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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Everyday is different in terms of cosmics; in some days you are high in spirits; in some days you feel low in spirits; in few others you are on average in spirits. You can use perfumes effectively to harness high spirits and neutralize low spirits. This blog post helps you to do just that. Find the right perfume for each day and get your cosmics to work for you to change your lifestyle and end up improving your life too.
Just Few Notes
1. I am detailing the type of perfumes to be worn or applied on each day beginning from Sunday and ending on Saturday
2. Generally perfumes work well during the day. It is because the Sun is out there and sunlight and sunrays can augment the positive effects of the perfumes and neutralize any negative reactions. Yet another reason is that, the use of perfumes in the night time attracts unwanted attention from Genie on the one hand and criminal elements from human beings on the other. For example, when a young and beautiful girl wears an irresistible perfume during night, it can arouse feelings bordering on criminality in the minds of weak and violent men
3. In cosmic calculation a day begins from Sunrise and ends with Sun down. Each day is owned by a different planet. Hence, each day has different cosmics
4. The perfumes recommended are from generic names. Generally branded perfumery indicates on the carton a specific perfume as one of the basic part known as “Notes”. There are three such notes: top, middle and base
a) Top note gives instant burst of the perfume but does not last more than one hour.
b) Middle note, is the central part of the perfumery. In most cases this part is same as the brand name mentioned in the label; this perfume lingers for considerable hours.
c) Base note lasts longer say more than 12 hours but will have fairly low burst of fragrance.
5. It is better for you to buy branded products only if the product uses the perfumes either in middle or base notes
6. You should always insist on natural perfumery rather than artificial ones.
Sunday
Day: Owned by the Sun Hot & Dry Planet. Your spirits are on median level. You generally shift to reverse gear on Sundays. Avoid doing the same tasks you have been doing for the other six days; do something different; spend time out of your usual abode; attempt something out of the way. So use the perfumes that can make you turn diametrically.
Perfumes: Amber, Frankincense, Musk, Myrrh
Monday
Day: Owned by the Moon, Cold & Moist planet. Your spirits are high; you feel elated; you are ready for action; you want result. But you want it on your own way. That is not going to happen. Matters will come head on, one after another. Your patience is tested and you are in conflict with the environment. To resolve these psycho metrics you have to use perfumes that calm you down but make you brace any situation.
Perfumes: Honey suckle, Jasmine, Lemon, Night queen
Tuesday
Day: Owned by Mars, Very Hot & Dry planet. You are high on spirits so is your adrenalin. You can easily be teased into anger. You have high blood pressure or could sway violently in terms of moods. But your capacity to work is not impaired. At this moment you should use perfumes that take out the heat from your system and moist you more.
Perfumes: Neroli, Pitchouli, Rosemary
Wednesday
Day: Owned by Mercury, Moderately Cold & Dry planet. You are “born again adolescent” on a Wednesday. Enthusiasm, energy, and feeling of intense desire grip you. Wednesday can turn out to be busy or light depending on the activities you have scheduled. Yet for all purposes it is a day of moderate spirits. You can up your spirits if you want to by using the perfumes that build from the point you are and take you gradually upward.
Perfumes: Basil, Green champa, Lavender, Lemon grass, Lily
Thursday
Day: Owned by Jupiter, Moderately Warm & Moist planet. Good things always happen on a Thursday. More than that, you get rewards and appreciation too. Every Thursday you are ready for the big action because your spirits are damned high. All round you have pleasantness, easiness, a sense of deja vous; feeling of smoothness inside and a sweet smell of success outside. Your big task is how to keep up the tempo? So use the following perfumery.
Perfumes: Sandalwood, Saffron, Vanilla
Friday
Day: Owned by Venus, Moderately Cold & Moist planet. It is refreshing day as if you have swallowed all the mints in the world. High spirits in three sides: intellectual, sexual and spiritual. You have bonhomie quality through out the day. Awakening of these three energies have to be channelized by using the perfumery that would balance and focus these into a single flow.
Perfumes: Gardenia, Lilac, Rose, Violet
Saturday
Day: Owned by Saturn, Very Cold & Dry Planet. Saturday is a day of see-saw. Mornings are generally low spirited that taper as the day passes. Often you will experience moderate spirits combining internal delight and energy towards late afternoons. This negative cum positive level of enthusiasm has to be balanced on an even keel by using perfumery that drives away negative feelings and restore or sustain positive feelings.
Perfumes: Hyacinth, Peppermint, Pine, Vetiver

Van Helsing pulls down the curtain and let the sunlight comes in; feet of Dracula are caught in the ring of the sunlight; Dracula crumbles into dust and blown away…………..so runs the final scene of the 1958 horror film “Dracula”. Sunlight can do more than that. In this blog post I am arguing why you should let sunlight come into your life, home and office. I am also elaborating cosmics of sunlight so that you will use it for improving your life and lifestyle.
