RECOVERY OF A PATIENT

56. The patient's death is certain when the ascendant is occupied by the lord of the  6th and the Moon is aspected by malefics.
57. The Moon in the 4th or 8th house hemmed in between malefics denotes  death of the patient. The patient will recover early if the Moon is strongly placed and aspected by benefics.
58. The sick person will depart to the abode of Yama if the Moon is in the ascendant and the Sun is in the 7th. The disease or illness will become complicated by the physician's treatment when malefics are in the ascendant.
59. If benefics are in the ascendant, the diagnosis will be correct. The Lagna signifies the physician, the 7th represents the nature of the disease or sickness, the 10th rules the sick person and the 4th denotes treatment.
60. If there is friendship between the lords of the 1st and 10th houses, the treatment being appropriate to the disease, the illness will be cured. Otherwise the disease aggravates.
61. The sick man is sure to survive, if the ascendant lord being a benefic is strongly disposed in a quadrant, is exalted or occupies Moolatrikona.
62. A single planet, which should be powerful and a benefic occupying the Lagna, protects the sick man. If benefics are in the 9th, 6th, 11th and 3rd, then also, the illness will be cured.
