The universe is always in a state of flux, which keeps rapidly changing every moment with related bearing all around, and which propels the process of change even on planet earth. That makes the world transient, where every existence is subject to decay and disintegration. In the process, we often encounter ailments, some of them seasonal in nature, many a times because of physiological degeneration. This is a common feature faced by a large majority. But medical science has grown so much that majority of diseases are treatable. Some of them may not be curable, but they can be managed efficiently as in case of diabetes and blood pressure.
Despite that, many people, when faced with ailment come under great stress, and suffer more than due, particularly the weaklings. They develop a sense of fear and insecurity about future. What is most startling is that even those having a swaggering ego, who otherwise are supposed to be overconfident, are also found coming under stress. They keep asking within, why me?
Recently someone seeking guidance asked: “How long I am going to survive in this world? I have a long history of ailments, though all successfully cured. I had enough of it and can’t bear any more.” Wrong question, I countered. “Why wrong? Astrology as a discipline should know my length of life. Be straight, I can digest even the worst. What then should be the right question in your opinion?” The person asked.
Well, the right question would be how is going to be your health status here onwards. And let me assure you that despite your long medical history, you will now enjoy a relatively healthier life. “Your words seem assuring, but it is difficult for me to digest. Do you know what I have gone through so far?” He countered. Well, the very look at lagna lord Sun (natural health signifier) being debilitated speaks of low immunity, and you are mentally weak. Lagna sub-lord Mercury occupies the lunar constellation of Rahu, the 6th sub-lord. Such a close linkage of the lagna and 6th cusps clearly speaks of a fragile health. That makes you vulnerable to health issues. About susceptibility of probable health concerns, 6th sub-lord Rahu tenanted in the nakshatra owned by 9th lord Mars there itself indicates back and spinal cord related issues. Mars is also the 4th lord, which when read together with 6th sign lord Saturn and its nakshatra lord Moon, both occupying the 4th house, makes breast cancer probable. Rahu in Virgo sign is indicative of improper gut movement. Venus, the 3rd lord conjunct Rahu, and in exchange with Mercury points to nasal related issues. If a look at 6th house indicators speaks of probable health vulnerabilities, the 5th and 11th houses promise recovery. You have now entered Jupiter dasha, the 5th lord, and therefore, your health status will improve. Now it is for you to believe or not.
“If you can so precisely indicate health vulnerabilities, you should be able to throw light on my expected life span also.” He asked. Well, if you look at the cardinal principles of Astrology, destiny can’t be defined in finite terms, it shows probability. Astrological analysis is based on three factors – Desha (Environmental condition), Kala (destiny), and Patra (personality trends). Your destiny, thus, is subject to two variables – Desha and Patra. Recent pandemic has taught us how badly environmental condition can upset ongoing trends. The world came to a standstill and all astrological predictions went haywire. You must be aware that the average life span of Indians was below 50 years when we gained independence. As of now, it has grown above 70 years. Would it mean that destiny of Indians has changed. No. Medical science has grown enough to take care of your ailments. Even people have become more health conscious. The personality trend defines how you negotiate the callings of life – face challenges in stride or sulk under pressure.
