Ayurveda + Vedic Astrology: Planetary Rulership of the Human Body (Sapta Dhatu)

Описание: In classical Vedic astrology, the seven visible grahas—Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn—don’t just shape personality. They map directly onto the Sapta Dhatu of Ayurveda: the seven bodily tissues that build the human organism layer by layer. This is why planetary affliction doesn’t stay “psychological.” It becomes physiological, showing up through dosha imbalance (Vata–Pitta–Kapha) and tissue weakness.

The Sapta Dhatu Lens: Planets → Tissues → Dosha Patterns

Think of the chart like a cosmic diagnostic panel: each planet governs a tissue system, and its strength/dignity/aspects decide whether that tissue becomes resilient or vulnerable.

1) Sun (Surya) → Asthi Dhatu (Bones / Skeletal strength)

Sun is your inner backbone—structure, authority, vitality, “uprightness.”

Strong Sun → solid bones, strong posture, endurance, fast recovery.

Afflicted Sun (Saturn/Rahu/Ketu) → osteoporosis tendencies, spinal issues, brittleness, fractures.
Sun is Pitta-dominant: when overheated, joints/bones can inflame; when weakened, regeneration slows.

2) Moon (Chandra) → Rakta/Rasa flow (Blood–plasma–lymph rhythm)

Moon rules the body’s inner waters: circulation, lymph, hormonal tides, emotional fluidity.

Strong Moon → stable mood, healthy blood flow, hormonal balance, good immunity tone.

Weak/afflicted Moon (debilitated Scorpio, malefics) → anemia, water retention, edema, PMS/hormonal swings, anxiety/depression patterns.
Moon is Kapha-nature: nourishing when balanced, congestive when distorted.

3) Mars (Mangala) → Majja Dhatu (Marrow + Nervous vitality)

Mars governs marrow, immunity drive, neural heat, and your reflexive “fight energy.”

Strong Mars → sharp reflexes, strong resistance, quick healing, decisive action.

Debilitated/afflicted Mars (Cancer, Saturn/Rahu hits) → nerve inflammation, fevers, lowered resistance, autoimmune-like heat patterns, injury-proneness.
Mars is Pitta fire—brilliant when contained, destructive when wild.

4) Mercury (Budha) → Rasa Dhatu + Skin/Nerves interface

Mercury is the messenger tissue intelligence: nutrient transport, hydration signaling, skin as a mirror, speech/coordination pathways.

Strong Mercury → clear skin, good absorption, steady nerves, articulate speech.

Afflicted Mercury → eczema/rashes, poor nutrient assimilation, anxiety, overthinking, coordination/speech stress.
Mercury is Vata-leaning, highly sensitive and easily destabilized.

5) Jupiter (Guru) → Meda Dhatu (Fat tissue + metabolic reserve)

Jupiter governs nourishment storage, hormonal reserve, ojas-like stability.

Strong Jupiter → balanced weight, strong immunity buffer, stable metabolism.

Weak/afflicted Jupiter (Capricorn, Rahu/Saturn hits) → obesity, cholesterol, diabetes, fatty liver—or depletion if too weak to sustain reserve.
Jupiter is Kapha-expansive: protects when clean, stagnates when excessive.

6) Venus (Shukra) → Shukra Dhatu (Reproductive tissue + fluids)

Venus rules fertility, reproductive hormones, kidneys/urinary refinement, skin glow.

Strong Venus → libido, fertility, healthy cycles, aesthetic radiance.

Afflicted Venus → infertility, menstrual issues, UTIs, hormonal acne, congestion, relationship-stress somatization.
Venus is Kapha-lubricating: rejuvenating when balanced, sticky when distorted.

7) Saturn (Shani) → Mamsa Dhatu (Muscle endurance + joints/degeneration)

Saturn governs long-term structural stamina: muscles, joints, tendons, chronic wear and tear.

Strong Saturn → resilience, disciplined movement, longevity.

Afflicted Saturn (Aries, harsh aspects) → rigidity, arthritis, muscle fatigue, chronic pain, degenerative dryness.
Saturn is Vata-dominant: stabilizes through discipline, harms through depletion.

Rahu–Ketu: Amplifier vs Reducer

Rahu inflates and distorts tissue functions (excess, obsession, abnormal growth).
Ketu cuts and drains tissue vitality (deficiency, hypo-function, mysterious depletion).

Bottom line: you’re not just reading planets—you’re reading tissue intelligence responding to cosmic pressure.
