A step-by-step Jyotish framework to evaluate vulnerability to tick-borne infections, chronic inflammation, and immune dysregulation in the birth chart.

This analytical framework has been developed and refined by Indian Jyotish expert Misha of @skybymisha, based on applied Vedic health astrology principles.

Important Ethical Note

Astrology does not medically diagnose Lyme disease.
Astrology does not replace laboratory testing or clinical evaluation.

This framework identifies:

• Predisposition
• Vulnerable periods
• Immune sensitivity
• Infection prone combinations
• Chronic inflammatory potential

It is a timing and pattern awareness system, not a medical claim.

Step 1: Begin With the Lagna and Constitutional Immunity

Before predicting any illness, evaluate physical resilience.

Check:

• Strength of Lagna sign
• Placement of Lagna lord
• Aspects to Lagna
• Dignity of Lagna lord
• Combustion or debilitation

Weak Lagna patterns include:

• Lagna lord in 6th, 8th, or 12th house
• Lagna lord conjunct Rahu or Ketu
• Lagna lord hemmed between malefics
• Saturn heavily influencing Lagna

If the constitution is strong, infection may occur but recovery is faster.
If the constitution is weak, infection may become chronic.

Never assess infection without first evaluating recovery potential.

Step 1: Begin With the Lagna and Constitutional Immunity

Before predicting any illness, evaluate physical resilience.

Check:

• Strength of Lagna sign
• Placement of Lagna lord
• Aspects to Lagna
• Dignity of Lagna lord
• Combustion or debilitation

Weak Lagna patterns include:

• Lagna lord in 6th, 8th, or 12th house
• Lagna lord conjunct Rahu or Ketu
• Lagna lord hemmed between malefics
• Saturn heavily influencing Lagna

If the constitution is strong, infection may occur but recovery is faster.
If the constitution is weak, infection may become chronic.

Never assess infection without first evaluating recovery potential.

Step 2: Examine the 6th House for Infection Susceptibility

The 6th house governs:

• Bacterial infection
• Acute illness
• Inflammatory response
• Pathogens
• Immune reaction

Check the following:

• Planets placed in 6th house
• 6th lord placement
• Aspects to 6th house
• 6th lord dignity
• Rahu or Mars involvement

High infection risk combinations:

• Rahu in 6th house
• Mars in 6th house
• 6th lord in 8th house
• 6th lord conjunct Rahu
• 6th lord debilitated and afflicted

Rahu in 6th often indicates unusual or hard to diagnose infections.
Mars in 6th indicates inflammatory bacterial response.

If these placements activate during Rahu Mahadasha or Mars Antardasha, infection risk increases.

Step 3: Assess Rahu for Foreign Pathogen Indicators

Lyme disease is caused by an external organism. Rahu symbolizes foreign invasion and environmental exposure.

Check:

• Rahu house placement
• Rahu aspects
• Rahu conjunctions
• Rahu’s Nakshatra
• Rahu Mahadasha timing

High vulnerability patterns:

• Rahu in 6th or 8th house
• Rahu conjunct Mercury
• Rahu conjunct Moon
• Rahu influencing Lagna lord
• Rahu ruling 6th house

Rahu Mercury combinations indicate neurological infection patterns.
Rahu Moon combinations indicate immune emotional instability during infection.

If Rahu Mahadasha runs while Rahu connects to 6th house, risk period increases.

Step 4: Evaluate Mercury for Neurological Lyme Patterns

Chronic Lyme frequently affects the nervous system.

Mercury governs:

• Brain fog
• Neural communication
• Speech
• Motor coordination
• Cognitive clarity

Check:

• Mercury placement
• Mercury dignity
• Mercury conjunctions
• Mercury in 6th or 8th house
• Mercury afflicted by Rahu or Saturn

High risk patterns:

• Mercury Rahu in 6th house
• Mercury debilitated and aspected by Mars
• Mercury ruling 6th and placed in 8th

If Mercury Mahadasha activates these placements, neurological symptoms may intensify.

Step 5: Examine Mars for Inflammatory and Joint Symptoms

Lyme disease commonly affects joints and muscles.

Mars governs:

• Blood
• Muscles
• Inflammation
• Fever
• Joint pain

Check:

• Mars placement
• Mars aspect to Lagna
• Mars in 6th or 8th
• Mars conjunct Rahu

Mars Rahu in 6th house often indicates aggressive inflammatory infection.

If Mars Antardasha runs within Rahu Mahadasha, joint inflammation risk increases.

Step 5: Examine Mars for Inflammatory and Joint Symptoms

Lyme disease commonly affects joints and muscles.

Mars governs:

• Blood
• Muscles
• Inflammation
• Fever
• Joint pain

Check:

• Mars placement
• Mars aspect to Lagna
• Mars in 6th or 8th
• Mars conjunct Rahu

Mars Rahu in 6th house often indicates aggressive inflammatory infection.

If Mars Antardasha runs within Rahu Mahadasha, joint inflammation risk increases.

Step 6: Evaluate Ketu for Autoimmune-Like Chronic Patterns

Chronic Lyme often mimics autoimmune conditions.

Ketu governs:

• Immune misdirection
• Energy depletion
• Neurological dissociation
• Sudden symptom fluctuation

Check:

• Ketu in Lagna
• Ketu in 6th
• Ketu influencing Moon
• Ketu in 8th house

Ketu involvement may indicate:

• Chronic fatigue
• Fluctuating symptoms
• Difficult diagnosis
• Energy collapse

If Ketu Antardasha runs during Rahu Mahadasha, immune confusion may increase.

Step 7: Check the 8th House for Chronic Progression

The 8th house determines whether infection becomes chronic.

Evaluate:

• 8th house occupants
• 8th lord condition
• 6th lord placed in 8th
• Rahu in 8th

If 6th lord moves into 8th house, acute infection may transform into long term illness.

Saturn influencing 8th indicates slow chronic progression.

Step 7: Check the 8th House for Chronic Progression

The 8th house determines whether infection becomes chronic.

Evaluate:

• 8th house occupants
• 8th lord condition
• 6th lord placed in 8th
• Rahu in 8th

If 6th lord moves into 8th house, acute infection may transform into long term illness.

Saturn influencing 8th indicates slow chronic progression.

Step 9: Assess Protective Factors

Before concluding vulnerability, check:

• Strong Lagna lord
• Jupiter aspect on 6th house
• Benefics in Kendras
• Strong Moon
• Strong Navamsa placements

Jupiter often protects immune function.

A strong Lagna can convert chronic illness into manageable condition.

Closing Insight

Lyme disease astrology is about:

• Infection susceptibility
• Immune confusion
• Chronic inflammatory patterns
• Timing of vulnerability
