Perseids Meteor Shower: How it affects you?

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

The brightest and fastest amongst meteor showers is the famous Perseids Meteor Shower. So popular it is, Google put the picture of the shower on the title page along with its name. The Perseids stream never disappoints. Many enthusiasts have gathered in open spaces and or on the roof of their houses to see the magnificent cosmic firework on  August 12, when Perseids reached its peak performance. This blog post details for you Perseids in terms of astronomy, cosmics and how it affects your family life.

Meteors

You have heard about meteor showers or shooting stars or falling stars, or simply meteors. There are millions of these shooting stars seen throughout the year. When you look at the night sky generally after mid-night you will observe streaks of light flicking away in the sky for a second or two. What you see is not a physical matter, because most of these meteors are so small to be seen from the earth, but the atmospheric reaction when these fast moving meteors hit at the earth’s atmosphere resulting in a friction between the air molecules and the surface of the meteor. So you see the burning of the gaseous particles in glowing colour.

Meteors originate in the following manner. Usually comets pass through the Sun in their orbit and when they get closer to the Sun, they shed parts of their matter. These are known as Meteoroids which travel alone or in a group in the vast expanse of the space. When some of these meteoroids enter into the earth’s orbit we call them Meteors to distinguish from the Meteoroids. Most of these meteors burn out as shooting stars as described above.

Perseids

Most of the showers are named after the constellations they originate from; we call this as “radiant”. Perseids takes its names from Perseus constellation, to which we can trace back its origin or radiant at the point where delta Persei a brilliant star is located. Perseids Meteor Showers which we call “Perseids” for easy reference commences on July 23 and ends by August 22 every year. The stream strikes at about 90 miles per hour. On average 50 to 80 meteors could be seen within an hour, which is technically called as Zenithal Hourly Rate (ZHR). This level peaks to about 120 ZHR during 11, 12 & 13 August. Moreover, the level rises to about 200 to 500 when the Earth comes into the path of the comet 109P / Swift Tuttle when it flies past the Sun. The comet’s debris is the one that is transformed into the fascinating shooting stars, hence we call this comet the parent of the stream. During the years 1993 and 1994 high rates of ZHR were recorded as the 109P / Swift Tuttle comet was passing through the orbit of the earth. In fact, the comet discovered by Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle in 1862, after whose names it is named was last seen on earth on March 29, 1995 in Australia. The Perseids stream is seen in different cosmic colours. These are keenly watched because the stream coincides with summer time in the Northern Hemisphere. The radiant Perseus constellation lies beyond the ecliptical path of the Sun in the North. Nevertheless its proximity with Aries and Taurus constellations bestows to it high cosmic significance.

Cosmics of Perseids

Perseus is all about bravery, love, wisdom, perseverance and advancement of worldly or spiritual learning. You have learnt about the hero Perseus. He set himself to free Andromeda, the virgin who was chained to the rock to be devoured by Cetus, the whale. Before Cetus can complete his task, Perseus arrives with the Head of Gordon Medusa in hand. He showed the head to Cetus. On seeing Gordon Medusa, Cetus is turned into stone. Perseus then marries Andromeda, so goes the Legend.

Against this mythological background I observed the sky chart from Tehran, Iran at 6.00 p.m., on August 12. I noticed significant phenomena which seriously affect the influence Perseids has upon the people on the earth. One relates to the position of the Moon which is on its last quarter. Although the Moon is 21.5 days old it is still brighter to overshadow the brightness of the shooting stars. Moreover, the Moon is in the first Lunar Mansion (Manzil-Al-Qamar, in Arabic) of Al-Sheratain (means: Two signs). This Manzil is defined as very auspicious moment for beginning any matter or work; besides the Moon itself is in the Aries constellation, which is the first zodiacal sign. The other relates to the position of Sun, which is in the Leo Constellation. On its direct path lies Regulus the Royal Star, Mercury and Saturn all in the Leo Constellation. Now let me give you the result.

How Perseids Meteor Shower 2009 affects you?

1. Babies born in your family during the peak period 11 to 13 August 2009 would be brilliant and maverick at one and the same time. You should take care to neutralize the quality of any eccentric behaviour in them. Let me give you some of the noted persons who had similar birthdays whose brilliance, extra ordinary perseverance and non-conformist behaviour are well documented:

August 11

Steve Wozinak – Co-founder of Apple computer

Alex Haley – Author of the Book “ Roots: The Saga of an American Family”

August 12

Cleopatra VII – Egyptian Queen who ended her life by allowing herself to be stung by a cobra

Cecil B DeMille – Legendary Film Producer

George Soros – Investor

August 13

Sir Alfred Hitchcock – Legendary Film Producer

Fidel Castro – Cuban Leader

2. Those of you who are born in the period 11to 13 August would go through severe mental stress arising from delays, failures and losses in family and business life

3. Those of who are born in the First Moon Mansion of Al-Sheratain are set to reach your best performance in career, business and social life but miserably fail in family and married life

4. Those of you who are born under stars in Perseus Constellation such as Mirfak (alternatively known as Algeneb), a brilliant white and lilac star or Miram, a greenish white giant will have tremendous boost.

5. If your birth or lucky stars are Menkib, Athik and Misam in the Perseus constellation you would achieve above-average results.

6. If you are born under the Star Algol in the Perseus Constellation, you would tend to achieve less than average results. However, if you are feminine you will go have excellent time in family and business life.

Megan Fox, what her Knee reveals?

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Megan Fox is the toast of media for quite some time. On June 8, she became the heart throb of the world when she appeared in the Premiere of the Film “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” in Tokyo wearing a fantastic purple coloured gown revealing her right thigh downward. I looked at this picture and the subsequent ones taken in Seoul and Berlin premiers of this Film. These pictures reveal high cosmic power of Megan Fox, the fascinatingly beautiful American actress. I share my thoughts with my readers. Let me pay courtesy to http://www.huffingtonpost.com from whose pages I have culled the pictures of Megan Fox.

Megan Fox, Bio Snippets

Megan Denise Fox was born on May 16, 1986 in Rockwood, Tennessee. A mix of genetics from Irish, French, Italian and Cherokee make this Celebrity slim and beautiful. Though she grew up in a poor family she was able to finish her high school and at the same time learning the brass tacks of acting and dancing. Standing tall at five and half feet, she is already billed as the sexiest women by magazines such as Maxim and FHM. Her lifestyle of having tattoos in her body has raised eyebrows in the normally permissive Hollywood. According to one count there are nine of these tattoos; one in the inner right forearm depicting the face of late Marilyn Monroe is worthy of note. “Tattoos are not limited to sailors” she has said” “It’s a fine art; I find it beautiful; I like it”. She has been too frank about sex as well, admitting that “I have the libido of a 15 year old boy” (Emphasis added). In another instance she has said “I really enjoy having sex, and that’s offensive to some people. Women are quickest to call other women sluts, which is sad”. http://www.meganfox.net

Her first film “Holiday in the sun” was released in 2001 launching her into one of the successful career as a star. Her break came through with “Transformers” released in 2007. She has acted in few other films as well. Her latest hits are “Jennifer’s Body and “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”. She is a talented artist with a matching beauty to go with it.

Cosmics of Knee

According to physiology the knee is of an unstable structure. It supports the body weight of a person when he stands, walk about, run or kick a football. The knee connects the thigh bone and shin bone popularly known as shank. But cosmically, the knee downward to the foot is a source of basic cosmic energy that keeps a person alive. The earth energy is generated from the right leg and the water energy is made from the left leg. These energy flows are transported via the knees to the entire body. The knee reveals a lot of secrets of a person. Let us analyse the cosmic power of the knee of Megan Fox looking at the following pictures:

Megan Fox: Picture one

clip_image001

1. The Knee is shaped like the face of a horse; you can see the glow of the knee-cap which has slight caving in both right and left side at the top; the aura of reddish – crimson flows out and in association with the colour of purple dress amplifies a majestic look. A horse trader would immediately look at this sign in the knee of any horse

2. She is undoubtedly connected to a horse in terms of cosmics. Fast and action films are her forte. She would drive happiness in using her footwork in dancing and in action scenes of films. She is an excellent rider of horse, if she mounts one. Besides, her interest in tattoos is also partly driven from this simile

3. She is remotely connected to royalty via her father; my guess is it must be either Cherokee or to the French aristocracy

Megan Fox: Picture Two

clip_image002

4. In order to test this finding I looked at her left knee shown in Picture two. You can notice the same features being replicated in her left knee as well with a remarkable difference. The left knee gives out more reddish rays than her right knee. Moreover the shank of her left leg is straighter. It means she has high sexual power with a combination of earth, water and fire bestowing raw power of a 15 year old boy. She also has more male power which translates into her infatuation with actress such as late Marilyn Monroe and styling with actress like Angelina Jolie

Megan Fox: Picture Three

clip_image003

5. A side view of both her knees with right leg forward in full grace show a well rounded shape accompanied with a slight dip in the lower part of right knee and more than compensating flourish in the upper knee demonstrating that she has a life of rag to riches

Megan Fox: Picture Four

clip_image004

6. Finally, the same picture seen from the front in an upside down V formation of the knees sets alarm bells ringing. You can notice that physiologists may be damned right. Knees are of unstable structure. She must guard against any injury to one of her knees, specially the left one. Let me once again bring the horse simile. Most horses end their life with broken knees.

Sex and Your Penis

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

One of the irritating spam mails you receive in your inbox is the solicitation for giving you an enlarged penis provided you part with big chunk of money. The craze for penis enlargement is such that, there is a thriving industry consisting of quite a lot of quacks and of course few genuine medical professionals. “Does  length of penis matter” is a question discussed in many forums. I believe that size has some relevance but it cannot be taken in isolation. There are several aspects that make for a satisfactory and enjoyable sex in your lifestyle. In this blog post I am describing these aspects and detail the six types of penis. Check your one among these.

Size of Penis

In the modern times, men do not have giant size penis that was the subject of study and sometimes worship in ancient cultures. Hindus had lingam (penis) worship from time immemorial. This lingam known as Phallus in Greek mythology was fascinatingly large. Ironically in Greek sculptures, the Gods were presented with fairly small penis. The only exception comes from Roman tradition where the Roman God of fertility Priapus was portrayed as having a long penis. The story is very much amusing. Priapus son of Aphrodite and Dionysus was courting Lotis a nymph who repulsed his advances. Determined to have her, Priapus stealthily approached her during night to have sex with her. At this moment an ass brayed and Lotis awoke. She chased him away. Priapus with his log penis erect was running to the amusement of all the gods; so goes the story.

We can analyze the size of penis In terms of length, girth (thickness), shape and cosmics.

Length

The length of penis is generally between 3 to 9 inches. It is measured while the penis is erect and straight. You have to take a foot rule and place it on the top of the penis one end touching the pelvic area; the other end perpendicular to your penis cone. Take the reading two to three times to get the exact measure. If your penis is less than 3 inches it is better for you to talk with an urologist regarding the condition known as micropenis; if it measures more than 9 inches then you have to take extra care as you are one of the few people on earth who has this luxury and perhaps liability.

Girth

The thickness of penis generally varies between 2.4 to 5.8 inches of circumference. Moreover, the girth on the cone can be exceptionally high in certain circumstances. You should measure the girth on the cone, on the base and the middle of the penis known as stem. Record this reading and as I said earlier take two to three readings.

Shape

Both length and girth determine the shape of penis. Hence penis comes in different shapes; all the shapes cannot be covered in a blog post. Generally the shapes are:

1. Conic Boom– a well rounded cone in front with a tapering base

2. Real Phallus a rounded cone, thick stem and thick base

3. Triangle a pointed cone, fair stem and strong base.

Other shapes include rounded, flat, lean, fleshy; long and thick or small and thin; alternately it can be long and lean or short and thick. The permutation is endless.

Cosmics of Penis

Though length, girth and shape do have a bearing on your side, you must understand that you are having sex with a partner whose needs have to be taken into count. However much your penis is strong in terms of length, girth and shape it does not drive the women crazy. On the contrary a long penis might frighten a woman rather than entice her. That is why you need to know the cosmics of penis. Many women rate a penis best when it is driven by cosmics taking her to heaven. For example a hairy, dark penis softly landing in the hands of a cajoling woman leads her to ecstasy well before it actually penetrates her vagina. Most women do touch and fondle penis before the intercourse begins.

Types of Penis

1. Eros Penis: - Named after the Greek god of Eros (Roman god of Cupid), son of Aphrodite the goddess of love and Ares the god of war. Eros is known for unmitigated lust and intercourse and his romantic love with Psyche is well known. Standing erect between 3 to 4 inches in length, it symbolizes a passionate lover without a strong drive or sustaining power. In most cases it is “the spirit is willing and the flesh does not” scenario. As the penis grows old it can only enjoy sex mentally rather than physically. Quick ejaculation is the order of the day. Though the penis does not perform in the bed it has a compensatory factor in the form of a loving husband or partner. Many such Eros are very faithful to their wives and partners. Eros who have conic shape penis could do well specially if they target the vulva of the vagina making the women ride on pleasure. Partners of Eros generally do not complain unless the penis is so lean and listless that it cannot even harness the clitoris of women. Please note that, the vulva and clitoris are within 4 inches of the mouth of the vagina.

2. Ares Penis: - Though Ares is the Greek god of war (Romans called him Mars) and being son of Zeus and Hera he has equal felicity in war and vagina. Standing erect between 4 to 5 inches, Ares is the master of the realm. Ares mixes passion with pleasure and generally performs well in the bed. Since passion precedes performance the penis ideally should be a triangle with pointed cone, fair stem and a strong base. This stimulates narrow virginal passage and then cuppers it with the thick base. Where its cone is thick ejaculation could be faster and could mar happiness. This can be avoided by stimulating the vaginal passage on the mouth of the vagina a lot. Sadly, Ares generally do not have real phallus. To compensate Aries may be hairy or with an appealing body odour.

3. Apollo Penis: – Named after the all-rounder god Apollo, son of Zeus and Leto; Apollo is known for many things good in life including happy marriage and enjoyable sex. Apollo stands erect between 5 to 6 inches, the most versatile one among the penis. Generally it is phallic with rounded cone, thick stem and thick base. Apollo has an un-harming smile on the cone and an appealing smell. It puts many women at ease; they tend to play with it for sometime. When it comes to real performance Apollo never hesitates; it completely covers the vagina no matter whether small or big. Many vaginas would accommodate an Apollo either by contracting or expanding the passage. Ecstasy is the order of the day. Even a hyper-sex vagina would fly to heaven with an Apollo. Some women need stimulation of cervix deep inside the vagina for orgasm. Apollo can do this marvellously well. Hence, partners are very faithful to Apollo.

4. Zeus Penis: - Named after the Greek god of Zeus (Roman god Jupiter), Zeus penis is the king among the entire world of penis. Mythologically, Zeus is the Lord of the Sky and usurper of the Earth. Similarly Zeus subjugates a wife and callously ravishes other vaginas whom it can lay its penis on. Standing erect between 6 to 7.4 inches, Zeus is a master craftsman. Zeus is long and thick and generally has a constitution of real phallus or conic boom appearance, it can scorch any vagina. Such was its power that vaginas just give in to the Zeus. Many Zeus pregnate women without any qualm or quarter. Why women worship Lingam? You can ask the question from a Zeus.

5. Dionysus Penis: - Named after Dionysus, son of Zeus and his mistress Semele; Dionysus was born twice, so to speak. First birth was when Zeus took him out of Semele’s womb and stitched him in his own thigh. Second birth was from the thigh of Zeus later. Hence, Dionysus has the power to give orgasm to any type of women. The phenomenal double orgasm of vagina takes place when Dionysus penis gets its way into the vagina. Standing erect between 7.4 inches to 9.0 inches, Dionysus is the all-rounder with all three shapes: real phallus, conic boom or triangle shape. Dionysus can penetrate a women’s vagina and stimulate vulva and clitoris in the mouth of the vagina; it can also fondle cervix and make the vagina reaches orgasm faster; it can also stimulate anterior fornix located above the cervix deep inside the vagina or posterior fornix located below the cervix deep inside the vagina. These are the most ecstatic centres for sex for any women. No wonder the vagina gets multiple orgasms. Thank you Dionysus.

6. Priapus Penis: - Named after The Roman god of fertility, Priapus penis is extremely long. In mythology Priapus the son of Aphrodite & Dionysus longs for women but never gets one because they are scared of the size of his penis. A long thick and ugly looking penis, Priapus is never wanted by fastidious women. In the early 20th Century a Priapus penis was banned by the courts in Ceylon not to have any sexual intercourse with any person. Mercifully, the courts did not bar the Priapus penis having sex with animals. Standing erect over 9 inches, Priapus can be anything between 9 inches to eternity. I have personally seen a Priapus penis with a foot length. Whether it can arouse sexual feelings in women or not is a muted question. Priapus can have sex with women whose vagina is very deep with a wide passage or it can satisfy itself without penetrating the vagina at all.

Conserve Cosmic Energy while taking a Shower

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Taking a shower or bath is one of the best ways to relax yourself after a hard days work. Most of you get into the shower turn the tap and start wetting yourself head on. Some do wear scalp cups but let the water fall on your body straight away. Some of you do a quick shower before plunging into the swimming pool. Similarly when you go for a bath you get into tub pronto with your full body. Immersing the entire body immediately under a shower or inside the bath is very much counter-productive to your original idea of relaxing and harmonizing your cosmic energy. Of course you clean yourself from the dirt and sweat. But, in that process you have lost vast quantum of cosmic energy. In this blog post I am sketching the steps you should follow in taking a shower or bath. Stick to this and your cosmics work best for you.

A)  Steps in taking shower or bath

1. Turn on the shower and wet you right leg knee downward; if you are getting into the bath tub place your right foot inside the tub and pour water from the right knee downward

2. Now let the shower head spray water on to your left leg knee downward; if you are getting into the bath tub place your left foot inside the tub and pour water from the left knee downward

3. Turn the shower head to spray the water to your right thigh from the hip downward; if you are in the bath tub pour water over the right thigh from hip downward

4. Now let the shower head spray water on to your left thigh from the hip downward; if you are in the bath tub pour water over the left thigh from hip downward

5. Turn the shower head to spray the water to your right shoulder from the neck downward; if you are in the bath tub pour water over the right shoulder from the neck downward

6. Now let the shower head spray water on to your left shoulder from the neck downward; if you are in the bath tub pour water over the left shoulder from the neck downward

7. Turn the shower head to spray water to your face; if you are in the bath tub pour daub water over your face. At this point your chest, back and stomach all would receive springing of water

8. The last step is to wet you head if you so wish.

B)  Steps in applying soap or shampoo

Applying soap, liquid wash or shampoo is on the reverse order of the steps outlined for taking shower or bath.

1. If you are wetting your head start with shampooing your scalp gently and mildly with fingers massaging your head working backward from your forehead.

2. If you are not wetting the head, start applying soap to your face, ears and neck but without harming your eyes

3. Thereafter apply soap to your left shoulder neck downward

4. Now apply soap to your right shoulder neck downward

5. You should then apply soap to chest, back and stomach area

6. Thereafter apply soap to your left thigh hip downward

7. Now apply soap to your right thigh hip downward

8. Thereafter apply soap to your left leg knee downward

9. Now apply soap to your right leg knee downward

Once you have finished applying soap and shampoo follow the steps outlined under (A) “Steps in taking shower or bath” to rinse your body off the shampoo and soap buds.

C)  Steps in wiping your body dry

 

1. If you have wetted your head, start with the head gently wiping head without hurting your hair

2. If you have not wetted the head, then start dabbing the towel gently on your face, ears and neck. Care should be taken regarding your eyes.

3. Go on to wipe the right shoulder dry neck downward

4. Now turn to your left shoulder and wipe it dry from neck downward

5. Run the towel to your chest, back and stomach and dry these areas

6. Go on to wipe the right thigh dry hip downward

7. Now turn to your left thigh and wipe it dry from hip downward

8. Go on to wipe the right leg dry from knee downward; work up to your toes

9. Now turn to your left leg and wipe it dry from knee downward; work up to your toes

Once this is over you will feel that you are very much relaxed with abundant cosmic energy within you.

How to give Useful Advice?

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Most of you have occasions to advise a friend, colleague or a relation on some matters. How your advising session went on? Answers would definitely vary, but many of you would admit that you could have done better. In this blog post I am drawing my experience as an Adviser for the last two decades to frame you a simple manual of How to give useful advice, so that next time you advise more effectively. I have configured you as the adviser and “asker” as the other party.

1.      Why Nobody listens to Advice?

Many of us have problems in taking advice from others; there are several reasons for this:

1. Such advice is mostly un-solicited

2. Adviser gives arm-chair opinion where asker does not accept the adviser being a person of having sufficient experience or knowledge

3. The language used is pedagogic or too technical or very complex for the asker to understand

4. The advice is badly delivered and over-shoots the problem faced by the asker

5. Timing and/or the situation are not conducive; mostly the advice given in front of others is ignored by the asker

6. Lack of relationship of trust between asker and the adviser

7. The adviser treats the asker as a and uses a tone of authority that does not go well

8. Bad Cosmics: In most cases the asker is in an angry emotional or in depressed mood generating negative and bad cosmics; likewise the adviser shows patronizing attitude or sympathetic feelings making negative cosmics. Often this situation is exacerbated when the adviser finds fault with the asker or criticizes or blames him.

2.      The Asker

1. Ideally, he must take the initiative to ask for advice from you

2. He must say whether he is calling for an opinion or advice; an opinion is generally, brief to the point and often subjective whereas an advice is a well thought of solution plan based on thinking and reflection and often it is objective

3. He must indicate the time and place suitable for advice and get the consent from you for this arrangement.

3.      The Adviser

1. You should never give un-solicited advice, where circumstances warrant you to give such advice, ask him whether you can have a word with him. If he says ‘not this time” just forget it; do not start venting your feelings on him”I told you so, you went and did this”. Sometimes you might try to give advice anonymously, never do this

If he agrees, tell him that you feel for him and whether he wants your opinion or advice. If he asks for your opinion give it in simple language and thank him for the opportunity. If he wants advice, once again ask him whether he is really interested in getting advice from you. This process is known as “discernment”. If he really wants advice then find out the time and place you can do this when both you and he are in good moods to listen and discuss the matter in hand

2.  When you are at it, put him in ease; emphasize on the mutual relationship and trust both parties have with each other

3. You have to demonstrate to him that you are a detached person and that you have no vested interest or conflict of interest in handling this assignment

4. You should also adopt a relationship of an adult talking to an adult or an adult talking to a parent; never take the role of adult or parent talking to a child; it is suicidal.

