Lunar nodes arise when the path of the Moon intersects with the ecliptical path of the Sun. There are two types of lunar nodes: ascending and descending. Each node presents opportunities and perhaps threats to you. This blog post details astronomy and cosmics relating to the descending lunar node taking place in September 2010 and gives you few tips for improving your life.
For a general introduction of the lunar nodes please read the link on “Lunar Nodes April 2010”
Descending Node, August 2010
Astronomy
Date: 4 September 2010
Time: UTC/GMT 0.16
Moon Age: 25.0 days
Lunation Cycle: Last Quarter
Constellation: Gemini
Star: The Moon sights star Alzirr (Xi Gemini), a white sub-giant located in the Gemini constellation, precisely on the upper right foot of the eastern twin Pollux. Generally warriors of ancient times wore leather shoes with a knot or button over the upper foot. This might have made Al-Biruni, the Persian Astronomer to call this star “Alzirr” meaning “button”. Astronomers on the other hand call this star as “Xi Geminorium” This star Alzirr is a solo star with a spectral type of “F5IV” with visual brightness of 3.4 magnitude. It is about 57 light years away and 20 times luminous than our Sun. Alzirr is important because it is the last bright star in the easternmost part of the Gemini constellation.
Cosmics
During this descending node the Moon intersects the ecliptical path of the Sun precisely in the gap between the twins Castor and Pollux who are often depicted as seated comfortably. It signifies a relaxed time in between stress and work. No more stress in the business life; by the same token no more tension in the family life. It is a welcome change for everyone who works hard in their career or business and at the same time takes care of his loved ones.
Improving your life
1. Use white, blue and red colour profusely in dresses and appropriately during colour bath
2. As the ambience is hot and dry you must keep your house or office cold and moist
3. Drink plenty of water and fruit juices
4. Go moderate in eating vegetables but feast in delicacies of meat and fish
5. The medical profession must be on the watch as the chance of negligence is high followed by claims for compensation. On the corollary chronically ill patients should not give up taking medicine as the chance of major failure is forecast
6. Good time to buy gems & crystals along with gold jewellery for women
7. Real estate picks up and those who invest in this sector could be better off
8. Button-up and be ready for travel or elevation in your career
9. Soccer celebrities playing in league matches in Europe or elsewhere get better offers for changing teams, though they still run the risk of damaging their ankles specially the right ones
10. Lifestyle changes are forecast heavily for celebrities and moderately for politicians.

Full Moon August 2010 alerts you to the dangers within and without. In this blog post let me explain the details of the Full Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and offer you few tips in improving your life, under the circumstances.
Astronomy
1. Full Moon: The Full Moon appears at 17.05 UTC/GMT on Tuesday, 24 August 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this time.
2. Location: At this time the Moon is located at:
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 22 hour 9 minutes 33 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 7 degree 29 minutes 38 seconds
3. Constellation: Aquarius
4. Illumination: 99.56 per centum
5. Apogee: This is the point where the Moon is farthest to the Earth in its revolution. The Moon reaches the apogee point about 13 hours after the full moon time on August 25 at 5.51 UTC/GMT. At the time of full moon stage, the Moon is about 252,300 miles away from the earth; consequently the pulling power of the moon recedes somewhat
6. Surrounding Planet: Jupiter located in Pisces constellation east of the Moon
7. Lunar Mansions: At the time of Full Moon, it has just arrived at the Twenty-fifth Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Al-Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al-Sad Al-Ahbiyah” which means “the Fortune of the Hidden”. This is one of the 28 lunar mansions and said to be fairly inauspicious
8. Moon Location: At the time of full moon stage the Moon is located on the hip of Aquarius, the Water Carrier
9. Star: At this time the Moon is in direct line of sight with the star Sadalmelik located on the right shoulder of Aquarius, the water carrier. The name of this star is derived from Arabic “Al-Sad Al- Malik” which means “the Fortune of the King”. It is the second brightest star in the Aquarius constellation even though astronomer Bayer classified it as an alpha star. Astronomically called as “Alpha Aquarii, Sadalmelik is a yellow super giant ascribed with “G2 I b” nomenclature. Lying about 760 light years away, this star shines about 3000 times luminous than our Sun. It has several unique qualities:
1. Sadalmelik is located almost on the celestial equator
2. The star varies in brightness but so far no reasons for this variability is established
3. The star is a hybrid one in that it is cooler inside with around 6,000 Kelvin surface temperature but at the same time its surrounding magnetic field is too hot to form coronas
Cosmics
The combined effect of the Full Moon in the circumstances described above gives both positive and negative cosmic results:
Positive Cosmics: Urge to compete and win; Feeling of “ déjà vu” ; putting up lot of airs; prominence along with delight; more love and friendship; Tree and harvest is the underlying theme; thinking global; nagging problems are getting solved
Negative Cosmics: Dry and hot outside but cold and moist inside means you cannot balance internal and external dimensions; imbalance in family and business issues; beware of “ femme fatale”; downswing in family relationship; disharmony among children; body aches and health issues frustrate you; stress on meeting targets, none the less slow and steady wins the race; illusions are all over
Improving Your Life
The effect of the full Moon lasts generally for a fortnight till the next New Moon; I am giving few tips for improving your life till then:
Family
1. You can argue and win; but that leaves matters in bad taste; so avoid contest within family and definitely do not tango with your wife on critical issues
2. Pregnancy and child bearing undergoes severe stress these days; so take care
3. Health and personal hygiene need more attention
Business
1. If you are in politics and administration do not get confused by illusions; any bad step would bring calamity to everyone concerned. If you are in large corporate world you are bound to do well. Airlines and aviation industry looks prettier.
2. Small and Medium businesses should keep their stock level much lower and refrain from re-ordering stocks
3. Functionally departments are not coordinating well during this phase. Marketing and operations might not see eye to eye; it is better to avoid any misunderstanding and over lap of responsibilities
Lifestyle
1. Not a good time for love and marriage or for casual affairs; ironically those who suffer from sexual dysfunction see that their situation is changing for better
2. Take care in dealing with women lest wives and associates spin wool around your eyes
3. Use light yellow colour in your dress; eat more yellow vegetables and fruits; vanilla flavour works well. If you have time for leisure visit farm lands and see grains and trees. Go and stay close to trees with large barks; if you feel okay embrace these barks as your loved ones and relax
4. As regards to Gems & Crystals, I suggest yellow gems such as zircon ,beryl, citrine sapphire, garnet, topaz along with amber that enhance positive cosmics. Women can use more gold and less silver

You know lunar nodes arise when the path of the Moon intersects with the ecliptical path of the Sun. There are two types of lunar nodes: ascending and descending. Each node presents opportunities and perhaps threats to you. This blog post details astronomy and cosmics relating to the ascending lunar node taking place in August 2010 and gives you few tips for improving your life.
For a general introduction of the lunar nodes please read the link on “Lunar Nodes April 2010”
Ascending Node, August 2010
Astronomy
Date: 20 August 2010
Time: UTC/GMT 12.13
Moon Age: 10.5 days
Lunation Cycle: Waxing Gibbous
Constellation: Sagittarius
Cosmics
The Moon intersects the ecliptical path of the Sun precisely above the left eye of the archer Sagittarius. From this location we observe three heavenly bodies: one is Star Xi 2 Sagittarius onto the north-east; Star Nunki towards the south and M 22 Globular cluster popularly known as “Facies” onto the south-west.” At this moment of time the Moon comes in the line of sight with M 22 Globular cluster.
Facies or M 22 Globular
Facies due to its prominence has turned out to be a star itself, even though it is one of the big nurseries of stars in the known sky. Reportedly, the first globular cluster to be discovered by astronomers its name Facies is said to be derived from Latin “Facere”. This word means “to make “. Colloquially, the word face is assigned to this cluster as the archer Sagittarius faces this system in the celestial sphere. Located just a degree below the ecliptical path, M 22 Globular or Facies often gets occulted by planets including the mighty Sun. This cluster is ranked third luminous in the known sky and perhaps much closer to us. Located somewhere at a distance of 10, 400 light years away the nursery of stars contain more than 70, 000 baby stars. Moreover, the cluster also contains planet-sized objects some of these are much larger than our Earth. Its dense nature and voluminous baby stars within make M 22 Globular an excellent spectacle in the night sky.
Improving your life
1. Use green and red profusely in dresses and appropriately during colour bath
2. Heart and lungs are susceptible for weakness or sickness; take special care if you are a heart patient or suffer from gastric. Make a beeline to your infirmary and check your pulse, pressure and breathing pattern. Those who suffer from eye related issues should consult their medical practitioners for extra medication or attention
3. Hot and moist temperature can help you rather than dry and cold ambience
4. Accidents or mishaps could arise due to carelessness on your part or on the part of others
5. Avoid travelling in speeding vehicles or motor boats
6. Excellent rime for marketers but not so favourable to production or support services
7. Those engaged in sports such as acrobatics, self-defence and speed boats must take extra caution
8. Overall, good for academicians, professionals and medium to large businessmen
9. Risk taking is appropriate for this season; windfalls are there for those who take calculated risks
10. Balance your time between business and family.

Strange things can always happen. On Friday 13 August 2010, Moon and Venus come in for a close encounter in the sky. Though the date 13 Friday is generally perceived as unlucky, this alignment of two planets brings love and money during this hot summer. Let me give you few ideas about this rendezvous in this blog.
Astronomy
1. The Moon – Venus encounter takes place on Friday 13 August 2010 at about 12.07 UTC/GMT. You have to trace your local time in reference to this time.
2. At this time Venus is positioned about 4.75 degree north of Moon
3. The Moon is 3.5 days old and is in waxing crescent lunation cycle
4. Both Moon and Venus are in Virgo constellation; they had company in the form of Mars and Saturn which are also located in the same constellation
5. Venus had a conjunction previously with Saturn on 8 August and proposes to meet with Mars on 19 August. Hence, the present getting together of Moon and Venus comes almost in the middle of the two episodes
6. Both Venus and Moon are below the pathway of the Sun called as ecliptical path
7. During August Venus is very bright and is seen as an evening planet in the eastern sky
8. Just north of Venus is the brilliant star Zaniah
Star Zaniah
1. Astronomically known as Eta Virginis, this star Zaniah is variably described as blue-white or white or yellow coloured star. Its spectral classification of “A2” suggests that it is a white coloured one. This confusion is occasioned as many observers on earth find blue, white and yellow streaks of colour emanating from Zaniah. This star is 250 light years away and has a magnitude of 3.9. It is a triple star with two companions
2. Zaniah is wedged between the celestial equator and the ecliptical path of Sun. During September the Sun braces past this star. Few planets come close to it; often times it is moon and on this particular date it is Venus
Cosmics
Interesting facts emerge from this alignment:
1. The name of the star Zaniah in Arabic means an angle, which can be interpreted as a turning for better
2. Positioned on the left arm of the Virgin, the star Zaniah symbolizes amusement and enjoyment of life and its pleasures, Chinese treated the star as a maintainer of Law
3. Both Venus and the Moon are positioned on the left wing that hovers over the left arm of the Virgin
4. During this time, the Moon is in the Lunar Mansion of Al-Simak, one of the favourable stations out of the 28 Arabic lunar mansions
Improving Your Life
Few tips in improving your family, business and lifestyle are listed:
1. This is the time for love and enjoyment; under the sweltering heat you have all the options on the table: you can begin romance, make love or simply flutter in merry thoughts
2. Time for fun and frolic and to have absorbing holidays; If you can get into a roller coaster in an amusement park make a dart towards it
3. Even if your kitty is empty do not worry; the fun and pleasure you have during this phase makes you more energetic to make money later
4. Don bright coloured dress; crimson red is excellent for many; blue and scintillating yellow also make the grade
5. Spend time under sunlight in parks, beaches or any or spend time in open spaces open spaces
6. Illuminate your home with blue or yellow coloured light
7. Make your bed room airy
8. Honey and sparkling wine could add to your pleasure
9. Reduce your travel unless it relates to holidays

As you know lunar nodes arise when the path of the Moon intersects with the path of the Sun. There are two lunar nodes: ascending and descending. Each node presents opportunities and sometimes threats to you. Two ascending nodes and one descending node occur during the month on May 2010. This blog post details astronomy relating to the double ascending nodes and a single descending node and gives you few tips based on cosmics for improving your life.
For a general introduction of the lunar nodes please read the link on “Lunar Nodes April 2010”
First Ascending Node May 2010
Astronomy
Date: 3 May 2010
Time: UTC/GMT 12.35
Constellation: Sagittarius
Lunation Cycle: Waning Gibbous
Star: No specific star sighted
Improving your life
1. Use green and red profusely in dresses and appropriately during colour bath
2. Keep your heart chakra in perfect balance; take special care if you are a heart patient. Check your pulse pressure and breathing pattern, unless you are given a clean bill of health you must take care of gastric
4. As much as possible stay in hot and moist temperature so that your body and mind work in perfect harmony; if you have little time do some jigsaw puzzle or other games intended to boost your mind power
5. You should start moving in business and family affairs and dispose matters that have been waiting for your attention
6. You put lot of airs in this season; so guys in marketing are going great
Descending Node May 2010
Astronomy
Date: 17 May 2010
Time: UTC/GMT 15.39
Constellation: Gemini
Lunation Cycle: Waxing Crescent
Star: The moon sights star Wasat (Delta Gemini), a yellow – white sub-giant located in the Gemini constellation, precisely on the right hand elbow of Castor one of the twins. The name Wasat is from Arabic “Al-Wasat” meaning “the Middle”. This star Wasat is a double star with a spectral type of “F0IV” with visual brightness of 3.5 magnitude. Though it is about 59 light years away it is an important star as the Geminids meteor showers taking place during December 8 to 18 with yellow to green stream originates from a radiant north of this star
Improving your life
1. Use green & yellow or blue & red profusely in dresses and appropriately during colour bath
2. Do not act in childish manner when it comes to wants and needs; by the same token do not get into stubborn behaviour
3. Drink more water during the day; less in the night
4. Be flexible and give elbow room to others so that they express their ideas most of these would be profitable to you
5. Good to have company while travelling; invalids must sleep with someone overlooking them during the nights
6. Keep up talking out issues with family members; continue negotiations as regards to business deals; but do not close any deals immediately
Second Ascending Node May 2010
Astronomy
Date: 30 May 2010
Time: UTC/GMT 18.07
Constellation: Sagittarius
Lunation Cycle: Waning Gibbous
Star: The moon sights Nunki (Sigma Sagittarius) on this occasion. The word is of Sumerian origin meaning “Voices from the Sea” The Arabs considered Nunki as one of the “Returning Ostriches” (Al-Naam Al – Sadirah) from the celestial rivers. Located at the vane of the arrow the archer Sagittarius holding, this star is always symbolised as a trigger or the finger on the cock of the gun. This blue-white main sequence star is 224 light years away from the Earth. Its spectral classification is “B2V”. Nunki is a singular star with a magnitude of 2.00 and is the second brightest one in the Sagittarius constellation.
Improving your life
1. Use green & red or blue & yellow profusely in dresses and appropriately during colour bath
2. Continue to monitor your heart chakra so that it does not go out of harmony
3 You are better if you can stay under hot and moist ambience; resultant effects would bring a fusion between your body and fast working mind. Get yourself refreshments such as fruit drinks and avoid aerated water
4. Do not aggravate any situation where you will be blamed as a man who cocked the gun
5. Chances are plenty where you will be pushed around by others. Take care that you stay in moral high ground and do not let temptation play its hands on you
6. Spend lot of time in business, jobs and study and less time with family

Full Moon April 2010 alerts you the dangers ahead as you could be pushed into a corner by overtaking events. In this blog post let me explain the details of the Full Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and offer you few tips to avoid snarls and in improving your life.
Astronomy
1. Full Moon: The Full Moon appears at 12.19 UTC/GMT on Wednesday, 28 April 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this time.
2. Location: At this time the Moon is located at:
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 14 hour 20 minutes 44 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 18 degree 39 minutes 35 seconds
3. Constellation: Libra Virgo border
4. Illumination: 99.93 per centum
5. Perigee: This is the point where the Moon is closest to the Earth in its revolution. The Moon reached the Perigee point on April 24, at 21.00 UTC/GMT when its distance from the Earth was around 228,131 miles. At the time of Full Moon, the Moon has moved away from the perigee point and placed at the distance about 230, 830 miles away from the earth; consequently the pulling power of the moon has receded somewhat
6. Surrounding Planet: Saturn located too far on the North- West in Virgo constellation
7. Lunar Mansions: At the time of Full Moon, it has almost arrived at the Fifteenth Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Al-Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al-Ghafr”, which means “the Cover”. This is one of the 28 lunar mansions and said to be inauspicious
8. Star: At this time the Moon is in direct line of sight with the star Zubenalgenubi located precisely on the middle of the southern or left tray on the scale of Libra. The name of this star is derived from “Al-Zuban Al- Janubiyyah” which means “ the Southern Claw”. Its alias “ Kiffa Australis” which was taken from Arabic “ Al- Kiffah Al-Janubiyyah” meaning “ the Southern Tray” is most appropriate to this star on the basis of its location. Nonetheless the former name stuck. It is the second brightest star in the Libra constellation even though astronomer Bayer classified it as an alpha star. Astronomically called as “Alpha 2 Librae”, this star is a visual binary with another star called as “Alpha 1 Librae” as its companion. In any case these two stars are far apart and do not resemble with each other. The star Zubenalgenubi is a bright white sub giant with a spectral class of “A3IV”. Zubenalgenubi showers white to yellow light along with brightness on the scale of 2.75 magnitude. Located some 77 light years away it is fairly hot star with a surface heat of 8,500 Kelvin.
Cosmics
The combined effect of the Full Moon in the circumstances described above gives both positive and negative cosmic results:
Positive Cosmics: More emphasis is paced on “take care” mode and “wait and see” attitude; less importance is placed on “go forward” lifestyle. Preservation of existing profit and cash-flow during this phase is the key ingredient for success in your business ventures and in managing family affairs. You have to expect something unusual springing onto your face. Clear understanding of issues and problems could prevail. Standards and ethics play a major part in your life. Overall your health improves
Negative Cosmics: Cold and dry ambience outside could make you work harder; results are not encouraging though. Inter relationship with opposite sex could become weaker, sometimes leading to incriminating evidence. More or less fairly bad time in everything you do as downswings are seen in many of the fields. Never the less exploration to space and inventing new gadgets and gismos could fare better.
Improving Your Life
The effect of the full Moon lasts generally for a fortnight till the next New Moon; I am giving few tips for improving your life till then:
1. Show the amber colour to everyone and everything; that is “wait and see till the traffic light turns green” must be your lifestyle during this fortnight.
2. Take care in dealing with the members of the opposite sex lest you get into embarrassment; you have to take care that you do not leave any incriminating evidence resulting from any misdemeanour
3. Even though you are not going to lose temper and flare up take care of your tongue so that you do not slip somewhere that could cause immeasurable damages to you later on
4. For those in politics: time to put an hold on explosive issues and to build a kind of Chinese wall between you and the several interest and pressure groups around you who prod you to make hasty decisions; for those in higher administration in public and private sectors: time to apply standards and norms and keep your decisions legal and binding on others
5. Fairly good time for marketing and operations in line management and bad time for administration and logistics; avoid much of travel out to long distances
6. Women could lead the way in many areas such as business, administration, family and gender issues. They could take frontal seats in equality of treatment or rising against social and administrative injustice
7. Very bad time for romance or getting married
8. Success is shown for those engaged in trading in infrastructure, hardware and solid items and personality improving sphere
9. Any new partnership must be put on the back burner; another nugget: neither borrower nor lender be
10. Either you choose white or rainbow colours in your attire and dress modestly. Consume more honey and kosher wine to keep your spirits up and running
11. If you have little leisure go to places that are above sea-level such as top of mountains or rocks and relax; a special advice to persons who are chronically ill: go and stay close to trees with large barks; if you feel okay embrace these barks as your loved ones and relax
12. As regards to Gems & Crystals, any white gems are good for this season: Diamond tops the list followed by Sapphire, Opal, Topaz, Goshenite (White Beryl) Rock Crystal (Quartz). For ladies I recommend Moonstone (White tone) and Pearls (silver in body colour at AA Lustre) as most apt.

Friday, April 23rd, 2010
When Sun rises in the east it heralds the beginning of the day; there are several names given to this phenomenon: Daybreak, Dawn, Sunrise, Sunup and in colloquial term First Light. In several cultures it is known as the “cock crow time”. Though the time given for sunrise in many almanacs refer to the actual sight of the sun rise as seen in the horizon, the dawn, in fact has already happened.
The Rooster perhaps senses this accurate time of dawn and crows much earlier than the red rays of sunlight bathe in the east. Typically, there are three types of dawns: Astronomical, Nautical and Civil. Let me explain in this blog post, the three types of dawn and the astronomy and cosmics related to these. I also take liberty to suggest few activities that go with each type of dawn so that you can implement and see results in terms of improving your life.
Astronomical Dawn
Astronomy
This dawn takes place 72 minutes before the sunrise time at your locality. Let us assume your sun rise time is 6.12 a.m. By deducting 72 minutes you will clock at 5.00 a.m. This time is known as “Astronomical Dawn”. This dawn lasts from 5.00 a.m. till 5.24 a.m. During this 24 minutes time slot you witness what we call as “Astronomical Twilight” where you cannot see things on earth clearly but would be able to see most of the stars in the sky easily. The streaks of sun light from the upper atmosphere lit up the sky and slowly fall on the earth
Cosmics
This is the time your Rooster starts to serenade, urging you to begin your day at dawn. When cock begins to crow it is not only a wake up call but a reminder that the time is too auspicious for you to miss. At this time the angels descend up on the earth bringing glad tidings to everyone. Their arrival is greeted with the chirp of birds and the twinkle of the distant stars. You feel calm and serenity around you and the whiffing of the fresh air. Your mind is in peace and your heart beats slowly
Activities
Arise from your bed, stack the bedding and pillows, wish yourself a good day, stretch your hands, legs and other muscles, say little prayer or hum some music, thereafter make a bee line to the bathroom. Brush your teeth, gargle out, wash your hand and face, sit comfortably on a chair and gulp 4 glasses of water. Thereafter engage in mild work, meditation or just think about your routine for the day. Depending on the type of lifestyle, your level of activities could range between moderate to busy
Nautical Dawn
Astronomy
This dawn takes place 48 minutes before the sunrise time at your locality. Let us assume your sun rise time is 6.12 a.m. By deducting 48 minutes you will clock at 5.24 a.m. This time is known as “Nautical Dawn”. This dawn lasts from 5.24 a.m. till 5.48 a.m. During this 24 minutes time slot you observe what we call as “Nautical Twilight” where you cannot see things on earth clearly or see the dim stars on the sky but would be able to see most of the stars if you are on the sea in a ship or boat. The streak of light from the upper atmosphere lit up the sky and covers the entire sea and major part on the earth
Cosmics
In addition to the bird chirp you find cats mew and dogs bark and most domesticated animals swing into action. Out there vehicular traffic starts as people are getting about in their daily lives. Your family is up; wife is already in the kitchen, children are getting ready for their day in the schools. As you become more active your pulse goes up so is your heart beat. Your mind is working faster and you have lot to do. The scent of the flowers in your backyard pervades in the air and you get a sense of elation going up in your spine
Activities
If you are an outgoing and workaholic personality you start your business life by shuffling the papers and files in your brief case or if you have not brought these into your home on the previous evening you just allow your mind to wade through the basics and priorities of the office. If you are a health and fitness buff you do your callisthenics. If you believe in inner strength you shall continue meditation. If you are sick you need to take your medicine and few breathing exercises as well. Whatever you do you must bring your body and mind together. Focus on the work at hand and then work for the results
Civil Dawn
Astronomy
This dawn takes place 24 minutes before the sunrise time at your locality. Let us assume your sun rise time is 6.12 a.m. By deducting 24 minutes you will clock at 5.48 a.m. This time is known as “Civil Dawn”. This dawn lasts from 5.48 a.m. till sunrise at 6.12 a.m. During this 24 minutes time slot you observe what we call as “Civil Twilight” where you can see things on earth somewhat clearly and bright stars and planets. This is the best time to view both Venus and Mercury provided these planets are just in the horizon. You can also see bright stars such as Sirius. The streak of light from the upper atmosphere lit up the earth fairly well. As you progress towards sunrise you can see the objects in their perspective along with the colour perception
Cosmics
The animal and plant kingdom is brimming with activities: you see the humming bird; you hear the drone of bees and hornets as they whistle past. The world awaits the day break; crimson red rays of the sun quietly fall on the leaves and fruits over the trees and wade through the waterways. Sirens of vehicles are heard and the tempo of activity in your vicinity continues to rise faster. The breakfast is being made and your family is up and running. You sense the warmth of the Sun and feel that the pulse and heartbeats move to higher bands. You are in best fit with an alert mind and equally toned-up physique and look forward to the busy time ahead in your office or business. There is a sense of belonging coupled with the warmth of the day break; that too happens amidst the clearing of the morning dew. The dahlia you planted few weeks ago is budding and the nearby roses begin to dance in twilight. For you it marks sweet scent of success
Activities
Have your morning coffee or tea as the case may be but definitely not a swig of liquor. If necessary use the bathroom again. After a cursory glance at the morning newspapers you say to yourself loud “I am ready”. Go about your routines and welcome the day!

