MEDICAL ASTROLOGY CASE STUDY 6- HEART HEALTH

I have already explained in my previous blogs and in more detail in my book “THE ROOT CAUSE- AYURVEDA ASTROLOGY AND BEYOND FOR A BLISSFUL LIFE” (links to procure the book mentioned below at the end of blog), that how Astrology employs all the principles of Ayurveda and how planets/zodiacs and their aspects/degrees etc. can be explained through Ayurveda. This blog is to share another case history of medical astrology (apart from those already shared earlier in blog and book) explaining that how simple it is to analyse health issues through one’s birth chart and cure them instead of getting into the vicious circle of Allopathic medicines/procedures and their side effects in the long run (this is not to say that Ayurvedic medicines cannot have ill effects if used indiscreetly).

Here we go (remember before proceeding that I shall be confining discussion to primarily medical astrology though not completely and may not be able to use all the principles like Bhav Bhavesh Karak to keep the blog short and crisp):-

The native in the year 2018 end, had to get pacemaker installed in heart as native’s heart beat had slowed down to 40 beats per min as against an average of 72. It may come as a surprise to many because native’s heart appears to be quite strong from the chart because of presence of Mars and Sun. Actually here, the issue lies with the eighth house having Jupiter in its MT sign showing that native’s in laws must be consuming high Kapha foods like non veg affecting native’s eating habits which got confirmed on ground (before the marriage, the native was a pure vegetarian- Saturn in first house that too very close to Lagna’s degree, is a strong indicator of that). Thus 7th aspect of a very strong Jupiter on 2nd house and also 9th aspect on 4th house was leading to thickening of blood (due to weak activity of thyroid) and slowing down of heart respectively.  Moreover Sun of the native falls in Ketu’s Nakshatra indicating that while on one side, Mars will expand this chakra, ketu’s conditions will contract it leading to slowed down pulse. The result was very low pulse in the person during Jupiter’s antardasha (being cold in nature) which further slowed down during Saturn’s antardasha that pushed the person to approach modern medicine which implanted pacemaker in the heart. Furthermore, this incident took place during mercury’s Mahadasha and had the person been passing through Sun’s, Mar’s or Rahu’s Mahadasha then this wouldn’t have happened with the native, however Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Moon and even Ketu are cold in nature. As such we know that Pitta goes down with age.

*** In chalit chart of the native, Ketu is parked in 2nd house, which again shows tendency towards closed throat chakra. This dosha got further compounded as first house lord i.e. Venus is closely associated with Ketu, further adding Vata to an already Vata personality due to presence of strong Saturn in first house. Moreover, native’s Ketu is in Jupiter’s nakshatra and Jupiter in Ketu’s thereby adding more Kapha and constriction.

Treatment/Cure

Overall what the native needed instead of pacemaker was to increase Pitta through exercises and by having Pungent spices (ginger, black pepper etc) and reduce Kapha foods especially non veg and heavy veg foods like curd etc. and white foods like salt, rice etc., which also increase water retention till such time the situation normalizes. Native would also need to recite Beej Mantra of throat and heart to activate sluggish thyroid and heart. The simultaneous and essential aim should be to get rid of pacemaker as pacemaker’s job is stimulate heart by supplying electrical signals to it through the battery. However in the long run, it has several serious side effects as it only increases Pitta of the heart but not of the entire body resulting in the person not changing one’s lifestyle and eating habits thereby thickening the blood and causing issues like pain, angina, dizziness, fainting (as thick blood stops reaching the brain), dry mouth, eating disorders etc.
