Brain Diseases and Medical Astrology

Diseases related to brain are observed to increase in large numbers in current age and civilization on earth. Also, there is no certain age and condition for its initiation; it is happening at any age of life.

Though there are several reasons and causes for such eruptions of brain related diseases, one thing should always be analyzed before diagnosing brain diseases is that brain and heart (emotional consciousness) are inseparable and heart is the seat of the mind.

Secondly, the signs and planets study relating to – Vaata, Pitta and Kaffa is of utmost important for studying the personalized chart of a native.

Brain is a piece of neurological framework that includes spine, nerves and neurons. Astrologically and as per yogic science it is divided into four parts which are actually not separate but integrally function depending on each other. First is Ahamkara (ego or self identity) which cannot function independently but only through association with intellect. So Buddhi (or intellect) is second. This intellect continuously moves in and out of Manas (a huge storehouse of memory) which has many layers and subtle layers in the spine right up to the bottom chakra). So Manas is the third. Then finally is the Chitta the cosmic sea of consciousness. So Chitta comes fourth.

Yogic science goes even beyond Chitta.

Astrologically, the mind is signified by first house or the ascendant, by the sign Aries, and mainly by the planets Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Rahu and Ketu. Then each planet has its role in overall functioning of the Brain. So, it becomes necessary to analyze the personalized chart of the native and understand the root cause of problem and conditions.

Sun is the karaka of the brain. Mercury rules nerves and nervous system, Mars rules aggression and pressure (also blood), Moon rules mind and emotions and heart field, Saturn interferes with the Vaat (wind) inside the brain. Ketu rules the accumulated tendencies and storage of perceptions (even of previous births) and Rahu the cravings and fear (if negative).
