Houses and Body Parts in Vedic Astrology

Vedic Astrology: Houses and Corresponding Body Parts

In Vedic astrology, each house in a horoscope is associated with different parts of the body. This connection is important as it helps astrologers predict health trends and potential physical problems based on the planets’ positions and influences within these houses.

• First House (Ascendant or Lagna)
  Represents the overall body and appearance, including the head and facial structure.
• Second House
  Connected to the face, neck, throat, teeth, tongue, and right eye.
• Third House
  Governs the shoulders, arms, hands, upper chest, lungs, and the collarbone.
• Fourth House
  Related to the chest, lungs, and heart.
• Fifth House
  Represents the upper abdomen, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spine.
• Sixth House
  Oversees the lower abdomen, intestines, digestive tract, spleen, and kidneys.
• Seventh House
  Deals with the lower abdomen, kidneys, and reproductive organs.
• Eighth House
  Pertains to the external genitalia and eliminative organs.
• Ninth House
  Concerns the hips, thighs, and the sciatic nerve.
• Tenth House
  Related to the knees, joints, and bones.
• Eleventh House
  Governs the shins, calves, ankles, and circulatory system.

Understanding these associations can help in analyzing an individual’s health and vulnerabilities through their birth chart in Vedic astrology.
