Hi Samarth,In Western Astrology, the 12th house indicates serious illness.
Hi Aselzion,
I use Rex Bills The Rulership Book and it has never failed me in regards to what rules what. But, yes, disease can be indicated by 6th house planets and aspects to same.
I have found a very reliable chart that not too many use. It was written about by Robert Carl Jansky and is called a South Nodal Chart. You place the South node on the first house as the degree of the Ascendent and the North node on the Descendent as the degree of the 7th house, all other houses are in equal degrees and follow the signs around. The ascendent represents the top of the head and the descendent represents the soles of the feet.
You then place your planets in the corresponding signs in the houses.
House 1 + 12 represent the head down to the collar bone
House 2 + 11 represent the collar bone down to the diaphragm, everything in the chest
House 3 + 10 represent the stomach, upper
small intestine, liver, spleen and pancreas, extending down to an imaginary line through the kundalini point just below the navel.
House 4 + 9 reresent the lower abdoman, rectum, kidneys, bladder, large intestine and organs of reproduciton, and the hips
House 5 + 8 represent the buttocks and upper legs, extending down to an imaginary line drawn through the center of each knee cap.
House 6 + 7 represent the lower legs and feet.
The houses 1 thru 6 represent the right side of the body.
The houses 7 thru 12 represent the left side of the body.
The center of the chart wheel does not represent the navel, but rather the Oriental word called the kundalini point, the point of connection between the physical and etheric bodies. They say this is the point Buddha contemplated and not his navel during meditation.
Oh, one thing interesting, there is a left handed signature in a South Nodal chart which indicates the person who will be left handed. It is the Sun above the horizen and 6 other planets in houses 6 thru 12, the left side of the chart.
This information came from a holistic. homeopathic Doctor in England and he taught it to Jansky. It works. It surprises me that so few use it.
The planets are not in their traditional rulerships of various portions of the body, but they do follow certain principles based on their essences. Here are some principles.
Sun - vitality, well-being, focus of attention
Moon - non-glandular bodily fluids, fluid retention, fluctuation of condition
Mercury - agility of that bodily portion, mental outlook on condition in that region, "nerves"
Venus - where one is most inclined to beautify (via ornamentation, makeup, etc. even when one is ill), *may* show areas venereal conditions wind up affecting, possibly the endocrine system
Mars - blood, inflammation of a febrile or acute nature, fevers, infections Jupiter - expansion of bodily part or condition, and with Mars, where one overdoes matters.
Saturn - constriction, limitation, skeleton, stone formation, possibly arthritis
Uranus - muscle spasms, cramps, electrical impulses, nervous system
Neptune - poisoning, toxicity, conditions of unknown or undetected origins, chronic or lymphatic fevers, glandular fluids, possibly substance abuse
Pluto - where located, shows area of greatest transformation, conditions originating on cellular and DNA levels, the most hidden conditions that take years to develop, *possibly* benign or malignant conditions
It is very helpful to look at transits, aspects are important!
