TL;DR
Have you ever wondered why no matter how many expensive serums or shampoos you buy, your hair keeps falling out and your skin keeps breaking out? You might be looking in the wrong place. Instead of checking the back of the bottle, it might be time to check your birth chart.
Astrology is about more than just your personality or who you should date. Medical astrology is an ancient practice that links different parts of the body to specific planets. When it comes to your skin and hair, the main planets you need to look at are the Sun and Venus. If these planets are struggling in your chart, your body is going to show it.
Let's break down exactly how this works and what you can do about it. If you're tired of guessing, you can always check out our [Free Kundli](/free-kundli) calculator to see where the Sun and Venus are sitting in your chart.
The Sun and Your Skin
In astrology, the Sun represents your vitality, your core energy, and the physical body as a whole. But when we get specific, the Sun is in charge of your skin, bones, and your overall glow. Think about what the actual Sun does in the sky—it gives light and life. A strong Sun in a birth chart gives a person that natural "lit from within" look.
But what happens when the Sun is afflicted? An "affliction" means the Sun is sitting in a bad spot, like the 6th, 8th, or 12th house, or it's being bullied by tough planets like Saturn or Rahu.
When this happens, your skin takes the hit. You might deal with:
If Saturn is messing with your Sun, your skin might look dry, tired, and older than you actually are. Saturn slows things down and dries things out. If Mars is the problem, you are looking at heat. That means red, angry acne, inflammation, and boils.
