9. Yogas for Good Health

9.1 Longevity without good health has no meaning. A native with poor health & diseases at times begs God for death instead of life. Some of the astrological yogas for good health are:

1.. Lagnesh, Moon, Sun, Jupiter and 6^th lord are well fortified by position, conjunction or aspect.

2. Strong & unafflicted Moon, Mercury & Jupiter in any sign.

3. Lagnesh is in exaltation, own or friendly sign in a Kendra/Trikone.

4. Combination of mars, Mercury, Jupiter & Venus by position or aspect.

5. Mars in Leo aspected by Venus gives permanent youthfulness.

6. Mercury & Jupiter in lagna with Saturn in 11^th house, gives a healthy body.

7. Strong 6^th, 8^th & 12^th lords (but weaker than lord of lagna/ 10^th) confer a robust body.

8. A natural malefic planet as Lagnesh, posited in a Trikone, gives strong vitality & health.

9. Lagnesh is stronger than 6^th lord and the 4^th lord is also strong, native has perfect health.

10. Strong Lagnesh, Sun & Moon, free from malefic influence but enjoying benefic aspects, give great physical & mental power.

11. Positioning or aspect of benefics on 7^th house.

12. Benefics posited in Kendra, Trikone and 2^nd house, jointly or separately, gives long life & good health.

The native was a divine saint. Although she became a widow at a very young age, she maintained good health till the end of over 86 years of life. The reasons were that she four exalted planets. Lagna had Vargottam exalted Venus aspected by exalted Jupiter. Lagnesh-10^th lord & Moon sign lord, Jupiter, was exalted in a Trikone (5^th house), 6^th lord Sun was exalted in 2^nd house and 11-12^th lord Saturn was exalted in 8^th house. Moon was alone in 10^th house aspected by exlated Saturn and its Nakshtra lord Ketu. All the four benefics are in exaltation/ friendly signs. The lords of Trika houses are strong but not stronger than 10^th or lagna lord. All these factors gave her a sound health till the end.

10. Summary

10.1 The first step to tackle the very intricate problem of assessing longevity is to put in broad life span of Balarishta, short, medium and long/full life with the help of various yogas given by astrological savants. The Balarishta are special cases as they may be caused due to evil karmas of parents in their previous life. In this chapter, 20 yogas of Balarishta, 13 yogas for its anti-dots, 22 yogas for short life and five of its cancellation; 14 yogas for medium life, eight yogas for sudden/ unnatural deaths; 15 yogas for long/ full life and 12 yogas for good health are discussed. Thus a total of 110 yogas have been covered in this chapter. Two charts of Balarishta, one of its cancellation and one of long life with good health has also been discussed.