What is Sunlight?
Sunlight is an electro magnetic radiation coming from the Sun consisting light and heat. Sunlight is filtered through the atmosphere surrounding the earth as well as the clouds in the sky. Though electromagnetic radiation has several aspects; let me deal with the Visible Spectrum and the Ultra Violet Rays of the sunlight in this blog post.
Visible Spectrum
A visible spectrum is what your eyes can see in the sunlight. You can do this by looking at a rainbow or see the sunlight through a prism. You will see several colours continuing in a spectrum. Traditionally, the number of colours was fixed as seven. This is because of cultural and occult reasons. The Hindus ascribed Sun as Lord Vishnu who rode a carriage driven by seven horses implying seven colours and seven days in a week. Sir Isaac Newton on examination of the white sunlight through a prism found six colours: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Violet. Being an occultism he added one more colour “Indigo” by splitting the Violet colour. In fact indigo colour is formed by the mixture of more blue with less red.
Ultra Violet Rays
The Sun sends down ultra violet (UV) rays. Depending on the wavelength the UV rays are divided into three categories: UVA, UVB and UVC. The wavelength of the individual UV rays is given below:
UVA – 315 to 400 nanometers
UVB – 280 to 315 nanometers
UVC – 100 to 280 nanometers
The last one UVC is more damaging than the rest but is prevented by earth’s ozone layer from penetrating down on the surface of the earth. The human body produces Vitamin D through the intervention of the UVB of the sunlight. UVA is most beneficial with proper mix of radiation with the light
Positive Cosmics of Sunlight
1. Sunlight drives away vampires or simply destroys them. The visible spectrum of six colours Viz: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet transforms into the Star of David with miraculous power. It acts as a shield against evil spirits. Judeo-Christian-Islamic theocracy has accepted the existence of spirits and genies, which may be good or evil. You can check this aspect easily by going into your basement or attic that was never exposed to sunlight and sense the shrill silence and evilness pervading there. Neglected buildings are often haunted by genies of sorts
2. Sunlight brings blessings of the God, or the nature if you are not accepting the existence of God. In Hindu tradition Sun is Lord Vishnu and his concert is Lakshmi who is the Goddess of Fortune. When sunlight comes into your house it brings you glad tidings. In my practice, I have advised clients who suffer from financial mishaps to let sunlight come into their houses and offices, with good result. If you have your main door or windows facing eastern direction, keep these open as sunlight breaks in the dawn. Pharaoh Ramses II usually opens the doors and windows in the morning to allow sunlight in, a fact that made him wealthy and later a formidable opponent to Moses. In your office pull down shutters, binds and curtains to allow sunlight to come in with boons for you. You may continue to use the glass of the windows so as to protect from any ultra violet rays as glass does absorb these rays effectively
3. Sunlight aids in photosynthesis: a process of converting carbon dioxide into organic compounds using the energy from the sunlight, which is necessary for life on earth
4. The human body produces vitamin D from the sunlight; vitamin D plays a pivotal role in maintaining several organs and systems in your body
5. Sunlight avoids you falling into “Winter Depression” a condition where people who are not exposed to sufficient sunlight gets into mental lows during winter
6. Sunlight also avoids “Multiple Sclerosis”, a condition arising at fairly advanced age of life, when the ability of cells in the brain and spinal cord to co-ordinate with each other falters
7. Sunlight gives you the zing and zest and makes you a virile person. Just check your condition after warming with sunlight for few moments
8. Tanning of your skin in correct measure during sunbath gives your skin longevity and wrinkle free appearance throughout your life
9. Dermatological disorders such as eczema can be treated with a combination of medication and measured exposure to the morning sun
10. A ride in a train travelling south to north or vise versa during dawn would give you a pleasant awareness of the sunlight. You will see the Sun in all six colours sequentially as I did on the other day when I travelled in a train. In the eastern horizon sun rose and within few minutes I had the chance of seeing red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet sun, an invigorating and memorable scene chiselled in my life.
Negative Cosmics of Sunlight
On the fillip side, too much of sunlight can cause few problems:
1. Your skin produces Melanin in order to off-set the ill effects of UVA or UVB rays. If you have any melanin deficiency sunlight my cause you harm; your skin ages faster or is full of wrinkles
2. You could possibly get sun burns which can develop into mild or severe inflammation of the part of the skin that is exposed to excessive sunlight
3. During bright sunshine, sunlight can counteract with the workings of certain medication such as antibiotics
4. In some instances sunlight is devilled by doctors as causing skin cancer; however the instances and the exclusivity of sunlight causing such malady need to be evaluated.
