There are moments in time when the stars urge you to speak—not for acclaim, not for curiosity but for a deeper calling. And for a long while, the celestial voices have nudged me to write about the same, particularly the silent thief of memory—Alzheimer’s Disease—and its twin shadow, Dementia. While my writings have often danced with the stars of Entrepreneurship and Business Astrology this time, the universe pointed me in a gentler, more introspective direction. This is not a scientific treatise, nor a prescription. It is a spiritual exploration—a cosmic contemplation—on the soul’s journey through forgetfulness as seen through the sacred lens of Vedic astrology.

Let me say this gently and clearly: these are my intuitive reflections based on my research from the astrological angle, not medical advice. This is not an alternative to medicine, nor a replacement for diagnosis or therapy. It is merely an attempt to understand the higher message behind a disease that dims the light of memory.

The Mystery of Memory Loss: A Cosmic View

Alzheimer’s is a condition that slowly unthreads the drapery of memory, leaving behind frayed edges of thought and fading moments of self. It is a progressive and irreversible disorder, often surfacing in one’s sixties—an age when Saturn, the great teacher often whispers hardest truths into our ears. Across the globe, millions carry this invisible burden, many of whom drift into the fog of dementia.

As I traced the starry script of birth charts, I focused on one aching word: “forgetting.” This is not just a symptom. It is the soul’s silent cry, the dimming of Mercury’s light.

Mercury – The Cosmic Messenger of Memory

In Vedic astrology, the planet Mercury is the harbinger of communication, logic, trade, wit—and yes; memory. Mercury governs the speed of thought and the sparkle of clarity in our minds. When afflicted, Mercury does not speak in riddles—it falls silent, muddled, slow. His message is garbled and the clarity of mind becomes a murky pool.

Mercury’s home lies within three Nakshatras: Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, and Revati.

Ashlesha, the coiled serpent, whispers ancient secrets and hypnotic truths.

Jyeshtha, with Indra’s earring, represents spiritual leadership, but also burden.

Revati, guided by Pushan, promises safe passage—but only when Mercury is in full potential.

When Astrological Planet Mercury is weakened or eclipsed in these lunar mansions, especially under the cold gaze of Saturn, it may manifest as disorders within the nervous system. When Saturn—the planet of karmic delay and degeneration—casts his shadow, the consequences are rarely gentle. He is not cruel, but he is relentless. And when he partners with Mercury in disharmony, the outcome often involves memory, cognition and speech.

Saturn – The Ancient Gatekeeper of Time

Why Saturn? Because he is the planet of time, decay and chronic conditions—those which linger, resist healing and carry a lesson too long delayed. Alzheimer’s is not merely a disease—it is a karmic unfolding, a story of slow release from the mind’s attachments.

When Saturn occupies or afflicts Mercury—particularly within Saturn’s own Nakshatras (Pushya, Anuradha and Uttara Bhadrapada)—we must pause and look deeper.

Pushya, though nourishing, may become overburdened when malefics intrude.

Anuradha, ruled by Mitra, seeks harmony but can suffer under karmic weight.

Uttara Bhadrapada, mystical and otherworldly, often heralds deep spiritual awakenings—but only through trials.

If Mercury or the Moon, our planet of mind and emotions, is afflicted in these constellations, especially with the distortions of Rahu and Ketu, we may find signs of mental deterioration—like an orchestra slowly losing its conductor.

🪐 The Charts Within the Chart – The D30 Whisper 🪐

We often forget the D30 chart, or Trimsamsa, the subtle map of misfortune and inherited karma. But for such diseases of slow spiritual disconnection, the D30 holds secrets—layered within shadows, waiting to be read. Here lie clues not only of the ailment, but of the soul’s deeper contract.

Additionally, in the D1 Chart, observe the lord of the 6th house—the house of illness—and its relationship with Mercury and Saturn. The 8th house, too, which speaks of hidden afflictions and transformations, deserves attention. If these houses or their lords reside in Mercury or Saturn’s nakshatras or are aspected by malefic energies, the story begins to unfold.

🌌 A Final Note from the Heart 🌌

This is only the beginning of my research into the stars’ silent symphony on diseases like Alzheimer’s and Dementia from the astrological point of view. As I go deeper, I hope to share more articles that blend medical astrology with cosmic spirituality.

As one goes deep into detailed analysis, one can observe that Planet Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars have a role to play in depression. So, one need to strengthen these planets so as to reduce the effects of the afflictions. This is from the Medical Astrology point of view.

Please note that this is an article which I am writing out of my own analysis on the aforementioned disease. This should be read as just thoughts from a spiritual plane and is no way concerned with any medical prescriptions or medicines and neither is a substitute for any medical prescriptions followed by any individual. This article should also not be treated as an alternate form of medicine. This are just my thoughts, which can help to understand the disease form the Medical Astrology point of view.

At the end, I just want to say that Stay Happy and Stay Blessed.

This is all from me in this article. Hope you have liked my personal thoughts and opinions.
