According to the Bhrusut Parashari hora shatra the whole universe is made of a 6material7 called Narayana. Out of it, only 1/8th part is perceivable by us and it is called asudeva. !he rest of "arayana cannot be perceived by ordinary mortals. #ach one of us represents microform of "arayana. !he entire $odiac is divided into 1% e&ual parts 'each of ()degrees* and each such part is called a rasi 'sign*.

In such cases the 7unda should be placed in trines/seventh to the <ord of <agna. !his is also seen to apply when the lagna lord is stronger than the lagna. iii* by machining the 8nown events li8e date and time of marriage with !P analysis of that year and ma8ing correction. iv* If not sure about date and time both use Nasta Jataka .addhati to calculate date and time, it is a very powerful tool to ma8e correction * Birth correction using physical appearance

Besides, some factors such as love, libido, and the emotions that are beyond the pale of empirical sciences, can easily be recogni$ed by the 8nowledge of Palmistry. a* It provides an early warning for forthcoming diseases, and one can prevent them early. b* It provides information about hidden diseases which remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed by doctors. c) It helps in the prognosis of diseases where doctors are unsure about it. d) Psychological ailments can be easily recogni$ed by the study of the palm. e* Palmistry has a maCor role in prevention of diseases. =ith its help and 8nowledge, a doctor can easily recogni$e the wea8ness of the system and advise the patient all relevant nutritional changes to prevent the disease from becoming severe. f* ;erious illnesses, accident and hospitali$ation can be avoided by guiding the person properly in the nascent stage. g* It is free from birth time correction which most of the horoscope do have. ii# +m)ortant )oints regarding "edical .almistry a) Earth Hand / ;usceptible to bowel or intestine problems. b) Air Hand / "ervous tension and lung problems. c) Fire Hand / Accidents and heart problems d) Water Hand / Allergies, nervous system and psychological problems. e) Thick Palm / !hic8, well padded palms denote a robust constitution. f) Thin Palms / !hin, fragile hands indicate a fragile constitution g) Markings On The Fingertips / ;hort dashes may indicate stress, while short vertical lines may indicate hormonal problems. h) Forefnger / Pituitary gland i) Middle Finger / Pineal gland j) ing Finger / Blood pressure k) !ittle Finger / !hyroid l) Health Markings " #slands On Heart !ineK beneath ;aturn may indicate hearing defects. m) !addered Heart !ine / beneath Apollo Hnger may indicate calcium imbalance n) $tar On !ine / star on heart line may indicate heart problems o) %iamondK a diamond attached to lifeline may indicate gynecological problems p) T&sslingK tussling of head or life line may indicate energy problems ') Fingernails $pecklesK imbalance of $inc r) (ertical idgesK intestinal problems s) Hori)ontal idgesK trauma t) Wrap Aro&ndK respiratory problems &) Fan $hapedK need to rela,

"e,t is the adrishta, or the invisible and ostensibly caused due to un8nown reasons. Problems related to evil spirits and li8e would also fall here. !he badha8 house and lord ta8e charge here. 5.3.A# "eaning of .lanets +n Vedic "edical Astrology !he planets as under govern the main systems in the human body "o.

