In our previous article on the above topic we discussed the significance of prognosticating disease as well as the parts of the human body governed by each of the 12 signs and Houses and also the body parts and diseases ruled by the nine planets.       

 
We explained reminded our readers that Astrology is not Fatalism in that it does not say that something predicted by a study of planetary influences is inevitable. And the main purpose of Astrology is to predict a possible a misfortune or a fortune in advance to ready the native to meet the situation. 
If it is some misfortune, a disease or some other misfortune such as loss of wealth or a fatal accident, the native could take timely action to avert the eventuality or mitigate its adverse effect. 

Most students of Astrology may know that it is the 6th House in a horoscope that provides the clue to the nature of possible disease that could afflict a native. The 6th House if afflicted could, of course, create enemies and cause the native fall into debt as well.

As explained by Indian Jyotish Guru Dr. B.V. Raman in his celebrated work, Predictive Astrology, diseases are denoted by the 6th House, planets aspecting it, its lord and the Navamsa occupied by the 6th lord. 

The significators or karakas for the 6th House are Saturn and Mars and their strengths or weaknesses also should be taken into account when assessing the 6th House with regard to ascertaining the possibility of disease, the nature of the disease and the part or the parts of the body to be adversely affected. 

The Zodiacal sign falling in the 6th House signifies the affected the part or parts of the body. And its lord signifies the nature of diseases likely to be caused by it. It is noteworthy that each afflicted planet associated with the 6th House can cause more than one disease during its Maha Dasa or Antar Dasa. 

In the previous article we discussed the planetary combinations that could cause specific diseases. Here are some more planetary combinations that portend serious health problems.

• Abdominal diseases and appendicitisafflict the native when the Sun and the Moon transit in the Virgo sign.
• Enteric disorders and bowel diseases are caused when the Sun in the 6th House aspected by Saturn. 
• Jupiter posited in Virgo afflicted by malefic aspects or otherwise causes diarrhea.
• Evil planets posited in the 6th House aspected by evil planets when Mars and Venus aspect the Ascendant cause chronic constipation.
