Good Health Indicators...4

One of the songs that I found on Internet which is good for meditation, if heard in low volume:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_M-xt__4XY


Following are also indicators of good health:

1. Moon and its association - If Moon is strong and without any malefic planet and only with benefic planets, good health in general is assured. If Moon has 2 benefic planets around it, the health will be better. You must  have heard the term, good mind drives good health, hence this formation!

2. Malefic planets in 3, 6 and 11 - These 3 houses, in general denote bad houses. But malefics, when present in these houses make the native stronger, capable of fighting with diseases, and give good immune system.

3. Strong Atmakaraka - Atmakaraka, is the planet in your chart which has advanced most degrees in its location or house where it is present. If the atmakaraka is exalted or in own house, it will be strong, hence assuring good health.

4. Strengh of Sun - Sun is naturally signifies your physical health. Hence, if is strong in your chart, it will promote your health.

Good Health Indicators...3

As indicated earlier, the Lord of ascendant is the most important planet for you! It is called the main planet and to read more about it see the following post:

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2009/12/your-main-planet.html

How does it influence your health? Here it goes:

1. If your ascendant lord is exalted or in own house, you will definitely have good health.

2. If is Vargottama, that is, it is located in same house in both D1 and D9 charts, it indicates good health in general.

3. If your ascendant lord is present in any of the following houses - 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11 you will enjoy general good health.

4. If it is present in a friend's palace (home), then also health will be good. If the ascendant lord is under aspect of friend(s) good health is assured.

5. If the lord of your ascendant is with benefic planets have their aspect, good health is prospected.

Good Health Indicators...2

The most important factor that governs your health is the health of your ascendant. Oh yes! The ascendant is single most important factor of good health! It is strong if you see following indications in one's chart:

1. Ascendant is Vargottama. It actually means that same number is written in House 1 for D1 (main chart) and the D9 (the Navmansa). For example, if your ascendant is Leo and ascendant in D9 is also Leo, then your ascendant is Vargottama and hence very strong!

2. Ascendant has benefic planets such as Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and Moon (of brighter half of month). This could be true even when the benefic is enemy to ascendant. E.g. in case of Leo ascendant Venus' presence will give good health. Also, if benefics occupy houses 5 and 9, they give good health. Also, aspect of benefics over ascendant helps a lot! 

3. When ascendant lord sits in ascendant or aspects it, the ascendant grows in strength. E.g Mars putting aspect on Scorpio ascendant (owned by Mars), from Leo (in 10th).

4. Presence of Rajyogas is another thing to consider. If one has several Rajyogas associated with ascendant, then good health is assured. E.g. for Virgo ascendant, if the Lord Mercury and Venus combine together in 10th house, good health is assured.

The 7th house is also called the Vyaya Sthan (the house of losses/expenditures). It corresponds to the native's inner self, ordeals underwent his whole life through, hidden enemies, and serious illnesses. It is related to places of confinement such as hospitals, prisons, convents, etc., and also includes solitude and major inner crises. 

The master of 12th must not be present in ascendant or 11th house, otherwise, the native suffers with deep losses in life, specially related to finances. If Jupiter is present in 12th house, the native will spend money in spiritual activities.

It is suggested that one must get married to someone who has most/major planets in one's 12th house. In that case your partner will be able to understand your hidden desires more easily. E.g. If someone is born with Virgo ascendant, he will have Leo as 12th house. So, he must get married to someone who has many planets or at least Moon in Leo. His partner will be able to understand him good!

The second house is the 2nd from ascendant when counted anti-clockwise.

The Houses of your Vedic chart...ascendant...2

The ascendant is considered most important house in a birth chart. The strength of ascendant and its Lord is considered utmost important when determining general success in life. A person with strong ascendant will be bold and very strong in keeping his opinions/views etc. If the ascendant lord is exalted or in own house the person will be strong physically. He will have success depending upon location of ascendant lord.

In general the ascendant signifies the following:

1. Your physical existence or your body. 

2. Your will power.

3. Your physical strength.

4. Your physical beauty.

5. Your head and hair. 
6. Brain, appearance, skin, sleep, longevity
7. Freedom from ill-health, longevity and old age
8. Ability to perform work

The ascendant must be considered a temple and hence the planets present in it must be considered deities of the temple. An inimical planet (planet that is malefic for the Lagna) must, preferably be not present in the ascendant. Following is the list of planets that are ascendants and the planets that are malefics/benefics to it:

Lagna	Benefics	Malefics
Aries (Mesha)	Sun, Jupiter	Mercury, Venus, Saturn
Taurus (Vrish)	Sun, Saturn	Moon, Jupiter
Gemini (Mithun)	Venus	Mars, Jupiter
Cancer (Karka)	Moon, Mars, Jupiter	Mercury, Venus
Leo (Sinha)	Sun, Mars, Jupiter	Mercury, Venus, Saturn
Virgo (Kanya)	Mercury, Venus	Moon, Jupiter, Mars
Libra (Tula)	Mercury, Venus, Saturn	Sun, Mars, Jupiter
Scorpio (Vrishchik)	Moon, Mars, Jupiter	Mercury, Venus, Saturn
Sagittarius (Dhanu)	Sun, Mars, Jupiter	Venus
Capricorn (Makar)	Mercury, Venus	Moon, Mars, Jupiter
Aquarius (Kumbh)	Mercury, Venus, Saturn	Sun, Mars, Jupiter
Pisces (Meen)	Moon, Mars, Jupiter	Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn

The planets that are present in ascendant will deliver their properties to the ascendant and hence influence the  native. For example, presence the Venus in ascendant will always make a native lover of beauty in general and also give the native a bent towards arts, similarly, Saturn will make native pessimistic and Sun will always keep the native in limelight. Hence, while judging a chart we must keep in mind these factors, besides the above malefic/benefic planets. 

The Houses of your Vedic chart...ascendant...1

I have discussed several topics and from today I will discuss the twelve houses of the vedic charts. Each of the 12 houses have their own significations and give results to the native based upon the location of master of the house. Most of the time, if the Lord of a house is present in center (houses 1,4,7,10) then the planet will give at least some good results to the native even if the planet is enemy/malefic for the ascendant. The same is true when the planet is present in trine (1,5,9). 

The first house is called the ascendant or Lagna. The Lord of the Ascendant is called the Main Planet (mukhya grah). Ascendant is the zodiac sign which rises in the east when the child is born. As per the North Indian Vedic Astrology, the planets move anti-clockwise in a chart, but the zodiac signs move clockwise. Hence, if at 8 AM in the morning Capricorn is rising then at 10 AM we might have Aquarius/Pisces rising (depending on time for Capricorn to completely rising). For more details on the main planet, visit the following link:
