constitution. Externally, it rules the breasts, epigastria region and the elbows. Internally, it rules the stomach, digestive organs, upper lobe of the liver, thoracic duct, pancreas, blood serum and womb. The entire act of digestion with peristalsis is ruled by Cancer. Indigestion, stomach ulcer, flatulence, jaundice, liver torpidity and mammary affections are common. Be on guard against lymphatic stasis. Structurally, Cancer rules the maxillae, bladder, blood serum and albumen. People with Cancer active in their charts are subject to coughs, indigestion, gas, gallstones, general problems with stomach, liver and intestines, plus emotional disorders such as depression, hypochondria and hysteria.
Leo Rules the Heart Leo represents the heart of the physical system, a fire sign that heats the body and can lead to a loss of equilibrium between body and mind. Internally, Leo rules the heart, spinal cord, liver metabolism, spleen, pulmonary arteries and aorta, superior and inferior vena cava. Externally, the Lion governs the back and forearm, while structurally, the twelve dorsal vertebrae. The diseases of Leo predominately involve the heart, most seriously occlusion of cardiac arteries by blood clot or occlusion bringing on a heart attack. Nervous tension can affect the heart with palpitations and the like. The fire of Leo tends to fevers, especially heart-related issues such as peri carditis and rheumatic heart disease and is linked to jaundice and eye problems. Leo, though fond of children, is traditionally a barren sign.
Virgo Rules the Abdomen Internally, Virgo rules the abdominal region, large and small intestines, spleen, solar plexus, lower lobes of the liver, pancreas, portal veins and has some influence on the generative organs. Externally, it rules the umbilicus, hands and nails. Structurally, it rules the carpal bones. Health conscious Virgo makes an effort to stay physically fit and Virgo people don't mind repetitive exercise routines, if they can see achievable outcomes. They enjoy tennis, racquetball, swimming, sailing, fishing, and biking, even though athletically they are not overly competitive. It's just that they always seek to perfect whatever skills they may have, primarily for the sake of doing a thing well. Talented in various crafts, dressmaking and designing, Virgo may also take a particular interest in such things as cartography, travel, and philately. Virgo rules the sinuses, respiratory system and bowels. Colds, flu, allergies, problems with intestines and constipation are common Virgoan complaints. Black moods and despondency from time to time can adversely affect others in the vicinity. Traditionally, Virgo is a barren sign.
Libra Rules the Kidneys As each sign rules structural, external and internal relationships, Libra rules the excretory functions through the kidneys and skin. Externally it rules the lumbar region, buttocks, adrenals and vasomotor system. Structurally, the sign rules the lumbar vertebrae. The pathological tendencies of this sign are lumbago, kidney disease, uraemia, polyuria, renal calculi and oedema. Libra rules the kidneys, lower back and ovaries. Lower back pain, and problems caused by too much sugar or rich food are common complaints. Librans are also subject to interminable hovering between alternatives, or inability to make firm decisions, especially under pressure, when they can be pushed by others into taking steps they may later regret.
Scorpio Rules the Secret Parts Each sign has an external, internal and structural ruler ship. Externally, Scorpio rules the nose and nasal bones, the pubic area and genital organs. Internally, it rules the gonads, hemoglobin, bladder, prostate, descending colon, sigmoid flexure and rectum. It has nfluence over the vocal cords and larynx. Structurally it rules the pubic bones, coccyx and nasal bones. This sign also influences the thymus and thyroid glands, liver, uterus, menstruation, sweat glands and the endocrine glands in general. Scorpio rules the reproductive organs and excretory system, so those with Scorpio active in their charts suffer headaches, infections and fevers, along with various illnesses to do with what used to be called the secret parts. Scorpio people however have a strong constitution and can usually overcome their problems, many of which are of their own making, due to their clandestine activities.
Sagittarius Rules the Hips Externally, Sagittarius rules the region around the hips, gluteal muscles, thighs and has considerable influence over the muscles in general. Internally, it has ruler ship of the sciatic nerve, iliac arteries and veins and considerable influence on the liver, lungs and motor nerves. Structurally, it rules the four coccygeal vertebrae, sacral bones and femur. The diseases of Sagittarius particularly involve the hips and thighs. Injury to these areas is common, especially if horse-riding is involved. The pain of sciatica has long been associated with this sign. The expansive, pleasure loving influence of Jupiter inclines to the excessive consumption of rich food and drink, sometimes leading to arthritic pains in the hips. Since Sagittarius is a fire sign, the tendency to feverish complaints is also marked.
Capricorn Rules the Knees Externally, Capricorn rules the joints (especially the knees), hair, teeth and skin; internally, the mucous membranes, the peripheral nerves and portions of the stomach. Structurally, it rules the skeleton, bones and patella. The planet Lord Sun is weak in this sign, but Capricorn does tend towards longevity unless afflicted by the planets Moon or Saturn. Many diseases result from business anxieties. The accidents from this sign are broken bones, sprains, dislocations and hurts from the knees and below. Sensitive skin, allergies, and broken bones are problems, while worrying too much can also result in physical disorders. Capricorn suffers from insecurity and anxiety in youth, but blossoms under Saturn in the later years. Capricorn people do not readily yield to disease, but once sick they hold onto the symptoms and can become hypochondriacs. Worry and anguish can also result in health problems like heart attacks if they are not careful to relieve their stress with proper exercise. The pathological tendencies are crystallization, dryness and constriction. Routine massage and foot reflexology can be of considerable benefit.
