Indian Astrology is a useful and path-lading science since Vedic Era, but its use in the medical field is perhaps the most important one.
It is not a fact that mystery of so many diseases and health troubles is still unrevealed even by much advanced modern medical science. Medical Astrology is that branch of Astrology dealing with health. The 12 signs of the Zodiac are linked to the 12 limbs of the body.
The Ascendant rules the head and the 12th house, the feet etc. The planetary connection to various diseases has already been established beyond doubt by our wise sages of ancient times, but much of their knowledge had not percolated to posterity with the passage of time and lack of proper scientific approach could not make much headway in this arena of Predictive Medical Astrology.
It is a well established fact that definitive link exists between the 1st, 6th 8th and 12th cusp or bhava and their sub lords in ones horoscope to the occurrence of disease in the conjoined period of the significators of these cusp.
All the 12 houses of a horoscope signify the different parts of the human body, i.e 1s House- Head, 2nd House- Eyes and Face, 3rd House- Arms and Shoulders etc. Each zodiac sign, constellation and planets are ruling certain parts of a human body and affect and control them by their energy.
Detection of diseases from the horoscope is generally referred to as Medical Astrology. A doctor is capable to predict any disease by symptoms of a patient as well as by various investigations. But an astrologer is able to predict about the disease of a person just from analyzing the horoscope. If there is a chance of occurrence of Cancer to a person, an astrologer can predict before a few years. He can overcome that disease by suitable stones etc.
