Astrological charts do not show the physical body directly.

Rather, Jyotisha reads the astral plane.

Geometric patterns between the seven massive planets and various energy points in earth's local system, form a map of the human body's astral plane.

The subtle particles of the astral plane, unless consciously interrupted, will by nature percolate "down" into the interstitial spaces between the larger particles which compose the material plane.

Keep in mind that whatever fleshly health conditions are revealed in the astral map, these conditions can be altered through accepting conscious responsibility ( without guilt) for the karma and releasing attachment to it.

Tara

Om Tare Tutare Ture Svaham (Tib: So Ham)

[U-Chan mantra courtesy of www.lamamigmar.com ]

Above = the core mantra of Tara, the Mother of all Buddhas. (Printed U-Chan Tibetan script above, Roman character transcription below.)

• Ta-ra = "sparkling tear" or "star".

• It may bring comfort to those in need of healing (i.e., everyone!) to chant the mantra of Mother Tara the Greatest Healer.

• Many are also comforted by visual memory of the Mother's energy, such as represented in the beautiful thangka of Green Tara below.

Returning to healthy balance:

• Just as lifelines in the palm can grow longer or shorter, responding to conscious changes in lifestyle, so can the disease-causing imbalances be returned to balance, through conscious decisions that support true health.

Sleepwalkers and the victim state:

Most people are sleepwalking. Sleepwalkers will experience the "system default". The default perceptual framework is created by astral (sub-conscious) action-reaction patterns accrued over lifetimes.

The 'default' repeating reactive patterns will continue to percolate into the interstitial spaces of the material plane, uninterrupted by conscious change.Sleepwalkers continue to experience the victim state. As Trulshig Rinpoche often says, "That's just how it is."

The good news: Those few with sufficient consciousness can in fact alter the effects of past-life karma in real-time.

But be warned: it takes humility, willpower, and commitment to do authentic all-body healing work.

Due to the fundamental structure of the universe, finer energies gravitate downward into grosser forms.

• Energy originates in spiritual form (with God), percolates down to the mental form, from the mental to the emotional and psychic (astral) form, and last - but definitely not least! - to the physical form.

• In general, problems originating at higher levels may be solved at higher levels without directly impacting your physical body. But problems neglected on spiritual, mental and emotional planes will unfortunately percolate down to physical dis-ease, imbalance, on the material plane. Physical Dis-ease is the RESULT of imbalances higher up.

• Ayurvedic medical practitioners can use the Jyotisha charts to guide their diagnosis. Tibetan lama physicians also study astrology during their medical training, and rely on Tibetan Astrological charts to guide and supplement their understanding of the patient's total condition

• Historically, in civilizations where medical treatment systems have evolved far enough to consider the effects of mental, emotional, and psychic experience on the patient's physical health, astrology - a key to reading psychic or astral body energy configurations - has been considered an adjunct medical science.

• Most questions about health can be answered by assessing Ari Bhava, the rashi 6th house. However, the lagna (ascendant), 3rd, 8th, and 12th houses all play a role in health "problems." Further, planetary aspects and rulerships can be critical in easing or exacerbating health conditions.

Most common disease agent is lord of the domain-6.

Health itself is found in house-7, the house of contracts, agreements, relationships, and BALANCE.

House-6, as 12th-from-7th, shows the loss or dissolution of matters of house-7. Not only is house-6 the container for marital conflict (loss of marriage balance), poverty (loss of business agreements) and debt (loss of financial balance) but very importantly house-6 shows loss of the body's internal balance.

Health is a state of equilibrium. To know health, to be healthy, the physical body must be in a balanced relationship with the astral body and causal body. (Or if you prefer another energy-body model, whatever metaphysical system appeals to you, the various energy bodies must be in harmonious balance to enjoy health.)

Within the physical body itself, are a variety of exceptionally complex internal systems - pumps, pipes, membranes, networks - which must all cooperate and support each other. If one internal system weakens, the rest receive extra stress and the long-term imbalance becomes unsustainable.

So, disease is the result of loss of balance. The seventh house will indicate your natural state of balance. Strong planets in house-6 show past-life karma that unconsciously but compulsively detracts from your state of balance. By studying the relationship between your 6th and 7th radix houses, it is possible to see where the psychic imbalances are, where the harmony gets drained off by internal conflict. If house-6 is clear, yet the 7th house is troubled, there may be work to do in your marriage and partnerships.

But very predominantly the serious health challenges - which most of us face at some time in our lives - originate in house-6, with the radix-6th-lord, and various drishti upon the lord and His house.

Navamsha role of L-6 which shows the subconscious attitude toward imbalances, the D-30 Trimshamsha showing hidden expectations of "misfortune", and even the natural marakas Shani, Kuja, and Rahu can all contribute to the stress, frustration, and often despair that a serious accident or disease may cause.

In cases of poverty, marital conflict, and disease - the major "victim state" imbalances - our discovery focuses on L-6 and His home Ripu Bhava, house of "loss of balance".

Release of conflict = loss of disease = domain-5

12th-from any house causes loss of the matters of that house. E.g., domain-10 for career also causes loss of income (domain-11) because the native is too busy with leadership duties to be optimally active in the marketplace. Domain-2 for family money causes loss of self-made wealth (domain-3) because one is focused on the family's assets, not one's own personal business.

• Loss of disease and conflict occurs in domain-5, 12th-from-Ari bhava. Not surprisingly, domain-5 rules Confidence, expressed through intelligence, creativity, speculation, winnings, and children.

