osteoporosis and astrology - medical astrology

February 13, 2006

Hi all

I want to analyse a medical problem known as

"osteoporosis" astrologically.

Osteoporosis is the silent disease that makes bones

prone to fracture.In this, bones become fragile and

more likely to break. If not prevented or if left

untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until

a bone breaks.

It is proved that women are four times more likely

than men to develop the disease.

astrologically, Sun is related to bones.

Can we think of something else astrologically

responsible for this disease.Apart from taking

medicines, what can be done astrologically to prevent

this disease. i do not have birth details of the

person wrt to whom i m asking this question.

If the person performs surya namaskar everyday, will

it help in some way.

pls note that person is female in this case.

thanks

It has been my experience that 'saturn' rules the 'bones'. Of course, a

strongly placed sun determines the vitality of the individual,...but saturn has

alot to do with osteoporosis from the many charts that I have analysed

medically.

Dear Angel, Georgette and All,

The seven bodily tissues (sapta dhatus) that form the building blocks

for all bodily structures are (from Sun to Saturn) Bones, Blood,

Marrow, Skin, Semen and Muscles.

This is established in Ayurveda and also spoken of by Parashara; CH

3. 31.

The simplest remedy by far is adequate exposure to Sun, i.e. 15-20

mins per day (at least). This simple knowledge has been passed down

from mothers for many generations (folk lore). However today, with so

many spending their days (sunlight hours), in shops, offices and

factories, the incidence of osteoporosis has risen dramatically. Even

those who stay at home are spending more and more time indoors in

front of computers, television and play stations (popular with the

young). Human kind seems to more and more separate from the natural

world and we suffer accordingly. Folk lore also speaks of the benefit

gained from taking a leisurely stroll under the moonlight.

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy

To All,

If I may add my 2 cents from experience.

I am female.

I have Saturn in the first house Virgo.

I have Sun in the eleventh house Cancer.

I have Rahu in the sixth house Aquarius

I have Lagnesh Lord Mercury in the twelfth house Leo.

I grew up in a very Sun oriented household. In other words, not one

of my siblings or I were allowed to sleep in on days off from school

or stay put in front of the TV or any other indoor pursuit.

WE were all booted out of bed at a very precise time every morning

or were self-up and going and doing and being everyday. Outside

actions in the Sun were a must and way of life. Healthy too to burn

off a lot of excess children's energy in a healthy matter rather

than fighting like cats and dogs inside or driving my mother up a

wall. There were six of us in 7 1/2 yrs.

I spent walking the golf course in Junior Golf league and then adult

league from the time I was 10 through 32 years old. I loved the Sun

and the warm days and walking the green fairways in a wooded

surrounding. To me it was a peaceful retreat from the world and

self-invigorating to my physical body as well as spiritually,

whether I was on the course alone practicing or in competition. I

even loved the practicing putting green and then the pleasure of

showering in the clubhouse and relaxing on the veranda.

Therefore, I cannot from my perspective blame the Sun's placement or

the Saturn in lst or even Rahu in sixth as the culprit. I have seen

these kinds of placements in other charts to know that not one of

them have bone problems.

HOWEVER, having Saturn conj Asc with Lagnesh Mercury in twelfth Leo

ruled by Sun - now there is a plausibility. And, a reality to my

own experience.

Since I was a young child, I complained of bone and back pain. It

was thought at the time to be just growing pains. When I was eleven

yrs old, I was in ballet (which I just adored) and it was my ballet

teacher who eventually phoned my mother and asked her to take me to

the orthopedic doctor because I could not stand up straight in his

class. Nor could I keep my balance like other dancers.

It was found that I had what they presumed at the time in 1962 to be

an idiopathic scoliosis of the lumbar and thoracic spine. Even

though the S curve was at more than a 20 degree curve with a twisted

sideways construction along with a congenital fused 5th lumbar

intravertabrae - a spinal brace and surgery was not recommended to

stop the curvature or support the spine, because the orthopedic

doctor felt from the spine x-rays that I only had one more inch of

growth to achieve. It was determined though, that the congenital

intravertebrae fusion was the cause of me not walking until I was

almost 16 months old.

I loved dancing (all kinds) too, but had to give it up in Junior

year of H.S. because my bones could not take the stress of

practicing or performing any longer.

Through the years, I suffered greatly and having children only

complicated the curvature. In fact, for other reasons, there was a

almost nine year difference in my children's ages and in the

interval I was advised by a top spinal surgeon not to have any more

children. Well guess what. I got pregnant.

