Astrology studies the cosmic energies of the planets and their influence. Each plant corresponds to certain personality traits. Based on the position of planets on your birth, diseases or injuries can be predicted and Astrology examines this cosmic influence to heal. Hence Astrology and Ayurveda are related and should be understood together to predict the malady that might arise. Correct diet and lifestyles are ascertained to contain these maladies and these two sciences can help us live in harmony with nature.

VAT — Air. Generally, VAT Dosha people are slim and can not concentrate easily. They experience cold, need instant gratification, eat frequently and at odd times.

PITTA — Fire. Pitta Dosha people have well-balanced figures but can experience hot-temper and poor appetite due to a busy lifestyle.

KAPHA — Earth and Water. People of this dosha are often obese, slow, calm, and thoughtful with a good appetite.
