Do Planets Influence our Health In the science of astrology, the Sun and Mars determine the pitta nature. The Moon is considered a cool planet; hence its connection with kapha, and to some extent with vata. Mercury affects all the three; Jupiter has a bearing on kapha, Venus on vata and pitta, and Saturn on vata. Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and the Moon, in general are considered benign planets while the Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Mars and Sun baleful. It is this latter category that is regarded as disease causing. In specific and adverse configurations, all planets cast baleful effects; the negative effect of already unfriendly planets becoming even more accentuated in this situation.

The various positions of the planets are called dasha (phases) depending on time and configuration, and are categorized into vimshottari and yogini phases. The total duration of vimshottari phases is 120 years and that of yogini 36 years. 

The positional duration of the Sun is 6 years, Moon 10 years, Mars 7, Rahu 18, Ketu 7, Saturn 19, Jupiter 16, Mercury 17 and Venus 20 years (total 120 years) in the vimshottari phase. Within vimshottari there are further subdivisions called mahadasha, antardasha and pratyantardasha. In the yogini phase, the Moon phase is of 1 year, that of Sun 2 years, Jupiter 3 years, Mars 4 years, Mercury 5 years, Saturn 6 years, Venus 7 years, and Rahu and Ketu each 8 years making a total of 36 years. All the nine planets have their own specific zodiac signs attached to them: the Sun  Leo, the Moon  Cancer; Mars  Aries and Scorpio; Mercury  Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter  Sagittarius and Pisces; Venus  Taurus and Libra; Saturn  Capricorn and Aquarius. 
The planets are the controlling lords of their respective zodiac signs.

These signs are considered located in the various organs of our body: Aries in the head; Taurus in the face; Gemini in the shoulders, neck and the upper part of the chest; Cancer in the heart; Leo in the stomach; Virgo in the waist and intestines; Libra below the stomach; Scorpio in the genitals; Sagittarius in the thighs; Capricorn in the knees; Aquarius in the legs; and Pisces in the feet. A person with these signs in his body is called Kaalpurusha.