• If the lord of domain-5 is a weak temporal benefic, wearing the gem for L-5 can boost confidence and remind the native to use their Divinely granted intelligence to help release the conditions of disease.

• Lord of domain-5 releases the victim state, releases social and emotional conflict, releases debt and poverty, and replaces these conditions with items from its own agenda: confidence and courage.

The usual disease suspects= Primary karakas for illness and accident

• 6th-from = acute imbalance, acute conflict, enactment of the inner argument. 6th-from enjoys continuing manifestation vitality, albeit in an inequable, cranky, imbalanced state

• 12th-from = behaviors which cause the loss of vitality, loss of muscular movement, loss of activity in the body, loss of appearance, dissolution, dis-identification, de-manifestation, decay. 12th-from is actively losing vitality, as material form recedes, moving back into the field of astral memory.

• 8th-from = eruption of aggressive forces, sudden exposure to danger; secrets escape from their camouflaged hiding places; emergencies; disruption of the body's valve and sphincter control system.

• Shani = karaka for troubles, pain, suffering, resistance, scarcity, fear

• Mangala = sudden, aggressive movements; instinctive reactions; anger

periods of L-6 = acute conflict, injury, accident, disease; usually a rapid process; the native remains attached to the body - even in the case of chronic conditions, the native stays in the body and remains ego-engaged with the disease-disagreement process

periods of L-12 = dissolution and deterioration, usually a slow process, including loss of attachment to the body and gradual cessation of physical movement, increasing the sleep-dream state

periods of L-8 = shock and trauma, forced initiation; a rapidly destructive-creative process; usually an experience of death recycle rebirth which does not require destroying the body, but after a certain number of cycle-spins the physical form will be destroyed to create a new birth

L-6 from any lagna (baseline) - especially Chandra lagna = Acute physical, mental, and social illness. 6th-from-Chandra = disagreement and inequity in emotional relationships. Physical malfunctions of disease are caused by breakdown of supportive relationships at the causal (thought) and astral (emotional) levels, and this breakdown eventually percolates down into the gross physical body systems.

• Clinical, ambulatory medicine for acute conditions. The condition is still "moving".

• Poisoning, breakage, toxicity, infection, tumor, drugs, pain.

• Shukra in 6th-from = the acute (using) phase of drug addiction ( Michael Jackson).

• Rahu in 6th-from =exotic or taboo diseases ( Franklin D. Roosevelt, Rahu-Kanya in 6th-from-Soma plus Rahu's lord Budha in Kumbha, 6th-from-lagna = nerve (Budha) sheath (Kumbha) disorder. FDR's severe nerve paralysis was considered a possible cause of public revolt or panic (Rahu) and was kept secret until after his death.)

How to Fix Matters of domain-6 originate in the causal (thought-Budha) level and these problems can therefore be corrected by fixing the originating thoughts The source of the illness will be a thought-complex which expresses a pattern of inter-related negative expectations, typically subconsciously held. There is plenty of vitality in domain-6 and mental intervention can easily restore health when the native makes the proper self-correction.

12th-from any lagna (baseline) - especially Chandra lagna = the "dissolving" stage Of physical, mental, and social phenomena. Physical vitality has ebbed; the conditions has begun its retreat from manifestation. 12th-from is more associated with "mental illness"

• L-12 is 7th-from-6th - most alcoholics and drug addicts will admit they are married to their drug, and they experience peaceful union only in the 'dissolved' state of toxic stupor. (Shukra + Rahu = slow dissolution through drugs = Elvis Presley)

In normal human experience, 12th-from an undesirable thing is good and 12th-from a desirable thing is bad. Matters in the 12th-from will suck out the life force, drain the vitality, and motivate the process of de-materialization.

• Shukra + Rahu in 12th-from-Chandra = dissolution of emotional stability through drugs, alcohol, women and bed pleasures, although expressed in a conservative or restrained (in rashi of Shani) and unusual style (Rahu); extravagant over-spending ( Elvis Presley)

• Chandra-Simha in 12th-from-lagna = slow development of the conditions for de-manifestation of the physical body through emotional need for recognition and attention (Simha) (consorting with entertainment celebrities, friendships with dangerous but glamorous mafiosi, riding like a king in an open-top car, John F. Kennedy)

8th from any lagna = eruption of hidden forces, perhaps extremely violent. Think of the shamanistic hunter, on perceptual high-alert, moving cautiously through the danger-infested jungle. There is massive hidden energy present. A predator or prey could burst forth from the foliage at any moment. The hunter could win (Kuja) a source of critically important nourishment - or he could be ripped to shreds and die a horrible death in the jaws of a man-killer. The outcome depends on his skillful awareness! 8th-from = emergencies. Onset of sudden, catastrophic change. Shock and trauma. Physically invasive trauma, attacks, surgery. Psychologically invasive trauma, intimidation, abuse. Childbirth. Hidden interior bodily conditions. Undiagnosable diseases Invasions which "open" the body through an aperture (randhra) to discover and correct the cause Sphincters most affected by 8th-from events: fontanelle (top of skull, mainly psychic), uterine cervix, throat, anus. Also the sphincters in the digestive system, including the pyloric and esophageal sphincters of the human stomach Includes invasive surgeries, body-opening accidents, childbirth which forces the opening of the cervix, and often the "opening" of psychotherapeutic inquiry. L-8 demands sudden change but result are often beneficial.

• 3rd-from = Active mental health disorders.(12th-from = loss of attachment, but 12th-from is not crazy. 3rd-from can be crazy.) Lord of Trimshamsha (D-30) shows style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal"> style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400">timin style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400"> style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal">g of general misfortune
