In Vedic astrology, our health, vitality, and even longevity are believed to be directly influenced by the placement of planets in our birth chart. Just as the moon affects tides and natural rhythms, celestial bodies are said to impact our physical and emotional well-being. When certain planets are afflicted, weak, or placed in unfavorable houses, they may lead to specific health problems.

While modern medicine treats the symptoms of diseases, astrology tries to uncover the cosmic cause. In this blog, we’ll explore how the misalignment of key planets can lead to health issues — and how you can bring relief through simple astrological remedies.

How Do Planets Affect Your Health?

Each planet in Vedic astrology governs different organs, energies, and bodily systems. A planet’s malefic (negative) impact could be due to:

Placement in enemy signs or weak houses (like 6th, 8th, or 12th)

Aspects from malefic planets like Rahu, Ketu, or Saturn

Being retrograde or combust (burnt by proximity to the Sun)

Weak planetary strength in the Navamsa chart
