Health Predictionin Astrology using Data Mining Techniques

Astrology is a traditional science which is widely used in India especially in Kerala. In the old era the astrology was only considered along with the Hindu mythology. But now people from different religious beliefs also follow the astrology. The reason is the people?s curiosity to know about the life before the birth and the things that may happen in the future. For the prediction, the astrologers use the horoscope of a person. Horoscope is a chart which shows the positions of the planets at the time of birth. The birth chart is divided into twelve houses. Each house may or may not carry a single or combination of planets. Each house is dedicated for different significations. For example the eighth house indicates the health, death, disease, mental pain etc. In Kerala when a baby is born, the very next time the believers will write the horoscope of that baby with the help of a professional astrologer. At present, the creation of horoscope and all predictions are done manually by the conventional astrological tools. But it leads to decrease the authenticity of the traditional science. This paper deals with the prediction of a human?s health by studying the eight house of the horoscope with the help of data mining techniques like classification, clustering, rule based analysis etc. The data mining techniques are scientifically proved and if it is possible to implement these techniques for astrological prediction then it will increase the credibility of astrology.
