Hearing and Speech problems in children: An Astrological analysis Ms. Urmil Bhargava

I have a friend Darshan Kaur, whose niece suffers from impaired hearing and speech. Unfortunately, her niece (now 15) has congenital stone-deafness and speech-loss, and Darshan has gained much experience in speech therapy over the years. For last one year, Darshan is experimenting "LIP READING" with her niece and was very successful. Encouraged by her efforts, she started coaching and helping other children to improve their speech. More and more parents have started sending their handicapped children to her, and a great improvement was noticed in them. I was asked to study their birth-charts as case-studies. So, here is a brief account of it. 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 Tatva, governed by Jupiter, is responsible for manifesting the Sound, which the ears can hear. The 2nd house and sign Taur us us (the 2nd house house of of natural natural zodiac) zodiac) is is connected with organs of speech (Larynx and Vocal Cords etc). Affliction to 3rd house and 3rd lord lord and sign Gemini can cause affliction to hearing. The 2nd house governs throat region and "Speech." Affliction to 2nd house and 2nd lord can cause impaired speech. Third house of the natural zodiac and its lord, that is, Sign Gemini and Mercury should also be considered. 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. CASE -1

The sign Virgo was rising at the time of birth, which is governed by Mercury. Mercury is placed in 10th house in sign Gemini conjoined with 3rd lord Mars, 11th lord Moon (11th house and the lord also can be considered for hearing), and 12th lord Sun, indicating damaged hearing. The 3rd lord Mars is in Mrityu-bhaga, and occupies the nakshatra of malefic Rahu. Affliction to Mercury and sign Gemini shows obstruction in auditory nerve causing Nerve Deafness. Since, in Birth-chart, both the luminaries are afflicted, it seems to be a congenital problem. The 2nd house of speech and 3rd house of hearing is governed by Venus and Mars respectively. The 2nd lord Venus, placed on the axis of Rahu / Ketu in the 8th house, is aspected by disease inflicting 6th lord Saturn, showing defective and indistinctive speech. Mars, the lord of 3rd house, also governs the 8th house, and is placed with 12th lord showing obstruction in hearing and communication.
