The Dasha scheme helps in determining the timings and duration of the illness. Hence, it is very much possible to ascertain the susceptibility of heart disease by analyzing the Birth Chart of a native.

Astrological Principles

• Sun is the main planet responsible for heart disease.
• Leo- The Leo sign indicates the heart of the Kal Purush, its affliction causes heart diseases.
• Fourth House- The Fourth House is also known as the House of Heart. It indicates the odds of complications and heart surgery.
• Fifth House- Affliction of the Fifth house and its Lord is very much responsible for causing heart disease.
• In Medical Astrology, every disease is predicted through some planetary combinations and positions.

Houses Responsible For Heart Disease

The First (House of Personality), the Sixth (House of Disease), the Eighth (House of Incurable Disease), and the Twelfth (House of Hospitalization) are the main houses responsible for Heart Disease.
