Introduction
Jyotish is a Sanskrit term derived from two roots; Jyoti, which means light, and
Isha, which means Lord or God. Jyotish then literally means the lord of Light, with special
reference to the Sun, Moon, Stars and Planets1 . It is a science of the study of heavenly
lights and their effects on human life.
Atma jyoti parama dhama (+Éi¨É VªÉÉäÊiÉ {É®Æú vÉ¨ÉÇ) means that Atma (the soul) or pure
awareness is also the light and that one should seek to attain that light of life with the help
of Jyotish. Jyotish helps to achieve the four main goals of human life; Dharma (religious
merit), Artha (acquiring wealth), Kama (worldly enjoyment) and Moksha (liberation). It
governs not only individual life but also global affairs as well. The study of the influence of
light on every living and non-living thing is the science of Jyotish.
The word astrology has the same roots; ‘Astro’ refers to the stars (the source of
light) and ‘logos’ science. Everything in the universe is moving and changing, and that
which is moving is bound by time. Stars are luminous bodies radiating energy into space.
The rays of light, then, come from the stars and planets, which are surrounded by their
own magnetic and gravitational fields influencing this light. The earth, then, receives this
light.
According to ancient Jyotish shastra (scriptures), Saturn is the most distant plan-
etary body influencing the earth, and the moon is the nearest. The sun is considered the
soul of our solar system. These light energies coming from the sun, moon, planets and
stars all separately influence the physical, environmental, mental and spiritual status of
all beings. This light also effects the dark recess of distant future. Just consider the fact
that the light from many stars began its journey millions of years ago.
The ancient science of Jyotish uses accurate mathematical calculations to deter-
mine the position (past, present and future) of the heavenly bodies in order to foretell the
future of individuals and the fate of nations, empires, kingdoms, wars, revolutions and
other terrestrial events.

Jyotish believes that man is a creation of the cosmos. From the Ayurvedic stand
point, every human being has a unique body type, called Prakruti. Jyotish also believes
that everyone has a unique planetary constitution. This combination governs the entire
psychosomatic make-up of an individual. The unique combination of every individual de-
pends entirely upon the specific time and place of physical birth. So it is very important to
check in the kundali (astrological chart) for personal compatibility before marriage, in
order to bring clarity, communication and success in marital life. People should plan well
in advance for conception, building a house or beginning any auspicious work according
to the most favorable planetary positions.
Just as imbalance of bodily Dosha causes disease, likewise the undesirable effect
of certain planets can become a causative factor in iii-health. According to Ayurveda,
every individual has seven bodily tissues, and according to Jyotish, the different planets
influence them. For instance, the sun influences consciousness and eyes, the moon gov-
erns the mind, mercury the intellect, and Jupiter supervises knowledge. Mars is related to
the blood and lever, Saturn rules the neuro-muscular systems. Venus governs the repro-
duction system and artistic talent.
Jyotish can be studied under several different aspects: astro – physiology, psy-
chology, etiology, pathology, symptomatology and therapeutics. Like any other vedic dis-
cipline, the study of Jyotish needs the guidance and blessing of a guru (one who has
mastered the subject) in order to have the insight to read and interpret the Jyotish char. It
is a wonderful healing science, which can suggest certain stones, gems, crystals and
metals in order to balance the undesirable effects of the planets.
Jyotish also advises fasting on certain days to lessen these negative effects. It can
also recommend a proper mantra, aspect of god to worship, Yagya (fire ceremony) and
certain spiritual rituals in order to neutralize karmic and planetary effects.
In the true sense of the word, the science of Jyotish embraces the whole human
being in order to bring health, happiness and harmony in personal relationships and in
the business world. On the other hand the definition of Jyotish reefers to light in which
identification of stars in the sky is done.