Breathing well is the key to your physical and mental well being. Follow the easy steps in effective breathing outlined in this blog post and see how your cosmics work for you in enhancing your health and in improving your life.
1. Sit comfortably on a chair; keep your spine straight and the chest up. Relax for few minutes. Hold my hand; I shall take you step by step to master the technique of breathing. Let us begin.
2. First learn to inhale and exhale slowly. Inhale slowly for 4 seconds and thereafter exhale slowly for 8 seconds. Once you master it you can increase the time slot of inhaling by 4 seconds interval. Please note that inhaling is the base measure. Your next level is to inhale for 8 seconds and exhale for 16 seconds; go one step above by inhaling for 12 seconds and then exhaling for 24 seconds. For normal persons this is sufficient. But after mastering this basic breathing technique if you wish to do more you can extend the time of inhaling up to 60 seconds, that is, one minute. Remember always that in this case, inhaling is the base measure and that inhaling and exhaling ratio is 1: 2. Repeat for 6 times for good results
3. Now let me add another dimension: Holding the breath. Inhale for 4 seconds afterwards you hold your breath for 16 seconds and thereafter exhale in 8 seconds; as you practise it well you can increase the time slot of inhaling by 4 seconds interval. Your next levels is inhaling for 8 seconds, holding for 32 seconds and exhaling in 16 seconds; improve breathing further by inhaling for 12 seconds, holding 48 seconds and exhaling in 24 seconds. For normal persons this is sufficient. But after mastering this medium level breathing technique, if you wish to do more you can increase the time of inhaling for 60 seconds, that is, one minute. Remember always that in this case inhaling is the base measure and that inhaling, holding and exhaling ratio is 1: 4: 2. Repeat for 6 times for good results
4. I wish to add yet another dimension: Breathless period. Inhale slowly for 4 seconds hold your breath for 16 seconds, exhale for 8 seconds and go breathless for 8 seconds that is do not inhale for 8 seconds. As you practice this well, you can scale up to the next level; now pitch inhaling at 8 seconds, hold breath for 32 seconds, exhale in 16 seconds and being breathless for 16 seconds. Thereafter you can improve further by inhaling for 12 seconds, holding for 48 seconds and exhaling for 24 seconds and being breathless for 24 seconds. For normal persons this is sufficient. But after mastering this advanced breathing technique, if you wish to do more you can increase the time of inhaling for 60 seconds, that is, one minute. Remember always that, in this case, inhaling is the base measure and that inhaling, holding exhaling and being breathless ratio is 1: 4: 2: 2. Repeat for 6 times for good results
5. You can graduate to using alternate nostrils for breathing in and breathing out. The procedure is very simple. First learn to inhale via the right nostril and exhale through the left nostril. Close your left nostril by your right hand ring finger; inhale via right nostril for 4 seconds; hold the breath for 16 seconds; now close your right nostril by your right hand thumb finger. Exhale via the left nostril for 8 seconds; thereafter stay breathless, that is, without inhaling for 8 seconds. 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 through the right nostril. Close your right nostril by your right hand thumb finger; inhale via left nostril for 4 seconds; hold the breath for 16 seconds, now close your left nostril by right hand ring finger. Exhale via the right nostril for 8 seconds; thereafter stay breathless, that is, without inhaling for 8 seconds. Once this is done the full cycle is over. Repeat the full cycle for 6 times.
But after mastering this highly advanced breathing technique, if you wish to do more you can increase the time of inhaling up to 60 seconds, that is, one minute. Remember always that, inhaling is the base measure and that inhaling, holding, exhaling and being breathless ratio is 1: 4: 2: 2.

Drinking water is too mundane a topic to be discussed in a blog post, so you might think. It is not so. Many of you drink water, and plenty of it. But are you doing it in right manner? This blog post details few tips on how to drink water to facilitate improving your life.
Why should you Drink Water?
Water extinguishes your thirst like nothing else. When you drink water you get nourishment for your system and inner satisfaction which nothing on earth is capable of giving you. Not only that, like diamond cutting diamond water flushes out water. It is like this: your body is made of 70 percent water and at a given time you have a varied quantum of water within you. A part of this water is termed as excess water. If you have excess water, it remains in your body either as still, deep or stagnant water yielding mainly undesirable effects. The only way to flush out this excess water is to drink more water, which once taken in drives out the excess water by way of urination, sweat or faecal matter and rejuvenates the body. More water intake helps all of your organs to function effectively, chiefly amongst these are the kidneys and liver which handle purification, metabolism and other functions. Salt is diluted toxins are flushed out and fat is made soluble by these systems working along with the water you intake. Additionally, your expelling systems work in full capacity enabling you to move your bowels seamlessly and urinate effortlessly.
A healthy and active person requires a maximum of 16 glasses of water where each such glass contains 8 fluids once. However, the normal standard hovers around 8 to 12 glasses per day per person. During hot season you require more water than in the cold season to replace water losses due to sweat or heat absorption. Many of you can drink water just plain; you can also add slices of lemon or lime to savour an appealing taste.
Cosmics of Water
If you have more water in your system you sway others by your speech and actions. Most artists and celebrities have water as their predominant element. Watery person has the ability to listen to others even tough they tend to take decisions on their own. Water helps in intuition, mobility and balance. On the negative side it can make you emotional and tend to act out of your impulse leading to lot of misunderstanding. If you do not drink sufficient quantum of water excess water can stagnate as still, deep or stagnant water and pushes you into cocoon shell as an isolated person. Your active family and business life could be impaired as you start shunning social life. Many of you could suffer from depressions and mood swings as well. Less intake of water gives rise to various diseases and fungus of skin. From an active and leading lifestyle you will be condemned to work on the beck and call of others as a galley slave.
Drink More Water
1. After you awake from sleep in the morning, brush your teeth and then gargle out; thereafter drink one gutful of water that is 4 glasses of water. Allow time slot of 45 minutes to one hour to lapse before you intake anything. If you do this regularly your bowels move easily and toxins within your system are flushed out conveniently
2. Once you reach your office or college, sit down and drink one glass of water before you start working or studying, to re-ignite your system
3. When you return home in the evening after work or study, sit down and drink two glasses of water; allow space of 30 minutes before you intake anything to give you space
4. At normal times you drink during the course of the day, one glass of water on the hour or on 90 minutes interval as the case may be to keep activity and health on even keel
5. When you are sick, drink two glasses of water on the hour for six times during the day; this lessens ill-effects from any type of diseases
6. Whenever you are low in spirits or going through depression take one glass of water add a tea spoon of honey savour with lemon or lime and drink it in three gulps
Drink Less Water
1. Just after swim, shower or bath take 3 mouthfuls of water equivalent to half a glass to get energy flowing into your system
2. Just before the meals intake half glass of water to tune up your appetite; after the meals you must not exceed the quota of half glass of water
3. After engaging in sports or physicals drink half glass of water, have glucose or citrus fruit drink and top up with another half glass of water
4. Whenever you have a fall or injury drink half glass of water preferably with one table spoon of honey mixed with it
5. After taking medicine, unless the doctor has specifically forbidden it, always take half glass of water
Do Not Drink Water
1. Avoid drinking water when your body is bathed in sweat; allow few minutes space
2. Do not drink water inside the kitchen or in front of stove, microwave ovens etc. You should move away from there and spend few minutes before you drink water
3. It is bad do drink water when you are panting a lot due to exercise or walking or due to asthmatic effects
4. Never drink water immediately after engaging in sex acts.

Entry of the Sun into Aries constellation marks a new beginning. It is because when it enters into Aries it completes the annual ecliptical journey across the constellations and come to the point where it originally started. This year the Sun enters into Aries on April 19, heralding good times for all of you. Let me explain in this blog post astronomy and cosmics surrounding this event. As usual, I give you few tips for improving your life.
Astronomy
Long time ago when the Vernal Equinox was in the Aries constellation the Sun used to enter it on March 20. However, due to precession of the Earth the Vernal Equinox point has now shifted to the Pisces constellation. When the Sun enters into Aries constellation on April 19 this year, he has company of both Venus and Mercury who are already there. The Sun is expected to stay in Aries for 25 days till May 13. Aries is one of the seven constellations where the Sun spends less than 30 days. Other six constellations are: Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Ophiuchus, Capricorn and Aquarius. Out of these, Ophiuchus is a non-zodiacal constellation.
Cosmics
The entry point for the Sun into Aries is located at the hove of the stretched left foot of the Ram. Having entered Aries, the Sun moves in a fashion cutting through the lower belly of the Ram. In doing so the Sun passes minor stars such as Omicron Arietis, Pi Arietis, Sigma Arietis and Rho Arietis. The only significant star that the Sun passes in proximity is Botein (Delta Arietis).
The entry of the Sun into Aries is welcomed from the time immemorial. This event was celebrated by different cultures as New Year, Spring Festival etc. Originally Sun’s entry into Aries coincided with the Vernal Equinox giving rise to celebrations such as Nowruz. While most of the western world adopted the tropical New Year on March 20, Hindus adopted the sidereal New Year on Mid-April. However, the actual entry of the Sun into Aries was slowly forgotten. I am rekindling interest on the actual event to bring a degree of awareness about the movement of the Sun in terms of astronomy.
The Sun generates both positive and negative cosmics during its stay in Aries constellation:
Positive Cosmics
Ability to face up challenges; willingness to take responsibility; rising to the occasion, give leadership and make others follow you; always take it to the next level; drive, dedication reinforced by physical strength; unswerving leadership; springing for action at any given time; quality of accepting defeat and try again; sportsmanship; helping others in their need are some of the highlights in positive side
Negative Cosmics
Rashness bordering on arrogance; desperado type action against all odds ending in failure and decimation ; insensitivity to the feelings of others; high degree of action orientation sans thoughts and rationality; impulsive nature; first to draw the gun life-style; stubbornness resulting in ignoring dangers or weaknesses are key negatives
Improving Your Life
The following are few hints to optimize your cosmics:
1. Always put your right foot forward, that is, think right, speak right and act right
2. Control your angst and anxiety; tongue and temper; guts and feelings. This is the time for you to go for the meat, but at the same time do it thoughtfully. This applies in your home with family and at your office with business partners and colleagues. You must also take care that peer pressure does not make you lose balance in dealing with subordinates
3. Best time to implement your plan. You observe within your system a sense of going ahead and getting things done during the period. Translate this feeling into action
4. Expand your lifestyle into ruthless work regime with equally fastidious fun and frolic; in other words bring the energy to flow into your vein and go on energizing others to do at your bidding. You must not forget to reward others for doing their part
5. Adopt a win-win approach in your business and family; ensure that you look at some of the things you have not done for the family, say, paying the arrears of the college fees of your son; in your business life, close the deal in selling some of the items that were slow moving during last few months and be prepared to cut loss so that you can free your cash flow.
6. Those of you who need a wee bit of push and personality must choose uplifting your dress style, and colour choice; improve your style of working with others, for example take your admin for a lunch which was long over-due anyway. Few of the gems & crystals that can flip your turn around in your psyche and physics include Red Coral, Bloodstone, Pyrope (Red Garnet), Red Jasper and Rubellite (Red Tourmaline).

New Moon in April 2010 brings a mixed bag of good and bad results; if the business does well family plummets and vice versa. All depend on how you balance both side of the coin. In this blog post let me explain the details of the New Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and give you few hints for improving your life.
April New Moon
The New Moon appears at 12.29 (GMT/UTC) on Wednesday 14 April 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this.
Astronomy
At this time the Sun and the Moon are more than ten arc minutes apart and any chance of a conjunction is averted. The location of the Sun and the Moon is given below:
The Sun
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 1 hour 30 minutes 35 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 9 degree 28 minutes 40 seconds
The Moon
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 1 hour 19 minutes 16 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 13 degree 57minutes 33 seconds
The Moon on April 9 is at apogee (farther from the Earth) at about 251,655 miles away. However, by the time it reaches the New Moon stage it has reduced the distance to about 244,657 miles away from the Earth. Illuminated less than 1 percent, the Moon cannot be seen by us. Glare of the Sun apart, the Moon’s illumination is too insignificant for it to be recognized.
Location of the Moon
At the time of the New Moon stage, the Sun and the Moon are in the Pisces constellation while Venus and Mercury are located father east in the Aries constellation. The Moon is seen sitting askance to an imaginary line drawn from east to west comprising the M 74 Spiral Gallery to the east the Star Alpherg (Eta Piscium) in the middle and the Moon on the west. It sights a brilliant star 72 Piscium located towards north-west from the Moon.
Pisces Constellation
The Pisces constellation is drawn like a pair of two fishes. The Western fish is horizontal and the Northern fish is vertical in shape. A string connects both fish. Mythologically the Pisces is connected to Euphrates River. In Greco Roman tradition, Aphrodite (Venus) who is Goddess of Beauty and Eros (Cupid) who is God of Love turned themselves into a pair of fish to escape from the atrocious Typhon who is pursuing them and swam unto the depths of water. In order to stay united they tied their tails together with a string. The Babylonians considered the fish as the Goddess Atagartis emerging out of a giant egg from the depths of Euphrates. Turkic, Persian and Assyrian mythology have alluded to the Pisces constellation in similar vein. Pisces is significant today because the Vernal Equinox point lies within it.
Star 72 Piscium
A luminous white to yellow giant, the star 72 Piscium is located 178 light years away from the Earth. Visual magnitude of this star is estimated at 5.64. The star 72 Piscium is classified under the spectral type of F4 II-III. This star is one of the minor stars in the Pisces constellation; its location to the right of the tail of the northern fish is very auspicious though.
Lunar Mansions
The New Moon arises in the twenty-eighth Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al-Manzil al- Qamar) of “Al-Batn Al-Hut” (The Belly of the fish). This lunar mansion is the last of the 28 lunar mansions and deemed to shower mixed results. The lunar mansion teaches you to be balanced in attitude and approach. You like a pendulum would swing between: family and business; risk taking and risk aversion; danger and safety; poor in cash-flow or plenty of money coming and so on.
Cosmics
Both the Sun and the Moon traversing through Pisces constellation help bringing you to the much needed equilibrium. In theory, the cosmics of the Sun as a hot and dry planet and the cosmics of the Moon as a cold and moist planet should lead you to safeguard your balanced approach in anything you do. It is all the more important that the Moon herself is posited in the lunar mansion of the belly of the fish cajoling you to be fair and balanced in your dealings. For students and senior citizens above the age of 60 years it is good time for relaxation as well as concentration. Those who suffer from chronic or severe illness could expect much relief and those who brag of their physical fitness could see their expectations dashed.
Improving Your Life
The following hints are sketched for you to go on improving your life under the circumstances:
1. Learn rope walking; this you do it figuratively, that is always keep your balance till the next full moon lest you fall into dangerous alleys
2. Marital happiness and family unity are major strengths you have in this season; if everybody keeps cool the family ship floats well
3. Do you have travel-crazy lifestyle? If yeas this is your hoped for season; go around your environs and see what is happening there. Both domestic and foreign travels are strongly recommended
4. Mixed bag of results could give you either delight or disappointment; whatever the result may, take in your good stride, hope for the best and put your shoulders to the wheel in steering the course of your business/career and family to successful ends
5. Hot and dry moist ambience prevails outside and you have to keep yourself cold and dry inside
6. New ventures or start-ops should not be initiated during this phase; may be you should postpone it for few weeks. Nevertheless, business in farming, trade and light industry could do better
7. Excellent time for sex and marriage
8. The colour spectrum works on graduated scales without any interruption. It ranges from red, orange, yellow, green and blue and in that order as you see in the prism of the sunlight. You can use any of these colours in your dresses. Get any of these colours into your system in the form of fruits and vegetables
9. The effect of the New Moon lasts for a fortnight in general; for the first week it is intense but peters off as it reaches the Full Moon stage some 14.8 days after the New Moon
10. Good time for educational pursuits and seeking medical assistance; bad time for entrusting money or responsibility to your servants or subordinates
11. As regards to Gems & Crystals, the range is wide; you can use any of these with hope and glee:
Red: Coral, Garnet, Jasper
Orange: Chalcedony, Hessonite, Sunstone
Yellow: Amber, Citrine, Yellow Topaz
Green: Emerald, Jadeite, Peridot
Blue: Agate, Lapis Lazuli, Tanzanite

It appears and then disappears is what you hear when talking about the planet Mercury. Though a bright planet in the sky, its brightness is lost in the glare of the Sun. Even then the planet has a big role to play in your life. This blog post details facts about Mercury in terms of Astronomy, Legend and Cosmics to enable you to understand Mercury better.
Astronomy
Important astronomy facts of Mercury are given below:
1. Mercury is not a planet that you can view easily; it is there and the next moment it has gone; appears and then disappears the planet got several rubrics such as “elusive planet” “unpredictable planet” and “quicksilver”. There are several reasons for this phenomenon:
# Mercury is too small with a diameter of just 3.032 miles at the centre, something like two fifth of the diameter of the Earth; besides it is somewhat similar to our Moon in size but orbiting much closer to the Sun
# It is in fact the closest planet to the Sun in the planetary kingdom; on average its distance from the Sun is about 36 million miles; at the furthest point in orbit Mercury is around 43.3 million miles away from the Sun whereas at the closest point to the Sun the distance is around 28.6 million miles
# Mercury either rises just before the sunrise low in the east or just after the sunset low in the west
2. Mercury takes about 88 earth days to orbit around the Sun; in doing so it rotates on its axis once in 58.6 days
3. Mercury is the swiftest in the planetary kingdom moving with a speed of 30 miles per second
4. Mercury is too hot, hotter than Venus; in its close proximity to the Sun its temperature hovers around 450 degrees in centigrade while in furthest distance from the Sun its temperature clicks around minus 170 degrees of centigrade. At its height Mercury’s temperature can melt lead while at the lowest temperature it can freeze you
5. It is too hot and dry on the surface of Mercury; there is no oxygen and no atmosphere; however there is water on its north protected from the deep penetrating sunrays, a wonder indeed. Water without oxygen is useless as plants cannot grow
6. Like our Moon, the orbital path of Mercury is oval shape called as elliptical
7. Mercury is the densest planet after the Earth; a person weighing 100 pounds on Earth would weigh at 38 pounds, provided he can get there
8. Mercury is made of 70 % iron in its core which is partially molten and 30 % silicate
9. Like our Moon, there are caters on the surface of the Mercury, which is otherwise rocky
10. If not for the fact its brightness is lost in the glare of the Sun, Mercury is definitely a bright planet when viewed during morning or evening twilight
Legend
1. Mercury has two names; the ancient Greeks thought there are two such planets because Mercury was seen in east and west on different occasions. The morning planet was called “Apollo” whereas the evening planet was called “Hermes”
2. Mercury is said to contain both feminine and masculine qualities; many cultures thought Mercury as a child known for his truancy. So much so, in the Roman traditions Mercury is God of commerce, trade and playful thievery
3. Mercury is deemed a messenger of the Gods, going on its errands, carrying news; it carried along with it a lighted caduceus (a staff with two snakes entwined around it and two wings at the top) to guide souls to the under world
4. In many cultures Mercury is said to represent, intelligence, intuition, inventions, travel, leisure, truancy, carefree behaviour and childishness
5. All these legends led to the English word “Mercurial” which means someone who is an active and lively personality; someone who changes suddenly and unpredictably; someone whose personality undergoes swings in moods; someone whose mind or temper is fast and at the same time volatile
Cosmics
The position of Mercury at the time of your birth is very important to understand the nature of your cosmics, the hidden aspects within you that can influence your lifestyle and facilitate improving your life:
Firstly, you have to find out where Mercury was posited at the time of your birth. Theoretically, Mercury visits 16 constellations in the sky. In addition to the Twelve Zodiacal Constellations where Mercury spends most number of days it also visits Four Non-Zodiacal Constellations: Ophiuchus, Cetus, Orion and Sextant. Mercury in different constellations means different things for you. Mercury in Gemini can make you an intelligent and smart guy and in Virgo it can make you a fashion and lifestyle specialist. On the other hand Mercury in Aquarius turns you a moody scientist who spends lot of time in laboratory
Secondly, you have to find out whether Mercury was in the sky map of your place of birth at the time of your birth. If so, you have to see whether it was rising, culminating or setting in the sky at the time of your birth. A rising Mercury is a sign of brilliance; culminating Mercury leads you to be an accomplished person with mild manners and an easy going lifestyle; setting Mercury, however, can cause tooth related sickness in you
Thirdly, you have to find out whether any phenomenon involving Mercury has taken place at the time of your birth. For example, if there is an inferior conjunction involving Mercury then your business and family life is often clumsy and cloudy; if there is a superior conjunction involving Mercury then it is good news for your business life
Fourthly, if you are born during the Geminids Meteor Shower, you are an evergreen person who savours success.

Lunar Nodes arise when the path of the Moon intersects with the path of the Sun. There are two lunar nodes: ascending and descending. Each node presents opportunities and sometimes threats to you. This blog post explains the lunar nodes in general astronomy and cosmics and describes the ascending and descending lunar nodes for April 2010.
Astronomy
Around the Earth the Sun traverses on a path which we call ecliptical. This path extends to a year in duration. Around the Earth the Moon travels on a path which we call Moon Path. This path extends to les than a month in duration. The Moon path is eliptical to the Sun’s path in that it goes north and south of the Sun’s path. The highest difference between these two paths is bout 5 degrees in latitude.
The path of the Sun and the path of the Moon intersect in two different points called Nodes. One is the Ascending Node which arises when the Moon travels from south to northward direction and where the Moon crosses North to the ecliptic. Hence, the ascending Node is called as North node. The other is the descending node which arises when the Moon travels from north to southward direction where it crosses south to the ecliptic. Hence, the descending node is called as South node. Nodes are basically in opposition to each other. Generally from one node to the other it takes about 14.8 Moon days. Due to the precession, the nodes change in terms of location. Once in every 18.6 years the Nodes complete a rotation called “Nodal Cycle” and arrive at the vernal equinox. The following picture illustrates the lunar nodes:

Cosmics
Generally ascending node is said to shower good time and fortune while descending node may cause disturbances. Cosmic influence of these nodes has been studied by several cultures and civilizations. Depending on the constellation, star, location of the node and the lunation cycle (lunar phase as popularly known) the degree of auspiciousness or severity of distress as the case mat be, would vary. I give below the details of lunar nodes for the month of April 2010 followed by my cosmic advice for improving your life.
Ascending Node April 2010
Date: 6 April 2010
Time: UTC/GMT 09.45
Constellation: Sagittarius
Lunation Cycle: Last Quarter
Star: The moon sights Manubrium (Omicron Sagittarius) on this occasion. The word Manubrium is from Latin meaning “handle”. This giant star is located on the right eye of Sagittarius, the Archer. Though it is located 142 light years away from the Earth, it has been noted as a star of great significance because its close proximity to the ecliptical path of the Sun resulting in frequently being occulted or overshadowed by the Moon. It is a binary star with visual magnitude 3.70 and spectral type of “K0 III”. This star has an eye catching orange colour
Cosmic Advice
1. Use green, red or orange colour
2. Keep out of harmful rays that can damage your eyes; wearing sun glasses is a must
3. Your breathing pattern could change drastically check your pulse and pressure if you have chronic health problems
4. Better to be in hot and moist temperature that can have balming effect as your mind works faster than what the body can bear
5. You have to be damned practical when handling bosses and colleagues and subordinates as your relationship with them is not too smooth; as regards to customers and business partners lot of things would remain
6. The time of ascending node is one out of million chances as the combination of star, constellation and lunar phase oracles good time and positive cosmics. Moreover, there cannot be an excellent time to start or re-start anything in your life, career, family and business on this day of ascending node.
Descending Node April 2010
Date: 20 April 2010
Time: UTC/GMT 13.38
Constellation: Gemini
Lunation Cycle: Waxing Crescent
Star: The moon sights Mekbuda (Zeta Gemini), a super giant also referred to as “Zeta Gem” by astronomers. Mekbuda and Mebsuta are pair of stars in Gemini constellation, noted for love and vitality. Interestingly Mebsuta is just above the ecliptical plane whereas Mekbuda is just below the ecliptical line. This star Mekbuda is located on the outstretched left leg of the twin Pollux who is an immortal and the son of Zeus. This yellow colour super giant is variable star of spectral type “G3Ibv” with visual brightness ranging between 3.7 to 4.2 magnitude. Even though it is about 1,120 light years away its pulsating brilliance brings lingering sense of happiness
Cosmic Advice:
1. Keep out of swimming or submerging your head under water
2. Always occupy the head table in family dinners and business parties
3. Use light blue or crimson red as preferred colours
4. Take lot of care on your feet, knee downwards; special attention must be paid to your left foot; any injury would have lasting effects even though not fatal
5. Those who suffer depression, fatigue or emotional downswings should take extra care
6. Commitment of financial nature should not be made on this day of descending node.

Easter season 2010 brings a new beginning in your life. Globally it is the time of spring and pleasant air. Personally you are completing the period of prayer and penance and get ready to face a new life. This blog post gives few thoughts that can help you in improving your life.
1. Hopefully, you have completed the period of Lent with fasting and prayer
2. On Good Friday you understand and feel about Lord Jesus and the Passion he has gone through
3. On Easter Sunday, your penitence comes to an end; you imbue yourself with the sense and memory of the resurrection of Lord Jesus; you feel that it is time for rejuvenation and renewal for you and your family as God’s children. Hence, spend the Easter in memory of Holy Jesus, your parents your teachers and all of those who are kind to you.
4. You see in those Easter Eggs varieties of images that remind you the concept of new life, new beginning and decide to take your life purpose forward with hope and enthusiasm
5. You take Monday, April 5 as a day of rest
6. You commence your worldly affairs at 09.45 UTC/GMT on Tuesday April 2010; you have to trace your local time in reference to this time. This auspicious time is one out of million chances and coming immediately after Easter Sunday it showers you positive cosmics and gifts of God. Moreover, there cannot be an excellent time to start or re-start anything in your life, career, family and business on this day
7. Wearing green or red or orange colour clothes and facing the direction of south-east, you can leave home afterwards.