4.       The Issue at hand

1. As a preamble ask him to tell about the issue at hand; do not interrupt; let him go for some length before you ask a point or two. When he has finished you ask him to clarify issue; generally the time – tested format of “what, when, why, who and how” comes handy. Depending on the situation and the issue at hand, you can tweak it

2.  When you feel that you are not the person who can give advice because the issue involves a question of law, medicine or technology then tell him frankly and refer him to a competent person for further advice

3.  If you feel that the issue can be dealt with by you then proceed to the nest stage.

5.       Listening  

1. Summarize the issue and get his confirmation by asking “so you are saying ……” or “do you mean to say……” etc.

2. Now you ask him further queries so that he thinks for himself; at this time you should make him feel comfortable and believe that you are the right person with right knowledge and exposure who can handle this assignment. Generally, at this point he will open up; he will spotlight his own search on aspects that he has neglected so far. More often than not he would come up with a solution himself. Your role is to patiently guide him. This is win-win situation where he gets space to think about something; you get space to reflect upon. In my experience, this moment is too memorable for the asker; often he would tell others what a great adviser he got

3. If he still cannot come up with something for himself, then you need to do more work and proceed to next stage.

6.       Empathizing

1. At this stage, you have to ask for his goals, objectives and ideas regarding any solution you can make for him; you should understand his sensitivities and emotions; you will also know his capacity to solve the issue at hand

2. You must watch him carefully; in case it is a tele conference you must notice his tonal voice; in case of video conference or face to face situation watch his body language, facial expression and the nuances of his speech that convey lot about him, his attitudes and his desires

3. You have to collate your experience; recall what you have learnt in similar cases and bring it to weigh on the current issue. This is known as “personalizing”. Care should be taken not to over-do it

4. Once again, it is necessary to put him on ease with re-assuring words; without bragging yourself state your experience and tell him that you can give him a way–out.

7.       Suggesting a Solution plan

1.  At this point you are going to unveil a solution plan; you can ask him whether it is alright for you to give a detailed one or something brief now so that he can catch up with you for details some other time. In case of latter make a brief and short solution for him in simple language and ask him to think about it. In case he calls for a detailed plan then you go through the entire mile

2. Formulate the solution plan in such manner at any given time it can be reduced into writing

3. The solution plan must have actionable steps with sufficient justifications. You must never give a solution that a reasonable person in the given circumstance will find difficult to implement

4. You can give the solution plan indicating the alternatives (if any), pros and cons of each alternative and the cost and benefit of each alternative

5. Even here you should give him a space so that he can insert his own predilection. For example, if the plan requires purchase of a car give him space to determine the colour, model and make.

6. Never create another problem or head-ache for him in the guise of solving the issue at hand. Often, advisers create additional problems to the askers; consequently advisers are unwanted

7. Never be too candid like “calling the spade a spade”; be very diplomatic about asker or his weaknesses; make him to come out and admit his weaknesses on his own.

8.       Implementing a Solution

1. You have to give some ideas as to how he can implement the solution in short, medium and long term perspectives and the snags that arise

2. You should also tell him how he can face-up to these snags

3. It is also better to tell him the time frame for the implementation

4. Now you can ask him if he has got anything to say, or any clarifications to make. All his queries must be handled sincerely.

5. Finally thank him for giving an opportunity of being some use to him and hope for strengthening of the mutual relationship; wish him the best and ask him to keep in touch.

9.      Follow-up

Whether he calls you or not you keep in touch with him; say hello and find out how useful your advice has been. Once again thank him and wish him well.

Seven Steps in Developing a Winning Concept

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Many of you bewail the fact that everything happens around you and you have simply no way of influencing the ultimate result. If you have a concept developed for private life or public life or both, you will be able to take charge and influence the outcome because a well developed concept gives you direction, motivation and tenacity. In this blog post I describe Seven Steps in developing a Winning Concept.

1.   Firstly, think about yourself; your ideas, your moods, your feelings, your desires, your strengths and your weaknesses.  Now think of the goals you wish to achieve in private life or public life or both. Private life relates to you and your personal side; let us call this as “family”. Public life relates to what you do for a living; your employment or vocation or engagement; let us call this as “business”. Once this is complete you have an idea as to what is the central theme running, something that threads between and amongst all what have been described above.

2.   Secondly, you cross to the opposite side; become an imaginary critic of yourself.  Start where you ended under step number 1, that is the central theme and subject it to brutal examination. Is your central theme is tenable? Is it bunkum? From there go down to the goals you have set upon. Are these achievable? Are you over-shooting? Go down still further. Your weaknesses, strengths, desires, feelings, moods and ideas do all these truly reflect you? Did you under-state the weaknesses and over-state the strengths?  Are you true to yourself when you listed everything about you?

At this point it is better for you to write items 1 & 2 in your note book; you have done the internal analysis; so far so good

3.   Thirdly, you are going to look at outside; this time gathering information from books and magazines, observing others similar to you behaving the way they do, listening to those who are similar to you about their feeling, thoughts and actions that made them succeed in life. Once this phase is over, write down a summary of your observations

4.   Fourthly, you turn inward to yourself once again; you have already written the pros and cons of everything along with the outside inputs as well. Now it is the time to switch on your inner mind. Go deep and listen to what your inner mind says about the whole thing. If it says “enough” you stop and go to step number 6. If the inner mind says “all what you did so far is not enough and you need to do more work” go to step number 5

5.   The fifth step deals with the realm of the un-chartered or un-known. In this step you have to find something that has never occurred to you so far; or observed by you in your dealing with the external parties under step number 3, something that is unimaginable like Windows or Dell to the inventors who founded it for the first time. Both windows and Dell are success stories now but came from this un-chartered and un-known area. You will also come across an idea that would shape your concept after you explore the realm of un-chartered or un-known

6.  Once you have the bare concept ready by now, you have to switch –on your Cosmics to further examine whether your concept suits you fine. Each person is born with a different set of Cosmics. Some have predominantly water in their element whereas others have fire. For some certain numbers will work for others the same numbers would not? Certain colours would appeal to some while the same colours make others un-comfortable. Some can work at a stretch for several hours while others need rest and relaxation to continue. The probabilities are endless. Once you analyze your cosmics you will come to an understanding whether the concept you are developing will suit you in the first place

7.   The last item is to dry test the concept you have developed and reduce it in few words or a phrase or a single sentence. I give few examples:

Maths Teacher: My concept is “innovative teaching method along with rote learning bent on more class work” 

Lawyer:  My concept is “tell the truth, nothing but the truth to everyone including my clients”

Old Vehicle Salesman   : My concept is “bring convenience and affordability to the buyer and reasonable price to the seller, keeping my commission intact”

Improve Your Life with Honey

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

You have already an Honey with you; your wife or girl friend who remains your source of inspiration and support. Likewise, you need Honey, this time the sweet yellowish to golden fluid produced by the honey bees. You will ask me why honey and what it does for me. In this blog post I describe what made me to study honey, the features of honey and the cosmics of honey to improve your life.

What made me to study Honey

About 35 years ago, I was posted as manager of a bank branch in a remote area in the eastern part of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). During weekends, I scoot off to the jungles and parley with aborigines known as Veddhas. Highly hospitable group the Veddhas find their food by hunting.  Since hunting animals depend on season and chance they preserve the meat in honey. I have relished on venison and other meats preserved by the number of full moons as they do not use calendars to tell us the time.  Honey can preserve contents soaked with it for a long time.

In contrast, I found a different feature; this time not preservation but disintegration, when I travelled to the northern area of Ceylon known as Wanni where  settlement of farmers live.  I was given a special treat: A part of honey hive with the head of cobra inside. The poor soul has got into the hive with its hood and part of its upper body. Entrapped it was not able to get out. The cobra  died; the part outside the bee hive got rotten and has fallen off. The part of cobra inside the beehive was disintegrated into honey. The cobra’s hood was still visible as a film but no physical body could be seen. I joined my hosts to relish on this wonder. What happened to the cobra’s poison? All that were disintegrated perhaps.

Honey, like your wife or girl friend can make you or break you. It can preserve or it can disintegrate. It can make you fat or make you thin. It heals diarrhoea or can increase loose motion. On the top of the line, it boosts your sex drive or dull your libido.

Features

  1. Honey is produced by honey bees known as apis mellifera from nectar of flowers in the vicinity of the beehive. A complex regurgitation process takes place where the bees transform nectar into the viscous fluid. The final secretion which  was earlier thought to come out of the mouth is  now found to come out  from the intestines
  2. About 35 % denser than water, honey has less water content barring the growth of micro organism; hence it can preserve itself, provided that it is not exposed to oxidisation and fermentation. Honey can attract external ambience such as smell or moisture; that is why it is recommended to store honey in glass or ceramic jars rather than in tins
  3. Honey has different types of sugar such as fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose accounting for about 75 % of its content. The balance 25% consists of minerals such as potassium, sodium, phosphate, copper, iron, calcium & manganese, along with carbohydrates, proteins, enzymes, various vitamins and water
  4. Raw honey is unprocessed, often darker in colour with fragrance and taste that does not appeal to many. It is used mainly for medical and nutritional purposes. Selection of raw honey be left with experts
  5. Ripe honey is unprocessed, fresh and ready for various use including consumption. it gives  pleasant fragrance and appealing taste
  6. Processed honey is what you see in the supermarket shelf. Often it is purified by heating which destroys major part of its contents such as nutrients and minerals.

Cosmics

Food Source

Honey can be easily spread on bread; used as a substitute for sugar; flavour any type of food. Honey restores energy like glucose; it quickly rejuvenates and is a product that can quenches thirst and fulfils appetite at one and the same time. You must use ripe honey or processed honey for this purpose.

Disease Buster

  1. Raw honey: Used for treating allergic disorders; topical applications for various skin ailments; dressing wounds; soothing wounds. This can  also be used as barrier cream and as anti-bacterial treatment. “Manuka” honey from New Zealand is very much recommended
  2. Ripe honey: Used for treating various diseases such as diabetes, common cold, cough, eye-diseases, gastro-intestinal ailments, high blood-pressure, fevers, blisters, stomach-inflammation, kidney issues and heart-issues.
  3. Processed honey: As oral rehydration solution in case of diarrheal  disorders; anti-inflammatory dose for many ailments; an expectorant to dilute flam; excellently suited for antiseptic treatment.

Beauty Aid

  1. Cleopatra, the Egyptian Queen knew the art making her the most beautiful women at her time; her bath of immersing in the tub containing honey mixed with aroma is still used by beauty therapists all over the world. In today’s context, shampoos and beauty aids give the same effect. However, rather than depending on made for solutions stacked in supermarket shelf you can try out your own honey bath
  2. For skin therapy, honey is unbeatable; honey can be applied to various parts of the body in the morning or after a bath and allowed to stay for an hour
  3. For facials honey can be used to add glow and a flavour that lasts even after the honey is mopped out
  4. Honey in the morning with either hazelnut or almonds can be taken after the meals.

Health & Fitness

  1. Honey must be taken first thing in the morning after cleaning your teeth. A table spoon of honey on an empty stomach will make you strong and healthy. Do not take anything, not even water for half to one hour. Similarly you must take a table spoon of honey as the last thing before the bed time. Neither wash your mouth nor drink water thereafter.
  2. If you feel tired constantly, without any reason for this state, better take honey three times a day after meals. Allow one hour interval before you drink or eat  thereafter
  3. In case of sports or gym work it is better to take honey mixed with water or lemon juice at the beginning, interval and at the end before you take any other nutrients
  4. To keep fit and youthful you can take honey regularly twice a day morning and evening. “Kamahi” honey from New Zealand is recommended.

Mind and Intelligence

  1. For children who are mentally retarded, honey must be given just before their meals
  2. For students who are weak in their studies honey along with onion ( small varieties) syrup can be given
  3. A week before examinations honey with cocoa be administered on them couple of hours before bed time. Use “Karri” from Australia for this purpose
  4. For adults who have problems in balancing mental faculty with physical activity, honey along with whole  wheat bread or meal is a must. Honey from Tasmania known as “Leatherwood” is recommended.

Sex & Marriage

  1. For general sexual pleasure, honey twice a day is an excellent stimulant. Honey known as “Yayla Bali” from Turkey is recommended
  2. Where one of the partner is strong and the other weak, Honey mixed with garlic and onion syrup (big variety) is recommended. Use “ Kircicegi Bali” honey from Turkey
  3. If the male partner suffers from erectile dysfunction honey mixed with garlic, ginger and onion syrup half an hour before sex will do. The honey known as “ Karakovan Bali” from Turkey is recommended
  4. If the female partner has sexual dysfunction she should add to the above mixture  white of egg and have it half an hour before sex
  5. For the newly wed honey wine is excellent; different cultures make this differently.

Spirituality

  1. Take honey as the first thing either as a drink or meal
  2. Apples slices soaked in honey increase spiritual insight
  3. After spiritual exercises such as Yoga Asanas or Sufi trances pour little honey to middle of your right palm, leave it for few minutes and sip it slowly.

Seven Planets and Two Stars: Barack Obama in Action

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

(Originally written on Blogspot on Wednesday March 25, 2009)

Celestial bodies constantly move from one position to another, each time signalling what action is cosmically good for the world. The President of the United States is the number one citizen of this earth. And the responsibility is primarily cast on him. On Sunday March 22, the sky had a significant alignment not seen for the last 100 years or so. Seven planets and two bright stars were almost on a straight line. It heralds great opportunity for the United States in particular and the World in general. Let me briefly touch on this alignment of seven planets and two stars in this blog post and the related cosmics of how Barack Obama should face up to the events unfolding in nine countries including the United States.

The Alignment

From the vantage point of the holy city of Jerusalem, I looked at the Eastern sky at 6.00 a.m. on Sunday March 22, 2009. I traced the Moon first. From there when I drew a line towards east I can extend my view up to the Sun. In between these two luminaries I sketched Star Dorsum, Jupiter, Neptune, Mars, Star Hydor, Mercury and Uranus. So I see seven planets and two magnificent stars. Incidentally, the planet Neptune is close to the Star Deneb Algedi where it was found by Astronomer Galle working under the direction of Astronomer Le Verrier at the Berlin Observatory on September 23, 1846. For the benefit of my readers I like to sketch details of the Stars Dorsum and Hydor.

Dorsum

Astronomically known as theta Capricorni, Dorsum is a double star located in the back of the sea-goat Capricorn. The Latin word dorsum means “ the back”. Belonging to the class of A 1 V, it is a main sequence dwarf star giving a brilliant white hue. It is 156 light years away and has visual magnitude of 4.1. Rotating almost 72 miles per second, it is a fast action star sitting on the elliptical path. This star coming between the Moon and the Sun in considered as heralding good times.

Hydor

Astronomically known as lambda Aquari , Hydor is a variable star located at the bend of the steam of water pouring out of the Jar the water carrier Aquarius holds. The Latin name Hydor means “ water”. It is also known as Ekkhysis from Greek Meaning “ outpouring”. Belonging to the class of M 2 III , it is a red giant giving bright red hue. It is 390 light years away and has visual magnitude of 3.7. Rotating away from earth one mile per second it is a slow moving star sitting on the elliptical path. This star is surrounded by about 100 small stars. In Hindu mythology, the star symbolizes the god Varuna, who has several roles to play: the god of ocean and water; the deity of the Moon; the guardian of Western direction; the god who can revive the dead; Varuna is also classified as Ashura and Deva in mythology. The surrounding stars are 100 Adityas , celestial bodies of goddess Adithi and Kasyapas known for their skills as physicals. This star coming between the Moon and the Sun in considered as heralding good times.

Now let me give you how this relates to the cosmics of nine selected countries and how Barack Obama should face up to these countries.

Cosmics of Nine Selected Countries

1. United States: From Globo Cop to Globo Console

The USA is changing its role getting out of the idea of using force to start consulting and consolidating. This remarkable change is good omen for the global economy and politics. Exit route in Iraq and Afghanistan is shown; recession is on the waning side. New and dependent relationship with Asia is forecast with China replacing Japan as the main partner. It is time to reflect on nuke issue with Iran and North Korea pragmatically. Once again confidence is brimming. Barack Obama is fixing many leaks at one and the same time, he should continue to do so as directed by the star Hydor.

2. Russia : Wild Bear to Terrific Tiger

Czar Putin would continue to rattle Europe, to vent anger on USA; he brings Russian winter to incalcitrant Europe by withdrawing gas in right time; but he can be a good partner too provided Barack Obama plays up to him all his Judo tackles. Russia’s unique position in traversing Europe and Asia should be explored. Russia on rise and bringing the terrific country into world’s financial and trading system in orderly manner is key priority for USA and would be done. Russia as partner and not as enemy is the likely proposition for Barack Obama.

3. China: Yellow Peril to Yellow Dawn

Both Napoleon Bonaparte and Nikita Khrushchev got it right; Napoleon said “ Do not wake China the sleeping Giant” Khrushchev went further and said “ China is yellow peril”. China is becoming both military and economic power but weak in politics. The expression “Yellow Dawn” is not mine. One of my colleagues Angel Garrett uses it as her Yahoo ID. But it is very apt for China as a rising giant with lot of yellow hue. Earlier European generals feared the Russian army in their backyard; now the world would be careful that the Chinese armed forces are not around . Barack Obama has to repeat the mantra of “Open Sesame” and get Chinese money flow into U S bonds and investments once again.

4. India: Nowhere to go Except to the Moon

Unlike China, India is reeling; her foreign policy is in shambles; neighbours have no good word for her; balancing priorities and policies have gone haywire. Facing an Election that would bring a hung parliament, India is in the bad books of every country. Nobody fears the Greek bringing gifts now; but they hate when Indians are invading their job markets. With abundant cheap labour especially in IT industry India is a head-ache for Barack Obama. With China he can come into terms be it Yuan appreciation or continuous buying of US Government bonds or WTO safeguards. What he can do with Indian cheap labour inside USA? It has touched raw nerve centres. Hence, Barack Obama talks with China seriously but just say hello to India. So Indians would better go to the Moon.

5. Indonesia: From Democracy to Demo Crazy

The fourth populous country and a brimming democracy, Indonesia has arrived in the global scene. Barack Obama was wise to send the Secretary of State on her first official mission underlining the importance of Indonesia. Japan has been always wise in giving the largest aid to this country; Australia got messed up; first it is East Timor and then interfering in domestic affairs. China plays balanced game knowing too well the strategies in the Malaccan Strait. Incumbent President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, popularly known as SBY is seeking re-election. He is dismissed by the electorate as America’s pet. Barack Obama got it over the plate; he must move carefully in an orchestrated manner to ensure Susilo re-elected , lest the Russians would be there. Barack Obama knows the country and its potential from his childhood days. And for all that there were low key demos by the Indonesians against Ms Clinton.

6. Japan : Flogging the Dead Horse

You look at the faces of Japan’s leaders; haggard old and laggard. So is the country. Japanese are fast losing the stamina and their dollars. Any entanglement with North Korea is devastating. Let China handle the case. Japanese are well advised to play second flute to USA, Russia or China in that order. Economic woes and political instability continue to harangue. Japan shall build more bridges with Asean countries and emerging tigers such as Brazil. It already has sizeable Brazilians inside Japan. Another turn is to go for Turkey & Germany together with Indonesia. Barack Obama has Japan on his side; Like the God Varuna and his 100 companions he has to cure the ills of two counties USA Japan at one and the same time.

7. Germany : Buried with the Bundesbank

Nobody underestimates the power and potency of this Aryan nation. Rising nationalism, this time non-Nazi will push the country to go out of the Euro loop. Germany was too preoccupied with the European integration and defending the Euro, the ruling currency of a motley group. Other than Gerhard Schroeder, the most successful socialist Prime Minister all others are rightists. Their apparent mistake is to ignore the Turkish population living inside the county and friendly Brazil, where the majority of the Nazis fled at the end of world War Two. Barack Obama should prod the Germans to continue this policy so that Bundesbank would be deeply buried in Europe.

8. Turkey : East or West, Turkey is Best

Nobody visualizes NATO without Turkey; that is where Turkey is heading to. Slowly and gradually the Turkish army has to give up directing both domestic and foreign policy. Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, the prime minister of Turkey is not only a nationalist but a pragmatist too. How long he can wait to join the EU? How long Northern Cyprus could be isolated? Russia and China would be glad to get Turkey in Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which groups Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan (Turkic Ethnic Group) with Russia and China. Iran is an observer country already. The loss of Turkey would be colossal. Barack Obama is scheduled to visit Turkey in April. He has to bypass both NATO and EU and sign with Turkey a “Special Relationship”, modelled on the unwritten agreement between USA & UK existing now. More than Europe America just cannot lose Turkey.

9. Iran : The Empire Strikes Back

Persia was an empire and Iran is an empire. Like Germany this Aryan nation made telling mistakes. One is to change its name to Iran. Winston Churchill famously said “ I do not know which is what Iran or Iraq”. Ever since she became Iran the country is smouldering in fire. To add to this is the incendiary branch of Islam known as “Shiaism”. But Iran is a great country with pride and tradition. It also has immense resources including educated and cultured manpower. Hospitality is something the Iranians are proud of. They are not hostile to foreigners least to the Americans. Barack Obama has made a tactful start with the message for Iranian people on the Iranian New Year, Nowruz; the time is excellent but the context was rattling. Ayatollah Ali Khameni was prompt in accepting the timing and dismissing the context. No threat can work with the Empire. Parodying Winston Churchill “ Which is fearsome: Iranian Nukes or the Army of Iranian women garbed in the Black Chador? Incoming Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu is pitched on the former, of course, with disastrous consequences; but Barack Obama has to concentrate on the latter. It is time to Americanize the country. He should not repeat the mantra “ unclenching the fist” but “ disrobing the chador”. A westernised Persia is a safety valve for America. Barack Obama has to move in that direction faster.

