This is a chart of an older man who will be having a surgery
next month on his prostate. It's not a life threatening situation
but a surgery none the less. He's running his Jupiter-Venus-Mars
dasha. At first glance it may be difficult to see why this dasha
would bring any health concerns. Jupiter and Venus are both
benefic planets. Jupiter is also a temporal benefic as the 5th
lord and aspects the ascendant. It's in an angular position
and benefics on angles protect health, especially if they also
aspect the ascendant or the ascendant lord. In addition, Jupiter
is in a gajakesari yoga with Moon which strengthens it further.
Venus and Mars, the sub period lords, are both aspected by Jupiter
and don't rule houses pertaining to health concerns. Like I
said, it's not immediately obvious why this would be a time
period for any health concerns.
Jupiter, however, is in the 7th house, a maraka house, which
can represent health challenges. It's also the 8th lord which
can represent chronic illness or obstacles in general. These
points offer some clues especially because this man is almost
seventy. The older we get the more signficant is the 8th lord
and maraka lords or planets in maraka houses (2 and 7) for health
challenges. Since the Moon is on the ascendant, Jupiter also
is the 8th lord from the Moon. Venus and Mars are both in the
11th house, which is a secondary house for health problems or
disease because it is the 6th house from the 6th house of disease.
These clues from the ascendant and the Moon lagna's give some
initial suggestions of possible health challenges, but looking
at this chart from Surya lagna or the Sun ascendant makes it
more obvious. The Sun is the karaka or significator for health
in general and the 1st house, the primary house for health.
Therefore, to analyze the chart from Surya lagna when analyzing
health makes good logical sense. In this case, Jupiter again
becomes the 8th lord but instead of being a temporal benefic
it becomes a temporal malefic as the 8th and 11th lord from
Taurus. Venus and Mars are both placed in the 2nd house, a maraka
house. Venus becomes the 1st and 6th lords, which are the two
primary houses of health, and is aspected by the 8th lord and
the 12th lord Mars. This means that Jupiter, Venus, and Mars
become the dusthana lords from Surya lagna as the 8th, 6th,
and 12th lords respectively. Mars also becomes the 7th lord
conjunct Venus, and Mercury, the 2nd lord, exchanges signs with
Venus, making Venus associated with both maraka lords.

The clincher for health challenges during this time can be seen
through the transits. Saturn has been transiting through his
ascendant Leo since mid July and aspecting both the dasha lord
Jupiter, and the ascendant lord Sun. In addition, Mars, the
karaka of the 6th house, has been making a long 7 month transit
through Gemini between mid September 2007 until the end of April
2008, where it aspects both the sub period lord Venus and the
sub sub period lord Mars. Lastly, the nodes of the Moon, Rahu
and Ketu are transiting over his 1/7 house axis aspecting his
ascendant and mahadasha lord Jupiter.