Everyone has consciousness, a state of being that forms his belief, defines his attitude, fashions his thoughts and draws his actions. This state of consciousness is not static but dynamic in that one goes from one stage to the other in ascending or descending order depending on the mental and spiritual development one has achieved or lost as the case may be. In Arabic this state of consciousness is referred to as “Nafs”. There are seven such stages of state of consciousness or Nafs. For simplicity sake let us call this as simply as “Consciousness” as the phrase “State of Consciousness“ is too wordy. Let me explain you the cosmics of each of the seven stages of consciousness with an idea of improving your life.
1. Craving Stage: This stage of consciousness is known in Arabic as “Ammara”. In this state you continue to bring your internal and external dimensions towards the point of achieving your desires, goals and ambitions. Pride, prejudice Impulsion and desire shape your belief and attitude while your thoughts and action could be selfish, rash and of gung-ho nature. Like a pendulum you sway between good and evil. Your aura colour ranges from crimson to spot red. Crimson colour is generated when you are able to manage the basic survival mode popularised by Sigmund Freud as “Id” in a balanced manner; spot red colour is broadcast when you fail to manage the Id
2. Blaming Stage: This stage of consciousness is known in Arabic as “Lawwama”. In this stage your Ego comes into play. You are very conscious of your station of life, your importance and your role in the family, business and society at large. You question the validity of anything and try to relate to your own Ego. You observe and examine everything and everyone around you on subjective manner and take either positive or negative or neutral point of view. If you take positive point of view then you please others, educate them, engage in constructive criticism, focussed on making you and others happy. When you take negative point of view, you criticize others, blame them for the shortcomings of yours as well as theirs; bent on looking at others with contempt; always place you on high moral grounds something like “holier than thou” attitude. When you take neutral point of view you simply do not care what others doing and carry on regardless with what you have. Whatever the point of view is your aura colour is orange and orange it is
3. Inspirational Stage: This stage of consciousness is known in Arabic as “Mulhama”. In this stage your Superego takes the pride of place. While the first two stages were marked by conscious awareness, from this stage onwards you come under what we call as “cosmic awareness”. Your superego guides you to take a stand on what is right and what is wrong. Your central theme is perfection in whatever you do. You subject every person or any matter into objective analysis; you continue to strive for conformity with rules and ethics. You have the ability to handle self examination and evaluate others on even keel. You have sympathy in belief and attitude but always carry a can with you to censure others. To do all these you listen to your inner mind and the outer rims of your soul from where you get all these inspirations. Your auric colour is yellow
4. Tranquil Stage: This stage of consciousness is known in Arabic as “Muthmainna”. In this stage you are cruising on your cosmic awareness. Peace and kindness shape your belief and attitude which is reflected on your desire to be a “do good person”. Your vibrant personality brings many people close to you; you not only in peace with, you but strive to bring peace unto others. Everything looks green for you, brings the pleasant memory. You continue to re-live in hope and confidence bringing rejuvenation in its wake. This stage is where spiritual dawn is breaking out. Your aura colour is green where its ranges in shades including pale green, sea green and turquoise colour
5. Pleased State: This stage of consciousness is known in Arabic as “Raliyya”. In this stage you are cruising at fairly higher levels of cosmic awareness. Faith and hope are the defining aspects of your belief and attitude reflected equally well in your kind thoughts and benevolent actions. You have a great deal of good things such as devotion, friendship sincerity and constancy which you continue to imbibe on others. You are so broad minded that you like to see others progress as much as you have done. You auric colour ranges between sky- blue (Cyan) to spot blue colour
6. Pleasing Stage: This stage of consciousness is known in Arabic as “Marliyya”. In this stage you are soaring at higher levels of cosmic awareness. Your belief and attitude system is based on divine providence guiding you to make your living as useful to others on earth than looking after you. Philanthropy is your hallmark. You are simply wading between secularism and spiritualism. If you plug yourself into spiritualism you continue to soar higher and higher; if you start keeping your foot down on earthy items you will descend and fall like Icarus. Purple is your auric colour
7. Perfect Stage: This stage of consciousness is known in Arabic as “Safiyya”. In this stage you are soaring at very higher levels of cosmic awareness. You are a symbol of perfection, embodiment of the subtle, idol of all what is human. Your belief, attitude, thoughts and action all speak in one voice, the voice of God. To cap it all your aura colour is violet making you a person to be emulated by so many on this earth.

When you relate to your colleagues in your office you consider this as one-to-one relationship. This concept is now found as flawed. Actually there are three relationships: one within you; other between you and your colleagues and another between you and the cosmos. This blog post explains the three dimensions of your relationship to make you understand your cosmics better.
Every one of you have relationship; an equation where you are placed with another person. This is basically one-dimensional. There are more to your relationship than this one dimensional approach. Let me give you a good example. You are in career and you find it difficult to relate to your colleagues, a disability that has been blocking your career advancement for quite sometime. You have gone for counselling, management seminars and your boss was kind enough to give you his time in coaching you how to get away from this nagging problem. Still there are no results. You are exasperated so is your boss. On objective analysis you find that there are underlying issues: one is you as a person; another is how you structure the relationship with your colleagues; yet another is how the stars are influencing you. So you find three dimensions to your behaviour. Understanding these three dimensions help improving your life both in business and in family.
You as a Person
You are not one; there is a trinity within you; body, mind and soul. Each of these functions in different ways.
1. Body is a structure made of bones, flesh, blood and nerves; it has organs, glands enzymes and so on. It can take several forms, dwarf, tall, medium built etc. Within the body there is a current running around; this we call energy; it can take one or more of the elements: fire, air, water and earth with spirit as a connecting or overseeing one
2. Mind on the other hand is a reservoir of emotions, feelings, urges, sensations, perceptions, memories, thoughts, fantasies and intuition. Mind can function in different planes: rambling and in unorganized manner or focussed and in organized manner
3. Soul lies outside these two; it is full of inspiration, devotion, fidelity, friendship, trusts and confidence. Some writers call soul as your conscience; a directive process that distinguishes between right and wrong; moral and immoral
In order to link your body, mind and soul you are blessed with what we call “Cosmics” matters that remain within you but unknown to you. Positive cosmics make your body, mind and soul trinity work to the best of advantage; negative cosmics mar the interactions between and amongst this trinity. Your first duty is to identify the negative cosmics and eliminate or neutralize these; secondly you must enhance and optimize your positive cosmics. When you complete these two steps there would be positive result in your life and lifestyle.
You and Your Colleagues
As I said earlier you are always placed in an equation: you are placed along with another living being, thing or matter, ambience or simply an idea. Let us take the relationship between you and one of your woman colleagues; you have cosmics and she has cosmics. You are fond of giving orders; she detests someone giving orders. Firstly, you have to find about her personality, nature, feelings and level of skills in interacting with others. Secondly you have to tone down your bossy attitude to that of a peer oriented one. Then you must find a via media between an order and a request. You have to hone your skills in communication and inter-personal relationship so as to make an order appear as a honey-command. However, it does not mean that every time you should curtsy her like Japanese do. What is necessary is to go smooth most of the time with occasional pandering for a change.
You and the Cosmos
Every person born on Earth is given a Cosmic Profile. The sky chart that prevailed in his birth place at the time of his birth indicates the alignment of the celestial bodies. These celestial bodies are known as “cosmos” and consist of stars, planets, comets, clusters and other celestial phenomena. These celestial bodies impact and influence you from the time of your birth by shaping, directing and guiding your destiny throughout your life. You have to look at the relationship between you and cosmos and find the right cosmics that work for you. For example if you are born when Venus is rising you must get into business such as music, films, entertainment, arts and leisure. On the other hand if the star Antares is rising at the time of your birth you should join the army.

Full Moon March 2010 chimes good time to people around the globe. In this blog post let me explain the details of the Full Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and offer you few tips for improving your life.
Astronomy
1. Full Moon: The Full Moon appears at 02.25 UTC/GMT on Tuesday, 30 March 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this time.
2. Location: At the time the Moon is located at:
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 12 hour 22 minutes 37 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 8 degree 17minutes 03 seconds
3. Constellation: Virgo
4. Illumination: 99.91 per centum
5. Perigee: This is the point where the Moon is closest to the Earth in its revolution. The Moon reached the Perigee point two days prior to the full moon day, that is, on March 28, at 04.57 UTC/GMT when its distance from the Earth was around 224,860 miles. At the time of Full Moon, the Moon is moving away from the perigee point; consequently the pulling power, in fact, recedes
6. Surrounding Planet: Saturn on the North- East in Virgo constellation
7. Lunar Mansions: At the time of Full Moon, it is located in the Thirteenth Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Al-Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al-Awwa”, which means “the Barker”. This is one of the 28 lunar mansions and said to be auspicious
8. Galaxy: At this time the Moon is on direct line of sight with Sombrero Galaxy known as M 104 and NGC 4594 on the south- east direction. The Galaxy got its name as it appears similar to sombrero hat popularised by the Mexicans and worn by cowboys or riders on horseback to get sun-shade under its broad brim. The sombrero Galaxy is located at some 50 million light years away and is known for its outline of thick dark rim of bright dust lane and a large central bulge, both have given the galaxy great prominence. Its nucleus is said to contain several hundred globular cluster of stars. Recently, it was found that the galaxy has an extended halo. Its red cosmic colour is eye-catching. Though its brightness is around 8.0 of magnitude to us on Earth, considering its distance it must be truly amazing and bright galaxy of the world. The magnificent view of Sombrero Galaxy is photographed by Wendelstein Observatory in Germany:

Cosmics
The combined effect of the Full Moon in the circumstances described above gives both positive and negative cosmic results:
Positive Cosmics: More emphasis on new beginning, expansion and exploration less importance on reasoning and calculation; profit and cash-flow on the rise; time to allow liberties of mind and flesh so that pent-up emotions get an outlet; loosening of limbs is good; time to spend moments with family and friends amidst the busy schedule; indicates decisions are made with a discerning mind
Negative Cosmics: Heat outside and cold and dry inside could sap your energy to some extent; this is extended ostensibly too many of your actions where you cannot bring equanimity between your internal and external environment. If family is doing well business declines; if business goes up family happiness comes down. Loosening of morals must be checked
Improving Your Life
Few tips for improving your life till the next New Moon are given below:
1. Expand your ideas and horizon and bring more joy to your lifestyle
2. Control your cash-flow but at the same time never hesitate to spend for family lest you mar happiness
3. Buy sombrero hat to have shadow under the sun; in similar vein start building home and new venture to give shelter and enhanced cash flow
4. For those in politics, time to be bold and brush away inhibitions and prejudice; this would silence your doubting friends and scare your berating enemies; for those in higher administration in public and private sectors, time to move with the band wagon and sign up on the dotted lines
5. There cannot be a good time like this for both marketing and operational guys; go gusto
6. Women can celebrate their femininity with vivaciousness and those who have sexual debilitations should opt for phallus worship as done in Greek and Hindu traditions
7. Men must engage more in being together with their loved ones; loners must spend little time surveying pictures of maidens
8. Success is shown for those engaged in agriculture, farming and production industry; service industry takes somewhat of back seat though
9. For business men new partnerships or new ventures in basic industry such as food, clothing and durables are best plays
10. Use lot of red in your system: red colour, red vegetables, fruits with red chunks inside are the best for you
11. Go for an aroma bath once in five days; for men Lemon or Juniper on Sandalwood base is recommended; for ladies Jasmine and Gardenia on Sandalwood base could do well
12. As regards to Gems & Crystals, any red gems are good for this season: Rubellite (red Tourmaline) Pyrope (red Garnet) and Bixbite (red Emerald / red Beryl); others include red Spinel, red Jasper, Ammolite, Fire Agate & Fire Opal; those who can afford can opt for Ruby or Sapphire.

Auras are shades of colours generated and projected by you at different levels of your growth and development. Though auras change in shades to reflect the current situations in which you are in the overall trend colour remains broadly in line with the level of physical, mental and spiritual development you have achieved. This blog post explains the seven colours of aura and the related cosmics.
What is Aura?
Aura is a cosmic colour generated and projected by fields of energies located within you. Like smoke arising from fire auras arise from the cosmic energy fields in you. These energy fields relate to cosmic energies arising from your physical, mental and spiritual side. These fields are located in the base chakra, heart chakra and soul chakra respectively. Base chakra is just below the navel; heart chakra is on the left side of your chest and soul chakra is on the right side of the chest. Base chakra is red in colour, heart chakra is of yellow colour and soul chakra shines in blue colour. These colours are also known as basic colours as millions of derivative shades of colours can be generated by mixing these three base colours. Inside the human body these cosmic colours and the respective chakras work in combination to spawn seven types of auras in men. I am explaining the seven auras and profile the personality of men who carry each of these auras.
1. Red Aura
Red is a primary colour and represents the totality of physical energy. A person’s red aura could range from crimson red to spot red depending on the level of physical energies generated. Such people are driven by the mind frame known as Id popularised by Psychologist Sigmund Freud. This mind frame makes them to seek pleasure and avoid pains. Hence red aura is all about craving lifestyle. Based on desire and yearning to satisfy such desire men with red aura shape their internal and external dimensions on basic, animal or survival instincts. Fire as the predominant element props you all the time. Enthusiasm, ability, power and passion along with heightened sexuality are your hallmarks. On the flip side there is anger, rage, violence or don’t care attitude
2. Orange Aura
Orange is a derivative colour from the mixture of red and yellow; orange has the power and personality from red and knowledge and wisdom from yellow. It is a colour that balances yin and yang energy in a typical fashion. Physical warmth together with mental desire projects orange aura within your system. Your mind frame is Ego popularised by Sigmund Freud and your predominant element is water serving you as a floating personality. You are toasted as a result getter, serious business guy and a committed family man. Ironically your main energy relates to your sexuality, as a result you are extremely popular amongst the opposite sex a fact that can cut both ways like a knife. But on the downside, orange is full of contradictions. You get praise or blame the latter more from your own sex; consequently you blame others for your folly or fall
3. Yellow Aura
Yellow is a primary colour; it brings you to the pinnacle of the power of mind. Yellow has the quality of equalizing and collating many issues into a single plane. The colour acts as moderator, equalizer, eliminator and builder. It moderates sex and lust; equalizes your thoughts and actions; eliminates your depression; finally it builds up your energy. Yellow is generated by persons who have Superego mind frame as popularised by Sigmund Freud flying with air element. This makes you soar in thoughts and rational sentiments. You are rule minded and maintain standards and ethics. The negatives have terrible consequences: depression, sickness, swinging moods and rebellion
4. Green Aura
Green is a derivative colour from the mixture of yellow and blue; green has the luxury of power of mind from yellow and the expansive features of the colour blue including Inspiration , devotion, fidelity, friendship, trusts and confidence. Green aura is generated by persons who have their Superego mind frame working in conscious state of mind; besides their predominant element is earth. The aura can range from pale green to sophisticated and silhouetting sea- green or turquoise colour shades. Green embodies rejuvenation; represents peaceful mind; vibrant personality, luscious lifestyle. It represents material betterment and spiritual blessings. You always move in stable manner, calm and quiet believing in your work as a ritual. You continue improving your life in every step you take. The big drawback is green can also means inaction, letting opportunities pass, put it other way “No Show” when something is really needed
5. Blue Aura
Blue is a primary colour; blue is all about soul; it is an expansive and long standing colour too; features that besot blue are endless: transparency, trust, confidence Inspiration, devotion, fidelity, friendship, bond, sincerity and sophistication and more. If you have Superego working in cosmic conscious mind then you will project blue aura. Moreover, the aura ranges between sky- blue (Cyan) to spot blue. Constancy is your hallmark and you make every effort to bring cheer to lives of many whom you come across. A major cons is that you are always cheated by others and by the same token you always pardon them in the name of God
6. Purple Aura
Purple is a derivative colour from the mixture of red and blue; if it is bluer we call it Indigo and if it is redder we call it pink. Can red and blue ever be mixed? Because red is about aggressiveness and instability whereas blue is passiveness and stability. The world need to have both so we have this magnificent colour called purple. When your Superego is at prime condition and your cosmic conscious mind is at heightened state you project purple aura. Purple enables you to wade between secularism and spiritualism; you start to see the hidden knowledge. It can be a test or trap depending on your focus; if you succeed you move towards mysticism; if you are trapped you become an out and out clairvoyant
7. Violet Aura
Violet is a derivative colour from the mixture of red and sky- blue (Cyan); violet the coolest colour of all can read and understand hidden matters like a violet lamp. If you are a person with Superego functioning at the best and cosmic conscious mind at the highest point you generate violet aura. You are an embodiment of the Subtle; a blessed soul; man of infinity. You have perfect control of all your elements. You heal sickness, expel evil, bring forth peace, and energize everyone whom you touch or speak to. You answer the last stanza of the Poem “If” by Rudyard Kipling:
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!

Around 200 million people world wide celebrate Nowruz, the spring festival. Let us join them and celebrate the coming of spring into our homes. This blog post explains Nowruz in general terms and gives a check list of how you can celebrate Nowruz and starts improving your life.
What is Nowruz?
Nowruz is a festival to welcome the season of spring. Originally started in Persian traditions Nowruz is now celebrated by more than 200 million people globally. Earlier, Nowruz festivities commemorated the Sun moving from the Pisces constellation into the Aries constellation on the Vernal Equinox. However, in terms of astronomy today, Vernal Equinox or the movement of the Sun to the point of zero in celestial longitude and latitude is in the Pisces constellation and not in Aries constellation. This year the Vernal Equinox takes place at 17.32 UTC/GMT on Saturday 20 March 2010.
Generally known as the Persian New Year, Nowruz is celebrated in Persian and allied cultures for more than 5,000 years. Considering the fact that Nowruz is celebrated in more than 30 countries, United Nations has accorded its recognition to Nowruz as a holiday of cultural significance. Nowruz celebrations are seen primarily in Iran and countries in Central Asia such as Kurdistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Eastern Turkmenistan (Sinkiang) and Uzbekistan. In south Asia it is a noted festival in India, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kashmir. Turks, Kurds and Armenians join together to make Nowruz a memorable and national day in Turkey even though the Turkish Government does not officially recognize it. Syria, Armenia, Crimea, Georgia and other parts of Caucasus do have various cultural activities lined up for this day. People in Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia and Macedonia in the Balkans also take part in festivities connected with Nowruz. Moreover, diasporas from Armenia and Iran living elsewhere continue their traditions of Nowruz. Followers of Zoroastrar and Bahaullah world wide mark Nowruz as a day of great religious significance. Nowruz is also a day of remembrance for Shiaite sects such as Alawites and Albanian Takkes.
Nowruz is spelt something like 21 ways because of this ethnic and cultural diversity. In Turkey it is Nevruz, Uighurs call it Noruz while Kurds call it Nuroj. Starting from the Vernal Equinox, festivities continue for 12 days and on the thirteenth day people go outdoors to complete the cycle of this annual event.
How can you take part in Nowruz?
The following are few recommendations for you to take part in celebrating the spring festival:
1. Generally you can spruce op your home by cleaning, clearing and arranging and may be giving a face lift. This sprucing is called as “spring cleaning “in the west; this is the time to bring zing into your lifestyle
2. You can buy new clothes for you and your family
3. Flowers and bouquets containing hyacinth and tulip are brought home at the beginning to enhance positive cosmics and for improving your life and that of your family
4. You can light bonfire in your front yard; traditionally this bonfire is lit on the Wednesday preceding the Vernal Equinox day
5. As Vernal Equinox arrives you can lay a table known as “Haft Sin”. Thereafter you can decorate the table with beautiful clothes spread over it and keep few items over the table. Originally there were seven items coinciding with the seven planets; later two more were added. You can select either seven items or nine items as you please; I have given the entire nine items along with the traditional Persian Nowruz names against each one in brackets:
5.1 Wheat or Barley sprouts in a dish, clay or metal pot (Sabzeh) – for rejuvenation;
5.2 Dried fruits of oleaster, or fig or similar tree (Senjed) – for love
5.3 Sweet pudding made form wheat or oats (Samanu) – for affluence
5.4 Few coins (Sekkeh) – for wealth
5.5 Apples (Sib) – for beauty and health
5.6 Garlic (Sir) – for medicine
5.7 Hyacinth plant (Sonbol) for growth and equanimity
5.8 Sumac or multi colour berries (Somaq) – for rainbow and sunrise
5.9 A bottle of Vinegar (Serkeh) – for age, maturity and patience
6. You can keep a fish bowl with golden or colourful fish within to give zest and variety. This bowl can be placed on the table or nearby it
7. Keep few watermelons as nothing is complete in this heated ambience until you have water melons and lot of these with you. We enact the Zoroastrian custom and practice of eating the reddish inner chunks of this great fruit
8. The festivities last for 12 days and end with an outing on the thirteenth day. The following are few items on the agenda:
8.1 On the first part of six days look outward by visiting elders and relations in your neighbourhoods; exchange gifts and presents with them; invite them to visit you and get the cosmics from the table you have laid for Nowruz. It is also worthy to note that the sixth day is the birthday of Zarathushthra known in the west as Zoroaster
8.2 On the second part of six days look inwards by concentrating on improving your life and lifestyle; Young un-married girls should tie grass in knots and tie it on the right wrist to get good husbands; young un-married men could keep honey or candy overnight to be collected on the following day to get beautiful wives. Businessmen could tie coins in a red cloth and hang it to foster business; hyacinth also helps to do the same
8.3 The ending of Nowruz is scheduled on the thirteenth days when your entire family can go out door to enjoy both inward and outward looking. Known as “Sizdah Bedar” meaning "thirteen outdoors” this outing arises from the ancient Persian tradition of twelve zodiacal constellations controlling 12 months in a calendar and anything outside could be calamitous or could bring bad luck; in order to avoid such eventualities you move away from your home. Therefore the entire family goes outdoors to fairly a distant place and spends the thirteenth day there
9. Throughout the 12 days you light an oil lamp at the time of sun down each day; the element of fire is ranked first in the seven elements ancient Persians believed in: fire, air, water, earth, plants, animals and humans.

Of late, quite a number of women are seen wearing black robes as routine dress. Generally black robes were worn by women on formal occasions such as college convocations or as sartorial requirements of careers such as lawyers and judges. Today the incidence of women wearing full black robes has become ubiquitous. How people who are witnessing this change of lifestyle react? This blog post details few such reactions and the cosmics behind such reactions that impair your chances of improving your life.
Reactions
The negative cosmics generated by women in black robes bring forth several negative reactions from people who see them. The following are few of the illustrations:
Illustrations
1. A woman in black robe gets boards a public bus; seeing her a child gets frightened and starts crying shouting “Ghost”; the conductor asks the woman in robe either to remove the robe or disembark; she refuses to do either; the conductor stops the bus and forces the child and mother off the bus amidst the protests of other passengers
2. A bride to be walks into the jewellery shop to buy the bridal jewellery and accessory. The first thing she sees is a woman in black robe; as it is not auspicious to be served by a woman in black robe as regards to bridal wear, the bride to be walks away from the jewellers
3. The blood pressure of a patient is being checked in an infirmary. At this moment a woman in black robe comes into the laboratory. Seeing her the systolic pressure of the patient sky rockets
4. An office worker starts from his home to travel to his office. At this moment a woman in black robe enters his house through the main door; while in his office misfortunes dog him the entire day and when he returns home he is fully dejected and disoriented
5. A shop keeper opens his shop and was occasioned to serve a woman in black robe; his business take out on that day plummets terribly.
Rationale behind Illustrations
1. For many children, women in black bring the image of witches or evil genies; besides scary stories of these witches and evil genies besotting the pages of history spook even the adults. Moreover, when a person sees a woman in black robe his sensory organs tickle the negative and dark side of his memory bringing scenes of death, bereavement, shroud, sepulchre and mourning. Sometimes he also gets an aroma of death in as dried carnation flowers. For most women in black robes instil fear of the evil, the un-known; the menace, the dark side of anything; not to mention Lucifer
2. Most feel a sense of revulsion when they see women in black robes when they embark on auspicious occasions; they see the women in black robes as persons protesting or rebelling against the social order. Furthermore, seeing women in black robes brings un-luck; as in the Hindu tradition the Lady Fortune (Goddess Lakshmi) never appear wearing black colour
3. For those who are convalescing and suffering from chronic illness seeing women in black robes give feeling of depression, anxiety, loneliness, sorrow; being negative, passive and inundated with lot of pessimism. To top it all they are simply intimidated
4. For many, black attracts bad vibes; genies hang on to their black coats or cloaks and enter houses without anybody’s knowledge. 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.
5. Seeing women in black robes first thing on a day brings ill-luck; besides, as in the Hindu tradition the Lady Fortune (Goddess Lakshmi) never appear wearing black colour. Moreover, when you see a woman in black robes, you always get a feeling that you are in “a bind”, something that overlooking you that does not make you move forward.

