Case Study on Varicose Veins

Astro Guide Mysore

Varicose  Veins

About the dysfunction:

Varicose Veins is a dysfunction happens when the valves of the veins which carry blood from the legs backward to the heart fail.  Blood flow becomes slow and hence becomes thick and dense resulting in swelling of the veins.  A noticeable blue coloration of the veins, disfigurement and sometimes internal rupture/bleeding also can happen in severe cases.

Cause: People who have jobs wherein they mostly stand acquire this problem fast (ex. Teachers, Sportsmen, Traffic Police, Security, Bus conductors, etc.).  Now-a-days software professionals who continuously sit in their seats succumb to this dysfunction, due to lack of blood circulation to the lower parts of the limbs.

Effect: Initially this results in cramps and pain in the legs. It becomes difficult to climb stairs or stand for a long time.  In the second level, there is visible dark coloration of the veins in the legs.  In the third level, the veins swell and protrude out so that one can feel by moving their hand on the affected area. In severe cases there is internal bleeding due to vein rupture and later may cause bacterial infection.

Cure: Since it is a permanent damage to the valves and they cannot be replaced, there are very less options for cure.

Wearing stockings gives relief and delays the advancement of the problem to next stages.

In cases where there is no use of stockings, the veins are removed.  In this case the person suffers from pain for almost a year until other subsidiary veins take up the load.

Yoga and Pranayama have proved very effective in curing this dysfunction when diagnosed in initial stages.

This case study is to analyze the charts using Astrological Parameters and make students understand its utility in the field of diagnostics.

Case No.1

In the below shown case the native in his young age was an active sportsman.  He was good at Volley Ball and Foot Ball and played at District level.

MARS		SATURN(R)  ASC  JUPITER(R)			ASC		KETU
KETU	Janma Kundali				MERCURY	Navamsha Kundali
			RAHU		SATURN			SUN JUPITER
VENUS	MOON SUN	MERCURY			MARS	RAHU	MOON VENUS

Balance dasa at birth : Saturn – 7y–9m-22d

Saturn the lord of the 9^th and 10^th and Jupiter the lord of 8^th and 11^th are placed in the Ascendant.  Both the planets are retrograde in motion.  Venus the significator of Veins is placed in the 8^th house making it weak. Mercury the significator of Skin is placed in the 6^th.

It was in the Sun dasa which started on 10.07.1993 the problem surfaced.  Mars the dispositor of Sun is placed in the 11^th house.  Mars is also the 12^th lord.  The 10^th house is afflicted by the placement of Ketu.  The problem very quickly caught up and though the native was using stockings very diligently, surgery could not be avoided.  In the Maha Dasa of Sun and Antar Dasa of Ketu the Surgery took placed.  Veins were removed from both the legs.

Case No. 2

MARS(R)		KETU	VENUS		SUN	KETU    ASC
	Janma Kundali		SUN		VENUS	Navamsha Kundali		MARS SATURN
			JUPITER MERCURY					JUPITER
	RAHU SATURN MOON	ASC					MERCURY RAHU	MOON

Balance dasa at birth : Saturn – 11y–6m-22d

The native is tall and very active.  She has continuously been in jobs where she would require standing for long hours.  This has contributed to the degeneration of the varicose valves.

Venus is the 8^th lord placed in the 9^th house. Jupiter the 6^th lord is placed in the 11^th house aspected by Saturn from the 2^nd house (10^th aspect).  Mars (retrograde) is aspecting venus (4^th aspect). Saturn the significator of legs is afflicted by conjunction with Rahu and the 10^th lord Moon.

The problem in her legs was diagnosed in the Maha dasa of Venus.  The problem became severe when the veins ruptured and there was internal bleeding.  Surgery was performed in the dasa of Venus/Ketu to arrest bleeding, but the veins were not removed.

From the above two charts we can analyze that all the planets involved have their roles to perform. As astrologers we can use these parameters and make aware the native of the effects of this dysfunction.  Early corrective measures in, daily routine and exercise, diet and nutrition and timely rest to the legs in stressed working conditions, will surely help in a big way.  Many have realized the importance of this science of medical astrology and have made good progress in tackling problems related to the varicose more effectively.

For students of astrology, the main focus should be on Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Rahu.  Their placements and influence should be studied in detail.
