Astrological Combinations for Medical Profession
(Excerpt from the Article published in Vedic Astrology Magazine Mar-Apr 1997)
- Dr. K.S.Charak MS(Surgery), FRCS (UK)
“From inability to leave well alone;
From too much zeal for what is new and
contempt for what is old;
From putting knowledge before wisdom,
Science before art, cleverness before
Common sense;
From treating patients as cases; and
From making the cure of a disease more
Grievous than its endurance;
Good Lord, deliver us”.
The above Medical Litany holds true alike for the practitioners of medicine and astrology. What is more, it assumes certain aspects or features that are inherent to the process concerned with the making of a medical man of today. The same features can be appropriately elaborated for application of astrological principles to horoscopes in order to justify a medical career or forecast it in the chart of a medical aspirant.
The prayer incorporates a deep sentiment of humanism and virtue, stressing at the same time wisdom no less than knowledge, art no less the science, common sense no less than cleverness. It lays a deep faith in a benevolent Lord who is besought to ‘deliver’ the implorer from numerous pitfalls mentioned herein. Considering this, the astrologically inclined would immediately look for a dominant role for the benign Jupier in the charts of Medical men.
While there is a desire to do good, there is also a hint that one could possess a “inability to leave well alone” or be capable of “making the cure of a disease more grievous than its endurance”. These apparently negative abilities are essential to anyone who undertakes to understand and treat ailments. It is by mastering this knowledge of what hurts, and what does not, does the medical practitioner acquire the skill of relieving pain and disease. It is here that the role of an afflicted Moon, or an afflicted Fifth House or Fifth Lord assumes significance by providing the skill to “poison” even if with the aim to save.
As in medicine, so in astrology one has to proceed from classical principles, without ‘contempt for what is old” and apply these in the modern context, in a balanced manner, after testing them in several charts, without “too much zeal for what is new”. This process involves the acquisition of modern, scientific/technical knowledge under the influence of the technical planets, Mars, Saturn and Rahu. And this knowledge attained through the Fifth House of learning, has to be put to use through the Tenth House of Karma. The application and utility of this knowledge is for the patient. It is here that the Twelfth house concerned with hospitals and beds assume significance.
In a nutshell, the general astrological principles involved in the making of a doctor should consider the following:
The Fifth house - depicting education
The Tenth house - depicting Karma or profession
The Twelfth house - depicting hospitals and beds
The technical Planets - Mars, Saturn and Rahu
An afflicted Moon, Fifth House, Fifth Lord - giving an ability to poison, in the modern context, the use of drugs/medicines.
A dominant role of Jupiter on the Lagna (Ascendant), the Fifth, Tenth, the Moon, the Tenth House from the Moon, to make the whole affair humane, mature and benevolent.
Comments by Raj Rao
The author a unique combination of a great Surgeon and a renowned Astrologer, offers us deep astrological insight into professions in general and Medical Profession in particular. He provides detailed examples of twenty cases of Medical Professionals.
For the lay reader, lets simplify the article and provide you with an instant tool to see if you (or somebody you know) has an inclination towards the Medical Profession.
The foremost requirement is a humane approach to life and people. This is only possible if the Lagna (Ascendant or First House) that represents the self, body and persona is influenced by the most benevolent planet Jupiter. This planet is also represents the healing energy or Ayur Vidya.
It is necessary for the interests of Fifth House, Tenth House and Twelfth House (education, profession and hospitals) to converge to create a medical profession.
In addition to the above, the timing of entering the profession, significant changes to the profession are indicated through the study of astrological epochs called Dashas.
