Astrological factors of Eye disease

The significators of eyes in the Zodiac are the Sun and the Moon respectively characterizing the right and the left eye of the human body. The signs involved are Taurus and Pisces signifying respectively the right and the left eye. Correspondingly, in the natal chart, the second and the twelfth houses function in the same way. The chief enemies of the Sun and the Moon in the Zodiac are Saturn and Rahu. Therefore, affliction of the respective houses in the natal chart and/or their lords and/or the corresponding signs viz. Taurus and Pisces and/or the Sun and the Moon give rise to different types of diseases relating to eyes. Relation with Mars causes inflammatory appearance of the eye. The Sun signifies the strength of eye-sight; the Moon signifies the feelings or sensation of the eye-sight while Venus signifies the external beauty and expression of the eyes. An affliction to a high degree of Venus may result in blindness because Venus is the significator of blood-sugar in terms of Astrology. This is supported by a myth in Hindu Puranas wherein the Master of the demons viz. Venus was made blind by a poking action of his disciple Boliraj at the instance of the Lord Vishnu in disguise of a dwarf Brahmin boy. Relation of Moon with Saturn weakens the nerve system of the eyes. Combination of the Sun and/or the Moon with Venus and/or Rahu may lead to defects of eye-sight as the result of to much physical enjoyments. The relation with Saturn may weaken the nerve system of eyes due to hardship or want of proper food. Relation with Ketu may result in eye defects and affliction to a high degree may even cause blindness. These principles are exemplified by the following cases: -   

Case 1:

Merc 5 Sun 7 Mars 7		Sat 1	Rahu 27
Ven 7		Birth:- 12/07/1968	Moon 23
Jup 10	Asc Ketu 13

Case Study:-

The native was suddenly attacked with headache and became blind at the age of 18 years and 9 months.

Analysis:-

The case is of a Virgo Ascendant. The second house of the chart is aspected by debilated Saturn while the second lord Venus is aspected by Moon and Rahu. The twelfth lord Sun is combined with malefic Mars and the Ascendant lord Mercury posted in between malefics and the seventh house of the natal chart i.e. twelfth sign of the Zodiac is occupied by malefic Rahu. The significator of the right eye viz. the Sun is afflicted in combination with malefic Mars and the Ascendant lord Mercury and aspected by debilated Saturn while the significator for left eye viz. Moon is aspected by debilated Saturn and primary maraka Venus while Venus itself posted in the watery sign Cancer is aspected by Rahu in Pisces and squared by debilated Saturn in the fiery sign Aries. Thus, these factors combinedly rendered the native a victim of eye troubles.

Case 2:

Asc	Moon		Ketu
	Sun Sat Rahu	Merc Jup	Ven	Mars

Case Study:-

The native is almost blind.

Analysis:-

Here the Ascendant is Gemini. The second lord Moon is posted in the twelfth house and aspected by twelfth lord Venus posted in the sixth house in its detrimental sign Scorpio as also by Rahu combined with Sun and Saturn in the sixth sign Virgo and thus becoming primary victim of the eye troubles. These combinations in Virgo aspected by Rahu rendered the sixth sign which signifies the nerve system very dry one, thus, weakening the nerves related with eyes. The second sign of the Zodiac viz. Taurus is occupied by exalted Moon and aspected by maraka Venus and Rahu. The twelfth sign of the Zodiac is occupied by Ketu and aspected by Sun, Saturn, Rahu and Mars. Sun is thus himself afflicted by malefics and so also the Moon. Mars aspects the second house while Venus is aspected by Saturn combined with Sun and Rahu. The significator of nerve system Mercury is combined with its strong enemy Jupiter but the saving aspect of Jupiter on the Ascendant made some relief to the native although the Ascendant itself is afflicted by the aspect of Saturn and Mars. Thus, all the factors relating to eye trouble being present in the chart, the native became a patient of eye disease.

Sun 6	Mars 5 Ven 5®	Asc
Merc 7 Rahu 9		Birth:-24/06/1980 1:30 a.m.(Barasat) Balance Rahu Dasa up to 6 years 4 months and 12 days	Ketu 23

Mercury is combined with Rahu and hemmed between malefics 2. Saturn combined with the twelfth lord Jupiter is afflicted by mutual aspect with Mars 3.

Taurus signifying the eye-sight as Venus has control over the same.

	Asc Ketu 12	Jup 15® Moon 14		Pluto 19®

Analysis:-

The native is born under Virgo rising, the sixth sign of the Zodiac. In the birth chart the second house is occupied by Moon, the significator of the left eye and the Jupiter both maraka and badhaka for the Ascendant, in retrogression and in the constellation of Rahu, the significator of cataract aspected by debilated Mars combined with strong enemies Saturn and Mercury both being weak in the inimical sign Cancer which is itself aspected by malefic Rahu from Pisces. The main significator for eye and particularly of the right eye i.e. Sun is hemmed between strong enemy Venus on one side and the combination of Mars-Mercury and Saturn on the other. Although, a benefic aspect of Jupiter combined with Moon is there on the Sun but Jupiter itself being weak by position, the aspect can not help much in this case. The second sign of the Zodiac viz. Taurus is occupied by the lord Venus but the twelfth sign Pisces is occupied by malefic Rahu. The Ascendant itself is occupied by Ketu and aspected by afflicted Saturn and Rahu, the sign being Virgo i.e. the sixth sign of the Zodiac ruled by Mercury, the significator of nerve which is itself weak being deposited in the inimical sign Cancer and combined with malefic and strong enemy Mars. The nerve system of the eye of the native is also very weak; as the result, the native developed cataract in the very childhood.