Aupiter ?igestive 1. enus +eproductive >. ;aturn #,cretory Problems in any particular system in the human body are li8ely to be caused by the planet inimical to the ruler of that system. !he eJect of ;aturn, for instance, is virtually non/e,istent at birth and progressively goes on increasing with age. As a result any bone inCury in early years tends to heal immediately while a similar inCury in old age may prove stubborn and not heal at all sometimes. Aupiter is the naisargi8a 8ara8a for growth. 9ancer is unchec8ed growth of to,ic cells in the human body. It is indicative of Aupiter having become maleHc and having withdrawn its benign protection. According to Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, there are three basic humours that need to be in balance for the maintenance of health. Any imbalance in these three humours leads to bodily illness. !he technical terms for the three are aata, Pitta and 7apha. !he closest but inade&uate translation would be wind, bile and phlegm respectively. Accordingly the aata element produces LwindyG complaints, neurological disorders, Coint pains etc. !he Pitta is concerned with LheatG, in@ammations, fever, liver and gall bladder problems etc. !he 7apha element concerns with most of respiratory ailments, colds, asthma etc. Any mental level disease caused due to any one of the three humors can be cured with relative ease. On the other hand such a mental disease resulting out of a combination of two or more of the three humors cannot be addressed that easily and is 8nown as sannipatta. 5.3.=# Analysis of Rashi and 2ivisional 8harts for disease and remedies edic Astrology suggests two diJerent methods which can be used for native &uestion regarding health i# By using Natal chart K edic astrology suggest lot of tools for "atal chart analysis few important techni&ues are discussed here ii # By .rashna "araga It is a very powerful tool of answering to &uery by casting a honorary chart of that time. By 5se of !risphuta +ashi, "a8shatra and considering other rule answer of &uery regarding disease can be answered accurately a# rashi chart analysis for medical astrology i* E7nowledge of death, disease and illness is 8nown from the conception time, birth and Canma na8atra. If the disease starts from these na8atra 'ie. 9onception or natal moon star* then the danger of death should not be ruled out. Based on the -oon at the moment of start of a disease, the period of suJering can be ordained. Remedy: !he worship of the na8atra devat as the remedy for cure. If the e,act date/time of the star can be ascertained then the diety of the na8atra should be propitiated . ii* 1th, 8th and 11th houses are important when we are loo8ing at deceases. 11th is 1th from 1th also called 0ara ;thana B not an auspicious If any planet is connecting a dusthana with the A;9 it brings disease to the person / 8th lord in A;9 or 8th lord aspecting A;9. .iii* 8th house stands for troubles, tensions, sudden changes and even death. If +ahu in 8th house, its bad, means cheating and when +ahu is involved, it shows sudden shoc8. ?usthana B -rityu sthana. ;a in 8th house will show sadness. +a in 8th is not good for health overall. iv* Badha8asthana shows troubles for no logical reason. 2or movable '9hara* rasis, it is 11th house. 2or H,ed ';thira* rasis, it is 4th house. 2or dual signs, it is >th house. !roubles indicated by Badha8asthana cannot be diagnosed and there can be no cure v* !he lord of the %%nd ?esh8arna is the 7hRresa and can cause BRdha8a eJects i.e. can cause obstructions and activate the BRdha8esa and other evils. ?asa of lord of 8hara can cause problems during its dasa. vi* !risphuta rashi, "a8shatra, "avansha, are to be carefully analysed in both natal and pranshna marga analysis. vi* 7ara8a for physical vitality is ;u. ;u, -o aSiction with +a or 7e in ?1 is bad. It gives physical or mental troubles and ;u will represent digestive system and stomach. In this case propitiate ;u to strengthen him to Hght +a or 7e. vii* 5se aruda and argalas for disease analysis. A1 is also called roga pada viii* Asta8varga and ;ahams '?iJerent mathematical points* are also to be chec8ed for disease analysis. &# divisional charts useful in medical astrology
i# 2;= !4hastamsa#: a* !his chart is used to see health, enemies, and litigation. b* In Annual !ithi Pravesha chart if a planet is associated with 8th house 'both in rasi and ?/1*, that planetGs dasa will be bad for health. =hen there are three or more planets in a house the most beneHc planet will give the result of the most maleHc planet.

