ABOUT THE BOOK

Medical Astrology: A Rational Approach by J. N. Bhasin is a seminal work that seeks to validate the ancient link between planetary positions and human health through a logical and systematic framework. Moving away from purely fatalistic views, Bhasin applies the rigorous principles of Vedic Astrology (Parashari system) to diagnose physical ailments and psychological predispositions. The book provides detailed insights into how specific planets, houses, and signs correspond to different organs and physiological systems—such as the relationship between Mars and blood disorders or Saturn and chronic ailments. It is highly regarded for its "rational" methodology, offering numerous case studies and horoscopes of known patients to demonstrate how astrological patterns correlate with medical history and surgical interventions.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jagannath Bhasin (J. N. Bhasin) was one of India’s most respected and scholarly astrologers of the 20th century. Known for his deep erudition in Sanskrit and classical texts, he was a prolific writer who authored and translated dozens of books on astrology, including the Hora Shatak and Sapta Rishi Nadi. Bhasin was celebrated for his "scientific" temperament, often stripping away common superstitions to reveal the underlying mathematical and symbolic logic of the Jyotish scriptures. His ability to modernize ancient principles for a contemporary audience made him a foundational figure for modern students of Indian astrology. He is remembered as a master teacher who emphasized that astrology, when practiced correctly, is a precise diagnostic tool rather than a mere means of fortune-telling.
