Planets for Deaf and Dumb

Ears are very important sense organs of our body, associated with the sense of hearing. In a Nativity, the 3rd house and sign Gemini (3rd house of natural zodiac) are connected with hearing; and Aakash Tattva, governed by Jupiter, is responsible for manifesting the Sound, which the ears can hear. The 2nd house and sign Taurus (the 2nd house of natural zodiac) is connected with organs of speech (Larynx and Vocal Cords etc). The planet Mercury is karaka of expression and communication. Any affliction to the planets Jupiter and Mercury, 2nd and 3rd house of the nativity and Gemini and Taurus at the time of cause the problem of hearing and speech. Mercury governs the nervous system and nerves. Damage to speech and hearing is due to sensory loss or afflicted nerves responsible for these functions. And finally, Lagna and Lagna-lord should be associated with these afflictions.

If Mercury is conjuncted or aspected or square or opposition with Saturn or eclipsed creates deformity with speech such as stammering, because Mercury is 6th lord of natural zodiac. If Mercury is afflicted as above by Mars or Saturn in watery sign, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, also known as Mute sign, the native will suffer from impediments in speech. Mercury in 6th along with lord of the lagna and conjuncted or afflicted by Sun or Mars or Saturn it causes impediments in Speech.

If Saturn is posited in any Chatushpada sign, Aries, Taurus, Leo, first half of Capricorn and 2nd half of Sagittarius, or watery sign, it causes impediments in speech and hearing.

Airy sign, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, if afflicted cause impediments in hearing.

We should not forget that 6th house is the house of diseases and 8th and 12th houses are included in trik houses. The planets posited in these houses and the position of the lord of the these houses in any house or association or aspect of the lord of these houses with the lord of other houses destroy the signification of that house whose lord is associated or aspected. More over dasha and bhukti should also be of related planets.

If the afflicted planets are under the influence of benefic planet, there will be some protection to the native. The eclipse during the birth of child may cause impediment of speech if Mercury is afflicted. The retrograde planet, even retrograde Jupiter in lagna, does not give protection.