Planets in (rd house in ?/1 will Hght the diseases .ii# /oluka !4)ecial 4hastamsa# 7olu8a is a very important subdivision of the rashi. #ach rashi comprises si, 8olu8as of Hve degrees each. 7olu8as are associated with the dre88ana, i.e each dre88ana has two 8olu8as. !he eJect of the planets causing disease is relative to the dre88ana/8olu8a they are posited in. Planets in the Hrst dre88ana eJect the upper part of the body, mainly above the nec8, while those in the second dre88ana eJect the middle part of the body also 8nown as the trun8 and lastly the ones in the third dre88ana eJect the lower parts of the body. !he 8ey here is that planet in the Hrst 8olu8a in any dre88ana eJect the interior wor8ing of the concerned body part while a planet posited in the second 8olu8a of any dre88ana eJects the corresponding e,ternal organ. A typical e,ample would be a planet in the Hrst 8olu8a of the Hrst dre88an will have an eJect on the brain internally while the same planet posited in the second 8olu8a of the Hrst dre88ana will manifest its eJect e,ternally, maybe on the s8in of the s8ull or the hair etc. iii# +n 21=, if A;9 or 6th house has +a and 7etu, or 1th or 8th lord in 6th house, there can be some inclination to accidents, especially in the dasa of those houses
iv# 2;5> Trimsamsa a*. In spiritualism it is taught of a T;0A?O= ;#<2T called PAPAUP5+5;0A which is a re@ection of our own self, but the dar8er side which includes all the negative things we have done for ages and many births. !his is the trimsamsa..the shadowy world of our self. 0ence, the ;un and -oon do not own any trimsamsa as they have light. b*. All the bad things we have done for which we deserve to be punished or taught lessons. !he 1%th rules hospitals and is the :th '-antra* from the 8th '?iseases*. 0ence the 1%th house shows the way to get out of diseases and other such bad 8arma. It is the future ':th* of the 8th house. c*.

In this manner the houses should be studied. d*. !he 4th house '?harma* from the 8th house is the 6th house. !hus, happiness and laughter 'ruled by the 6th house* are the best natural medicine to get out of the cycle of disease and debt. e* A clean heart is the 8ey to happiness Q laughter. enus 'fulHlment of desires* gives happiness Q -ercury gives laughter. -oon is the natural signiHcator for the 6th house and becomes the 9ontrolling planet for good health and freedom from diseases. In this manner the planets should be studied. f* . !he Arudha pada of the si,th house gives the body part that shall be aSicted due to the diseases. g*. enus rules the -ritunCaya -antra and the strength of enus in this division is important for recovery from diseases. !he ;un and the -oon represent the Atma ';oul* and the -ana '-ind* respectively.

If the ending dates are close, then it can spell the end of life. iii) Balarishtha refers to infantile death ') to 1% years*. If this is destined, then the Aanma dasa itself can cause death Nogarishtha refers to teenage death around 1% to %) years age. If this is destined, then the ipat or third dasa can cause death Alpa Ayus indicates premature death within (1 years. If a few other life determining factors are strong, then this can be within 6) years. V-adhya Ayus refers to middle life where the longevity is from (1 to >% years.

If they are badly placed in the horoscope, then the person might suJer Hnancially in life. !hus their strength is e,tremely important in addition to the lords of second and eleventh, who signify =ealth and Income. #ach planet can give results on the following basis. 1. <ordship %. Placement (. "atural 7ara8atva ';igniHcations* 6. Noga '#,change, 9onCunction, Aspects* 0ence it must be remembered that a good planet 'lords of <agna, :th and 4th* / Noga/ 8ara8a if placed in a dusthana '1th / 8th/ 1%th*, they can also give maleHc results in addition to their inherent beneHc nature to do good. ;imilarly if the yoga8ara8as are involved in other bad yogas, they can give bad results, while their gemstones are worn. =henever there is a conCunction or e,change of two planets, their inherent and functional nature is greatly modiHed. =hen a beneHc planet comes into association with a maleHc planet, then the beneHc nature of the planet is corrupted and it starts giving maleHc results, however the maleHc planet gains out of the company and gives good results. ;uch subtle eJects should always be 8ept into consideration, while suggesting a gemstone for Ayotish remedial purposes. #,ception to this is that, if ;aturn becomes the Noga/ 8ara8a and is placed in a dusthana, then its ability to do good increases. It is advisable to wear "eelam, ;aturnGs stone for such cases. ii# -emstone of Feak .lanet If a yoga/8ara8a 'or any good planet in the horoscope, lords of any houses other than 1th/ 8th or 1%th* is debilitated, they must be strengthened. One of the ways is to wear the stone of the debilitated planet. 