This year Vernal Equinox arrives on Saturday March 20 chiming with bells of alarm. Dogs of war are chasing some countries; unrest is raising its head elsewhere. For men and women it brings confusion and misjudgement. This blog post explains why you should take care on the basis of astronomy and cosmics relating to the Vernal Equinox.
Astronomy
This year the Vernal Equinox takes place at 17.32 UTC/GMT on Saturday 20 March 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this.
The Sun
On this date the Sun touches the celestial equator at 00.00 degree both in longitude and latitude, as it journeys from south to northward direction. Put it the other way, the Sun is on zero point in terms of Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) and Declination (Celestial Latitude). The word vernal means spring whereas the word equinox means equal day and night as most parts of the globe experience almost similar length of night and day time. Spring is observed in the northern hemisphere while in the southern hemisphere it is fall or autumn. The Vernal Equinox point is now in the Pisces constellation. The Sun is in Pisces constellation along with planets Venus, Mercury and Uranus during this equinox.
The Star: Omega Piscium
On the north of the Sun is the star “Vernalis” whose Latin title means “Star of the spring”. Astronomically, this star is called as Omega Piscium; the alphabet Omega is the 24 th and the last one in Greek alphabet. It is technically the last star in the Globe of 24 hours with the highest Right Ascension (RA) of 23 hours 59 minutes 50 seconds, just about 10 seconds to the Vernal Equilibrium of Zero point of RA. Vernalis is a solitary, dwarf, sub-giant of yellowish – white hue with moderate brightness at 4.0 magnitude. It belongs to the spectral type of “F5IV “. Located some 106 light years away and with a surface temperature of 6,600 Kelvin it is about 20 times luminous as our Sun and about 1.75 of it size. There are three important characteristics of this star:
1. Its location makes Omega Piscium the first star to be seen as one steers toward the east from the famous Circlet of the Fish Asterism in the Pisces constellation
2. It is the last star to be noted before we reach the Vernal Equinox point of zero in the Celestial Longitude and Celestial Latitude
3. Due to the precession of the Earth, by the time of Vernal Equinox of 2013, Omega Piscium would reach the zero pint in Right Ascension and Declination and would be precisely overhead to the Sun; a remarkable event eagerly looked for by all of us.
The Moon
At this moment the Moon has just entered Taurus constellation and has arrived at the third lunar mansion (Arabic Al-Manzil al- Qamar) of “Al-Thurayya” (The Many Little Ones). This lunar mansion is of mixed nature out of the 28 lunar mansions. Whenever the Moon is in this mansion it generates both positive and negative vibrations in equal proportions.
Mars
The way Mars behaves at this time raises eye-brow. Whenever Mars gets beyond the Earth’s tilt it is considered as an “Out of Bound” planet. The current tilt of the Earth is computed as 23 degrees and 29 minutes. Though all six planets theoretically can go out of bound in the celestial latitude known as “ Declination” it is Mars and the Moon that do it often and give rise to tension and head-aches to many.
According to Jeffrey Brock Mars is out of bound from the Earth’s axial degree of 23 degrees and 29 minutes for the period February 13 to March 15. During this period Mars as the God of War reached the maximum of 23 degree and 50 minutes. Please note that March 15 is denoted as “Ides of March”. On the day of Vernal Equinox, Mars has come within the axial degree and is known as “In bound” planet. At this moment its declination is at 8 degree 15 minutes and 29 seconds.
But the danger has not abated yet. Mars is dangerously poised in direct line of sight where it sees to the south west Procyon (Alpha Canis Minoris) also known as the “Lttle Dog” and Sirius (Alpha Canis Majoris) dubbed as the Dog Star. On the opposite side Mars is almost in direct line cutting the star Regulus and the sprawling planet Saturn on the south-east direction.
Accidental war could break out or extreme international tension would prevail for the period from the Vernal Equinox date till about the time of the arrival of New Moon on April 14.
Cosmics
Having analysed the position of the planets the following are highlights of cosmics given under two broad classifications: positive and negative cosmics:
Positive Cosmics: Lot of energy generated within you, even though much of it is dissipated due to extreme hot and dry condition in the ambience. Implementation of plans shall take place during this period. You observe a sense of going ahead and getting things done. You experience increasing tempo within business that commensurate with rising level of business demand; same thing prevails in the family tallying with several family engagements
Negative Cosmics: Fiery nature together with hastiness might mar your progress both in business and family undertakings; Health is medium; stormy mind and restless nature could sap more cosmic energy
Improving Your Life
The following are brief recommendations to help you tide over the situation:
1. Bring more patience into your lifestyle
2. Take it cool; do not let your angst and anger spill over to others; keep yourself out of trouble spots
3. Do lot of breathing exercise; you will be out of breath most of the times
4. Understand how to relax yourself; may be you should take few days off from your busy schedule; may be you should do lot more gardening, mixing earth with water; plant new saplings; uproot dried and dead ones, weeding & spurning etc. For out door activity select visiting mountains or sauntering in fruit orchards or slumbering in woods that bud early flowers
5. Use combination of colours including white, blue, red, yellow along with little black shade in your dress and clothes
6. Take care when you are making judgement, as the chance of negligent judgement is high; a state of confusion, quarrel and disputes is observed; this applies to both in your office and in the home front
7. Busy time for farmers and agriculturists and good time too
8. For those in politics, tendency to take decision on the spur of the moment is shown; for those in higher administration in public and private sectors, avoiding hasty decision is better option
9. Boon time for brokers, intermediaries, agents and those who travel to make a living
10. For women and senior citizen more onion and garlic would be required
11. Relish lot of sweets and sweet fruits; take more radish and eggplant when it comes to vegetables
12. Fruit essence for men is blueberry; for women it is Cherry. Follow the instructions on the bottle; use two to three bottles consecutively

New Moon in March 2010 reflects a great degree of expectations in you about your business and family. What is the chance of these hoped for items materializing? In this blog post let me explain the details of the New Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and give you few hints for improving your life.
March New Moon
The New Moon appears at 21.01 (GMT/UTC on Monday 15 March 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this.
Astronomy
At this time the Sun and the Moon are more than five arc minutes apart and any chance of a conjunction is averted. The location of the Sun and the Moon is given below:
The Sun
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 23 hour 42 minutes 16 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 1 degree 55 minutes 12 seconds
The Moon
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 23 hour 36 minutes 55 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 2 degree 10minutes 34 seconds
The Moon on March 12 is at apogee (farther from the Earth) at about 252,382 miles away. However, by the time it reaches the New Moon stage it has reduced the distance to about 248,897 miles away from the Earth. Illuminated less than 1 percent, the Moon cannot be seen by us. Glare of the Sun apart, the Moon’s illumination is too insignificant for it to be recognized.
Pisces Constellation
At the time of the New Moon stage, there are four planets in the Pisces constellation: The Sun, the Moon Venus and Mercury. The last two planets are to the eastern direction; Venus being much farther from the location of the Moon.
The Pisces constellation is drawn like a pair of two fishes. The Western fish is horizontal and the Northern fish is vertical in shape. A string connects both fish. Mythologically the Pisces is connected to Euphrates River. In Greco Roman tradition, Aphrodite (Venus) who is Goddess of Beauty and Eros (Cupid) who is God of Love turned themselves into a pair of fish to escape from the atrocious Typhon who is pursuing them and swam unto the depths of water. In order to stay united they tied their tails together with a string. The Babylonians considered the fish as the Goddess Atagartis emerging out of a giant egg from the depths of Euphrates. Turkic, Persian and Assyrian mythology have alluded to the Pisces constellation in similar vein. Pisces is significant today because the Vernal Equinox point lies within it pretty close to the star Iota Piscium
Star Iota Piscium
A unique star located on the neck of the western fish, Iota Piscium has a visual magnitude of 4.10 along with a spectral type of “F7V”. It is a white to yellow dwarf main sequence star located about 45 light years away. About 3.3 times luminous than the Sun it is wee bit bigger than the Sun. The star is considered to be unique and enigmatic for the following reasons:
1. It is one of the seven stars that form the Circlet of Fish Asterism. This asterism connects all seven stars from the mouth of fish towards its neck. The stars are: Gamma, Beta, Theta, Iota, Lambda, Kappa and 19 Piscium all in the Western fish within the Pisces constellation
2. Iota Piscium is the star that starts the cord that connects the head of the Western fish to its own tail. Moreover, the cord runs from Iota Piscium to the Northern fish as well
3. Vernal Equinox is located just below the star on the south-easterly direction
4. Lot of expectations about the star Iota Piscium never materialized:
a) It was considered as a variable star but changes of its luminosity is yet to be determined
b) It was considered to have planets rotating around it; nothing was ever found
c) It was considered to have stars in orbit around; still illusionary
Lunar Mansions
The New Moon arises in the twenty-fifth Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al-Manzil al- Qamar) of “Al-Saad Al-Ahbiyah” (The Fortune of the Hidden). This lunar mansion is fairly negative out of 28 lunar mansions, and dashes the hopes of many. Although you see progress in life lot of these could be transient. Cosmic interference in your affairs is heavily pronounced during this cycle of Moon. The severity abates as Sun passes the Vernal Equinox and could disappear completely by the time of Full Moon stage a fortnight later.
Cosmics
Both the Sun and the Moon traversing through Pisces constellation along with Venus and Mercury as partners help bringing you much needed equilibrium. In theory, the cosmics of the Sun as a hot and dry planet and the cosmics of the Moon as a cold and moist planet should lead you to safeguard your balanced approach in anything you do. In practice, it depends on how you face up to the given situations and tone down your expectations. The only area where you can get best results is in your health. If you suffer from chronic or severe illness go full swing and get the best medical treatment. Even for those who have terminal illness, this New Moon could bring hoped for cure at best or mitigation of suffering at worst.
Improving Your Life
1. Like what dig. com says “Patience, my friend, is a good virtue”
2. Avoid family disunity or business break-downs; do not let one spouse bringing the roof down
3. Travel-crazy lifestyle helps if you are going abroad; even for domestic travel it does help taking out the boredom away and keep you away from trouble spots
4. Bagful of expectations need to be whetted during the course of this New Moon; do not get disappointed when hoped for results are not forthcoming
5. Hot and dry climate prevails outside and you have to cool yourself much more
6. Yellow with black border in upper garments is the colour combination recommended for many; women should relish dresses that fuses both these colour shades in top and bottom dresses
7. Modest lifestyle is recommended so as to uplift the sense of patience and neutralize the angst and anger within you
8. Get more of yellow colour into your system: eat more yellow vegetables; savour fruits that are yellowish; sweets and pudding in yellow are ok
9. The effect of the New Moon lasts for a fortnight in general; for the first week it is intense but will peter off as it reaches the Full Moon stage some 14.8 days after the New Moon
10. Good time for educational pursuits and seeking medical assistance; not ideal to start romance or getting married
11. As regards to Gems & Crystals, yellow gems are good for this season: Yellow sapphire, Yellow topaz, Lemon topaz, Citrine, Garnet and Beryl could do fine. Beautiful Agate, Black Onyx, Black Spinel and Rainbow Obsidian are emphasised for those who like black hue.

When Orion rises in the east, his raised arm carrying the magnificent shield is the first thing that strikes you. If you are born under the Orion Shield then your lifestyle is outstanding. In this blog post I am etching out for you few details of the Orion Shield in terms of its astronomy and cosmics.
Astronomy
1. Orion Shield
The shield is located on the upper right of the Orion constellation where the mighty Orion carries it in his raised arm. Pliny considering the significance of Orion Shield described it as a separate constellation. Besotted with great stars in a vertical string the shield is the first to rise in the east when Orion appears after his daily slumber. There are six stars: Bayer classified these as Pi 1 to Pi 6 Orionis. Out of these six stars Pi 3 Orionis is in the west most direction, hence is the first to rise in the east followed by Pi 2, Pi 4, Pi 5, Pi 1 and finally Pi 6 with all of them having the name Orionis behind the respective numbers. It is not surprising that Pi 3 Orionis became the focus of the Orion Shield and subject of study by astronomers for centuries.
2. Common Name: Tabit
Pi 3 Orionis the lead star in the Orion shield was named as ‘Tabit” from Arabic” Al-Tabit” meaning “Endurer”. In Persian the title “Al-Taj” meaning a “Crown” is alluded to this star. Al-Sufi, Tenth century Persian-Arab astronomer ascribed the name “Al- Manica” a corruption from Latin “Mantle” meaning the cloth covering the gauntlet that Orion holds. Other aliases in Arabic are “Al-Kum” (Sleeve of the Garment) and Al-Dhawahib (Pendant). Many later day astronomers described the string of stars as a trophy of the Lion’s hide Orion holds in his right hand. A picture of Orion constellation in Urania’s Mirror published in 1825 shows this presentation. The name Orion Shield, however, has struck as the popular name for the widely scattered group of stars. Moreover, the name Tabit given to Pi 3 Orionis turned out to be the common name for all of the six stars in the Orion shield.
3. Component Stars
The six components stars can be traced between Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) at 4 hours 50 minutes 24 seconds to 4 hours 59 minutes 5 seconds to the east and Declination ( Celestial Latitude) at North 1 degree 43 minutes 44 seconds to 10 degrees 9 minutes 59 seconds towards the north. I am not giving individual tracing locations for these stars due to want of space.
Let me give you some details of the six component stars:
Pi 1 Orionis: Located top most in the north, Pi 1 Orionis is a main sequence white dwarf star with a spectral type of “A0V” with a visual magnitude of 4.60 and located 120 light years away
Pi 2 Orionis: Located second most from the north, Pi 2 Orionis is a main sequence white dwarf with a spectral classification of “A1Vn” with a visual magnitude of 4.35 and located 194 light years away
Pi 3 Orionis: Located third most from the north, Pi 3 Orionis is a main sequence yellow-white dwarf star with a spectral type of ‘F6V” with a visual magnitude of 3.15 and located 26 light years away. It has 1.3 times of the mass of our Sun and is about 3 times luminous than our Sun. It is the brightest among the six stars in the shield. Reflected by the surface temperature at 6,400 Kelvin and rotating 2 miles per second the star gives out tepid orange hue
Pi 4 Orionis: Located fourth most from the north, Pi 4 Orionis is a blue to white giant binary star with a spectral type of B2III _ SB and with a visual magnitude of 3.65 and located some 1,260 light years away. Its companion star is a sub giant as hot as the main star rotating in close orbit. The combined effect of both main and companion stars make Pi 4 Orionis about 27, 000 times luminous than our Sun. The surface temperature about 21,000 Kelvin together with its distance from earth makes the star giving us a faded blue hue
Pi 5 Orionis: Located fifth most from north, Pi 5 Orionis is similar to Pi 4 in terms of spectral type but varies only in terms of visual magnitude a little bit higher at 3.70 and distance much farther at 1342 light years away. The surface temperature of the main and companion stars may be about 21,000 Kelvin. Combined mass is equal to about 12 Suns. The main and companion stars rotate very closely to each other, giving us on earth faded blue illumination
Pi 6 Orionis: Located at the bottom of the Orion shield Pi 5 Orionis is the odd man out among the six stars. It is an orange bright giant with a spectral type of ‘K2II Var” indicating the giant star has variable luminosity. At around 4.45 visual magnitude it is almost a faint star like Pi 1 Orionis. Located some 954 light years away it has double distinction: it rises as the last star in the Orion shield; it is also the only orange star just giving orange hue.
Cosmics
You are considered as coming under the influence of the Orion shield if at the time of your birth any one of the six stars is seen in the eastern horizon or culminates overhead in the sky cast over at the time and place of your birth. If a component star in the Orion shield rises in the eastern horizon at the time of your birth Orion Shield is your rising star and if it culminates at the time of your birth Orion shield is your culminating star. In rare cases, one of the component stars can move in the line of sight of the Moon at the time and place of your birth; if this happens Orion shield is your birth star as well.
Positive Cosmics
1. Orion Shield makes you a giant in the field of your choice: career, business or vocation
2. Orion shield gives you dignity reinforced by strength of character together with physical prowess
3. Great degree of self-confidence marks you as an achiever against all odds
4. You are blessed with two boons: a mind that remains alert and a body that remains agile
5. You have the tenacity to endure tests and tribulation in your family life and business life ultimately achieving the goals you have set for yourself
6. You will do extremely well in any career and business that borders on trading of goods irrespective of size and value
7. As Manilus in his Atronomica says you will have “unflagging energy” to meet with any situation.
Negative Cosmics
1. Over-confidence is your Achilles heal; you will be downed by this quality
2. The significant tendency to use violence against colleagues, friends and team mates is observed
3. Pride and prejudice are two aspects that harangue you throughout
4. The chances of others using you for their own benefit is more than the other way around
5. Improving your life requires that you have an ever doubting partner in the family; that can work as check and balance.

Lot of us dream and seek meaning and interpretation for all what we dream about. It is good to dream because the body and reflexes are relaxed while dreaming. Equally important is that not all dreams are worthy of analysis or interpretation. This blog post explains how dreams are made.
Introduction
Dreams come by the time you sleep soundly; this stage is called dream sleep or technically Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. During this stage you see visions like as if you are watching a cinema or TV show. As a result you have rapid eye movements; eyes move left and right, up and down; eyes hover as if you are travelling. 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.
Structure of Dreams
The dreams are made as a result of fusion between your frame of mind and state of mind, two different concepts that need be understood. Firstly, let me say few words about frame of mind. There are three types of frame of mind:
1. Id: Sigmund Freud described Id as your unorganized personality acquired from birth that is focussed on seeking pleasure and avoiding pains. Therefore Id is the basic mind frame working on basic instincts
2. Ego: Sigmund Freud described Ego as your organized personality that has been trained in several skills such as perception, cognition, execution etc. Therefore Ego is a developed mind frame working on analytical and managerial instincts
3. Superego: Sigmund Freud described Superego as your organized personality that strives for perfection. Therefore superego is a balanced mind frame working on conformity and self – regulation instincts
Similarly there are three types of states of mind:
1. Unconscious Mind: This mind is a reservoir of emotions, feelings, urges, and memories that lie outside your conscious awareness. Some writers use the word “sub-conscious mind “to allude to this state of mind
2. Conscious Mind: This mind is a reservoir of sensations, perceptions, memories, thoughts and fantasies inside of your conscious awareness
3. Cosmic-Conscious Mind: This mind is a reservoir of spirituality beyond your conscious awareness.
Causes of Dreams
1. When Id and Unconscious mind are combined the resulting dreams border on trauma, nightmare and fright. As compensation you do not remember the full details of these dreams once you wake up
Illustration: You go to church rarely. One night you dream that you are going to the church but on your way you see a cobra chasing you. This basically explains your guilty consciousness of not going to the church on previous occasions.
2. When Ego mind frame is combined with Conscious state of mind the resulting dreams take the form of sweet dreams, lucid dreams, and day dreams. You would tend to remember vividly much if not all the details after you come to wakefulness. Here a re-play of the events of the day proceeding the dream time is played out for your benefit. You will receive solutions to any problems or answers to questions which you have faced previously
Illustration: Your girl friend asked you “When you are going to propose to me?” last evening. “What kind of ring I should give her” was the thought running in your mind before you went to sleep. In your dream sleep you are in a jeweller’s shop and your eyes are squarely perched on an oval shaped blue-diamond ring. You felt happy and saw the jeweller winking.
You woke in the morning and as the first thing went down town. Hey! You went to the identical shop and saw the identical jeweller; you bought the ring and indeed the jeweller winked with a broad grin on his face. In that evening your sweet heart was amazed by the beautiful ring and did not mind your muttering. She is all for you now.
3. When Superego mind frame is combined with Cosmic-conscious state of mind you will have dreams dealing with the future. Predictive dreams, telepathic dreams, and prophetic dreams are examples of this type. Although some of these are connected to you many of the dreams are remotely connected with you. Here, you are mostly placed as a medium to interpret and explain the dreams to your family, friends or society at large
Illustration: An election is being held in a country to elect the President. A party supporter dreams that his man who is seeking re-election and who has a commanding moustache is elected on the first night. In the following night he dreams the same vision minus the moustache. The predictive dream is interpreted as follows: the sitting president is to be elected once again but would be badly mauled in terms of his prestige and reputation. So it was.

A sense of foreboding prevails as Ides of March arrives each year. This is the day Julius Caesar was assassinated. All over the world people consider this day negatively. This year too, Ides of March can have unsavoury implications. In this blog post, let me give you some ideas about Ides of March, astronomy and cosmics surrounding it and few words of caution.
What is Ides of March?
Originally Ides of March was celebrated as a day of dedication to the Roman God of War. In Greek tradition he is the mighty Aries. The phrase Ides of March is derived from Latin “Idus Martias” meaning “Half of March”. It was supposed to be a good time till 44 B.C., when Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of conspirators at the feet of Pompey. Julius Caesar let himself drawn into his death after defying three portents that forebode the tragedy:
1. His wife Calpurnia pleaded with him not to go to Senate as she saw several visions on the previous night indicating that great harm to befall Caesar
2. The soothsayer Spurinna warned Caesar “Beware of the Ides of March”. When ridiculed and insinuated by Brutus that Ides of March have come and nothing untoward happened Spurinna said “Ides of March have come, but they have not gone”
3. The priest who carried out sacrifice of birds and flocks for the senate meeting got unfavourable omens each time a victim was put on the altar.
See how the tragedy is linked to the number 8:
1. Julius Caesar was killed in the year 44 B.C.
2. He was stabbed by conspirators numbering 62 led by Casca
3. He had 35 stab wounds on his body
Since this day, Ides of March is considered as a day of debt, disease, decay and death throughout the world. The number 8 too got its bad reputation along with it.
Ides of March 2010
This year’s Ides of March falls on a Monday. I have traced the sky chart over London at 12.00 Noon UTC/GMT and found the following in terms of astronomy and cosmics:
1. The planets Sun and Mercury are conjoined in Pisces constellation; the Sun is at Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) of 23 hours 40 minutes and 53 Seconds, whereas Mercury is at 23 hours 46 minutes and 31 seconds
2. From this conjoining location the Moon is to the west and Venus is to the east located in the same constellation of Pisces
3. Mars is in Cancer constellation sighting the well known open cluster M 44 containing more than 350 red and white stars. This cluster is known as beehive cluster while the Romans called it as “Praesepe” meaning “Manger”. Both Romans and Greeks believed that two stars Asellus Borealis (Gamma Canceri) and Asellus Australis (Delta Canceri) are eating the grass in the manger from opposite sides. This cluster is visible from February till May in the northern hemisphere
4. Jupiter is in Aquarius while Saturn is in Virgo constellations
5. The Moon is in the 26 th Lunar Mansion “The First Spout” (Al-Fargh Al-Mukdim) which is deemed as fairly an un-auspicious mansion out of the 28 Lunar Mansions.
What You Should Do?
Having considered the astronomical position of the planets and star and related cosmics arising from the position, I am chalking out the following recommendations to be implemented by you on Monday, March 15, 2010. By following these recommendations you can keep out of harm’s way. Besides these help in improving your life too:
1. As far as possible stay indoors if you are born under Cancer; or if your birthday falls between July 20 to August 10
2. Take care before you lend money to someone; if possible postpone such lending
3. Any personal items such as a car or mobile should not be entrusted upon others
4. You must postpone any surgery scheduled on this date
5. If you are an investor in stocks and bonds, take a day off
6. Avoid long journeys
7. If you have a lifestyle as casino goer or engaged in gambling or games of chance, give yourself a holiday
8. Do not get into late drinking parties
9. Avoid brawls where you could be directly or indirectly involved
10. Believe in your gut feelings and stop listening to your brain. At the same time guard against getting too emotional on any matter
11. Do not allow you to be led into tricky situations concerning colleagues, friends or customers
12. Avoid going for a date, if this is your first one.

An open face is a great equalizer. Because an open face functions constantly in receiving energy from the environment and giving out energy created within your system thereby balancing yourself as you go on. The moment you cover your face this functionality is impaired. In this blog I am describing how the face carries out this function and the related cosmics arising out of it in order to help you improving your life.
Face
Undoubtedly face is the first thing you see when you look at anybody. Forehead, Eyes, Nose, Mouth, Ears and Neck are vital parts of body located on the face or in close proximity thereto. When all these parts are open to the environment, these work in perfect harmony to one another. These sex parts combined together act as a “Great Equalizer” a function that bestows the human body its health and vitality. Propelled by these six parts, face primarily receives cosmic energy from the environment; secondarily it sends out to the environment cosmic energy produced within the human body; thirdly in doing so it balances the entire process of life and living. The function of equalizing involves six related actions: screening, elimination, moderation, absorption, generation and rejuvenation. When the face is not open to the environment it resembles to a plant that is not open to the Sun; after sometime the plant dries of want of sunlight and before long withers away. Let me jot down how the parts on your face make you a great personality.
Forehead
Using the dual actions of generation and rejuvenation, the forehead shines brighter and holier than any parts of the face. It generates electrical, magnetic and telepathic energy that cannot be properly recorded or verified by any scientific equipment. It rejuvenates the face by lighting it up and has the power to magnetize, mesmerize or, dazzle the ambience. Forehead is known to optimize the spirit element within you.
Eyes
“Seeing is believing” goes the saying. You see through your eyes and understand what is happening around you. Eyes are the first level warning signals you have. Any change in the environment is quickly felt by eyes and transmitted to the brain. Sight and glance balanced together, eyes are the vital organs going complete circle as regards to the six actions: screening, elimination, moderation, absorption, generation and rejuvenation. Eyes are known to optimize spirit, fire and water elements within you.
Nose
Some people are described as “having a nose for something” implying an uncanny ability or faculty to detect or recognize something and turn it into their advantages. Nose smells quickly because it deals with air that spreads faster. Breathing is its primary function; smelling is its secondary function. Except for generation nose handles all five actions namely: screening, elimination, moderation, absorption and rejuvenation. When it comes to generation it spews out the air that it has breathed in or expels water or flam collected elsewhere. You cover the nose when you are sneezing or due to foul air around you. Nose is recognized to optimize spirit, air and water elements within you.
Mouth
You keep your mouth shut when you do not want to say or disclose anything; you cover your mouth when a big yawn hovers around it. Other than these circumstances your mouth is open ready and willing; for example when mouth watering food is placed you tend to relish the sense of taste before you have even consumed anything. If you ask an athlete, he will say that he breathes in via the nose and breathes out via the mouth. Like eyes mouth is so versatile and works the full chain of six actions. Mouth is known to optimize fire, air, water and earth elements within you.
Ears
From the school days, you are cajoled to “keep your ear to the ground” meaning that you must keep yourself well informed about what is happening around you. Primarily ears are listening posts that you possess; secondarily ears feel the pitchy cold or extreme hot in the environment. More than that, ears are the ones that shape our gait in walking; balance us when one leg is raised up; keep us aligned when body position is altered. You balance yourself through the ears because you get a sense of balance through the ears. If you go deep in water the eardrums are affected. A closed ear is a definite calamity. What about a deaf one? Just check with any paediatrician, a deaf child takes much longer to start walking. True enough ears are known to optimize the air element only; but in doing so ears bring you to a stable equilibrium an undisputed fact in medical annals. In sum, ears make you adjust to the environment.
Neck
The Neck is unique as its functions are related to what the forehead and the ears do for you. While ears make you adjust to the ambience neck makes the environment adjust for your sake. Neck is located between head and the torso as a connecting part; similarly neck makes you connected with the environment. Neck analyses the environment and prods you adjust to it promptly and effectively. On the other hand, neck generates, like the forehead, huge amount of cosmic power rejuvenating your entire system. By this process it enslaves the environment and gets the best out of it. Neck gives you agility, flexibility and style. If things go wrong you put your neck out to fight out for your safety and survival. Every now and then, neck gets negative cosmic attacks from the environment and processes these attacks by going through the action steps of screening, elimination, moderation, absorption, generation and rejuvenation. Moreover, neck is understood to optimize all the five elements: spirit, fire, air, water and earth, a feat that cannot be bested by the other parts on the face. Regrettably, covering neck will negate all these cosmics in a single stroke.

