ASTROLOGY OF OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease that is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and density which can lead to an increased risk of fracture. In osteoporosis, the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, bone micro architecture deteriorates, and the amount and variety of proteins in bone are altered.The disease may be classified as primary type 1, primary type 2, or secondary. The form of osteoporosis most common in women after menopause is referred to as primary type 1 or postmenopausal osteoporosis. Primary type 2 osteoporosis  occurs after age 75 and is seen in both females and males at a ratio of 2:1. Secondary osteoporosis may arise at any age and affect men and women equally. This form results from chronic predisposing medical problems or disease, or prolonged use of medications such as glucocorticoids, when the disease is called steroid- or glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.Bones that are affected by osteoporosis can break with relatively minor injury that normally would not cause a bone to fracture. The fracture can be either in the form of cracking  or collapsing . The spine, hips, ribs, and wrists are common areas of bone fractures from osteoporosis although osteoporosis-related fractures can occur in almost any skeletal bone.

 ASTROLOGY OF OSTEOPOROSIS

• Sun and Saturn are the main significators of bones , but in contrast their planetary characteristics are different - Sun being a fiery planet and saturn airy planet.So if there is a connection between Sun and Saturn either by conjuction or by aspect or if Sun is placed in any of the zodiac / rashi  ruled by Saturn ( Capricorn / Makara and Aquaris / Kumbha ) then weakness of bones is indicated. Weakness is also indicated to teeth , hair and nails.
• Capricorn / Makara rashi ( owned by Saturn ) is the significator of bone structure, so if it is afflicted by Sun , Saturn or Rahu or  there is a Papa Kartari yoga ( hemmed between malefics ) to Capricorn / Makara rashi  then there are chances for osteoporosis.
• Leo / Simha / Chingam Rashi ( owned by the Sun)  as it rules spine and circulation. If afflicted, may cause weak movements of joints  which may gradually lead to osteoporosis
• Rahu can also causes weakness in bone as it rules knees.
• If lord of 6th house is associated with Sun, bone weakness is indicated.
• Affliction to Jupiter or Sagittarius indicate low bone density.

• If Sun posited in dusthanas (ie 6th / 8th / 12th house), debilited, conjoined or aspected by malefic then it  indicates bone weakness.              

REMEDIES                    

• Chant Aditya Hridya Strotra to reduce evil effects of Sun.       
• Surya namaskara / Sun salutation or Offering water to sun on daily basis is a good remedial measure .

FOOD HABITS DETERMINES YOUR PERSONALITY

Eating of food is the basic requirement of human body. Every one eats to nourish the body to live a longer and healthy life. In ancient times people were living in forests and they were eating raw flesh after hunting, so they were not aware of any other taste other than the taste of raw meat.

Day by day human brain got developed after the discovery of fire. They started cooking their food and further adding different type of tastes in their routine food. Now days there are millions of dishes in the world with different type of tastes.

Basically, human body identifies the following type of tastes:

1. Sweet
2. Sour
3. Spicy
4. Salty
5. Bitter

The above basic tastes are now being mixed by chefs to bring different flavors in the dishes that are served.

There are different types of people in this world and they have their own taste which they like most. The liking for a taste is totally dependent upon the activeness of a particular planet in their life, as the taste is controlled by the planet concerned. The following chart explains the tastes and their respective controller planets:

Type of taste	Controlling planets
Sweet	Jupiter
Spicy	Sun, Mars & Ketu
Sour	Venus
Salty	Moon
Bitter	Saturn
Mixed	mercury

Generally, a person cultivates one particular type of taste that he/she likes more through out his/her life, because one particular planet governs him/her very much.

If an individual likes sweet too much, it can be said that the Jupiter planet is active in his/her life and his/her personality would be visible as follows:

• Wise.
• Wealthy.
• Religious.
• Full of pride on his belongings.
• Fatty.

In case a person likes much spicy food with maximum use of chili then he/she may have the effect of Sun, Mars or Ketu planet on his/her life and this indicates the following personality:

• Cruel.
• Sporty.
• Fighter.
• Full of energy and heat.

Sour taste indicates that the life of a person is affected with Venus planet which indicates the following personality:

• Musician.
• Music lover.
• Singer.
• Power to produce its kind.
• Luxurious.
• Romantic.