0owever, the more eJective way is to Hnd the planet who is causing neecha/bhanga to the debilitated planet. If the neecha/bhanga is happening with respect to the -oon, then -antra would be a good remedy, however, if it happens with respect to the <agna, then wearing the gemstone of the planet causing the neecha/bhanga would ma8e the debilitated planet come out of the state of debilitation. =hen there is no cancellation of debility of other wea8nesses then the gemstones for the supporters of the debilitated planet can be prescribed for causing cancellation of debility or for enhancing the life/forces that are being destroyed due to the debility. 2or e,ample, the -oon is debilitated in ;corpio '8th house of natural $odiac* and is said to be -A+A"A 7A+A7A if placed in the 8th house from <agna. =ea8ness of such -oon, in any chart is not good for longevity. 0ence a blue sapphire is used for enhancing the life/force. It must be noted that debilitation of some planets are desirable in a horoscope. !hey are the lords of the ?usthanas '1th/ 8th/ 1%th*. If the lords of the ?usthanas are placed in other ?usthanas in debilitation, then it confers ipareeta raCa yoga, whereby the native gains due to the loss of natural and functional signiHcations of the planet causing the yoga. 2or e,ample, if 8th lord -oon is involved in ipareeta +aCa yoga, by its debilitation in the 1%th house, the native might enCoy rise in life, but the -other 'natural signiHcation of -oon* and the marriage '8th house is the longevity of marriage* might suJer simultaneously. !o enCoy the fruits of ipareeta +aCa yoga, the native must not strengthen such debilitated planets that confer the yoga. iii# Vi)reeta Ratna ! 0))osite -emstone# ipareeta means opposite or gemstones used for wea8ening the eJects of some planets in certain houses. If any house is occupied by an enemy of its 7ara8a, then the signiHcations of the house suJer. 7eeping this principle in view, the Hrst house to be chec8ed in any chart is the ninth house of fortune and ?harma with Aupiter Q ;un as the signiHcator. +ahu and ;aturn are the enemies of these signiHcator and if they are placed in the ninth house, they shall damage fortune and ?harma. !he remedy is to strengthen the concerned 7ara8a by wearing its gemstone in the ring Hnger. ;u8a "adi states that if +ahu is in the ninth house, then the native has good fortune after wearing a !opa$. !he same principle of ipareeta +atna 'Opposite 3emstone* has been used here. +ahu is the enemy of Aupiter and since it is placed in the ninth house, the use of a !opa$ 'gemstone of Aupiter* removes the misfortune caused by +ahu. ;imilarly, if ;aturn is in the ninth house, then the person may suJer from poverty/ failure in the homeland after (1 years. !o remove this evil, a ruby, the gemstone of the ;un ';aturnGs enemy* is worn. iv# -emstone Vs 2asha 0ands in which the gemstones are worn to be chosen on the basis of certain criteria. !he right hand is ruled Aupiter and the left hand by enus indicating increase 'right hand* or decrease 'left hand* of life force. !hus, if gemstones have to be prescribed to decrease the evil eJects of a maleHc planet, its gemstone should be used in the left hand. ;uch use should be temporary covering the dasa/bhu8ti of the planet. =hen the planet is a maleHc for the horoscope, the maleHcence of the planet can be reduced by wearing a counter gemstone temporarily during the ?asa/ bhu8ti of the planet. If instead a gem is to be worn for the main ?asa planet itself, then it should be worn in the left hand. 2or e,ample, if +ahu is maleHc then during its period a Nellow ;apphire/!opa$/9itrine can be worn in the right hand ring Hnger or 0essonite/Brown !ourmaline etc can be worn in the left hand middle Hnger. v# Elawed -emstone A genuine gemstone of good &uality should never be used with an imperfect or @awed gem or with one that is astrologically incompatible with it. ;uta 3oswami '3aruda Purana* advises Enot to wear a gem that is of inferior &uality or incompatible even if it is set together with the divine 7austhuba -ani of ishnu. Aust as the best of saints lose their merits by bad company, similarly, an