MEDICAL TOURISM AND HEALTH INSURANCE IN ASTROLOGY

 

In Vedic astrology, the Sixth House is the primary indicator of health, disease, medical expenses, and treatment. As a special extension of Sixth House analysis, we can also study medical tourism and health insurance requirements through planetary connections involving the 6th, 8th, 9th, and 12th houses.

 Health Insurance in Astrology (6th & 8th House Link)

If the lords of the Sixth and Eighth houses are:

• Conjunct,

• Mutually aspecting,

• Or if the 8th lord is placed in the 6th house along with other planets,

then the native is very likely to face significant medical expenses at some point in life.

Such a chart clearly indicates:

✔ the need for a strong health insurance plan
✔ requirement for higher coverage
✔ potential for recurrent hospitalization or chronic issues

The 8th house governs surgery, sudden illness, accidents, chronic disease, and when its lord influences the 6th house, medical costs increase.

Choosing Insurance Riders

The type of insurance riders (critical illness, accidental cover, etc.) should be chosen based on:

• the planets occupying the 6th and 8th houses

• the sign of the 6th house

• affliction to Moon, Lagna and Lagna lord

• D-9 and D-30 confirmation

 Medical Tourism in Astrology

Medical tourism—traveling for treatment—can be judged through connections between:

6th House (disease + treatment)

9th House (long-distance journeys)

12th House (foreign lands, hospitalization, confinement)

When Does Medical Tourism Happen?

You are likely to travel long distances for medical reasons if:

1. 6th Lord ↔ 9th Lord

If the 6th lord and 9th lord are:

• Conjunct,

• Mutually aspecting,

• Or connected through dispositors,

then the native travels to far places within the country for medical care.

---

2. 6th Lord ↔ 9th Lord ↔ 12th Lord

If the 12th lord also aspects or joins the above combination, then:

----the person travels abroad for treatment
---- this may be due to specialized care, second opinion, or advanced medical procedures

---

3. 9th & 12th Lords Connected to 6th House

If 9th and 12th lord are conjunct or aspect each other while influencing planets in the 6th house, this also indicates:

• hospitalization in foreign land

• long-distance travel for surgery or chronic disease management

• treatment in ashrams, retreats, or spiritual healing centers
