Planets can in some way affect our state of health. The nature of this impact of the planets, of course, depends on the natural nature of the planets themselves (it can be both beneficial and harmful), as well as on their connection with other "good" or "evil" planets. Thus, a high or excessively low energy level of a planet can cause one or another disease, which will be reflected in a person’s personal horoscope.
In Sanskrit, a benevolent planet is called subha ("righteous"), and a malicious planet is called papi ("sinner").
Jupiter, Venus, Moon, Mercury are beneficial planets. The moon is a naturally good planet when it grows (from the new moon to the full moon), and malevolent in the rest of the time. And Mercury is good if it is not connected with planets that are evil by nature, and in other cases its influence is not positive.
Saturn, Rahu, Mars, Ketu, the Sun are harmful planets. However, such a clear division of the planets into “good and bad” does not give reason to say that this is genuinely true. Because dual qualities may be necessary to achieve the best result.
In the jyotish of “zlotyvnyh” planets there are more, and this is a consequence of the ways of describing karma, since the more selfish your actions, the more friendly you are the karma that you create for yourself. Usually beneficial planets give good health, and malignant planets cause illness. But this is just a general rule.
Malicious planets can cause disease due to their destructive effects, but if they are well located, they increase resistance to various diseases. And beneficial planets maintain good health if they are well located in the horoscope, but if they are affected, they can also cause illness.
Features of beneficial planets
Jupiter is the first, greatest and lasting benefactor, capable of giving long-term health, wealth, wisdom and happiness.
Venus as a beneficent planet gives happiness, wealth, pleasure, creative abilities, but in its impact is not as long-lasting as Jupiter.
The moon as a whole is kind, but it can become malicious if the Sun is near it, which overshadows its brightness. The influence of the moon is most pronounced in the period of its increase - from the fifth day after the new moon to the tenth day when it decreases. It is also believed that when the Moon is in the same sign with the Sun or adjacent to it, it is weak and malicious.
Mercury itself is beneficial, it helps to achieve a balance in thoughts and actions, but it is easily influenced by the evil planets with which it connects. But Mercury, in conjunction with the Sun, is usually not considered harmful, since it is never far from the Sun.
Features of adverse planets
Saturn personifies the forces of decay, degeneration and death. No wonder he is considered the most dangerous pest, whose adverse effect can last a long time. Mars can also be a dangerous pest, but its activity, as a rule, spreads for a short time, causing sudden catastrophes, injuries and infections.
Rahu, unlike Saturn, acts on a more subtle, mental level, affecting the brain and nervous system.
Ketu is similar to Mars, but, like Rahu, it acts on a subtle, mental level, "overheating" the brain and nervous system.
The sun affects health in two ways: as a pest, it weakens and burns out horoscope factors associated with it, but at the same time as a signifier of self and vitality, it can improve health.
Beneficial and evil planets and Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda, vata dosha is responsible for most diseases, especially those that lead to long-term undermining of vitality. The next most important pathogenic dosha is pitta, which causes febrile, infectious diseases and diseases that may be accompanied by bleeding. All of them, as a rule, are acute. Kapha gives physical strength and endurance, but causes diseases associated with a loose lifestyle, lack of movement, and being overweight. These diseases are usually chronic, but do not cause an acute deterioration in health.
A weak planet in a goroskol, it does not matter whether it is beneficial or harmful, usually causes vata disorders, even if the planet itself is a type of pitta or kapha. Planetary weakness is expressed more likely in the problems of vata, which include most bodily weaknesses and degeneration factors.
VATA planets
If Saturn and Rahu in the horoscope are affected by health factors - the ascendant or his ruler, then this causes problems of vata.
Saturn as the main indicator of illness, old age and death, represents the destructive power of time, and causes chronic, debilitating diseases, lowers the level of life force, gives birth defects, poor digestion and poor resistance to diseases. Diseases associated with Saturn include arthritis, rheumatism, bone fractures and osteoporosis, various types of nervous disorders, pain and paralysis, and intractable diseases.
However, a well-located Saturn is capable of giving a great successor.
life, high body resistance. Psychologically, he bestows a cold and calm mind, strength and virtue.
Rahu gives a variety of mysterious and intractable diseases. It shows the health problems that arise immediately as a result of the epidemic, and can cause weakening of the immune and endocrine systems, indigestion, loss of appetite and the presence of parasites, intractable diseases, including cancer.
Rahu causes such psychological illnesses as stress, insomnia, nightmares, palpitations, shocks, insanity, and paralysis. It gives neurosis, hysteria, dizziness, fear and convulsions. In the case of severe damage, it can give a person suicidal or manic-depressive syndrome.
Rahu’s pathogenic abilities may not appear until they come under the influence or aspect of pests such as Saturn and Mars. Well located Rahu, endows with strong immunity, psychological adaptability, good karma.