You are damned lucky if you are born under the influence of any Trapezium Stars. Out of several trapeziums of stars in the sky, the well known one is the Orion Trapezium. Let me sketch out this trapezium in terms of its astronomy and cosmics. Few recommendations for you in improving your life are also listed.
What is Trapezium?
A trapezium is defined in mathematics as a quadrilateral with no parallel sides. The form can vary depending on the size and shape of vertices within the trapezium.
What are Trapezium Stars?
In the heavens there are several star formations that take the shape of trapeziums. Out of these the famous and luminous one is called “Orion Trapezium” or simply “The Trapezium”.
Astronomy
Orion Trapezium is located in the Orion constellation, in the heart of Great Orion Nebula. Astronomically referred to as”Theta Orionis “and “Theta Orionis 1” it is a cluster of stars forming a visible trapezium. The Four stars that mark the vertices of the trapezium are ascribed the alphabet “Theta Orionis 1 A, B, C, & D”. These four stars as a combination acts like a never failing battery that light up the entire Orion Nebula. Bright and hot, these four stars are binaries or multiple star systems themselves spawning more companion stars. One study traced about 11 of these. Besides, the Trapezium is still working round the clock to create a big nursery of young and brilliant stars called “Orion Proplyds”. About 300 of these could be easily traced.
The Trapezium is the youngest star cluster and very much closest to the Earth. Formed jus below a million years ago, this cluster is located within the Sword of Orion the hunter, in Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 5 hours 35 minutes and 54 seconds and Declination (Celestial Latitude) 5 degree 26 minutes and 38 seconds south.
Some writers call these four stars collectively as “Ensis” a Latin word meaning “Sword”. The lead star in the Trapezium is Theta Orionis 1 C. This bright and whitish blue star belongs to the spectral group of “O 6 “. This star is about 40 times the size of our Sun and 210,000 times luminous than our Sun. It is too hot with 46,000 Kelvin surface heat and located about 1,350 light years away. Although this particular star dwarfs other three stars in terms of size and brilliance, all these four stars put together make the Trapezium a lively sight in the sky. Not only that it lights up the Orion Nebula by giving the energy, heat and brightness through the intense radiation and slashing strong winds blowing at the speed up to 660 miles per second. On average all four stars are in the magnitude range of 5.1 and are located within 22 arc seconds from west to east (right to left) in the order A B, C & D as shown in the picture below. From the picture it is evident that the Trapezium Stars give multi coloured reflection. Though green is dominant other colours such as blue, violet and red do mesmerize.
The Trapezium: Sky Chart & Diagram
http://www.pacifier.com/~tpope/Trapezium_Page.htm
Cosmics
You are recognised as coming under the influence of the Trapezium if at the time of your birth the Trapezium rises in the East or culminates overhead in the sky cast over at the time and place of your birth. If Trapezium rises at the time of your birth it is your rising star and if it culminates at the time of your birth it is your culminating star. In rare cases, Trapezium stars can become your birth star when the Moon figures in the line of sight at the time and place of your birth.
Improving Your Life
After evaluating both positive and negative cosmics arising from the Trapezium Stars, I am sketching few recommendations for you in improving your life:
1. Channelize your un-dying enthusiasm and go- getting lifestyle into viable results in your chosen career
2. Energize whatever you do or whomever you interact with; note that you are a power source, a huge battery
3. Popularize your stature and significance amongst relations, friends, colleagues and others; more with the opposite sex as they tend to idolize you
4. Monetize your programme of actions in career and business so that you rake in millions before others do
5. Ironize when your enemies harm you or colleagues mistreat you with a fitting response; note you are a sledgehammer and no vegetable
6. Lionize in enjoyment of pleasure in family; engaging in charitable actions concerning less fortunate people; guarding ladies under attack from unsociable elements
7. Eulogize when others do the best; note you are the best guy for valedictory function in meetings, banquets or after dinner speeches.

Every now and then you come across the word Blessings and you feign that you have lot of these if not only from the God but from several others whom you consider are important and capable of giving such blessings. Who can shower you blessings and whose behalf? This vexed question is answered in this blog post.
Blessings: Scriptures make blessings the prerogative of God and rightly so. All of us accept that it is the God who has created the universe and the beings within including every living organism. Having done that the God continues to shower his blessings. Undoubtedly, we need the blessings of the Lord for us to play our role as human beings on Earth.
Medium: Since the God does not personally appear to bless you, there has to be a medium found for this purpose. In Greek culture an Oracle was construed as a medium; in many Eastern cultures clairvoyance was resorted to receive the blessings of the Lord. In Hindu Culture, however, beings other than humans such as cobras were venerated in order to receive such blessings.
Message: All these media essentially started to give the blessings on behalf of the God , later as time passed by, developed into giving message of their own as well. Both types of blessings have come to be accepted. While the blessings of the Lord remains supreme, the blessings of those venerated do play a major role in human conduct.
Media Types: According to an old Tamil adage the level of authority in showering you blessings come in a typical scale: Mother, Father, Preceptor and Priest. Let me explain how each of them can pass the blessings of the Lord and their own upon you and in doing so help you in improving your life.
Mother: She is the first human being you come across when you are born; her milk of kindness is the first ever thing you taste as you emerge from her womb. In her you see an undaunted spirit as she goes through the motions of labour in bringing you out to this world. From this time onwards you are clung to your mother whether it is sunshine or rains. So much is said about her flowing kindness that even we call the world as “Mother Nature”. Her love to you cannot be ever priced. Like Mother Nature she lives a long life so much so that she is alive and kicking even you pass the age of 60. Throughout, she is at best a strong anchor and at worst a mild critic. She is the first person you should turn to get the blessings of the God; having done so ask her own blessings as well.
Father: Your love and affection towards your father goes in a see-saw pattern in your life. When you are up till 10 years old, your father remains your strength; he knows best, he is pretty smart. As you pass in age till 20 years you begin to see him as old fashioned and too old to remember how a teen would feel about. Thereafter till 30 years you are not much attached towards him, you feel he knows nothing and most often than not he acts in a clumsy manner. After 30 years you think maybe you speak to him, maybe he has plenty of experience, and maybe he has a winning style. By the time you reach 40 you regret you did not have many inter-actions with him, he is now in the heavens and you have to sort out all these without his presence. So whether your father is living or not it does not matter; seek the blessings of the God thru him and his own blessings too.
Preceptor: The word comes from Latin “Praeceptor” and relates to a teacher, guide or philosopher who is constantly at your side. Ranked third in the blessings hierarchy, a preceptor can never mar your life because he is wont in shaping life of his ward in perfect and alluring manner in keeping with the ideals of human nature and dictates of a civilized society. He can over-ride the negative aspects of your nature, marginalize negative cosmics within you and optimize your positive aspects to grow and glow. If you have done past wrongs to your mother or father or both he is in a position to advise you in correcting those misdeeds and guiding you towards loving them once again. Such is the power of the preceptor, that in Greek and Hindu mythology heroes go to their preceptors first before embarking on adventures, battles or acts of mundane nature. Hence, you should get the blessings of the God thru him and his own blessings very often. Remember a cardinal point: a woman cannot act as preceptor.
Priest: By training they are holy in nature; he is always with the God, serving the God or acts in manner that propagates the will of God. He is a safe person for you to confess all your peccadilloes as he is the best listening post you ever had. He is wise, learned in scriptures and in the art of persuasion of turning you towards achieving your goals and missions. He is circumspect and will preserve your secrecy. His plea to God is quickly answered. Therefore, go to the priest to get the blessings of the God thru him and seek thereafter his own blessings.

Full Moon February 2010 forecasts, good and bad in equal measure. In this blog post let me explain the details of the Full Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and offer you few tips for improving your life.
Astronomy
1. Full Moon: The Full Moon appears at 16.38 UTC/GMT on Sunday 28 February 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this time.
2. Location: At the time the Moon is located at:
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 10 hour 42 minutes 16 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 4 degree 7minutes 53 seconds
3. Constellation: Sextans
4. Illumination: 99.96 per centum
5. Perigee: This is the point where the Moon is closest to the Earth in its revolution. The Moon reached the Perigee point on the previous day, that is, February 27, at 21.41 UTC/GMT when its distance from the Earth was around 222,345 miles. At the time of Full Moon, the Moon is moving away from the perigee point; consequently the pulling power is, in fact, recedes
6. Surrounding Planets: Saturn on the East in Virgo constellation; Mars towards North-west in Cancer constellation
7. Lunar Mansions: At the time of Full Moon, it is located in the Eleventh Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Al-Manzil Al-Qamar) of Al-Zubrah, which means the Mane of the Lion.
8. Star: At this time the Moon is overlooking the star Hydrobius located on the hood of the snake. The Greek word Hydrobius means “Water Dweller”. It is the brightest amongst the six stars on the hood of the snake and considered to be the most potent. Astronomically known as Zeta Hydrae, it is a bright yellow giant with a spectral class of G9III; with a magnitude of 3.11 Hydrobius showers magical yellow light that can make your pulse move faster. Located some 150 light years away, with a surface heat of 4,820 Kelvin, it is about 138 times luminous as our Sun and is about 16 times its size.
9. Asterism: The star Hydrobius is one of the six stars on the hood of the serpent known as Hydra Head Asterism. Other stars in the asterism are: Delta, Epsilon, Eta, Rho and Sigma stars, all of them in the Hydra constellation.
Cosmics
The combined effect of the Full Moon in the circumstances described above gives both positive and negative cosmic results:
Positive Cosmics: More emphasis on rationality and calculation; profit or cash-flow turns out to be the only measure leaving others out; time for intellect and rational mind; more importance of law and order, compulsion on standards and ethics in business or family affairs.
Negative Cosmics: Fiery nature together with imbalance of cosmic energy of Leo and Virgo leads to temper tantrum both in office and in family affairs; Health is generally impaired; caring for others or considering the point of view of others might be skipped with disastrous consequences. Being careless could cost you more.
Improving Your Life
Few tips for improving your life till the next New Moon are given below:
1. Apply brakes in carefree lifestyle lest you make your life miserable
2. Control your tongue and temper, otherwise you are going to make the already bad atmosphere more poisonous; this applies to both in your office and in the hone front
3. Take care of pollution from the environment, as the heat generated could spell physical discomfiture
4. For those in politics, beware of conspiracy and calculated actions of your enemies; for those in higher administration in public and private sectors, you must be careful about giving nods to unsavoury and unlawful projects or actions
5. Good time for sales and marketing guys who are bent on travelling
6. For women ill-health in general and menstrual disorders in particular could be very nasty
7. Time to get married but not time to start a new romance
8. Those in financial markets, such as stock and bonds, you would better play the field widely
9. For business men new partnerships or new ventures in technology are best plays
10. Use lot of yellow in your system: yellow colour, yellow vegetables, fruits with yellow inside are the best for you
11. Fruit essence for men is blackberry; for women it is Apricot. Follow the instructions on the bottle; use two such bottles in this fortnight
12. As regards to Gems & Crystals, any yellow gems are good for this season: Yellow sapphire, Yellow topaz, Lemon topaz, Citrine, Garnet, Beryl and Zircon are generally recommended.

In our school days, we were taught a maxim: failures are pillars of success. To corroborate we were given the famous legend of Robert the Bruce, the King of Scotland, who reigned during 1306 to 1329. This brave king was fighting the war of Scottish Independence from England. Defeated consecutively and pursued by the English soldiers Robert the Bruce, the legend says, hid himself in a cave. Inside the cave he saw a spider spinning a web in the roof of it and was trying to knot from one nook to another. Failures after failures the spider finally succeeded in its effort. Inspired by this cosmic lesson, Robert the Bruce waged war once again, this time defeating the English army and finally gaining independence for Scotland.
The story apart, we were always prodded to take victory and defeat in the same stead to succeed in life. Those who flunked the Maths subject were subjected to great deal of brain-washing by our teachers. Try and try one day you will succeed was the mantra given in sufficient dose that even after our school days we go tango in trying to reach our mission against many odds.
But what happens when every thing you touch turns out to be a miserable failure? Each time you go honkers and want to make it a done thing you get the same bad result. Like president Obama you have re-set the button number of times. Still there is no sweet smell of success. What you should do? Give up? Walk away from the Situ? Throw the towel? Leave it to the Providence?
Still you have a lingering thought. Hey! This time I make it Yep! So again you try and assuage yourself nothing like trying. Then you remember somebody said “The biggest failure is not trying”. When the scorecard arrives, it is the same old story, failure once again. Finally you lose heart and ask yourself: Are Failures pillars of Success?
Now you must turn to analyse what was going on. Each time you fail you go through a system of learning and experience. Some of these are listed below:
1. The reason or reasons for the failure
2. In the same token you understand the opposite of the failure: the bases for success
3. You minutely look every angle of the issue, like a diamond merchant surveying the entire facets of a diamond
4. You take a global view, the issue at hand compared with the environment, the outside arena
5. Reasons for failure, bases of success, minute view and global view put together your learning curve has now shortened. You are in your elements now you can try once more
6. You build up faith, in you, in your ability
7. You call up your spirit, courage to make yet another shot at your desired mission
8. Now you know that you should try it differently; bringing all your strength and spirit you make a final attempt.
Alas you have failed once again in your mission; right now you should not blame yourself; neither those who are close to you such as your wife, boss, colleague nor society at large. At this point you must realise that failures are pillars of success only if you have the right Cosmics, the hidden aspects of your personality, that shape you from the time you are born.
If you act in a manner in consonance with your cosmics you succeed in your mission and in your life too. If you act in a manner contrary to your cosmics you fail in mission and in your life too. Therefore improving your chances of success in your mission and in your life depends on your understanding of the cosmics you have within you.
Do not waste any more time; understand your cosmics and start improving your life.

The annual Jupiter Sun conjunction takes place at 12.00 UTC/GMT time on February 28, 2010. You can trace your local time in reference to this. Bracing together for few moments these two planets are in Aquarius constellation at the time the event occurs. They have company of planets and stars; the location of their meeting is auspicious too. In this blog I write about the Jupiter Sun Conjunction February 2010 in terms of astronomy, stars and related cosmics in order to help you improving your life.
Astronomy
1. The conjunction takes place where Aquarius hugs the jug. In Greek mythology Aquarius is Ganymede whose job is to pour divine nectar called ambrosia to the Gods out of the jug he carries.
2. The Sun enters Aquarius constellation on February 16 and meets up with Jupiter having located itself at Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) of 22 hours, 45 minutes and 20 seconds and at the Declination (Celestial Latitude) of South 7 degree, 53 minutes and 58 seconds. After the meeting the Sun is expected to leave Aquarius on March 11, for its pleasure spot of Pisces constellation
3. The planet Jupiter enters Aquarius constellation on January 6 and meets up with the Sun having located itself at Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) of 22 hours, 46 minutes and 38 seconds and at the Declination (Celestial Latitude) of South 8 degree, 46 minutes and 40 seconds. After the meeting Jupiter will be hanging around in Aquarius till May 4, whence it moves to its home turf of Pisces constellation.
4. Both these planets have company from the planetary kingdom; Venus to the East and Mercury to the west both located at Aquarius constellation at that time
5. Both these planets have company of great stars as well. These stars are: Hydor to the East; Ancha to the West; Situla on the North; finally Sigma Aquarius towards South-east.
Stars
1. Hydor
Astronomically known as Lambda Aquari, Hydor is a variable star located at the bend of the steam of water or ambrosia, whichever 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 3.73. Rotating away from the Earth one mile per second it is a slow moving star sitting on the elliptical path. This star is surrounded by about 100 tiny stars. In Hindu mythology, the star Hydor 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 Hindu mythology. The surrounding stars are 100 Adityas, celestial bodies born out of Goddess Adithi known for their skills as physicians
2. Ancha
Astronomically known as Theta Aquari, Ancha is located on the right rib of the water carrier. The name Ancha is derived from Latin to mean haunch and takes affinity to old French “hanche”. Belonging to the spectral class of G8 III, it is a yellow giant giving fantastic yellow light. It is 191 light years away and has visual magnitude of 4.17. Rotating away from the Earth nine miles per second it is on the ecliptical path. Often it is occulted (overshadowed) by the Moon and rarely by other planets. It is cooler than our Sun with about 5000 Kelvin surface heat
3. Situla
Astronomically known as Kappa Aquari, Situla is located on the top of the conical water jug. The name Situla is derived from classical Latin to mean water jug, urn or a bucket. The Arabic word “Al-Satl” seems to be more appropriate. Belonging to the spectral class of K2 III, it is a giant and cool star giving crimson hue. It is 234 light years away and has visual magnitude of 5.04. Rotating towards the Earth about five miles per second it is a binary star. Situla A is fairly hot with 4,550 Kelvin surface temperature and an orange k type giant whereas Situla B is fairly red and faint with a visual magnitude of 8.8. The combined effect leaves a crimson red colour emanating from the two stars
4. Sigma Aquarius
Astronomically it is Sigma Aquari and goes without a proper name. It is a binary white sub giant with the spectral class of A0 IVs. Its companion star is also white hence the brightness and whiteness of Sigma Aquarius makes it a notable star in the heaven. Located 265 light years away Sigma Aquarius is rotating towards the Earth Just about 7 mile per second.
All four stars can be easily traced in the following picture: Hydor is shown as “y” typed on reverse; Ancha is shown to the right close to Rho (p); Situla is sown up as “k” on top; Sigma Aquarius is shown on the bottom of the four stars square.

Cosmics
1. It is all about a turn around; your lifestyle is changing for better; your psycho metrics are tuning up well; your source of happiness is topping up
2. Never ending stream of water or ambrosia is in itself a mark of blessing; in Eastern cultures water jugs are known to bring good luck; in Western cultures chalice filled with wine is a symbol of wealth
3. It is a defining moment; you have to put your goals and objectives as against the background of reality; prune the irrelevant and un-achievable and improve the ones that has the chance of success
4. A change of career, business, or engagement is in the offing; moving house is best done this year
5. The Chinese may be damned right: Red is the colour of fortune. Spread lot of red around you because red symbolizes action, swashbuckling, going forward. When you do that source of income naturally spruces up
6. What about education or further education? There cannot be a better time than this year when Jupiter and the Sun both were in Aquarius and later move to Pisces; time for fun and frolic; leisure and travel; affairs and nuptials
7. Bad time for criminals, gung-ho operators and their ilk; a dragnet is spread around them and most would be caught and punished
8. Chronic ailments show some mitigation. You get 101 doctors looking at these; Swine flu is flushed out; new medicines for terminal diseases spring up
9. For those who are born during February 16 to March 11; you have a better scope in improving your life in the coming months than you ever had for the last couple of decades.

When you succeed, you say it is a good time. But when you fail you say you are dogged by bad time. So time is always in essence for you and for the entire world. What about choosing the right time where you can neutralize the chances of failure and enhance the degree of success. This blog post attempts to explain freedom and capacity in choosing time and recommends cosmic time as a method of choice.
Time is in essence is a basic concept and to great extent a rule of law followed by every body. You will observe that for every activity the start time is specified. For several others both start and end time is also stipulated. All of you are used to these parameters. Rarely you criticize these parameters let alone violate any. So much so your lives are inter- wined with the concept called time. Apart from social norms that govern the time element there are religious commands that mandate that you follow the right time in activities such as prayer or penitence. When you subject any activity in which you are concerned with, you see two aspects dangling over it: freedom to choose the time and capacity to fix the time.
Freedom to Choose the Time
The degree of freedom to choose the time differs, depending on the type of activities you undertake. Broadly, there are three categories:
No Autonomy: Under this category, you have no freedom to choose the time at all. For example, the time when your train comes into your platform at the railway station
Semi Autonomy: Under this category, you have some freedom; for example, the lunch time you take. Here, you can choose the lunch time of half to one hour at anytime between 12.00 Noon till 2.00 p.m.
Full Autonomy: Under this category, you have complete freedom. For example, the time you wish to go to bed.
Capacity to Fix the Time
Concomitant to freedom aspect, capacity to fix the right time varies depending on the nature of the activity you undertake. Broadly, there are three categories:
Emergency : On and off you are placed in an emergency situation where you have no capacity to fix the time at all. A fire in your office is an apt example
Routine : As the name implies these activities are mundane and of routine nature set with a uniform pattern. However, you have capacity to amend or alter as these activities progress in a typical office day. For example, your appointment diary is amended to bring a priority meeting forward
Discretionary : Under this category you have full capacity to fix the time; most activities of discretionary nature relate to your family and business life. For example, the time to embark on a new venture in your business life.
As you see, it is in the area of discretionary matters you can combine full capacity with full autonomy. In order to fix the time you generally tend to use either of the two methods:
1. Convenience: Your convenience decides
2. Gut Feeling: Your gut feeling says so
When the result comes you get into the situation described at the beginning of the blog post; either you succeed and say it is a good time or fail and say it is a bad time. There is no such thing as good time or bad time; there is only one thing you need to be concerned with, that is choosing the right time. If you choose the right then you can neutralize the chances of failure and enhance the degree of success. This can be done easily by finding the cosmic time for you.
Cosmic Time
To understand cosmic time you have to look at the sky. Each moment there is a star rising, a star culminating over-head or a star setting. The Sun moves from one constellation to another in its annual journey traversing about 13 constellations and not 12 as erroneously believed. The Moon in its rotation around the Earth parks in 28 Lunar Mansions in a typical month. The other five planets, namely Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury also move in their respective orbits. You should choose the right time by looking at the stars in the sky rather than depending on your convenience or gut feeling.

New Moon in February 2010, heralds good tidings and at the same time cautions you to take care. In this blog post let me explain the details of the New Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and offer you few tips for improving your life.
February New Moon
The New Moon appears at 2.52 a.m. GMT/UTC on Sunday 14 February 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this.
Astronomy
At this time the Moon appears to us on earth as if in conjunction with the Sun even though both are 94 arc seconds apart. The location of the Sun and the Moon along with the nearby star Deneb Algedi is given below:
The Sun
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 21 hour 50 minutes 17 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 13 degree 5 minutes 16 seconds
The Moon
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 21 hour 48 minutes 43 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 10 degree 17minutes 53 seconds
Star Deneb Algedi
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 21 hour 47 minutes 36 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 16 degree 4 minutes 49 seconds
Obviously, there is convergence of three celestial bodies rather than any conjunction. The Moon is at apogee (farther from the Earth) at about 252,310 miles away. Illuminated less than 1 percent, the Moon cannot be seen by us. Glare of the Sun apart, the Moon’s illumination is too insignificant for it to be recognized.
Capricornus Constellation
The Moon, the Sun and the star Deneb Algedi are in the Capricornus constellation. At this time both Mercury and Neptune are also in the same constellation; Neptune farther away in the East while Mercury in the West from the Moon. The Capricornus constellation is drawn like a sea-goat and is well known as “Pan” the God of flocks, shepherds, hunting and rustic music in Greek Mythology; God “Enki” in Babylonian legends; the Matsaya (Fish) Incarnation of Lord Vishnu in Hinduism ; the God ‘Osiris” of the ancient Egypt. Both the Sun and the Moon traversing through Capricornus constellation bring two opposing forces towards equilibrium. The cosmics of the Sun is, it is a hot and dry planet whereas the cosmics of the Moon is, it is a cold and moist planet. Both mix cold with warmth dryness with moisture. Therefore, this leads to level headedness prevailing in the minds of people on the one hand and overall health and fitness on the other hand.
Lunar Mansions
The New Moon arises in the twenty-forth Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al-Manzil al- Qamar) of “Al-Sad Al-Sud” ( Fortune of the Fortunate). This lunar mansion has a mixed bag. It bestows upon you mental alertness and physical fitness; you befriend new friends or get new business contacts; you can build new houses or ventures. You can also get treatment for chronic illness with more tangible results. Yet at the same time the lunar mansion has negative results as well: You have to take care of your family affairs especially about your spouse; illicit or extra marital affairs can lead to infamy; for those who are in politics they have to be careful lest they miss their steps; for those in the business flamboyant partners or fanciful projects can spell doom. In summary the mansion is fairly weighted towards good results.
Star Deneb Algedi
Located in the fish like tail of the sea-goat Capricornus, the star Deneb Algedi is a white colour one. It is a four star system with three other members. Their combined brightness makes Deneb Algedi a blue star , perhaps the brightest of all in the sky. This star is called a metallic star combining both good and bad effects: good arising from its brightness bad emanating from its location.
Improving Your Life
1. Bring more zing and zest to your lifestyle
2. Take out the moribund look and go for a face lift; see whether your dress, hair style , mannerism can be uplifted for good results
3. While talking with friends, colleagues keep both feet on the ground; crossing the legs is a taboo; ladies take notice
4. Get more of red colour into your system: eat reddish cabbage or vegetables with red colour within; my favourite is beet root; red fruits and indeed water melon would get your cosmics flow deep inside
5. The effect of the New Moon lasts for a fortnight in general; for the first week it is intense but will peter off as it reaches the Full Moon stage some 14.8 days after the New Moon; so hurry up and make hay while the Sun shines
6. Do little bit gardening, mixing earth with water; plant new saplings; uproot dried and dead ones
7. If you suffer from chronic or severe illness get additional medicine or treatment; for those who have terminal illness, be rest assured you are given a new leash of life until the Full Moon; the ambience around you gives more potassium and magnesium but less calcium. If you are calcium deficient mark this
8. Use more of white, blue or red colours in your dress and clothes
9. Pan is the God of music and hunting so commemorate him with more music and dance
10. Any chalcedony including Agate, Aventurine , Carnelian, Chrsysoprase and Onyx, can be worn as Gems & Crystals.

