steoporosis is a condition

characterized by a decrease in the

density of bone reducing its

strength and resulting in fragile bones.

Osteoporosis literally leads to abnormally

porous bone that is compressible, like a

sponge. This disorder of the skeleton

weakens the bone and results in frequentfractures (breaks) in the bones. Osteopenia

is a condition of bone that is slightly less

dense than normal bone, but not to the

degree of bone in osteoporosis.

Normal bone is composed of protein,

collagen, and calcium, all of which give

bone its strength. Bones that are affectedby osteoporosis can break with relatively

minor injury that normally would not

cause a bone to fracture. The fracture can

be either in the form of cracking (as in a

hip fracture) or collapsing (as in a

compression fracture of the vertebrae of

the spine). The spine, hips, ribs, and wrists

are common areas of bone fractures fromosteoporosis although osteoporosis-related

fractures can occur in almost any skeletal

bone.

Astrological Aspects for Osteoporosis

1.

Saturn along with the Sun rules bones, but in a rather reverse form as compared to

Sun. Where Sun is hot and expanding whereas Saturn is cold and contractive. So if

Saturn is connected with the Sun or if the Sun is placed in any of Saturnian Rasis (viz.

Capricorn or Aquarius), then there also will be weak bones which include the teeth,

hair, nails, tibia, etc. This is because of improper nutrition and calcium level to the

bones.

2.

Rahualso causes deformities in bone as it rules kneesand also infection.

3.

MakaraRashi (Capricorn) rules bonestructure so if it is afflicted by the above planets

or if it is in Papa Kartari yoga then it may cause osteoporosis.

4.

SimhaRashi (Leo) owned by the Sun as it rules spine and circulation. If afflicted, it

may cause weak movements of jointsin hands, legs, etc which may lead to osteoporosis

in the longer run.

5. The most powerfulfactor is the 6th lordsassociation with the Sun and is the cause of this

disease. This also holds true from the ChandraLagna for femaleand the Sun lagna for

male.

Now, let us examine some horoscopes where Osteoporosis was detected, only 5 out of 15

charts provided were taken to maintain brevity of the article.

Case 1: Mary Barbara

DOB: 8thJan 1936 Time 9-34 PST (+8.00) LA, CA Lat: 34 N 04; Long: 118 W 05

Here the Lagna is ruled by Saturn who is with malefic Mars which may cause heat in blood

and may arise febrile/pitta disease of skin and bone. Now look at the Sun which is associated

with 6thlord. Also from the Chandra lagna 6thlord Mars, which is afflicted by Saturn. Ketu

aspects the lagna if we take the drishti of Nodes into account.

Case 2: Richard Ann

DOB: 1stSept 1933 Time 6-00 CST (+6.00) Lake View, TX Lat: 29 N 54; Long: 93 W 53

This female has Simha Lagna (Leo). The Sun is associated with Ketu and aspected by Rahu.

In case of the Chandra lagna Makara (Capricorn), she has its lord Saturn in it and 6th lord

Mercury is with the Sun. Rahu is also in a Saturn Rashi. Ketu is in the Suns sign which

causesweak spine structureas said earlier. Many planets placed in the Agni Tatva Rasi may

cause blood heat, create a situation of an acidosis condition. This in turn may lead to a

deteriorating condition ofbones which should be kept in mind by all readers.

Case 3: Alberto Bertuzzi

DOB: 11thJan 1913 Time 9-25 Meti(-1.00) Venice , Italy Lat: 45 N 27; Long: 12 E 21

This man has Makara (Capricorn) Janma and the Sun is with the 6thLord Mercury along

with Mars and Jupiter in 12thhouse which is Badhaka from the 6th house in Dwisvabhava

rashi so Mercury will have Kendradhipati dosha. According to our classical text, in the Maha

dasa of a Kendradhipati dosa planet, there may be a rise in the career but the health

deteriorates. This is what occurred in this case. He received a good public post in Mercury

Maha dasa, but he had health problem and died in Rahu antar dasa of Mercury main dasa.

Case 4: Carole Hemstreet

DOB: 7thJune 1938 Time 6-21 PST (+8.00) LA, CA Lat: 34 N 04; Long: 118 W 15

This woman has Mithuna Lagna (Gemini) in which 6thand 12thlord are positioned. In the 6th

house, Rahu is positioned and aspected by the Sun and the Lagna lord. Here the 12thlord and

lagna lord exchange their places and are also involved with the 8 thlord (aspect of Saturn on

12thhouse) which may give deformity. From the Chandra lagna rasi, Parivartna yoga is formed

between the 6thand 7th lord. The 6thLord aspects the lagna and 7th lord aspects lagna lord

making the situation worse. Here mark the 6th/8th/12thlord association with the lagna lord.

So the Lagna and its lord are extremely weak in this chart as far as health is concerned.

Case 5: Bernardin Joseph

DOB: 2ndFeb 1928 Time 2-00 EST (+5.00) Columbia, SC Lat: 34 N 00; Long: 81 W 02

This male has a Vrischika Lagna (Scorpio), and he has a Makara (Capricorn) Sun sign

Lagna. The 6th lord is hemmed between two malefics, the Sun and Saturn/Ketu.

In the final conclusion, the Suns association with a malefic and the 6th

lord, gives bonedisease and ensures osteoporosis as it gives prolonged disease which may affect nutritional

deficiency in bones.

Remedial Measures

1. Make the Sun strong by chantingAdityaHridyam Strotra.

2. Regular Sun Salutation /Surya Namaskara is a great remedy.

3. If the Sun is afflicted by Rahu, then the Pitru dosha remedyis to be employed.

4.

6. Avoid gas producing foods like cabbage, cauliflower, and too much Dal

(cereals/lentils) to avoid degeneration of calcium. Other commonly known gas

producing food items besides Cabbages are asparagus, brussels, sprouts, and broccoli.

7. Care must be taken with excess use of sugarwhich reduces calcium level in the body.

8. Use enzyme foods like buttermilk (Sour Milk), chhenna (unripened curd cheese), and

curd (Plain Yoghurt)"

9. If you are using milk and it is not getting digested use orange or lemon before or after

milk intake.