Women’s Revenge by Star Algol

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

A woman is raped every two minutes in the United States. About 68% time the perpetrator is already known to her. About 25% time the crime takes place in public area just under the nose of public authorities. Sadly, only 25% of the rape incidents are reported to the Police. The victims fear reprisal from men or social stigma in reporting rape incidents to the Police. Some consider it as personal issue and many fear the cost of inquiry and subsequent litigation will do more harm than the rape itself. So increasingly women resort to get equal with the perpetrators in vengeful manner. But their efforts are giving more negative results than expected. In this blog post let me describe the reasons for women taking revenge, the types of women’s revenge and how the women can make it positive by receiving necessary cosmics from the Star Algol, the eternal symbol of women’s revenge.

Women are Wronged

The following are instances how women are wronged by the men folks:

1. Rape in number one

2. Men taking mean advantage in dating, but when it is time to take it to the next level they simply drop off

3. A love affair turning sour due to no fault of women

4. Men cheating on their wives habitually

5. Break-up of marriage with consequent mental pain and collateral losses

6. Daughters often neglected by parents

7. Overt and covert discrimination in colleges and in offices

What women are doing?

Women biologically and socially are not expected to take physical revenge. In Germany in 1890s there was an expression in vogue: “Schadenfeude” meaning harm & joy; it relates to gaining satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else’s misfortune or discomfiture. The society then and now rules that the men can take painful revenge either physically or otherwise. This leads women to have little space by taking limited actions which, broadly can be categorised under two captions: Negative and Neutral

Negative Responses by Women:

1. Psychological, where the women make men un-wanted or keep them at bay by not giving attention and speaking with them

2. Sexual, where women with certain types of Yoni (Vagina) such as Tiger or Monkey can shut out sex for husbands or boy friends. For fuller Details of Types of Yoni read my blog post clicking “ Types of Yoni for Sex and Marriage

3. Spiteful, where the women use hate mails and hoary gifts to get back at the offenders. Those who prefer this type of revenge can refer to web page http://www.thepayback.com/ for necessary guidance.

Neutral Responses by Women:

1. Peaceful, where they withdraw from social activities and roll themselves into cocoon shelves

2. Attempting to forget and sometimes forgive the offenders; in certain cases this might simply become negative because the offender is given further licence to repeat such offence to other women.

What women can do?

Women can take charge; turn the incident into a window of opportunity. Succeed so that the offender is ashamed. Nothing succeeds like success. The women can take in cosmic energy from the star Algol and go ahead and beat the offender in his own back yard. For example you are in career in marketing where the fellow marketer bargains for sexual pleasure for getting you through the sales goal. The star Algol will give you the cosmic power to tilt the table against this Casanova. Let me give you a brief of the Star Algol, its astronomy, legend and cosmics.

The Star Algol

Astronomy:

Modern astronomers call Algol as Beta (B) Persei, located in the Perseus Constellation. Originally considered as a double star Algol A & B was found to orbit each other. Algol A is the brighter one whereas Algol B is the dimmer one. When orbiting each other the less bright Algol B comes between Algol A and the Earth causing an eclipse. This is what we call as “blinking” This happens once every 3 days and lasts almost for eight (8) hours. During this time the brightness of the star Algol is reduced drastically. In the Nineteenth century this star was found to have another companion this time Algol C which orbits both Algol A & B. However, the third star does not interfere in the eclipse and related blinking phenomenon. Algol is 93 light years away and 95 times luminous than the Sun and nearly 3.5 times the size of the Sun. Arab astronomers called Algol by several names: Al-Gul (Ghoul), Algul (Mischief maker) and Ra’s Al-Gul (Holder of the Demon’s head).

Legend

Algol represents the blinking eye of the head of Gorgon Medusa one of the three Gordon sisters who later becomes the lover of the God Neptune. On hearing this Minerva the jealous wife of Neptune turns her beautiful lock of hair to that of hissing serpents. Such was the fearful countenance of Gordon Medusa, that anyone looks at her would be turned into stone. The legend says Perseus kills Gordon Medusa and takes her head in his left hand to battle with Cetus the Whale to save the beautiful maiden Andromeda. Perseus shows this head to Cetus; on seeing Medusa, Cetus is turned into a stone. After saving Andromeda Perseus drops the head of Gordon Medusa into the ocean. Aptly, the Greek hero Perseus is called as – Hamil Ra’s Al-Ghul -( Bearer of the Demon’s Head ) in Arabic.

Cosmics

The blinking phenomenon is treated with much caution. So much so Arab commanders would wait till this blinking phase to pass before even commencing battles. This star is powerful and potent as if the Gorgon Medusa is still alive. Moreover, it is very bright indeed during the time Algol A is seen fully on the earth. It gives hot and bright blue to white rays. However, the cosmic potency is very high when Algol starts blinking.

In Hebraic law, Algol represents the first and estranged wife of Adam, Lilith; who according to the tradition was turned into a demon. Algol is the eternal symbol of feminine energy known as “ kundalini”, passion of women, power of women and the revenge of women; four rolled into one. Though many critics decry the power as evil, I consider the star Algol as the symbol of women’s liberation. Her cosmic energy will empower women to get to the top of any situation. Such power, however, has to be brought into mind and body. The procedure to imbibe the cosmic energy into your mind and body is explained next.

Cosmic Energy Procedure

1. Find out the time of blinking by observing the star, or consulting with a local astronomer regarding the time of its blinking

2. Once every three days look at the sky; point to the star Algol and view it for few minutes so that you are pitched direct to Algol

3. Raise your hands , bring the hands parallel to your chin; spread fingers like stretched palms; now bend your fingers of both hands inwards as if to represent Tiger’s Paws

4. As you bend the fingers inhale slowly emptying your lower abdomen and driving the air into the lungs; as you progress you will be able to make lower abdomen almost flat. When this happens the Kundalini ( female) energy is awakened and rises up

5. You should incant statements such as “ I do best “ or “ I succeed” or “ I make better of life” . If you are unable to vocalize it say the incantation with lower tone

6. Hold your breath for few seconds

7. Exhale slowly synchronizing it with the straightening of fingers so that it would appear once again like stretched palms

George Clooney, Marriage and Politics on His Way

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

(Originally written on  Monday March 16, 2009)

Celebrity super star George Clooney is the Hollywood heart-throb. He is seen by his millions of fans, most of them women, and the public at large as an actor, super-star, film producer, writer and a consummate person when it comes to the frills of enjoying life. He is described as the most eligible bachelor. Many consider him sexiest too. His grin showing the upper row of teeth with lower lips covering the bottom row of teeth drive women crazy; it gives a sensational feeling in their spine, something to be adorned forever. But, behind this grin there lies a yearning to make it very big in life and politics. Let me give you a broad brush-stroke of the transformation of the celebrity George Clooney and the related cosmics.

Lunation Cycle

He was born on May 6, 1961 in Lexington, Kentucky, United Sates. At the time of his birth the Moon was in the Waxing Gibbous Phase of Lunation Cycle. The cosmics of a person born under this phase of lunation cycle is given below. Please note that, this description is prepared and published as a general guide and will not convey the entire personality of anyone.

He is a land-lubber, that is neither he moves nor be swayed to accept reality. But when it comes to sway others he will do better. If he is not controlled he will bring the entire roof down. He is good at marketing, advertisement and selling ice to Eskimos. His mind power is such that he can break any issue into small parts and then join these to resolve. Jig-saw puzzle appeals to him. He has the capacity to reflect and report on any event; something like a trouble shooter. Negatives are: He is resistant to change and he simply does not like others pushing him around. At some critical moment he may suddenly give up”.

For fuller description of Lunation Cycle you can read my blog post clicking  “ Lunation Cycle: How the Eight Lunar Phases affects you?

Ideas

From the published sources I have found that the following are ideas that governed him:

1. A private person; guarding his privacy more than anything he is not prepared to share it with anybody; does not like having children; fears that if he marries he would be “tied-up”. Look at his quote” I don’t like to share my personal life… it wouldn’t be personal if I shared it”

2. But something prods him to go higher from the silver screen to national administration. Look at his quote “You have only a short period of time in your life to make your mark, and I’m there now”

3. But then he was re-assuring himself he would not get out of his declared policy on privacy by running for public office. Look at his quote “Run for office? No. I’ve slept with too many women, I’ve done too many drugs, and I’ve been to too many parties”

4. Again the cosmics behind him propels to make it big. Look at this quote” The only failure is not to try”

Courtesy: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/g/george_clooney.html

Birth Chart

His birth chart on the basis of astronomical position indicates the following:

1. At the time of his birth the Moon sights the planet Saturn, which becomes his Lucky Star. In turn Saturn sights a powerful star cluster known as “75 Globular” a vast cluster of almost 130 light years in diameter, standing some 67,500 light years away from the earth with a visual magnitude of 8.5. This cluster is about 180,000 times brighter than the Sun. Due to the massive nature of the cluster Saturn sighting this Cluster indicates that George Clooney is earmarked by the heavens for high political office.

2. The Royal Stars of Regulus, Antares, Fomalhaut and Aldebaran dealing with political high office are located in very advantageous positions.

3. A strong Jupiter giving wealth and happy marriage is posited in the second house and sights the stars Pi and Rho in the Capricorn constellation.

4. The star Sirius is located in the 7th house making his first marriage a failure; beyond that it cannot do any damage.

Transformation

On January 24, 2009 a great transformation took place in the chart of George Clooney. It is the Jupiter- Sun Conjunction. The conjunction took place in-between two stars Pi and Rho stars in the Capricorn constellation. Both stars are considered to be a good pair. As the conjunction takes place in a very auspicious location of the “ pair” , that is two stars that are considered showering great gifts to George Clooney , he for the first time has got the chance to make successful entry into both married life and in national level politics. For fuller Description of the Jumpier- Sun conjunction you can read my blog post clicking “ Jupiter – Sun Conjunction in January 2009 ”.

His transformation is indicated in two ways:

Firstly, the reported rumour of linking George Clooney with Fatima Bhutto. That is only the beginning. He will suddenly give up his declared policy of privacy and buries his head in the bosom of a lovely maiden, of course much younger in age. This is an indication for marriage.

Secondly, his choice of the Darfur trip which he made with his Dad in 2006 to report on the Genocide taking place there over attending the Academy Awards ceremony. This is an indication of his political suaveness.

Who can facilitate his transformation into both these areas? Surprisingly this mega star has to talk to his dad, Nick Clooney to find the right partner for him in marriage and the right mentor for him in politics. Both these would happen between now and early 2010. Who will deny this chance to George Clooney who has the mettle to become a happy husband and the Future President of the United States of America?

Types of Yoni for Sex and Marriage

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Marriages are made in heaven, so say the scriptures. But why marriages made with much fanfare are failing. Though this gives plenty of business opportunities to marriage counsellors, the society at large is losing. The fundamental issue for any marriages to work is the physical relationship parties have with each other. This relationship in common parlance is known as sex; happy and rewarding sex leads to happy life. What determines happy and rewarding sex? For a man it is all about the Yoni. Let me describe the Twelve Types of Yoni and the related cosmics, so that you can improve your sex, marriage and lifestyle. Before that, let me give you a brief introduction.

Brief Introduction

1. In this blog post I am describing the Twelve Types of Yoni in general terms. Each Yoni is given a name of an animal for easy identification. So far as possible I have given the feminine name of the identity within brackets as well. I am not masochistic for writing about yoni from the point of view of men. I believe that both women and men would benefit from this blog post

2. The word “Yoni” is of Sanskrit origin; It relates to the female organ known as vagina; the male organ penis is referred to as “ Lingam”

3. The Size of Yoni does not matter at all

4. The type of yoni is determined by how the Moon is placed in the sky at the time of your birth. I consider, Lunation Cycle, Moon Mansions known in Arabic as” Manzils”, and the Constellation in which the Moon is located at the time of your birth for this purpose. If you wish to know more about Lunation Cycle you can read my blog post “ Lunation Cycle: How the Eight Lunar Phases affect you?

Types of Yoni

1. Elephant (cow):- Very chaste with occasional but strong sex performance. Generally considers sex as moral duty or love or for procreation. Sexual pleasure is secondary consideration. Takes longer tome for preparation and for penetration. But when on the job, the Yoni enthrals the lingam for long time. Body Elements: Earth & Air ; Yoni Features: soft opening, wide passage & deep base

2. Camel (cow):- Appearance can be misleading for this type. Looks like not interested in sex but in fact has very strong sex urge and performance. Sometimes experiences dual orgasm like a camel’s humps. Dual cosmics also at play; either yoni takes cosmic energy during hot environment and performs sex during cold time or takes in cosmic energy during cold environment and performs sex during hot time. Let us call this summer – winter syndrome. Takes longer time to satiate this yoni and the lingam must be aptly suitable. During sex little vocalization (talking). Body Elements : Earth & Water; Yoni Features : soft opening, wide passage & shallow base

3. Horse (Mare):- Legendary symbol of sex that flies you to heaven; Very strong sex urge and performance; very active during spring and summer when the days are longer than night. Not to despair it can continue during fall and winter as well provided the lingam can stand. A dominant mare with a pliant man make the most satisfying and rewarding sexual partners; here the mare initiates, signals and showers with pats and kisses so that the man is excited. Due to high libido levels the mare will expect longer play. Unfortunately, most men cannot manage a mare. Body Element : Air; Yoni Features : soft opening, narrow passage & deep base

4. Tiger (tigress):- If you like strong and ferocious sex then it is the tigress; though ready round the year the tigress initially takes ages to get into high libido. Some by 24 years and many others do so by 32 years of age. Thereafter, sex urge never falters; might lasts for 3 to 4 decades. Sex performance on each occasion extend to more than an hour for a number of days with breaks in between to allow for illness, menses or pregnancy. Lot of purring but little talking during copulation; uses nails and toes to prod the male. If the lingam is responding well tigress makes him happy ad it is sweet, scented sex for the male; if not sex is shut down and the male is made to suffer. In the latter case yoni will actively search for fresh lingams or at-least fantasize about alternate males; sometimes tigress hint at this by talking about a mutual friend and about his lingam during sex. Body Element: Fire; Yoni Features: tight opening, wide passage & deep base.

5. Ox (cow):- So you want a dutiful wife then select this yoni. Preferring strong males this yoni gives in cajoling the partner and making sex vey sweet for him. If the males are not strong, the cow does not complain. On average sex is sparse, but when on the job cow goes for a long sit-in. Prefers orthodox manner of having sex and in silent nights. Oh milk is oozing. Body Element : Water ; Yoni Features : tight opening, wide passage & shallow base

6. Dog (bitch):- The name tells you what it is all about. It never lets go once the man is with her both in sex and in life. You are tied to her forgetting your roots and relations. Your lingam is completely swallowed and covered by the bitch yoni during sex that you cannot easily extricate after ejaculation. If you attempt to do so, you get a slap. Sex is very high and can reach zenith during hot summer. If lingam can match with yoni, the yoni fights for you, protects you and guards you. If lingam cannot match bitch yoni, it is tragedy. Yoni will go for alternate partners and will not hide that fact from you. In the case of bitch yoni she has dual opening features. The opening of the yoni is soft at the commencement of sex, but once the lingam is sauntered inside the opening contracts and tightens. Body Element: Earth; Yoni Features: soft & tight opening, narrow passage & deep base.

7. Deer (doe):- Oh dear hunter, you got your perfect and prized catch: Faithful house-wife and a yoni that gives you pleasure. After the mare deer is the most sought after yoni. She neither bothers you about sex nor complains about your performance. To top it all she does not worry even if you go out with other yoni. Deer suppresses her sex urge for your benefit or for the family benefit. However, if you wants sex she is ready at all seasons; she can do both in mornings and evenings; she never fails to make you ecstatic and happy throughout your life. Body Element: Spirit; Yoni Features: soft opening, narrow passage & deep base.

8. Cat (tabby):- Requires longer foreplay for which most men are ill-prepared. Penetration, however, is spottier. Tabby wants lingam to be withdrawn and again inserted several times during copulation, because orgasm takes long time to be reached. Tabby wishes the partner to caress and holds her by the neck; lot of soft tone talking from tabby to keep lingam attentive. But release of orgasm is very painful to tabby; sometimes she might bite the male without much harm. In many cases, men cannot have the patience to go along and ejaculate faster. In that event tabby douches her yoni with water to cool down her anger and frustration. An interesting feature I have observed is tabby sometimes has fear of the real cats. This is known medically as “Ailurophobia”. Body Elements: Fire & Earth; Yoni Features: soft opening, narrow passage & shallow base.

9. Snake: – Un-obtrusive but faithful sex partner; duration ranges less than an hour to about 2 to 3 hours at a stretch. Like tabby snake wants more foreplay by curling and twisting around the partner. Often snake raises the legs to allow lingam to go inside or prefers penetration from behind, yoni facing the bed or other rest. This method makes yoni to reach orgasm easily, but after taking quite a while. Partners who do not get thrills having sex from behind, may feel very tired after ejaculation. Quite some training is necessary to change position and make both yoni and lingam happy. Unlike the tabby, snake would not allow lingam to be withdrawn once inside. Most men would feel why they do not have two lingams. Body Elements: Fire & Air; Yoni Features: tight opening, narrow passage & deep base.

10. Monkey: – Monkey yoni wants to be the dominant partner, otherwise whole hell will break down. Monkey needs mollycoddling, pleading by lingam for sex, lot of gifts and favours not to mention praise. Monkey needs care and caressing more than any yoni. If the male is willing partner, then monkey gives most satisfying and ecstatic sex. Generally the sex act will be shorter but much happier for both. If the male does not play by the rules then monkey will shut-out sex for lingam giving an excuse of the care & welfare of family and children. Monkey also shows off her potency and that of lingam, by behaving in like manner in society, something like an exhibitionist. Body Elements : Fire & Spirit ; Yoni Features : tight opening, wide passage & deep base

11. Hare (Jill):- Yoni for all seasons; generally prefers nocturnal copulation with lot of pillow fighting. Jill is not limited to bed; it jumps, leaps and flies; ready to make sex in different postures and places. Both yoni and lingam must have equal aggressiveness for happy sex. One party’s low libido level can mar satisfaction. Despite all the hullabaloo the actual penetration and subsequent orgasm is much shorter. Body Elements : Air & Water ; Yoni Features : soft opening, wide passage & shallow base

12. Rat (doe):- Unlike dogs, rats do not like partners lingering around after copulation. Rat yoni is ready to have more sex little while later with same or another lingam. Rat likes to have sex anytime and has great cunning in selecting places and postures. So much so rat can have sex in the presence of children without them ever knowing what the parents are up to. You see rats all over in parks, in cinemas and in places you generally do not have the courage to make it a go. If the lingam is dominant over yoni, she selects the same lingam otherwise opts for another. Social mores are thrown into the wind by rat. Body Elements: Air & Spirit; Yoni Features: soft opening, narrow passage & shallow base.

Aishwarya Rai, Legs are Risk Assets

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

(Originally written on Blogspot on Sunday March 8, 2009)

Celebrity actress Aishwarya Rai is the highest paid female artist in the Hindi cinema world known as “Bollywood” in its long history. This 35 year old super star is one of the most searched people in the internet thanks to her millions of fans spread wide across the globe. Her way of handling people of different walk of life with a bewitching smile and clear vocal tone accompanied with innocent splutter of laughter contributes to her immense popularity. Featured in many films and commercials this star epitomizes India’s culture and at the same time acts as a beauty ambassador for her country. What makes her tick? Most fans and critics point out to her greenish-bluish eyes. Recently she was voted by United States TV as an actress with the sexiest eyes. Lot of others count her legs as sexiest too. Undoubtedly, both her eyes and legs are her main assets. The question is which her risk assets are. For the moment we can leave her eyes aside. What would happen to her slender and succulent legs? This blog post looks at this query: I describe snippets of Aishwarya Rai and establish her legs as the main risk assets by looking at the astronomy and cosmics of her stars.

Bio Snippets

Born on November 1, 1973 in Mangalore, Karnataka, India, Aishwarya Rai was trained as a classical dancer and wished to become an architect. Like many others who shared her birthday of November 1 she finally got into the entertainment industry. Her compatriots with the same birth day include: Bo Bice – singer; Scott Chapman – musician ; Logan Green & Penn Badgley – actors ; Manju Warrier & Natalia Tena – actress ; Yuko Ogura – model.

She walked on the romp of Femina Miss India Contest in 1994 and tripped but went on to win the coveted title. Later in the same year she walked more confidently in the Miss World Pageant and won the title too, the second Indian to do so. This double crown brought her to the notice of cinema industry. The first to cast her as a film personality was the innovative director Mani Ratnam. His film “Iruvar” (1997), a parody of Tamilnadu (South Indian State) politics showed Aishwarya a slender star in the silver screen. She went across to the Hindi cinema world of Bollywood in 1999 and starred in several films. She has acted in Hindi, Tamil, Bengali and English films numbering more than forty. Devdas, Dhoom, Jodha Akbar and the latest Pink Panther 2 are some of the well known titles.

In 2004 the Time magazine included her credentials in“100 Most Influential People”. She entered into the house of fame when her wax figure was unveiled in the London Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in 2004. She was voted as the 9th beautiful women in the Harpers List. De Beers the diamond giant commissioned her for their Nakshathra Diamond series. She has won several honours in the film industry both in India and abroad. She married Abhishek Batchan , some three years younger to her in a glittering but private marriage ceremony in April 2007.

In one of the interviews she said “since the age of thirteen, I have got always attention, which at times has been un-warranted”. True enough her eyes and more than that her walk and gait attracted lot of attention. This is because the centre of her cosmic energy is located in her legs. Therefore, her legs are the main assets that make her successful and earn lot of income; at the same time these are risk assets too.

