Astrological factors of Epilepsy

The disease Epilepsy relates to the nerve system of human body in which the patient becomes temporarily out of consciousness with/without convulsion of the organs and stiffness of the teeth. The main significators of the disease are Moon, Saturn, Mercury and the Sun. Sun is the origin of the entire nerve system while Mercury acts as the communicating agent from the brain to different organs of the body. Moon is the significator of sensational function of the nerve system while Saturn causes interruption of the smooth activities of the nerve system resulting in the disease. The houses involved in the natal chart are the third, fifth and sixth houses together with the Ascendant and the related lords. In the Zodiac, these will be respectively signified by the signs Gemini, Leo and Virgo. The above principles are established through the following cases: -

 

Case 1:

	Venus	Sun	Rahu Mars Mercury
Jupiter			Asc Moon Sat
	Ketu

Case Study:-

The native is a sufferer from nerve complaints in Rahu Dasa.

Analysis:-

The native is a Capricornian with the Ascendant occupied by Saturn and Moon and aspected by exalted Jupiter from the seventh house. The third house is occupied by debilated Mercury combined with strong enemies and malefics viz. Rahu and Mars. The combination is aspected by strong Jupiter and Saturn. The sixth sign of the Zodiac viz. the sign Virgo is also aspected by Rahu, Mars and Mercury. Thus, the factors signifying neurological problems being all present, the native developed the disease Epilepsy.

Case 2:

Jup 6	Sun 3 Ven 5	Merc 1	Ketu 26
Mars 9		Birth:- 15/05/1978 7:32 p.m.(Kolkata) Balance Ketu Dasa up to 25/03/1983
Sat 10 Moon 10	Rahu 12		Asc 200 39’’

Case Study:-

The chart relates to a boy who was a patient of Epilepsy. From the start of Venus Dasa the boy started suffering from Epilepsy, but by virtue of proper treatment in time, he recovered partly during Venus-Venus period and completely in the middle of 1992 during Venus-Rahu period.

Analysis:-

The native is born under Scorpio rising with the Ascendant/sixth lord Mars debilated in the watery sign Cancer ruled by Moon which is one of the significator of nerve. Moon combined with third lord Saturn which is another significator for nerve is posted in the tenth house in Leo between two malefics. The sixth sign of the Zodiac is occupied by malefic Rahu. Mercury, the significator of nerve system, being the eighth/eleventh lord, is posted in the sixth house in inimical sign and hemmed between malefics. Sun, the origin of the entire nerve system is combined with strong enemy Venus and aspected by Saturn and Rahu. Thus all the factors responsible for nerve system being afflicted, the native suffered from this disease but due to the benefic aspect of Jupiter on the twelfth house ruled by Venus, the native started recovery in the major period of Venus.   

Case 3

			Ketu 26	Moon 24
Asc Hers 9		Birth:- 13/10/1959 00:52 a.m.(Barasat) Balance Rahu Dasa up to 29/05/1972
Ven 11 Pluto 10	Sun 14 Rahu 13	Merc 15 Mars 14 Nept 15	Jup 17	Sat 19

Case Study:-

The lady is a lawyer and is a patient of Epilepsy and was badly suffering during the major period of Saturn.

Analysis:-

The native is born under Cancer rising with the Ascendant lord Moon, one significator for nerve, is posted in the eighth house in inimical sign Aquarius and aspected by Saturn from the sixth house and Venus from the second house in inimical sign. The third house, i.e. the sixth sign of the Zodiac viz. Virgo is occupied by Sun, the origin of the entire nerve system in the human body and Rahu and aspected by Saturn in the sixth house. The significator for nerve system i.e. Mercury is combined with strong enemy Mars and the fifth house is occupied by Jupiter in Scorpio and hemmed between malefics. The sixth house of the natal chart is occupied by seventh/eighth lord and strong malefic Saturn, another significator of nerve system in the constellation of Ketu which also signifies neurological problems. Thus these factors combinedly developed the disease Epilepsy in the native.

Case 4:

			Jup 26 ®	Rahu 24
		Birth:- 30/11/1951 00:10 a.m. (Kolkata)
Ketu 11 Asc	Sat 13      Mars 12         Ven 14		Sun 17 Moon 18	Merc 19

Analysis:-

The native is born under Leo with the Ascendant occupied by Ketu and aspected by Rahu. The second house i.e. the sixth sign of the Zodiac Virgo is occupied by Saturn, a significator for the nerve system, Mars and Venus. The Ascendant lord Sun, the origin of the entire nerve system combined with weak Moon, another significator of nerve system is posted in Scorpio and aspected by afflicted Saturn. The significator for nerve Mercury is posted in the fifth and aspected by strong enemy Mars. The sixth house is aspected by Rahu and its lord Saturn combined with strong enemy Mars and debilated Venus is posted in the sixth sign Virgo which is also the primary maraka house for the Ascendant. These factors made the native a victim of Epilepsy and finally he died of an accident.
