Key Takeaway
Which house indicates disease in Astrology? The 6th House is the primary house of disease (Rog), debt, and enemies. The 8th House indicates chronic/long-term illness and surgery, while the 12th House indicates hospitalization.
What disease does Saturn cause? Saturn (Shani) causes chronic ailments, arthritis, bone issues, paralysis, and diseases caused by Vata dosha.
What disease does Rahu cause? Rahu is responsible for undiagnosed diseases, allergies, cancer, and phobias.
Which planet causes heart problems? The Sun (Surya) represents the heart; its affliction, especially in the 4th house, can lead to heart issues or BP.
Medical Astrology (Rog Jyotish) is the science of predicting health issues through the birth chart. Just as a doctor scans your body, an astrologer scans your 6th, 8th, and 12th houses to find the root cause of illness.
🏥 The 3 "Danger" Houses (Tri-Rina)
In your Kundli, these three houses control your health destiny:
🪐 Planetary Disease Agents (Rog Karaka)
When these planets are weak or afflicted, they trigger specific systems in the body:
(लंबी बीमारी, लकवा)
(विषाक्तता, एलर्जी)
(रक्त विकार, चोट)
(मानसिक रोग, कफ)
(हृदय, नेत्र)
(नसों की बीमारी)
⚠️ The 5 Golden Rules of Prediction
How do we know if you will get sick? Here are the 5 core principles (Niyam):
If a Malefic Planet (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu) sits in the 6th House AND looks at your Ascendant (Lagn) or Moon, illness is highly likely.
If the Lord of the 6th House is Debilitated (Neech) or sitting with bad planets, the disease becomes Chronic (repeats often).
Any planet that goes into the 6th, 8th, or 12th house will cause disease related to that specific planet.
Ex: Venus in 6th = Kidney/Reproductive issues.
If the Moon is trapped by Saturn or Rahu, it leads to Depression, Anxiety, or Psychosomatic disorders (Manasik Rog).
Disease strikes when the Dasha (Period) of the 6th/8th Lord runs, OR when malefic planets transit through these houses.
