Hillaja Netradosha Yoga in Astrology – Part 1: Powerful Formations and Types of Eye Disorders
April 10, 2025 Table of Contents
1. Introduction
Hillaja Netradosha Yoga is a planetary combination in Vedic astrology that causes eye-related disorders such as weak vision, blindness, squint eyes, or chronic eye diseases. The term Netradosha means “defect of the eyes”, while Hillaja refers to a disorder that arises due to planetary afflictions.
This yoga is mentioned in Sambu Hora Prakasha (14/66-68) and is formed due to:
- Afflictions to the 6th house or its lord (which governs diseases).
- Weak or afflicted Sun and Moon (which control vision and light perception).
- Placement of malefics in Kendra houses (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th) and Dusthana houses (6th, 8th, 12th).
- Saturn, Mars, Rahu, and Ketu’s influence causing damage to eyesight.
Key Features of Hillaja Netradosha Yoga

✔ Causes problems due to karma, genetics, or health issues.

2. Formation of Hillaja Netradosha Yoga
Hillaja Netradosha Yoga is formed under multiple planetary conditions. Below are the major astrological causes that indicate eye diseases or blindness.
A. First Formation: The 6th Lord in the Sign of a Retrograde Planet (Eye Diseases)
📖 Source: Sambu Hora Prakasha (14/66)
- The 6th house governs diseases, including eye problems.
- If the 6th lord is placed in a sign ruled by a retrograde planet, the native may suffer from long-term vision issues, fluctuating eyesight, or temporary blindness.
Example 1: Weak Vision Due to Unstable Planetary Energy
- Lagna: Capricorn
- 6th lord Mercury in Aries (ruled by a retrograde Mars).
🔹 Effect:
- Weak eyesight, needing glasses early in life.
- Frequent headaches due to eye strain.
- Fluctuating vision problems, sometimes improving and sometimes worsening.
B. Second Formation: The 6th Lord in Lagna Aspected by Saturn (Chronic Eye Diseases & Phlegm Issues)
📖 Source: Sambu Hora Prakasha (14/66)
- The 6th lord in Lagna brings diseases to the physical body.
- Saturn’s aspect slows healing and causes chronic vision issues.
Example 2: Cataracts or Glaucoma Due to Saturn’s Slow Disease Process
- Lagna: Libra
- 6th lord Jupiter in the 1st house (Libra), aspected by Saturn from the 7th house.
🔹 Effect:
- Chronic eye conditions that worsen with age.
- Cataracts or glaucoma may develop.
- Vision cloudiness due to excess phlegm (Kapha imbalance).
C. Third Formation: Moon With Jupiter, Venus, Mars, or Mercury in Lagna (Heat or Injury-Related Eye Disorders)
📖 Source: Sambu Hora Prakasha (14/66)
- Moon represents fluids, emotions, and the nervous system.
- When conjunct with certain planets in Lagna, the native develops eye issues due to heat, injury, stress, or overindulgence.
Example 3: Eye Problems Due to Overexertion, Grief, or Sexual Indulgence
- Lagna: Sagittarius
- Moon and Mars in Lagna (Sagittarius, aspected by Rahu from the 7th house).
🔹 Effect:
- Bloodshot eyes due to excessive heat.
- Eye strain from emotional distress or trauma.
- Vision problems caused by overuse of the eyes (excessive screen time, reading in dim light).
D. Fourth Formation: The Sun and Moon Conjoined in the 6th or 12th House (Squint Eyes or Vision Defects)
📖 Source: Sambu Hora Prakasha (14/68)
- The Sun and Moon represent the primary light sources in astrology and control vision.
- When placed together in the 6th or 12th house, the person may have vision defects, including squint eyes or blurred vision.
Example 4 : Squint Eyes Due to Sun-Moon Conjunction
- Lagna: Virgo
- Sun and Moon conjoined in the 6th house (Aquarius, with no benefic aspect).
🔹 Effect:
- Congenital squint eyes (crossed eyes or lazy eye).
- Difficulty in focusing or aligning vision.
- Possible vision misalignment due to nerve problems.
E. Fifth Formation: Mars in a Malefic Sign or Kendra, Aspected by Another Malefic (Blindness Due to Injury or Disease)
📖 Source: Sambu Hora Prakasha (14/67)
- Mars represents fire, aggression, and injuries.
- If placed in a malefic sign (Aries, Scorpio, Capricorn) or in a Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th house) and aspected by another malefic (Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu), the person may suffer blindness or eye damage due to an accident or disease.
Example 5: Blindness Due to Trauma or Accidents
- Lagna: Scorpio
- Mars in the 10th house (Leo), aspected by Rahu in the 4th house.
🔹 Effect:
- High risk of eye injuries due to accidents, burns, or sharp objects.
- Possible blindness in one or both eyes.
- Surgeries may be required to correct vision problems.