As the positive cosmics over weigh negative cosmics of the sunlight the universal advice is: Let the Sunlight Come In.

Even a mundane affair like ironing a shirt can reveal the personality characteristics of men. Most men are too lazy to iron their shirts and palm it off to their wives or others. When they do iron they tend to show their natural and inner feelings and traits. This blog post delves deep into the action of ironing shirts by men and explains the cosmics relating to it. It also explains the personality and lifestyle of men behind ironing shirts.
Introduction
A shirt has seven parts: Collar, Yoke, Back Body, Right Front, Left Front, Right Sleeve and Left Sleeve. Anyone who is to iron a shirt has to start with one of the seven parts. Your man is no exception; he will habitually starts with one of the seven parts. Not that he does it deliberately; it is his cosmics that drive him to do so. It is because each part of a shirt is related to one of the seven planets that influences him. Let me give a broad review of the personality profile of your man, anchored upon each of the seven parts.
1. Collar: Collar is the top most part and relates to the Sun. If your man habitually irons the collar first, then he is basically influenced by the Sun. As a Solarian he is a confident, no nonsense person with little or no patience. He wants you to lay the table for dinner or dress up to go for a dinner in a jiffy. He will blare or bluster when challenged or cornered. But in normal course of life he is a sweet husband and a loving father. He wants the place in order and believes in ethics and logic. Very conscious of his leisure you cannot disturb him when he takes his snooze late in a Sunday morning. Basically a man about the worlds he can be generous towards his friends and harsh on his opponents. He will not tolerate any evil doing in his career even though he is bent upon seeking power and glory. He is faithful too but might feel taken back when you dance with one of his friend in a party
2. Yoke: Yoke supports the collar and links with the rest of the five parts: Back Body, Right Front, Left Front, Right Sleeve and Left Sleeve. It relates to the planet Mars. If your man habitually irons the yoke first, then he is basically influenced by Mars. Let me pity you, because you have got a fighter at home. As a Martian he is courageous, taciturn person with plenty of stamina. He will often shoot his mouth and spend rest of the time facing the consequences or engaged in damage limitation. Violence and repentance follow each other in constant train of events in his life. Most men in military are wont to iron yoke first. Compensating factor is his kindness and generosity towards family, friends, colleagues and the society in general. Martians cannot tolerate inefficiency, injustice and unfairness. You have lot more to do in holding his hand lest he gets into further quagmire be it in business or in family
3. Back Body: As the name suggests, it is the spinal element that holds the skeleton of the shirt. Like Atlas it carries the weight and like Sisyphus it pushes the remaining four parts to be shrink and crease free. It is a thankless job indeed, and it relates to the planet Saturn to boot. If your man habitually irons the back body first, then he is basically influenced by Saturn. As a Saturnian he is clumsy, generally overweight with a pot belly and equally bloating shoulders. Your man is neglected by everyone including you though without him neither the family nor his office can ever run. Rule minded like the British, a Saturnian is not a person to be befriended easily. Like the British his mind can only work in regimented and oft-beaten path. Novelty, lateral thinking and out of the box solution never appeal to him. He will grin if you cook the food he likes and growl when you don’t. When his office guys are on a spot they quietly get him to un- entangle from it. Both benevolent diplomacy and malevolent conspiracy are tools in his repertoire. Yet for all purposes he is a self-effacing but lonely man around your home
4. Right Front: Always you put the right front right. Related to the Moon, right front is luxury of mind. If your man habitually irons the right front first, then he is basically influenced by the Moon. As a Lunarian he is here, he is there and he is everywhere. His mind is constantly boiling: when ironing a shirt he will hum a country song but his mind is thinking about unfinished work in his office. Sometimes he will burn a part of the shirt as well. Vacillating mind along with fluctuating level of stamina are hallmarks of your man. His emotions are not stable, never. His actions are seasonal like the Moon. At times he is a passionate lover and in other times he is too boring. Life with lunarian is not easy. Your man can be cheery one moment and turn moody on the next. For a minor mishap he will jump at you or blame you to say the least. But he can be generous, sometimes too generous with every body connected with him. A word of caution: hold his reins if he gets over-anxious regarding his health or comforts
5. Left Front: Left has the analytical brain, universally. Related to the planet Mercury left front is luxury of intellect. If your man habitually irons the left front first, then he is basically influenced by Mercury. As a Mercurian your man is too active in terms of intelligence and physical prowess. While ironing he will blabber, speak to his friend over the phone and at the same time gulp little whisky. A memory bank, he simply cannot forget but ready to forgive. Chasing after young girls in the vicinity, he is too fond of enjoying life. An affable person he feels ready to mix business with pleasure. He is witty, eloquent and never fumbles for a word. At times he is frivolous but can gain repose immediately
