Understanding where disease originates, deepens, and dissolves in the birth chart.
These three houses form the core diagnostic triangle in Vedic health astrology.
The 6th House. Disease and Imbalance
The 6th house governs infection, inflammation, gut disorders, stress related conditions, and daily health habits. It reveals how one handles routine, diet, and lifestyle. Affliction here often indicates recurring but manageable illnesses.
The planet ruling the 6th shows the style of disease:
- Mars indicates inflammation.
- Saturn indicates chronic pain.
- Mercury indicates nervous or digestive disorders.
- Moon indicates hormonal imbalance.
- Rahu indicates mysterious symptoms.
The 8th House. Chronic and Genetic Karma
The 8th house governs longevity, hidden disease, surgeries, trauma, autoimmune patterns, and inherited vulnerabilities. This is where unresolved ancestral karma can manifest physically.
Strong malefic influence here can indicate long term health transformation themes.
The 8th house does not always mean disease. It means depth. But when activated by difficult Dashas, it often correlates with health turning points.
The 12th House. Loss of Vitality
The 12th house represents hospitalization, confinement, sleep disorders, and energy depletion. It also governs mental isolation and psychosomatic conditions.
Planets here may drain energy unless consciously managed.
Together, these houses create the flow of health karma:
6th house equals imbalance
8th house equals deep transformation
12th house equals surrender and release
When Dashas activate all three simultaneously, health events often intensify.
