Fundamentals of Astrology

2.1 Astrology: The Eyes of the Vedas

Astrology is a very unique part of the rich body of Vedic knowledge.

“Jyotiṣa,” the authentic Sanskrit name of Vedic astrology, is one of the six vedāṅgas,

and is called the “eyes of the Vedas.” Jyotiṣa represents the knowledge of the light of

consciousness. The word “Jyotiṣa” means light and its knowledge allows us to really

see ourselves by shedding light on the relationships between consciousness and

matter, and the subtle balance between free will and predestination.

In essence, we are all beings of light, and the purpose of our lives in this

physical realm is for the awareness of “being the light” to penetrate and coexist with

the experience of the limitations of the relative. As we enter this physical state, and

the soul joins the body, some degree of this experience of being light comes along,

but in different ways for different people. Jyotiṣa has the amazing power to tell us in

fine detail what our unique spectrum looks like, and where ignorance has blocked

out specific colors.

2.8 ASTROLOGY AND DISEASES

The basic tenet pertaining to diseases in astrology is that causes of diseases

indicated by planets. According to astrology, diseases of body or mind can be result

of imbalance of the humors or due to sins in the past births or due to both.

24

25

As per karmavipāka saṁhitā, there are three types of karma.

1. Prārabdha

2. Sañcita

3. Kriyamāṇa

26

Karma:

The simple and succinct definition of Karma is that “each and every physical

action or deed that you perform with the co-operation of the mind, right from

morning to evening during the whole day and night, during the whole week, whole

month, and whole year and during the whole of your life right from birth to death is

called Karma”. 27

All physical actions performed by human being with all senses, organs and

limbs, performed as influenced and propelled by the likes and dislikes, attachments

18

and non-attachments and with the co-operation of your mind and intellect are called

'Karma'.

All these Karmas are divided into three categories according to their stages as

under;

1. Kriyamāṇa Karma: means an action done at the spur of a moment or time

in the present tense which instantaneously bears fruit and results in

reaction then and there.

2. Sañcita Karma (Cumulative Karma):

It means the actions done but not yet ripe to give fruits immediately or on the

spot but take some time to get ripened. Such Karmas are kept in abeyance pending in

the balance waiting for the opportune time to become ripe, to give fruits in future.

Till then they remain in balance and are accumulated. Until their fructification, these

Sanchit Karmas would not be neutralised.

3. Prārabdha Karma:

It is the accumulated karmas which have now become ripe and are ready to

give fruits. They are commonly known as destiny, luck, fate, fortune etc.28

As per vedic astrology, if the native has to confront diseases according to his

previous malefic actions, then nature of the disease, period of the disease, gravity of

the disease, possibility or impossibility of the disease, cure of the disease etc. will be

indicated by the planets relating itself with the ascendant and other houses in the

horoscope. Planets by their particular placements in the signs in birth chart indicate

the diseases that occur due to past sinful deeds of human being.

2.9 Classification of diseases

In astrology, diseases are classified in to two types namely natural and

acquired.

These two can again be sub-divided thus: natural into bodily and mental; and

acquired into known causes and unknown causes. Bodily diseases are of four kinds,

viz., those caused by vāta, those caused by pitta, those caused by kapha and those

caused by sannipatha.

Diseases arising in the body may also be due to a combination of vāta and

pitta, vāta and kapba and pitta and kapha. Thus there are seven variations of bodily

troubles arising from (1) vāta, (2) pitta, (3) kapha, and a combi nation of (4) vāta and

19

pitia, (5) vāta and kapha, (6) pitta and kapha and (7) vāta, pitta and kapha.

The bodily diseases (śarīrottha) can be determined by considering the

strength of the 8th house, its lord, the planet aspecting or occupying it.

Anger, fear, sorrow, desires and such emotions bring about mental diseases.

They have to be determined by considering the relationship between the lords of the

5th

and the 8th

houses.

The diseases arising from known causes are curses, incantations and falls

from elevation. These should be ascertained from the 6th, its lord or the planet

aspecting the 6th or the planet occupying the 6th. If the lords of the 6th and 8th are

related, then the intensity of the diseases will be much. The diseases arising from

unknown causes should be known from the attack of evil spirits.
