Definition.-The lord of Lagna must join the 4th or 12th in conjunction with Mars and Mercury-A.
Jupiter should occupy the 6th in association with Saturn and the Moon-B.
Results.-The person suffers from leprosy.
Remarks.-The dreadful disease of leprosy, though said to be caused by insanitary and unclean habits of living, is generalty traced to moral turpitude in one’s previous life. In spite of all medical pretensions, leprosy could never really be checked. But during certain periods, it seems to subsides lightly. According to combination A, Lagnadhipathi, Mars and Mercury should be found in the 4th or 12th. Here again the nature of the ascendant and the general strength of the horoscope should be carefully
considered. Combination B requires the presence
of Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon in the 6th. In
applying these yogas, due consideration should be
given to the disposirion of the 6th Bhava. When Saturn, Mercury and Lagnadhipathi are together and Rahu and the Sun are in the 6th, the person suffers from a severe form of leprosy. Lomasa goes to the extent of suggesting that the mere presence of Jupiter and the Moon in the 6th house gives rise to leprosy between the ages of 19 and 22. The truth of this
has to be tested by applying the principles to a large number of horoscopes. My Research Department has been collecting a large number of horoscopes of persons suffering from various types of diseases and I hope to place before my esteemed readers, the results of my investigations in clue course. I must caution amateur astrologers against coming to premature conclusions regarding the nature of diseases one is likely to suffer from unless they have gained sufficient practical experience.
