Astrology, Eye Problems and Remedial Measures-1

In astrology the Sun and the Moon represent the right eye and the left eye respectively. Venus is the significator for the eyes as well as for vision. Venus also signifies the lens of the eyes. The second house indicates right eye and twelfth house represents the left eye. Affliction to these two houses and their lords indicate defect in the eyes. Presence of their lords in sixth, eighth or twelfth house damage the concerned eye. Sun in second and twelfth house indicate weakness of the concerned eye. Second and twelfth houses or their lords  having PAC ( Position, aspect and combination) effect of  Saturn and Mars and to some extent Moon also may also lead to many eye troubles. Aspect of  Saturn on Sun is always bad and may lead to trouble to the right eye. Same are the results when Mars aspect Sun .The result is manifested in sub period of aspecting planet i.e. Saturn or Mars. Many combinations for eye trouble are given in classical astrological literature. Some are  given below for the use by the readers:-

1. shloka 47 chapter 7 of sarvarth chintamani:-  If Sun and Moon are there in the twelfth house and are devoid of benefic aspect then the native is blind. If either of  them is there and is aspected by a malefic then the native is blind by one eye. 

2. shloka 71-72 chapter 9 of sarvarth chintamani:-  (i) If Sun or Moon is in 12th house(ii) If Saturn is in trikona and Sun is in seventh or eighth house or these planets are debilitated or in inimical sign or navamsha then one  has less eye sight.

When malefic planets  are there in fourth and fifth house and Moon is in 6th,8th,12th house and has malefic aspect one is blind. No blindness should be predicted if aspected by benefic.

3. shloka 88 ibid states that Moon in 12th or Venus in seventh leads to loss of left eye.

4. shloka 52 chapter 6 of Jatak Parijat (i) If lagna is Leo and Sun and Moon are in Lagna and are aspected by Mars and Saturn the native is blind .If this combination is aspected by Jupiter, then there will be partial loss of eye sight.

(ii ) If instead of Sun and Moon, there is only Sun aspected by  Mars and Saturn the native is blind by right eye only and if Moon by left eye only.(i) and (ii) are for Leo Lagna. If any benefic planet also aspects with Mars and Saturn, there is partial loss of eye sight.   

(iii) Sun and Moon in twelfth house harms the right and left eye respectively.

(iv) Sun in Aries lagna gives eye trouble, in Cancer it gives partial loss of eye sight, in Leo it gives night blindness and in Libra it gives blindness in old age. These combinations are applicable if birth is in these lagnas and Sun is in lagna. This is as per shloka 53 of chapter 6 of Jatak Parijat.

5. Malefic planets in sixth house aspect the twelfth house and hence harm left eye whereas malefics in eighth house aspect second house and hence harm right eye( shloka 54 of chapter 6 of Jatak Parijat. As per chapter 11 of sarvarth chintamani these results do not happen if aspected by benefics. But conjunction or aspect of Venus is always harmful.

6.shloka 55 of chapter 6 of Jatak Parijat.(i) Sun in lagna or seventh house conjunct or aspected by Saturn destroy the right eye whereas conjuction or aspect of Mars and Rahu destroy the left eye. 

7.shloka 57 of chapter 6 of Jatak Parijat.(i) If Mars is lord of second house, Sun and Moon are conjunct, Mars is in eighth from Sun and Moon and Saturn is in sixth or twelfth from Sun and Moon the native is blind.

(ii) Moon in sixth, eighth or twelfth house conjunct Mars and Saturn destroys the eyes.

8.shloka 58 of chapter 6 of Jatak Parijat:- Moon in 6th house, Sun in 8th house, Saturn in 12th house and Mars in second house makes one blind. 

9.shloka 59 of chapter 6 of Jatak Parijat:-(i) If there is conjunction of first and second lords and both are in 6th,8th or 12th house the eyes are destroyed.

(ii) If second lord is in lagna with Moon and Venus the native suffers from night blindness. If second lord is exalted and conjunct with benefics above results do not happen.

10.shloka 65 of Chapter 11 of Jatak Parijat:-(i) If Sun ,Venus and Lagna lord are in invisible part of the horoscope then eye-sight of the native is weak especially when Venus and lagna lord are combust. As per Jatak Alankar these results  happen when Sun ,Venus and Lagna lord  are in fourth or eighth house.

11. shloka 66 of Chapter 11 of Jatak Parijat :-When lagna lord or second lord or fifth lord or seventh lord are in any of the trika (6,8,12) houses and Venus has connection with lagna the native is blind.

