Astrology & Your Dosha type

[dr. farr]

The Chinese 5 element model is also an excellent one with practical utility: use whatever model works most effectively for you!

I was curious, so I looked at your chart sidereally (as the Indians would), which gives Libra rising (Vata) and puts your Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars in Vata signs (Capricorn, Aquarius, Libra)

[Caro]

thanks for that. have had my vedic chart done.

it was more that I am not a VATA archetype alone. I do have a lot of kapha characteristics (looks wise)- this survey in this thread did not go into the detail.

I am sure there is a lot more to this system and the survey attached is a starting point.

Chinese medicine seems to be a more suitable fit.

[Moog]

The Kapha comes from the remaining planets in Pisces and Cancer, both Kapha signs. Jupiter (Kapha) is exalted and angular in your chart, which perhaps gives more oomph in the kapha department?

You would seem to have a lack of Pitta.

[Caro]

that is interesting as I have food allergies which result in body rashes.

I generally see the vedic as how I may see myself. so it gives me something to think about.
thanks for checking it out.

[Cascada]

I got:

33 Vata
7 Pitta
14 Katha

I guess I'm lacking a lot, and have an excess of Vata?

[serafin5]

Wow, really cool thread! Here are my results:

12 - Vata

21 - Pitta

9 - Kapha

Not sure what this means but thanks

[Cypocryphy]

Vatta: 17

Pitta: 16

Kapha: 18

[gen6k]

vatta: 18
pitta: 19
kapha: 19

i feel mostly vatta and kapha, but i have mars on my ascendant so that might be why i seem pitta.

well sometimes on these types of psychcology tests i feel like i put down my ideal and several experiences, but its hard to latch on to the general overview of it instead of looking at particular moments and magnifying certain events out of proportion while ignoring others.

i would say that this past year so far has been vatta mostly, but depending on these scores it seems like i am trying to ignore that.

also the modality of how one functions gets triggered during specific reactions to events, but it is hard to make a function of the order of those events.

on the other hand, it can point to someone that reacts to situations as is needed instead of a personology.

other than that my chart is kind of balanced except total lack of fire.

i like heat producing supplements like ashwaganda, coffee, piracetam, etc. green tea was my favorite, its a thermogenic, but i cant drink that anymore cause got poisoned. i dont like exemplyfing marsian things though like creatine or anabolic type things.

[Zonark]

Vata: 17
Pitta: 32
Kapha: 25

I've always been a predominantly Pitta type, but I used to have more Vata than Kapha, especially when I was vegan. Now that I eat meat occasionally I notice the Vata qualities declining and the Kapha increasing.

Am a Leo sun with Cancer moon and Capricorn ascendant. My chart is predominantly Earth too, with Merc in Virgo Mars in Taurus and a Capricorn stellium of outers.

Oh I also have no planets in air signs. None whatsoever.

[Rebel Uranian]

Vata: 15
Pitta: 4
Kapha: 20

Vata and Kapha tend to swing around a lot, but Vata usually comes out slightly higher, which I think is accurate. This test is an exception for those two scores, so it's probably not that reliable. I also ignored the relationship questions (except for "Friendships", where I got Pitta ) because none of them were accurate answers. (What does that last statement say about me... oops.)

[tautomer]

Vata: 24
Pitta: 10
Kapha: 21

so apparently I am Vata, which states thusly: If I made it grey, it does NOT fit me.

This is your mind-body type

Classic Symptoms of Vata Types
Dry or rough skin
Insomnia
Constipation
Fatigue
Headaches
Intolerance of cold
Underweight or losing weight
Anxiety, worry and restlessness
Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder


Classic Symptoms of Pitta Types
Rashes
Inflammatory skin conditions (including acne)
Stomach aches
Diarrhea
Controlling and manipulative behavior
Visual problems or burning in the eyes
Excessive body heat
Hostility, irritability
Excessive competitive drive


Classic Symptoms of Kapha Types
Oily skin
Slow digestion
Sinus congestion
Nasal allergies
Asthma
Obesity
Skin growths
Possessiveness, neediness
Apathy
Depression
Difficulty paying attention


So really, I don't put much stock into this at all. I'm evenly split between all three, regardless of the test.

I would consider this pretty well balanced, perhaps a little Vata/Pitta additional support might be needed, and to be a bit careful regarding Kapha (not over-indulging in Kapha-element materials/foods, etc)

Thankyou dr farr!
What would you suggest?
I'm sleeping terrible at the moment,does this have an effect from vata/pitta.
Even when my back plays up I usually sleep well.
I must be out of balance somewhere?

[dr. farr]

Current sleep problems might have more to do with a progression and/or transit influence, than basic natal dosha trends; post a "why am I sleeping badly" question chart over in the Medical Horary section, and we'll take a look to see what element(s) might currently be out of balance.

[retinoid]

I use the Vedic Nakshatras along with the padas to determine my dosha...So you need to look that up based on moon sign. Most people have a mixture of two doshas depending on where they live and what season. So if you live in very hot climates all year and are pitta and vata...then pitta will be dominant.

Thanks Retnoid!

My Nakshatra birth star is Krittika, 4* taurus sid moon. Lord, sun. I think?
What would that mean?
I live in uk, so never warm, lol!

[chei star]

I got...

VATA 10
PITTA 16
KAPHA 20


Not really sure what it all means but I have a Water/Earth dominated chart with a little fire (Asc and Venus) and no Air.

Can I just say I disagree with some of what my body type says it is.. I do not have oily skin, it is very soft and smooth but I have psoriasis in some places. And definitely do not have slow digestion. The rest though, I suppose I agree with.

[dr. farr]

The elemental qualities are just the framework, the matrix; within that framework, there can be functional differences in expression and manifestation/potentialities of the elemental disposition: that's why we must also take planetary and stellar energies into account, and sign influences relative to potentials as well as the basic elemental considerations.

In the above post the elements are fairly well balanced: Vata would likely need some supplementation....

[bittermoon]

very interesting.

vata: 21
pitta: 14
kapha: 7

though my chart is full of water (4 planets +AC) and air (4 planets). only 1 fire planet.

[scorpika]

13 - Vata

14 - Pitta

15 - Kapha

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further breakdown:

Mental Activity: predominance of Pitta (5)

Behavioral Profile: overall balanced (5-4-3)

Emotional Profile: predominance of Pitta (6)

Physical Profile: predominance of Kapha (7)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall, though, I feel highly emotional and disconnected.

The Pitta (mental + emotional profile) is in conflict with the Kapha (physical profile), ie essentially Fire (Pitta) vs Water (although Kapha also includes Earth) Probably supplementing Vata (Air) could be of value in balancing the other 2 elements between themselves (ie, in balancing Pitta and Kapha)

[murkybelow]

Hmmm interesting.

Vata 28

Pitta 18

Kapha 12

this does agree with my astrological chart:

Ascendant = Aquarius (V)
Asc Ruler = Scorpio (P)
Moon = Capricorn (V) + Neptune Conjunct (P)
Strongest Planet = Uranus (V)

Physical

V, P, K - 7 , 7, 6

Emotional

" " - 7 , 2, 3

Behavioral

V, P, K - 9 ,5 , 1

Mental

V, P, K - 5, 5, 2
