The deck, read on the body.

Every house rules a part of the body and every planet has its own weaknesses. Twelve of each — the element decides how hard an answer lands, never which organ it lands on.

Not a diagnosis. This page sets out the traditional correspondences the deck is read with. It is not medical advice, it cannot identify an illness, and it is no substitute for seeing a doctor. If something is wrong, get it looked at.

A health question is decided on four houses, read in order. Everything else in the spread modifies what these four say.

Section I

The body, house by house.

From the head at House 1 to the feet at House 12, the twelve houses cover the body from top to bottom in order. Tap any card for its full profile.

Section II

The body, planet by planet.

The house names the part. The planet on the row decides what is happening to it — Mars inflames, Saturn hardens and delays, Rahu hides. Tap any planet for its full profile.

Reading the two together. A complaint is the house and the planet in combination, never one alone. House 10 under Saturn is the knees giving out after years of standing; House 10 under Mars is the same knee, broken in one afternoon.
