Arshadosha Yoga in Astrology – Causes, Effects, and 3 Powerful Remedies
April 10, 2025 Table of Contents
1. Introduction
Arshadosha Yoga is a planetary combination in Vedic astrology that indicates a tendency to develop hemorrhoids (piles), digestive disorders, and issues related to the rectal and anal region.
The term Arsha comes from Sanskrit, meaning hemorrhoids (piles), a condition caused by poor digestion, excessive heat in the body, and vascular swelling in the anal region.
This yoga is mentioned in Sambu Hora Prakasha and is formed under the following conditions:
✔ The 8th house lord, if malefic, is in the 7th house without a benefic aspect.
✔ Birth occurs during the daytime, Saturn is in the 7th house (Scorpio), and Mars is in the 9th house.
✔ Saturn and Mars are in the 12th house along with the Lagna lord.
✔ Mars is in the 4th house in Scorpio, without an aspect from Jupiter.
✔ Saturn is in Lagna, and Mars is in the 7th house.
Since Saturn and Mars represent dryness, heat, and obstruction, their unfavorable placements can lead to:
- Chronic constipation and rectal swelling.
- Varicose veins in the anal region (hemorrhoids).
- Digestive imbalances, acidity, and excessive heat in the lower abdomen.
People with Arshadosha Yoga are often advised to take extra care of their digestion, hydration, and lifestyle to prevent or manage hemorrhoids effectively.
2. Formation of Arshadosha Yoga – Causes of Hemorrhoids
Arshadosha Yoga is formed when:
✔ The 8th house lord, a malefic, is in the 7th house without benefic support.
✔ Specific Saturn-Mars placements disrupt digestion and blood circulation in the lower abdomen.
✔ No benefic aspects from Jupiter or Venus to counterbalance these effects.
These combinations indicate a higher likelihood of digestive problems, chronic constipation, and swollen veins in the rectal region, leading to hemorrhoids.
