Astrological factors of Bone Marrow problems

Bone is governed by the three earthy signs of the Zodiac viz. Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn ruled by Venus, Mercury and Saturn respectively. Correspondingly in a natal chart the second, sixth and the tenth houses also signify the bones of the native. Bone marrow, a soft fatty substance existing in the cavities of bones is, therefore, also controlled by the above signs and houses. Moreover, Saturn is the significator of bone and Mars signifies bone marrow. Therefore, affliction of these houses and signs, Saturn, Mars together with the Ascendant and its lord if afflicted by malefics will give rise to diseases relating to bone marrow which is illustrated with the following cases: -

     

Case 1:

Asc 130 43’’ Mars 6				Ketu 25
		Birth: - 19/09/1960 23:48 p.m. Balance Venus Dasa up to 8 years 10 months and 8 days
Rahu 11 Moon 11	Ven 14 Sun 12® Merc 13®			Jup 14® Sat 20®

		Jup Ketu		Sun Asc
Merc		Navamsa
Mandi	Ven Sat	Rahu Moon		Mars

Analysis:-

In this case, the native is born under Gemini rising with the sixth lord Mars occupying the Ascendant in inimical sign being aspected by the eighth lord Saturn and secondary maraka being the seventh lord as well as badhaka for the dual sign Gemini viz. Jupiter from the seventh house i.e. secondary maraka place. Jupiter being the secondary maraka and combined with eighth lord Saturn has become strong malefic for the Ascendant. Moon, the lord of the second house and also significator of blood is combined with Rahu and is weak being a waning Moon. The combination although aspected by Jupiter can not be very relieving as Jupiter itself is strongly afflicted since the combination of Saturn and Jupiter is also aspected by Mars and Rahu. The Ascendant lord Mercury combined with the third lord Sun and the only benefic for the Ascendant Venus is posted in the fourth house and aspected by Saturn and Mars. Venus although debilated gets the debilation cancelled due to the association of exalted Mercury. The first watery sign Cancer is hemmed between malefics and aspected by Rahu. The other two watery signs are, however, devoid of any malefic influence. Thus, the sign Cancer, its lord Moon, the sixth lord and significator for bone marrow Mars, the Ascendant lord Mercury, the Ascendant itself, the significator for vital energy i.e. Sun, the eighth house and its lord being all afflicted by malefics, the native developed the disease. The mutual affliction of Saturn and Mars along with strong malefic Jupiter caused the weakness of bone and disease relating to bone marrow.

Case 2:

Ven 160 31’’®	Ketu 150 56’’ Sun 240 06’’ Merc 80 26’’®	Moon 230 52’’		Mars 100 04’’
Mandi 40 52’’		Birth:- 6/06/1956  21:47 p.m. Balance Venus Dasa up to 4 years 2 months and 11days	Asc 40 53’’
Jup 30 12’’			Rahu 150 56’’ Sat 60 30’’

	Ketu	Jup	Merc ®	Asc Ven
		Navamsa	Mars
Sat Mandi Sun			Rahu

Analysis:-

In this case, the Ascendant is Capricorn with the sixth lord Mercury and the eighth lord Sun combined with Ketu occupying the sign Taurus, an earthy sign signifying the solid part of body and aspected by Mars, Saturn and Rahu. Mars is posted in inimical sign Aquarius exchanging house with the lord Saturn posted in Scorpio combined with Rahu thereby afflicting the second watery sign of the Zodiac. The other two watery signs viz. Cancer and Pisces are also afflicted by the aspect of Rahu. Therefore, in this case, the sixth lord and the eighth lord which is the significator of vital energy of life are all being afflicted by Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu caused the origin of the disease relating to bone marrow.    

Case 3:

	Jup 03	Mars 02		Sun 23 Rahu 24
Moon 08		Birth:- 18/02/1989 02:13 p.m.(Nagpur) Death:- 21/07/04 Dasa when died Saturn and Jupiter	Merc 21 Ven 23
Ketu 10		Pluto 16	Asc	Sat 20 Hers 19 Nept 20

Analysis:-

The native was born under Scorpio rising aspected by the Ascendant-sixth lord Mars from the sixth house. Mars is otherwise strong in position but it is posted in the constellation of maraka Venus which is the seventh/twelfth lord posted in Capricorn in the constellation of Mars in association with eighth lord Mercury and hemmed between strong malefics. Thus, exchange of constellation between Mars and Venus has rendered both strong malefics. Sun, the significator of vital energy is posted in the inimical sign Aquarius in the constellation of Mars and associated with strong enemy Rahu, the combination itself being aspected by the strong malefic Saturn thereby reducing the vital energy of life. Moon, the significator of watery part of body is posted in its own sign Cancer in the constellation of Saturn and aspected by Mars, Mercury and Venus. The third watery sign Pisces is hemmed between malefics. Thus, all the three watery signs being afflicted by malefics and the sixth lord Mars, although strong in position being rendered strong malefic due to exchange of constellation and having an trinal relation with Saturn and Ketu, a cooperating relation with Sun and Rahu and angular relation with Moon, Mercury and Venus causing the malefic nature of Mars being stronger, the native developed the disease of bone marrow which required transplantation, but before it could be done the native expired.