VªÉÉäÊiÉ¹ÉÉÆ ºÉÚªÉÉÇnùÒxÉÉÆ ¤ÉÉävÉEÆò ¶ÉÉºjÉÆ
This science is referred as Nakshatra vidya, from Chandodyojyopanishat2 . Jyotish
explains about planetary movement and their impact on the earth, atmosphere, and indi-
viduals.
This science is firmly established in to the human life with all auspicious and inaus-
picious activities. This science infers the activities of individuals based on the planetary
positions and obtains the results as directed by the experts of Astrology, such as Parashara,
Jaimini, etc.
The human life is divided into four stages, Balya, Koumara, Yavana and Vardhakya.
In the Balya and Koumara it goes in learning and knowing the surroundings where as in
Yavana as human is a being of society undergoes the land marks of life as getting married
and having the children and so on.
To maintain the family man needs the activity of earning, the profession. The pro-
fession is either depends upon the interest of individual or may become compulsory to
work with in the situation. The profession is different from that of art. There are 64 kala
(Arts) have mentioned along with Veda, Vedanga, Upanishat, etc.
The profession and knowledge are of two different entities. Occasionally knowl-

edge of various sciences related to one profession but always the profession exerts the
expertise of one science. The profession, now a day is different from that of ancient days.
Previously it was related to Shadanga such as Sikha, Vyakarana. Present day Macaly’s
education system changed the attitudes of Jyotish to choose and search for the new
combinations and permutations of the each and every aspect of Astrology. In this proce-
dure an elucidation of the prospective and retrospective subjective study is very much
necessary.

Study design
The present study is designed as retrospective study of the observation of handful
of Ayurvedic Physicians. It also has the prospective observation of the textual scriptures
related to the profession of Physician of different cadres of applicability.
In this study 24 established Ayurvedic physicians are covered irrespective of the
sex incidence. All the physicians are categorized in two sections as such post graduates
and graduates. Another section of criteria is working as lecturers or practitioners. These
groups are studied widely under the instructions of the said literatures of Astrology and
rules applied for it. Apart from this the observation is made with 24 horoscopes to estab-
lish the rule to posses the qualification under the rational study.

Literary review
Out of the professions “Vaidya” the physician is having a place of supernumerary.
Thus the Ayurvedic physician profession is selected for the study, which is protecting and
safe guarding the traditional sciences of India and has linkage between Jyotish and Veda
vedangas.
Whenever we look in to any aspect study in Astrology we have to consider Bhava,
Bhavadhipathi and Karaka graha.
¦ÉÉ´ÉÉä ¦ÉÉ´É{ÉÊiÉ¶SÉ EòÉ®úEòJÉMÉ:
This gives us immense idea to accentuate the true positions of planets with re-
spect to the determination of the facts from a horoscope.
Out of the 12 bhava, the 4th, 5th, and 10th bhavas are considered here for the evalu-
ation of the profession. The second bhava even though said in grandhantara as -

Ê´ÉkÉÆ xÉäjÉÆ ¨ÉÖJÉÆ Ê´ÉtÉÆ ´ÉÉCEÖò]ÖõÆ¤ÉÉ¶ÉxÉÉÊxÉSÉ
Vitta, Netra, Mukha, Vidya, Vak, Kutumba and Bhojana1 4 as the factors to be noted for the
2nd bhava, we consider 4th, 5th, and 10th bhavas for the emphasizing the profession with
special reference to Ayurvedic Physician.
5th Bhava enumerates -
ªÉÆjÉÆ ¨ÉÆjÉÆ iÉvÉÉÊ´ÉtÉÆ ¤ÉÖqäù¶SÉè´É |É¤ÉÆvÉEÆò
yantram, mantram, vidya, buddhi and writing the books1 5. The education is always basic
and professional. Here at this juncture 4th bhava is 12th to that of 5th bhava which can be
hindrance factor for the higher education or to that of 5th bhava. That 4th bhava becomes
the Gruha and Aramadikam1 6, where the hospitals or treatment rooms are the influential
factors to that of the Physician Profession. The Doctors by virtue posses the qualification
of the (B.A.M.S.) Ayurvedic physician, he may not be doing the same work as an Ayurvedic
Physician. Thus the evaluation of the 4th bhava is also necessary while evaluating the
profession.

