A Spouse's Health Is Their Lagna, Not Your Fast
Your 7th house describes the partner as a person in your chart. The partner's body is their own lagna, their own 6th house, and their own Sun. A fast kept for their health is a devotional act inside your 7th-lord dasha. It is not a treatment, and it does not move the Sun in their kundli. This page states no medical outcome. Care belongs with a clinician. The charts can only show which lords are in period.

Two charts, two bodies
In your chart the 7th lord and Venus describe the bond, and Jupiter karakas the husband in a woman's chart. The 7th can show strain when its lord is in the 6th, 8th, or 12th. That strain is the marriage's weather. It is not a diagnosis of the spouse's organs. Their vitality is their lagna lord and their Sun, exalted in Mesha or debilitated in Tula on their own birth time. Their 6th lord's dasha is their illness-theme period. Your Tuesday fast does not enter their Vimshottari balance. Couples who keep a vow together are still two nakshatras and two opening dashas.
What a fast can be
A vrata on the weekday of the 7th lord is a coherent devotion: Friday if Venus rules the 7th, Thursday if Jupiter does, Saturday if Saturn does. For Mesha lagna the 7th lord is Venus, so Friday fits that marriage lord. For Mithuna lagna Jupiter rules the 7th, so Thursday fits. The fast marks attention and restraint. It does not exalt a debilitated planet in the spouse's chart, and it does not replace medicine. If you are frightened, the useful chart step is to see whether your 7th lord's antardasha is the source of the alarm, and whether their 6th lord's period is actually running. Those are timing questions. They are not permissions to skip care.
Mangala Gauri is a specific vow
The Shravana Tuesday fast for Gauri is a marital vow in its own month, tied to Mars's weekday, and it is not a general hospital plan. Keep it if it is your custom, on the Tuesdays that fall in Shravana at your city's sunrise. Do not stretch it into a claim about recovery. Jyothish SI can cast both kundlis with Lahiri ayanamsa when both birth times exist. Read your 7th. Read their lagna and 6th. Then let a doctor speak about the body. The prayer can continue beside that order. It should not replace it.
Frequently asked questions
Which chart shows the spouse's vitality?
The spouse's own lagna lord, Sun, and 6th house. Your 7th house shows the partner's place in your life, not their medical chart.
Which weekday fits a marriage-lord fast?
The weekday of the 7th lord: Friday for Venus, Thursday for Jupiter, Saturday for Saturn. For Aries lagna that lord is Venus.
Can a fast treat a partner's illness?
No. This page states no medical outcome. A vrata is devotion. Symptoms belong with a clinician. Dashas only time the houses.
