Cancer Disease & My Astrology by Nimai Banerjee
Gist of lecture delivered on 28-12-1980 at the International
Astrologers’ Conference, New Delhi).
Worldwide researches are being conducted by eminent scientists
and doctors in order to determine the cause of cancer and to arrive
at the remedy thereof. Astrologers are no less behind in their march
than the scientists and doctors in this regard.
It has been rightly opined that a scientist can predict the happening
in his own field. Likewise the doctor and the lawyer each in their
respective fields. But Astrology encompasses all. It predicts the
future of all walks of life and trades and professions. Not only does it
predict future, it can diagnose the cause and also suggest the remedy
thereof. Hence where other profession or trade fails astrology is
likely to succeed. Scientists and doctors, after labouring hard, have
attributed various causes to this disease differing at the same time
with one another. The medicinal remedy is yet to be found. Only in
some cases some preventive measures have been resorted to and also
ray therapy.
I, as an astrologer, have detected from my research under what
position, a person may suffer from this disease; if so, on what part of
the body and at what period of his life.
I have so far examined nothing less of a thousand cases and my firm
conclusion is that, most of the people born in Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio
and Pisces as ascendants under the malefic influence of Kalasarpa
yoga are susceptible to this disease. There is a relaxation to this
Kalsarpa yoga in that where most of the planets and sandwiched in
between Rahu & Ketu this also occurs. A person having chronic
disease connected with that part of the body where cancerous
growth is possible is a vulnerable case. With this confirmed
experience I have advised patients and their doctors to check up for
cancer and in most cases I have guessed correctly.
I do not propose to tell you that this is the A to Z of this disease.
There are other factors as well, where the best of the luminaries, the
Sun is either in rapt conjunction with or aspected by Rahu or Ketu
or Saturn, this disease can be expected. Apprehensions of the same
disease occur where the ascendant and its lord are under similar
malefic influences. On the top of all these it is my firm conclusion
that where Saturn, Rahu, Mars are conjoined with or aspect one
another strongly inclusive of Navamsa positions and constellational
placements cast a strong aspect on the ascendant or its lord this
disease comes about sure and certain; especially where the lord of
the ascendant is devoid of strength due to being posited in enemy’s
quarter or conjoined with enemy or debilitated.
It must not be construed that this sort of combination will give this
disease right from the birth. It has its own time. In such a case
cancer may manifest in a period of either Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu,
the lagna lord or in the period of that planet which is ruined being
extremely malefic to give disease.
Please permit me to repeat here that all these are my own findings
based on experience and careful research.
I must now switch over to the parts of the human body where
cancerous afflictions may appear. These are also the products of my
experience. In astrological parlance throat comes under the control
of the 2nd house of the birth chart whereas Vrisha (Taurus) is the
2nd house of the natural zodiac.
Affliction to 2nd house in either case gives throat cancer. In the
same way 6th house or Kanya rasi gives it in the stomach, 4th house
or Karkat in lungs, Mars or Vrischik gives it in blood, Venus or
Libra with 6th & 7th bhava gives it in genital organ or cavity. In the
case of a woman Mars and 4th house afflicts right breast while the
same Mars and 10th house afflicts the left breast. Should Mercury
appear as the disease giver one should expect it in his nostrils or
mouth. Jupiter likewise gives in the ears, tongue or liver; Saturn for
hands, gum or mouth cavity, legs and bone structure; Moon in face
and breasts, the Sun in stomach and Mars in blood.
Now I propose to place before you a few case studies.
Chart No.1 – Stomach Cancer:
Birth – 18-9-1932, Asc – Virgo with Sun 1°30, Saturn in 5th 5°20,
Rahu in 6th 23°31, Moon in 8th 7°30, Mars 5°36, Venus 16°50 in
11th, Ketu 23°31, Jupiter 15°20, Mercury 23°5 in 12th. Cancer in
stomach appeared in Rahu dasa & Rahu bhukti. Here all planets
except the Sun and Saturn are in one side of Rahu-Ketu axis. Rahu
is in 6th the house of disease in the constellation of Jupiter who is in
12th conjoined with the ascendant lord. Jupiter, in its turn is
kendradhipa thereby giving Rahu to cause the disease. 6th Rahu
and lagna in Virgo being an earthy sign represents bowels and being
a common sign also indicates the same part of the body. On the top
of this lord of Virgo, Mercury is afflicted by Rahu, the dasa lord also
devoid of strength. Saturn and Mars also aspect each other, hence
both are afflicted.
Chart no.2 – Uterus Cancer:
Date of birth – 1-4-1918. Asc – Leo & Mars in 26°, Moon 12° in 4th,
Rahu 13° in 5th, Venus 3°10 in 7th, Sun 18° in 8th, Mercury 5°40 in
9th, Ketu in 11th, Saturn (R ý) 14°50 in 12th. Cancer started in
Moon dasa and Saturn bhukti. As before, excepting Mars, Saturn,
Moon rest are in one side of the axis. Affliction arises due to
placement of Venus in 7th in Mars constellation and aspected by
Mars. The lord of 7th is retrograde . In the dasa of 12th lord who is
also in the constellation of the 7th lord and, and bhukti of 7th lord,
cancer in uterus appeared.
Chart No.3 – Face Cancer:
Date of birth – 18-9-1923. Ascendant Leo, with Mars 18°38, Rahu
17°46 & Sun 2°, Venus 4°31, Mercury (R ý) 19°4, Saturn 26°52 in
2nd, Jupiter 23°24 in 3rd, Moon 7°20 in 5th, Ketu in 7th. All the
planets are in one side of Rahu-Ketu axis; hence kalsarpa yoga is
fully present . 2nd house denoting face is also afflicted and lord
Mercury devoid of strength as he is retrograde in his house of
exaltation. Saturn in Mars constellation and afflicts 2nd lord. So
during Rahu dasa and Saturn bhukti severe pain in face started and
cancer was detected in Mercury bhukti. Lagna is afflicted by both
Rahu and Mars who are in rapt conjunction.
Chart No.4 – Blood Cancer:
Date of birth – 2-2-1966 at 10.10 a.m. Asc – Pisces, Rahu 8°30,
Jupiter (R ý) 28° in 3rd, Moon 0°50 in 4th, Ketu in 9th, Mercury
16°10, Sun 19°40, Venus (R ý) 8°20 in 11th, Mars 8°52, Saturn 22°8
in 12th. Blood cancer was detected during Rahu & Rahu period. All
the planets except Moon are on one side of Rahu-Ketu axis. Lagna
lord is weak and helpless being retrograde and conjoined with Rahu
in an enemy quarter. Mars the karaka for blood, is also conjoined
with Saturn in 12th and is in the constellation of Rahu; hence
afflicted and weak. Sun is with the 8th lord Venus & Kendradhipa
Mercury. Hence its affliction.
Now Friends, I feel delicate to put before you a thing that I have
chanced upon as a remedy for cancer. I have prescribed gem stones.
The kind of gem stone has been determined thus:
First determine the sub-lord of the ascendant. That is done by
assuming as if the Moon is in the place of lagna, the bhukti-lord
determined from this assumption is the sub-lord. Next find out
whether this sub-lord promises to give any cure; and should it be in
the affirmative, its gemstone properly treated and worn in the
approved nakshatra will give cure. But where the case is otherwise, I
become helpless to suggest a remedy.
“Samput Chandi” has been accepted be the devoted Indians as a
remedial measure on this occasion. It is also my belief and
experience that good results are achieved if the devotional
Samputak Chandi and Puja of the deity presiding over the sub-lord
is performed on the auspicious star day of the sub-lord.
