In astrology, health is analyzed using a combination of planets, houses, signs, and aspects. Each planet and house rules specific parts of the body and types of health issues. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
House | Relevance to Health | Key Points |
---|---|---|
1st House (Ascendant) | Physical body, vitality, overall health | A strong Ascendant and its lord gives good health. |
6th House | Illness, disease, enemies, immune response | Malefics here can indicate chronic issues, but also fighting spirit. |
8th House | Longevity, accidents, sudden illness, surgeries | Hidden/chronic diseases, psychological health |
12th House | Hospitalization, sleep, mental health, chronic diseases | Also shows isolation and recovery periods |
