Dear Jyotisha,

 

Here is a nice thing for you to read and comment. A lot is required to be done in this area. Let me cut the ribbon...

 

Best Wishes

Sarajit

 

 

1. Introduction

--

This is a matter to wonder, why there are moles on certain parts and why certain parts of the body is more succeptible to cuts and bruises than other parts. However, this is not all, why should we know the influence of planets on different parts of the body. This is a invariable part in medical astrology and can be used to track which planet is influencing the body parts under trouble. Jyotish is a beautiful too to uncover, even those things which are covered in the eyes of a seasoned medical practitioner. This makes us appreciate the association of the cosmos with all of us in this world, whether perceptible or imperceptible to our senses. We are admist of the play of the cosmic drama and we are the player. The director is none other than the supreme consciousness, for whome the priciple of operation of a universe and a cell inside human body are the same. Alas! we do not realise it with our limited senses. However, we can infer, from whatever we can sense, that there is an invisible reality, which is more true than what we assume to be true in this material plane of existence based on our senses.

 

 

 

2. What Classics Say?

--

 

 

Decanates and Bodily Limbs. Head, eyes, ears, nose, temple, chin and face is the order of limbs, denoted (by the various Bhavas), when the first decanate of a Rāśi ascends. In the case of the second decanate ascending the order is neck, shoulder, arm, side, heart, stomach and navel. The order for the third decanate ascending is pelvis, anus/penis, testicles, thigh, knee, calf and foot. (BPHS 12.12-12.14)

 

Left/ Right Parts: The portion already risen indicates left side of the body (while the one yet to rise, i.e. the invisible half, denotes the right side of the body). (BPHS 12.12-12.14)

 

Limbs Affected: The limb, related to a malefic by occupation, will have ulcers, or scars, while the one, related to a benefic, will have a mark (like moles etc). So say the Jyotishis. (BPHS 12.15)

 

Marks from Birth or later: Should these planets be in their own Rāśi, or Amsa at birth, then the wound, or mole are right from birth. Otherwise these will be caused later on (in appropriate periods). (Sara 4.6)

 

3. Interpretation

--

The three decanates divide the body into three parts. In each sign the 1st decanate would show some part of head (upper part: above the trunk), the 2nd decanate would show the organs of the middle part (from neck to pelvis) and the 3rd decanate would show the organs in the lower part (below the pelvis). The classification of the body parts are shown below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Drekkana

 

 

Rasi

 

I

 

II

 

III

 

 

Lagna

 

Head*

 

Neck*

 

Pelvis*

 

 

2nd House

 

Right eye

 

Right Shoulder

 

Right side of Anus and Generative organs

 

 

3rd House

 

Right ear

 

Right arm

 

Right testicle/ovary

 

 

4th House

 

Right nostril

 

Right side

 

Right Thigh

 

 

5th House

 

Right cheek

 

Right Heart

 

Right knee

 

 

6th House

 

Right Jaw

 

Right chest

 

Right calf

 

 

7th House

 

Mouth*

 

Navel*

 

Foot*

 

 

8th House

 

Left Jaw

 

Left chest

 

Left calf

 

 

9th House

 

Left cheek

 

Left heart

 

Left knee

 

 

10th House

 

Left nostril

 

Left side

 

Left thigh

 

 

11th House

 

Left ear

 

Left arm

 

Left testicle

 

 

12th house

 

Left eye

 

Left shoulder

 

Left side of Anus and Generative organs

* The body parts represented by Lagna and the 7th have have both the right and the left part. They are described below:

a. Lagna: The two side of the lagna cusp represent two sides. From the beginning of the lagna sign (0deg) to the cusp falls in the visible half and shall represent the left side of the body part and from the cusp to the end of the sign falls in the invisible half and shall represent the right side of the body part.

 

b. 7th house: In the seventh house, the duration of beginning of the sign to the cusp of the 7th (equal to lagna cusp in equal house division) falls in in the invisible half (already set in western horizon) and shall represent the right side of the body part and from the cusp to the end, falls in the visible part (yet to set in western horizon) represent the left side of the body part.

