Kidney Diseases and Medical Astrology

Chronic kidney disease, also called chronic kidney failure, describes the gradual loss of kidney function. Your kidneys filter wastes and excess fluids from your blood, which are then excreted in your urine. When chronic kidney disease reaches an advanced stage, dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and wastes can build up in your body.

Houses involved:

Kidneys are ruled by the7^th house in chart and by the 7^th lord. Any affliction to the 7^th house and 7^th lord can cause problems in kidneys. Planets Jupiter, Moon, Venus and Mercury are the karakas of Kidney diseases. Signs Libra rules this. Also if in the chart Mars, Rahu are afflicted or there is negative conjunction of Mars and Saturn they can give kidney problems.

Functions and organs ruled by 5th, 6^th and 8^th house and their afflictions also lead to kidney diseases. So to get to the root of kidney diseases, we must analyze 5^th, 6^th and 8^th houses also.

Mahadasha involved:

• Venus or its depositor in 6^th afflicted

• If Moon occupies a watery sign and lord of that sign is placed in 6^th

• Malefics in 5^th and 6^th