The job or the profession is seen from the 10th house from the natal horoscope. In
further Dadhamsha is one to look for the professional success in any natal horoscope.
10th house not only gives rise the information regarding the profession but also about the
journey or migration to the another place1 7.
Observations on Vaidya from Jyotish Sutras
The physician has given an important place in the vedic literature. In Jyotish litera-
ture like Brihat Parashara hora and Jaimini Sutras the Vaidya are said as two catogories
as Vaidya and visha Vaidya1 8. Mainly Dhatuvadi1 9 and Rasavadi2 0 terms are used for the
Vaidya, where a physician works with metals (alchemy). Rasaaushadhi contains Parada
(Mercury) and Gandhaka (sulfur). The Dhatuvadi uses these materials. Dhatuvadi in other
terms can understand as a person who converts the lower metals to higher metals, such
as copper to Gold.
The necessary qualifications of a superintendent of the royal kitchen
A king should appoint a physician for the royal kitchen (to superintend the prepara-
tions of the royal fare). He should be well paid and possess the following qualifications.
He should come of a respectable family, should be virtuous in conduct, fondly attached to
the person of his sovereign, and always watchful of the health of the king. He should be
greed less, straight-forwards, god-fearing, and grateful of handsome features, and de-
void of irascibility, roughness, vanity, arrogance and laziness. He should be forbearing
self-controlled, cleanly, compassionate, well-behaved, intelligent, capable of bearing fa-
tigue, well meaning devoted, of good address, cleaver, skillful, smart, artless, energetic
and marked with all the necessary qualifications (of a physician) as described before. He
should be fully provided with all kinds of medicine and be highly esteemed by the mem-
bers of his profession1 2.
Jaimini version of Visha Viadya
If Rahu is in karakamsha the person becomes Visha Vaidya. He may become a
physician deals with poisons or may become as physician to look after king with other
yogas present in his horoscope.
Qualities of a physician (Visha Vaidya)
A physician should have the following qualities.
Who is well versed in the science of medicine and
Has attended to the demonstrations of surgery and medicine
And who himself practices the healing art, and is
Clean, courageous, light-handed,
Fully equipped with supplies of medicine, surgical instruments and appliances,
And who is intelligent, well read, and is
A man of ready resources, and one commands a decent practice,
And is further endowed with all moral virtues, is along fit to be called a physician1 3.
Herbalists and Ayurveda
Goatherds, shepherds cowherds and other forest-dwellers know the plants by name
and form. Nobody can comprehend fully about the plants only by knowing (their) names
or forms. He is the real knower of them who, after knowing the name and form has got
knowledge of their administration, let alone the one who knows plants in all aspects. He is
the best physician who knows administration of these (plants) according to place and
time and also keeping in view the individual constitution3 .
Pada Chatustaya (Four Quadrants) in Ayurveda
Physician, drug, attendant and patient, this is the quadruple which, if endowed with
qualities, leads to alleviation of disorders4 .

Abnormality (disorder) is non-equilibrium of Dhatus and their equilibrium is nor-
malcy (health). Health is known, as happiness while disorder is unhappiness. Employ-
ment of all the excellent four – physician etc. – in case of disorder of Dhatus with the
object of (re-establishing) there equilibrium is said as therapeutics5 .
Qualities of a physician
Excellence in theoretical knowledge, extensive practical experience, dexterity and
cleanliness-this is the quadruple of qualities of a physician.
Qualities of drugs
Abundance, effectivity, various pharmaceutical forms and normal composition-these
are the four qualities of drugs.
Qualities of an attendant
Knowledge of attendance, dexterity, loyalty and cleanliness-these are four quali-
ties of an attendant.
Qualities of a patient
Memory, obedience, fearlessness and providing all information about the disorder
-these are the qualities of a patient.
Different planets with their Karakas in Jyotish
Planet gives rise their karakas effects according to their individual strengths, place-
ment and Avasta. In this shadbala or vimshopaka bala is valued and effects are explained.
The individual karakas of Grahas concerned to the topic “A retrospective study of Physi-
cian profession based on Natal Horoscope with special reference to Ayurveda Vaidya”
are as follows.

