Rahu is the supporting planet for medicine since it deals with poison. Mild poison is a medicine.

You
need a thorn like thing to get out the thorn stuck in the flesh. So you need the energy of Rahu to get
out the poison. Rahu is the snake. 7000 years ago the Indian Masters of Astrology said that Rahu is
intimately connected with the medical profession. Do you accept this? Well if you do not you will
have to give me an explanation on why the following symbol was chosen internationally to represent
“Doctors”?

If you look closely the symbol also resembles the DNA model as seen by scientists Watson and
Crick.

The Snake or Rahu may also mean the end of poison or disease. The end of disease, ignorance and
fear. So the doctor by this symbol may be trying to tell their patients that they know how to control
the snake (poison) in their body.

From ancient times in India, whenever the poison element was to be tamed or subdued, the worship
of snake gods or goddesses or Nag-worship was recommended. So the placement of Rahu is
certain houses or the influence of Rahu on certain houses or planets involving profession or purpose
of life (Karma) indicated that the person had greater luck in the field of medicine.
Look at the snake god(dess) on the right side. Do they resemble something?

Sun should be strong not just by placement in a particular sign (rasi) but should be really strong in
Shadbala. It should be well related to the 10th house, which deals with your profession. It should be
related to at least the 6th house or the 2nd house of income.

When planets ruling the 10th house (profession) occupies the 6th house (Disease) it may indicate a
profession that is linked to disease control. Even the lord of the 6th house in the 10th house may
indicate the same thing. But your karma cannot be deciphered just by one planetary combinations.
You should study the horoscope from several angles which is why finding the right profession using
Astrology is best left to the experts in Astrology.

In the Dasamsa Chart, which is primarily used for knowing more about profession, Sun should
occupy either the Lagna or the 10th house or at least the 4th house from where Sun aspects the
10th house of profession.

The presence of the 2nd lord in the 7th house makes an excellent physician
as per Maharshi Parasara (3200 BC). The other side of this combination is that such
doctors are usually inclined to frequent sexual relationships. That is okay considering the fact that
they save a lot of human life.

It has been found that the most famous doctors had most of these planetary combinations existing in
their horoscopes. Of course there are more rules that would help find if the person is going to be the
“Lucky Hand Doctor” a term often used in India.

The rules:
The Doctor would do well in Surgery if he has a strong Mars well related to the houses concerning
livelihood because Mars is related to blood, injuries, knife etc. I know a doctor who became a great
cardiologist but will faint when he sees blood. He got a doctorate on heart surgery or something at a
very young age. When I asked him to speak in the Rotary Club that I belong to, he said he was
scared of seeing a large group of people staring at him. He was a good bookworm and was a topper
in his batch.
*If Mars is not strong then the person would be afraid of seeing blood or perform surgical operations
or may have bad luck with surgery. If the Jupiter is strong they should just consult and advise but not
use the tools that cut (Mars).

*If the Moon is strong while the conditions for becoming a doctor are satisfied in the horoscope, then
the person would become a good gynaecologist since Moon is related to childbirth.

*If Jupiter is well-related then the person would become a very good child specialist since Jupiter
deals with children. Or simply a doctor doing the desk job of simply dispensing with medicine and
advise – telling the patients the dos and don’t s.

*If Venus is well related under these conditions then the doctor can get into Cosmetic Surgery or any
branch of medicine, which enhances skin quality or beauty in general. Or may be a sexologist, a
urologist or anything related to sex organs as Venus rules the sex organs.

*If Saturn is strongly related then the person would become a good dentist since Saturn rules the
teeth. Saturn rules the bones so he may be good as a bone and joint specialist.

*If Mercury is strong then the doctor can specialise in kidney related studies, or anything to do with
transporting systems of the body. He may also be a neurologist. Mercury is the electronics planet. In
the human body Mercury connects to all signal system like nerves through which signals are carried.

*If Sun is extremely well related to all these houses then the person can become a famous
cardiologist. Sun is the center of the solar system. The heart is the center of our body. The pulsating
organ like the Sun pulsating with light and energy.