Risk Assets

In the financial jargon, risk assets are “assets that are used in a business to generate higher levels of income”. Such assets are looked after with caution and care, because these are subjected to a great deal of risk. One type of risk is the diminution of value of the assets, another risk is the reduction of its earning streams, but the greatest risk is the total loss of the assets. Like in finance, human beings also have assets that give value for them and enhance their earning capacity. Human beings also run the same risk of diminution of value, reduction of income and total loss of the assets.

Now let me give you a brief of the main stars that generate cosmic energy to Aishwarya Rai and the risks she is faced with.

Review of Stars

1. Tejat Posterior

Astronomy: Astronomical name for this star is Mu Gemini, located in Gemini constellation. It is the Fourth brightest star in the Gemini constellation. This star is a binary (double) star. It exudes reddish rays and has a visual magnitude of 3.2 degree. It is 232 light years away and almost 125 times luminous than Sun and about 104 times the size of the Sun. It is a red giant and can be seen in the Northern sky on any clear day especially during spring and summer, Tejat heralds Sun’s early days in the northern summer. A feature of the star is its variability in terms of brightness; for every 27 days it loses almost 20% of its brightness and then comes back to normal.

Cosmics: The Arabic word “Tejat” refers to something “unknown”. Another meaning assigned to this name is “ back foot”. It is located in the left ankle of the Northern Twin Castor. This star gives her tact and knowledge and a sense of forecasting future and take care of it. It gives her artistic talent in dance and music and pushes her into film or entertainment industry or fashions. It also gets her business partnership in these areas. Her cosmic energy would be in the ebb once in 27 days. At this moment the left ankle is weak and tends to break. There is double whammy. Saturn was sighting this star at the time of her birth.

2. Khambalia

Astronomy: Astronomical name for this star is Lambda Virgo; it is located in the Virgo constellation. A binary star like Tejat Posterior, it exudes white rays and has a visual magnitude of 4.5 degree. It is about 187 light years away. The companion star orbits Khambalia once in 206 days. It is a white luminous giant.

Cosmics: The star Khamabalia is located at the left foot of the Virgin close to the toe. “Khambalia”, is a Coptic word meaning “crooked & clawed”. This star refers to a limb that crooks and clawed. In Arabic the word “Khamsa” refers to five or a pentagram as well. Generally it refers to the five toes of a foot. This star gives immense inner power; makes her pirouette on her toes in any dancing sequence. It also gives her the power to walk in style. Since Sun was sighting this star at the time of her birth she would turn out to be an excellent dancer for which convincing evidence is seen in her films where dancing scenes show her in the best of her elements. The star also gives immense income from her profession. The risk of breaking the toes is ever so present.

3. Imad :

Astronomy: Astronomical name for this star is Theta Ophiuchus and located in the most southern part of the Ophiuchus constellation. Generally we consider the Ophiuchus as the thirteenth zodiacal constellation . This bright star is a class B Blue-white sub-giant exuding great deal of blue colour. It has a visual magnitude of 3.3 degree. It is 560 light years away and almost 11,500 times luminous than Sun but as regards to size it is just about 7 times the size of the Sun. The star is noted for high degree of pulsation.

Cosmics: Imad is located at the right foot of the Ophiuchus who is also known as snake handler. The Arabic word “Imad” means a pillar. Another word used for this star is “Kaki” meaning lower leg. The star gives Aishwarya Rai a great deal of manoeuvrability in her right leg. Venus is sighting this star at the time of her birth. Hence, it also gives artistic ability in the use of right leg. Her right leg is like sugar cane with plenty of succulence. Not only that, she has cosmic power for curing those who suffer from arthritic ailments by gentle massage with her right leg. Time to come this feature would be at the end of its tether, whereupon she would experience listless feeling or numbness in her right leg.

Gems for Menarche or Puberty

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

The first time when menstruation takes place is referred to as “Menarche” in medical parlance and “Puberty” in popular language. To understand the subject of menstruation we need to study Menarche, Premenstrual syndrome, Menstrual Disorders and Menopause. I have already written about the second and third topics in earlier blog posts. You can read about these by clicking “Gems for Premenstrual Syndrome” and “Gems and Cosmics for Menstrual Disorders”. All these topics are invariably linked to lunation cycle. In this blog post let me give you a Ready Reckoner of Gems & Crystals for Menarche or Puberty.

How to use the Ready Reckoner?

Record the time and date when the flow of menses takes place for the first time. Thereafter, find out the lunar day for this time and date. I must explain to you that lunar day and solar day are not equal. Lunar days vary in duration, some days less than 24 hours and other days more than 24 hours. You can check the lunar day in any astronomical lunar day calculators freely available in the Internet. It would be better to check the one that gives you the lunar day in decimals. A lunar day falls into one of the eight phases in the Lunation Cycle. These phases are also known as “moon phases”. The eight phases are: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter and waning crescent. The last one is also known as “balsamic moon”. Each lunar phase has different cosmic vibration. You can read about these in my blog post “ Lunation Cycle: How the Eight Lunar Phases affect you?

My advice is that you use an astronomical software to find out the lunar day rather than ticking off lunar phases (moon phases) given in any astrological software. Since lunar day is an astronomical event it would be better to check with an astronomical lunar day calculator. Once you know the lunar date check the Ready Reckoner to find out the lunar phase and the suitable Gems & Crystals for you.

Ready Reckoner

New Moon: This phase lasts from 0 day to 2.4 days

Gems & Crystals Recommended: Blue Aventurine or Blue-lace agate

Waxing Crescent: This phase lasts from 2.4 days to 7.4 days

Gems & Crystals Recommended: Green Jade or Green Garnet (Uvarovite/Demantoid)

First Quarter: This phase lasts from 7.4 days to 11.1 days

Gems & Crystals Recommended: Tree Agate or Jet Crystal

Waxing Gibbous: This phase lasts from 11.1 days to 14.8 days

Gems & Crystals Recommended: Ametrine or Lemon topaz

Full Moon: This phase being the shortest lasts from 14.8 days to 16.2 days

Gems & Crystals Recommended: Fire agate or Fire opal

Waning Gibbous: This phase being the longest lasts from 16.2 days to 22.2 d

Gems & Crystals Recommended: Iolite or Almandite

Last Quarter: This phase lasts from 22.2 days to 25.9 days

Gems & Crystals Recommended: Amethyst or Azurite

Waning Crescent (Balsamic): This phase lasts from 25.9 to 29.6 days

Gems & Crystals Recommended: Rose quartz or Rhodolite (Rose garnet)

As the above is general recommendation to be followed on Menarche or Puberty, it is necessary to amend the recommendation to suit to individual circumstances because each person is born with different cosmic equilibrium. To do so it is necessary to prepare your cosmic profile. Once a cosmic profile is available specific recommendation could be made available.

Magical Birthday of Mariah Carey

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

(Originally written on Blogspot on Wednesday February 18, 2009)

“Butterflies are always following me, everywhere I go”, said Mariah Carey after her music album “Butterfly” was released in 1997. The best selling female vocalist of our time, more than 200 million albums sold for her credit, Mariah Carey has played multiple roles: singer, songwriter, record producer, actress and TV presenter. Her epitome came in 2008 when she surpassed legendary Elvis Presley into number one spot for her song “Touch my body” What endeared her to many? Her vocal range of octave 5 to 7 , her talent in singing diverse melody from ballads to hip-hop, her babe face look or her mixed background (her mother is Irish, her father is black Venezuelan). What is that keeps this Celebrity Diva going against all odds? The answer is simple; it is her magical birthday of March 27. In this blog post I give you a review of Mariah Carey & Cosmics surrounding her birthday of March 27.

Mariah Carey

Born on March, 27, 1970 in Huntington, Long Island, New York, Mariah Carey got into music after her graduation. She was just 18 when she started as a back-up singer in 1988. Thereafter, her career spanning some 21 years can be grouped into three phases:

Development phase: In 1989 she met Tommy Mottle and signed up with his Colombia Records. Her debut album “Mariah Carey” hit the market in 1990, followed by “Music Box” in 1993, “Merry Christmas” in 1994, “Daydream” in 1995” Butterfly” in 1997. Her hit song “I still Believe” was released in 1999. In the meantime she married Tommy Mottola in a celebrity wedding in 1993 whom she divorced in 1998.

Transition phase: In 2001 she left Columbia Records to join Virgin Records, a subsidiary of EMI , for a record US $ 100 million contract. But her first album under Virgin Record ” Glitter” was a failure and she fell overnight from her exalted position as a Diva. By this time she was hospitalized with complaints such as exhaustion. Later the rumours floated around her undergoing psychiatric treatment. Consequent to these developments EMI announced the buy-out of the remaining portion of the contract for U S $ 28 million landing a body punch on Mariah Carey. She did not give up; she redoubled her effort to get into the box seat once again.

Rejuvenation phase: In 2005 entire calculus changed. She is back on the top of the chart with her album “Emancipation of Mimi”. The hit song in that chart “We belong together” mesmerized her fans. Later she was nominated for 8 Grammy awards and won 3 of these. In 2006 she signed up with Pepsi for their TV commercials. In 2008 she bypassed the legendary Elvis Presley for the Number 1 spot with her single “Touch my body”. She has been featured in many TV shows and in the recent Obama inauguration. One of her performing photo is shown below:

Mariah Carey

http://www.popstarsplus.com/music_mariahcarey.htm#Bio

In her career she has made few statements that are noteworthy and show her inner structure:

Quote 1 It’s hard to be someone that people talk about and write about, you know? They don’t know me.

Quote 2 I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn’t really fit in anywhere.

Quote 3 I hope to be around past the 90’s. I don’t want to just be categorized as one of this era. My goal is to have a career that stands.

Quote 4 In this world, I call the shots and I think I know best.

You realize that she is talking about fear, anxiety, sense of not belonging, and determination to make it; she also hints at something magical that keep her going and to bounce back from calamities. You got it; it is her birthday of March 27.

Birthday March 27

Every year on March 27, something unusual happens in the Sky. At this time the Sun is traversing the constellation Pisces. The Sun enters the Pisces on March 11 and stays there till April 18. On March 27 it breaks new ground by parking into the constellation Cetus. What happens is half of the Sun’s disk is in Cetus constellation and half of the Sun’s disk is still in the Pisces constellation. This unique process lasts almost 18 hours in that day.

Many celebrities and historical figures share this birthday with Mariah Carey. Some of them are: Actress Gloria Swanson ; Actor Richard Denning; British politician Nick Hawkins ; U S politician Cyrus Vance; British Prime Minister James Callaghan; German Historian Golo Mann; British automobile pioneer Sir Henry Royce and King of France Louis the Seventeen.

Cetus Constellation

Whoever born on this date has two Sun signs: Pisces and Cetus. They receive the cosmics from both these constellations. Pisces is well known as a constellation. Let me say few things about Cetus constellation. The word Cetus comes from Latin, meaning a whale. Legend says that Cetus is a sea monster who is travelling towards Andromeda, the virgin who is chained to the rock to be devoured by Cetus. Therefore, it starts moving from Eridanaus where he usually resides bypassing the Pisces to reach Andromeda. Before Cetus can complete his task, Perseus the hero appears. He has in his hand the Head of Gordon Medusa. Perseus shows this head to Cetus; on seeing Medusa, Cetus is turned into a stone. There the sea monster lies eternally. This constellation has several notable stars: Deneb Kaitos, Menkar , Baton Kaitos, Al Kaf Al Jidhmah, Deneb and Mira.

Cosmics

Both Pisces & Cetus together provide Mariah Carey with dual strength; it is something like twin engine aeroplane; when one engine stops the other starts. These two constellations give Mariah Carey a sense of being evergreen, a feeling of renewal, and lot of cosmic energy related to sex & survival; these constellations make her a person of religious belief; person of wisdom & perseverance; person with a fascinating and lavish life-style. Determination to reach the zenith is her main driving force. She is pushed to work hard and her work is appreciated globally. Millions benefit by listening to her song. Her work contributes to the lively hood of sundry. Mariah Carey has special gift and talent: octave voice and fascinating beauty.

There are negatives as well: she becomes a part of a Cult, a Diva, quite some fan clubs, films about her not to forget the gossip columns. She will have craving for popularity and if she does not get it she can be psychologically affected. She needs care and attention more than average women. Fear, anxiety and sense of not belonging would continue to mar her progress. Moreover, her compulsiveness & moodiness would drive away friends and colleagues. Consequences of any hasty decision would take lot of time to turn around. More than that she lacks vital salt in her system causing physical exhaustion.

Mars – Jupiter Conjunction February 2009

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

(Originally written on Tuesday, February 17, 2009)

President Barack Obama signed the U S Dollar 787 Billion Economic Stimulus Package into law with the official title “the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act” on Tuesday February 17, 2009 in Denver Colorado. He called this law “the most sweeping economic recovery package in our history.” The legislation will save or create 3.5 million jobs. There has been intense debate about the Package in the television and newspapers before it became a law. Will it succeed? What happens if it fails to deliver? Where is the B plan if the package fails? These questions kept propping up in the discussion. You saw eminent economists, financial experts expressing their doubts about this plan.

What do the Cosmos says? Nobody asked this question. What is magical about the number 787 in this package? As Barack Obama signed the Plan into law something happened in the sky. That is, Mars Conjuncts Jupiter at that moment. At 9.30 a.m. UTC/GMT on Tuesday February 17, these two celestial bodies came so close for the pleasure of all viewers on earth. In this blog post, let me give you a brief note on the Mars – Jupiter Conjunction, mystical feature of Denver Colorado, the Number 787 and Cosmics regarding the success of this plan.

Positional Astronomy

1. The conjunction took place in between two stars Upsilon Capricorni and Eta Capricorni both in the Capricornus constellation. This constellation is historically depicted as a Sea –Goat. On the celestial sphere the conjunction took place at Right Ascension (RA) 20.82 hours. At this point Jupiter is at Declination 18.04 south and Mars at Declination 18.56 south. To put it another way Mars is 33 minute below or south of Jupiter.

2. Mars entered the Capricornus constellation on February 3, whereas Jupiter is already there from January 4. After this conjunction, Mars would leave the constellation on March 11, while Jupiter continues its stay till early February 2010.

3. The previous Mars – Jupiter conjunction took place on December 2006; the next is due May 2011

4. Simultaneously, the Moon, which is on 22.5 days old, has just entered the Sagittarius constellation whose occult ownership is ascribed to Jupiter. Moreover, on this date the Moon is in the 19th Arabic Manzil (Lunar Mansion) of Al-Shaula, a fortunate and auspicious time to make new beginning or planting new trees. It also symbolizes pumping of air.

Capricornus Constellation

This conjunction took place in the mane of the sea-goat Capricorn. Originated from Babylonia the sea- goat personifies” EA” or “ENKI”, the God who educates and rewards; god of intelligence and intuition. EA often appears on earth pre-warning calamities and educating how to save from these. In one instance EA has taught people to make an ark during a deluge. God Ea can be compared with God Osiris in Egyptian mythology – a do-gooder and educator. You can read about Capricornus constellation in my blog post “Jupiter- Sun Conjunction in January 2009.

Denver, Colorado

The Colorado state is located south west from the central point (meridian) of United States. South-west is the cosmic direction for Barack Obama.

The Number 787

This number springs the picture of Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a passenger aircraft of novel design and master craftsmanship, made from brittle carbon compounds rather than flexible aluminium. It is the most fuel-efficient passenger plane. Though many were sounding about the safety of the design, it became the most successful project in Boeing’s history. So far 895 planes are in the order book. Now the stimulus package comes with the same figure of 787 Billion U S Dollars. What this number signify? It stands for the Arabic prayer “Bismillah –ir – Rahman- ir- Raheem”, which means “I begin In the name of God, the Beneficent, and the Merciful”. So anything done invoking the name of God receives the blessing of the Lord.

Cosmics

This stimulus package will succeed’; there in not an iota of doubt about that. The following are in support of my cosmic conclusion:

1. The signing of the Law coincides with Mars- Jupiter conjunction, where Mars represent energy and enthusiasm while Jupiter represents willingness and capacity

2. Mars and Jupiter put together, you get the energy and willingness to give a big try, make it succeed, assert power, ready for action , implement plans, do everything possible to alter the event. Succinctly, you can reverse the financial recession

3. But Mars and Jupiter together mean lot of hard work, you are not going to get it over the plate; you have to find ways and means of doing your actions. You have to start low and go up gradually.

4. Mars and Jupiter together is creative power; there are jobs to be saved or created; the ambitious plan need to be put in action with this as a major goal

5. The conjunction taking place in Capricornus constellation indicates that there is intervention by God through Barack Obama, modern day God Enki. It is great victory for a man who is in office less than a month. It is also a great victory for the world, because this will lead many nations to unveil their stimulus plan and already some of these are operational

6. The Moon in the Arabic Manzil (Lunar Mansion) of Al-Shaula is indeed very rewarding; it heralds the time for a new beginning; besides this the time you have to pump air. A good coincidence, because the economy needs lot of air to be pumped into. Besides, Moon in Sagittarius, just –in-time is another plus point.

7. Denver, Colorado in the south-western region fits rightly in the Obama administration, because for Barack Obama, this direction to start his Big Bang in his career as President is very auspicious.

8. The mystical feature of number 787 showers more grace than anything else. The U S Dollar 787 Billion may be a small and inadequate figure for the current financial hole. But the number is precise, the setting is excellent, the action is sincere, and the result will be marvellous.

Alnilam: The Fabulous Star of Discipline, Standard & Honour

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

You are fascinated by the star Alnilam located in the buckle of the Belt of Orion. Looking overhead in early night you see without even a telescope the blue-white star in its splendid glory. “I am honoured; what a great star“you muse to yourself. A sense of elation runs through your spine. “I hope, I have something to do with this star” mulling this thought you turn your head once again to see Alnilam. Now you see the star and the surrounding nebulae bathed in blue-white colour. You remain spellbound. In this blog post, I give you a brief of Alnilam: its Legend, Astronomy and Cosmics along with a Sketch of this great star in your chart.

Legend

Alnilam is located in the middle of three stars that form the Belt of Orion. From west to east, these stars are Mintaka, Alnilam and Alnitak. Out of the three stars Alnilam is most brilliant. It was called the buckle of the belt, something that tightens and at the same time gives an aura of iron discipline. Though loosely translated as “string of pearls” the word Alnilam comes from Arabic “nilam” which means order, arrangement, discipline, honour, being exalted. It is also used to imply authority. The Turks used it to mean governor or vizier. In India the erstwhile rulers of Hyderabad are Nizams. So much is that a person who receives honour in any undertaking is generally described as Nizam. Our star Alnilam had another name given by Arabs; “Alnasak” which means “the line”, referring to the celestial line drawn through the star that links Aldebaran to the north- west and Sirius to the south-east. This line was also considered as authority and standard. Traditions state that many kings wore their jewels in the centre of their crown or following the steps of Alnilam in the centre of their belt.

The belt of Orion consisting the three stars is an asterism itself that is a sub-group within a constellation. Different cultures had different names for this asterism: in Latin America it is “three Marys” reflecting on the trinity of Holy Mary; in the middle-east it is “three magi” who were the first to bless Infant Jesus; Chinese meant it as a beam while Arabs took it as a scale or standard.

The constellation Orion is called Hunter or Giant. The latter was chosen by Al-Sufi, 10th century Persian-Arab astronomer when he drew the constellation and the star Alnilam. Orion was so tall that he can wade through the oceans. Blinded by his father, Orion looked at the Sun and regained this eye-sight. He fell in love with Aurora, the goddess of Dawn and eventually was killed by Scorpio. Orion marks all four seasons in the sky. Orion also said to mitigate the coldness of winter.

Astronomy

Alnilam is astronomically referred to as epsilon Orionis; it is classified as B01a spectral class, which means blue-white very bright supergiant. It is a star of second magnitude in brightness with 1.7 visual magnitude. Alnilam is 30th brightest star in the sky and 4th brightest in the Orion constellation. It is located in Right Ascension 5.60 hrs and Declination of 1.20 degree south. It is seen throughout the year. A solitary star with surface temperature of 25,000 kelvin, its intense radiation makes the surrounding molecular nebulae (NGC 1990) glow in bright blue bath. See the image below:

ngc1990

http://www.astrophotos.net/images/nebula/ngc1990.jpg

Alnilam is 1,300 light years away and about 37,500 times luminous than the Sun and about 40 times the size of the Sun. The star is just below the celestial equator and both luminaries Sun & Moon have occasions to come in straight line perpendicular to the star. On June 19 every year Sun gets into Orion constellation within 2 to 3 degrees and forms a straight line to Alnilam towards the southern direction. Alnilam is moving away from us at a speed of 16.5 miles per second. Like all super giants Alnilam is shedding its mass mostly due to the stellar winds lashing the star at 1,250 miles per second, much more than the speed of the solar winds. Time to come, Alnilam would transform into a red supergiant, in that case, it would be brighter than Betelgeuse, and thus become the number 1 brightest star in Orion Constellation.

Alnilam’s features as solitary star with simple structure and its central position in the belt of Orion and the Orion constellation as a whole has made it a standard in astronomy. Alnilam is used for celestial navigation and to mark position of other stars. Moreover, its brilliant blue colour has made the star an object of study among many astronomers and occultists.

Cosmics

Cosmically Alnilam means three things woven together. Discipline, Standard and Honour; no wonder the phrase “string of pearls“was applied to Alnilam. On the positive side Alnilam gives you unshakable confidence in what you do; makes you an orderly and methodical person; showers you with prosperity and pleasant life; grants you honour in every undertaking you do; finally transforms you as a dignified and exalted person in the eye of friends and enemies alike. Equally important are the negative comics: with success and honour you lose your head; throw away the standard; you are now an arrogant zealot; your piety has taken the back seat. This is how you fall. Not only that you can be caught in a web of deceit or conspiracy like Julius Caesar; sometimes you may be poisoned like Hamlet’s father. Take care. Alnilam is all about discipline, standard and honour; if you take one pearl out the string breaks and you go down the sink.

