Understanding Cancer

Cancer is a not a standalone disease. It is a group of diseases related to each other that are bound by an uncontrollable cell growth. This cell growth attacks the nearby tissues and spreads to various parts of the body. There are more than 200 types of known cancer. It includes breast, colon, lung, prostrate, etc.

This day raises awareness about early detection and how regular screenings can save a lot of lives. The disease is no longer what it was 2 decades ago. With modern available treatments, the patients have a higher chance of being cancer-free and less risk of losing their lives. This day encourages people to be aware of the treatments available, as well as undertake preventative care measures.

Medical Astrology

Cancer treatment is synonymous with modern medicine. Various modern medicines like surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, etc. are known to treat this deadly disease. These treatments are backed by decades of research and implementation, that have saved countless lives.

However, many people, now opt for alternative treatment options. These alternative treatment options are consulted for guidance, support, and holistic-level treatment. One such system is medical astrology, an ancient practice that uses an individual’s natal horoscope to understand potential health vulnerabilities, timing of illnesses, and personalised remedies rooted in astrology.

Medical astrology does not replace modern treatments. It is a complementary care that understands people from their planetary placements. It analyses the person’s health tendencies, stress patterns, and mental-emotional responses. Many a times, it helps in pre-diagnosing a disease before it has occurred.

How Medical Astrology observes Cancer

As per Mr. Prashant Kapoor, cancer can be analysed through planetary positions and their influence on the body’s constitution. There are certain planetary placements and configurations in the birth chart that make the person susceptible to certain health conditions like cancer. Some of the studies include:

• Studying the malefic effects of Rahu, Ketu, or Shani on the Moon. Moon is responsible for body fluids and white blood cells. Afflicted Moon can lead to unnecessary growth of the blood cells and can increase the chances of cancer.
• 6^th, 8^th, 10^th, and 12^th are the houses for health. If these houses are afflicted by Rahu and Ketu, there is increased chances of Cancer.
• Maha Dasha or Antar Dasha of Rahu can also increase the possibility of Cancer.
• Jupiter is the planet of expansion. If that is afflicted, the person might suffer from this deadly disease.
• If Moon is in Saturn’s nakshatra, there can be malefic influences that could lead to cancer.

A proper analysis of the birth chart is done to understand the effects of the planets. And accordingly, remedies are suggested by the Medical Astrologer.
