The Sages of ancient India left astrology as a treasure of knowledge solely for guiding mankind as a source of light leading to the overall, especially, the spiritual development of man giving him solace in his times of trouble. While our sages laid down various principles of astrology, today these principles are being systematically studied in our Universities and various institutions all over the world. The practical application of these principles in our lives holds a significant importance to prove that Astrology ia also a systematic study and it’s principles can be verified and analysed. The book “Womb To Cosmos : Congenital Deformity a Case Study in Astrology and Palmistry” by Neear R Gopal is also one such attempt. The author completed her Jyotirvid with distinction from Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai in 2008. In this book she takes up the case study of her son who was born with a feet deformity, Congenital Talipes equinovarus. A large group of disorders arise during the fetal development that cause abnormality of human body. The book attempts a compound analysis by making combined application of medical astrology, dermatoglyphics and chirology for the same case study. Neela has made an attempt to study various factors which confirm the presence of birth deformity by observation of human hands and also through vedic nirayan horoscope. The important highlights of the book are :

1. Analysis of the vedic horoscope emphasizing the significant factors responsible for birth ailment.
2. The scrutiny of ridge patterns on the palm, general shape of hand and finger nails.
3. The study of lines within the palm which are formed during the fetal development.

Thus, Astrology and Palmistry are no longer just means of fortune telling but have emerged as sciences which help doctors and patients iin diagnosis of difficult diseases. Serious illness, accident and hospitalization can be avoided in the nascent stage. Hindu astrology is a systematic and effective means to know about human health. The unique dasha system featuring Hindu astrology becomes the key to know about the timing of illness and curability. Truly, astrology is no longer a subject to be known and studies by a selected few but can be systematically studied and beneficially used by one and all.
