Planetary Affliction and Disease Timing

A planet alone does not cause illness. Timing activates vulnerability.

This is why Dashas are essential.

If Saturn rules the 6th house and Saturn Mahadasha begins, chronic health themes may surface. If Mars is debilitated in the 8th house and Mars Antardasha activates, surgery or inflammation may occur.

Transits can trigger short term symptoms, but Dashas create sustained themes.

Three key activation factors must align:

1. Afflicted planet
2. House of disease involvement
3. Dasha or Antardasha activation

When these combine, karmic health events become visible.

However, benefic aspects from Jupiter or strong Lagna support can soften severity.

Health astrology is never deterministic. It is conditional.

A weak Jupiter may indicate metabolic vulnerability. But disciplined diet and spiritual alignment can prevent manifestation.

This is where karma meets free will.

The birth chart shows predisposition.
Lifestyle determines expression.
Timing determines activation.

Understanding the planetary organ map transforms astrology from symbolic language into diagnostic framework.

In the next chapter, we will examine how Dashas determine when dormant health karma activates and how to read disease timing accurately.
