Kaalpurush Kundli In Medical Astrology

Medical Astrology is an area which really fascinates me and I have a great interest in this. Our ancient scripture the Vamana Purana stated how the different signs of the zodiac were to be used as representing the different parts of a man’s body, this being the body of Lord Shiva – the KAALPURSH.

Kaal means time, and Purush means man. The Kaalpurush is therefore a representation of the man through time and its associated with imagining the body of a man being transposed over the whole of the zodiac signs, so that each limb, each part of the body falls into a particular zodiac house/sign. 

The Kaalpurush Kundli is massively Important when it comes to studying health & illness in a person’s horoscope – in my opinion! It is almost the ultimate roadmap to point you in the direction of making a useful prediction which may help the person to look into an area of concern before it is diagnosed medically, allowing the appropriate treatment to be planned before a problem gets to a worser condition.

If in a horoscope a certain house is afflicted then by using the Kaalpurush kundli you can determine what part of the body will result in an issue. You can judge the severity of the issue by looking at the strength of the house, and the strength of its lord and also that of the afflicting planet.

We can also use the knowledge of the general nature of the planets as to how they might affect the health of the person. For example:

• Sun afflictions will cause issues with vitality, energy, general immune system

• Mars afflictions likely to cause issues through accidents, fire related incidents, rash/infections, cuts with weapons or through surgery

• Saturn is a slow natured planet, so can give problems that are very slow to develop but are chronic

• Rahu affliction, represents issues of a sudden nature, could be related with poisons, mysterious and unexplainable diseases, things which the doctor may not be able to find

• Ketu again would be unexplainable illness, hard to detect, insect related, viruses, and resulting in the loss of something

• Jupiter when a functional malefic or severely afflicted can cause excess growth, enlargement of something which is unnatural

There is a lot of experience and research needed to apply medical astrology in the proper and correct manner, so we cannot jump to conclusions without doing analysis on a variety of factors in a chart. We must consider the strengths of the planets, the house, aspects from benefics and afflicters. Also the dasha the person is undergoing along with the transit planets impact will determine whether or not they will see the problem that’s indicated in their chart or not, in this lifetime
