In medical astrology, when a zodiac sign becomes afflicted, it gives the first indication or hint of possible health issues. If the corresponding bhava (house) also shows similar affliction or confirms the same tendency, the likelihood of that disease increases. Finally, the planetary combinations reveal the exact nature or type of disease the person may suffer from or be susceptible to.
Additionally, the 6th lord’s placement, conjunctions, and aspects play a
key role in determining the specific kind of ailment or area of the body that
may be affected.
Simplified Explanation
- Afflicted
Sign → Hint: The zodiac sign affected indicates the general area of
weakness (e.g., Aries = head, Leo = heart).
- Afflicted
House → Confirmation: If the related house (e.g., 6th for diseases,
8th for chronic issues, 12th for hospitalization) also supports the sign’s
indication, the disease is more likely.
- Planetary
Combinations → Type of Disease: The nature of the disease (mental,
blood-related, nervous, etc.) is understood from planets’ conjunctions,
aspects, and strength.
- 6th
Lord’s Role: The 6th house and its lord are key determinants of
diseases; their placement and relations with malefics or afflicted planets
specify the kind of illness.