Importance of Physician
This quadruple consisting of sixteen qualities is the cause of success but here also
the physician is the main because of his having specific knowledge, administrative and
managing positions. As in the act of cooking, utensils, fuel and fire and in victory of the
victorious land, army and weapons are causative factors, similarly, in the success of a
physician in treatment (of disorders) patients etc, are mentioned as causative factors.
Thus the physician is the principal cause out of drug, attendant and patient.
As earth, stick, wheel, thread etc. do not serve the purpose (of making a pitcher)
without the potter, the other three legs (drug, attendant and patient) are in the same
position without the physician.
That extremely severe disorders vanish like the (imaginary) city of Gandharvas
and even simplest disorders aggravate in want of quick management in spite of the three
other legs being existent, confirms that the learned and the ignorant physicians are re-
sponsible for the above two consequences respectively.
It is better to self-immolate than to be treated by an ignorant (physician). As a blind
man moves about with the help of the movement of his hands and as a boat under storm,
the ignorant physician, due to ignorance, proceeds in the therapeutic management with
too much fear (and lack of confidence)6 .
Such one regarding himself as physician cures by chance a diseased person whose
life span is certain but, on the other hand, kills hundreds having uncertain life span.
Hence, a physician devoted to these four-scriptures, understanding, application and prac-
tical experience is known as one who promotes life7 .

The physician who possesses the knowledge of the four aspects-
· cause,
· symptoms,
· cure and
· prevention of diseases,
- is the best one and is fit for a king.
Relative Degree of Physician
Weapon, scripture and water depend on their recipient for consequent merits and
demerits. So, (a physician) should purify his intellect for treatment (of patients). Learning,
rationality, specific knowledge, memory, devotion and action-one that possess these six
qualities, nothing remains unachievable for him.
Learning, wisdom, practical knowledge, experience, accomplishment and popular-
ity-out of these even one quality is sufficient to give significance to the degree of Vaidya.
The one who possesses all the auspicious qualities like learning etc. deserves to hold the
honorable degree of Vaidya who showers happiness on the living beings.
Scriptures are like light for illumination and own intellect is like eye, endowed prop-
erly with both these factors, the physician while treating (a patient) does not commit mis-
takes. Because in treatment, the (other) three legs are dependent on the physician, hence
the physician should make all efforts to enrich his qualities.
Friendliness and compassion towards the diseased, attachment to the remediable
and indifference to those who are moving towards end-this is the fourfold attitude of the
physician8 .
Types of therapy
There are three types of therapy – spiritual, rational and psychological. The spiri-
tual therapy consists of recitation of mantras, wearing roots and gems, auspicious acts,

offerings, gifts, oblations, following religious precepts, atonement, fasting, invoking bless-
ings, falling on (the feet of) the gods, pilgrimage etc. the rational therapy consists of
rational administration of diet and drugs. Psychological therapy is restraint of mind from
the unwholesome objects9 .
Physicians of high descent
The lord (Atreya) said-the physicians of high descent, well-versed in scripture,
having practical knowledge, expert, clean, skillful, self-controlled, well-equipped, having
all the sense organs (normal), knowers of constitution and course of action be regarded
as promoters of vital breath and destroyers of diseases.

The measure of life is known by the adventitious pathological symptoms in relation
to objects, sense organs, mind, intellect, movement etc. such as one will die after a mo-
ment, hour or day; three five, seven, ten or twelve days, a fortnight, month six months or
a year. Swabhava (becoming own self), pravrttyuparama (cessation of activities), Marana
(death) anityata (non-eternality), nirodha (annihilation)-all are synonymous. This is the
measure of life. Contrary to this is non-measure, which is described in the context of
aristas (sudden appearance of fatal signs). In Ayurveda, the measure of life has also
been described according to the body constitution1 1.

Discussion and Conclusion
The Astrology, since the beginning it was claimed as the science with intuitiveness. The

present study deals with the profession, especially with that of the medical profession with

special reference to that of Ayurvedic Physician. In the study it was not studied in the traditional

form but dealt under the shadow of modern scientific statistical methodology to evaluate the

significance of the possibilities to become Ayurvedic physician.

Chiefly for declaring the profession Astrology considers the 10th bhava out of the 12

bhavas. But on the other hand the other bhavas doesn’t have less significance. Out of the

horoscope all bhavas are equally responsible to construct an equilibrated effect in the life of the

person. In such case, some times it looks absurd to study few of the aspects for the study,

where cumulative effect of the horoscope speaks the ultimate result.

