Arthritis

Astrological factors of Arthritis

The disease relates to the element wind or Batha in the body, the variation of quantity of which gives rise to this disease in the organ as afflicted by the concerned factors. Astrologically, Saturn is the main planet as it causes all sorts of chronic pain. Deposition of Saturn in airy or watery signs may develop this disease. At the same time sixth house and/or its Lord and/or the sign Virgo and/or its Lord Mercury should also be afflicted by malefics. Moon and the sign Cancer signifying sensations should also be related to these factors. These planets or the other factors may also cause this disease when related with other malefic houses viz. eighth and/or twelfth house. In absence of any relieving factors such as influence of strong Jupiter or its weakness the disease may be intensified. This is illustrated with the following cases.   

    

Case 1:

Jup 5 Hers 7	Asc 290 58’
Ven 9 Ketu 8		Birth:13/09/1953 22:56 p.m.(Kolkata) Balance Jupiter Dasa up to 11/11/1961	Rahu 21
Sun 12 Mars 10 Pluto 10	Merc 12            Nept 14	Sat 14 Moon 16

Case Study:-

The native had an attack of Thrombosis of eye and underwent a number of operations and finally restored his sight in Feb, 2007. After this, he developed Arthritis at both legs and at the waste in the latter half of 2007.

Analysis:-

The native is born under Taurus rising with the Ascendant and sixth lord Venus combined with Ketu in the third house, a watery sign and aspected by Saturn and Rahu. The sixth house is occupied by Moon and exalted Saturn in the airy sign Libra and aspected by the malefic eighth lord Jupiter from the inimical airy sign Gemini which is the primary maraka house of the native. The Thrombosis of eye originated from the affliction of Venus by three malefics Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in the third house, the affliction of Moon by Saturn and that of Sun by seventh-twelfth lord Mars. And Arthritis is caused by the affliction of the sixth house Libra, an airy sign by Saturn and Moon, the affliction of other airy sign Gemini, the primary maraka house for the ascendant by malefic eighth lord Jupiter and the third airy sign Aquarius by Sun, Mars and Jupiter by aspect. Thus all the airy signs and the planets responsible for Arthritis, that is Saturn and the other related planet Moon together with the sixth house and its lord Venus being strongly afflicted, Arthritis resulted for the native.  

Case 2:

	Rahu 4           Hers 4			Mars 24       Sun 25     Merc 24®
Sat 8             Pluto 9®		Birth:- 07/03/1947 03:20 a.m.(Kolkata) Balance Venus Dasa up to 30/01/1958	Asc Ven 22
Moon11	Nept 13®		Jup 17 Ketu 17

Analysis:-

The native developed Arthritis at both legs during the fag end of the major period of Rahu but recovered to a high degree during the middle of the major period of Jupiter. In this case, the airy sign Aquarius - the eleventh sign of the Zodiac is occupied by the eighth lord Sun and the malefic Mars both in inimical sign and the sixth lord Mercury in setting condition and retrogression very near to its house of debilation. The Ascendant Capricorn, the tenth sign of the Zodiac is also afflicted by the aspect of Saturn and Rahu. The sixth house Gemini, an airy sign although free of deposition or aspect of malefics is hemmed between two strong malefics Saturn and Rahu. The Ascendant lord Saturn is posted in the watery sign Cancer in retrogression in the seventh house which is the secondary maraka house for the Ascendant; however, the strong aspects of the two natural benefics viz. Jupiter and Venus on Saturn are relieving factors. The sixth sign of the Zodiac viz. Virgo is aspected by three malefics Mars, Saturn and Rahu while its lord Mercury is conjoined with the eighth lord Sun, the strong enemy Mars in the airy sign Aquarius in setting condition and retrogression too, thereby increasing the degree of malefic nature. These factors combinedly developed Arthritis at both legs of the native during the sub-phase of Sun, Moon and Mars of the major phase of Rahu; but with the start of major phase of Jupiter recovery started and the native became almost completely cured during the sub-phase of Venus in the major phase of Jupiter; contemporary transit affects acted as additional factors.     

Case 3:

Sat 7	Ketu 4	Moon 2		Jup 24®
		Birth:-07/09/1974 4:30 p.m.(Kolkata) Balance Venus-mercury Dasa up to 29/10/1974	Asc
Sun 11 Ven 10	Mars 12  Merc 12 Pluto 13	Hers 14	Rahu 18 Nept 17

Case Study:-

The chart relates to a native suffering from Arthritis and Spondilysis.

Analysis:-

The native is born under Capricorn rising with the Ascendant lord Saturn deposited in the sixth house in Gemini, an airy sign ruled by Mercury in the constellation of third-twelfth lord Jupiter which occupies the second house, another airy sign Aquarius in the constellation of Rahu and retrograde Jupiter’s aspect on Saturn is somewhat relieving. The third airy sign Libra is hemmed between strong malefics. The sixth lord Mercury is posted in Virgo in exaltation, but being associated with strong enemy Mars should have some neural problems. The twelfth house is aspected by Saturn and Mars. Of the three watery signs, Cancer is hemmed between malefics, Scorpio is occupied by strong enemy Rahu and Pisces is aspected by Rahu, Saturn, Mars and Mercury. These factors combinedly originated the disease Arthritis and Spondilysis both being related to the elements air and water according to Ayurveda Shastra, and the disease once grew very acute but due to the relieving aspect of Jupiter on the sixth house and Saturn as well as the sign Libra, the native started healing and is practically fit during the middle period of Rahu.  

Case 4:

			Sat 1® Ketu 1 Hers 3®	Jup 26®	Asc
Pluto 8			Birth:- 19/09/1939 16:30 p.m.(Faridpur) Balance Mercury Dasa up to 26/05/1951	Mars 21
Merc 12		Nept 12 Sun 12 Ven 12	Rahu 15	Moon 18

Analysis:-

The native is born under Aquarius rising with the Ascendant lord Saturn in debilation in conjunction with Ketu and aspected by Rahu and Mars, although debilation is cancelled due to mutual aspect with the exalted Mars from the twelfth house. The sixth lord Moon is debilated in Scorpio whereas the third house is occupied by debilated Saturn and Ketu. The eighth house from the Ascendant is Vargo which is also the sixth sign of the Zodiac and occupied by Sun and debilated Venus. Sun being a maraka, the eighth lord Mercury is placed in the seventh house and aspected by strong enemy exalted Mars by its eighth aspect. Of the three airy signs, Gemini is aspected by Saturn conjoined with Ketu as also by Rahu, Libra is occupied by Rahu and aspected by Saturn conjoined with Ketu while Aquarius, the Ascendant is aspected by Rahu as also by eighth lord as well as the significator for nerve system Mercury. Of the three watery signs, Cancer is aspected by exalted Mars from the twelfth house; Scorpio is occupied by debilated sixth lord Moon but Pisces is occupied by the lord Jupiter without any malefic influence. Thus, all the factors relating to neurological problems are present in the chart and the native suffered from Thrombosis in the lower part of the body and thereafter developed Arthritis.
