SICKNESS – A CASE STUDY

A question generally raised, whether astrologer can raise a query personally for himself. My answer to the question is `Yes’, if he maintains some standards of impartiality as he does in case of others. To prove this point, I present a case study.

            My wife developed pain in her abdomen on 9^th January 2006. In spite of medical treatment by different doctors, relief did not place. On 10^th night, we took her to St. Stephen’s Hospital and on 11-01-2006, in the morning; she was operate upon suspected Appendix burst. After operation, doctors declared that appendix was suspect and there was puss in her ovary, which was cleared, though doctors declared it a successful operation, she was not returning to normality. On 14^th January, she was shifted from ward to post operation room and when condition further deteriorated, she was taken to ICU on 15^th. Immediately, she was CAT scanned, lumber punctured, placed up on the support of ventilator till 19^th January. Everyday, once in the morning, doctors told that she is critical, she is sinking, chances of survival are poor. On 19^th January, in the morning I saw her in ICU, lying unconscious, under ventilator and different tubes, even her facial complexion was blackish due to illness. I could hardly see any sign of life in her except breathing under oxygen ventilator. She was on dialysis 3 times. So at the sight I broke in the ICU itself.

            The same noon, my faculty, colleagues Sh. M.N. Kedar and Sh. K. Rangachari came to me to know her wellbeing. Kedarji brought with him his palm top. He examined my and my son’s chart and told that time is difficult. Suddenly, Sh. Rangachari asked to furnish the day’s transit. Kedarji gave the ascendant rising at the time also. Now, it was a Prashna chart. Sh. Chari had a look at the chart and told there is no threat to life of the patient and placed the Prashna chart before me. The chart was as shown.

Chart gave encouraging picture lagna and moon both in fixed sign indicated present situation not changing. It also indicated diagnosis made by doctors is correct, 3^rd lord full moon, posited in 4^th house in the last degrees of the sign having friendly ithasal with 4^th lord sun (medicine). Moon in pap katari indicate very poor health and condition of the patient. Moon going in Poorna ithasai with mercury, its sign dispositor Lagnesh Venus is having ithasal with 8^th and 11^th lord Jupiter blessing longevity to the patient. Exchange between 6^th & 8^th lords gives faster recovery, 7^th lord Mars in 12^th, own house, in purna ithasal with Jupiter.

            It was predicted that recovery will take some time but there is no risk to the life not as doctors felt, the same evening, at 4.30 p.m., when we had a look at her from the window, she was moving her neck. It meant she gained consciousness. On 1^st February, she was shifted from ICU to post operative room and on 6^th to ward and on 14^th February, she was discharged from the hospital.
