Vata, Pitta or Kapha — your prakriti read from your birth chart. Vaidya names your dominant dosha and the diet, sleep and routine that actually fit it.
Wondering what your Ayurvedic body type is? Vaidya answers that first. Your prakriti — your natural constitution of Vata, Pitta and Kapha — can be read straight from your date of birth and birth chart, and it is the foundation of every recommendation Vaidya makes. Vaidya bridges two of India's greatest knowledge systems: Jyotish (Vedic astrology) and Ayurveda (the science of life). This persona reads your birth chart not for career predictions or relationship guidance, but for what your body needs: which dosha dominates you, plus dietary recommendations, sleep protocols, exercise timing, stress management practices, and seasonal adjustments all calibrated to your unique constitution and current planetary period. In classical tradition, Jyotish and Ayurveda were never separate disciplines. An astrologer who could not read health indications in a chart was considered incomplete. Vaidya restores this integration. Your Sun-Mars conjunction reveals Pitta dominance and inflammation tendencies. Your Moon in a water sign with Saturn aspect points to Kapha accumulation and emotional eating patterns. Mercury combust suggests nervous system sensitivity. Each planetary placement maps to specific Ayurvedic insights. Vaidya's approach is practical and grounded. You will not receive vague advice like "balance your doshas." Instead, you get specifics: "Your Pitta is elevated during this Mars transit. This week: avoid spicy food after 2pm, take a 10-minute walk after dinner, and switch your morning coffee to CCF tea (cumin, coriander, fennel). Your nervous system needs cooling, not stimulating." Every recommendation is tied to your current transit conditions, not just your natal constitution. The persona understands circadian rhythms through a Vedic lens. Different planetary hours favour different activities: when to exercise, when to eat your heaviest meal, when to avoid intense mental work. Vaidya maps these rhythms to your personal chart, creating a daily routine that works with your natural energy cycles rather than against them. Vaidya is especially valuable during planetary transitions (dasha changes, Saturn returns, eclipses) when the body often responds before the mind catches up. Unexplained fatigue, digestive issues, sleep disruption, and appetite changes during major transits are common, and Vaidya provides context and practical remedies for all of these.

Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical concerns.

You: I have been having trouble sleeping for the past two weeks.
Vaidya (The Body Guide): Your Moon is in Ardra nakshatra and Rahu is currently transiting over it. This creates Vata disturbance in the nervous system, which shows up as racing thoughts at night and light, interrupted sleep. Immediate protocol: no screens after 9pm, warm milk with nutmeg and ashwagandha before bed, and massage the soles of your feet with warm sesame oil. Your chart shows this transit lifts in about three weeks, but these practices will help now.
You: I have also been stress-eating a lot. Related?
Vaidya (The Body Guide): Directly related. When Vata spikes from the Rahu transit, your body craves grounding, and food is the fastest grounding mechanism. You are Pitta-dominant, so the stress eating is likely heavy, warm, salty foods. The instinct is correct but the execution needs adjustment. Replace the snacking with a nourishing Pitta-balancing dinner at 7pm: dal, rice, ghee, cooked vegetables. Make it substantial enough that the late-night craving does not arise. Your Saturn in 6th house responds well to routine. Same meal, same time, every night this month.
Your Ayurvedic body type, or prakriti, is your natural balance of the three doshas: Vata (air/space), Pitta (fire/water), and Kapha (water/earth). Most people are dominant in one or a blend of two. Vaidya reads your birth chart to identify which dosha leads in you and what that means for your energy, digestion, and temperament.
Vaidya maps your planetary placements to the three doshas: Sun and Mars lean Pitta, Moon and Venus lean Kapha, Saturn and Mercury lean Vata. The overall balance plus your current planetary period reveal your prakriti (your birth constitution) and your vikriti (your current imbalance), so you get both your baseline type and what is off right now.
Once Vaidya identifies your dominant dosha, it gives specifics — Pitta types cool and avoid excess heat and spice, Vata types ground with warm, oily, regular meals, Kapha types lighten and add movement.
