Arthritis and Saturn

January 15, 2009 Filed under: Medical Astrology

Arthritis stands for inflammation of a joint (arthro-, joint + -itis, inflammation from Greek). There are different forms of arthritis; the most common one being osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease). Some of the other forms are autoimmune ( in which the body attacks itself) like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Septic arthritis is a form of joint infection whereas Gouty arthritis is caused by deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint, causing inflammation. Pseudogout, an uncommon form, is caused by the formation of rhomboid crystals of calcium pyrophosphate. According to Ayurveda, this is a windy (Vata) disease. In Vedic Astrology, Saturn is the main planet causing this windy disease that has gradual growth. We list here some planetary combinations for arthritis.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Mars in the 5th, the 7th or the 9th as Saturn is in the Ascendant. Venus in the 8th house in aspect to a malefic.

10. Venus and Mars in the 12th house. 11. Saturn aspecting powerfully the Ascendant or the Moon, 12. Lord of the Ascendant or that of the 6th conjunct Rahu. 13. Combustion to the Moon in association with Rahu.