If you ask this question yourself you will come out with quite a few vague statements: maybe, let me see, not at all, yes I think etc. If you ask this question from a personality counsellor he will ask you to go thru a quiz and thereafter give his findings almost similar to what you have already said. But if you analyse your cosmics you get the answer straightaway. In this blog post, let me explain about stars and elements that can determine what kind of job, you can do better.
Stars
When you are born you come under the influence of a star. We use the word star as a collective noun comprising of stars, planets, deep sky objects such as nebulae and clusters. Your stars are traced depending on your time of birth, date of birth and place of birth. Some of the stars are listed below along with the type of jobs to go with them:
Aldebaran: Multi-dimensional jobs
Alnilam: High corporate, political, military offices
Algol: Nursing, teaching, counselling and similar jobs
Antares: High positions in armed forces, regulatory offices, supervisory offices
Deneb: Operational jobs in aviation, telecast, satellite transmission; sales manager in electronic goods especially fridges, washing machines etc; manager or assistant in poultry or bird farming
Magrez: Owner director in companies dealing in domestic or global trade
Mebsuta: Middle or higher level jobs in large multi-nationals
Menkar: Junior to middle positions in public sector, non-government sector, service organizations or senior level manager in disaster management
Merak: Member of special task force, SWAT group, CIA, FBI and related institutions
Regulus: Any high office of commanding nature.
Elements
There are five elements: Fire, Spirit, Air, Water and Earth. Out of these, spirit is a late entry; originally the Greek philosophy restricted the study of elements to the first four only. Spirit as an element was introduced by Hindu and later Arab traditions. Spirit is often considered as a complement to or limiting factor for the other four elements. One of these elements would be predominant in your system. Depending on this predominant element you have to choose your job; only then, you are improving your life. Here are few suggestions:
Fire: Any jobs which requires quick action rather than delayed thinking; for example an aircraft pilot; any positions that involve actions blended with leadership; for example senior management jobs in companies; any jobs where strong and assertive behaviour is required; for example customs officer
Spirit: Any jobs in organizations that have the character of what Ralph Nader is doing in terms of reforming society or country in the field of consumerism, environment, political transparency, social progress etc. Middle to senior management positions in technology companies is also a key job area. Founders of most venture capital businesses have spirit as their predominant element
Air: Jobs ranging from Junior to senior grades in companies engaged in designing, lifestyle, entertainment, leisure etc. Best suited jobs are in operational or marketing areas; nonetheless, other areas such as finance and administration could also fit fairly well
Water: If water is your predominant element then it is better that you remain self-employed. You can take into music, arts & crafts, acting career, American Idol, speech, drama and other aesthetic areas. Water can sway others by their speech and actions; that is why most artists and celebrities have water as their predominant element
Earth: In case earth is your predominant element, then you suit well in thankless jobs such as police officers or jobs that involve hard work such as administrators in public or private sectors. Tough job of any kind is ok for you. Furthermore, positions of authority in municipal or state sectors where you have to meet everyday emergency could also be rewarding.

Every seven years a remarkable thing happens in your life: your age cycle changes. You leave one cycle and move on to the other. This process repeats from the time you are born till your end. Physical and mental aspects apart, the seven year age cycle influences your cosmics, matters that remain within you, perhaps unknown to you. This blog post unravels the cosmics lying beneath each of the Seven Year Age Cycles, christened with a short and apt title.
1. Tiny: This age cycle lasts from 0 to 7 years that is till your seventh birthday. During this cycle, you have company while you go to sleep; angels singing lullaby and fondly caressing you. When you move about there is always someone to take care from the heaven; angels playing with you and at times cautioning you when you go in harm’s way. Metals and talismans are generally worn to drive away any evils and in a sense effective too
2. Child: This age cycle lasts from 7 to 14 years that is till your fourteenth birthday. During this cycle you do not see angels, but divine providence is around you, a kind of aura that makes people say hello to you; bring them close to you; make them be kind to you. This stage is of mixed nature; wile incantation or recitals have influence over you, externalities such as gems & crystals do not influence you. During this cycle the child can see visions; can recognize and relate to Genie. In many cultures occultists use the medium of child for clairvoyance or oracles
3. Adolescence: This age cycle lasts from 14 to 21 years that is till your twenty-first birthday. As sexuality raises its head, cosmics take a back seat during this age cycle. Simply said, this age cycle is the reversal of the Child: you are subject to barbs and scolding both from parents and teachers; you are tuned to make use of physical and mental energies engaging in sports and education. Therefore, externalities such as gems & crystals influence you a lot. Negative cosmic attacks from the ambience could be fairly effective
4. Youth: This age cycle lasts from 21 to 28 years that is till your twenty-eighth birthday. Generally good time for marriage and sex, you are in the prime of physical fitness, mental ability and sexual arousal. On the contrary, your cosmic power wanes during this stage. Consequently you use physical energy and mental agility to relate with people and the ambience. Negative cosmic attacks from the ambience are deadly. It is necessary therefore to modify your behaviour by culling out incorrect manners and replace these with correct behaviour patterns
5. Prime Life: This age cycle lasts from 28 to 35 years that is till your thirty-fifth birthday. If you have failed to get marry during the Youth cycle, this is the second best time for settling down in your life. Well supported by topping condition of your body and mind you are popular among your colleagues and blossom as the talk of the town. During this age cycle work and enjoyment of life’s pleasures take precedence over many things. As a result, your cosmics lie low; in layman’s parlance down but not dead. Metals, gems & crystals along with behaviour modifications have larger bigger influence over you. If harnessed properly, you can make your cosmics work for you in higher education, career and business ventures
6. Middle-Aged: This age cycle lasts from 35 to 42 years that is till your forty-second birthday. Like in the prime stage, you are still stronger physically and mentally. Added to this is the waxing power of your inner-self. Slowly and gradually your cosmics start to sing and serenade. But something is missing: Direction. You need plenty of guidance to choose the best for you. Many of you would go thru the mid-life change perhaps crisis, mostly due to lack of direction. As you reach the forty-second birthday you are passing the half-way mark in your life. Note the milestone
7. Adult: This age cycle lasts from 42 to 49 years that is till your forty-ninth birthday. Your nuts and bolts need servicing; time to re-tool your techniques in doing your job or managing your family affairs. Nagging issues from sex and marriage engulf you. Besotted with negative behaviour patterns such as losing temper or laziness you are advised to supplement your physical and mental prowess with something else. That is the cosmics lying beneath you, like a curled snake inside your belly. If you open the sluice gate cosmics will rise and chase away the boredom and the adrenalin; give you a sense of power; bestows you an aura around you. You can see the change when you walk into your office. Your secretary or Admin shows much more attention than previously. Interplay of colours and aroma has a lasting effect on you during this age cycle
8. Mature Person: This age cycle lasts from 49 to 56 years that is till your fifty-sixth birthday. You have come back. Once again you are re-living your Youth and Prime age cycles put together. Few modifications to your behaviour is the order of the day. Hey! You have changed your hair style. Looks more smarty and sexy too. You crave to be prominent amongst your colleagues and want to throw your weight around in the family or in your yacht club. Two things can happen; mutually exclusive; both the guys and gals out their compliment you with the tongue in cheek or just bow down at your command. You are the symbol now some kind of an icon. Cosmics have landed
9. Golden Person: This age cycle lasts from 56 to 63 years that is till your sixty-third birthday. You bemoan why the last age cycle of Mature Person did not last long. You feel like a dropped hot potato. You still have your cylinders firing in all three departments: body, mind and soul. But few take care of your being out there. Wait a minute! You are not done yet. New relationships are blossoming especially from younger members in the opposite sex. They get galvanized by your being a golden person. Your wife and children do not care; but your neighbours do. From far way people come to see you and need your time because you are their godfather. You understand the life purpose and have immense power of cosmics. Externalities such as metals, gems & crystals give away to internalities such as incantation and recitals in influencing your system
10. Senior Citizen: This age cycle lasts from 63 to 70 years that is till your seventieth birthday. Time to retire and in many cultures this is the time to hang the boots. However much you think you have retired, you still have plenty of things to do and achieve. Besides, your spirit is ever willing and your faculties are still switched on; body may not stand the strain though. Talismans along with incantation and recitals have cosmic resonance with you.

Natural and man made disasters strike many parts of the globe frequently. Immediately organizations such as Oxfam, Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies come to the rescue of the many people affected. The staff manning these service organizations have one thing in common, the influence of the star Menkar bestowing on them the ability in disaster management. In this blog post, I examine the star Menkar in terms of Astronomy, Constellation and Cosmics. Few tips are given in improving your life too.
Menkar in Astronomy
Menkar is a bright cool orange to reddish star beaming orange colour. The star was named after its original Arabic title “Al-Minkhar Al- Qaytaas” meaning “The Nostril of the Sea Monster”. It is in the Cetus constellation or simply “The Whale” constellation. Menkar is located on the Jaw of the giant whale alias sea monster. When you take the entire constellation per se it is located on the north-eastern part and rises fairly late in the eastern sky in the horizon. Due to the variability of its brightness, Astronomer Bayer was led to believe it as the brightest star in the Cetus constellation. Accordingly, he gave the alpha status to the star. Today, the star is considered as the second brightest one.
Menkar is astronomically referred to as “Alpha Ceti “. It is classified as “M 1.5 III a” indicating it is a cool orange giant and a variable star to boot. In its stellar evolution, Menkar is almost in the penultimate stage before its eventual death. Menkar has passed the early stages such as fusing hydrogen to helium, helium to carbon and now it is in the stage of contracting the remaining carbon at the core. Consequently the star is shedding its outer layers made of hydrogen. Once this stage is passed, Menkar is set to explode as a planetary nebula. Thereafter, perhaps the remaining rump part of the star could turn out to be a large white dwarf star.
A third magnitude star in brightness in the scale at 2.5, Menkar is located in Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 3 hour 2 minutes and 49 seconds and Declination (Celestial Latitude) 4 degree 7 minutes and 44 seconds north. Menkar has surface temperature of 3,700 Kelvin and is about 380 times luminous than the Sun. It is about 220 light years away and about 84 times the size of the Sun. It is a horizon star and is moving away from earth at a speed of 16 miles per second. Menkar is known for special features:
1. Its brightness vary in an irregular manner; being a giant star it is given an astronomical short hand “Lb “ which conveys to the laymen “ the brightness of this giant star varies in irregular manner “
2. Menkar emits radio waves as a result of cool winds on its surface. This may also have caused the orange colour beamed from the star throughout despite its variability of its brightness
3. Menkar is the last important star to rise in the Cetus constellation as it is located in the north-eastern part of Cetus
4. Menkar has steadily and greatly lost its carbon content after it entered the third stage of contracting carbon at the core. This means that Menkar is on the fast track to become a planetary nebula compared with other stars.
Cetus Constellation
Let me say few things about Cetus constellation. The word Cetus comes from Latin, meaning a whale. According to Greek Legend it all started when Cassiopeia queen of Cepheus, the King of Ethiopia, boasted that her beauty surpasses that of the sea nymphs Nereids. Hearing this impertinent statement, Poseidon (Neptune in Latin), the Lord of the ocean and father of the Nereids sent storms to ravage the Ethiopian sea coast. When Cepheus consulted the Oracle he was advised that as atonement for the vanity of his queen he must chain his daughter Andromeda in the sea to be devoured by the sea monster Cetus, who appears in the form of a Giant Whale. Later on Cetus is seen travelling towards Andromeda, the virgin who is chained to the rock to be devoured by him. Before Cetus can finish his job, 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.
On the contrary, Gerardus D Bouw, writing in Biblical Astronomer No 104, traces the Cetus story from Nineveh, the Assyrian capital city on the bank of the Tigris River that was revived by God after the Ninevites repented as preached by Prophet Jonah. Obviously, the whale that swallowed Jonah could easily be traced to Cetus.
Whatever the story is, Cetus constellation is largely a southern constellation with few stars above the celestial equator. It is fourth largest constellation in the known sky. This constellation has several notable stars: Deneb Kaitos, Menkar , Baton Kaitos, Al Kaf Al Jidhmah, Deneb and Mira.
Cosmics
Menkar is located just above the celestial equator and always rises in the horizon. It can influence a person in four counts:
1. Birth star sighted by the Moon
2. Lucky star sighted by one of the other six planets
3. Rising star
4. Culminating star
Positive Cosmics
1. Menkar makes you a ‘service to humanity” person. You have charitable nature in helping affected people during calamities. It can be natural disaster such as an earthquake or a man made disaster such as arson. Whatever the nature of the disaster you are one of the few to rush in with whatever help you can garner
2. Though you often languish in the cocoon shelf of your office when the moment arrives you rise to the occasion with speed and agility second to none
3. Quick analysis is your hallmark and moving men and logistics under trying conditions is the task made for you
4. You will not easily give up in your actions be it in the office or in the sports ground. Your enthusiasm never fades
5. Plump, fat with an over sized belly and besotted with un-combed hair you are, in appearance wise an anti-thesis to the heroes in the celluloid films; but when it comes to work you are marvellous and often get adulation from many quarters.
Negative Cosmics
1. The chief negative is that you are too emotional; if anything is denied you are going to take it up grudgingly and wait for the moment to demonstrate that the other party is simply wrong
2. You can be caught in a web of deceit especially in relation to financial scandals or in extra marital affairs
3. You are prone to major accidents resulting in the loss of life or limb; you are also susceptible to major breakdowns in terms of health
4. As you tread the path of helping people in the throes of crisis the chance of tripping onto electricity wire or stung by venomous snakes or attacked by hyenas and other predators cannot be over-emphasized.
Improving Your Life
The following are few recommendations to improve your life:
1. You should select white, green orange and light colours for your dress
2. Numbers 1, 5 & 8 do wonders for you
3. You must sleep, keeping your head towards the south -east
4. You must join social services or disaster management or special services organizations
5. Single marriage lasts till end
6. It would be better for you to be in the public service or work for a Non-Governmental Organizations(NGO)
7. You should use the combination of alphabets “H “ in name or user name or pet name
8. You must develop lifestyle where your suitcase is stuffed and ready to fly away on call. Like in the Lyrics of a Jim Reeves number “ I hear the sound of distant drums” you wait for the mobile to ring for the call of duty
9. During leisure, enjoy at home peacefully.

Are you prepared for action at any time like the legendary SWAT Team? If yes, you have something to do with the star Merak, a fabulous star in the north-eastern sky ever so present to keep you ever so prepared. In this blog post, I examine the star Merak in terms of Astronomy, Asterism and Cosmics and outline recommendations for improving your life.
Astronomy
Merak is a bright hot star beaming with white colour tinged in green shade in the north eastern sky. The word Merak comes from Arabic “Al-Maraak Al- Dubb Al- Akbar” meaning “the Loin of the Great Bear”. It is located in Ursa Major constellation or simply “Great Bear” constellation. Merak is a part of seven star combinations known as Big Dipper Asterism. Fabulously dazzling in colour, Merak is the fifth brightest star in the Great Bear constellation, even though Astronomer Bayer in his classification gave the second place to the star by allotting the Greek letter Beta.
Merak is astronomically referred to as “Beta Ursa Major“. It is classified as A1V indicating it is white dwarf main sequence star like our Sun, fusing hydrogen to helium in its core. A third magnitude star in brightness in the scale of at 2.3, Merak is located in Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 11 hour 2 minutes and 27 seconds and Declination (Celestial Latitude) 56 degree 19 minutes and 41 seconds. Merak has surface temperature of 9,600 Kelvin and is about 70 times luminous than the Sun. It is about 70 light years away and about 3 times the size of the Sun. It is fairly a northern star and is moving away from earth at a speed of 7.5 miles per second. Merak is known for various features:
1. As a Pointing star: if you draw an imaginary line from Merak thru Dubhe and go up North you would arrive at the Polar Star
2. As a star with a Disk: Like the planet Saturn, the star Merak has a cooling disk surrounding it; It gives an excellent colour combination of white with greenish tinge. Various theories abound for this phenomenon. One is that the surrounding area has heated dust that gives infra-red light translating into a fascinating colour; the other is that the star Merak might have a planet orbiting it
3. Merak is located 56 degree north; therefore it is a circumpolar star that is, never setting for those who live in areas 30 degrees north
4. In close proximity to Merak, but towards the west there is a planetary nebula known as “Owl Nebula” classified as NGC 3587 or Messier Object M 97.
Asterism
Merak is a part of the Big Dipper Asterism, the most famous out of all asterisms. Big Dipper is also known as Wagon in USA and Plough in UK. The appropriate word is ladle because all the seven stars in the asterism form a ladle. This asterism is noted in astronomy because the seven stars in the asterism are related to each other in terms of speed; motion and the direction towards these are moving away from earth. This remarkable fact is known as “Ursa Major Moving Group”. The seven stars in the asterism are: Dubhe, Merak, Megrez, Phekda, Alioth, Mizar and Alkaid. In Hindu mythology the asterism is called Saptha Rishi (Seven Stages) and they are represented as stars in the following manner: Kratu as Dubhe; Pulaha as Merak ; Atri as Megrez; Pulastya as Phekda; Angiras as Alioth; Vasishta as Mizar; Bhrigu as Alkaid. Out of these sages, Pulaha personified as Merak was born from the Navel of the God Brahma.
Cosmics
Merak does not figure as a birth star, sighted by the Moon or lucky star sighted by other six planets because it is far away from the ecliptical plane. Hence, Merak can influence your life as a rising star or a culminating star only. However, the effect of the star Merak is not much pronounced in cases of persons who are born in locations above 30 degree north in latitude or below 30 degree south in latitude. This is because for those who are born in locations above 30 degree north the star Merak never sets and to those who are born in locations below 30 degree south the star Merak never rises.
Positive Cosmics
1. Merak girds up your loin; you are always ready for action; you are blessed with the ability to take stock of the situation, develop your strategies and tactics, implement these in optimum manner and go towards your stated goals
2. Merak gives you uncanny wisdom appropriate for those who are to make decision at the spur of the moment like members of the legendary SWAT Team, Commandos, Business Negotiators and CEOs of large corporations
3. Merak also gives you smart look; bright in outlook; taking responsibility and always moving forward
4. Merak gets you the pleasures of life but as you start to enjoy there is a call from your boss or office to handle another assignment. Like James Bond in the movie you have little time to enjoy the plums of life that is spread all over you.
Negative Cosmics
1. You need to put lot of acting under pressure or under a guise; hence real love and fondness escape from you
2. You can be caught in a web of deceit
3. You will also develop erratic behaviour pattern in sex, family and business relations as time goes on.
Improving Your Life
The following are few recommendations to improve your life:
1. You should select white, green and light colours for your dress
2. Numbers 2, 5 & 8 do wonders for you
3. You must sleep, keeping your head towards the south -west
4. You must join special services in the armed forces
5. Marriage through love at first sight is shown, but bewares of it
6. Any business where quick decision making is involved could fit your bill
7. You should use the combination of alphabets “S “and “L” in your name
8. You must develop lifestyle to go with “on the job and always moving scenario”
9. During leisure, be homely as far as possible because you are having enough out door activities; now is the time to look at the home front and to look after the welfare of your family.

Moon causes mood swings, true or false. Ask this question from a doctor the answer would be a thundering No. Ask this from a farmer in the village the reply would be a smiling Yes. Most pragmatic people concede that the Moon influences them in their moods and emotions. In this blog post let me give you some ideas about the Moon and how its cosmics influence your moods.
The Moon
In Astronomy, the Moon is the closest celestial body to the Earth. In fact the Moon is not a planet; it is just a satellite. The Moon orbits the Sun, however as it is gravitationally linked to the Earth It rotates around the Earth as well. The Moon was once part of the Earth. Millenniums ago a celestial body by the name of “Theia” struck the original Earth to break it into two pieces: The broken out part emerged as the Moon the remaining part continued as the Earth.
The Moon revolves around the Earth and it takes 29.56 days to complete a cycle. In this revolution the Moon goes into phases or lunation cycles. The Moon’s journey has eight such phases: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter and Waning Crescent (Balsamic Moon). Out of these eight Moon phases the New Moon and Full Moon are noted as regards to their gravitational influence in opposite directions. Full Moon pulls you whereas New Moon dulls you. Waxing Crescent and Waning Gibbous have similarity in the degree of gravitational pull; First Quarter and Last Quarter are equal in their gravitational influence.
Moreover, the Moon wobbles on his erratic and elliptical path thereby at times it gets closer to the Earth and at times it is farthest from the Earth. These aspects are called perigee and apogee:
1. Perigee: This is the point where the Moon is closest to the Earth in its revolution. The closest perigee recorded is 221,440 miles from the Earth. At this moment the Moon has the highest pulling power
2. Apogee: This is the point where the Moon is farthest from the Earth in its revolution. The farthest apogee recorded is 252,730 miles from the Earth. At this moment the Moon has reduced pulling power.
Cosmics
A combination of moon phases especially the Full Moon and the Perigee Moon causes several disturbances on Earth which we call simply as cosmics of the Moon:
1. Illumination of the Moon
The illumination of the Moon can reach as high as 99. 99 %. This is referred to as Bright Moonlight.
2. Water Bodies
The oceans rise causing high tides and tidal waves lashing at the shores. Most water bodies such as rivers, tributaries, lakes, ponds an springs get hyper-active and violently bubble. Under-water currents are very active and might travel in a haphazard manner. In rivers and estuaries water curling ups are experienced. In muddy water bodies twirling water can sap swimmers into the depth of water resulting in instant death. However, the biggest impact is on the human beings: fluctuating moods and emotions.
3. Mood Swings
Both men and women are subject to mood swings of varied degree. Some men are susceptible to high mood swings, while others experience low mood swings and still few others relatively mild or no mood swings:
3.1. A high degree of sexual arousal is experienced in women; in the case of men the sexuality could turn out to be fairly violent. Sometimes they tend to use force on sexual partners or masturbate. Making sex during this time does not give mutual satisfaction to partners
3.2. Generally the Moon influences the endocrine system; Pituitary, Hypothalamus, Thyroid, Adrenal, Thymus, Pineal , Prostrate, Pancreas glands together with Gonad, Sex and Sweat glands are all impacted by the Moon. Furthermore, vital organs, nerves, blood cells, and body cells are also affected by the Moon
3.3. The energy produced within the body system experiences see-saw pattern; consequently either you brim with vitality or complain about loss of concentration
3.4. The aspect of criminality raises its head; surprisingly more crimes take place during bright Moon than dark Moon
3.5. More people get into injury or cause injury on others; those who are prone to accidents and falls have tendency to suffer more
3.6. Emotional instability is yet another disturbance caused by the Moon especially in those who are engaged in stressful jobs and vocations or having competitive lifestyle
3.7. Mentally retarded children would experience fall in their cognitive ability, while those who are insane or on the borderline might engage in madder actions than ever.
What You Should Do?
1. Be prepared to handle Moon related disturbances that could severely affect members of your family
2. Do your planning well by checking the date of Full Moon and Perigee Moon. When the time gap between Perigee Moon and the Full Moon is less than six hours the impact of these disturbances is very high. So diarise the full Moon days. A worked example along with my interpretation is given below:
Month: January
Date: 30
Perigee Moon: 9.04 a.m. (UTC/GMT)
Full Moon: 6.19 a.m. (UTC/GMT)
Illumination: 99.87%
Time Gap: Less than 6 hours
Constellation: Cancer
As you are aware, when Full Moon is in the Cancer constellation the gravitational pull is exacerbated as Cancer is described as a dark constellation with lesser bright stars around. The only salutary factor is the illumination rate which is fairly low. You should exercise extreme caution in the course of this day as the Mood Swings could turn out to be more violent than you foresee.

After sun set during months between June till October, you are marvelled to see a bright white star in the north-eastern sky. Known as the summer star, Deneb is fascinatingly luminous. If you are born under the star you soar in wealth and fame. Let me explain about the star Deneb in this blog post, outlining its astronomy, cosmics and how you can start improving your life and lifestyle.
Astronomy
The full name of the star “Deneb” is ‘Deneb Adige” which is derived from Arabic “Al-Dhanab Al-Dajajah” meaning “Tail of the Hen”. It has couple of aliases too. One is the name of “Aridef” given from the Arabic word “Al-Ridhf” which means ‘Innermost” as Deneb is located in the tail of the swan much deep in the constellation. Another name is “Arion” one of the Lyre-players who was turned into a swan by Zeus. The star’s location in the Cygnus constellation is very unique. Whether the wings are outstretched or folded the star Deneb remains prominent and colourful.
There are number of stars in vogue carrying the common name “Deneb” meaning the tail in Arabic. Deneb Algedi and Deneb Kaitos are few of the examples. But out of all these stars Deneb Adige is the most brightest and brilliant. Hence, we call the star simply as “Deneb”. Astronomically known as Alpha Cygni, Deneb is the number one star in the Cygnus constellation. Cygnus means a swan. Deneb is a variable star located at Right Ascension (Celestial longitude) of 20 hours 41 minutes and 44 seconds and Declination (Celestial latitude) of 45 degree and 18 minutes. If you look at the star intently against the background of the nearby sky you will notice three important shapes:
1. The Northern Cross where the star Deneb is on the head, with four other stars in centre, foot, right and left of the cross
2. A flying swan with outstretched wings with the star Deneb on the tail part
3. A Summer Triangle formed by Deneb along with stars Vega and Altair.
Though Deneb is the brightest star in the Cygnus constellation, it is just the nineteenth brightest in the known sky. A blue-white super giant its apparent magnitude is 1.25, but its real or absolute magnitude must be very much higher as Deneb is about 66,500 light years away from us. It has several unique qualities:
1. It is the largest white star known to us with 20 times the size of our Sun and with a diameter of about 116 times that of the Sun
2. Its brightness changes slightly due to pulsation; Deneb has become a prototype of this type of phenomenon called “Alpha Cygni Variables” extended to other stars that pulsate in similar manner
3. Deneb is moving away from the Earth at two and half miles per second
4. Deneb has stopped fusing hydrogen at the core; heavily lashed by stellar winds, it is losing its mass steadily. Consequently, Deneb a blue- white star at present would evolve to be a red giant and then explode as a supernova after millions of years hence
5. At present, the star generates 8400 Kelvin heat giving fantastic white colour rays wherein all the colours are present in equal strength as white is the mother of all colours
6. Deneb is also surrounded by nebula; one such nebula is North America Nebula or NGC 7000
6. Deneb figures in several science fiction films such as “Star Trek”, as it remains one of the keenly watched and well –researched stars in the heaven.
Asterism
Deneb forms the Northern Cross Asterism, the one that attracts attention during the summer sky. This asterism is noted in astronomy because it arises almost in the parallel position to the star Canopus in the north eastern sky. The Northern Cross is formed by:
1. Deneb on the head
2. Sadr (Gamma Cygni) in the centre; the name Sadr from Arabic “Al-Sadr Al -Dajajah” meaning ‘Breast of the Hen”
3. Albiero ( Beta Cygni) at the foot; alternate name is Minhar from Arabic “ Al-Minhar Al-Dajajah” meaning “Beak of the Hen”
4. Delta Cygni on the left; called variably as ‘ Rukh” and Al-Fawaris” meaning ‘Mythical bird’ and ‘Rider” respectively
5. Gienah (Epsilon Cygni) on the right; the name Gienah from Arabic “ Al-Janah Al-Dajajah” meaning ‘ Wing of the Hen”.
Cygnus Constellation
There are several legends of Cygnus constellation in the Greek Mythology. Two of these are well known:
1. When Leda is married to Tyndareus King of Sparta, Zeus creeps into her bedroom in the wedding night and seduces her; as a result of the union she gives birth to a son by the name of Pollux of Gemini fame. Hence, the swan is placed in the heavens
2. Orpheus and Arion are two lyre players,; Orpheus was killed while he was in a drunken state. Zeus placed both of them as musicians for eternity in the form of a flying swan.
Cosmics
Deneb does not figure as a birth star, sighted by the Moon or lucky star sighted by other six planets because it is far away from the ecliptical plane. Hence, Deneb can influence your life as a rising star or a culminating star only. However, the effect of the star Deneb is not much pronounced in cases of persons who are born in locations above 30 degree north in latitude or below 30 degree south in latitude. This is because for those who are born in locations above 30 degree north the star Deneb never sets and to those who are born in locations below 30 degree south the star Deneb never rises.
Improving Your Life
Considering the positive and negative cosmics of the star Deneb the following are brief recommendations given for improving your life:
1. You should select blue, white or bright colours for your upper and lower garments
2. Numbers 2, 4 and 5 should do wonders for you
3. You must sleep, keeping your head towards the direction of North – East
4. You must select business or profession that deals with aviation, broadcast, telecast or satellite transmission
5. You can also deal in poultry farming and related areas
6. Dealing in white goods such as fridges and washing machines could lead to prosperity
7. Industries such as Music and films and Leisure & tourism could be more rewarding
8. You should work in pleasant areas and shun areas of rough and tumble
9. Your marriage life soars in the beginning and falls flat in the end; hence you should take care
10. You should use the alphabet “R” in the name; if this is not possible get username, pet name or business name in this manner.

