Elemental Balance and Disease Tendencies

Each planet also carries an elemental quality. Fire, Earth, Air, or Water.

Excess fire produces inflammation.
Excess air produces nervous instability.
Excess water produces swelling or hormonal imbalance.
Excess earth produces stagnation.

Fire planets are Sun and Mars.
Water planets are Moon and Venus.
Air planet is Mercury.
Earth planet is Saturn.
Jupiter balances and expands.
Rahu distorts.
Ketu dissolves.

If multiple fire planets cluster in the 6th house, inflammatory disease patterns may appear during their Dashas.

If Saturn influences Moon strongly, depression or emotional suppression may manifest physically.

If Rahu influences Mercury, nervous system instability or anxiety linked gut disorders may arise.

Astrology allows us to detect imbalance before symptoms escalate.

The goal is not prediction of disease. The goal is pattern recognition.

When the elemental constitution is understood, lifestyle correction becomes precise.

For example:
Fire excess requires cooling diet and anger management.
Air imbalance requires routine and grounding.
Water imbalance requires emotional processing.
Earth stagnation requires movement.
