Deafness in Astrology: Planetary Combinations & Traditional Remedies
Explore the traditional Vedic Medical Astrology approach to hearing-related difficulties through planetary influences, relevant houses, classical combinations and traditional astrological remedies.
Deafness and Hearing Difficulties in Medical Astrology: Traditional Medical Astrology examines the horoscope for planetary and house combinations that are believed to have a symbolic connection with the ears, hearing, communication and sensory functions.
In the traditional framework presented by Astroshastra, particular attention is given to the 2nd, 3rd and 11th houses, together with planets such as Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Mars, Venus, Rahu and Ketu.
The 3rd and 11th houses are especially discussed in the traditional source material in relation to the ears. Planetary affliction, weakness of house lords and combinations involving malefic planets are traditionally examined as part of a complete horoscope assessment.
Mercury is considered significant because of its traditional association with communication and the nervous system, while the Moon is examined in relation to bodily fluids and emotional sensitivity. Saturn, Mars and the lunar nodes may also become important depending upon their relationship with the relevant houses and planets.
Planets Traditionally Considered in Hearing-Related Astrology
Mercury
Mercury is traditionally associated with communication, sensory processing and the nervous system. Its condition is therefore examined in traditional astrological interpretations involving hearing and communication.
Moon
The Moon is traditionally associated with fluids and sensitivity. The original page considers a weak or afflicted Moon among the factors examined in hearing-related combinations.
Saturn
Saturn occurs repeatedly in the original combinations and is traditionally considered in relation to chronic or long-standing conditions when connected with relevant houses and planets.
Mars
Mars is involved in several of the original combinations, particularly through its placement or aspect on the 2nd, 3rd and 11th houses.
Venus
Venus appears in several traditional combinations involving the 2nd, 3rd and 12th houses and is considered according to its strength and affliction.
Rahu & Ketu
The lunar nodes occur in several of the traditional combinations, especially where they influence the 3rd or 11th house or combine with planets connected to sensory functions.
Houses Traditionally Examined for Hearing
2nd House
The 2nd house appears in several of the original combinations and is traditionally considered in relation to the face, mouth, speech and sensory functions.

The 3rd house is given particular importance in the original page and is traditionally associated with the right ear and communication-related symbolism.
