Moon in Medical Astrology: Malefic Effects by Signs and Houses

 In Vedic medical astrology, the Moon governs:

• Mind and emotions

• Fluids in the body (blood, lymph, plasma)

• Sleep, fertility, digestion, and hormonal balance

• Body Fluids: Blood circulation (fluid part), lymph, and glandular secretions.

• Digestion: The lining of the stomach and nutrient absorption.

• Mental Health: Anxiety, depression, and sleep patterns.

• Female Health: Menstrual cycles, breasts, and fertility.
  
  
  A strong Moon ensures emotional resilience and physiological harmony. But when afflicted—especially as lord of the 6th or 8th house—it can trigger chronic, hidden, or psychosomatic disorders.

SUN in Medical Astrology - Diseases by Zodiac Signs and Houses

 In Vedic medical astrology (Ayur-Jyotisha), the Sun (Surya) is the supreme karaka (significator) for vitality, the soul (Atma), and overall health. As the source of life force (Prana Shakti), it governs the heart, eyes, bones, spine, blood circulation, and immune system. An afflicted Sun—through weak placement, malefic aspects (e.g., from Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu), or combustion—can indicate chronic ailments, fevers, or vitality loss. Conversely, a strong Sun (exalted in Aries or in its own sign Leo) bestows robust health and resilience.

This synthesis of astrology and Ayurveda, as explored in texts like Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and Charaka Samhita, helps predict predispositions to diseases. The Sun's position in signs and houses reveals specific vulnerabilities, but always consider the full chart, aspects, dasha periods, and Navamsa (D-9) for accuracy. Afflictions amplify risks, while benefics like Jupiter mitigate them.

As detailed in foundational works like Astrology Guide for Everyone: Basics & Principles of Jyotisha by Suripeddi Koundinya, understanding these placements empowers preventive remedies through mantras, gems (e.g., ruby for Sun), and lifestyle adjustments.
