Health in Vedic astrology is judged from the 1st house (vitality and constitution), the 6th house (disease and its management), the 8th house (chronic conditions and longevity), and the Moon (mental balance). A strong Ascendant lord and an unafflicted Moon are the foundation of resilience; afflictions to the 6th and 8th houses point to areas needing attention.
Each planet corresponds to parts of the body and types of imbalance. The Sun rules the heart, eyes, and bones; the Moon, fluids, the mind, and the chest; Mars, blood, muscles, and inflammation; Mercury, nerves, skin, and speech; Jupiter, the liver and fat; Venus, the reproductive system and kidneys; Saturn, joints, teeth, and chronic ailments; Rahu and Ketu, sudden or hard-to-diagnose conditions.
Astrology does not replace medicine. What it can offer is timing — periods when a native may be more vulnerable — and lifestyle guidance rooted in a planet's nature, such as calming routines for a strained Moon or disciplined habits during a heavy Saturn Dasha. Used this way, the chart becomes a companion to good care rather than a substitute.
