Leukemia

through the lens of Astrology

Leukemia is one of the most dreaded diseases that human beings are faced with. Leukemia is a type of cancer of the blood or bone marrow that is characterized by an abnormal increase of white blood cells. Leukemia is a broad term covering a spectrum of diseases.

Leukemia is clinically and pathologically subdivided into a variety of large groups. The first division is between its acute and chronic forms:

§                     Acute leukemia is characterized by the rapid increase of immature blood cells. This crowding makes the bone marrow unable to produce healthy blood cells. Immediate treatment is required in acute leukemia due to the rapid progression and accumulation of the malignant cells, which then spill over into the bloodstream and spread to other organs of the body. Acute forms of leukemia are the most common forms of leukemia in children.

§                     Chronic leukemia is characterized by the excessive build up of relatively mature, but still abnormal, white blood cells. Typically taking months or years to progress, the cells are produced at a much higher rate than normal cells, resulting in many abnormal white blood cells in the blood. Whereas acute leukemia must be treated immediately, chronic forms are sometimes monitored for some time before treatment to ensure maximum effectiveness of therapy. Chronic leukemia mostly occurs in older people, but can theoretically occur in any age group.

Michael Douglas

Michael Douglas

and his

Throat Cancer

Michael Douglas is in the news of late for a sad reason. He is suffering from cancer, particularly from throat cancer. He had an illustrious career in Hollywood for the past 40 odd years and has own the Oscar award both as an actor and as a producer. He has also won many more awards for his acting abilities. He is happily married with a beautiful and understanding wife Catherine Zeta-Jones who is also a big star in Hollywood. He has three children one from the first marriage and two from the second.  When people were thinking that he has everything that a man should have, he has stepped into this bad phase of throat cancer. It seems to have resulted from his smoking habit as doctors say that 9 of 10 throat caner patients are either smokers or ex-smokers. People who have quit smoking even 20 years ago also seem to have the risk of getting throat cancer.

Since his birth data is rated ‘AA’ by Rodden, it would be interesting to read his horoscope for the current problem and see how it would turn around in the future.

Bandhana Yoga

for

Gujarat Home Minister

It was in the news recently that Gujarat Home Minister has been taken into custody by the CBI on July 25, 2010. Soon, his birth details were on circulation in the astrology discussion groups on the net. One can never be sure whether these details are accurate or not. But, it would be interesting to see whether such an event could be explained using his horoscope. If such an event could be explained, probably the birth details are accurate.

Long before, an article was published on this site on “Bandhana Yoga” in detail. One could refer to that get the technicalities covering this Yoga. This article attempts to see whether such a yoga exists in the chart of the native based on those principles presented before.