Aquarius Rules the Ankles Externally this sign rules the calves, tibia and ankles. Internally, Sun in Aquarius rules the circulation, breath and eyesight; structurally, the bones of the lower limbs. It is closely associated with the blood and circulation, with a tendency toward impure blood. The pathological action of Aquarius is towards nervousness, gloom and sensitivity leading to habits and fixed ideas that make disease persist and linger. Aquarians are prone to varicose veins, hypertension and heart problems. Aquarius rules shins, ankles, and the circulatory system, while cramps, allergies, sudden illness and freak accidents are common for those with Aquarius active in their charts. They may also suffer from various nervous disorders.
If you go to yoga class, the
teacher may speak of moving kundalini energy up your spine. That is technically incorrect, but it's a
good way to think of it. On the following picture you can see the medical
symbol (called "caduceus") is made in the image and likeness of the
sushumna nadi - and the snakes' seven crossing points are chakras. Both of these things are analogous to the
spine, and they run along the spine, but they are not the spine. In fact, most technically, kundalini does not
rise up through the sushumna, because there are other nadis sleeved inside of
it. In the interest of time, space and
simplicity, we are leaving out some of that stuff here. If you want to know more, read my book!
There are a few other things
to mention. We have hundreds of chakras
- chakrettes and chakritas and so on - but only six of them are along the
sushumna, with a seventh just above.
There are two other nadis - called the ida and the pingala that wrap
around the sushumna. You can see them on
the right, but they are easier to see on the caduceus - they are the
snakes. We have upwards of 72,000 nadis
in us.Have you ever been in a chemistry lab and seen the distillation
process? This is a good way to think of
kundalini (or kundalini sakti).
Kundalini is made to steam up the sushumna and and condense its way back
down again, over and over is a process of continuous refinement, purification
and evolution. But kundalini does not
flow up most peoples' sushumna nadis at all, because its flow is crimped off by
these things called chakras. It is
noteworthy that most peoples' so-called "kundalini risings" are
actually various forms of nervous breakdowns, quirks, needs-for-attention,
fabrications, hysteria episodes and so on.
As previously mentioned Lord Sun is the king
or group leader of the planets. If he sits along with Lord Mercury, it is
called as Nipuna Yogam. This is one of the best yogams to get. If anybody has
this yogam in the horoscope, it is definite that the person will be a graduate.
If the previously mentioned two planets combine with Lord Saturn, there are two
chances of this yogam. One, the person will be holding multiple degrees and the
other; the person will not even complete his high school. Why these kind of
change in the combination of the same planets? Saturn is enemy to Sun. If the
Sun sits in his own house or sits in exalted position, his power will be more.
If Sun sits in the enemies’ house or in a debilitated position, he is
powerless. However, the planets combined with him will be more powerful. than
him. Therefore, the result will be opposite.
Many parents will be much worried to see their kids in a poor condition
of studies. In this situation, they have to consult a Vedic Astrologer to
analyze the problems. The Vedic Astrologer uses the horoscope as a tool and
finds out the reasons for the problems. He uses the “Thantras” to alter the
evil benefits to good benefits. The prayer to the Atharva Yaksha and Yakshini
devathas are called as rituals. By performing the rituals in a proper way, we
can have the best results
Athi Yogam
If Guru (Jupiter), Budhan (Mercury) and Sukran (Venus) are positioned in
the sixth, seventh & eighth houses from Chandra, either separately or together,
it is called Athi Yogam. Persons with this Yogam will hold high
positions in Government, Police or Armed Forces. This will also give
a lot of wealth, fame and recognition in the society. {The same principles
will apply to Lagna and to the Rasi (the position of Moon)}
Ashta Lakshmi Yogam
If Raahu is positioned in the 6th place from Lagna while Guru is positioned in
1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house; it is called Ashta Lakshmi Yogam. Life
will be filled with all kind of wealth, pleasures and happiness.
Vipareetha Raja Yogam
If the Lords of the 6th, 8th and 12th houses are positioned either together or
independently in the 6th, 8th or 12th houses, it is called Vipareetha
Rajayogam. Even if the incumbent is poor, he / she shall
become rich in an unexpected moment.
Neecha Banga Rajayogam
If a Graha is debilitated in a house and if the Lord Graha of the
house where it debilitated is in his own ruling house or in its exalted
house, it is called Neecha Banga Rajayogam. In such a condition, the
Neecha Graha will render all the benefits and comforts by virtue of
its Raajayogam
Dharma Karmathipathy Yogam
If the Lord Grahas of 9th and 10th houses are in parivarthana, or associated in
the same house or aspects each other; it is called Dharma Karmathipathy
Yogam. This will render fame and riches.
Rusaka Yogam
If Sevvai (Angarakan - Mars) is positioned in first, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th or 10th
house and if the house he is positioned is his ruling house or exalted
house, it is called
Rusaka Yogam. This will render might, victory against enemies, wealth,
fame etc.
Bathra Yogam
If Budhan (Mercury) is in his ruling or exalted houses and if that house is
the Kendra Sthanam to Lagna or Chandran, it is called Bathra Yogam. This will
render eloquence, wealth and riches, dignified appearance etc.
Vesi Yogam
if there is any Graha in the second house to Sooriyan, except Chandran, Raahu
and Kethu, it is called Vesi Yogam. This will render riches and victories.
If the same is in the horoscope of a female it is sure that, the woman will
have sexual relationship more than one male. Therefore, it is not good for a
female to have this yogam in the horoscope.
Sagada Yogam
If Guru is positioned in the 8th or 12th place from Chandran, it is called
Sagada Yogam. This yogam will render instability, sufferings and uncertainty
in the livelihood. Sufferings will almost be a part of life to the
incumbent.
Khemathuruma Yogam
if there is no Graha in the 12th and 2nd houses to Chandran, it is called Khemathuruma
Yogam. This will render all sufferings and strains in life and make
life a miserable experience.
