LearnAstrology I have a friend Darshan Kaur, whose niece suffers from impaired hearing and
TotheEditor speech. Unfortunately, her niece (now 15) has congenital stonedeafness and
speechloss,andDarshanhasgainedmuchexperienceinspeechtherapyoverthe
NewsandEvents years. For last one year, Darshan is experimenting "LIP READING" with her
Astrological niece and was very successful. Encouraged by her efforts, she started coaching
Predictions andhelpingotherchildrentoimprovetheirspeech.Moreandmoreparentshave
started sending their handicapped children to her, and a great improvement was
noticedinthem.Iwasaskedtostudytheirbirthchartsascasestudies.So,hereis
abriefaccountofit.

Ears are very important sense organs of our body, associated with the sense of
hearing. In a Nativity, the 3rd house and sign Gemini (3rd house of natural
zodiac) are connected with hearing and Aakash Tatva, governed by Jupiter, is
responsible for manifesting the Sound, which the ears can hear. The 2nd house
and sign Taurus (the 2nd house of natural zodiac) is connected with organs of
speech(LarynxandVocalCordsetc).

Affliction to 3rd house and 3rd lord and sign Gemini can cause affliction to
hearing. The 2nd house governs throat region and "Speech." Affliction to 2nd
houseand2ndlordcancauseimpairedspeech.Thirdhouseofthenaturalzodiac
