Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Does rashi predict specific diseases?
Each rashi governs specific body parts in Jyotish (Mesha = head, Vrishabha = throat, etc.). Affliction to the rashi lord or planets in the rashi can indicate vulnerability in that body area. But prediction requires full chart analysis, not rashi alone.
Q.Which rashi lives the longest?
Longevity depends on the 8th house lord, Saturn placement, and overall chart strength rather than rashi alone. However, Saturn-ruled rashis (Makara, Kumbha) statistically correlate with longer life spans in classical texts due to Saturn being the karaka for longevity.