Standard textbook claims the profession through 10th bhava and its basis through the 5th

house, which is said as the study, required for the professional success. Apart from the natal

horoscope study the varga study is also required, such as Dashamsha. Many Astrologers give

out the declaration only after careful study of the many aspects such as Rasi, Navamsha,

Dashamsha, Shadvargu, Vimshopaka Bala, Bhavadhipathi, Bhavadhipathi placement, Karaka

graha, Karaka graha placement, their negativism and positivism etc.

Here at the present study at the references of the astrological scripts 4th lord, 5th lord,

and 10th lord are considered along with the karaka graha as sun. The karakatwa of the planet

also elucidated at the present study.

Sun percentage in Natal Chart

The graph -1 explains the sun as the karaka, explains its placement in the natal chart. In

this the study is made to the sun position, whether it is in exhalation or debilitation etc. the

detailed chart is shown in table number - 4. The sun position as positive, neutral and negative

basis when it is studied it gives 49% of the positive percentage (Moola trikona, Exalted, Own

house, Greate friend and friend house). On the other hand the negative percentage is of 25%

(Debilitated, Enemy and great enemy). The neutral percentage is of 26%. The detailed percent-

age chart is as follows.

4th lord percentage in taken samples

In the second graph the 4th lordship is discussed. The fourth lord is dependent upon the

lagna of the natal horoscope. The fourth lord is said as the basic education and it explains the

area of living. It is explained as matru and gruha. It also becomes the 12th placement for that of 5th

house, so it can become the retardate factors (pratibandhaka bhava) to that of 5th house. Thus it

has importance in the study of profession. The data is as follows.

The graph -3 discusses the 5th lord placement in the present study. The 5th lord is said to

be the chief placement in the natal horoscope to discuss the professional study. In this mercury

and Venus has shown relatively more percentage then that of the sun who is said as karaka. But

in the Sastras almost all the planets are considered for the different groups of faculties, which are

embedded, in the medical profession. There by it is difficult to attribute a single planet to that of

the Ayurvedic profession. The study shows the following data.

The graph -4 discusses the 10th lord placement in the present study. The 10th lord is said

to be the chief placement in the natal horoscope to discuss the professional success. In this

Saturn has shown relatively more percentage then that of the sun who is said as karaka. But in

the Sastras almost all the planets are considered for the different groups of faculties, which are

embedded, in the medical profession. There by it is difficult to attribute a single planet to that of

the Ayurvedic profession. The study shows the following data.

Lagna in Natal Horoscopes

Graph -5 shows the lagna interference to that of Ayurvedic Profession. In this different

rashis are considered in the retrospective study of the present study. When Simha and its lord

Surya are considered as the karaka for the Ayurvedic profession, the study reveals that either

as 4th, 5th and 10th lords connections to the natal Lagna, the result is as follows. In this study

major lagnas are mesha as it have simha as 5th lord’s house, Vrishabha as it have Simha as 4th

lord’s house and for the Vrischika as Simha becomes 10th house. Apart from these Makara has

shown remarkable percentage 12.5% even though simha becomes 8th house for it. Further

elucidation has to be made to rule out this confusion.

Graph - 6 shows the Chandra lagna interference to that of Ayurvedic Profession. In this different
rashis are considered in the retrospective study of the present study. When Simha and its lord
Surya are considered as the karaka for the Ayurvedic profession, the study reveals that either
as 4th, 5th and 10th lords connections to the natal chandra Lagna, the result is as follows. In this
study major lagnas are mesha as it have simha as 5th lord’s house, Vrishabha as it have Simha
as 4th lord’s house and for the Vrischika as Simha becomes 10th house. Apart from these Makara
has shown remarkable percentage 12.5% and Kumbha shown 16.7%, even though simha be-
comes 8th house and 7th house respectively for it. Further elucidation has to be made to rule out
this confusion.

The over all appreciation of this study reveals that the decision of profession declaration

can not be fitted in to the modern scientific study. The science is more of intuitive and has many

rules and sub rules to declare the final result, then that of mere mathematical calculations.

But out of the experience in the study it can be said as the interference of Sun and its

Natal sign Leo (Simha) are important to have an idea of joining in to the Ayurvedic Profession.