By the time my youngest child turned 5yrs old, I was 39yrs old. By

then it was determined that I had Adult scoliosis with congenital

arthritic changes probably due to an autoimmune disease. I had

major Spinal surgery for a continual curvature to my spine. The

idea was to stop the curve and support the spine. By now, the curve

in the thoracic spine was affecting my heart and lungs. I was

measuring more than 50 degrees at the lower lumbar region, 30 plus

degrees at the thoracic level and 17 degrees up into my skull. It

was a single posterior surgical procedure of 16 hours. I was fused

with instrumentation from my lower wingspan down to L4, which is the

lower part of the spine just before the L5 where most if not all of

the flexibility in ones movement stems from. During surgery, my

spine proved to be in worse shape than even the latest technology of

Spine CT's and MRI's could show.

To continue this saga a little longer to get my point across - I was

in a three-year recovery plan. The first 15 months I was incased in

a plastic fiberglass torso body cast. At 30 months, I had to have

surgery again because not only did the instrument (rods) fail and

break at the L3/4, but it was found in surgery that one of the main

pedicle screws where the rods broke was imbedded in the spine where

it could not be removed - along with finding I had fractured

bilaterally at the thoracic level, behind the rods, two vertebrae

because of thinning and porous bones.

This time, all the rods came out and then I was refused where the

fractures were, then re-rodded for support from my upper wingspan

down to L4. I not only wore a torso plastic fiber cast for 17

months but also for 8 months wore an additional electric stimulation

vest over my cast to stimulate bone healing.

21/2 yrs later, I was back in surgery for a lamenectomy and

disectomy at L5/S1, which is located in the lower lumbar area for

flexibility and entering into the sacral area. It was right

underneath my rods and previous fusions. Within 4 weeks, I was back

in the hospital on emergency with Bacterial Spinal meningitis from

the spinal surgery, which had punctured the inner spinal column

where spinal fluid was leaking and causing the meningitis.

Now, in the meantime, the rest of my body was bone wise

deteriorating. I had bone surgeries twice on my foot, tailbone and

additional teeth surgery ( Wisdom - imbedded and impacted) along

with a lot of arthritic changes in my knees, wrists, ankles and

neck. By the time 1997 came around through 1999 after spending more

hours than I care to try and add up in the dental chair since I was

20 years old, I had nine dental implants surgically placed with a

bite change to lessen the TMJ and arthritic degeneration in my jaw

joints, along with having every single one of my teeth root canalled

(those that had not been done before) along with reshaping and

capping every single tooth in my mouth. In 1999 CT scans showed

severe osteoarthritis throughout my whole body. Today, I have severe

osteoporosis in my upper thoracic area (Above the rods and fusion)

into my neck and upper arms due to continual bone thinning. I also

have pain in my shinbones and forearms due to thinning and porous

bones.

There is not much one can due when osteoporosis takes it hold or

osteoarthritis either. There are calcium and other minerals to help

keep the bones as healthy as possible, but there is nothing that

prevents the disintegration once it starts. Surgery helps support

fractures but there are a slew of downs sides to spinal bone surgery

with instrumentation. Nothing is perfect or last forever. Bone

surgeries of the spine are temporary fixes at best where multiple

revision surgeries are often needed with their many complications,

long recoveries and severe pain..

I have needed two Revision surgeries since 2000. I have turned the

complicated procedures down as of date. The reason. The rest of my

health would not support these two surgeries or its 3/4 year

recovery - that is if the surgeries did not fail (which is a high

risk) where Degenerative Disk Disease is prevalent and surgery is

required to fused down to the tail bone for stenosis and arthritic

changes.

I have included my birth data below for those who would want to

compare this chart for its chronic health problems and bone disease

that has been with me since I was born.

I would say that some things are fated. But, it is how we manage the

fatedness that can be altered to give some relief and comfort – no

matter how small or minor. However, chronic illnesses and bone

diseases with their chronic pain are one kind of suffering reflected

in the body where there are other kinds of suffering that I cannot

even imagine experiencing.

Ruler Sun of the Twelfth Leo with Lagnesh Mercury placed there,

along with Saturn conj Asc in Virgo sure is a negative culprit if

not the cause of decline on the body of a person. I would include

the skeleton structure of the body, being bones.

Of course, as usual, I stand corrected if I am incorrect and would

appreciate being enlightened otherwise. If nothing else, It makes

for good chart study – of course in its own due time and schedule

for group study!

As Always,

Uttara :-)

Dear Uttara,

//Therefore, I cannot from my perspective blame the Sun's placement

or

the Saturn in lst or even Rahu in sixth as the culprit. I have seen

these kinds of placements in other charts to know that not one of

them have bone problems.

HOWEVER, having Saturn conj Asc with Lagnesh Mercury in twelfth Leo

ruled by Sun - now there is a plausibility. And, a reality to my

own experience.//

Your (particular) health problems are not difficult to understand

with 6th lord Saturn in lagna occupying nakshatra of Sun whilst Sun,

dispositor of lagna lord, occupies nakshatra of Saturn etc..

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy
