Astrological Principles for Heart Disease

Analysis of heart health from a medical astrology perspective, designating the Sun as the significator of heart and the sign Simha (Leo) as representing the heart of the Kalapurusha. The 5th house designates the heart and the 4th house the chest. Cardiac illness is indicated by disease of the Sun and afflictions by multiple malefics (Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu) on the Sun, 5th house/lord, and 4th house, particularly from trika houses (6th, 8th, 12th) or their lords. Dashas of planets relating to these factors can lead to illness.
