Down Syndrome

Also called: Trisomy 21 ---

Down syndrome astrology.

Down syndrome is a condition in which a person is born with an extra copy of chromosome 21. People with Down syndrome can have physical problems, as well as intellectual disabilities. Every person born with Down syndrome is different.

People with the syndrome may also have other health problems. They may be born with heart disease. They may have dementia. They may have hearing problems and problems with the intestines, eyes, thyroid, and skeleton.

The chance of having a baby with Down syndrome increases as a woman gets older. Down syndrome cannot be cured. Early treatment programs can help improve skills. They may include speech, physical, occupational, and/or educational therapy. With support and treatment, many people with Down syndrome live happy, productive lives

What are the chromosome basics of Down syndrome?

Genes on an extra copy of chromosome 21 are responsible for all characteristics associated with Down syndrome. Normally, each human cell contains 23 pairs of different chromosomes. Each chromosome carries genes, which are needed for proper development and maintenance of our bodies. At conception, an individual inherits 23 chromosomes from the mother (through the egg cell) and 23 chromosomes from the father (through the sperm cell).

However, sometimes a person inherits an extra chromosome from one of the parents. In Down syndrome, an individual most often inherits two copies of chromosome 21 from the mother and one chromosome 21 from the father for a total of three chromosomes 21. Because Down syndrome is caused by the inheritance of three chromosomes 21, the disorder is also called trisomy 21. About 95% of individuals with Down syndrome inherit an entire extra chromosome 21.

Psoriasis and astrology.

Psoriasis cause and effect astrology.
Astrology of psoriasis.

Psoriasis--is an immune-mediated disease that affects the skin. It is typically a lifelong condition. There is currently no cure, but various treatments can help to control the symptoms.

Psoriasis occurs when the immune system mistakes a normal skin cell for a pathogen, and sends out faulty signals that cause overproduction of new skin cells. It is not contagious. Psoriasis has been linked to an increased risk of stroke, and treating high blood lipid levels may lead to improvement. There are five types of psoriasis: plaque, gutate, inverse, pustular, and erythrodermic. The most common form, plaque psoriasis, is commonly seen as red and white hues of scaly patches appearing on the top first layer of the epidermis (skin). Some patients, though, have no dermatological signs or symptoms. The name psoriasis (ψωρίασις) is from the Greek language, meaning roughly "itching condition" (psora "itch" + -sis "action, condition").

In plaque psoriasis, skin rapidly accumulates at these sites, which gives it a silvery-white appearance. Plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area, including the scalp, palms of hands and soles of feet, and genitals. In contrast to eczema, psoriasis is more likely to be found on the outer side of the joint.

The disorder is a chronic recurring condition that varies in severity from minor localized patches to complete body coverage. Fingernails and toenails are frequently affected (psoriatic nail dystrophy) and can be seen as an isolated sign. Psoriasis can also cause inflammation of the joints, which is known as psoriatic arthritis. Between 10% and 30% of all people with psoriasis also have psoriatic arthritis.

Diseases due to afflictions of the Karakas of houses.