Symbology equates Alnilam as a line drawn west to east slanting down; it is well supported by the Hebrew letter Aleph implying upright and exaltation; standard and honour. In meteorology Alnilam is for all seasons; if the star and the surrounding nebulae becomes duller in brightness it signifies rain and wind. All blue colour gems & crystals are recommended generally; specific colour tone depends on the star’s position in your chart. Alnilam has positive resonant with the numbers 1, 2 & 3.

Find Your Cosmic Number Combination

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Numbers define the relationship between you and the cosmos. These numbers display cosmics and act as communication channels as well. You and I have a combination of cosmic numbers. There are three numbers in a combination. First one relates to your body, second relates to your mind and the last one relates to your soul. In this blog post I explain the Cosmic Number Combination and how to find this.

Body Number

This number relates to your body. We derive this number from the Sun You can easily find this number by checking the calendar date in which you are born. Here we just take the date of birth only; we do not add month and year. For example If you are born on 12 you take is as 3; if you are born on 7 you take it as 7; if you are born on 22 you take it as 4. Please note once again that we do not add month and year for this calculation. This number ranges from 1 to 9.

Mind Number

This number relates to your mind. We derive this number from the Moon. You can easily find this number by checking your date of birth with lunar day calculators freely available in the Internet. This date is given from 0 to 29 or 30 days. As the Moon takes 29.5 days for its orbit around the Earth, it is customary to have alternate months of 29 and 30 days respectively. Most lunar day calculators give decimals as well. For example if your lunar date is 0.3 take it as zero; if your lunar date is 15 take it as 6; if you lunar date is 19.5 take it as 19. You must always ignore the decimals. Therefore, your lunar number ranges from 0 to 29 or 30 as the month may be.

Soul Number

This number relates to your soul. However, it is not easy to find your soul number. One way is to go on a trial and error basis. Another way is to meditate and find your number. The easy way is to consult someone who can find it for you. This number ranges from 1 to 9.

Once you have found the cosmic number combination, you can visit my blog post “Cosmic Numbers” to understand about you. For example, if your cosmic number combination is 1-0-3, that is 1 for body, zero for mind and 3 for soul, then you are a person with immense quality of leadership; in perfect control over what is happening around you and take charge of the situation. You will have the financial and physical backing to achieve your goals. Barring few incidents you will have no upheaval in your life. You have a united family supporting you in your career. You are seen by the society as a successful person. Negatives are: there will be another man / women (other than your spouse) in your life in some stage bringing you enough mental strain. In early life you value money and late life you want peace; both you shall get if you are ready and willing to make that amount of sacrifice.

Lunation Cycle: How the Eight Lunar Phases affect you?

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Lunation cycle is about Moon, its orbit around Earth and the phases or stages in the Moon’s cycle. Traditionally lunation cycle is viewed as an important barometer to understand human lifestyle. In this blog post I explain the lunation cycle in general and review the Eight phases of Moon in its orbit around the Earth. I give a brief on Astronomy and the Cosmics for the Eight Phases of the Moon in a Lunation Cycle so that you can improve your life style.

Lunation Cycle

The Moon takes 29 days 12 hours and 44 minutes (29.53 days) to complete the orbit around Earth and return to the original position where it started. This we call a synodic month. During a synodic month Moon goes through eight phases in its lunation cycle. Each phase lasts a number of days. The duration is asymmetrical, that is not exactly uniform. Like Sun, Moon also rises in the east and sets in the west. Though many consider the Moon as a satellite of Earth, it is in fact a planet of its own. It has a diameter of 2,140 miles little more than quarter of the Earth and revolves around the Sun in synchronization with the Earth. Earth’s gravity keeps the Moon on a specific path. When the Moon and Earth meets on every 45 degree tangentially you can see that the Moon’s gravity rises resulting in greater pulling power for the Moon evidenced in high tides. Likewise when the Moon comes very close to the Earth called “perigee” the pulling power of the Moon over Earth is high.

Lunation cycle is useful to study about mind, medicine, agriculture, calendar, meteorology etc. It is very useful in women’s affairs such as menstruation, marriage and pregnancy. The eight phases are: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent (Balsamic). A schematic representation is given below:

Moon Phases

Courtesy: http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/time/phases.jpg

1.New Moon

Astronomy: This lasts from 0 day to 2.4 days. You cannot see this Moon as its light is lost against the background of the Sun’s glare. Sometimes you can see the darkened part of the Moon in the western sky as Moon sets along with the Sun. During this time the Sun, Earth and Moon are almost on direct line at the zero degree in relation to the Earth. In case this alignment is too close we have solar eclipse. Generally we have two solar eclipses in a year. Since the Earth is in-between Sun and Moon, the Sun’s light first fall on Earth, reflects back on the Moon and bounce back to the Earth. This process of Sun-Earth-Moon-Earth is an interesting phenomenon. At this phase Moon lags behind the Sun by few minutes. Astronomically, movement is measured in minutes and hours. The zero point of the Moon tangentially to the Earth can neutralize the gravity of the Earth.

Cosmics: If you are born during this phase, you have dependency syndrome, you cling to someone or idea to protect you. You have lot of intuition like baby tortoises hatched in the sea-shore. You need constant prodding and guidance. You are not good in leading but good in advising, reforming etc. Many will take you for granted. Unless properly guided you may become a dreamer or revolutionary. Your mind is never stable.

2.Waxing Crescent

Astronomy: This phase lasts from 2.4 days to 7.4 days. During this time we can see the crescent Moon in the western sky as it sets with the Sun. The light side of the Moon faces away from the Earth. It slowly grows from a sliver to just smaller than half of the disk. At the beginning of the phase, Moon is ahead of Sun in terms of movement by about 2.5 hours. The Moon rises progressively late in the morning almost an hour late every day. Unless there is dim Sunlight you cannot see the Moon. Progressively the Moon sets late in the evening. You can see the Moon almost overhead in the northern sky after the Sun sets. During this fairly long phase, the Moon passes the 45 degree tangent to the Earth giving it high pulling power.

Cosmics: If you are born during this phase, you are a busy guy, in soccer you are in the wings always running but less scoring. You like growth, cherish greenery and like to be with grandma or grandpa; you can story-tell, bring new ideas of how to fix the roof that is leaking. Once you make –up your mind you will cling to it like a child. You can do things like advanced maths, play chess and card games because your mind works faster than what the body can bear. Split-second decision making is your hall-mark. Negatives are; you always demand attention, go forward blindly even if there is an obstacle.

3.First Quarter

Astronomy: This phase lasts from 7.4 days to 11.1 days. During this phase, the Moon is just over-head, rising in noon and setting at midnight. At 7.4 days, the Moon passes the 90 degree tangent to the Earth neutralizing the gravity of the Earth. On the 7th day half of the Moon disk is illuminated. We call this first quarter because half of total globe is equal to quarter. Sunlight reflected on the Moon is increasing; Moon is ahead of Sun by 6 hours at the start of the phase. You can see Moon in the broad daylight after it arises over-head; Moon is visible from noon till well past mid-night. You will see the right side of the Moon illuminated.

Cosmics: If you are born during this phase you strike middle course in any matter. Furthermore, intermediary work like banking & finance, stock & bond broking appeals to you. You have strong mind and positive outlook. You tend to look after your physique well. Leading an active life-style you are a club-going personality. Negatives are: temptation to make quick buck leading into criminality; craving for self—praise. Depending on your element you either become a peace maker or a trouble-monger

4.Waxing Gibbous

Astronomy: The Moon is fast reaching its fullness. This phase lasts from 11.1 days to 14.8 days with most part of the Moon disk illuminated. At the beginning of the phase the Moon is 135 degree tangential to Earth with high gravitational pull over Earth. Moon is ahead of Sun by 9 hours at the start of the phase. The Moon rises late in the afternoon towards east and sets early morning, before the Sun rise. You will observe the Moon looks closer to the Earth now than in the early phases.

Cosmics: If you are born during this phase you are good in auditing or profession that evaluates and reports to an independent party. A stable mind asking others to “dot the I and dash the T”, you are a perfectionist when it comes to others; in your personal matters, you gloss over details. You are curious, anxious and do lot of coaching your spouse how to run the house. Though your mind yearns for sophistication and good life you cannot get it because you are too honest. Negatives are: your impatience and lack of pragmatism will make you an odd man out. Enemies fear you because you crush them; friends are scared because you do not toe their line.

5.Full Moon

Astronomy: In the night you see the full Moon, a full disk of illuminated part facing the Earth. This phase lasts very short from 14.8 days to 16.2 days. Moon is ahead of Sun by 12 hours at the full Moon stage. The Moon is in the east as Sun sets. At this point Moon has reached half-way through its orbit. This phase is like the New Moon. All three- Sun, Earth and Moon align almost on a straight line. Moreover, the Moon is at 180 degree tangential to the Earth neutralizing the gravity of the Earth. Violent storms specially in the oceans appear during this time. If the Moon aligns more closely then we have lunar eclipse. Generally we have two lunar eclipse in a year. This Moon is also called as Night Moon because it is there in the sky the entire night. After reaching the full moon phase the Moon starts to wane.

Cosmics: If you are born during this phase you always make two choices: yes or no. A personality with bright face and inviting look, you are enjoying the best that nature has given you. You have lot of energy and make others energetic too. You enjoy life and allow others to do the same. Very charitable person; promises you keep, mistakes you forgive. Your magnetism attracts every and sundry. Unless monitored, you will tend to over-do many things. Negatives are: you are perennially weak in relating to the opposite sex including your spouse. There is only one way to take you out: create a fear in you that you will fail. Thereafter you are an humpty dumpty.

6.Waning Gibbous

Astronomy: As the longest spell, this phase lasts from 16.2 days to 22.2 days. Moon is behind the Sun by little more than an hour at the start of the phase.The Moon is slowly receding from fullness. Though major part of the Moon disk is illuminated, it is losing its brightness steadily. At the beginning of the phase the Moon is 225 degree tangential to Earth with high gravitational pull over Earth. The Moon rises late in the night towards south east and sets after Sun-rise. You observe that the Moon is giving much cooler even though paler light.

Cosmics: If you are born during this phase you are a land-lubber, that is neither you will move nor be swayed to accept reality. But when it comes to sway others you will do better. If you are not controlled you will bring the entire roof down. You are good at marketing, advertisement and selling ice to Eskimos. Your mind power is such that it can break any issue into small parts and then join to resolve. Jig-saw puzzle appeals to you. You have the capacity to reflect and report on any event; something like a trouble shooter. Negatives are: You are resistant to change and you simply do not like others pushing you around. At some critical moment you may suddenly give up.

7.Last Quarter

Astronomy: This phase lasts from 22.2 days to 25.9 days. During this phase, the Moon is just over-head, rising at midnight and setting in noon. Moon is behind the Sun by 6 hours at the start of the phase. As Sun rises you see the Moon over-head. At the beginning the Moon passes the 270 degree tangent and the pulling power of the Moon is very high. Only half of the moon disk, that is left half is illuminated. Sunlight reflected from the Moon is decreasing. You can see Moon in the broad daylight in some days.

Cosmics: If you are born during this phase you are a principled person with a rational approach. No place for emotions; “let us see” is your mantra. You come with “out of the box solutions” to any problem. You have the stomach to face insult, defeat and tragedies. Whether success or failure you remain composed and cool. Negatives are: your relationship with the bosses and colleagues is not smooth; many critical matters will remain un-settled. Many army generals have this feature.

8.Waning Crescent (Balsamic)

Astronomy; This last phase is known as Balsamic. It lasts from 25.9 to 29.6 days. During this time we can see the Moon once again becoming a crescent. It rises in the early morning in the south western sky; it sets in the afternoon amid the glare of the Sun. Once again you see the Moon losing Sunlight reflected on it. You also see the sliver thin with the right side partly illuminated. At the beginning the Moon passes the 315 degree tangent to the Earth with high pulling power. As days go by the Moon disappears from your view. The Moon is behind the Sun by about 9 hours at the beginning of the phase and by the time it runs its full course of 29.6 days it l reaches almost 12 hours behind the Sun.

Cosmics: If you are born during this phase, you love light fragrances, light colours etc. You have complete control over your temper; you crack witty jokes. A person with powerful inner power you are good in back-room operations, this is due to your slow burning energy. You tend to study subjects like history and quickly draw parallels in any issue of human understanding. You are futuristic too. Very satisfied with what you have you will not break rules or be un-faithful to your spouse. Negatives are: you have searching mind prompting you to look through the key-holes; fantasize specially in sex; if you are male you may acquire qualities of feminine.

Cosmic Numbers

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

 

Cosmic Numbers have secrets hidden within. There are Ten Cosmic Numbers including the number zero. In this blog post I describe the  Secrets of Numbers and their Cosmics.

Number Zero

This relates to cosmic darkness; feminine; in Hindu Scripts called “Yoni” referring to the divine vagina. Zero is unstable though it has a peculiar vibration pattern; on the right it adds value to the number placed left; 2 and 0 make twenty. On the left it decreases the value of the number placed right; 0 and 2 makes point 02. Zero denotes absence of electrical pulse in circuit diagrams. Number zero relates to the disk of universe and of black colour. Alone yoni cannot generate vibrations; either it must join with another integer or simply receive vibrations from number one. But we cannot do without zero. All numbers from 2 to 9 are made by the combination or otherwise of zero and/or number one. Nobody knows which came first whether zero or number one. Most probably they are reflection of the same divine power.

Number One

This relates to cosmic light; masculine; in Hindu Scripts called “lingam” referring to the divine penis. It signifies the essence of being. In space it signifies the Sun and gives white light. It gives cosmic vibrations but never receives same. Lingam can create alone, but the creation will not be perfect. For this lingam requires the services of Yoni. Its vibration pattern covers positive, negative and neutral spectrum. Number one is the most stable.

Number Two

It is made by lingam in full and a half yoni. It gets vibrations from number one only, shown as two times one or 1+1. Number two relates to the Moon and of orange colour. It generates a combination of positive and neutral vibration or a combination of negative and neutral vibrations. Number two is unstable.

Number Three

It is made by two half yoni. It gets vibrations from number 1 & 2; shown as three times one and 1+2. It gives most powerful cosmic vibration. The combination of 1 & 2 makes it a spectacular number. Number three relates to Jupiter and the colour is yellow. It gives positive vibrations often; in some instances it could be neutral but rarely negative. Number three hovers between stability and instability in a narrow range.

Number Four

It is made by three lingams. It gets vibrations from 1, 2 & 3; shown as four times one and 1+3 & 2+2. It is the reflection of the hidden and un-seen part of the Sun giving multi colours of dark shades. Number four is generally positive or neutral; at times it can be negative as well. It shuttles between stability and instability in a broad range.

Number Five

It is made by two lingams and a half yoni. It gets vibrations from 1, 2, 3 & 4; shown as five times one and 1+4 & 2+3. It is of green colour and relates to Mercury. Number five is mostly neutral and reflects stability of sort.

Number Six

It is made by one lingam and one yoni, the first occasion where both come in full. Since the yoni is placed underneath, as it should be, and to the left of number one, it generates spectacular positive energy and cosmic harmony. It relates to Venus and full of blue colour. Number six gets vibrations from 1,2,3,4 & 5; shown as six times one and 1+5,2+4,3+3. It is the second most stable number after number one.

Number Seven

It is made by two lingams and starved of yoni. It gets vibrations from 1.2.3.4.5 & 6 ; shown as seven times one and 1+6,2+5,3+4. It relates to the hidden or un-seen side of the moon giving multi colours of light shades. Number seven generates positive or negative energy at any given time; such that it is difficult to trace the trend. Number seven can be stable like number six or unstable like number two.

Number Eight

It is made by two yoni and starved of a lingam. It gets vibrations from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7; shown as eight times one and 1+7, 2+6, 3+5 & 4+4. It is relates to Saturn giving out purple, magenta and violet colours. Number eight generates positive or negative energy and never neutral energy. It reflects both stability and instability in similar fashion.

Number Nine

It is made by one lingam and one yoni, the second occasion where both come in full. Since the yoni is hoisted upward, there again on the right of the number one, it is antithesis to what we see in number six. Consequently, number nine generates destructive cosmic energy. If you add number nine to any integer the result remains same. For example 9+7 =16 which when added together gives you 7 once again. It gets vibrations from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 & 8; shown as nine times one and 1+8,2+7,3+6 &4+5. It relates to Mars and of red colour. Number nine is most unstable.

Cosmic Colours

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Every person is born with a cosmic colour; there are 12 cosmic colours. The cosmic colour in which you are born is permanent. It tells about you; your personality, fortune and many other aspects. It is something like a cosmic signature sealing your fate. By finding your cosmic colour you can adjust your life style to take advantage of the Cosmics and make your life a success. The cosmic colours consist of White, the mother of colours and 11 children. These cosmic colours are divided into three groups. Warm Spectrum contains three hot colours: red, orange and yellow in receding order. Neutral Spectrum contains hot to cold colours beginning with green and ending with blue; in between there are sea-green, turquoise and sky-blue. Cold Spectrum contains three cold colours: purple, magenta and violet. White colour cannot be grouped under any spectrum.

You will be wondering where is Black in this scheme. For your information black is not a cosmic colour; it is indeed absence of colour, something similar to dark night. We call white cosmic day and the black cosmic night. You can read about black colour in my earlier post Black Colour: Good, Bad and Ugly”. In this blog post let me give you a brief about the 12 cosmic colours and their impact and influence on you.

1. Red

Red represents body. It reflects an outgoing personality with positive outlook; considered as one of three basic colours red generates hot waves; it travels at a speed of 610 to 750 Nanometers (Nm), the highest for a cosmic colour. It gives full of zest; in youth red is a necessity and as one grows old red has problem of adjusting. Most red people have mid-life crises. Saying “Yes we can” often, red neither apologises nor asks for one. If you are red then you have abundant enthusiasm, a natural ability to weather any storms; lot of power and passion. You have more sexual vitality but generally with fewer children. You are an antithesis of Moon. You give no place to emotions; but you are angry often; because you cannot tolerate excuse and any social injustice. Communism took red colour for this purpose. Red delves deep; it goes to the basics all the time; strong, putting your foot down and standing erect. Red gives you stimulus in life, sports or business. However, as your vibrations are related to body only, thinking part takes back seat. Consequently, family or business harmony is generally impaired. Although red protects you and nourishes you it cannot balance itself. Red leads to heightened activity, without cosmic balance. Hence, many who are red end in having high blood pressure or heart ailments. Fire is your element, leading to prosperity if you have wisdom or to danger if you do not think twice.

2. Orange

Orange represents both body and mind. A derivative colour from the mixture of red and yellow orange has the luxury of personality and energy from red and wealth and wisdom from yellow. It also balances yin and yang energy. Physical warmth with mental desire makes you good in office as well in family. Main energy relates to your sexuality, as a result your partner is very fond of you. Orange generates moderate hot waves with a speed of 590 to 620 Nm. Orange also adjusts the negative effects of the Sun; hence you can team easily with people from both sides red and yellow. You always have mixed audience; either people like you or hate you. If you choose high visibility jobs you have this problem. Your element is water giving perennial youthfulness to you. Generally healthy, with “expelling systems” such as sweat, urine and stool in perfect working order you can party till the wee hours. When it comes to controversy, you are the most neutral person; when it comes to business risk taking you are an active person. Success and flamboyance on one side, smile and forbearance on the other side you are a perfect symbol of a Doer.

3. Yellow

Yellow is all about mind. Unlike red and orange your mood changes often, because yellow generates positive and negative vibrations in same wavelength. That is why yellow is called “the great equalizer”. The colour yellow acts in different ways: moderator, equalizer, eliminator and builder. It moderates sex and lust; equalizes your thoughts and actions; eliminates your depression; finally it builds up your body and energy. Since you have to do lot of rope walking in your life balancing this and that it will be difficult to be alert all the times. Your air element can give way; as a result either you will be on the top of everything or just pushed out to the bottom. Since your mental power is high you should guard against being lonely or engaging in un-social activities. Idle mind is devil’s workshop is very apt in your case. A materialistic person with a fashionable life style you will enjoy your childhood and the sunshine. Your positive features will take care of your mood changes. You are better placed in jobs that require quick thoughts along with much travelling or hard-work, because your breathing pattern goes down and then up energizing your body to withstand any pressure. Yellow gives low hot waves with a speed of 565 to 590 Nm.

4. Green

Green says go; it signifies entry into a new realm; from warm spectrum you go into neutral spectrum; green also signifies abundance, flesh and plumpness. In the visible spectrum of the sunlight green occupies large area; its speed ranges between 525 to 575 Nm. Green receives vibrations from three basic colours : red, yellow and blue. Made by a mixture of yellow and blue, green has both mind and soul; yellow representing mind and blue representing soul. Green is popular colour and ranked second in terms of preferred colour universally. Green is everywhere, the most pervasive colour in the universe. Remitting less hot and fairly colder waves green always moves horizontally. The colour green acts in number of ways; it modifies, rejuvenates and soothes. If you are green then you have peaceful and fresh mind as if you have swallowed mint. Stable and pleasant, you are an achiever in terms of position and wealth; in material goodness and spiritual blessing. Green makes you move forward in your chosen line to explore new ways of doing your work. Once it is exhausted you have to change career. Green is a colour that changes its hue between natural sunlight and artificial light; like -wise both your positive and negative sides will be in the limelight. For example your skills and deficiencies are seen by the external world. Green’s earth element gives you lot of patience and the ability to listen to others. Most people would pour their inner secrets as they see you as a person who can refresh them. Your business and family life is average. Like every average person you want more success; never satisfied with what you get you will want more and work more.

5. Sea-Green

In Latin it is called as viridian. This colour is a derivative one with a mixture of green with slightly darker blue. It reflects vastness and depth like an ocean. For specialised laser products scientist use viridian more than red laser. Viridian improves night vision as well. Colder than green Viridian travels in a speed of 520 to 540 Nm. If you are a viridian you can see things better than others do; your vision is rarely impaired. You can see through any person. Some may dub you as mind-reader. Though you appear to the outside world as a calm and collected person, inside your mind is boiling. You will never show your feelings and emotions. But you are emotional and stressful inside. Dissembler is the apt word to describe you. Any tough job shall suit you. Armed services, diplomatic postings, trouble-shooting etc., are areas where you will excel. Your element is generally earth with water; so you have breadth and depth together. Your body-frame is generally plump and your mental agility is that of a cheetah; “ you can kiss and kill” without much ado.