6. Right Sleeve: Zeus at home sans all the bad qualities of the god Zeus. Related to the planet Jupiter, right sleeve is an expression of knowledge, wealth and poutiness. If your man habitually irons the right sleeve first, then he is basically influenced by Jupiter. As a Jovian your man is intelligent, bright, god fearing with a noble countenance. People believe in him and trust in him. Hardly a day passes without his being invited to attend to some vexatious matter of his relations, friends, associates and others. He seeks wealth and pleasure, in moderation though. A perfect husband, he never fails in his family duty. However, his failing comes when his kindness is interpreted as weakness by others surrounding him. Remember how the god Zeus gets into trouble
7. Left Sleeve: Celebrity it is. Related to the planet Venus left sleeve is an expression of arts and entertainment. If your man habitually irons the left sleeve first, then he is basically influenced by Venus. As a Venusian your man jostles with celebrities or he is celebrity himself. Fond of wining and dining he is an embodiment of beauty, lifestyle, sensuality and pleasance. He earns and thereafter enjoys or squanders what he has earned. Most Venusians get into financial trouble at early years. His pretty face and features are magnets in getting him to climb the ladder faster and at the same time might turn out to be the Achilles Heel by attracting unwanted relationship from scheming women. You have to be always on guard about what he does especially in business or employment.

Star of David is significant in many aspects. A key significance is how this six pointed hexagram is related to the six areas of your body. In this blog post, I am sketching the six areas of your body and how these relate to Physiognomy as well as Cosmics in terms of the Star of David.
Six Areas of Your Body
The areas are: Head, Hand, Chest, Waist, Genitals and Legs. Let me describe each area consisting different parts classified under different segments as far as possible. Each area has significance in terms of Physiognomy and Cosmics.
1. Head
Segments
Head Segment: Head, Hair, Forehead, Ears
Face Segment: Eyebrow, Eyes, Nose, Philtrum
Mouth Segment: Lips, Teeth, Tongue, Palate
Others: Chin, Cheek, Neck
Physiognomy: The fifteen body parts are broadly divided into four broader segments. Head segment goes round the body whereas face segment shows the front upper parts ending with the philtrum, a vertical groove above the upper lip but below the nose. Mouth segment delves deep from the outer lips to get inside the mouth to observe teeth, tongue and palate in a row. Chin and cheek are more connected than eye and eye-brow. Neck stands out; moreover it connects the head to the torso. The head segment conveys about the person, his beliefs, attitudes and conduct. It also details his position, power, fortune and sex.
Cosmics: The head is what a man is; your head is pitched towards the north hence in the Star of David it occupies the first and top point looking north.
2. Hand
Segments
Shoulder Segment: Shoulder, Upper-arm
Elbow Segment: Elbow, Fore-arm
Hand Segment; Wrist, Fingers, Nails
Physiognomy: The seven body parts are broadly divided into three broader segments. Shoulder segment is connected to the torso; shoulder generally implies the upper area but should also cover the arm-pit as well. Extension from the shoulder to the elbow is the upper arm which in the case of men builds up their biceps. Upper arms end with the elbow. Both elbows and fore-arm are in the elbow segment. Elbow is a key as it tells about a person’s ability to move vertically, horizontally and laterally in given situation. The phrase “elbow room” originates from this aspect. Fore-arm is the lower version of upper arm and is very important to evaluate women and their ability in house keeping. The hand segment contains wrists and below. Wrist, fingers and nails betray the nature and fortune of a person. In Tamil culture, a lady is defined as Fortunate Housewife (Gruha Lakshmi) by her hands. Overall hand segment conveys how a person goes about in family and society.
Cosmics: The shoulder signifies work and toil; every human being born in this world must work for himself, for others and for the God. On the Star of David, the shoulder occupies the second point anti-clockwise.
3. Chest
Segments
Front Segment: Chest for Men / Breast for Women, Stomach
Back Segment: Spine, Back
Physiognomy: The four body parts are divided into two segments. Front Segment has Chest and Stomach. The word chest is used for men and the word breast is used for women. Masculinity is defined when a man has broad chest and hair over it. Femininity is defined with rounded and voluptuous breasts without any hair. Chest is the centre of breathing with heart and lungs located within. Stomach on the other hand incorporates the digestion function and show the level of contentment and fortune or in some cases poverty. Back segment has Spine and Back. Spine is cosmic centre for men because the God created Adam and from whose rib he created Eve, so goes the scripture. We always describe a coward as “spineless”. Although back is vertical and in unison for purpose of analysis we differentiate between upper back for breathing and lower back for digestion.
