Cancer disease in Astrology

Cancers are primarily an environmental disease with 90–95% of cases attributed to environmental factors. Only 5–10% due to genetics. Environmental factors could be tabacco, diet and obesity, infections, radiation, stress, lack of physical activity.

According to Cancer researcher Robert A. Weinberg, “If we lived long enough, sooner or later we all would get cancer.”

In astrology, generally natural malefic planets promotes dangerous diseases or any kind of illness. Where the most negative planet destroys health are Rahu-Ketu.

Generally, luminaries are very important for good health and immune. Then comes the role of Lagna lord and Vaar/Day lord.

6th lord represents diseases, 8th house shows secret diseases, chronic illness, accidents.

In Cancer, we know that there is uncontrollable growth of cells, they divide and form malignant tumours. In Astrology, 11th house plays the role of expansion and growth, and this could be anything. Also, it is 6th from the 6th house and considered most malefic house/lord of the horoscope. 11th house/lord plays a very important role in growth of tumours, along with that it’s co-ruled by Rahu.

Jupiter is the Jeeva karaka. Affliction to Jupiter is also a major important for the development of such a dangerous disease.

Cancer Zodiac sign is also very important. This is the sign where Ashlesha Nakshatra is present. It is a watery sign and serpents(Ashlesha) finds there home here, nothing but something like poison. Now, Jupiter also finds this sign to be very comfortable, as it gets exalted. So, somehow this sign has to be afflicted and negative.
