Astrology & Ayurveda

Medico Astrology

In ancient sciences, especially in Vedic Sciences Jyotisha (Astrology) has been given a special importance! Usually we look at Jyotish to see our past – present or future events!!

Astrology has been based on the mathematical calculation with reference to movement of planets and stars, with mention of specific rules. So it can be accepted as a scientific discipline. Here at Ayurveda4You Research Foundation, we are trying to make use of this Jyotish in a bit different way.

Since “Jyotish” was contemporary branch of Vedic Sciences as that of Ayurveda, it is believed that there seems to have great linkage between these two master pieces of ancient Vedic sciences i.e., Ayurveda and Jyotisha.

Introduction

There are Nine Planets (as per ancient literature in Jyotish), which has got a capacity to rule over your life. They are as follows:
Sun (Surya) Mercury (Budha)
Moon (Chandra) Jupiter (Guru)
Mars (Mangal) Venus (Shukra)
Saturn (Shani) Rahu
Ketu  
They occupy different places in our Natal chart (Janma Kundali). According to their specific location in natal chart, they decide several factors with reference to our life viz.
(a) Our Nature Swabhava and Prakruti
(b) Behavior  
(c) Disorder Roga/Vyadhi
(d) Luck  
(e) Destiny and so on  
By looking at ones natal chart one can predict several things with special reference to Ayurveda as well. Here, now we are trying to put a short introduction to such ares of co-relations. Ayurveda strongly believes that the entire universe is made up of or of Panchamahabhootas (i.e., five basic elements) namely:
  • Aakash (Space)
  • Prithvi (Earth)
  • Vayu (Air)
  • Jala (Water)
  • Agni (Fire)
A: Since Jyotish is a contemporary branch of Vedic Sciences, it also accepts the therapy of Panchamahabhootas. Therefore the Nine Planets about whom we have discussed before can also be co-related with there five basic elements and they are as follows:
No. Planets Panchabhautic Component
1 Sun Fire (Teja)
2 Moon Water (Jala)
3 Mars Fire (Teja)
4 Mercury Earth (Prithvi)
5 Jupiter Water (Jala)
6 Venus Air (Vayu)
7 Saturn  
8 Rahu  
9 Ketu  
B: Planets & Vital Tissues (Dhatus)

There is reference available wit specific respect to the co- relation of planets and the Vital Body Tissues (Dhatus) of the Human Body, in other words, one can say there exist a reference of planets governing a specific type of dhatu (Vital Tissues). As per Ayurvedic text, these dhatus are considered to be an important component of forming of body (Sharira); as it is rightly said, defined as “Deha Dharanat Dhatavah”. They are seven in numbers and surprisingly each of them (except some of them) has been co-related withy the planet. There is a mention of three component which are not actually comes under the category of Dhatus but Updhatus as per Ayurvedic text. It will be quite interesting to go through this important linkage:

Planets Dhatus/Updhatus
Sun Asthi (Bones)
Moon Rakta (Blood)
Mars Majja (Bone Marrow)
Mercury Twacha (Skin)
Jupiter Vasa (Adipuse Tissue)
Venus Shukra (Semen/Sperm)
Saturn Snayu (Muscle)
Rahu  
Ketu  
 

C: Planets and Precious Stones Unlike in Jyotish, Ayurveda also describes the various factors and information regarding Precious Stones and its utility in a medication. So, we have Praval pishti that of Pearl, Trinakant mani pisti and so on. Apart from these herbs usage in Ayurveda, it will also interesting thing to note, that usage of these stones are also recommended in a form of ornament wearing.