 

In the following illustration, Saturn is placed in the 7th house however is in the visible half (cusp to end) of the 7th house and hence shall represent the left side of the body part. Saturn is placed in the 3rd decanate of 7th, which represent foot. Thus the body part influenced by Saturn is left foot.

 

Thus it is noteworthy that the visible part of the zodiac at the moment of birth (from 7th to 12th) show the left part of the body (controlled by right side of the brain), while the invisioble part of the zodiac (Lagna to 7th) shows the right side of the body (controlled by the left side of the brain). Thus one should remember the association - Visible- Left; Invisible - Right.

 

4. Illustration:

--

Maharishis say that the moles, warts, birth marks, wounds and sores etc can be predicted from the placement of planets in different decanates. Lets see how it works. In the following horoscope, the planets are placed in the following decanates:

 

+--------------+| |AL |Ke HL |Sa GL || | | | || | | | || | | | || | | | ||-----------+-----------------------+-----------||JuR | |Ve || | | || | | || | | || | | ||-----------| Rasi |-----------|| | |Su Ma || | |Me || | | || | | || | | ||-----------+-----------------------+-----------||As Md |Mo Ra | | ||Gk | | | || | | | || | | | || | | | |+--------------+

The above mentioned body parts can have some moles or scars based on whether it is occupied by benefics or malefics. I have for sure wound marks or scars in my left knee where Mars is palced. I always used to think, why am I so succeptible to wounds and bruises in my left knee when I was a naughty kid, whereas my right knee is perfectly fine. Saturn is also not lesser in anyway in inflicting its pain and marks in left foot.

Dear Sarajit,

 

It is a good article. My humble question regarding the correlation

of the drekkana to the various body parts of the human species is

how how should one see the malefic influences for the breast of a

woman? Since the breast produces the all important milk that

sustains and nourishes the baby. Is the meaning of left or right

chest general or can it be expanded along this line of query? for

the ladies and gentlemen on this forum, I seek your forgivance in

case this question offends your sensibilities.

 

In the illustration you gave, I would like to know what is meant

by " left side of heart " ?

 

Probably my own chart would be a fit case for illustration of the

principles you have enunciated. I shall try it out.

 

regards

Hari

Dear Sarajit,

 

Namaste.

 

In Chapter 3 Quarter 3 of Jaimini Sutram, Jaimini gives the body parts connected to the 6 kaulukas of a sign, namely forehead, hair, ears, eyes, nose and tongue/throat for the 6 kaulukas in odd signs (opposite order for even signs). Now It is said that if the planet falls into the lagna drekkana, then the disease hits the head. If it's in the 2nd from lagna drekkana, then the torso, and if in the 3rd from it, then the part below the navel and legs. Do you have any info on how to distribute the body parts for torso and legs between the 6 kaulukas?

Dear Gauranga,

 

The association is not clearly mentioned in the J.S. However, from whatever Sanjayji personally taught me, the first two kaulukas appear in the upper portion of the body. The 3rd and 4th Kauluka correspond to the Middle portion of the body and the last two kaulukas correspond to the Lower part of the body. Among them the odd kaulukas represent the internal diseases, such as blood pressure, or blood sugar, which cannot be associated with any specific organs and the even kaulukas represent the External diseases such as trouble to head or leg, i.e., diseases which affect different body parts.

 

IF we follow this principle, then the association becomes clearer. Lets say an afflicting planet is placed in the 5th house in the 2nd drekkana, then the table given below shows the trouble can be in the Right ventricle of the heart. If we know which Kaulukamsa it is placed, we can know the exact nature of the disease such as if placed in the 3rd Kauluka, the trouble could be exertion of more pressure in the heart due to improper flow of blood or something like that and if placed in the 4th kauluka, probably we can say that some veins in the heart is blocked.

 

This is only based on raw hypothesis... only after applying this in many charts can we be certain!