imperfect/inferior or incompatible gemstone can ruin the beneHcence of other good gems. vi# -emstone and 9agna 9ord 2or determining compatibility of gemstones most astrologers go by the "aisargi8a ;ambandha 'natural relationship* of other planets with the stone of the principal/ruling planet. !he +uling Planet is the strongest one in trines to the <agna or in the seventh house '1,:,> Q 4 houses*, and if none are there, then the <agna lord is chosen. !hus if the ruling planet is the -oon, then all planets are compatible with it, but if it is the ;un, then only Aupiter, -ars Q -oon are compatible and their stones can be chosen. ;ince the <agna is the controller of the 0oroscope, the impact of the 3emstone ultimately falls on the <agna 'more so, since <agna is the controller of the physical body, where the gemstone is worn*. !he planets, whose gemstone is worn, should be a friend to the <agna lord as per the naisargi8a sambandha. If any planet is inimical to the lord of <agna, the use of its gemstone can damage / endanger the concerned people related to the house owned by the planet. 2or e,ample if the lord of the Hfth house is inimical to the <agna lord, then the use of a gemstone of the Hfth lord can endanger the life children. 0ence utmost caution should be used in prescribing gemstones. vii# Naisargika 4am&andha of .lanets ;ome astrologers also use !at8ali8a ;ambandha '9urrent relationship* between planets in a chart as this also ta8es the individual horoscope into focus. 0ere, the planets that are Param -itra, -itra or ;ama to the ruling planet are chosen for supportive gemstones. Among all the methods of Cudging the suitability of a 3emstone namely, the naisargi8a sambandha, tat8ali8a sambandha and other sambandha, the best and most beneHcial gemstones are those of the planets involved in a beneHcial Noga. If the tenth and ninth lord are involved in a ?harma/7armadhipati Noga, then their stones should be used together to augment the eJects of the Noga. 3emstones of planets involved in ?uryoga and other maleHc combinations or where beneHts accrue if the planets are wea8 and aSicted li8e the ipareeta +aCyoga, should never be used. i# -emstones of "utually +nmmical .lanets. 3emstones of mutually inimical planets should never be used simultaneously as they shall prove to be very adverse. -any astrologers give gemstones of mutually inimical planets such as 0essonite '+ahu* with +uby ';un* or Nellow ;apphire 'Aupiter* or +ed 9oral '-ars*. ;uch combinations can be e,tremely dangerous for the native. !he natural Hght between the owners of the gemstones can be visible in the life of native, where we can witnessM the native is caught between many undesirable circumstances without his fault. !he table shown below shows the natural relationships between the planets. %# Eingers and -emstone !he inde, Hnger is called !arCani and is considered very inauspicious. In mantra recitation the beads should never touch this Hnger, even while turning the rosary 'when we Hnish one circle of 1)8 beads*. It rules the EAham8araF and is the Hnger of EfallF or e,pression of anger. !he 3yana -udra has all Hngers e,cept this inde, Hnger stretched out with the inde, Hnger 'of anger* being in touch with and controlled by the A8asha !attva of the !humb. "ormally for people who are spiritual / worship their 3uru, gemstones should not be used in this Hnger. ;ome astrologers prescribe +uby / Nellow ;apphire for Power / =ealth respectively, for use in the inde, Hnger. 0owever these gemstones have been found to give better results of stable power and gradual stable growth in Hnance in the ring Hnger. Tatwa in .almistry !he gemstone of a planet placed in a house should be worn according to the &uadrant '7endra house* is whose trines it is placed. !hus a planet in the ninth house in@uences the ?harma !ri8ona and its gemstone should be worn in the ring Hnger. 3emstones of planets in -o8sha !ri8ona '6, 8, 1%* should not be prescribed as then they would be worn in the !arCani 'Inde, Hnger*. Instead mantra of these planets should be advised. 2urther gemstone cannot be worn in the Hnger of inimical elements. 