6. Turquoise

Al-Kazwini , astronomer and gemmologist said ”the hand that wears a turquoise (Gem) and seals with it will never see poverty”. Turquoise is the colour of wealth and wisdom; not only that, turquoise keeps negative vibrations away. Turquoise is a median colour between green and blue with a speed averaging around 500 Nm; since it is also a median colour between sea-green and sky-blue it is sometimes referred to as aquamarine. It combines the element of earth from green and element of soul from blue. This combination also gives rise to an element of water as well. It is the colour of Sufi Dervish ( mendicants) who saunter in the path of supreme glory. Generally preferred by men in their mid-forties, turquoise is full of sophistication, calm and stable growth, all aspects that you see in your mid-life. This colour makes you face any crises in mid-life career or family. Turquoise attracts lot of yin energy (female) from the cosmos. New relationship, especially from the female side blossoms; new avenues of employment open; you see a new spring in your life. If you are turquoise you have perfect balance in anything you do sports, business and social life. But due to additional element of water introduced by turquoise you may be tempted. Probably Eve showed Adam a Turquoise Apple.

7. Sky-blue

A primary colour in printing, Sky-blue is more bluish than turquoise colour and generally known as “aqua” as “cyan”. Sky-blue is an expansive colour like the sky. Its speed of 480 to 520 Nanometers makes it pretty colder than previous colours. Within sky-blue you see droplets of snow and water. It borders blue with more soul , less earth and a sprinkling of water as its elements. If you are sky-blue you are master of yourself. Warm and friendly towards others, you will demonstrate sympathy and empathy in equal measure. More blue in you makes you to think laterally and vertically. You will fit in high-task jobs that require quick and clear thinking : Astronauts, fighter pilots and similar jobs. You can persuade others in a soothing manner; hence good in marketing where persuasion rather than aggressiveness is required. You have depth and breadth; before doing a task you do complete study and a rehearsal perhaps. But you are too sincere and honest to tell a lie. That might embarrasses you in many instances. Unless your partner is hot and active, family life will be boring. Towards the end you may get into spiritual side more than materialism.

8. Blue

The number one favourite colour universally, blue is a basic colour like red and yellow. Generating cold waves blue travels in a speed between 450 to 500 Nanometer. Blue has both masculine and feminine features. Blue is marked for stable performance. It is all about trust between parties , bond between partners, relationship between men and women. Unlike red and yellow, the colour blue is for long term. It is used in engagement and nuptial rings. While red is for body, yellow is for mind blue is about the soul. Inspiration, devotion, fidelity, friendship, trusts and confidence blue covers those aspects that keep human race moving forward. Blue represents the sky and infinity. If you are blue, then you have all these qualities. You appreciate beauty, wisdom and faithfulness. You trust others and in turn expect them to trust you. You are intuitive, intelligent , and smart and like to spend life in full. Blue moves vertically therefore constancy is your hall mark ; you dine in the same restaurant and enjoy the same music. You talk less and work more. However, your feelings of sincerity and sophistication will not be shared by many. You will be caught in the web of deceit on and off. You forgive the culprits but again they repeat it. Unless you are monitored by your partner in life you will have serious issues in family, job and finance.

9. Purple

Purple is a mixture of red and blue; it has red instability and blue stability. If it is bluer we call it Indigo and if it is redder we call it pink. With red and blue mesmerizing, you always go from one extreme to other. The Kings and emperors liked it; you know how these monarchs behave; one day they reward and on another occasion they punish. Preferred colour in teens, many girls wears purple clothes reflecting their mood changes. It contains warm and cool features. Travelling in a wavelength between 425 to 450 Nanometers, purple shows instability. If you are purple you like wealth, luxury and flamboyance on the one hand and engage in intrigue or conspiracy on the other. You wade between secularism and spiritual inquiry. Either you are sexist or abstain from sex. You have hidden knowledge and a good material to become an eccentric or mystic. Purple is the first step towards mysticism. You also can serve in service providers that improve the life of people generally.

10. Magenta

A mixture of yellow and purple, magenta is a magnificent colour. In the mystical order, magenta is in mid-course. Magenta works in wavelength between 400 to 420 Nm and used in the printing industry as a foundation colour. It expels negative elements and gives purity of mind; it provides you with stable and strong body. Magenta is a bridge between finite and infinity. If you are magenta you have lot of inner power; innovative and searching mind. You can mind-read and do clairvoyance. You will fit into administrative jobs where lot of organizational ability is required. Though your physical body is not in good shape your internal organs especially those connected with mucus, hormones and semen are in top form. If positive you will be a brilliant administrator; if negative you are a time-pusher.

11. Violet

A mixture of sky-blue with yellow, violet is the coolest colour with a wavelength of 380 to 435 Nanometers. A bluish purple colour, violet can read hidden matters like a “violet lamps”. Violet reaches the highest point in spirituality and is an embodiment of the Subtle. Violet is the colour of infinity. Violet can heal diseases, expels evils and genies; it energizes anyone on earth. If you are violet then you are a path-finder, innovator par excellence. You have perfect control over all your elements. You are a colossus to whom family , business and colleagues cling to.

12. White

It is the cosmic day; mother of all colours. If you are white, you are a pure, simple person, with clarity of thoughts & actions ; you show sincerity, coolness and composure. You can begin a task well and end it well. You exhibit a quality of perfectness and cleanliness. If you are too kind you will be short-changed, though. You are an angel.

Jupiter – Sun Conjunction in January 2009

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

 

(Originally written on Blgspot on Friday January 16, 2009)

Bang! Bang ! Bang ! Bank. Straight to the Bank. We must thank 50 Cent for the number “Straight to the Bank “ this is what came to my mind when analysing the Jupiter – Sun Conjunction taking place on Saturday, January 24 this year. When Jupiter bangs upon the Sun ( not physically anyway ) it presages that only banks including the often maligned World Bank can salvage you and many others out there from this economic recession. This conjunction gives more weight to banks, financial ministries and presidencies of many countries across the globe in their goal of reversing the economic recession.

At 7.00 UTC/GMT time on January 24, the Jupiter- Sun Conjunction of January 2009 takes place with both good and bad news. Good news is….. You guessed it right, the economic recession is slowly winding-up. The bad news is everyone is conserving cash that the economic engine is out of gas. This is where the banks can come in, provided they have the tenacity to weather the crisis and governments have the willingness to lend these institutions capital and bailouts. In this blog I write about the Jupiter – Sun Conjunction January 2009 in terms of positional astronomy, stars, constellation and cosmic interpretation.

1. Positional Astronomy

1. The conjunction takes place in-between two stars Pi Capricorni and Rho Capricorni both in the Capricornus constellation. This constellation is historically depicted as a Sea –Goat. On the celestial sphere the conjunction takes place at Right Ascension (RA) 20.42 hours and on the Declination (DEC) at 19.44 degrees South. As a result, the planet Jupiter would be in total eclipse and thereafter could not be viewed from the earth till end of this month

2. Sun enters the Capricornus constellation on January 20, whereas Jupiter has already entered it on January 4. Sun would leave the constellation on February 14, while Jupiter continues its stay till early February 2010.

3. The previous Jupiter- Sun conjunction took place on December 23, 2007; the next is due end – February 2010

4. Simultaneously, the Moon, which is on 27.9 days, almost at the end of its lunation cycle, occults (over-shadows) the Star Nunki (Sigma Sagittari) in the Sagittarius constellation.

2. Stars

1. Pi Capricorni : this star is called “Oculus” ( Latin – Eye), located in the right eye of the sea-goat. A triple star system with close companions these star showers blue to white colour lamination. It is a bright giant, approximately 670 light years away, classified as B8III star with a visual magnitude of 5.0. It is located at RA 20.43 hours

2. Rho Capricorni : this star is east of the previous one by 0.03 hours, about 27 minutes apart. Called as “ Bos “ ( Latin – Bull) it is located on the right side of the face little away from the right eye. A binary star with a visual magnitude of 4.78 it is classified as F2IV, a yellowish- white sub-giant and approximately 98 light years away from the earth. This star is located at RA 20.46 hours

Both stars are considered to be a good pair. A sketch of the stars is shown below; see right just above the minus 20 latitude:

3. Capricornus Constellation

One of the ancient and mysterious constellations, Capricornus is celebrated as God in many cultures. In Greek mythology it is “Pan” the god of flocks, shepherds, hunting and rustic music. Often the god is presented with human legs and with goat’s horns. Pan is very lustful and at the same time has a helpful disposition. For all his misdemeanours, the gods are pleased with him as he forewarns dangers.

But the Babylonian had another version of the constellation. In Babylonia he is” EA” or “ ENKI” , the God who educates and rewards; god of intelligence and intuition. This god was depicted to have human upper part lower part of a Fish. In Hindu mythology, Lord Vishnu is said to have taken an incarnation called Matsaya ( Fish ) to save the Hindu sacred books of Vedas from deluge that threatened the entire humanity. EA often appears on earth pre-warning calamities and educating how to save from these. In one instance EA has taught people to make an ark during a deluge. This story is comparable with the Noah’s Ark in the Bible. For more than 15,000 years the Babylonians have been celebrating god EA donning goat’s skin. God Ea can be compared with God Osiris in Egyptian mythology – a do-gooder and educator. In early times, the December solstice was marked in the Capricornus constellation. Due to precession of earth , this is now in Sagittarius constellation. However, many systems such as astrology still use Capricornus as a sign for winter solstice.

Astronomically, this constellation is very significant. It braces the Tropic of Capricorn , an imaginary line on 23 degrees and 30 minutes South of Equator. Furthermore, the planet Neptune was discovered in 1846 traversing within the Capricornus constellation.

4. Cosmic Interpretation

The following are highlights of the cosmic interpretations, though does not form an exhaustive list :

1. Whenever the Sun traverses through Capricornus, it mixes cold with warmth. The cold wintry air which has less humidity is heated with cosmics to make people from falling sick. Chronic ailments such as rheumatism would generally be relieved. More minerals such as potassium and magnesium are stored in the sun-light that is showered all over the earth. Sun goes on to patch-up things; make peace between warring enemies; brings end to sufferings; harmony would be restored. Before it leaves the constellation Sun makes things happen around you

2. As the conjunction takes place in a very auspicious location of the “ pair” , that is two stars that are considered so, economic and political leadership would be very much balanced. The good indication was how the Gas Row between Russia and Ukraine was resolved recently.

3. This conjunction taking place in the first week of Obama Presidency itself is remarkable. Barack Obama has a full plate of problems both domestic and international, which he and he alone can handle. In doing so, he would combine political and economic acumen and resourcefulness. He will complete the Herculean tasks of Un-doing of actions by despots, Establishing peace, Stabilizing the world economic system & Investing in prosperity and growth( Read details in my blog post Mars- Sun conjunction in December 2008” ).

4. Barack Obama’s priority would be two-fold; one is to reverse the Economic Recession. The burden of stabilizing the world economy will be shared by USA, European Community, Japan and China as I mentioned in my blog post “ Forecast 2009 ”. The Jupiter – Sun Conjunction reinforces this point. My prediction of bloodletting continuing in the Middle –east, Afghanistan, Kashmir and Palestine and peace prevailing in countries bordering East and South China Sea and the Caucasus is also lent credence. ( Read details in my blog post “ Forecast 2009 ”). Knotty issues such as Cuba and Venezuela would be gradually eased

5. Good time for politicians, commanders –in chief of countries but bad for commanders-in chief of armed forces. Church and business leaders gain respect while trigger –happy men would be perished.

6. Diplomacy is in the fore-front; we see a United Nations where consensus reigns rather than cold war brinkmanship

7. Services such as education, shipping would grow; entertainment industry would be driven by music and videos rather than big budget films. Manufacturing industries that cater to the civilian needs would rise; arms and ammos would, however , plummet. Technology takes the back-seat; computers and software dwindle. Gas, oil and other cartels would see trouble; all these reinforcing my comments made in 2009 Forecast

8. Health wise it is bad for people suffering from chronic ailments and those connected with liver and head; ailments in the heart and hands abate; the ones affecting legs would be stagnant. Those who are obese run big risk

9. Serious incidents in the oceans are forecast; while Somali piracy goes down major accidents would occur; climate would also prove to be nasty

10. The danger of an asteroid hitting the Earth is a possibility. The Asteroid Belt between Mars & Jupiter needs more study than it receives now

11. Those who are born under stars of Sagittarius, Capricornus and Pisces constellations would do very well. Spotlight is turned on the following stars in these constellations:

· Sagittarius : Ascella ( zeta) Nunki (sigma) Kaus borealis ( lambda) tau & phi

· Capricornus: Algedi(alpha) Dabih(beta) Nashira( gamma) Deneb Algedi ( delta) , sigma, pi, rho & upsilon

· Pisces : Gamma, Beta ( Fom-Al- Samakah ) , theta, iota, lambda kappa & 19 piscium

12. Those who have 6 & 3 in their number combinations would excel

13. This is time for expansion and not contraction; lot of energy cascading; intelligence combined with money should see an end to financial downswing. But as stated in “ 2009 Forecast “ expenditure overall would be curtailed. That begs the question who and what can be done to reverse this trend.

14. Now we go back to the beginning of this blog post. Yes it is the Bank; Barack Obama has to convene a meeting of big industrialized nations and the representatives of the big banks and chalk out a plan immediately. Recession that kept everyone to bow his head would be over. As the first quarter ends on 31st March, there would be a sigh of relief throughout the world. My best wishes to the leaders of nations across the globe for making peace and prosperity a reality.

Leonids: Have you got a Lion in you?

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

 

 

Lion, the king of the jungle has sprawled over you. Right away it resides in your mind and in your body; in your thoughts, speech, mannerism, conduct and the way you respond to both adversity and opportunity. How the Lion got into you? It is simple; if you are born during the Leonid Meteor Showers, the Lion creeps into your system. In this blog post I explain about the Leonid Meteor Showers in general, how you got the Lion in you and names of personalities who are impacted like you.

1. Leonids Meteor Showers

You have heard about meteor showers or shooting stars or falling stars, or simply meteors. There are millions of these shooting stars seen throughout the year. When you look at the night sky generally after mid-night you will observe streaks of light flicking away in the sky for a second or two. What you see is not a physical matter, because most of these meteors are so small to be seen from the earth, but the atmospheric reaction when these fast moving meteors hit at the earth’s atmosphere resulting in a friction between the air molecules and the surface of the meteor. So you see the burning of the gaseous particles in glowing colour. You can read about Meteors, in my earlier blog “Geminids Meteor Shower: Relief to Mentally Retarded Children.

Most of the showers are named after the constellation they originate from; we call this as “radiant”. Leonids takes its names from Leo constellation, to which we can trace back its origin or radiant. Leonids Meteor Showers which we call “Leonids” for easy reference is divided into Major and Minor Showers. The Major one occurs during November whereas Five Minor ones occur during the period mid- January till end- April. In the case of Major Leonids we take the entire duration as having influence over you. In the case of Minor Leonids we consider only the peak dates as having impact on you.

2. Major Leonids

Major Leonids begin on November 14 and last till November 20. During this time the shooting stars move fast and stealthily, like a typical Lion. Striking at about 50 miles per hour speed these are more than bazooka fire. On average 100 meteors could be seen within an hour. This level rises to about 5000 meteors per hour when the Earth comes into the path of the comet 55P / Temple Tuttle which flies past the Sun in an orbit of 33 years. We had a great sighting in the years 1965&1966 thereafter 33 years later in 1998 & 1999. Incidentally the Major Leonids is connected with the Comet 55P / Temple Tuttle whose debris is transformed into the shooting stars. The Radiant of the Major Leonids is traced back to the space between two brilliant stars of the Leo constellation. These are: Algeiba & Al-Dhafera. The star Algeiba is from the Arabic name Al- Jabba (the Mane); it is a bright double star giving cosmic rays of orange and greenish yellow. It is located just below the star Al-Dhafera. The latter is from the Arabic name “Al-Thafera” (back of the Ear). This star, though less brilliant than Algeiba gives a bright hue of Yellow and white.

If you are born during November 14 to 20, you are really a Big Lion; brave in thoughts and in conduct; you will skim the social standards and lead by example; have the tenacity to weather any crisis to achieve your goal; go forward with inert wisdom; go out of the way to help others; Show patience and persistence; Always on the top the situation, you have quality of command & control. If you are male Lion then you may suffer from sex deficiency, if you are female Lion then you have hyper-sex. Fate may not be kind towards you; there is a sense of tragedy. But long after you are gone the world will remember you as a great person. Celebrities who have birthdates during this period include Prince Charles, Erwin Rommel, Lisa Bonet, Laura Wilkinson, Linda Evans, Larry King, Calvin Klein and Bo Derek.

3. Minor Leonids

I am describing five minor Leonids only

3.1 Alpha Leonids

This Leonids peaks between 24 to 31 January. Striking at a speed of 20 miles per hour and about 10 meteors per hour, Alpha Leonids cannot be dismissed that easily. It is because Alpha Leonids has its origin or radiant in space where the great star Regulus is located. Regulus is on the front right leg groin and is the brightest star in the Leo constellation. Regulus is of 1.35 magnitudes with a magnificent Bluish-white colour; It is approximately 3.4 times size of the Sun, 137 times luminous than the Sun. It is a multiple star with three companions giving orange, red and white colours. Read my blog post “Star Regulus Anarchy without Monarchy” for details about the star Regulus.

If you are born between 24 to 31 January, you saunter slowly but with a pounce of the Lion’s right paw. None can keep up to you, when you are provoked; otherwise you are soft and lazy. Your roar is greater than your posture. You will always over-act or over re-act. Nobody puts you in right place, that could be your un-doing. Finally when the end comes all what you have done simply fades into history. You can lead nations and organizations; in the home front you are not too happy. You have always two choices: to do or not to do. There is no middle course for you. Right action takes you to top, wrongs steps shove you to loss and sometimes ignominy. Famous people who have birthdays during Alpha Leonids include Franklin D Roosevelt, Vanessa Redgrave, Richard Cheney (ex VP), Robert Burns, Earnest Borgnine, Douglas MacArthur, Mozart, Arthur Rubenstein, Andrew Keegan, John Forsythe and Justin Timberlake.

3.2 Delta Leonids

This Meteor showers peaks on February 22. The speed of the meteor is 24 miles per hour but the number of meteors recorded is less than 5 per hour. It is indeed a muted Lion. Medium active Delta Leonids has its radiant to the star Zosma. The word Zosma is Persian meaning “Girdle”. It is also called as “Dhur” from the Arabic “Al-Thahr” “ on the Back”. Actually the star is located on the rump close to the tail of the Lion. A triple star of 2.6 magnitude, it gives out pale yellow, blue and violet cosmic colours.

If you are born on Feb 22 you will have a powerful and ambitious mind; authoritative in dealing; someone who has iron fist covered by velvet glove. You are a creator be in fine arts or in politics. Your Lion is always awake but does not roar. Stickler for punctuality and focussed on detail you achieve or make others achieve. Leading by sincerity, you will make the world proud of you. But there is a minus point; finance is always wanting. Famous people born on February 22 include George Washington, Rembrandt and Edward Kennedy.

3.3 Sigma Leonids

Though considered active Sigma Leonids has a striking speed less than 20 miles and about 2 to 3 meteors recorded per hour. Peak date is March 25. Its radiant is traced to the Star Shishi-mai, named in Japanese meaning “Lion dance”. A blue – white giant of 4.0 magnitude, the star is located on the knee of the hind right leg of the Lion.

If you are born on this date you are best in back-office manoeuvres rather than going to the front office in marketing etc. More of an operational men you will have equal measure of fame and blame. In good times you are up and in bad times you are down than the Johnsons. But you are a lovable character, seen in many parties and dinners. You can propose a toast and may be offer after dinner speech. Your speaking style is unique. Entertainment industry is the number one field for you. You can also select utilities and services. Most chaotic event will be either your marriage or your divorce. Famous people who had this birth day include George Harrison and Tom Courtney.

3.4 Beta Leonids

Active meteor showers, Beta Leonids peak on 19 to 21 March. Its speed is less than 20 miles per hour but you can see more than 4 meteors per hour. Its radiant is traced to the star Denebola, 2nd brightest in the Leo constellation. Giving a cosmic light of blue to white rays this 2.1 magnitude star is located in the tail’s flourish of the Lion. Its Arabic name Al-Denab Al-Asad ( tail of the Lion), gives equal prominence to tail and the head.

If you are born on dates 19, 20 & 21 of March, you are personification of power & glory. You have the Midas touch. Everywhere you go you are welcome; dubbed indispensable; fixer of any issues. “Hey where is the guy, let him handle it” or “ I just can’t do without him” are credentials penned after you. You are seen all over, in clubs with beautiful women, in parks with a bat or ball. Physically fit and mentally alert you are the only Lion that goes through the life on an easy pace. You write history or someone writes about you. Famous people whose birthdays fall in these dates include Ursula Andres, Glen Close, B F Skinner, Nick Wheeler, Ronaldinho, and Timothy Dalton.

3.5 Rho Leonids

This meteor is most irregular in appearance. No concrete sightings or data available but peaks on 14 & 15 March. Its radiant is traced to the star known as “Shir”. It is a Persian word meaning Lion. A 3.8 magnitude blue-white super giant it is located in the front downside of the Lion.

If you are born on 14 or 15 March, you have a tendency to be an eccentric. Super intelligent but at the same time erratic you can make it or break it. Career and regular work may not appeal to you; you have to find your own song and the tune for the song as well; if you follow others you are finished; but if you try to lead then there will be calamity. Best is to mind your business and do something that pleases you. You should put aside conflicting opposites such as tradition versus modernity and carve your own niche in the market. Basically, you must have your own path. For all these roubles there is small mercy. Your marriage is a blessing. Famous people who had similar birthdays include Michael Caine, Albert Einstein, Andrew Jackson and Eva Longoria.