After a hectic and stressful day in office you are still fresh and willing to drop your colleague miles away from your home. How did you get all love and vitality? One explanation: you are born with the star Mebsuta guiding you. This fascinating star makes an ordinary person a caring and at the same time strong leader. Let me explain about the star Mebsuta in this blog post outlining, its astronomy and Cosmics, so that you can change your lifestyle and embark upon improving your life.
1) Astronomy
The name of the star Mebsuta is derived from Arabic “Al-Mabsuta” meaning “outstretched”. Astronomically known as Epsilon Gemini, Mebsuta is a double star in the Gemini constellation. Located in the ecliptical plane, this star is often passed by the Moon technically known as “occulted”. Other planets whistle by, but occultation is somewhat rare. The last incident of such occultation occurred on August 4, 1976 when Mars passed by Mebsuta.
Location of Mebsuta is interesting; from its position at Right Ascension (Celestial longitude) 6 hours 44 minutes and 33 seconds and Declination (Celestial latitude) of 25 degree 7 minutes and 14 seconds if you draw a line to south-east you will notice a three star combination. The first one being Mebsuta on the top, the second one in middle being Mekbuda (known as Zeta Gemini) and the last one being Kebash (known as Lambda Gemini). Interestingly Mebsuta is just above the ecliptical plane whereas Mekbuda just below the ecliptical line.
Fifth brightest star in the Gemini Constellation, Mebsuta is considered as a double star.The primary star has 3.2 magnitude of brightness and glows in white to yellowish colour. Its companion however is a small 9.5 magnitude blue star. The latter appears to our eyes as close to star Mebsuta though it is about 110 arc seconds away in the deep sky. Star Mebsuta is burning helium at the core like our Sun and losing its mass steadily. As a rare type of super giant, Mebsuta is much cooler than our Sun at 4,360 Kelvin belying its classification as “G8Ib Star” generally given to yellow stars like our Sun whose surface temperature must be above 5000 Calvin. This may be due to its long distance at 900 light years away and its brightness in luminosity of some 7,600 times the Sun and its size of about 150 times the Sun. What a great super giant!
2) Cosmics
2.1) Gemini Constellation
The legend of Gemini constellation is well known. In Greek Mythology, Gemini relates to twin brothers born to one mother and two fathers. Pollux the elder was born to Zeus who creeps in on the wedding night of Leda as a Swan and beds her; Castor was born to Tyndareus, King of Sparta to whom Leda is lawfully wedded. While Pollux is immortal Castor is mortal. Pollux is a pugilist whereas Castor is a horseman. Both are inseparable twins. Castor was fatally wounded in a battle with Idas who is their mutual cousin. Pollux could not console himself with the death of his twin brother and pleads with Zeus to take his life as well. Zeus so impressed by the brotherly love shown by Pollux towards Castor, places them in the sky as immortal stars symbolizing love and affection between two brothers. The star Mebsuta is located on the right knee of Castor. Interestingly, the star Mekbuda mentioned earlier is located on the left knee of Pollux. The ancients used to swear by the name of Gemini when making oaths or transactions.
2.2) Lunar Mansion
Mebsuta is in the sixth Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al- Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al- Hannah (The Mark)”. Those who are born under this lunar mansion have noble virtues; they work hard and never lose their love and vitality. This lunar mansion has a mixed bag; on one hand it makes a person born under it to toil hard ; on the other hand it preserves such persons unscathed from failures and disappointments making them paragons of virtue.
2.3) Improving Your Life
Mebsuta can influence your life as a Birth star, Rising star, Culminating star and Lucky star depending on the sky map cast at the time, date and place of your birth. Considering the positive and negative Cosmics of the star Mebsuta the following are brief recommendations given for improving your life:
1. You should select blue, white, yellow and light colours for your upper garments such as shirts and blazers; choose dark shades for lower garments such as trousers and skirts
2. Numbers 1, 2 and 6 should do wonders for you
3. You must sleep, keeping your head towards the direction of North – West
4. You must select business or profession that does not conflict with nature but helps people to live with nature
5. You can also select trading goods or services across the oceans
6. Industries such as Music and films, Leisure & tourism, Fashion & entertainment could be more rewarding
7. You should be a peace activist and heavily charity minded
8. You are One-marriage person; therefore select your partner wisely
9. You should use the alphabet “K” or “Q” in your name; if this is not possible get username, pet name or business name in this manner
10. On your study or work table keep a model of ship with floating sails. The replica in wood is recommended
11. During leisure, play flute or melodious instrument that uses wind; watch films that depict love and affection or arts and nature
12. Take lot of care on your feet, knee downwards; special attention must be paid to your right knee; any knee injury would be debilitating and fatal too.

You go for sunbathing but do not bother about the Moon that gives you light that is cool and refreshing. By bathing under the moonlight you can regain your lost energy and enthusiasm. What you need are few tips for Moonbathing. This blog post does that for you.
Moonbathing
Moonbathing is not well known in many parts of the world. While people flock to beaches for sunbathing from one corner of the globe to another they would not even step out to their back garden to bask under the cooling rays of the moonlight. There are two reasons for this: One is sunbathing is a day time affair where fun and frolic are order of the day not to mention socialising much sought after by sunbathers. Second reason is the illumination from moonlight compared with sunlight is too fractional to be considered anything worthy.
But the fact remains that moonbathing is as important as sunbathing; the benefits derived from moonbathing are equally important. Both sunbathing and moonbathing grant you different types of Cosmics. While sunbathing gives you male energy known as yang moonbathing affords you with the female energy known as yin. Purely yang makes you energetic but dries your feelings and emotions; by the same token exclusive yin energy glides you to float in sensitivity but depletes your orientation for action.
Moonbathing changes your lifestyle. For example a hot tempered person can become cooler and perhaps saner after continuous moonbathing for sometime. There is not a single defect in a moonbath to my knowledge. People can avoid sunbath if they have skin ailments. In the case of moonbath even a person dying of a terminal disease could drive some cosmic benefits. Hence, moonbathing is an essential feature in improving your life. In order to understand moonbathing and make it effective, it is necessary to learn about moonlight. The following are key features of moonlight:
1. Moonlight is not original one attributed to the Moon; it is in fact reflected light of the Sunlight absorbed by the Moon and showered on earth
2. Illumination of moonlight is fractional; in the temperate zones it is about one over 500,000 times of the sunlight; in tropical it can increase to about one over 250,000 of the sunlight
3. Due to insufficient illumination, the colour sensory ability of our eyes is impaired in moonlight. Hence, in moonlight you have either black or white. Moreover, the size dimension gets twisted. You will not be able to get the proper dimensions right. Hence, in moonlight a tree may appear bigger than in sunlight or artificial light.
4. Illumination of moonlight progresses as the Moon goes through phases known as lunation cycles. The moonlight gets brighter from the first quarter; more luminous in the waxing Gibbous and culminates on full moon day. It wanes thereafter in the Waning Gibbous and by the time it reaches end of the Waning Gibbous moonlight dims out. Roughly the time for moonbathing is, therefore, between 8 to 21 lunar days. This period is alternately knows as bright moon days
5. The Moon grows by each night. Instead of calling these as nights we use “lunar days” to identify the age of the Moon.
Tips for Moonbathing
1. Choose the Lunation Cycle right for you:
First Quarter: Ranges from eighth till eleventh lunar day. During these four nights you can moonbathe till about the midnight. This time is ideal for teens, convalescing persons and those who work in finance and banking sector
Waxing gibbous: Ranges from twelfth to fourteenth lunar day. During these three nights you can moonbathe between 10.00 p.m. till well past midnight. This lunation cycle is ideal for housewives, pregnant ladies or nursing mothers and those who work in teaching or educational related sectors
Full Moon: This Moon is also called as Night Moon because it is there in the sky the entire night. It appears for two days fifteenth and sixteenth lunar days. You can moon bathe from 8.00 p.m. till the wee hours as you please. This moon phase is excellent for artists, managers and business owners or persons involved in business related activities
Waning Gibbous: This phase has five days from seventeenth to twenty-first lunar days. The Moon rises late in the night in east and sets after Sun-rise. You will observe that the Moon is giving much cooler even though paler light. You can moonbathe around midnight till about 4.00 a.m. This suits fine for senior citizens and those who are serving in armed forces or regulatory bodies
2. Moon is for all seasons: spring, summer, autumn (fall) and winter. Depending on your personal preference you can choose the season for moonbathing:
Spring Moon: Silvery light with greenish tinge; calming and at the same time rejuvenating ambience
Summer Moon: Yellow light with orange overtones; more pulsating energy along with refreshed ambience
Autumn Moon: Mellow light with violet undertones; glowing in calmness and serenity
Winter Moon: Blue to silver; sense of silence with an echo of silent sound reverberating
3. Dress: You can dress decently with loose fitting garments; you can leave upper torso bare, unless civility dictates otherwise. During winter, you need protective garments
4. Manner: You can choose to stroll or sit in a wooden chair or rest / sleep in a couch
5. Eating and Drinking: You can eat or drink as you please but it would be better to avoid liquor
6. Seeing and Viewing: If it is possible, look at the Moon as often as necessary
7. Touching and Massaging: As you moonbathe you should fondle, tap, squeeze, touch and massage your body especially on the upper torso
8. Once the moonbath is completed do not wipe your body unless you need to get rid of any snow, bird droppings, dust and pigments of leaves
9. Retire to bed straight away.

Paring nail is a mundane task, so you thought. Like every activity paring nails also has do and avoid lists in its rule book. If you keep to this rulebook you can improve your Cosmics which in turn helps improving your life too. This blog post gives you an easy guide to paring nails in nutshell in the form of Do and Avoid List.
Do List
1. Keep nail clippers and nail files for strictly personal use
2. Good days for paring nails are: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. For children below the age of 13 it is better to pare nails on Wednesdays. Morning hours are recommended
3. Before starting, you must soak your fingers and toes in water for few minutes and wipe these dry
4. There are two activities: clipping and filing. First you do the clipping and then the filing. The procedure is given below:
Firstly clip nails on the right hand starting from the right thumb and ending with the small finger. Thereafter, use the nail file to smooth the end and edges of the nails starting from thumb finger and ending with the small finger. Now shift to the left hand and do the same way
When it comes to toe nail the sequence is changed. Firstly you clip toe nails on the right foot starting from the little toe and ending with the big toe known as Hallux. Thereafter, use the nail file to smooth the end and edges of the toe nails starting from little toe and ending with the big toe. Now shift to the left foot and do the same way
5. After paring nails, use a disinfectant to wash your fingers and the toes thoroughly and wipe these dry
6. The cut nails from fingers and toes should be preferably disposed by burying these in the sand. If this is not possible use water in the wash basin to flush these out
7. You can clip finger nails once in a fortnight; as regards to toe nails you can pare either fortnightly or monthly as the case may be
8. During emergency such as physical injury to the nails, this Do List can be ignored.
Avoid List
1. Do not trample upon the cut pieces of nails
2. You should never burn cut pieces of nails in any manner
3. Do not leave cut pieces of nails inside the house unattended, as it leads to poverty and ill-health
4. You should not clip nails on Mondays, the first day of the calendar month, the first day of the New Moon and on the Full Moon day. Solar eclipse takes place on the first day of the New Moon and Lunar Eclipse on the Full Moon day and clipping nails in these days is a taboo in terms of Cosmics
5. Women who have just conceived should not pare nails for 21 days from the day of conception lest it leads to complications during pregnancy
6. Never bite nails as this is injurious to health especially the intestine
7. Dreaming cut pieces of nails results in abject poverty or terminal illness; hence if you have such dreams consult an elder or medical professional promptly.

International Time Standards mandate the day to begin at midnight. Although this is suitable for communication and transaction purposes it does not help you in understanding your personality or ability. There is an alternative based on Sun rise time where the day begins with the sun up. In this blog post I introduce the alternative system based on sun rise for you to get a feel of it.
Day
A day has two manifestations; the first one is the day of the week. Traditionally the days in a week start from Sunday and end in Saturday. Till very recently calendars showed the days in a week in this manner. The second manifestation is the date which ranges from 1 to 31( maximum) days in a month. A day is considered to have 24 hours or 1,440 minutes or 86,400 seconds. We call this as a solar day.
Beginning of a Day
There are three ways in which the beginning of a day is announced:
1. International Time Standards dictate that the day begins at 12.00 midnight or put it other way 00.00 a.m. This time system is universally accepted for communication and transactions. Strangely, the day begins in dark under this calculation. Let us assume Sunday 24 January 2010 as a day for our calculation. The day number 24 and the day of Sunday therefore begin at Saturday midnight or Sunday morning of zero hour and zero minute
2. Arabic Hebrew Systems command that the day begins when the sun sets in a particular country. Once again this is a strange phenomenon where the day begin with the onset of darkness. Let us assume Sunday 24 January 2010 as a day for our calculation and we take the locality as London in United Kingdom. The day number 24 and the day of Sunday therefore begin on Sundown of the previous day that is Saturday 23 January 2010
3. Vedic Indian System reasons out that the day begins on Sunrise in a particular locality. Let me give you Sun Rise Chart for London, United Kingdom for the week starting on Sunday, 24 January:
Sun Rise Data for London – fourth week
24-January-2010 Sunday 7.50 a.m.
25-January-2010 Monday 7.49 a.m.
26-January-2010 Tuesday 7.48 a.m.
27-January-2010 Wednesday 7.46 a.m.
28-January-2010 Thursday 7.45 a.m.
29-January-2010 Friday 7.43 a.m.
30-January-2010 Saturday 7.42 a.m.
Under this system the day number 24 and the day of Sunday therefore begin with Sunup on Sunday at 7.50 am. It is significant, that the Sun rise time tend to vary for given days.
Cosmics
While International Time Standards are appropriate for communication and transaction purposes these cannot help you in understanding your personality or ability. Day must break-out with light. What else can do this aspect other than the Sun. Hence, I hold with the Vedic Indian System that has reasoned out the sun up as the appropriate time to begin a day. Furthermore, this system is much more relevant and meaningful in terms of Cosmics: the hidden aspects that help unravel your personality, fame and fate. To illustrate, let me analyse two sets of birth data occurring on Wednesday 27 January 2010.
1. Baby born at 7.00 a.m. in London: The birth characteristics of this baby relate to Tuesday and the ruling number is 26 which is further reduced to number 8. This baby will grow to be an active, aggressive, engaged in indoor sports, relying more on physical energy but at times moody
2. Baby born at 8.00 a.m. in London: The birth characteristics of this baby relate to Wednesday and the ruling number is 27 which is further reduced to number 9. This baby will grow to be an intelligent, artistic, engaged in outdoor sports relying more on mental energy most of the time cheery.
When you re-cast your birth details in terms of Sun rise data, you will get more insight into your personality and understand what you can do better in improving your life. Keep in your mind that to understand your Cosmics you need to shift to the Sunrise time.

Recent spat by Israel on the Turkish ambassador brought in its wake a diplomatic skirmish between the two countries resulting in a rare Israeli apology. Will the relationship between the two erstwhile partners in the volatile region of Middle-East improve? The question is in the minds of many political analysts. I examined the state of play between Turkey and Israel by watching the recent Solar Eclipse. In this bog post, I write about the Solar Eclipse in terms of Astronomy and Cosmics and pen my interpretation in point form.
Brief
Turkey and Israel were good buddies throughout the establishment of Israel in 1947. In fact, Turkey was one of the few countries that gave diplomatic recognition to the nascent country. Both Turkey and Israel moulded a political and economic relationship that stood intact during Israel’s war with Arab countries. Later in the nineties, the relationship took the shape of strategic partnership with the military dimension added to political and economic spheres. One reason for this is the similar outlook both countries had in terms of deeply hostile relationship with their respective neighbours. Turkey had to grapple with Armenia, Syria, Iran, the rebellious Kurds and ever nagging Cyprus. Israel continued to be beset with problems with the Arab neighbours and an intractable Palestinian crisis.
The turning point came in December 2008 when Israel sent its troops to Gaza on mission codenamed, “Operation Cast Lead” which resulted in the death of Palestinians in thousands. The world felt aghast, so did Turkey whose Premier Recep Erdogan was furious as he was in the midst of peacemaking between Israel and Syria. From this moment things went bad for the partnership. Recep Erdogan upped his antipathy in statements and a walk out from Davos conference in January 2009 after delivering a stinging criticism on Shimon Peres, Israeli President was a litmus test. The recent diplomatic ridicule by the Deputy Foreign Minister over the Turkish ambassador Ogug Celikkol made things worse. A Turkish ultimatum brought Israel to remorse followed by an apology but not to any sense of pragmatism though. Last Sunday, Ehud Barak visited Turkey on a previously scheduled trip but with an added emphasis on mending ties. He was partially successful. He had long and fruitful meetings with Turkish Defence Minister Vecdi Gonul and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. However, the plums he looked for in meeting Prime Minister Recep Erdogan or President Abdullah Gul or Defence Chief of Staff Ilker Basbug evaded him.
Solar Eclipse
Astronomy
The solar Eclipse that took place on Friday January 15, 2010 was the longest annular and partial one lasting about 11 minutes and 8 seconds. It is significant because it is the longest for the millennium as the next longest one is not due until 3043 A.D. This particular eclipse is known as Saros 141 Series. The series began in May 1,613 A.D. It repeats every 18 years and the one that occurred on Friday is 23 rd out of 70 such eclipses in the Saros 141 Series. When this eclipse took place the Sun was covered by the moon leaving the outer ring of the Sun glowing in muted brightness. Almost half of the Globe came under darkness or partial darkness, especially at the height of eclipse at 7.47 GMT/UT when the shadow cast by the Moon was seen on the earth for an extent of 225 miles. Beginning from Chad in Africa the eclipse spread to the Sea of China in the East. There are few significant pointers in this Eclipse.
1. The Eclipse was at the Moon’s Ascending Node
2. The Moon was very farthest from the Earth called apogee at some 255,000 miles away
3. At the height of the Eclipse at 7.47 GMT/UT, the position of the Planets Sun and Moon are given below:
The Sun
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 19 hour 47 minutes 58 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) 21 degree 7 minutes 21 seconds
The Moon
Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 19 hour 47 minutes 48 seconds
Declination (Celestial Latitude) 21 degree 6 minutes 22 seconds
4. There are no significant stars in the area where the eclipse took place
5. To the south east of the location there are two celestial bodies; Venus at 19 hour and 52 minutes and far away M 75 Globular cluster at 20 hour and 6 minutes.
Cosmics
1. The Sun, the Moon, Venus and the M 75 Globular are in the Sagittarius constellation whose occult ownership is ascribed to Jupiter. Sagittarius constellation represents the Centaur (a figure of half –horse and half-man in Greek mythology). Ptolemy originally drew this figure and is followed ever since. This constellation is full of bright stars and a wealth of deep sky objects such as clusters and nebulae. Additionally, the constellation heralds boon for trade and economy
2. Venus personifies Wealth & prosperity, Knowledge & arts, Happiness & enjoyment, Luxury & comfort, Sensuality & civility, Beauty and brains etc
3. M75 Globular is 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. This is a massive cluster, very remote portraying military and political fame and action.
4. The Moon is located at Lunar Mansion 22 of Al-Sad Al- Dhabih (The fortune of the slayer). This Lunar Mansion leads to political manipulation or political capitulation in the external theatre. It is also bad for partnership in economy or of military nature between nations. But the Lunar Mansion is good for garnering internal political power.
Interpretation
1. Turkey Israel relationship dips from one of strategic partnership to that of managing tactical issues. Turkey goes on its declared policy of “zero problems with the neighbours” and would not require any partnership with Israel on strategic level. By the same token, Israel continues to rely on military as a sole buttress to keep the country safe from the wrath of Arab neighbours and would not countenance a critical ally in the form of peace loving and non-belligerent Turkey
2. Turkish economy expands with peace dividends and the need to rely on Israel as “partner in the same boat” vanishes into thin air. Israeli economy also expands in military related arms and technology but would not be sufficient to keep Turkey aligned to it. Earlier Israel was very dismissive of the political actors in Turkey often relying on the military actors in Turkey. Now this takes a 360 degree turn for which Israel is ill-prepared
3. Both countries would make grandiose statements in public regarding improving relationship and putting the past behind, but would continue to work in the opposite direction privately
4. Turkey becomes a key player in international and regional diplomacy whereas Israel languishes in isolation in the region and much of the globe
5. Turkey is wooed by countries ranging widely such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia who are competing for leadership of Arab league and Iran and Sudan who are struggling to stay put amidst the global outburst against them. Israel on the other hand struggles to make it relevant to any of these countries in peace and prosperity
6. Both countries would continue to bash each other via the electronic and print media as a state policy to satisfy their respective electorates
7. A lop-sided equation has come into force: Turkey needs Israel less and Israel needs Turkey more
8. Outside the equation, Israel is losing clout in the United States while Turkey is moving more towards Russia
9. The final nail on the coffin is struck when Israel invades either Gaza or Lebanon in the near future out of sheer frustration.

British actress Laila Rouass has a colourful and varied career. Starting her celebrity life as a VJ she has flaunted her talent in modelling and acting as well. Her memorable performance as “Amber Gates” in British TV drama “Footballers’ Wives” made her a star to be reckoned with. But her real form was found recently in the BBC One Reality Programme, Strictly Come Dancing, where she was featured as a dancer. What struck me were her feet that are made for dancing. In this blog post I examine the Cosmics of her feet to find out what do these feet tell about the dancing ability of this celebrity?
Laila Rouass, Bio Snippets
Laila Rouass was born on June 22, 1971 in London, with a mix of genetics from Morocco and Goa. She started her career as a Video Jockey on Channel V in India, where she has honed her skills in the art of multi media presentation. She later modelled for prestigious names such as French Couture, House, and Chanel. Later she moved on to acting in films debuting in the Hollywood movie “Fear of Feathers”. But it was the British TV that made her a star. Soap opera “Family Affairs”, science fiction “Primeval” are feathers in her cap. Her performance as “Amber Gates “in the TV drama “Footballers’ Wives” made her indelible mark on the British media and entertainment industry. Surprisingly the BBC One reality show Strictly Come Dancing Series 7, concluded in December 2009 brought to light a hidden talent of Laila Rouass: Perfect Dancer. Though she was knocked off in the quarter finals, Laila Rouass was one of the two finds spotlighted in this competition the other being Ali ( Alexandra ) Bastian, herself a British actress. Vital statistics of Laila Rouass of 36-25-36 along with the moderate height at 5 feet 6 inches, earned for her a mooring in the FHM Magazine’s “100 Sexiest Women in the World” consecutively in years 2004 and 2005. To cap it all, the British Magazine Eastern Eye gave her a slot at Fifth Position in ranking of Asia’s Sexiest Women consecutively in years 2006 and 2007. Celebrity news portal, Askmen.com gave her coveted 87 marks for her strong physique propped up by her shapely legs and brimming feet.
Feet for Dancing
For every dancer feet serve as important body parts; feet act as conduit firstly in combining physical strength with skills of dancing and thereafter translating the resultant combination into a well executed dancing routine. Although hips, thighs, knees are important it is the part of leg below the knee that matters a lot in steps in any form of dancing. The stress of dancing is placed on ankles, heels, feet uppers and toes. That is why it is not un-usual for dancers to get twisted ankle, crooked toes and sprained heels or feet uppers. The strain and pounding these body parts had to undergo is immense. More often than not, dancers experience calluses, corns, bunions, rubbed skins and broken toes. To buttress the strain and pounding and to make their ankles, heels, feet uppers & toes flexible and manoeuvrable dancers need strong and supple shanks above and equally strong and fleshy feet below.
Feet of Laila Rouass
The Cosmics of the feet of Laila Rouass are described below:
Laila Rouass: Picture One
http://www.moejackson.com/archives/2006/04/20/laila-rouass-hot-indian-of-the-week?page=0,4
The Picture One shows right foot forward for Laila Rouass. You can notice the straight shank of the right foot, thick, supple and reinforced with strong calf muscle that gives physical strength and cosmic energy. You will not fail to see the centre bone on the ankle jutting out resulting in almost equal division of the muscles on both sides of the foot upper. This kind of physique works well for a dancer who relies on foot work. From sub-conscious mind Laila Rouass is very concerned of the aspect of foot work. In fact in the Strictly Come Dancing competition she has appreciated the fellow dancer Ali Bastion’s “legwork”. Her strong physique together with the formation of ankles and feet upper provide her with a high degree of co-ordination in the steps of dancing.
Laila Rouass: Picture Two
http://www.moejackson.com/archives/2006/04/20/laila-rouass-hot-indian-of-the-week?page=0,1
The sitting posture of Laila Rouass in Picture Two displays all the features she has to become a great dancer. The number one feature is her toes that are perfectly aligned, fleshy and glow in cosmic energy; these can handle any dance routine including pirouetting. The second feature is fullness of the ankles, heels, feet upper and the toes working in harmony in executing each step in a dance programme. If you look up towards the knee or when you look down towards her feet you will not miss grace and beauty being part of her well endowed feet. Such feet made for dancing give her the ability to turn her ankle and shift the burden from one part to another easily and comfortably.
Laila Rouass: Picture Three
http://www.bollygallery.com/d/26098-1/Laila+Rouass_038.jpg
Bent knee of Laila Rouass in another sitting posture depicted in Picture Three completes our analysis. This time it is her left leg in luscious glow orchestrating her shank, heel and foot upper that was captured by this photo shot. Laila Rouass can do any dancing steps effortlessly because she has fleshy and rounded heel sitting pretty well with the shank to the left and foot upper below in the above picture. This formation gives her high degree of composure as a dancer as she can bend and turn her feet in equal felicity. Moreover, her feet give grace as a swan and are light as a flamingo. What an amazing combination for Laila Rouass, whose feet are made for dancing.

