🩺 Planetary Diagnosis
The Sun is the "Karaka" (Significator) of vision. If the Sun is weak, debilitated (Libra), or under the influence of Saturn/Rahu, it causes Headaches and Weak Eyesight.
If Venus is in the 2nd or 12th house, or afflicted by the Sun, it leads to Cataracts (Motiyabind). Venus rules the lens and beauty of the eye.
If the Moon is with Mars or Sun in bad houses (6, 8, 12), or if Venus & Mercury are together in Trik houses, it causes Night Blindness (Rataundhi).
If Mars is the lord of the 6th house and sits in Lagna, Aries, or Scorpio, it causes Watering Eyes, Boils, or Pimples inside the eye. Mars with Saturn can cause accidents leading to eye loss.
- Webs/Warts: Sun or Moon with Mars in bad houses causes webs (Jala) or warts in the eyes.
- Childhood Issues: If 2nd or 12th Lord is with Sun/Rahu in debilitated signs, eye issues start in childhood.
- One-Eyed (Kana): Severe affliction of Sun, Moon, and Saturn by Mars can lead to the loss of one eye in an accident.
- Surya Arghya: Every morning at sunrise, offer water to the rising Sun from a Copper Vessel. This is the most powerful cure.
- Chakshushopanishad: Recite the Chakshushopanishad (from Krishna Yajurveda) daily. It is a specific prayer for restoring vision.
- Sunday Fasting: Keep a fast on Sundays and avoid salt to strengthen the Sun.
- Gemstones: Wearing Ruby (Manikya) or Garnet can help, but only after consulting an astrologer.
- Charity: Donate copper, wheat, or jaggery on Sundays.
