Astrology is a great science which unfolds the secrets of human beings in a wonderful manner.

The whole scheme of Astrology lies in analyzing a given chart thoroughly through various means propounded in Astrology.

Astrology is a multidimensional science encompassing all branches of knowledge through the planets in exemplary manner which puzzles even the modern scientists many times.

Among the various sciences, the modern medicine is the one which has progressed leaps and bounds in this century.

The traditional knowledge of medicine being projected since ages in India is “Ayurveda” and in the ages of the past, it was also compulsory for a student studying Ayurveda to Acquire Astrological knowledge.

On late, the modern medical science does not have any link with the influences of planets unlike the oriental medical science of Ayurveda which emphasizes the diagnosis of diseases on the Tridoshas- the Vatha, Pitta and kapha meaning airy, bilous and phlegmatic humour.

The sages of the yore were quite knowledgeable in many subjects and were great stalwarts of high wisdom and some of them even wrote Samhitas for which it is said that one had to acquire knowledge of various subjects without which it was impossible to be an author of Samhitas.

Astrology in its branch of medicine has a large number of combinations of planets causing different diseases in its own way. One is amazed at the almost perfact accuracy of the planetary combinations (Astrological principles), our sages have enunciated from time immemorial by way of innumerable stanzas in Sanskrit.

An effort to analyse various disease through this science of Astrology is made in this thesis by taking the modern medicine in the fold of Astrology. Further, applying the principles of modern medicine to that of Ayurveda of the past which in its Charaka Samhita stipulates it’s horizon on the diseases of the mankind and efforts are made to apply the principles of Astrology and to find the effect of planetary combinations to diagnose the diseases and further to detect possibility of surgery and surgical tendencies of a person.

An attempt to detect the impotency, childlessness, barrenness etc. from the birth chart is made which in case of medical science is possible only after through medical investigations and after many pathological tests.

An effort to analyse the diseases of the native with reference to the charts of their kith and kin is also made.

In short, this science of Astrology is throwing light on the anatomy, the physical conditions, and the mental dispositions etc. of a native in its own specialized manner and no wonder this science will give us a very high percentage of success provided it is viewed without bias by the modern doctors. But they rely on the stethoscope and various umpteen numbers of pathological tests for their day to day diagnosis unlike the single tool of Astrology, the Horoscope.