Cosmics: The chest signifies the service function; internally a person breathes and processes the food and water intakes; milk of kindness is seen in the chest; in the case of women it transforms into milk for the baby. On the Star of David, the chest occupies the third point anti-clockwise.
4. Waist
Physiognomy: Waist is in a single segment consisting two body parts: waist and Navel. Waist is the junction between stomach and genitals. Hence it forms an important area. Though men are not concerned with bloating waist women need to have narrow and soft waist. For men waist gives a bill of health; for women a certificate of beauty. Navel like waist is the junction between stomach and genitals and conveys the memory of the umbilical cord. Navel indicates the genetics of a person.
Cosmics: The waist signifies the centre of body frame and on the Star of David it occupies the fourth point anti-clockwise. In fact, the waist is perpendicular to the head in terms of this positioning.
5. Genitals
Physiognomy: Though the word Genitals is used, this segment erects downward with four body parts: Hips, Genitals, Booty and Thigh, all of these located below diaphragm, popularly known as solar plexus. A hip is again a junction separating upper torso from the lower body. Wide and curvy hips in women are marks of femininity, fertility, sexual potency and fortune. Genitals are unique as this area covers sexual orgasm and urinary tracts. Buttocks go in steps with genitals as excretory organ and facilitating human beings to sit upon. For women on the other hand booty gives beauty and signs of wealth. Of late women’s booty has become a sexual play as well. Where thighs fit in this scheme you may ask me. Thighs and buttocks go together. For both men and women strong thighs indicate physical strength. For women thighs enhance their beauty too.
Cosmics: Genitals are to do with procreation and excretion; hence on the Star of David it occupies the fifth point anti-clockwise. In fact genitals are perpendicular to the chest in terms of this positioning.
6. Legs
Segments
Knee Segment: Knee, Shank
Feet Segment: Ankles, Feet Uppers, Heels, Soles, Toes, Toenails
Physiognomy: This area stretches from the knee downwards. The eight body parts are divided into two segments. Knee Segment has knee and shanks; both are important in analysis. The knee is a junction that connects the thigh bone and shin bone popularly known as shank. The shank can be straight, curved or crooked. Both keep a person agile and alive. Feet segment has Ankles, Feet Uppers, Toes and Toenails all are on the surface whereas Heels and Soles are underneath. The feet segment indicates sex & marriage, failure & success, fame & notoriety etc.
Cosmics: Legs signify agility and activity. The knee downward to the foot is a source of basic cosmic energy that keeps a person agile and alive. Hence, on the Star of David legs occupy the sixth and last point anti-clockwise. In fact, legs are perpendicular to shoulders in terms of positioning.

All of you have a significant issue to contend with. How to manage time? How to get the best from a twenty-four hour day? How to allocate the time between conflicting demands? All these questions continue to nag from a corporate leader down to a maths teacher. I am proposing System 8484 as a simple and straightforward solution. This blog posts explain the Time Management System 8484 and its cosmics. By implementing this system you can manage your time effectively. This could result in changes in your life style. Moreover, it would improve your business life as well as family life.
Introduction
Time Management System 8484 stands for the allocation of hours amongst Work, Maintenance, Rest & Service. Work is allocated 8 hours; Maintenance is given 4 hours; Rest is allowed 8 hours; finally Service is provided with 4 hours. All add to a 24 hour day. This system gets its name “System 8484” from the number hours allocated for each segment. You can draw up your routine on a weekly basis and list your activities and time taken under the four heads: Work, Maintenance, Rest & Service. As much as possible you stick to the routine. There may be instances when one head exceeds its allotted total hours; never mind. Once in a way, any system has to be stretched, amended or adjusted. In these circumstances try to come back to normal routine as soon as possible. Sometimes, there could be grey areas such as business travel. If you are travelling from home to work it cannot be treated under the “Work “head; but if you are travelling on duty during office hours it should be treated as part of work. You can develop your own categorization to treat each item. However, the broad System 8484 should be retained. Make it a point to review your Time Management System 8484 on a weekly basis.
Work 8 Hours
I use the word “Work” as something encompassing your main activity. In the case of a student study is equated to Work; in the case of a priest preaching and connected area is treated as Work; for a self-employed, everything he does in furthering his earnings is Work; in the case of a housewife managing a house is Work. At the same time, it does not mean that the housewife does the 8 hours at a stretch; it could be ordinarily staggered. Though Work generally implies activities during weekdays, it is not necessarily so. For a self-employed, there is no demarcation between weekdays and week-ends. Even for a salaried person, seminars and coaching can fill up the week-ends. However, many of you have your week-ends intact. If so it would be better to use the week-ends to attend on activities connected with your house and activities under Service 4 Hours explained later in this blog post.