SUN produces a very deep-rooted impact. It destroys all impediments to the flowering of the native's innermost uniqueness. When the solar rays sparkle and strengthen the soul principle in man, no other conditioning can obstruct its clear impulses. The inner man must have his way; external conditions must adjust to inner ones, and thus they dissipate and fall asunder. From an ordinary point of view, this may seem to be a destruction of physical and social barriers. The Sun in the Sixth house enables the individual to achieve victory over his enemies, a successful termination of litigation and disputes, and effective solutions to financial difficulties. However, there may be kidney troubles or other such ailments, especially of the navel region. Psychological maturity and self-reliance are acquired along with a feeling of personal isolation. At times, even the government is unhelpful and antagonistic. The native may decide to live away from his homeland. With this combination, a very enigmatic situation arises: people at large express tremendous goodwill and sympathy for the individual, but they cannot establish empathy with him. Thus he may sometimes find himself on the psychoanalyst's couch unless his natal chart is basically strong. MOON in the Sixth house, the individual is dogged with persistent difficulties. Often his person is endangered and he is mixed up with criminals and anti-social elements; he suffers great financial difficulties and is even involved in public litigation. His physical health may not be strong, but there will be great mental expansion, intellectual development and moral stamina. Even during periods of acute physical and financial difficulty the native will succeed in securing help from providential sources. Such an individual will contribute much to social progress and command great respectability, but personally he will have much to complain of. MARS in the Sixth house is considered helpful; it has a great destructive force which enables the individual to transcend all sorts of difficulties. Even if the individual somehow, somewhere, gets involved in criminal proceedings, he emerges unscathed; afflicted by physical sufferings, he may experience a sudden cure. People in general may find him tight-fisted, but he will not be encumbered by debt. Mars in the Sixth induces a great deal of physical activity; events may happen so fast and from such unexpected quarters that the native may find himself in a whirlwind, both physically and mentally. In the process, he will develop fortitude, adapt­ability, and leadership. There is often a feeling of martyrdom in such a person; he may bleed physically and psychologically. His life experiences may make him rigid and opinionated. MERCURY hi the Sixth completely upsets the physical and social life of the individual. He experiences so many inner or subjective changes that his outer or physical relationships are subject to severe turbulence. His mind is so stirred up that there is no social or psychological stability for him. Such a person may be catapulted from abject poverty to regal splendor, but he cannot hold onto anything. There may be physical difficulties, sexual experimentation, and marital incompatibility leading to separation, divorce, or sexual abuse. But through all these vicissitudes, significant psychological transformation and a widening of awareness and great insight into life can be experienced with Mercury in the Sixth house. JUPITER. It bestows renown and financial assets, but the personal life of the native is full of turmoil. He may not enjoy the satisfaction of a harmonious married life. Finan­cially he needs additional support to achieve stability; expenditures ex­ceed income. Generosity of heart, an expansive temperament, and the desire for status will propel the individual into various social activities. He will invariably suffer from undefined cravings which may give him popularity, creativity and social status, but a deep-rooted sense of inferi­ority will be innate in him. VENUS creates problems when placed in the Sixth. Although the individual under its influence learns to unfold his capacities by associating himself with different types of people, these associations create social and personal difficulties for him. Often his marital life is in jeopardy, he becomes involved in bad business and debt, and at times suffers from venereal disease. He has no control over his expenditures. He learns his spiritual lessons with great difficulty but develops a sense of detachment after much physical, financial and moral suffering. SATURN in the Sixth house produces sexual problems for the individual  Sex will be a very unorthodox kind of experience for this native, but out of it there may arise a realization of his spiritual nature. Deprivation of a normal sex life and a tendency towards bizarre or unusual relationships enable him to secure special gifts from unexpected and unknown quarters which remove many of his personal difficulties. He may not always succeed in relating these two events, but both are impelled by Saturn. Such an individual is not necessarily attracted towards an unusual expression of sexuality, but the problem of sex affects his mental body vitally, and in some peculiar manner reveals to him the mysterious aspects of human motivation. For better or worse, his personal life is vitally affected by these experiences. He suffers from some physical ailment without expressing his pain to others; his doctors may not succeed in treating him easily. In spite of such personal anguish and sorrow, the individual with Saturn in the Sixth house enjoys great renown and social esteem. RAHU produces great sustaining power when placed in the Sixth house. Every physical impediment is mysteriously removed, success in temporal endeavours is assured, and diplomatic skill is developed to a considerable extent. The individual may not have much idealism in his life and may even keep undesirable company. He will feel the allure of unethical, disrespectful or forbidden activities. KETU in this position affects the mental principle in man and enables him to develop the powers of abstract thinking. Deeper levels of contemplation  often leading to the higher realms where one solves the abstruse problems of one's inner life, may result from such a combination. The individual under this planetary influence may achieve a remarkable conceptualization of abstract principles and a formulation of universal laws, but the problems of life are likely to mar his thinking. The final days of such an individual are often sorrowful, full of physical suffering and a realization of the futility of human endeavour  He experiences enormous difficulties in his life, and considerable humiliation during major periods of his earthly existence.