12. shloka 67 of Chapter 11 of Jatak Parijat:-(i) If fifth lord, sixth lord and Venus are present in lagna native looses eyes due to the wrath of the King( Now a days it may mean fault of the authority.)

(ii) This yoga relates to ear troubles and hence not given in this article.

13.shloka 68 ofChapter 11 of Jatak Parijat :-(i) If second lord, Mars, Saturn and Gulik are together it leads to eye trouble (ii) If there are more than one malefic in second house and Saturn aspects them there is weak eyesight

commentator Sh. Gopesh Kumar Ojha adds,” our experience is that even one malefic in second or twelfth house causes weak eyesight. Any malefic or Sun or Moon in second or twelfth house and a malefic aspects them there is weak eyesight. 

14.According to Brihat Jatak if there is Rahu eclipsed Sun in lagna and Mars and Saturn are in trikona the native is blind.(ii) If Sun and Moon are in 6/12 axis the native and his wife both are blind by one eye.

I have given reference to only four classics above. Other classics have also given combinations for eye trouble. But no classic has given reference to specific eye disease. The modern astrologers have given some combinations for cataract but I could not find combinations for other eye problems e.g glaucoma etc. Hence I made my own research and result of research is given in this article. 

combinations for cataract 

Cataract happens when the lens of the eyes becomes opaque or cloudy. Due to it the light can not reach the retina completely. The treatment for cataract consists in removing the lens  and replacing it with a powerful eye glass or contact lens.

1.Combination of Sun with Ketu in 2nd,12th,6th and 8th houses and unaspected by benefics causes severe inflammation of the eyes which generally leads to cataract. 

2. Lord of lagna with lord of 2nd house in a trika house also causes cataract due to inflammation of the eyes.

3. Sun in Cancer lagna may also cause cataract in early middle age. Dr Jagannath Rao is of the opinion that all watery signs with Sun in lagna may lead to cataract.(Principles and Practice of Medical Astrology P-86).

4. In my opinion Venus should be weak or afflicted or trika lord/in a trika house or in mrityu bhaba or a badhak place/badhaka lord or in any other inauspicious station for cataract to happen. It is because Venus represents lens of the eyes and cataract happens when the lens of the eyes becomes opaque or cloudy . 

A chart of a person who suffered from cataract at a young age is furnished below. This chart has been taken from the book of Sh. Jagannath Rao(Principles and Practice of Medical Astrology P-85):- Lagna is a 

watery sign. It is occupied by Sun and Mars and is in Mrityu Bhaga. Combination is aspected by Saturn. Hence Sun is afflicted. In D-1 Moon is exalted and is not aspected by any malefic. But in D-9 it is with Sun in Rahu-Ketu axis and is aspected by Saturn. Even in D-1 it has Ketu on one side and aspect of Mars on other side. It has Rahu-Ketu axis along 6/12 axis. It shows  that Sun and Moon both are afflicted. Second house is in Rahu-Ketu axis. Second lord Mars is in first house and is combust.12th house is occupied by fourth and seventh lord Mercury. It has fifth aspect of Rahu. It shows effect of Rahu-Ketu on second and twelfth house indicating inflammation of the eyes leading to cataract. Venus is conjunct Saturn and is in Dhanishta nakshatra of Mars. It is also eighth lord where Rahu is present. Hence Venus is also a culprit in development of cataract. The native developed cataract in both the eyes at tender age of ten years.  Now I give below the example of a person who suffered from cataract in old age.

Second house has Jupiter. It is not aspected by any malefic. Twelfth house is occupied by Sun in his own house-good for eye sight. This sun has Saturn on one side and aspect of Mars and Saturn on the other side. Except this there is no malefic influence on Sun. Moon and Venus are afflicted by aspect of Saturn and Mars. Let us have a look at the Navamsa chart. 

Second house has Mercury in inimical sign but it is free of any malefic influence. Twelfth house has Saturn in its mool trikona sign. Only Sun, Venus and Moon have aspect of Mars. Moon is in Rahu-Ketu axis too.

In some other charts of cataract in old age also I have seen that malefic influences on second and twelfth house and on Sun, Moon and Venus is not severe. Dasa of planets afflicting the concerned houses/their lords also came late in old age. The cataract operation of the native took place when he was more than seventy five years old.  

In part-2 of this article I will deal with glaucoma, some other eye troubles and remedial measures.