Gems for Premenstrual Syndrome

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

Majority of menstruating women do have some sort of premenstrual difficulties. As far as these do not affect and interfere with the normal life these can be taken as granted. But when such premenstrual syndrome (PMS), also known as Premenstrual Tension (PMT) affects and interferes in the normal life then it is necessary to take care. About 80% the menstruating women in the age group of 20 to 45 years have signs of PMS; some are affected lightly whereas many others have fairly difficult times. In this latter group the experience varies a lot. In some months PMS is easy going whereas in other months it becomes a major issue. Moreover, about 7 percent of the menstruating women suffer from a serious condition medically known as “Premenstrual Disphoric Disorder (PMDD)”, which needs specialized treatment and care.

To understand the subject of menstruation we need to study the beginning of the menstrual flow known as menarche, pre-menstrual syndrome, menstrual disorders and menopause. All these are invariably linked to lunation cycle. I have in a previous blog post explained menstrual disorders. In this blog post let me give you some ideas about the premenstrual syndrome; its nature, symptoms, causes and the treatment based on Cosmics and Gems and Crystals. A word of caution: cosmic treatment should be tweaked to individual circumstances for its effectiveness.

1. Premenstrual Syndrome

Basically, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is defined as “severe symptoms interfering with the normal course of life”. Though PMS is defined, neither its symptoms nor the causes are easily determined; this is due to a wide variety of symptoms and causes. PMS can be understood only if menstruating women keep a proper record. Therefore, they are well advised to record the date they begin to experience these symptoms and the day these symptoms disappear; the date menses begins and the day menses ends. Generally PMS disappear on the day the Menses begins.

Generally, on the 14th day after your period began, the ovary releases an egg; at this time the level of progesterone rises whereas the level of estrogen drops. Along with the level of estrogen, Serotonin a neurotransmitter released by the brain also drops. This triggers the condition of PMS. See my blog post “Gems and Cosmics for Menstrual Disorders“for the inter-play between these two hormones, that is, progesterone and estrogen.

Symptoms: The symptoms are broadly psychological and physical.

Psychology: Anxiety, anger, tension, depression, irritability, mood swings and emotions are the chief characteristics along with conditions such as insomnia, withdrawal from social and familial activities. Some women have craving for more food while others wish to fast.

Physical: Conditions include fatigue, head-ache, nausea, joint & muscle pain. Many women develop tender breasts and nipples; some have bloating abdomen accompanied with weight gain. Either constipation or diarrhoea affects few women resulting in missing meals or drinking too much of water. In rare cases there are abdominal cramps.

Causes: These are classifies into three types. Primary and secondary causes and the third one identified by me as “un-declared causes”.

Primary: Hormonal fluctuation along with low Serotonin level is the primary cause for PMS

Secondary: Family history, psychic condition, history of depression, stress, over- work, travelling, absence of vitamins and minerals, alcohol, high salt intake, carbonated or caffeinated beverages are chief items

Un-declared: Many women have underlying un-declared causes; chaotic family life, suppressed emotions, difficult relationships with opposite sex, un-satisfied sex life, absence of orgasm are prominent.

Premenstrual Disphoric Disorder (PMDD): This condition is of serious nature with physical disability coupled with anaemia and psychological issues such as severe form of depression, anxiety, high irritability and difficulties in focus or concentration. It is mainly caused by psychic conditions and sometimes by nervous issues

Your doctor will study the symptoms and causes and would prescribe the required medical treatment. Afterwards you can check with this blog post to find out the cosmic solution for PMS that incorporates Gems and Crystals and lifestyle changes

2. Gems & Crystals

Gems and Crystals are widely used to manage Premenstrual Syndrome. I am listing the Gems & Crystals on situational basis.

1. Balancing hormonal change: Moonstone blue

2. Calcium & magnesium deficiency: Diopside white or blue

3. Low Serotonin level: Pearl rose / white

4. Anaemia : Opal red

5. Inherited from mother: Pearl peach

6. Depression : Moonstone orange (as this is rare to find you can opt for Morganite which is a Beryl with manganese)

7. PMDD : Morganite along with Pearl pink

8. Salty condition leading to bloated stomach: Opal white ( anytime you feel uncomfortable drop this)

9. Same as above leading to kidney issue: Jadeite

10. Abdominal cramp: Cuprite

11. Abdominal pain: Opal jelly (clear or pale colour)

12. Head-ache & Nausea: Agate red/brown

13. Anxiety: Moonstone rainbow (multi colour)

14. Stress & over-work: Kunzite

15. Withdrawal from social & familial activities: Pearl lavender

16. Travelling related: Pearl purple

17. Regulating premenstrual cycle : Opal light ( blue colour)

18. Difficulty in relationship with opposite sex: Opal red/Pearl rose/Moonstone red

19. Deficiency in sexual happiness: Opal black ( caution : do not use for long time as it tends to decrease sex urge)

3. Cosmics

The cosmics recommended under postures, gestures, breathing, food, colour, aroma and sunlight in my blog post “Gems and Cosmics for Menstrual Disorders “apply here as well. Additional recommendations are given below:

Food: Since the level of Serotonin is the crucial aspect in premenstrual syndrome, any steep drop of this can affect you badly. Your body cannot convert directly Serotonin from what you eat; instead your body converts Serotonin from tryptophan, an amino acid. It is better for you to eat foods that have this amino acid. You can take almonds, sesame seed, pumpkin see, black gram, black walnuts, and black peas. Take more ginger, yams and soybean in your diet. Dill seeds soaked overnight in water can be had first thing in the morning

Application: Apply either primrose oil or sesame oil on your head and lower abdomen twice a day morning and evening.

Aroma: Make jasmine as your base aroma; you can use it as Spray or Attar upon your upper body area above navel and below neck; rose, lavender, lily or gardenia air-fresheners are also recommended

4. Cosmic Solution tweaked for you

As the above is general recommendation to be followed during PMS, it is necessary to tweak the recommendation to suit to individual circumstances because each person is born in a different lunation cycle with different cosmic equilibrium. To do so it is necessary to know your cosmic profile. Once a cosmic profile is available specific recommendation could be made available.

Black Colour: Good, Bad and Ugly

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

 

Black is a colour steeped in mystery and traditions; religions and cultures use this colour in abundance. Black is the beginning; everything starts with the colour black pervading. The creation itself starts with darkness and the God orders that “there shall be light, and light there was”. So runs the scriptures. Babies are born from mothers’ womb, once again from the world of darkness. After college education, the successful students file past in their convocations donning black cloaks. Marriage ceremony takes place often with the groom in formal dress mainly in black. When the end of life comes black pervades once again in its full and manifest strength. So the colour black is with us. But is it good, bad or ugly? I am describing in the blog post the general facts along with good, bad and ugly features of the black colour.

1. General Facts

Black colour actually means absence of any colour; in the Indian Vedic system black is considered to be in the colourless region.

1. It denote the cosmic night – what is un-seen, un-fathomed and un-known; it goes deep into infinity on the horizon and it goes deep underneath the earth where nobody has ever ventured

2. Two issues make black colour cosmically important. One, it is formless hence requires intervention of form from elsewhere; the other, it works within; it boils inside and needs another colour may be white or magenta or any other to brighten it up. This dependence made the colour be something feminine. From time immemorial women liked this colour. Today girls and ladies wear black colour (I am omitting the word clothes to keep it short and sweet) both as inner and outer garments

3. In the paint industry more than 50 % of the production consists of either black or white colour paints. Though black is considered to be a background colour for many activities, such as painting, drawing, acting, drama and so on, it is simply the fusion of three basic colours: Red, Blue and Yellow

4. Religious leaders selected black as their chosen colour; Jewish Rabbis began this tradition later followed in the Christian liturgy generously; the swirling movements of the dancing Sufi Dervesh ( Mendicants ) in their black coloured breast coats is too spectacular for you to watch

5. It is a colour of formal occasions; in the court rooms lawyers wear black cloak universally. In formal ceremonies majority of the men still wear black colour suits

6. The curative properties of black coloured gems and crystals such as black obsidian (apache tears) smoky quartz, black onyx, black tourmaline (schorl) black opals and black pearls are well known

7. Black colour is specially recommended for those born in the 21st lunar mansion of the City ( Arabic Manzil Al-Baldah ); those born in the lunar days of 8 , 17 and 26; those who have number combination where 8 is prominent; those whose names begin with H, F , P and S.

2. Good

There are several positive cosmics in black colour:

1. Most grounding colour, it makes you put your feet down and stand with strength and resoluteness; for a serious minded, conservative and conventional person black is “the colour”.

2. When wearing black you will feel that the ground energy begins to flow from your feet and move upward, energizing all your energy centres (Chakras). This happens via the spinal cord. This energy, feminine in nature meets up with white colour flowing downward from the head. The meeting place could be anywhere in the body frame

3. When you require a high degree of inner strength and focus, black is the colour that helps; you can concentrate and zoom in on a question, say a math or other issue

4. Black works in two ways depending on the person who wear; for some it attracts bad vibration (see under Bad); for some it repels black magic. You have heard about diamond cutting diamond; same thing prevails in black magic and spells. By wearing black you counter the effects of bad vibes. This is the reason why exorcists throughout the world use white garments with a black coat or cap

5. Black gives you security; women fearing the opposite sex often resort to black cloaks or over-alls to seek refuge. Inside such cloaks or over-alls they feel very secure, but when they are out these they are dead scared of men, a bitter psychological condition

6. Aristocracy and the wealthy wear black over-alls to project authority and awe; but generally remove the black over-alls as they enter their palaces to prevent any bad vibes streaming inside

7. Black gives you authority, power and prestige; it gives you composure, rest and a feeling of slow-tuning zing

8. Oh yes. Black is a definite plus for sex and sexuality; ladies wear black for style and elegance; that is what they say; in fact they do this for inciting sex in men

9. When females wear black it gives them a slim look but when men wear it they get an athletic look

10. Black mixes well with light colours and in such combination black enhances the brightness of the other colour

11. Inside house and rooms black dulls brightness but compensates by giving an ambience of rest, sobriety and silence

3. Bad

Inappropriate use of black colour gives the following negative cosmics:

1. The word black is often used with bad connotation; black denotes protest, rebel, and the dress code for the hangmen and the ones to be hanged

2. Black is symbolized with death, bereavement, shroud, sepulchre and mourning

3. Black instills the fear of the un-known; the dark side of anything; It resonates well with Evil and Lucifer

4. It also signifies something hidden but important, like black box in an aircraft

5. It gives the feeling of depression, anxiety, loneliness, sorrow; being negative, passive and inundated with lot of pessimism

6. You always get a feeling that you are in “a bind”; something that overlooking you like a CTV camera in a supermarket or something that does not make you move forward

7. It makes the wearer feel aloof, proud and prejudiced like a pea-cock in plumes

8. In the colour personality test developed by Dr. Max Luscher, black expresses the idea of nothingness, renunciation, surrender or relinquishment

9. Al-Biruni, the famous Arab astronomer dismissed black as the colour of Saturn and anything connected to this evil planet

10. For some, black attracts bad vibes; genies hang on to their black coats or cloaks and enter houses without the wearer’s knowledge. This is acute generally in the case of women wearing cloaks when they are menstruating.

11. In Eastern cultures seeing menstruating women first thing in the morning (called Mulichi in Tamil), is very bad omen. Besides, if the menstruating women wear black cloaks or over-alls it is double whammy

12. In Hindu tradition the goddess Kali (war) god Yama (death) are dressed in black

13. Black inside home would destroy positive vibration and make it a graveyard

4. Ugly

Over-use of black colour gives the following very negative cosmics:

1. Though black absorbs heat, like inside a black umbrella, it drains the cosmic energy coming from the sunlight; too much black cloaks and over-alls destroys the cosmic harmony of the entire world. Not only that, the over-use of black cloaks and over-alls deprives others who are in the vicinity of the black wearers, the benefit of enjoying cosmic rays.

2. The colour rays that pour down on the earth are for the benefit of the entire humanity. These rays nurture and nourish the earth and its atmosphere. When lots of people wear black cloaks or over-alls, the cosmic rays are blunted and sent back to the atmosphere. This phenomenon creates havoc in the atmosphere as piled up rays tend to break the ozone belt

3. Ozone belt is not only destroyed by the use of chemicals and gases but by the indiscriminate use of black colour. While attempts are being made to reduce the impact of chemicals and gases, sadly, no effort is being made to reduce the over-use of black

4. Black incites the dark and criminal quality of sub-conscious mind. When this happens the criminal element takes the upper hand and men and women are forced to engage in criminal activities to satisfy the dark desires that lie deep-seated in their minds

5. Black also intimidates the people who innocently witness too many people wearing black in their vicinity

6. Finally too much of black destroys the cosmic balance of the earth and its people, a danger that needs immediate attention by the human race.

Seven Stages of Sleep

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

You need sleep; it makes you relax; provides you rest; enables your body to produce and release hormones; repairs body-cells. After a good night’s sleep you awake in the morning as fresh as spring. In sleep you go through a number of stages. Nobody can get into bed and start sleeping soundly, immediately. You go through a cycle of sleep patterns which are called as stages of sleep. In this blog post I describe the Seven Stages of Sleep. First three stages involve body and mind. In the fourth stage the soul enters, but inactive. In the last three stages it is the soul that directs operations, pushing body and mind inactive.

A) Body & Mind

Psychologists have studied the process of sleep on the basis of the inter-play between body and mind. They negate a role for the soul. The stages of sleep with the inter-play of body and mind are described below:

1. Stage One: Light Sleep

This is the beginning where you lie down in the bed and attempt to catch-up sleep. The body slows down gradually; muscle activity is low except for occasional twitching. By this time you experience about 50 % reduction in body activity. Brain is active; it sends out theta waves with a speed of 4 to 7 cycles per second. Generally the stage lasts about 5 to 20 minutes from the time you get into the bed. You spend just about 5 % of the total sleep time in this stage.

2. Stage Two: Moderate Sleep

As you move to this stage your breathing pattern stabilizes; heart-rate slows. Muscle activity goes up and corresponds with the brain activity emanating both positive and negative waves. Still the brain sends out theta waves. Overall body temperature increases slightly and your body prepares itself for the next stage of deep sleep. You spend around 25 to 40 minutes in this stage. Overall about 50 % of your total sleep time is spent in this stage.

3. Stage Three: Deep Sleep

As you proceed to this stage your body has slowed down to its barest minimum, with very little muscle activity. Your breathing is fairly rhythmic. The brain sends out delta waves, very slow, from 1 to 4 cycles per second. You spend around 50 to 60 minutes in this stage before moving to the next. Overall, 15 to 20 % of your total sleep time is spent in this stage. Mild, moderate and deep sleep account for 80 to 120 minutes before you go to the stage of dream sleep. Most of the times you will go to and fro, between moderate and deep sleeps before you get into the dream sleep.

4. Stage Four: Dream Sleep

As the name says, this stage is where you start dreaming. You see visions like as if you are watching a cinema or TV show. As a result you have rapid eye movements, where eyes move left and right, up and down; hovering eyes as if you are travelling. Hence, this stage is known as “Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep”. Except for your eyes most of your body is in paralysis. As you start dreaming, the brain releases an amino acid called Glycine that makes your muscles immobile. This is the nature’s way of safeguarding, otherwise while you dream you may tend to act out of it. For example, you dream raging fire in a nearby bush that gives you fright and you run for cover. Physically you can’t run out of the bed because your muscles are immobile, but in the dream you do that.

You will experience this paralysis particularly in the chin to neck area. However occasional twitching of muscle takes place in face, fingers and sometimes in the legs. Your heart-rate speeds up; brain waves speed up. The brain sends out alpha waves with a speed of 8 to 13 cycles per second. Incidentally, you experience alpha waves while you are awake and alert as well. Your body temperature is up. You spend around 10 to 60 minutes in dream stage. You see sequences of dream which last something like 5 to 20 minutes. The sequences vary in time length and in numbers. Overall you spend about 20 to 25 % of your total sleep time in dream sleep.

B)  Body, Mind and Soul

After the dream stage you will step down to deep, moderate and mild sleep and once again the cycle begins. So in sleeping you go through the stages in a number of cycles and wake up in the morning fresh. So far the stages relate to the inter-play between body and mind. At the Fourth stage, that is, Dream Sleep something remarkable happens. The soul enters the equation. If you size up with the soul you can go through the fifth, sixth and seventh stages. Otherwise you have to be satisfied with one to four stages only.

The abode of soul called “Lathifa Ruhi” in Arabic is on the right chest, from where it emits Cosmics in combination of colour rays including the ones in the rainbow. These cosmics are targeted on the abode of mind called “Lathifa Qalbi” on the left chest. These cosmics are in-visible. From the birth time till death a person receives trillions of cosmic colour darts from the soul.

When soul takes command, it departs from your body on journeys outward, temporarily ceasing the emitting of cosmics. Hence, the last three stages are called journeys; mild, moderate and deep journeys. Here the body is placed as if in a coma. Brain emits zero cycle delta waves, too slow to be reckoned with.

5. Stage Five: Mild Journey

In this stage Soul goes on journey in the known universe; it breaks the Time barrier. Soul can travel in timeless fashion in past or future. Soul can see, hear, touch, smell but cannot speak. Soul acts in passive manner, that is, it would not interfere in the activities of others. Furthermore, soul cannot move out of terrestrial (earth) boundary. This stage is similar to the meditation phase of “Shahood” ( Evidence) experienced by the Sufis.

6. Stage Six: Moderate Journey

In this stage the soul goes a step higher, breaking the Time and Space barriers. Soul can see, hear, touch, smell and speak, but cannot taste. Soul acts in positive manner, that is. It can intervene in the actions of others. For example, soul can arbitrate a settlement between two feuding brothers. Moreover, soul would travel in the celestial arena as well – bypassing stars, planets and other celestial bodies. This stage is similar to the meditation phase of “Fatah” ( Victory) experienced by the Sufis.

7. Stage Seven: Deep Journey

In this stage , soul goes much higher, breaking Time, Space and Being barriers. Soul can see, hear, touch, smell, speak and taste. Soul acts in inclusive manner, that is, soul can command as well as carry out tasks. For example, soul can order the angels to save astronauts from an exploding space station and goes to the scene to bail them out. This stage is similar to the meditation phase of “Fanaa” ( Extinction) experienced by the Sufis.

After the journeys are over, soul returns to the body; re-start emitting of cosmics in colour rays. At this moment the brain speeds up delta waves from zero to a positive integer per second. The record of the events in the journey is then implanted into the brain. It is something similar to the use of flash/pen drive for our external work and loading it to the base computer. Consequently, the mind can remember the journeys very well: angels singing, genies squirming and birds serenading.

Gems & Cosmics for Sleeping Disorders

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

Joe, 62 years old war veteran spend most of the night time rolling on the bed trying to get some sleep. When he wakes up in the morning he has slept just about one third of the time in the bed; he has insomnia. Helen 21 years reading for her bio-technology degree cannot sleep in the night but falls sleeping by 4.00 a.m. in the morning. As she has to go to college in the morning she interrupts her sleep consequently she dozes off while in class and falls in her grades; she has “delayed sleep phase syndrome” (DSPS). Tommy aged 42 a car salesman sleeps irregular hours and is suffering from sleep disruption. All of them have one thing in common: Sleeping Disorders. But none of them have taken medical advice let alone cosmic advice. In the long-run they would develop serious complications in health and life-style. In this blog post I describe sleep and sleeping disorders; I recommend the gems & crystals for the use of specific type of disorders and the Cosmics to go with, in general form. As usual any recommendation needs to be structured to individual circumstances which are ascertained after finding your cosmic profile.

1. Sleep & Sleeping Disorders

Every person requires good sleep; children sleep for 11 to 12 hours; teens need about 9 to 10 hours which they hardly get; adults require about 7 to 8 hours which they neglect. At sleep your systems in the body continue to function. It is something like a computer put on hibernation or stand-by mode. Your body works differently; while it slows metabolism, heart-beat and blood-pressure, it continues its function of producing & releasing hormones and replacing body cells. In the case of children and teens it makes them grow, while in the case of adults it strengthens their systems. When you do not get the necessary sleep this function is impaired. Not only that, you head for sleeping disorders. The sleeping disorders are broadly grouped under three categories. Insomnia, Hypersomnia and Disruptions.

2. Insomnia

It is defined as inability to fall sleep and while at sleep inability to maintain sleep for a reasonable time. Symptoms include, waking –up frequently, arising in early hours and no sleep thereafter, sleep not giving you feeling of freshness in the morning, feeling tired and exhausted, painful eyes, giddiness, head-ache, nervous break-down etc. Insomnia accounts for nearly 70 % of the sleeping disorders. The incidence is much pronounced in the case of seniors over 40 years of age and those who suffer from chronic ailments such arthritis and diabetes.

Fear, anxiety, stress, medication, excessive caffeine, pain are general causes for this condition. Life-style changes such as longer night-life, over-stimulation of mind by watching films and erotic scenes, physical exertion such as gym work or walking in the late evenings, taking after-noon siesta are specific causes for sleeping ailments. Special situations such as pregnancy, depression, chronic ailments also cause this malady.

The following Gems & Crystals are recommended for Insomnia:

2.1 General Insomnia

* Under the pillow: keep Clear quartz for adults and Amethyst for those under 21 years of age

* Wear as pendent or Ring: Sodalite (pure blue) or Zircon (blue or colourless)

2.2 Delayed Sleep Phased Syndrome (DSPS)

Affecting teenagers and adults alike, the syndrome makes you sleep best in the wee hours rather than in the night-fall, mainly due to the internal body clock working opposite to the external time piece on the wall.

