A very recent theory has been developed describing the relationship betweenastrology and Homeopathic
medicine. This inter relationship theory is calledlotus theory. It is very simple to understand and easy for
practicalapplication. We must confirm this theory by our own experience. The Homeo physician who know the
fundamentals of astrology can take upthis as a research work.

There are 7 colours, 7 musical notes, 7 planets and 7 days in a week and
7 petals in a lotus flower hence the name of Lotustheory is given. Accordingly there are 7 planetary
constitutions depending uponthe day of birth of the native. Following is the table of planetary constitutions :

Native born on Sunday will have Sun constitution

Native born on Monday will have Moon constitution

Native born on Tuesday will have Mars constitution

Native born on Wednesday will have Mercury constitution

Native born on Thursday will have Jupiter constitution

Native born on Friday will have Venus constitution

Native born on Saturday will have Saturn constitution

Hence the day of births determines the planetary constitution of an individual. Wemust know that a day of 24
hrs is from one Sun rise to the next sun rise and itdoes not start after midnight as we generally consider in
traditionalastrology. In lotus theory a day of 24 hrs starts from the sun rise and endswith the next sun rise.
The planet of the constitution influences the nativeall his life. The natives physical and mental qualities,
sickness and ailmentsare governed by the planets in whose influence one is born.

Next comes the vital hour cycle in the lotus theory. The time of birth determinesthe vital hour cycle which is
also under the influene of any one of the 7planets. The vital hour is fixed and does not change. And it does
notcorrespond exactly to the Hora system followed in astrology. In this theory 24hours of the day is divided
by 7 planets and each planets shares a duration of3 hours 25 minutes. Rahu and Ketu are excluded in this
system.

From midnight to 3.25 A.M. Moon vital hour

From 3.25 A.M. to 6.51 A.M is Mercury vital

From 6.51 A.M. to 10.17 A.M. is Venus vital hour

From 10.17 A.M. to 1.42 P.M. is Sun vital hour

From 1.42 P.M. to 5.08 P.M. is Mars vital hour

From 5.08 P.M. to 8.34 P.M. is Jupiter vital hour

From 8.34 P.M. to midnight is Saturn vital hour

In this way every person is under the influence of two major planets. One planetdetermines the planetary
constitution by the day of birth and the second planetis determined by the time of birth. The second planet is
called the vital hourplanet. Both day of birth and time of birth are essential for astrologicalwork. Similarly in
lotus theory also the day and time of birth indicate theplanets under whose influence a native will lead his life.

7 YEAR LOTUSCYCLES :

The lotus represents 7 years of growth cycle showing the 7 stages of life ruled bydifferent planets. There are
as many as 14 such cycles from birth to 98 years.

Moon Lotus Birth to 7 years

Mercury Lotus 7 to 14 years

Venus Lotus 14 to 21 years

Sun Lotus 21 to 42 years (3 cycles)

Mars Lotus 42 to 49 years

Jupiter Lotus 49 to 56 years

Saturn Lotus 56 to 63 years

Moon Lotus 63 to 70 years

Mercury Lotus 70 to 77 years

Venus Lotus 77 to 84 years

Sun Lotus 84 to 98 years (2 cycles)

The above cyles represents what are calledto be Marma points located in individuals biological and genetic
system.They are critical points indicating change from one stage to another in life.

With reference to theabove Lotus theory a person born in particular week day constitution or similarvital hour
cycle will suffer from the above mentioned diseases but in practice the day of the week and the time of birth
will notcorrespond in most of the cases. The planet responsible forday constitution and the planet responsible
for vital hour cycle or usually twodifferent ones. It means to say that every person is under the influenceof not
just one planet but two planets one is theplanet of day constitution and the other is the planet of vital hour
cycle.Hence diseases pertaining to the above two planets will likely to occur to anyperson depending upon the
affliction of the planet and the age of the native.The Homeo physician should have the basic fundamental
knowledge of astrology toapply and treat the diseases with suitable remedies according to the LotusTheory.

The treatment and selection of remedies according to the lotus theory will be dealt in the nextarticle. Since
this Lotus concept in Homoeopathy based on astrology is totallya new concept, much research is needed to
prove the validity of this concept.