Most of you do not put 8 hours work; this is because most part of your time is wasted; there are enough time-wasters; the latest is the endless meetings you attend. Unexpected visitors from outside or un-scheduled appointments springing up inside office are the next time waster. Fire fighting is the harrowing item, where your time is spent in managing issues and problems that crop up in due course. If you really put a solid 8 hours work then it is more than enough. If so, you do not need to carry the work to your home. A person who works late is generally not rewarded, but a person who comes to office early is always appreciated. Unless there is an emergency or the need to earn more money never go on board for working late. Remember a smart worker is better than a hard worker.
Maintenance 4 Hours
Under this head we have a range of activities. Once you have done a solid 8 hours of work it is necessary to maintain the system. As a student you are always reminded “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. Children who balance their studies and sports emerge as leaders. As a youth you are encouraged to work and study and engage in sports as well. When you reach middle ages, you are advised to work in office and do the work-outs in the gym. By the time you become a senior citizen you work little, stroll in the evening and turn to your spiritual side. Whatever you do and whatever the station and status you are in, keep in your mind that you have to maintain your body, mind and finally the soul. As you grow the attention paid for body maintenance gradually decreases; not only that, even the focus undergoes a change. In the beginning you are focussed to build up stamina and towards late life you concentrate on endurance against disease and disability. Likewise maintaining mind also goes a see-saw. As a child and during adolescence you have to study books to hone your mind skills; as you reach maturity it is observation, recollection and reflection that keep your mind alert. Then there is enjoyment of the body and mind: sex, dating, attending parties, entertainment, leisure all these are must for everyone in varying degree of course. Even then, soul is the missing link for many of you.
I suggest that you spend your Maintenance 4 Hours in physical work-outs, taking bath, clipping your nails, having hair-cut, trimming your body and looking after your physical body as if it is your spouse, that is give the best enjoyment in sex and pleasure. Thereafter, attend to your mind; spend time to relax the mind by doing a jigsaw puzzle or crossword puzzle or do few arithmetical calculations; if you cannot do any of these let your mind fly away to a distant land observing and recollecting all what your mind reads. Finally, I suggest that you start Yoga, Kabala, or Sufi Exercises that enhance your inner power and strength.
Rest 8 Hours
Rest is again all-inclusive word; it can mean sleep, rest or simply relaxing. Every person requires good sleep; children sleep for 11 to 12 hours; teens need about 9 to 10 hours which they hardly get; adults require about 7 to 8 hours which they neglect. At sleep your systems in the body continue to function. While it slows metabolism, heart-beat and blood-pressure, it continues its function of producing & releasing hormones and replacing body cells. In the case of children and teens it makes them grow, while in the case of adults it strengthens their systems. When you do not get the necessary sleep this function is impaired. You can reduce the sleep time only if you are able to take an afternoon siesta or can take rest in the day time. As a busy executive you may not get the necessary sleep at one stretch. No harm if you can compensate by catching up of the lost sleep hours. You must train yourself to relax in the middle of a heated discussion or under any stressful conditions.
If you are doing solid 8 hours work and solid 4 hours Maintenance, then it is easy for you to fall sleep, rest or relax as you please. If not, then you have troubles in getting the necessary rest. Listening to soft music or looking at natural scenes relaxes you more than any medication. Behaviour modification, called Be-Mod is another solution. On your own you can start scrutinizing your Work and Maintenance schedules and make the necessary amendments and adjustments.
Service 4 Hours
You will be wondering why I am using the word “Service”. Well service is something you do for others; it may be under a filial bond such as looking after the family and children or extending your heart by looking after people outside your family circles. Put it in other words it is your contribution to the family at home and society at large. On reaching her 100 th birthday the Queen Mother in England was asked how does she feel now? She gracefully replied saying that the God has given her life to do service unto others. If neglected, the areas of familial love and societal love would come to roost towards the end of your life.
Spend time with the children or with your spouse; have little time to fix the leaking pipe. Visit your mother or an elder. Do something for others: socializing is a must because you are a social animal; attending weddings and funerals is a social duty cast upon you. Joining in your colleague’s birthday party is another item in your agenda. Extending it little far, you remember the local priest asked you to attend to some work which you never did. Now is the time to complete this task. Participate in activities of a voluntary association in your area. If you cannot do these on a weekdays do it over the week-end. Whatever you do remember one point: None of the activities should give direct benefit to you and you alone.

