Azma

Astrological factors of Azma

The symptom of the disease is breathing troubles originated either from cold, cough or movement of air in the body, particularly in the throat, neck, lungs etc. region of the human body. In a natal chart, it relates to the third and the fourth house as well as their lords. In the Zodiac, the three airy signs viz. Gemini, Libra and Aquarius as also the three watery signs, Cancer in particular, are involved. Among the planets, Moon is responsible of cold, cough and Mercury being the lord of Gemini; obstruction causing planets viz. Saturn, Rahu and Ketu may come into action. Mars, being a strong enemy towards Mercury, is likely to cause the same trouble when afflicting the sign Gemini. These houses and their lords, the signs and the planets Moon and Mercury when weak or afflicted by malefics like Mars, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu etc. may develop the disease Azma. The above principle is exemplified by the following cases: -

Case 1:

Moon 5		Ketu 2	Sat 27 Asc	Jup 24
		Birth:- 04/01/1939
		Mars 16 Rahu 16	Ven 17 Merc 18	Sun 20

Analysis:-

The native is born under Pisces rising with the Ascendant lord Jupiter in the twelfth house in an airy sign exchanging house with the twelfth lord Saturn in the watery sign of the Ascendant. The fourth house from the Ascendant which is the third sign of the Zodiac and also an airy sign and house of breathing is occupied by fifth lord Moon and aspected by Jupiter and also by Rahu combined with Mars. The second airy sign Libra is occupied by Rahu and its strong enemy Mars, which is the chief maraka for the Ascendant but aspected by Ascendant lord Jupiter which is also aspected by Rahu. Of the three watery signs, Cancer is devoid of any malefic influence but Mercury and the eighth lord Venus are posted in Scorpio and hemmed between malefics. The third watery sign Pisces is itself occupied by malefic Saturn without any external influence. The third house of the natal chart viz. the sign Taurus is aspected by Saturn from the Ascendant, Mars combined with Rahu and also by the lord Venus combined with maraka Mercury. Thus, all the three airy signs and the two watery signs have been afflicted by position or aspect because here Jupiter although being a natural benefic is by virtue of being the lords of two angles becomes malefic. The third house from the Ascendant is also aspected by malefics Saturn and Mars, the latter being combined with Rahu. Sixth lord of the chart viz. Sun is posted in the tenth in the fiery sign but also aspected by malefic Saturn from a watery sign is square. Thus, all the three airy signs, the third house of the natal chart and the lords, the Ascendant and its lord, the sixth lord etc. being afflicted by malefics the native developed strong Azma due to dusty surroundings and suffered for a very long period.

Case 2:

		Jup®
Ketu			Rahu
Asc	Sun Merc Sat	Ven	Moon Mars

Analysis:-

The native is born under Leo rising. In the natal chart, all the three airy signs and watery signs are afflicted. Gemini is aspected by Saturn from the second house and also by Mars combined with Moon from Scorpio. The sign Libra is hemmed between malefics like waning Moon and Mars on the one hand and Sun, Saturn and Mercury on the other. The third airy sign Aquarius is aspected by Mars. Again, the watery sign Cancer is occupied by Ketu and aspected by Rahu while Scorpio is occupied by debilated Moon and Mars, and aspected by Saturn and the third watery sign Pisces is aspected by Sun, Saturn and Mercury. The combination of Sun, Mercury and Saturn in Virgo is aspected by Rahu from the sixth house. The sixth lord Saturn is combined with Ascendant lord Sun, a strong enemy and also with Mercury, the lord of the sixth sign of the Zodiac Virgo, is posted in the chief maraka place viz. second house and aspected by Rahu without any benefic influence. Thus, the airy signs related to breathing and watery signs related to heart as well as their lords being occupied by malefics and/or the signs or their lord being afflicted, the native developed Azma primarily at an early age.

Case 3:

Asc	Rahu		Sat® Mars®
	Sun Jup	Merc Ven	Ketu	Moon

Case study:-

The native suffered from acute Asthma.

 Analysis:-

The native is born under Gemini rising signifying the Lungs, breathing function etc. and aspected by the sixth lord and a strong malefic Mars in retrogression and combined with the eighth lord and strong enemy retrograde Saturn. The sixth house is aspected by malefic Rahu from the twelfth house and occupied by Ketu in Scorpio, the second watery sign of the Zodiac. The Ascendant lord Mercury joined with natural benefic Venus is deposited in the fifth house in another airy sign Libra and aspected by retrograde Mars combined with retrograde Saturn and also hemmed between malefics viz. Sun and Ketu. The two watery signs viz. Scorpio and Pisces are also occupied by natural malefics. The sixth sign of the Zodiac Virgo is occupied by third lord Sun and secondary maraka-cum-badhaka Jupiter and aspected by the combination of Saturn and Mars as well as Rahu. Thus, the two watery signs out of three and the two airy signs out of three, the significator Mercury and Moon, the sixth house and its lord of the natal chart and the sixth sign Virgo and its lord being strongly afflicted, the native developed acute Azma.
