Ayurveda, the science of life, is a holistic approach to healing that emphasizes balance. It shares a deep connection with Vedic astrology, as Ayurvedic remedies and preventive measures can be suggested based on horoscope analysist helps uncover potential health issues
Ayurvedic astrology, combines the ancient Indian system of Dosha imbalances and karmic effects. This approach aims to prevent potential health issues from becoming serious conditions and to address existing health concerns.
For example, an imbalance in Pitta can manifest as irritability, digestive issues, and inflammation.
Ayurvedic astrology uses the influence of planets to understand a person’s life journey, health, and way of living. It shows how to optimize health and destiny, karma and vitality, so that a person can realize their highest potential in life. Many Ayurvedic doctors use Vedic astrology or consult with Vedic astrologers, especially for difficult-to-treat cases.
The Ayurveda focuses on keeping the body, mind, and spirit in balance. It emphasizes that three doshas, or basic attributes, are primarily important, and that an imbalance in these doshas can lead to various diseases.
These doshas are: Vata (wind), Pitta (heat),and Kapha (phlegm)
In astrology, the Sun, Moon, and Lagna (ascendant) correspond to these doshas. Lagna deals with a person’s general strength and weakness, while the Sun deals with Pitta, and the Moon deals with Kapha.
Houses and the body parts
1st House: face, head and neck
2nd House: throat, right eye, domestic comforts
3rd House: arms, right ear, shoulders, sports
4th House: breasts, chest, lung, stomach, elbow joints
5th House: Belly, heart, liver, spleen
6th House: kidney, large intestine, uterus and anus.
7th House: private parts, uterus, glands
8th House: scrotum, pelvis, seminal vesicles, genitalia
9th House: Hips, thighs
10th House: knees, joints, bones, hairs and back
11th House; legs, left ear, ankle
12th House: feet, left eye, teeth
The logic of how and why each of the 12 houses (bhavas) has been assigned its significations has four major parts:
- life chronology correspondence,
- physical correspondence,
- Rashi correspondence and
- Relative Counting.
The 3 correspondence principles provide the foundation significations, whereas the relative counting principle extends the list to an almost limitless array of significations.
In the case of life chronology correspondence, the full span of life is mapped to the chart. The 12 houses correspond to various stages in life. The Ascendant corresponds to birth itself, the second house early childhood, etc. up to the 12th house which corresponds to death.
In the case of physical correspondence, the full body is mapped to the chart. The first house correspond
s to the part of our body that is born first (the crown of the head), the second house to the face, etc. up to the 12th house which corresponds to the feet.