You walk into a new supermarket in search of a can of caviar. Within few seconds you are guided to the shelf close to the rack where it is stacked; neither had you read any display nor you asked an assistant to find it for you. How this happened? Is it Intuition, intelligence, experience or an uncanny habit you possess that made this possible? You did it because your chakras in your body are working in perfect harmony. There are Six Chakras in your body. Let me give a broad brush stroke of the Six Chakras, their cosmics and how they influence your lifestyle.
1. Base Chakra
This Chakra is known as “Nafs” in Arabic and is located in solar plexus just below your navel. This chakra takes the form of five pointed star or pentagram. This is the only chakra in the body that is stationary. Beaming in red colour the chakra ranges between crimson to blood red. It generates five types of energy via each point of the pentagram: Fire, Spirit, Air, Water and Earth. Fire spews out up from the base chakra onto your right side torso to activate your cylinders of action. Fire also engulfs the Soul Chakra located on your right side of your chest. Spirit from the centre of the pentagon is sprayed directly upward to make you spirited in a given circumstance. Spirit also encompasses the Middle located in the middle of your Chest. Air is pumped from the base chakra to the left side of your torso to fashion your thought process. Air also surrounds the Mind chakra located in the left side of your chest. Water gushes down from the base chakra towards the left leg to give you liquidity. Water also inundates the left hip, which is the junction of sexual power. Finally, Earth falls from the base chakra to the right leg to give you solidity. Earth also covers the right hip, which is the junction of physical prowess.
Cosmics
This chakra symbolizes the Arabic and Hebrew alphabet of “Hei”. The chakra’s red colour gives you stimulus in life, sports or business. However, your vibrations are related to body only, thinking part takes back seat. Although red protects you and nourishes you it cannot balance itself. Red leads to heightened activity, without cosmic balance. If the base chakra is working in harmony and well proportioned you become an active, successful and practical person enjoying both family life and business life. If it does not you are beset with problems of grounding yourself, sexually weak or violent, dysfunctional person who will mar his family as well as business life.
2. Mind Chakra
This chakra is known as ““Qalb” in Arabic, is located on your left side of your chest. The chakra takes the form of eight pointed star or octagram. At different times, this star rotates either clockwise or anti clockwise. Not only that it wobbles a lot going up and down within a range. Hence this chakra is the most fluid ones amongst the six chakras. Though the chakra flashes yellow as the base colour, the cosmics range between light yellow to beige colour on the negative side and magenta to violet on the positive side. The chakra has command over your entire thought process.
Cosmics
This chakra symbolizes the Arabic alphabet “Hay” (un-stressed H) and Hebrew alphabet Chet. This chakra denotes all functions of forming, analysing, joining, dissecting and synthesizing. The chakra’s yellow colour generates positive and negative vibrations in same wavelength. That is why yellow is called “the great equalizer”. If the Soul chakra is working in harmony then: it makes you think positively; it moderates sex and lust; it equalizes your thoughts and actions; it eliminates your depression; finally it builds up your steadfastness and energy. More than that, it gives you ability to think fast and find your way out fast. If the Mind chakra is not in harmony you are prone to wilful actions, negative thoughts, wavering quality, criminality, evasive behaviour, emotional flare-up, indecisiveness and chronic depressions.
3. Soul Chakra
This chakra is known as ““Ruh” in Arabic, is located on your right side of your chest. The chakra takes the form of nine pointed star or ennegram. This star rotates anti clock wise. Even though the base colour of the chakra is blue, it generates cosmics in combination of colour rays including the ones in the rainbow. Mostly these cosmic rays could take the shades of green, sea-green, turquoise, sky-blue to dark blue. These cosmics are targeted towards the Mind chakra to the left chest and are in-visible. From the birth till his death, a person receives trillions of cosmic colour darts from the soul chakra.
Cosmics
This chakra symbolizes the Arabic alphabet “The” (Unstressed T) and Hebrew alphabet Tet. The chakra’s blue colour represents Inspiration, devotion, fidelity, friendship, trusts and confidence, aspects that keep human race moving forward. Appreciating beauty, wisdom, faithfulness, intuition and intelligence are other aspects. If the Soul chakra is working in harmony and its cosmics are well received by the Mind chakra you are in perfect control of your body, mind and soul. You are like a person who combines the features of an angel with a Superman from the cartoons. If the soul chakra is not in harmony it leads you to a soul- less person, fearful, fretful and a person unworthy of love and friendship. Sometimes you may turn out to be a cruel despot.