Salty taste is connected with Moon. When Moon is active in somebody’s life, his/her nature would be as mentioned below:

• Full of fictions.
• Poet.
• Romantic.
• Philosopher.

Bitter taste is linked to planet Saturn. When a person cultivates this type of taste, the personality of person appears as follows:

• Good public servant.
• Full of humanity.
• Affected with diseases related to gas.
• Feels lonely.

Mixed taste refers to planet Mercury. When a person likes mixed taste rather than a particular taste, his/her behavior would be as follows:

• Childish.
• Full of communication skills.
• A good dancer.
• A mathematician.

Although, a person keeps one taste for full life span due to the effect of a particular planet, he/she may have change of tastes in mid life at any time according to dasha of planets keeps on changing after certain period and accordingly the taste and personality too changes.

COMBINATIONS FOR HAIR LOSS AND BALDNESS IN ASTROLOGY

Scientifically , good hair growth is determined by three factors, the skin, the hair follicles and the proteins that sustains the hair growth.Astrologically these three are controlled by the benefic planets such as    by  the benefic planets such as Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. It must be recalled here that Varahamihira considers the signs of  benefic planets as helping in hair growth and the signs of malefic planets having a role in hair loss. However he considers two benefic signs as susceptible for hair-loss. They are Taurus and Sagittarius.

                                             

        

According to Brihad Jataka (23-15), if birth falls in malevolent signs or in Sagittarius or Taurus and is aspected by evil planets, the person will be bald headed. The lagna falling in the signs of malefics such as Mars, Sun and Saturn must be devoid of evil afflictions for lasting hair growth on the head. Among the other signs, Taurus and Sagittarius ruled by Venus and Jupiter respectively must also be devoid of malefic afflictions to avoid baldness.The reason can be rationalized on the basis of Baadhak lords for respective signs. The Malefic signs run the element of risk in upsetting the appearance due to the malefic lords. Aries signifying the head is associated with the fiery planet Mars. Sun is the natural significator for hair growth. But both sun and Mars are bilious planets.Excessive bile nature is one of the main causes for hair loss. So the three signs Aries,Scorpio and Leo come under the scanner. 

The other two signs of malefic lordship are Capricorn and Aquarius. The lord Saturn is associated with early aging. Premature graying and early thinning of hair are the legacy of Saturn. 

 Saturn’s importance can not be undermined because it becomes the governing planet of the fetus in its

 6th month of growth. Hairs start appearing in the 6th month of the fetal baby. Perhaps a research on the transiting Saturn in the 6th month of the fetus with the natal lagna (once the baby is born) might give an early idea about the appearance connected with hair growth.

In the 5th(preceding) month, the fetus gets good growth of the skin which is governed bythe planet moon. This shows how the skin and hair develop in stages one after theother and how astrology has related well the respective planets to detect the kind of appearance one gets. Moon, particularly the Navamsa moon tells about the skin color and appearance supplemented by the hair growth on body and the head.

Among the signs of benefic lords, Gemini and Virgo are the favorable ones for beautiful appearance of hair. The lord is Mercury who is associated with earthy nature (prithvitattwa). According to classical texts, birth in earthy nature ensures good and healthygrowth of hair and nails. Mercury is the planet of prithvi tattwa which is also associated with skin. The Baadhak lord for both the Mercurian signs is a natural benefic namely Jupiter. Jupiter which aids in growth and is responsible for good assimilation of protein products (protein is essential for hair growth) can not upset the Mercurian contribution to hair growth.

As for Cancer, Moon is the influencing agent for hair growth. The hair-curt is recommended only in connection with the this (moon’s movement around the  earth) and therefore moon can not upset its native. Moreover the Baadhak lord for Cancer is Venus which is a first rate beauty conscious planet.

This leaves out  the signs of Venus and Jupiter.

For Taurus, the 9th lord Saturn becomes the Baadhak making the sign vulnerable. For Libra the significator for hair (Sun) himself is the Baadhak. Unless Sun occupies adversarial locations, the Librans need not worry.

For Sagittarius and Pisces, Mercury becomes the Baadhak. But Varahamihira has sound edcaution only for Sagittarius and not for Pisces. It may be because; Sagittarius is associated with good appearance of hair whereas Pisces is not. Since Mercury’s impact is dependant on whom he is associated with, one can not give a clean chit to it that it would not upset the Sagittarians.This is the basic nature of signs in influencing hair-loss.

