In Nadi, health is read from Mars (injury, inflammation, surgery), Saturn (chronic illness, degeneration), and the 8th house zone degrees (death indicators, life-threatening conditions).
Mars in Nadi: Mars at 7° Virgo (in a health-related zone, per nadi tables) might indicate "surgery or injury at age 35 (when Jupiter reaches that degree)." Mars at 22° Cancer (in a danger zone) might indicate "chronic digestive issues or emotional trauma." Nadi degree interpretations are preset.
Saturn in Nadi: Saturn at 2° Capricorn (in weakness zone) might indicate "chronic conditions from childhood, peak struggle age 40-50." Saturn progressions (Saturn touching other planets) forecast health deterioration or recovery phases.
8th house zone (roughly 210-240°, Scorpio-Sagittarius): Planets here are "death-touched." This does not mean the native will die young; rather, the person has deep encounters with mortality, health crises, or life-threatening situations. A person with Mars in the 8th zone might have a life-threatening accident; Venus in the 8th zone might face marital near-breakup or family loss.
Health windows: Correlate Jupiter and Saturn progressions with degree interpretations. When Jupiter reaches Mars's degree, a health event (surgery, injury) is predicted. When Saturn reaches Moon's degree, emotional stress and potential illness follow.
Limitation: Nadi health predictions are generalized ("surgery expected") but not specific ("appendicitis on March 5"). The age window is often 2-3 years, not days. Validation against your actual health events will reveal accuracy.
The health predictor applies nadi degree tables to identify health risk windows in the chart. You will examine your natal Mars and Saturn, predict when health events are likely (via progression), and check your medical history against predictions.
