These houses, lords of second, sixth and tenth houses and Saturn work for all bone diseases. Rahu is the planet who is responsible for causing tuberculosis of bones, When Rahu is capable of causing tubercular disease in a horoscope and also at the same time afflicts the houses and planets ruling bones or be in any way related with them and is connected with disease inflicting planet, it may give rise to tuberculosis of bones. The place of disease in the body will depend where Rahu is aspecting malefically or the house with lord of which Rahu is conjoined or the place ruled by the planet as karaka with whom Rahu is associated. When such conjunction or aspect in anyway connects the second house or second lord, it may give rise to disease in the right leg ; if it be with twelfth lord, the effect may be in the left leg. When Rahu be in any way connected with third house or lord of third house, it will affect the right hand or right collar bones when it connects the eleventh house, or lord of eleventh house, it will be left hand or left collar bone.