2or e,ample, if a +ed 9oral is to be worn for -ars placed in the seventh house, this cannot be prescribed for the little Hnger due to -ars ruling Agni !attva 'Hre element*, which is opposed to the ayu !attva 'Air element*. !hus a 9oral can only be worn in the ring Hnger 'Agni !attva / 2ire* or middle Hnger 'Prithvi !attva / #arth*. Aust as the thumb is diJerent from the other four Hngers and in conCunction with them does all wor8, the A8asha !attva '#ther elementBsymboli$ed by the !humb* permeates all signs of the other elements and is the driving force / ?hi ;ha8ti. k# -emstone and Arudha 9agna ;ince the gemstones are ta8en for fulHlling the material pursuits in the life than anything else, the arudha lagna plays a very vital role in selection of the gemstones. Arudha <agna shows the image in this world or in other words, the perception of the world related to the native. !his is the material manifestation of the e,istantial reality of a person. -aharishi parashara says that planets in the twelfth of Arudha <agna 'A<* can show the sources of e,penditure, while that in the 11th from the A< show the sources of Income. #ven though the promise of the wealth can be seen from diJerent dhana yogas in the horoscope and the strength of the %nd, 11th and the trines, the sources and the &uantum of the gains or losses can be seen from the Arudha. !hus, it is very important to consider the placement of Planets with respect to the Arudha <agna for Hnal selection of an 3emstone. !he following guidelines can help in such CudgementK 1. If a planet is placed in or aspecting the 1%th from the Arudha <agna, the gemstone for such planet can increase the e,penditure of the native. -aleHcs are well placed here as it confer raCayoga while placed here in addition to the e,penses shown. 0owever one must remember that planets placed here shows the persons who would secretly oppose the native in various activities. ;o the gemstones of such planets to be chosen after careful consideration of all factors involved. %. !he gemstone of a planet placed in or aspecting the 11th from Arudha <agna shall give income from the sources indicated by the planet. !he sources can be 8nown by Cudging both the functional as well as natural signiHcations of the concerned planet. (. !he %nd and >th house from the Arudha <agna are the houses of sustainance of the Image. !hey should be occupied by beneHcs or e,alted planets. If they are occupied by maleHcs, the gemstones of such planets can cause fall of image and troubles in career and various other troubles. In addition the planets in the >th from Arudha lagna shows the persons who would openly oppose the person in various activities, and this is more true with respect to the -aleHcs. !hus if beneHcs are placed in the >th from the Arudha <agna, their gemstones can be given, provided the native can withstand the opposition shown by the concerned planet. 6. !he planets in the Arudha <agna shows how the world perceives the native. !he presence of -oon or Aupiter in the Arudha <agna gives long lasting fame. !hey should otherwise be placed with beneHcs or e,alted planets and gemstones of such -oon, Aupiter, beneHcs or e,alted planets can be beneHcial to the native, otherwise it can be harmful. ;imilarly the lord of the Arudha <agna should ideally be well placed in either e,altation, mulatri8ona, own house or friends house. If gemstone of such planets is worn, it would beneHt the native by uplifting his image. If such planet is in fall or unfavourably placed, then the gemstone of the planet, countering the evil has to be worn 'please refer to relevant section for more information on this* :. -aleHcs in the (rd or 1th gives material success whereas beneHcs in these places ma8es the person spiritual, unless they are debilitated. !hus wearing the gemstones of the maleHcs placed in (rd or 1th can help in fulHlment of obCectives and gaining over all odds. 0owever, maleHcs in the (rd from A< can be detrimental to the health and longevity, thus while prescribing the gemstones, one need to consider this factor as well. 1. !he eighth house is also very crucial in a way that it controls the longevity of the person. -aleHcs placed over there can harm the health of the person and also the image. ;tones of such maleHcs placed there should never be worn. >. All planets either be beneHcs or maleHcs give good results and Hnancial gains while placed in the 4th house from the arudha <agna. 5nless any other adverse yogas e,ist, gemstone of such planet would be beneHcial to the native. 8. 1)th house shows the impact of a planet in the nativePs career. BeneHcs are best suited here and maleHcs are prohibited. 2or e,ample, if ;aturn is placed in such 1)th, then the career becomes a bed of thorne for the native. & # use of -emstone for 2iesease In ancient edic te,ts, li8e the *rihat $amhita, the origin and healing powers of various gems are discussed.
