Astrology and Diabetes

Introduction

It is possible to identify the diseases a person is having, or susceptible to in the future, using Astrology. Once a person knows that he is susceptible to certain kinds of diseases, he/she could take precautions and preventive measures so as to either prevent the disease from manifesting or to reduce the intensity of a disease if it becomes inevitable. This is an example to show how Astrology can help the human kind to anticipate a problem and take preventive measures to reduce the pain and agony in the future.

Diabetes, though known as “rich man’s disease” in the past, is fast becoming a common man’s disease in our country. This could be due to changing lifestyles irrespective of whether one is rich or poor. Diabetes makes it difficult for people to live their life normally. It is a gateway to many other health complications if not properly contained. Hence, it is in our own interest to be aware if one is susceptible to this disease or not, and what to do to prevent or contain it at a manageable level. The purpose of this paper is to help people to understand what diabetes is in brief and to help them identify astrological symptoms of diabetes in their charts.

ASTROLOGICAL INHERITANCE

1.0 Introduction

Most of us know about bilogical inheritance. In biology, 'Inheritance' is defined as "The process of genetic transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring". It has been scientifically proven that biological inheritance takes place through DNA. DNA is often referred to as the molecule of heredity as it is responsible for the genetic propagation of most inherited traits. In humans, these traits can range from hair colour to disease susceptibility. During cell division, DNA is replicated and can be transmitted to offspring during reproduction. Lineage studies can be done based on the fact that the mitochondrial DNA only comes from mother, and the Y chromosomes only comes from the father[1].

It is well known that everyone inherits some characteristics from their father and some characteristics from their mother. In astrology, we predict ones characteristics and character by means of the planetary positions in their chart. If a person has inherited his/her characteristics from his/her parents biologically, it is logical to say that he/she inherits the planetary positions also from the parents. There exists a relation between parent’s DNA and offspring’s DNA. Is there a similar relation between parent’s natal chart and offspring’s natal chart? This paper tries to address this question.