Astrology of Electrocution

Electrocution and astrology.

Astrology of electric shock.

Electrocution is death caused by electric shock, either accidental or deliberate. The word is derived from "electro" and "execution", but it is also used for accidental death. The term "electrocution," coined about the time of the first use of the electric chair in 1890, originally referred only to electrical execution (from which it is a portmanteau word), and not to accidental or suicidal electrical deaths. However, since no English word was available for non-judicial deaths due to electric shock, the word "electrocution" eventually took over as a description of all circumstances of electrical death from the new commercial electricity. The first recorded accidental electrocution (besides lightning strikes) occurred in 1879 when a stage carpenter in Lyon, France touched a 250-volt wire.

Astrological factors-- 

• Water signs as electricity needs a conductor
• Mercury as conductor in medical astrology it conducts nerve functions.
• Planet Mars for energy and action.
• Rahu for all electrical gadgets and transmission lines.
• Uranus as per western astrology is responsible for electric shock.
• Jupiter as mythical God that throws bolts of lightening.

Astrology of Appendicitis.

Appendicitis and astrological factors.

Appendicitis and astrology.

What causes appendicitis?

Experts believe there are two likely causes:

The appendix is on the right side of the abdomen, connected to the colon

·         Infection - a stomach infection may have found its way to the appendix.

·         Obstruction - a hard piece of stool may have got trapped in the appendix. The bacteria in the trapped stool may then have infected the appendix.

Scientists at the University of Calgary, Canada,found a link between high pollution levels and a higher incidence of appendicitis.

What are the symptoms of appendicitis?

Initially, some pain can be felt anywhere in the stomach area, but later, as it intensifies, its location becomes more defined in the lower right-hand side of the abdomen - an area known as McBurney point. 

The following symptoms are common:

·         Progressively worsening pain

·         Coughing or sneezing is painful

·         Nausea

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Inability to pass gas (break wind, fart)
• Fever
• Constipation
• Loss of appetite

Anybody who experiences a progressively worsening pain in the abdomen should seek medical attention. Other conditions may have similar symptoms, such as urinary tract infection; even so, they all require urgent medical attention.

Appendicitis

Astrological factors.

Planet---Venus/sign Libra under affliction .

Saturn-because it’s a vestigial organ.
5th/11th (house) axis 
6th house for intestine bowels and diseases

The 6^th lord indicates the disease, look for the Rashi it tenants and aspects on houses and signs.

Signs-Virgo and Libra

Nakshatra-Swati

Swathi nakshatra rules the body parts like skin, kidneys, ureter, appendicitis, hernia and bladder and is also responsible for the diseases associated with these organs. This star is under the governance of the shady planet rahu. 

The Sixth House

Diseases related to body parts like waist, navel, lower abdomen, kidneys, small intestine, upper part of large intestine, intestinal function, appendix, etc are mainly due to a weak sixth house in your birth chart. It is related to sickness like appendicitis, poisoning, constipation, hernia, blood urea, psychiatric problems, exhaustion and nervous breakdown. The sixth house afflicted with moon makes a wild tempered person or a lunatic whereas Venus affiliation gives sexual disorders, dysfunction of sex glands and sterility. Similarly when Mercury affiliates the sixth house it gives loss of memory, dull head and idiocy. 

Lord of sixth is combust and afflicted  in sign Libra signifying the area of disease .The nakshatra of 6th lord is Swati as such it again signifies the disease appendicitis as discussed above. The disease manifested in Venus -Saturn period and the native was nearly killed as appendicitis turned chronic and it burst endangering the life of the native .Note the aspects of Venus and to the Venus the axis is 5th -11th .House number 5 signifies the abdomen area .Saturn aspects both 5th and 6th houses as its retrograde and it aspects lagan also..So in the MD venus-AD of Saturn this disease had the native hospitalised for 3 months.As per Sh KN RAO affliction to venus ,sign taurus and gemini normaly indicate appendicitis.Here Venus is afflicted,sign taurus is under bad aspect so two out of three conditions are fulfilled as per Sh Rao.
