VRISCHIKAM / SCORPIO (MEDICAL)

SCORPIO (Visakham 4, Anuradha/Anizham, Jyeshta/Ketta)

The aggressive, watery sign of Scorpio might be one of the least understood signs of the entire twelve.  Scorpio produces a number of types.  Usually the Scorpio person is of a secretive, timid, retiring nature, one who does not talk of his affairs.  However, there is another type of Scorpio persons who are ready to argue and hold us for his points, and at times, he can become very cruel.  He usually has an explosive temper, which may, undermine the health if the sign has afflictions in the Horoscope.  The Scorpio people, nevertheless, suffer from diseases associated with reproductive organs and the ducts through which the excretions of the body pass, such as the urethra (the small canal through which the urine passes from the bladder outward) and the colon, including the anus.  The bladder, the sigmoid flexure, prostate gland, pubic bone, the red coloring matter of the blood, and the nasal bones are also ruled by Scorpio. 

Scorpio people make good healers, surgeons, doctors, and nurses.  But there is often a cruel and tyrannical streak in the Scorpio.  They are also prone to diseases (consider affliction) syphilis, hernia, scurvy, fistula, constipation, piles, inflammation and falling of the womb, uterine troubles, stricture of the prostrate gland, and nasal catarrh.