POSITION OF LAGNA

Lagna is the primary determinant for the appearance including the nature of hair growth.Both the luminaries add luster to the appearance. Both of them are connected with hair growth. In the following positions they adversely affect hair growth. 

• Sun in the lagna or in Navamsa lagna 

• Sun in the 7th from the lagna / Navamsa lagna . 

• Moon in Aries or Leo in rasi or Navamsa makes the thinning of hair. 

• Moon in Taurus gives short hair. 

• Weaker sun and / or moon in the lagna of Drekkana and Trimsamsa also add to the hairy woes.

 POSITION OF NAVAMSA

The following lagna position in Rasi and the corresponding Navamsa shows tendency to lose hair or thinning down of hair.

Lagna In Rashi                                Lagna In Navamsa 

  Aries                                                          Gemini
 Cancer                                                     Capricorn
 Leo                                                                Leo
Scorpio                                                     Sagittarius
Capricorn                                               Cancer  

The following lagna – Navamsa positions are helpful for good appearance of hair.

Lagna In Rashi                                Lagna In Navamsa 

Taurus                                                         Gemini
Taurus                                                         Cancer
Taurus                                                         Leo 
 Gemini                                                      Capricorn
 Cancer                                                      Cancer
 Leo                                                                Cancer
 Scorpio                                                      Virgo
Sagittarius                                              Aries
Sagittarius                                             Cancer


Generally Navamsa lagna and Navamsa moon determine the appearance of a person. If the Navamsa lagna falls on the houses of benefics without afflicted by malefics, the person will have good growth of beautiful looking hair. The following are withreference to only Navamsa lagna as given in “Brahma Rishi Vaakyam".

If the Navamsa lagna falls in the sign of Sun (Leo),no need to worry about balding.The person will have thick and curly hair growth. The American President Barack Obama has Navamsa lagna in Leo, but has sun in the 7th in D-1. The sun is strongand auspicious in the other divisional charts (D-3 and D-30). So we have to do acombined reading. Sun in the 7thwill certainly give a receding hairline but its strength in other charts with Leo as Navamsa lagna will not give him undue baldness. The hair thickness had come down early in his life. The spoilsport is Saturn which is in its own sign in both D-1 and D-9. It is posited in lagna in the rasi. So he must have started graying early. People and the media are thinking that it started only after he assumed office.

If the Navamsa lagna falls in the sign of Moon (Cancer),there must be worry about hair on the head. There will be more hair on the body but thin hair on the head! Early balding comes with lagna in Cancer in D-9 and D-3 and D-30 (unless the rasi lagna falls in the above mentioned signs that are favorable for growth of hair.)

If the Navamsa lagna falls in the sign of Mars (Aries and Scorpio), there is a strong chance of balding.This is a major pointer to baldness as per texts. There is no differentiation between these signs as being fiery or watery. That it is lorded by Mars is the sufficient cause for the hair loss. A famous bald person in this category is Mahathma Gandhi. His Navamsa falls in Scorpio.

If the Navamsa lagna falls in the sign of Mercury (Gemini and Virgo),the person will have beautiful hair. 

If the Navamsa lagna falls in the sign of Jupiter (Sagittarius and Pisces),once again the same feature as above. Usually the Navamsa lagna in the houses of benefics ensure beautiful and good growth of hair.If the D-9 lagna falls in the sign of Venus (Taurus and Libra), same as above.

If the D-9 lagna falls in the sign of Saturn ( Capricorn and Aquarius),dull and thin hair would grow. Early graying is also seen.

 REMEDIES

Though astrological remedies for baldness are not found in classical texts, we can draw a clue for the remedy from the root cause assigned to this problem. The Sun is the major contributor to hair-loss. As such there are Ayurvedic solutions based on Sun’s planetaryattributes. The planetary essence of pitta must be neutralized by lime products. If the prospect of losing hair is identified early in life from the horoscope, one can take proper medication and substitutes from Ayurveda to avoid hair-loss. Astrologically speaking,appeasement of Sun by way of worship of Sun God and recital of slokas such as Aditya Hridaya  can be done from an younger age.