1. Introduction

--

This is a matter to wonder, why there are moles on certain parts and why certain parts of the body is more succeptible to cuts and bruises than other parts. However, this is not all, why should we know the influence of planets on different parts of the body. This is a invariable part in medical astrology and can be used to track which planet is influencing the body parts under trouble. Jyotish is a beautiful too to uncover, even those things which are covered in the eyes of a seasoned medical practitioner. This makes us appreciate the association of the cosmos with all of us in this world, whether perceptible or imperceptible to our senses. We are admist of the play of the cosmic drama and we are the player. The director is none other than the supreme consciousness, for whome the priciple of operation of a universe and a cell inside human body are the same. Alas! we do not realise it with our limited senses. However, we can infer, from whatever we can sense, that there is an invisible reality, which is more true than what we assume to be true in this material plane of existence based on our senses.

 

 

 

2. What Classics Say?

--

 

 

Decanates and Bodily Limbs. Head, eyes, ears, nose, temple, chin and face is the order of limbs, denoted (by the various Bhavas), when the first decanate of a Rasi ascends. In the case of the second decanate ascending the order is neck, shoulder, arm, side, heart, stomach and navel. The order for the third decanate ascending is pelvis, anus/penis, testicles, thigh, knee, calf and foot. (BPHS 12.12-12.14)

 

Left/ Right Parts: The portion already risen indicates left side of the body (while the one yet to rise, i.e. the invisible half, denotes the right side of the body). (BPHS 12.12-12.14)

 

Limbs Affected: The limb, related to a malefic by occupation, will have ulcers, or scars, while the one, related to a benefic, will have a mark (like moles etc). So say the Jyotishis. (BPHS 12.15)

 

Marks from Birth or later: Should these planets be in their own Rasi, or Amsa at birth, then the wound, or mole are right from birth. Otherwise these will be caused later on (in appropriate periods). (Sara 4.6)

 

3. Interpretation

--

The three decanates divide the body into three parts. In each sign the 1st decanate would show some part of head (upper part: above the trunk), the 2nd decanate would show the organs of the middle part (from neck to pelvis) and the 3rd decanate would show the organs in the lower part (below the pelvis). The classification of the body parts are shown below:

* The body parts represented by Lagna and the 7th have have both the right and the left part. They are described below:

a. Lagna: The two side of the lagna cusp represent two sides. From the beginning of the lagna sign (0deg) to the cusp falls in the visible half and shall represent the left side of the body part and from the cusp to the end of the sign falls in the invisible half and shall represent the right side of the body part.

& nbsp;

b. 7th house: In the seventh house, the duration of beginning of the sign to the cusp of the 7th (equal to lagna cusp in equal house division) falls in in the invisible half (already set in western horizon) and shall represent the right side of the body part and from the cusp to the end, falls in the visible part (yet to set in western horizon) represent the left side of the body part.

 

In the following illustration, Saturn is placed in the 7th house however is in the visible half (cusp to end) of the 7th house and hence shall represent the left side of the body part. Saturn is placed in the 3rd decanate of 7th, which represent foot. Thus the body part influenced by Saturn is left foot.

 

Thus it is noteworthy that the visible part of the zodiac at the moment of birth (from 7th to 12th) show the left part of the body (controlled by right side of the brain), while the invisioble part of the zodiac (Lagna to 7th) shows the right side of the body (controlled by the left side of the brain). Thus one should remember the association - Visible- Left; Invisible - Right.

 

4. Illustration:

--

Maharishis say that the moles, warts, birth marks, wounds and sores etc can be predicted from the placement of planets in different decanates. Lets see how it works. In the following horoscope, the planets are placed in the following decanates:

 

+--------------+| |AL |Ke HL |Sa GL || | | | || | | | || | | | || | | | ||-----------+-----------------------+-----------||JuR | |Ve || | | || | | || | | || | | ||-----------| Rasi |-----------|| | |Su Ma || | |Me || | | || | | || | | ||-----------+-----------------------+-----------||As Md |Mo Ra | | ||Gk | | | || | | | || | | | || | | | |+--------------+

The above mentioned body parts can have some moles or scars based on whether it is occupied by benefics or malefics. I have for sure wound marks or scars in my left knee where Mars is palced. I always used to think, why am I so succeptible to wounds and bruises in my left knee when I was a naughty kid, whereas my right knee is perfectly fine. Saturn is also not lesser in anyway in inflicting its pain and marks in left foot.