* Wear Unakite as pendent when retiring to bed

* Wear Labradorite as pendent continually, but test after every 21 days to track down your sleep patterns. If you sleep more lay it off for few days and re-commence thereafter

2.3 Psychological issues

* Either use Green Jasper or Opalite Jasper (also known as ice-cream opal – with a combination of purple, lavender and white colours)

2.4 Physiological issues

* Either use Deep-Green malachite or Turquoise

2.5 Medical issues

Occurs when the body is no longer receptive to sedatives (sleeping pills) and stimulants

· Either Azurite or Lapis lazuli (also known as lazurite)

2.6 Nervous issues

* Either Smokey quartz or Hematite under the pillow

2.7 Due to spirits and genies

Cosmically negative vibrations are produced when you are under the spell of an evil spirit or genie

* Wear Hessonite, a brownish – orange garnet or Black obsidian

3. Hypersomnia

This arises when a person sleeps more than it is necessary. There are several types:

3.1 Sleep Apnea

A condition where the flow of air to the lungs via nose or throat is disturbed, usually triggering snore. At some point the breathing is halted with a sudden attempt made to revive breathing. Generally it affects seniors past 50 years of age. This would make them sleep more.

* Either use white Zircon or white Onyx

3.2 Restless Legs Syndrome

A neurological disorder triggering un-pleasant sensation in one or both legs with an urge to move legs while at sleep. Causes include nervousness, kidney problems, pregnancy, aging factor, deficiency of iron.

* Either use Chrysolite (yellowish peridot) or Sugilite

3.3 Narcolespy

This is a neurological disorder that prompts you to fall asleep suddenly in the day time. It affects students and seniors alike; it is due to the brain taking a rest something similar to heart-attack but with a benign motive, because you sleep for about 15 to 20 minutes at maximum. When this interrupts your work schedule or become malignant it needs attention.

* Verdalite ( Green tourmaline)

4. Disruptions

Basically disruptions occur when you cannot stick to a regular pattern in terms of duration as well as timing. Few of these are given under:

Irregular hours: Blue Chalcedony

Shift working: Green Amber

Excess travel: Rainbow (multi-coloured) or red (pinkish-brownish) Jasper

Short or long Sleeping: Rainbow (multi-coloured) or snowflake obsidian

Lack of dream-sleep: A condition where you have no “rapid eye movement (REM) sleep” that facilitates dreaming. When you get up in the morning you feel as if you have not slept at-all

* Use either Charoite (bright lavender or lilac purple with gray to black veining) or Mercasite

Sleep walking: This is in a class of its own being classified under several disorders including sleeping. Under this condition the person while at sleep is engaged in actions such as walking and talking as if in the wakeful state

* Use Blue lace agate or Honey Amber along with Snow quartz

5. Cosmics

5.1 Pyramid

Keep over the bed table a Rock Crystal Pyramid or a Howlite Pyramid as shown below; The rock Crystal shall be 60 mm height; in case of Howlite go for 2 inch by 2 inch bottom.

Crystal Pyramid

5.2. Postures

Yoga-asanas (postures) are very useful in tackling sleeping disorders. A general all-purpose asana is the Bala-asana ( child) which relaxes your muscle and brain simultaneously. On the other hand Shava-asana( corpse) is much suitable for insomnia, making your body motionless and mind relaxed. You must do this few minutes before the bed time; lie on the floor legs and hand straight; close your eyes; now start relaxing your legs first by directing negative energy away from it and come upward till you reach the head. At this moment you are in perfect balance with both positive and negative energy. Take care you do not fall asleep doing the asana. Once the asana is over retire to bed promptly.

Shirasa-asana (head) is good for hypersomnia but seniors might find it difficult to perform. If you can, do this in the morning only. I recommend Sarvanga-asana( shoulder) for both insomnia and disruptions. This asana would induce dream-sleep and make you fresh every morning.

5.3. Gesture

A special favourite is Gyaan Mudra ( gesture). Sit comfortably on the floor on Sukha-asana ((easy) or Ardha-Padma-asana (half-locust). Touch the tip of the index finger with the tip of the thumb of both hands and form a circle; keep the other three fingers straight pointing upward. Bring both hands perpendicular to your lungs so that right hand is opposite right lung and the left hand to left lung. Breathe normally; stay for 7 or 14 minutes as you please. Repeat daily both in the morning and just before the bed time.

Caution: you must do these Yoga- asanas only after training by a Yoga expert

5.4. Food

Eat food made out of whole wheat or grams; specially Green grams; Ghee; Green vegetables; Fruits with seeds; onions & garlic; milk and dairy products; Walnuts, Almonds & Oats; Peanuts & hazelnuts; peas & beans; sunflower and sesame seeds; asparagus; Avoid hot and spicy food; no alcohol; absolutely no meat products.

5.5. Colour

Selection of colour depends of each person and his moods and predominant element within him. Your bed–room shall be painted with a colour that is conducive for sleeping well. Generally, purple colour is recommended for sound and deep sleep resulting in what we call “REM sleep” where you tend to dream a lot. Sky-blue colour acts as calming and cooling agent whereas red stimulates by generating hot waves. Orange and sea-green are in the middle course. Seniors need light yellow more than other colours.

5.6 Bath

Depending on your nature and predominant element within you, you can take a cold or warm bath before the bed-time on alternate days. Use either of the combination below:

Combination one: few drops of Rose and Geranium oil

Combination two: few drops of Patchouli and Lemon oil

5.7. Aroma

I strongly suggest the use of aroma in your bed-room moments before you retire to bed. Use Air-freshener or Humidifier or Potpourri. The latter is made of glass; underneath you will find a place for a candle or electrical light. Pour water to the dish over Humidifier or Potpourri and heat it gradually. Thereafter, sprinkle the recommended aromatic oil

* For ladies: Lavender & Neroli on alternate nights

* For Men: Chamomile & lemongrass on alternate nights

5.8 General Tips

* Wear comfortable preferably cotton clothes

* Keep the bed room tidy, quiet, airy with appropriate temperature

* Listen to soft music and view natural scenery before sleep

* Take it easy

6 Cosmic Solution for you

The list of recommendation given above is of general nature to be followed by you. There are more than 100 sleeping disorders and all of these cannot be covered in the blog post. To suit to individual circumstances, and to focus on specific disorder it is necessary to provide tailor-made recommendations including measures and quantity, timing and stages along with other pointers, to enable you to get cure and cosmic harmony. For that your cosmic profile is a pre-condition. To prepare such a profile your time, date and place of birth along with your name and that of your mother are required.

Gems & Cosmics for Menstrual Disorders

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

 

Most women suffer silently from menstrual disorders in some stage of their lives. Beginning at the age of 12 to 13 when they are budding girls, the menstrual flow otherwise known as menses or period recurs almost monthly till they reach menopause generally after 45 years of age. Normally the menstrual cycle lasts 7 days: two days for the on-set, three days for the flow and two days to wrap-up. In many cultures this cycle is linked to the lunation cycle of the moon. The lucky women have a perfect cycle of 7 days with less pain, less bleeding and at the end of the cycle a feeling of rejuvenation, mirth and lot of zing. But that is only a dream for many. In most cases they have complications. When this happens they have menstrual disorders.

To understand the subject of menstruation we need to study the beginning of the menstrual flow known as menarche, lunation cycles, pre-menstrual syndrome and menopause. I shall explain these subjects in future blog posts. In this blog post let me give you some ideas about the menstrual disorders, cosmic solution for menstrual disorders using Gems & Crystals along with Yoga-asanas (postures), Mudra (Gesture) Pranayama (Breathing), Food, Colour, Aroma and Sunlight. However, the need to tweak such solution to individual circumstances cannot be over-emphasised.

1. Menstrual Disorders

Menstruation is the discharge of blood, fluid and mucus from the lining of mucus membrane of the uterus called as Endometrium. Typically, menstruation begins when two hormones in the body of women are at their lowest levels. These hormones are: estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is the female sex hormone responsible for the development and maintenance of reproductive organs. Progesterone on the other hand, is a steroid involved in the menstruation cycle supporting pregnancy. Towards the end of menstruation cycle the ovaries produce more estrogen which is carried through the blood stream regulating the uterus to control the menstrual flow; still the level of progesterone should remain low. Typically the cycle of menstrual period is 28 days in keeping with the lunation cycle. However, cycles between 21 to 35 days are perfectly normal.

You are aware that Hypothalamus a part of the brain controls systems such as nervous system endocrine systems etc., in the body. Acting via the Pituitary gland which is located just at the bottom of it, Hypothalamus regulates activity such as growth, blood pressure and reproduction. Both Hypothalamus and Pituitary gland guide Thyroid gland located in the throat to regulate metabolism and organs connected with menstruation. So menstruation is the constant inter-play of the Hypothalamus and Pituitary & Thyroid glands and the ovaries. When this inter-play is interrupted or the menstrual flow is accompanied with excessive bleeding, pain and cramps it is called menstrual disorders. Medically it is caused either by an imbalance in the hormones, dysfunction of organs, anaemia, stress, infection or general disability.

Cosmically it is caused by the arrangement of the celestial bodies at the time of your birth. In eastern cultures the arrangement of celestial bodies at the time of menarche (first occurrence of menses in a girl) is also taken into count. In these cultures, the puberty is celebrated with the girl segregated for 7 days afterwards a celebration is made with incantation to the Moon. It is significant to note that incidence of menstrual disorders is less in eastern cultures compared to western culture. The inter-play of these vital organs and endocrine system in your body is invariably connected to the Moon and other Planets. The moon is responsible for Hypothalamus, Thyroid and the Ovaries whereas Pituitary gland is under the governance of Saturn. The planet Mars is responsible for blood – stream while Venus is boss of fluid and mucus. Let me give you few examples of the planetary arrangement:

Birth star

If your birth star is Alcyone (eta Tauri) or it is sighted by Mars you will have infection and fever during menstruation

If your birth star is Aldebaran (alpha Tauri) or it is sighted by Saturn you will have excessive bleeding during menses

If your birth star is Algol (beta Persei) or it is sighted by Venus you will have imbalance of hormones leading to havoc

Moon Mansions

If you are born in one of the following moon mansions, you will experience serious menstrual disorders

Al-Dhira (the forearm)

Al-Nathra (the gap)

Al-Tarf (the glance)

Moon days

If you are born in the lunar days of 1, 5, 8, 16, 24, & 28 you will be vulnerable to menstrual issues.

2. Gems & Crystals for Menstrual Disorders

After obtaining medical advice relating to your status and the cause, you can check with this page to find out the gems & crystals for menstrual disorders. The following are gems & crystals recommended for menstrual disorders of different types:

2.1 Amenorrhea

Relates to absence or delay in menstrual flow; if caused by:

Anaemia Red coral + Light opal

Ill-health Rhodonite (pink stone with black veins)

Suffering from Serious infection/ illness- Ametrine

2.2 Hypomenorrhea

Relates to scanty discharge; if caused by:

Anaemia – Red coral + Moon stone of pink tone

Ill-health – Magnetite

Suffering from Serious infection/ illness- Blue Chalcedony

2.3 Dysmenorrhoea

Relates to difficult and painful menses with symptoms including prostration, vomiting, and pain in the groins spreading to waist and/or thigh areas; if caused by:

Inflammation of internal organs Uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes – Rose tint pearl & Rose quartz or Chrysoprase

Nervous issues along with spasmodic pains – Tiger eye (select the stone that gives golden yellow reflection on brownish yellow ground)

2.4 Menorrhagia

Relates to excessive bleeding during the period with symptoms including head-ache, giddiness, anxiety, and pain in the calves. Menstrual flow begins with severe pain in the lower abdomen or back or hip or sometimes in all three places, leading to weak and anaemic condition; if caused by:

Imbalance in hormones – Chrysolite + Moonstone of green tone

Abnormal growth in internal organs – Brown agate + Bloodstone

General anaemia – Jasper + Petrified wood

2.5 Metrorragia

Relates to excessive bleeding accompanied with change in the menstrual cycle with symptoms as in the case of Menorrhagia with menstrual cramps. In addition to the gems & crystals recommended as above use either Chrysocolla or Serpentine in the waist or lower abdomen.

2.6 Oligomenorrhea

Relates to extended menstrual cycle. If this is just after 35 days it may not be a matter of concern; however occurrence after 42 to 84 days requires medical attention; if caused by thin-frame body or over-activeness such as gym work and sports, you can use Olivine as rings or bracelet

2.7 Polymenorrhea

Relates to a shortened menstrual cycle less than 21 days; if caused by heavy alcohol use, night activity or stress, use Pyrope ( red to brownish garnet ) in the right had as rings or bracelet

2.8 Leucorrhea

Relates to abnormal white discharge during menses with symptoms including pan in calves, lumbar region, nervousness, burning sensation, irritation and sometimes constipation or urinary problems, if cause by:

Infection with foul smelling discharge – Lapis lazuli or Aquamarine

Metabolic disorders – Imperial topaz or Amazonite

Hormonal disorders – Moon stone of blue tone

Inflammation of womb after child=birth – Pearl ( rose tint) + Quartz

Displacement of uterus – Orange tourmaline

Worm troubles – Rock crystal

3. Postures

Yoga-asanas (postures) are very useful in tackling menstrual disorders. These postures not only make the body control and bear pain but remove the ill-effects emanating from such disorders, thereby facilitating balanced and normal flow.

During Menses In addition to basic postures such as Tada-asana (mountain), Bala-asana (child), Shava-asana (corpse) attempt Naga- asana (cobra) and Padma-asana (lotus)

Before & after menses.-Hala-asana (plough), Dhanur-asana (bow) and Shalaba- asana (locust) along with boat, forward and backward bend.

4. Gesture

Either stand straight on Tada-asana (mountain) posture or sit on the floor on Padma-asana (lotus) posture and practise the mudra (gesture) known as Yoni Mudra. Form both hands into an almond shape by joining the thumbs that look upward and the rest of the fingers looking downwards. Do this mudra so that the centre of the almond is tallied with your navel. Do this for about seven minutes in the morning and evening during menses and few days before and after the menses. For your benefit I am showing a picture of the Yoni formation.

5. Breathing

You can practise Pranayama(breathing) by sitting on the floor on Sidha Yoni-asana and follow the 4-16-8-8 breathing technique. The procedure is very simple. Close your left nostril by your thumb finger; inhale via right nostril for a count of 4; hold the breath for a count of 16; now close your right nostril. Exhale via the left nostril for a count of 8; thereafter stay without inhaling for a count of 8. This is the first part of the cycle. The second part of the cycle is to alternate the nostril. Now it is the turn of inhaling via the left nostril and exhaling via the right nostril. Once this is done the full cycle is over. Repeat the full cycle for 7 to 14 times. When you start you may find it difficult to hold breath for a count of 16 or being breathless for a count of 8. So start low and build momentum gradually.

Caution: you must do these Yoga- asanas only after training by a Yoga expert

6. Food

Black olives & black caviar are the best food during menstruation. Go for seaweed and the jelly made out of it; dried figs and leaves of the rose plants have more cosmic resonance. Sesame, flax seed and olive oil are best used in cooking and olive oil for application as well. Eat more green vegetables, leafy vegetables and whole grains. Two to three spoons of Sugar cane syrup immediately after you experience a flow is a must. Milk and fruits have to form large part of the diet. Peaches, mandarins, purple colour grapes, bananas are excellent. Pomegranate seeds soaked in bee honey to be taken three times a day after meals. Avoid hot and spicy food; no alcohol; absolutely no meat products.

7. Colour

Medically orange will regulate the circulation of fluid and blood, and the best colour for menstruating women. Wear orange or light brown colour clothes; keep oranges in your bedroom or on the top of the bed. You can mix orange colour in tub with sprinkling of olive oil , drops of either Melissa or Saffron oil and immerse or wash yourself. Orange colour not only rejuvenates you but removes irritation , sense of anger and anxiety; it also makes your sex organs to respond well to medical care and cosmic solution; it gives you confidence, joy and a feeling of belonging. Orange colour works in two ways: one as depression buster , the other as a feeling of elation, you require both very badly in times of menstrual disorders. You know that orange colour is a mixture of red & yellow; red symbolizes personality and yellow represents wisdom. After using the colour orange you will sense a transformation within you.

8. Aroma

I strongly suggest the use of Sandalwood and Saffron on 50:50 bases. You can either use natural perfumery or in the eastern world the Attars. Use the mixture continually during the entire cycle in the morning and just before bed time.

9 Sunlight

Except in cases of Menorrhagia or Metrorragia, take a brisk walk of 14 to 21 minutes in the morning sunlight before or after Yoga-asana work-out.

10 Cosmic Solution tweaked for you

As the above is general recommendation to be followed by menstruating women, it is necessary to tweak the recommendation to suit to individual circumstances because each person is born in a different lunation cycle with different cosmic equilibrium. To do so it is necessary to prepare a cosmic profile. To prepare such profile your time, date and place of birth along with your name and that of your mother are required. Once a cosmic profile is done specific recommendation along with other cosmics such as numbers, symbols,

Gems and Cosmics for Osteoarthritis

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

Osteoarthritis is one of about 100 arthritic disorders affecting so many people around the globe. It is estimated that out of about 100 million sufferers globally, nearly 25 million are living in the United States alone. So far no wonder drug is found for this disability. Medical treatment is anchored upon the concept of pain management. Yet there is no understanding of the role of Cosmics neither in the minds of sufferers nor in the annals of medical research. Surely, for osteoarthritis cure from gems and cosmics is readily available. In this blog post, I describe osteoarthritis, a cosmic solution for it and the need to tailor-make such solution to individual circumstances.

1. Osteoarthritis

Commonly known as “ Degenerative Arthritis “ Osteoarthritis (OA) is a result of series of action taking place around your joints beginning with the degeneration of cartilage, enlargement of the bone, inflammation of muscle, tearing of ligaments , altering of fluid –producing membrane called “ Synovial” and finally ending in the collapsing of the cover or capsule of the joint. Cartilage is a natural, wondrous and elastic substance for the covering and protecting of the end of joints. It acts like grease and shock-absorber put together in the case of motor vehicle. Once the degeneration takes place, the substance becomes lighter and thinner leading to the train of events that are described above.

The rate of cartilage degeneration depends on several factors such as age, gender, heredity, obesity and extreme cold or hot condition. Recently it was found that excessive use of a joint also causes the loss of cartilage steeply. Cartilage is medically referred to as “Chondrocytes”.

There are several symptoms: Prime amongst these is the un-bearable pain, combined with stiffness of the joints. Others include inflammation of the joints, muscle spasm, contraction in the tendons and deformation of the affected area. Some of the areas affected include hands, knee, hips and spine.

Pain management is the focus of treatment with pain-killers and supplements that enhance production of chondrocytes. Supplements include Glucosamine, Chondroitin sulphate and Vitamins C D and E. Depending on the sufferer, pain – management can take place in the following manner:

1. Use of pain-killers. However, continuous use interferes with the body’s natural ability to bear pain and transmit via the nerves

2. Tolerate pain. Sufferers are trained to bear with the pain. However, un-bearable pain can lead to mental strain and traumatic condition. Exercise and rest go with this treatment

3. Comprehensive treatment. In this case treatment would include mixture of pain killers and toleration of pains along with cosmic solution.

2. Cosmic Solution

2.1 Gems & Crystals

The following gems & crystals are recommended for relief from Osteoarthritis:

· General Osteoarthritis (OA) – Choose either of Green Calcite or Tsavarite (Green garnet) or Chrome tourmaline or Jade as base treatment. For specific issues use an additional gem & crystal recommended below:

· OA Non – inflammatory – Cornelian

· OA- Inflammatory joints – Malachite

· Female sufferers – Chrysocolla

· Male sufferers – Amber

· OA with Joint pains – Yellow topaz

· OA with listlessness – Turquoise

· OA with sleeping disorders – Amethyst

· OA with Anaemia – Coral

· OA with nervousness – Blue sapphire

· OA with enlarged bone – Orange calcite or yellow apatite

· OA with obesity – Black onyx

· OA with Trauma – Green aventurine

· OA with blood issues – Magnetic hematite

· OA with stiff joints – Yellow or golden calcite

· OA with weight loss – Ruby or Rubellite

· OA & old age – Charoite

· OA in Advanced stage – Black Tourmaline

2.2 Metals

Metals can be used independently or as along with gems & crystals as outer or holder. I recommend copper with zinc alloy or platinum with chromium alloy.

2.3. Colour

Wear green or light green colour clothes; paint your bed room in emerald or turquoise green depending on the severity of osteoarthritis. Most occultists would recommend green colour for any type of chronic ailments in general. For those who suffer from osteoarthritis the colour green acts in number of ways; it modifies, rejuvenates and soothes your nerves and blood stream; it heals internal wounds and any tearing or laceration; it also regenerates the chondrocytes; it energizes both bone and muscle together. While emerald green makes your skin softer turquoise makes the skin stiffer. That is why I recommended either of the colours to be used for painting your bedroom.

2.4. Sunlight

Expose yourself to the orange sunlight at sun-down for 4 to 5 days. In case your skin is much softer with wrinkles then do the rounds for 3 days maximum per week.

2.5. Food

If you can afford, try to relish yourself on Seashells, which is a natural source of glucosamine. Much of the sea-food does well for you. In case of skin irritations avoid lobsters and prawns. Fish-oil is better for you. Omega fish oil is good for those who are fairly young. Sea weed jelly is highly recommended. Eat more green vegetables, leafy vegetables and lot of spinach, avocado and cucumber. A special item is “ladies finger” a vegetable in the tropics, which however would increase cold. Meat products are taboo. Whole grain and partially ripe green fruits are excellent. There is one in coastal areas in Asia called “Palmyra fruit”. Their inner part (known as Nungu in Tamil) is a panacea.

2.6. Water Therapy

Depending on your body frame you could be affected by either extreme cold or hot condition. Analyse yourself and after finding your status take a cotton cloth soak it in either cold or hot water mixed with few drops of Eucalyptus oil and daub on the affected area in the afternoon before sun-down or minutes after that. You can do this on alternate days.

3 Cosmic Solution tailor-made for you

The above is a list of general recommendation to be followed by sufferers of osteoarthritis. Each sufferer is a unique person and requires cosmic solution tailor-made for him. A specific cosmic solution requires prior examination of your cosmic profile. Once that is done, specific recommendations along with aspects such as numbers, symbols, aroma, incantation of words, direction, behavioural modification etc., are given. Your cosmic profile is prepared only after evaluating the time, date and place of your birth along with your name and that of your mother.