Lord Murugan and Goddess Valli two of the Hindu Deities in love are to exchange the vows of marriage and as the moment approaches, the priest sneezes. So the divine nuptial is postponed to the following year. This scene is reminiscent of the tradition associated with the aspect of a simple sneeze, a biological re-action that is steeped in tradition. In this blog post, I write about sneezing and what it means to you in terms of cosmics.
Sneezing
Sneezing is an expulsion of air from the lungs through the nose as well as mouth. It is normally considered as a healthy biological re-action. Nevertheless, for those who are around the sneezer it may mean different things and may be even un-healthy if the sneezer does not cover the volley of air and moisture landing on them.
Sneezing though looks very simple is a complicated body re-action, co-ordinated by the sneeze centre located in your brain. It involves muscles in abdomen, chest, vocal chords, diaphragm, throat, mouth, nose and eyelids. While sneezing your heart beats slower, your speech is interrupted, your eyes close and your lungs constrict to expel the air. The speed of sneezing averages between 60 to 120 miles per hour. Strong men record higher speeds than the weaker ones; Sneezing in men is faster than in women; Young have more forceful sneeze than the old do.
Causes
This natural phenomenon is the way the body adjusts to an external cause such as foreign matter or ambience or caused by an internal issue. The following are some of the chief causes:
1. Any foreign particle or irritant being attached to the nasal tract thereby disturbing the mucous membrane
2. Any viral infection or any virus that has made a temporary home in the nasal tract causing swelling and subsequent irritation
3. Dusty ambience
4. Common cold, Flu or Infection in the respiratory track
5. Wearing clothes that are dusty; where dust mites thrive
6. High pollen count in the air
7. Allergy caused by animal dander; hair , feathers, scales of skin and other materials shed from the body by pets , reptiles and others
8. In rare cases when a person eats to a full stomach
9. A person with cold body might start to sneeze when exposed to sunlight or bright artificial light; this is known as photic sneeze
10. A person with hot body might start to sneeze when exposed to cold wind or water.
Precaution
Following guidelines help you in managing sneeze and in improving your life:
1. Always keep a handkerchief or tissue stand by so that you can warp it around the nose to absorb the air and moisture lest it disturbs others
2. Do not close your nose or mouth when sneezing
3. If you have frequent bouts of sneezing do not drive vehicles
4. If you have difficulty in sneezing learn to take deep breath
5. If you get a sensation of sneezing but the actual sneeze does not take place then check your nostrils; at a given time one of the nostrils does intake the air. Smell a pinch of pepper powder via that nostril; sneeze would occur normally. However, do not over-do this.
6. Chronic inability to sneeze may have been caused by an issue in Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT); consult a doctor for necessary medication to facilitate sneezing
7. Frequent or non-stoppable sneeze may have been caused by an issue in ENT or in the functioning of the Brain; consult a doctor for necessary medication for suppression of sneezing
8. Asthmatic persons and those who have allergies must take special care about sneezing.
Cosmics
The following are few of the cosmics related to sneezing; however care must be taken to exclude sneeze occurring due to causes listed under Causes in the above paragraphs:
1. During the divine marriage ceremony between Lord Murugan and Goddess Valli, Hindu Deities in Katatragama, in the south-eastern Ceylon, the moment of exchanging nuptial vows by garlanding each other arrives. All the devotees in the Hindu temple look at the divine couple with bated breath. Then the spook also arrives; the officiating priest sneezes. In the customs of Ceylon sneezing at the time of exchanging nuptial vows is frowned upon and considered as a non-starter. Now that the priest has sneezed the official wedding ceremony is postponed to the following year, so that the devotees can flock to the temple once again. This divine marriage ceremony takes place every year for centuries and had never been consummated
2. When you sneeze once it foretells a negative result; it indicates something going wrong somewhere; your enemy is plotting; your health is not in good shape.
3. When someone else sneezes when you begin to do something the result could be disastrous. When a cat sneezes when you begin to go out, you must postpone the trip; when a man sneezes hold back your steps and breathe in and out for eighteen times before you step out. When a woman sneezes, it heralds protection from the un-known so you can gladly go
4. When you sneeze twice, it means that someone is speaking about you and favourably too
5. When someone else sneezes twice, it means the matter you are thinking about or doing will be completed successfully
6. You or anyone sneezing three times consecutively and stops thereafter heralds good time and joy
7. While travelling or in meeting a person sneezing on your left or behind indicates good omen; likewise a person sneezing on your right or in front indicates a bad omen.

The recent crisis in Dubai was somewhat over-blown; Dubai has every potential to weather the financial storm and bounce back to its former glory in business. This was revealed during the cast of the Heavens when the Blue Moon was shining as the New Year dawned. This blog post charts the day of the blue moon in December 2009 and pens the cosmic forecast for Dubai.
Introduction
Dubai, the second largest out of the seven emirates in UAE, has gone through baptism of fire recently when a debt crisis began to roast it, against the background of the baking hot air of the desert. In late November 2009 the Dubai World the Government owned Realty Company sought to postpone scheduled instalment payment on its U S Dollars 60 Billions or so debt and to re-negotiate the maturity profile. Newswires picked up this message and made it an over-blown financial crisis that saw in its wake downgrading of not only the debt instruments issued by Dubai World but others connected with banking, reality and transportation sectors in Dubai. Emaar Properties, Dubai Ports World, Dubai Electricity & Water Authority are few of the companies whose credit ratings were hunkered down to below investment grades. All these could have been expected, because the moratorium requested for the debt of the company Dubai World amounts to about three forth of the Government debt. Hence, the notion that Dubai is in trouble could easily feed into the minds of investors in particular and others in general.
In order to study the future prospects of Dubai, I looked at the Heavens on December 31, 2009 as the New Year is set to dawn and the full moon arose. Over the eastern sky of Dubai at 11.13. p.m. Dubai Standard Time, the full Moon was majestic in its light and brightness. As a blue moon (the second full moon in December 2009) its glow is fascinatingly beautiful. The Moon was almost very closest to earth, which we call Perigee and its illumination topped at 99.99%. Furthermore, the location of the Moon in the sky in Gemini constellation and the fact that afterwards the Moon was to go through a partial lunar eclipse made me to look at this phenomenon intently.
Location of the Full Moon
At this time the Moon was located at Right Ascension (celestial longitude) of 6 hours 42 minutes and 28 seconds and at Declination (celestial latitude) of 24 degree 6 minutes 18 seconds. The moon was also above ecliptic plane a line in which the Sun travels in the celestial sphere. When a planet moves beyond the ecliptical line it is called out of bound. Moreover, the Moon partially covered (called occulted) the shining Star Mebsuta at this time. To be precise Mebsuta is located at Right Ascension 6 hours 44 minutes and 33 seconds and Declination 25 degree 7 minutes and 14 seconds. Though in terms of distance Mebsuta is about 2 arc minutes away, for people on the earth it is different as we miss the light of Mebsuta during this time. Fascinatingly, The Moon was placed on a safety net in the sky chart. There are four stars forming the Arabic Letter “Lam” (English Alphabet “L”) symbolizing a baby cot. These stars are Capella on the north , Al-Betelgeuse on the south, Al-Debaran towards west and Procyon to the east.
Star Mebsuta
The name of the star Mebsuta is derived from Arabic “Al-Mabsuta” meaning “outstretched”. Astronomically known as Epsilon Gemini, Mebsuta is a double star in the Gemini constellation. The primary star has 3.2 magnitude of brightness and glows in white and yellowish colour. Its companion, however is a small 9.5 magnitude blue star. As a rare type of super giant Mebsuta is much cooler than our sun at 4,360 Kelvin. Located 900 light years away and shining some 7,600 times luminous than the Sun it must be about 150 times the size of the Sun. Indeed it is a great super giant. Mebsuta is burning helium at the core like our Sun and losing its mass steadily. Though located close to the ecliptical plane, this star is rarely occulted by planets other than the Moon. The last incident of such occultation occurred on August 4, 1976 when Mars passed by Mebsuta.
Lunar Mansion
When Full Moon arose in Dubai, it was in the Sixth Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al- Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al- Hannah (The Mark). This Lunar Mansion is relevant for those who are born to royal lineage or to noble genes. It has a mixed bag; on one hand it makes the king to go through financial woes ; on the other hand it will preserve the dignity of the kingdom. Programmes, business ventures and any others initiated during this time would give more than satisfactory results.
Dubai Cosmic Forecast
The location of the Moon and the Star Mebsuta together give positive and negative cosmics. I elaborate the cosmic forecast of this phenomenon in relation to Dubai as follows:
1. Dubai changes gear: From top gear Dubai goes on low gear to wade through the muddy water of debt crisis. Once it is out of this crisis it would be on cruise gear
2. Changing Direction: Dubai undergoes change in focus and approach from a city state mentality to a country state mentality
3. Dubai must develop in the lines of a six pointed star, known as Star of David. In addition to Realty and Trade sectors, other lines of economic activities could develop. Being outstretched in one or two areas is too risky and this fact is now clearly understood
4. The year 2010 marks fire-fighting and at the same time setting in motion future oriented programmes. The knee jerk response by the international financial community and the aftermath portray the fire fighting scene, while the recent opening of the “Burj Khalifa” the World’s Tallest Tower with 160 floors and 2,716 feet in height is an harbinger to the futuristic programmes
5. Dubai continues to be the standard bearer as a financial centre and as a trade centre. The role model it seeks incorporates features of Singapore and Tokyo
6. Dubai has not reached its potential yet. It has notched about 25 %. So far. Hence the remaining 75 % of growth potential need to be scaled by the emirate
7. Dubai needs to go for high profile marketing with strategic depth
8. Safety net in and around Dubai would be almost intact
9. In summary, Dubai Bounces Back in Business in matter of time.

Being hot tempered is not necessarily a bad quality in you because you can take several measures to cool down your anger. However if being hot tempered is a quality acquired by birth then you need to put extra efforts to cool off. This blog post explains details of anger and anger management to enable you to adopt suitable measures in improving your life.
Getting Angry
Many writers make a big hullabaloo about people getting angry as if it is the worst thing ever done. This is completely a false argument. Even in mythology, Gods in Greek, Roman and Hindu lore have had enough of temper tantrums. So why is the fuss? It is because the norms of the society demand that everybody suppresses his anger. Aristotle in his writing, however, has mentioned about the concept of “Catharsis” a situation where you let out your feelings so that the resultant situation becomes saner and better. Blowing your fuse at times is as natural as your go for fun and frolic. It can be excused as well. But if you habitually flare up the society shuns you as an angry person; likewise if you start to get physical while in episodes of anger and land few blows on others then you are crossing the red line.
Showing Anger
There are two ways of venting your feelings:
1. Internal Expression of Anger: In this case you keep your anger within your body and mind. This method does help you in the short run but in the long run does lot of harm. You tend to spend endless nights rolling on the bed thinking about the incident. Or you harp on the issue for long time that your elements tune you to be a morose person. By suppressing anger one day you are going to implode within; face a breakdown in heart and other vital organs. Some of you can get into neurosis and complications in connection with the proper functioning of the brain
2. External Expression of Anger: In this case the cathartic effect comes into play. You blast out and that is the end. So you feel relieved unless others are hurt by your rage. There are three ways of showing anger externally:
2.1. You grimace, show a long face or mimic; here you use the face to show your bubble of rage in a muted manner
2.2. You shout, scold or leather out; here you use your voice mainly against family members, business associates, friends and relations or sometimes members of the public
2.3. You use your hands and legs to demonstrate your rage; here it is all physical resulting in damages to your limbs and consequential damages to others as well. This can lead to family disharmony, business related issues and perhaps financial loss
Causes of Anger
Anger can be caused by a single factor or several factors put together. Provocation by others, disappointment, mental hurt, depression, touching the raw nerve by others especially in religion and politics, stress, busy lifestyle are main causes. Women take their anger out on husbands and other family members when their ego is under siege. Moreover, women who do not get sexual satisfaction from their spouses have tend to fly into rage frequently. Brooding behaviour also leads to destructive forms of anger. More than that anger can be caused by characteristics you acquire at the time of birth. This birth related cosmics continue to prevail in you unless mitigatory measures are implemented.
Anger Management
If you blow hot once in a way it does not matter to you or to others. But if you are getting angry habitually you will be branded with“Hot-Tempered” label which is very difficult to take it off on the one hand and on the other hand leads the society at large to shun you. To avoid this situation you should follow a system called anger management. It consists of two types of therapy: one deals with short term cooling down and the other uses long term cooling off.
A) Short term Cooling Down
Here we go like the cowboys fingers on the trigger:
1. Just look out of the window at the sky or trees or at nature
2. Drink a glass of water
3. Splash cool water on your face and if possible daub your chest area with a freshened moist tissue
4. Have a cool drink made from fruits
5. Lie down on the floor for about 4 to 8 minutes
6. Change your seat, close your eyes and count from 1 to 28; by the time you reach 28 your system gets fresh thoughts and sensation. The number 28 relates to the Lunar Mansions
7. Become a baby and sing a nursery rhyme in soft voice
8. If you are unable to control physical urge get the waste paper basket, sit on the floor, pour the contents on the floor, now begin tearing the papers as if you are shredding these, put everything back, now you are done with your anger. A Swedish ceramic manufacturer had a heap of damaged ceramics, stored in his backyard left to be pounded; he was also aware that most employees in ceramic industry get frequently angry. So he circulated a note: If you are not happy with the management go into the backyard and damn those ceramics. He got the result: the employees gave vent to their feelings and the damaged ceramics were pounded to dust
9. Sprawl on your cushioned chair, bring your hands together on the back of your head and rest your head resolutely, put your feet up on the table, close your eyes, now get into dream world, think about your time as a youth, sauntering on beaches with your girl friends, think of your mother and the love and affection she showered on you. Result: you are fully relaxed.
B) Long term Cooling Off
Here you reflect on the basics and allow your cosmics to work for you:
1. Do a self- assessment; Write why are you getting angry frequently, what can be done, whom you should talk to; go thorough the process of understanding you and your present state and how you wish to make your future by keeping cool
2. Consult a therapist or a neutral person and get his advice
3. Learn to relax
4. Understand your birth cosmics. The following are some of the birth characteristics associated with generally angry persons:
4.1 Birth on Tuesdays and Saturdays store and harness more adrenalin resulting in anger and frustration
4.2 If your predominant element is fire the tendency to lose control and display emotions is high
4.3 When your middle chakra in your body is not in equilibrium you can fly into rage momentarily. The base chakra deals with hunger, the heart chakra deals with impulse and the middle chakra deals with anger. The coordination between these chakras is directed by the middle chakra. When it fails either hunger or impulse or both can make you blow a fuse. You know the proverb: an hungry man is an angry man
4.4 When your birth Moon is in Aries or Leo constellations
4.5 When your birth Moon is either in New Moon or in Full Moon Lunation Cycles
4.6 When your birth Moon is in either of the Lunar Mansions: Al-Sheratain, Al-Debaran, Al-Qalb, and Al-Jabbah
If you have any of these characteristics you have to do lot more in cooling off your hot temper. You are advised to wear light coloured clothes, use cooling gems and crystals such as pearls and moonstones, drink plenty of water and keep your stomach one third with solid foods, one third with liquids and one third empty.

So you have found your Sun sign by looking at popular newspaper columns and internet pages and adopt it as your own. The dates given for these Sun signs are made arbitrarily and do not relate to the actual transit of the Sun. Find your Right Sun sign by reading this blog post. I explain details of the transit of the Sun so that you can find your Sun sign easily and go on improving your life.
Your Right Sun Sign
Just check the actual transit dates given in the table below and find out Your Right Sun Sign. The table details twelve Zodiacal signs plus Ophiuchus, a Sun sign that was ignored by the ancients but plays a major role today. Hence, there are thirteen such Sun signs now. In Astronomy, these Sun signs are known as “Constellations”. The table below indicates the name of the constellation, date Sun enters into the constellation, date Sun leaves from the constellation and the duration in days the Sun stays in a constellation, as shown by Dr. Lee T. Shapiro, Director Morehead Planetarium, of the University of North Carolina. The accompanying notes explain finer points over the Sun transit:
Transit of the Sun
Constellation Date Enters Date Leaves Duration of stay in days
Aries April 19 May 13 25
Taurus May 14 June 19 37
Gemini June 20 July 20 31
Cancer July 21 August 9 20
Leo August 10 September 15 37
Virgo September 16 October 30 45
Libra October 31 November 22 23
Scorpio November 23 November 29 7
Ophiuchus November 30 December 17 18
Sagittarius December 18 January 18 32
Capricorn January 19 February 15 28
Aquarius February 16 March 11 24
Pisces March 12 April 18 38
Notes:
1. The Sun transits into 13 constellations and not twelve as popularly known. In addition, the Sun while in the Pisces constellation breaks new ground by parking into the Cetus constellation on March 27. What happens is that half of the Sun’s disk is in Cetus constellation and half of the Sun’s disk is still in the Pisces constellation a unique process that lasts almost 18 hours on that day
2. Depending on the leap year adjustment the days may fluctuate plus or minus one day for every Sun sign
3 Those who are born on border days have to check the precise position of their Sun sign by looking at the sky map of their time, date and place of birth, or should consult an astronomer to trace the position of the Sun. This is because the Sun unlike the universally accepted day, does not begin its journey on twelve midnight. The time of its entry into a constellation can take place any time during the 24 hour slot
4. Duration of the stay of the Sun in these constellations is uneven. The Sun stays more than 30 days in six constellations: Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Whereas The Sun stays less than 30 days in seven constellations: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Ophiuchus, Capricorn and Aquarius
5. The Astronomical name for Scorpio is Scorpius; Capricorn is Capricornus; while the calling names for Ophiuchus vary: snake handler, snake charmer, serpent carrier and its Latin name Serpentius are very common
6. The Sun stays more days in Ophiuchus than in Scorpio
7. Just above 60 per cent of the global population is born under six Sun signs of
Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces
8. The longest stay of Sun is in Virgo constellation and the shortest stay is in Scorpio constellation.
Ophiuchus
Most of you have read about the twelve Zodiacal Sun signs. Probably you have not learnt much about the Ophiuchus Sun sign. Let me give you few details of the Ophiuchus. This Sun sign comes in between Scorpio somewhat of a negative Sun sign and Sagittarius an extremely positive Sun sign. Hence Ophiuchus combines positive and negative features. If you are born between November 30 and December 17 you come under the Ophiuchus Sun sign. Here is a review of this Sun sign:
Positive Cosmics: Person with becalming and balming effect, most of the time a healer, in every family a “ sugar daddy” ; compassion is your hall mark ; high dexterity and manoeuvrability in handling any situations; an excellent problem-solver and trouble shooter; moderate but satisfactory lifestyle ; ability to forecast and clairvoyance; brings opposing factions together; dull looking person with passion for bright and flashing colours; always an idealist; hates crime and criminals; artistic and expressive tendencies make you famous in publishing , media, fashion and entertainment industry; during Christmas you don the clothes of Santa Claus to distribute gifts; you do well in professions bordering on medicine, therapy and ones that bring happiness and laughter to others
Negative Cosmics: Fall victim to conspiracy and deceit; land in unseen troubles without your knowledge; too passionate in love accompanied with too quick failures in family life; prone to accidents and accidental poisoning; high sensitivity mar your health resulting in breakdowns of heart and vital organs.

Bright in the sky, planet Venus is similar to our Earth. But many of her features are so unique that Venus has gained importance not only in Astronomy but in your life too. This blog post details facts about Venus in terms of Astronomy, Legend and Cosmics to enable you to understand Venus better and embark upon improving your life and lifestyle.
Astronomy
Venus is a feminine planet and I have used the word she or her appropriately:
1. Similarity to Earth: She is considered as twin sister of Earth due to similarity in terms of size, mass and gravity. The diameter of Venus is 7,521 miles about 86% of that of the Earth; her mass is about 82 % of that of the Earth. Gravity of Venus is equal to 90% of the Earth’s gravity; for example a person weighing 100 pounds on Earth would weigh 90 pounds on Venus
2. Difference between Earth and Venus: Key difference lie in the atmosphere of Venus which is made up of mostly carbon dioxide. It is too hot there with average temperature on the surface ranging about 460 degree Celsius compared to Earth’s hottest temperature at 58 Celsius. Furthermore, the density in the atmosphere of Venus is very high; something like 92 times the air pressure of Earth prevails on Venus. If you land there you would simply be crushed and melted. Yet anther difference is equally appalling. Sulphuric acid in the cloud surrounding Venus together with lack of water on surface or beneath makes the planet inhospitable
3. Proximity to Earth: Venus is the closest planet from the Earth; her mean distance is calculated as 0.28 astronomical Unit or about 26 million miles. In her orbit around the Sun, Venus travels closest to the Earth at 23.7 million miles; when it moves away from the Earth her distance is about 162 million miles
4. Appearance: Venus appears both in mornings and evenings, a scenario that led ancient Greeks to conclude that there are two such planets: Phosphorus for the morning one and Hesperus for the Evening one. However, modern astronomers found that Venus appears at times in the western sky in the evening when Venus is moving towards the Earth and other times Venus appears in the eastern sky in the morning when Venus is moving away from the Earth
5. Conjunction: In her orbit around the Sun Venus can come in between Earth and the Sun which is known as Inferior conjunction where the light of Venus is lost due to the glare of the Sun. When Venus goes to the opposite point, Sun comes in between Venus and Earth which is known as superior conjunction where the Sun completely occults (covers) Venus and shuts her light falling on Earth
6. Brightness: Venus is the brightest planet viewed from Earth after the Sun and the Moon. There are several reasons: one is the proximity and the other in the manner in which Venus rotates. The silvery planet rotates so slowly on her axis that it takes 243 days for a single revolution. Compare this with Earth’s rotation of 24 hours. Now in her orbit around the Sun Venus takes 224 days just about seven and half months to complete the journey. This feature makes Venus remaining almost as a day planet
7. Rotation: The other four planets namely, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn rotate on their axis West to East called counter clockwise, whereas Venus rotates on her axis East to West called clockwise. There is a reason for this phenomenon. Millenniums ago Venus was struck by a huge asteroid. As a result Venus turned upside down. Even today Venus rotates on its axis that tilts about 177 degrees. So Venus is seen as rotating East to West. If she was in her original condition then she would behave like the other four planets
8. Topography: Her surface is covered by caters created by volcanoes and have topography of huge mountains (higher than mountains on Earth) with valleys in between representing bosoms of a lady. Hence the planet is considered feminine.
Legend
1. Venus is named after the Roman Goddess of love and beauty due to silvery light and the appearance of heaving bosom of a lady
2. Venus is the jewel in the sky bright with her carbon dioxide representing blue diamonds
3. Both Holy Scriptures Bible and Quran call Venus as the “morning star”; Venus is one of the stars that guided the three magi to Infant Jesus
4. Hindus called Venus, Shukra personifying the great teacher of Ashura by the name Shukracharya who is said to bestow many boons including Wealth & prosperity, Knowledge & arts, Happiness & enjoyment, Luxury & comfort, Love & marriage, Sex & pleasure, Sensuality & civility and Beauty and brains.
Cosmics
The position of Venus at the time of your birth is very important to understand the nature of your cosmics:
Firstly, you have to find out where Venus was posited at the time of your birth. Theoretically, Venus visits 24 constellations in the sky. In addition to the Twelve Zodiacal Constellations where Venus spends most number of days it also visits Four Non-Zodiacal Constellations: Ophiuchus, Cetus, Orion and Sextant. Moreover, Venus touches eight other constellations one day or less out of 1000 days as calculated by the Astronomical Institute of Utrecht University in Germany. Venus in different constellations means different things for you. Venus in Aries can make you a famed soldier and in Capricornus can make you a renowned professor. Venus in Virgo however can make you a ladies man
Secondly, you have to find out whether Venus was in the sky map of your place of birth at the time of your birth. If so, you have to see whether it was rising, culminating or setting in the sky at the time of your birth. A rising Venus makes you famous; culminating Venus turns you a man who enjoys life; setting Venus however, can cause trouble for your sex and family life
Thirdly, you have to find out whether any phenomenon involving Venus has taken place at the time of your birth. For example, if there is an inferior conjunction your life and fame are overshadowed by events beyond your control; if there is superior conjunction your rise in career and family life finally goes up in smoke due to a transgression on your part.
