The Prashna of Disease

– Praveen Juneja
Astrology and Medicine are both ancient forms of knowledge in

India. from times immemorial both have been a inseparable way of life
in India. Our Vedas and other ancient treatises which we have inherited
from our Rishis contains enormous amount of knowledge that establishes
that our ancestors used to combine the knowledge of both sciences.
Astrological guidance was sought for ailments, remedies, even for time
of taking medicines. Our ancient forefathers such as Aswini kumar, Vyasa,
Dhanvantari, Charak, Sushurata and many others have produced number
of works that are complimentary to both astrology and medicine with
only one motive of making mankind physically and mentally healthy, this
is summed up by following shloka of Yajurveda
"May I see for a hundred years, Live for a hundred years, hear for
a hundred years!"
"May I speak for a hundred years, Live in comfort and freedom for
a hundred years!!"
In this field the Horary Astrology has also been used with great
success, when a person falls ill his utmost concern is to get cured at
earliest. The anxiety to lead a happy & healthy life after contracting an
illness is foremost in the mind of a querist when this prashna is asked to
an astrologer. The presented article is about the prashna asked by a
querist in respect of disease which can further be subdivided into
combinations of
1) Early recovery/ early cure
2) Delayed recovery/complications in disease
3) Death in worst cases
4) Miscellaneous combinations in respect of disease
On this subject all the celebrated authors like Prithuyasha of
Shatpanchashika, Shri Padam Pad Suri of Bhuwan Deepak,
Bhattotpala of PrashnaGyan and many others of repute have in their
own way contributed in their treatise on Prashna. Here in all meaning of
21
Prashna
relevant shlokas will be tried to be incorporated to enable us to decipher

the prashna of disease in a simple & lucid manner.
The great Seer Shri Pad Suri has given us a most important
Sutra in his classic - Bhuvan Deepak "Moon is Seed, lagna is Flower,
Navamsha is fruit and the Bhava is taste. Answer to all prashnas falls
in ambit of this sutra. Moon holds the paramount importance in all the
prashnas, the condition of Moon - Its bala, its placement and its
association are the key to success of all the prashnas. The Kendras are also
of utmost importance in the question of disease. The ascendant is Doctor
or the person who is treating the patient; the 4th house is the treatment
that is being administered or the medicine being given to the patient;
the 7th house is disease in all its forms and 10th is the patient which
includes his cooperation, behavior & approach towards his disease. Role
of the 6th & 8th do comes into picture and their PACE with relevant
Kendras affects the outcome in a positive or negative way considerably.
Let us now classify the outcome of disease in the light of classics:
Early Recovery/ Early Cure
a) When the moon is strongly disposed in its exaltation sign, in its own
house, having good Paksha bala and has benefic aspects on it.
b) When the Moon is in the Upchaya houses and benefics occupy
quadrants, trines or 8th house.
c) If the lagna lord and the Moon are in Ithasala with a benefic then
the disease will be cured.
d) If the ascendant is occupied or aspected by benefics then also early
recovery because of the correct diagnosis by the doctor.
e) A single benefic strongly disposed in the Kendras protects & Cures.
f) The lagna lord itself being benefic- if strongly disposed in its
exaltation, own sign or Mool trikon sign placed in Kendras.
g) Benefics in 3, 6, 9, 11 houses give early respite from disease.
h) Benefics in 7th, 10th and 4th house of disease, patient & treatment.
i) If there be friendship between the patient & doctor i.e. Lagna Lord
& the 10th Lord; or between Treatment & disease i.e. 4th Lord &
7th lord.
j) If the 3rd house is aspected by the benefics or the by its lord then
the brother of the querist gets cured.
22
Prashna
k) If lagna lord & 8th lord both are placed in lagna in the same drekkan
then healthy body.
l) If Moon & Sun be conjunct with benefics within 4-7 days before
asking the question then also early recovery.
m) If a benefic disposed strongly & favorably aspects Moon then
patient recovers after some time.
Delayed Recovery/Complications in Disease

a) The Moon in paap kartari or unfavorably disposed & debilitated
complicates the disease.
b) Retrograde planet in Ithasala with Lagna lord or the Moon indicates
complications or relapse of disease.
c) Enmity between lagna lord and the 10th lord or 4th Lord and 7th
lord complicates the disease,
d) Malefics in the ascendant or the malefic aspect on it indicates the
complications due to wrong diagnosis by the doctor or this doctor
cannot treat the disease.
e) If the lords of the Kendras are retrograde then the disease will
relapse after initial recovery.
f) If malefic in 4th or 7th house then one complication may lead to
another.
g) If malefic are there in 10th house then the disease will be intensified
due to own fault of the patient.
h) If Lagna lord & Moon making an Ithasala with a benefic planet which
turns retrograde then the disease will reoccur.
i) If malefic are in Kendra or 8th Lord in Kendra then also problems
from the disease.
j) The disease will continue if Lagna Lord or Moon has Ithasala with
6th lord or is combust.
k) If lagna is in movable sign and Lagna lord is in the dwadwansha of
Sun then disease seems to come under control for a while but
aggravate again.
Disease Resulting Death of Patient

a) If malefic in 2nd, 7th and 12th houses and the Moon in Lagna, 8th or
23
Prashna
6th house then death of the patient can be predicted.

b) The Sun in Lagna and the Moon in 7th house or the vice versa that
is the question being asked on the day of Poornima.
c) Lagna lord in the 22nd drekkan from the drekkan of lagna.
d) Both lagna lord and the 8th lord placed in 8th house in the same
drekkan.
e) Lagna lord in the 8th house afflicted also shortens the life.
f) If lagna lord and the 8th lord are conjunct and are aspected by Moon
or by that lord is also not a good combination.
g) The Moon placed in 4th or 8th housed hemmed between malefic.
h) If lagna lord is placed in 4th house making Ithasala with Moon.

q) Lord of ascendant or lord of 8th House is in 8th house from Moon.
r) 8th lord or Lagna lord placed in Kendra making an Ithasala with a
planet in combustion or retrogression.
Miscellaneous Combinations
a) If the malefic in the apoklims - the disease is hereditary and being
cured by water or instrument.
b) If the ascendant is in fixed sign then some disease will be there for
a long time and preliminary diagnosis of disease is correct; if is in
24
Prashna
movable sign then the patient appears to have recovered but there
will be relapse of disease; if in dual sign then the disease will be
other than the suspected one and there will be another problem
afterwards.
c) If Moon is in Ithasala with a retrograde planet then it will be a
chronic disease.
d) If the Moon is in Ithasala with a slow moving planet, the disease will
first originate from blocking of urinary passage, more so if the planet
is Saturn and involvement of 6th house is there.
e) If the 3rd house is in 6th house in the Ithasala with 6th lord then the
brother of the querist has the disease indicated by that planet.
f) If the 6th lord is in the 3rd house or that lord is afflicted or combust
then also the disease can be predicted to the brother of the querist.
g) The house lord which is in Ithasala with the 6th or 8th lord placed in
6th house or otherwise will show the area of disease.
h) If a question is asked whether the native is suffering from a disease
or not then if the lagna lord or the moon is in Ithasala with 6th lord
or combust the answer is in affirmative otherwise not.
i) Prashna lagna also represents the querist suppose a son asks a
question about health of his mother the prashna lagna will also
represent son, this can be seen by the mutual interaction between
the Lagna lord and 4th lord.