People those who have the sun implication more are good in the practice of Ayurveda, others are

practicing the modern medicine and could not fix themselves as Ayurvedic practitioners.

In Dashamsha the position is being examined and tabulated as under. In this for many

samples Jupiter became the highest incidence in dashamsha chart, as the lord of 10th and also

aspect to the 10th place. The next planet influenced the study is Saturn with its aspect on 10th

place and with lordship to 2 samples. The data is as follows.

Table showing analysis of 10th lord and occupancy in 10th place in Dashamsa

So, it can be concluded as -

Placements such as 4th, 5th and 10th in the Natal horoscope are necessary for the

declaring the profession.

Karakatwa of the all planets including sun has to consider as a total.

Sun has very specific placement in declaring the Ayurveda Profession

Simah Rashi also has specific Placement in respect to Ayurveda Profession

Study reveals -

The sun is the prime planet with the Jupiter and Saturn influence on it.

The 4th , 5th and 10th lords and occupants study is needed to state the profession

Simha Rashi and Sun influence is there on Ayurveda Profession.

Further elucidation is required to categorize the professions on the basis of modern

scientific and statistical methodology.

Summary

Jyotish then literally means the lord of Light, with special reference to the Sun, Moon,

Stars and Planets. It is a science of the study of heavenly lights and their effects on human life.

The word astrology has the same roots; ‘Astro’ refers to the stars (the source of light) and ‘logos’

science. The earth, then, receives this light.

Jyotish helps to achieve the four main goals of human life; Dharma (religious merit), Artha

(acquiring wealth), Kama (worldly enjoyment) and Moksha (liberation). It governs not only indi-

vidual life but also global affairs as well. The study of the influence of light on every living and

non-living thing is the science of Jyotish.

This science is firmly established in to the human life with all auspicious and inauspicious

activities. The profession and knowledge are of two different entities. Occasionally knowledge of

various sciences related to one profession but always the profession exerts the expertise of one

science.

Study design:

The present study is designed as retrospective study of the observation of handful of

Ayurvedic Physicians. Out of the professions “Vaidya” the physician is having a place of supernu-

merary. Thus the Ayurvedic physician profession is selected for the study, which is protecting and

safe guarding the traditional sciences of India and has linkage between Jyotish and Veda vedangas.

Out of the 12 bhava, the 4th, 5th, and 10th bhavas are considered here for the evaluation of

the profession. Vitta, Netra, Mukha, Vidya, Vak, Kutumba and Bhojana as the factors to be noted

for the 2nd bhava, we consider 4th, 5th, and 10th bhavas for the emphasizing the profession with

special reference to Ayurvedic Physician.

Here at this juncture 4th bhava is 12th to that of 5th bhava which can be hindrance factor for

the higher education or to that of 5th bhava. That 4th bhava becomes the Gruha and Aramadikam,

where the hospitals or treatment rooms are the influential factors to that of the Physician Profes-

sion. The Doctors by virtue posses the qualification of the (B.A.M.S.) Ayurvedic physician, he

may not be doing the same work as an Ayurvedic Physician.

Qualities of a physician

Excellence in theoretical knowledge, extensive practical experience, dexterity and clean-

liness-this is the quadruple of qualities of a physician.

The lord (Atreya) said-the physicians of high descent, well-versed in scripture, having

practical knowledge, expert, clean, skillful, self-controlled, well-equipped, having all the sense

organs (normal), knowers of constitution and course of action be regarded as promoters of vital

breath and destroyers of diseases.

Apart from the natal horoscope study the varga study is also required, such as Dashamsha.

Here at the present study at the references of the astrological scripts 4th lord, 5th lord, and 10th

lord are considered along with the karaka graha as sun.

When Simha and its lord Surya are considered as the karaka for the Ayurvedic profes-

sion, the study reveals that either as 4th, 5th and 10th lords connections to the natal Lagna, the

result is as follows. In this study major lagnas are mesha as it have simha as 5th lord’s house,

Vrishabha as it have Simha as 4th lord’s house and for the Vrischika as Simha becomes 10th

house.

Study reveals -

The 4th, 5th and 10th lords and occupants study is needed to state the profession

Simha Rashi and Sun influence is there on Ayurveda Profession.
