Vedic astrology goes far beyond predicting events — it also plays a key role in understanding our health and physiology. Each of the 12 zodiac signs (Rashis) governs specific body parts, is ruled by a planet, and corresponds to a dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha). By studying a person’s chart, astrologers can gain insight into potential health vulnerabilities and strengths.
