Leprosy Leucoderma , and Vitiligo and astrology
If Mercury be the lord of the
Ascendant or Lagna
(Gemini or Virgo Ascendant), he
becomes an absolute
representative of the skin. The reason
is that the Lagna
as a whole represents the body of the
native. Therefore
Mercury as lord of the Lagna will
represent the whole
body and the skin. He will not so
absolute
representative of skin if he is lord
of any other house.
Similarly if the Moon be lord of the
Lagna (Cancer
Ascendant) the Moon w i l l be an
absolute
representative or significator of
blood. If such
Mercury (as lord of the Ascendant) and
the Moon or
the Moon (lord of the Ascendant) and
Mercury fall
under the malefic influences of Saturn
and Rahu by
aspect or conjunction, the
significations skin and
blood will be very adversely affected
by the long
lasting (chronic) and filthy influence
of Saturn and
Rahu and the affections of skin and
contamination of
blood will cause the native to suffer
from leprosy.
This view is supported by 'Sarvartha
Chintamani: -
This means that if the Moon, Mercury
and lord of
the Lagna be associated with Rahu or
Ketu, the sages
say that such a Yoga causes leprosy.
According to Sarvartha Chintamani it
is essential for
lord of the Lagna to be associated in
this Yoga because
in the Yoga for any disease lord of
the Lagna establishes
contact of the disease with the whole
body