The moon causes illness, mainly when it is weakened, which is most often expressed in air disorders, or problems with cotton wool. The lungs may be weak, the amount of vital fluids is limited, and the mucous membranes easily dry out and become damaged. In extreme cases, it can be asthma, pneumonia and other pulmonary diseases. Nervous and emotional upsets, sullenness, depression and hysteria are possible. Often there are insomnia, nightmares and lack of peace of mind.
The favorably located Moon provides excellent physical shape, quality life vibes, emotional balance and mental stability, reflecting good heredity and access to quality medicine.
Weak Mercury, like the weak Moon, causes mainly air or cotton disorders, which gives weak lungs and a sensitive nervous system. This is expressed in cough, allergies. There may be speech defects, hypersensitivity, lack of mental development, growth difficulties (endocrine problems) and poor coordination. Such things most often happen in childhood.
However, strong Mercury gives good health, healing abilities, good brain-body coordination and a healthy zdocrine system, as well as the ability to behave properly during an illness. This is an important factor in bodily and mental health and fitness.
Venus, if weak, then creates mainly airborne, or vata disorders. The most problematic areas are the kidneys and the reproductive system. Women will have infertility, irregular periods or pain and cramps during periods, as well as a tendency to miscarriages. In men - impotence, prostatitis and other problems of the reproductive sphere. There may be chronic infections of the kidneys and bladder, stones in the urinary tract, a weak physique, and the skin will lack moisture and softness. But a strong Venus gives good health and vitality, mainly through a strong reproductive system, a high potential for creative energy and a love of life. This is an important factor in longevity.
PITTA-planets - the Sun, Mars and Ketu.
The sun is the main contributor to health, strength and energy. If it is strong, it gives bodily and mental harmony. But when the Sun hits other planets and health houses, it can cause fire and pitta disorders, very similar to those caused by Mars. In this case, there is a tendency to circulatory disorders, including heart attacks, as well as excessive heat, which depletes bodily fluids.
On the other hand, being weak or afflicted, the Sun produces chronic and debilitating diseases - mainly the nature of cotton wool or pitta. These are: heart weakness, poor digestion, ulcers, decreased metabolic functions (nausea or hypothyroidism), arthritis, poor eyesight. Usually in these cases pallor and anemia are also observed, and the resistance of the disease is low.
Mars represents injuries and accidents, in particular those accompanied by bleeding, including surgery. It is an indicator of acute infectious diseases, accompanied by fever and intoxication of the body. It produces fever, inflammation and a burning sensation.
Mars can cause liver and gall bladder diseases, including hepatitis, jaundice, and liver cancer. It produces blood poisoning with toxins, which is externally expressed in acne, abscesses, ulcers, herpes and sexually transmitted diseases. It gives stress, high blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks and is manifested in blood diseases - anemia and leukemia, which is characterized by an elevated pitta dosha.
On the other hand, well-located Mars provides a high level of vital and sexual energy, athleticism, the ability to perform hard work and resistance to disease. This is an important indicator of good health and vitality.
Ketu, like Rahu, causes mysterious, massive and mental disorders. It means global disasters, wars and accidents affecting a large number of people. At the physical level, it causes neuromuscular disorders, cancer, and fever that damage the brain and nervous system. Like Mars, it causes infections, bleeding and infections, but often at a deeper level - the level of the blood and nervous system. He exposes a person to surgery.
However, a well-located Ketu gives resistance to disease, sharpness of mind and feelings, physical strength and agility. He is able to endow a person with insight and consideration, which make it possible to avoid critical situations.
KAPHA-planets - Jupiter, Moon.
Kapha planets usually cause kapha disorders only in the event of an unfavorable combination between themselves, for example, adverse kappa and Jupiter and Venus, which are considered enemies in Vedic astrology, can influence kapha disorders.
Jupiter is a planet of good health that encourages vitality, healing, and good habits in every sense. Strong Jupiter is capable of much in terms of mitigating the pathogenic factors of the horoscope.
If Jupiter is poorly located, then it causes mainly disorders of water and kapha. Being an expansive planet, it provides excess weight, edema, and diabetes. This can lead to poor circulation, the accumulation of cholesterol and a decrease in liver function, which, in turn, leads to heart attacks and other complications. Jupiter can cause the growth of tumors, but usually benign. It can give excessive development of bodily tissue anywhere in the body. If it is weak and affected, it usually causes airborne, or vata disorders, such as exhaustion, lack of physical strength, intermittent breathing, nervous disorders and hormonal imbalances.
The moon is by nature a beneficial planet, but if it is strong but poorly located in the horoscope, it gives kapha disorders - excess mucus, sore tonsils and the formation of tumors (usually benign). It causes edema and other diseases associated with water retention, kidney problems, excess weight, laziness. The defeat of the moon also negatively affects the sexual sphere and reproductive functions.
