Introduction:

Cancer is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and
are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body
through the blood and lymph systems. Cancer is not just one disease but many
diseases. There are more than 100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are named
for the organ or type of cell in which they start – for example, cancer that begins in
the colon is called colon cancer; cancer that begins in melanocytes of the skin is
called melanoma.Cancer types can be grouped into broader categories. The main
categories of cancer include:

 Carcinoma – cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover
internal organs. There are a number of subtypes of carcinoma, including
adenocarcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and
transitional cellcarcinoma.
 Sarcoma – cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or
other connective or supportive tissue.
 Leukemia – cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone
marrow and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced
and enter the blood.
 Lymphoma and myeloma – cancers that begin in the cells of the immune
system.
 Central nervous system cancers – cancers that begin in the tissues of the
brain and spinal cord. Not all tumors are cancerous; tumors can be benign or
malignant.
 Benign tumors aren’t cancerous. They can often be removed, and, in most
cases, they do not come back. Cells in benign tumors do not spread to other
parts of the body.
 Malignant tumors are cancerous. Cells in these tumors can invade nearby
tissues and spread to other parts of the body. The spread of cancer from one
part of the body to another is called metastasis. Some cancers do not form
tumors. For example, leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood.

Cancer is a long term diseases. Thus, it is imperative that the sixth and the eighth
house forma relationship with each other. This is because the sixth house determines
the disease and the eighth house signifies the diseases that last long. On the other
hand, Saturn and Rahu give the indications for the occurrence of diseases that last
long.

The position of both the houses play a significant role in analyzing the cancer. Cancer
is related to Rahu, afflicted Moon, afflicted Jupiter or Saturn and also forms relations
with signs including, Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. The native has a risk
of suffering from cancer when the Moon is afflicted being the lord of the sixth house
or eighth house in its unfavorable dasha.

The risk of suffering from cancer is also high when there are many malefic planets in
one house, especially Saturn, Rahu and Mars. The native suffers from the cancer of
the respective body part that is represented by the afflicted house. Neptune and
Uranus facing each other in a horoscope is considered to be a highly inauspicious
position. This situation can even be fatal for the native. Afflicted dashaanath in the
horoscope can also give serious diseases like cancer.

The dashas that come after the dasha in which the native suffers from Cancer is also
analyzed. If these dashas are auspicious, or of favourable planets, or yogakaraka
planets, then the disease can be diagnosed in the initial stage only and can be easily
treated. Navansh kundli, shahtiyansh kundli and ashtamansha kundli should also be
analyzed before reaching to any conclusion.

Rahu is considered to the karaka of cancer. However, Mars and Saturn can also give
this diseases. Jupiter is considered to be lord of growth and cancer takes place with
the growth of dead cells in the body. The risk of cancer is also high when the the lord
of the eighth or sixth house is afflicted.

Rules for cancer disese:

 Conjunction of Sat with moon or venus.

 Saturn and mars aspect or vice versa
 Malefic lord of 6th in ,6th,8th 10th or 12th.
 Lord of 6th in 6th ,8th 1oth and 12th.
 Jupiters aspect on waning moon .
 Moon and venus aspect on each other.
 Aspect of saturn on moon or venus.
 Venus or moon in Rahu ,ketu axis aspected by saturn ,mars or jupiter.
 I found that venus played a significant role in most charts.
 Maha dasha or antar of Rahu .

Yogas for Cancer Disease

 When Mars, Moon and the lord of the sixth house conjuncts each other in a
horoscope along with Sun, then the person has a risk of getting cancer
disease.
 If Moon and Saturn are in the sixth house of the horoscope, then the person
can get Cancer after the age of 55.
 Conjunction of Jupiter, Saturn and Ketu can become the cause of Cancer.
 Afflicted Mars and relation of Ashlesha Nakshatra with the ascendant and the
sixth house can also result in Cancer.
  According to Dr. B.V Raman , the risk of Cancer is high when the lord of the
sixth house being a malefic is situated in the ascendant, eighth, or tenth house
of the horoscope.
 Saturn in the afflicted state situated in the nakshatra of Rahu can also cause
Cancer.
 When Saturn and Mars conjuncts in the sixth house in Addra or Swati
nakshatra.

In general, Saturn is always linked with all diseases (especially chronic and long term)
and if cancer causing planet is in anyway associated (conjunct, aspect, in
constellation, in sign) with saturn, then cancer will take long time to cure.Also if either
Saturn or cancer causing planet are Retrograde in birth chart, the disease takes
longer time to get cured. Saturn and Rahu influencing second house (by placement
or aspect) are main reason for tobacco chewing and smoking habits.
A person with these aspects should be careful and try to quit tobacco as it can lead
to mouth, throat and lung cancer.

General horoscope structure for diseases:

HOROSCOPE CHART

Is the one in which the order of the houses is fixed. It consists of four central
rhomboidal houses (which are numbered 1, 4,7 and 10, starting from the upper
central rhomboid) and eight triangular houses. The sign rising at the time of birth is
marked in the first house or the upper central rhomboid, and the remaining signs
marked in regular order in an anti-clockwise direction.
CREATING A DATABASE FROM ABOVE HOROSCOPE

Every horoscope contains 9 planets, 12 different signs &12 different houses.

Depending on the placement of all these different angular combinations are formed.
A horoscope can be identified by 11 attributes viz. Ascendant sign & signs of 9
Planets. An 11th attribute may be added to represent whether the person will suffer
from cancer disease or not.

TABLE STRUCTURE
The table structure has 11 attributes. That means sun, moon, mars, mercury, Jupiter,
venus, Saturn, rajku, kethu, ascendant and cancer disease. That is represented as:

The database can be created for many such horoscopes.This database will serve as
the training set in predicting the newer dataset. The training set will contain many
horoscopes (For testing, I used 2000 sample horoscope that definitely suffer from
Cancer Disease & 2000 sample horoscopes that do not suffer

from Cancer Disease) & is given as input to the classifying algorithm in WEKA.

INTERFACING WEKA WITH HOROSCOPE

WEKA (WAIKATO ENVIRONMENT FOR KNOWLEDGE ANALYSIS)

WEKA is a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks. The
algorithms can either be applied directly to a dataset or called from your own Java
code. WEKA contains tools for data pre-processing, classification, regression,
clustering, association rules, and visualization. It is also well suited for developing
new machine learning schemes. A database created above can be given as input to
the WEKA algorithm such as Neural Networks, Lazy, Decision Table etc. & a model
can be built up from this input. This model is then used in predicting the nature of
new horoscope.

CONCLUSION

Predicting cancer disease from horoscope of a person is successfully found using