4. Middle Chakra
This Chakra is known as “Sirru” in Arabic meaning “mystery” and is located in the middle of the chest just above the straight line between Soul and Mind chakras. This chakra takes the form of six pointed star or hexagram. It is pure white in colour and rotates clockwise in a slow pace. This is the slowest amongst the rotating chakra. This chakra is the only one communicating with the divine world receiving and sending communication. In the Euphrates culture it was equated to the zodiacal sign Cancer which functioned as the gateway for the souls to enter this world. The middle chakra is a straight-forward one like a vertical line; it divides everything into two compartments: right and wrong; truth and un-truth; black and white.
Cosmics
This chakra symbolizes the Arabic and Hebrew alphabet “Vav”. This chakra denotes a gateway or a junction where the commands received from the heaven are being channelized to other chakras in the body. The beginning, sustaining and ending of a person’s life span is indicated here. If the chakra is working in harmony then you are an angel donning the human clothes: you have the spiritual and worldly wisdom in thoughts and action. You have perfect balance and a knack of timing. You always move up in the ladder and take many others along with you in financial and family progress not to mention inner satisfaction. If the Middle chakra is not in harmony you are on your own and responsible for your actions. Friends and relatives shun you as a devil. You are never in peace: either rolling in the bed with anger or anxiety or harping for revenge and vindictiveness. However, this chakra is such that whether it works in harmony or not you will get famous or notoriety for your behaviour and actions.
5. Forehead Chakra
This chakra is known as “Aqfa” in Arabic meaning ‘Veiled” and is located on your fore-head between your both eyes. The chakra takes the form of twelve pointed star or dodegram. This star rotates clock wise faster than the Middle chakra. At the same time it flashes one of the twelve cosmic colours namely: red, orange, yellow, green, sea-green, turquoise, sky-blue, blue, purple, magenta, violet and white. This chakra shines brighter than other chakras and has the power to magnetize, mesmerize, dazzle or burn anyone who comes into his presence. The energy generated takes the form of electrical, magnetic and telepathic energy that cannot be properly recorded or verified by any scientific equipment.
Cosmics
If this chakra is in harmony you are a charismatic person with inner calmness and outer composure. People are drawn to you for advice and assistance. Your work schedule is full, but the end of the day you are still fresh and cheery. You can shine like a star in your chosen field of activity. If the Forehead chakra is not in harmony you tend to become egoistic and dogmatic person forcing your views and ways on others. You are a politician of George Bush and Tony Blair ilk.
6. Crown Chakra
This chakra is known as “Qafi” in Arabic meaning “More Veiled “and is located on your middle of your head. This chakra takes the form of 72 pointed star or septua-duogram. It has un-known colour combinations not intelligible to human understanding. The unique feature of this chakra is that it opens up towards the end of a person’s life. Once it is opened it never shuts until the person’s demise. These points in the star are known as “Leelah” in Hinduism, “Lailah” in Hebrew, and “Noor” in Arabic; these points denote the level of spiritual status achieved by a person. Those who have their chakras opened go as “Rishis” in Hinduism and as “Saints “in Christianity & Islam. This chakra is beyond human analysis and we can safely leave it to the will of the God Almighty.

Saturn – Sun Conjunction is an annual event; the location of the event and the setting matters a lot in interpreting the event. This year it took place in Virgo constellation heralding twists and turns in your family life and business life. This blog post explains the event in terms of astronomy and cosmics and gives summary Interpretations.
1. Astronomy
1. The conjunction took place precisely at 18.30 GMT/UTC time on September 18, 2009 even though the signs of conjunction are apparent from the previous day. This event took place at the exact point in the celestial longitude known as Right Ascension (RA) of 11 hour and 45 minutes. However, the celestial latitude, known as Declination (Dec) is somewhat different. Saturn is located at 3 degree 40 minutes north whereas Sun is located at 1 degree 40 minutes north, just below the Saturn.
2. Most importantly, the conjunction is in Virgo Constellation where Sun stays the longest period of 44 days in its year long ecliptical journey. Saturn enters Virgo constellation on September 2, whereas Sun enters on September 16. The fact the conjunction taking place within three days of Sun’s entry is quite significant. Moreover, the planet Mercury is also located in Virgo constellation at this time. The Moon though close by is in Sextans Constellation south of Virgo and Leo constellations.
3. From this location if we look around we find planets, stars and an asteroid 2 Pallos in several directions:
North: The Star Nu Virgo a red giant of 4.0 visual magnitude with a spectral class of M0 located 313 light years away and positioned on the head of the ever green Virgin
North-west: The Star Sigma Leo a blue-white giant of 4.05 magnitude with a spectral class of B9 located 214 light years away and positioned on the right knee of the lion in Leo constellation
West: In the west there are 3 celestial bodies: 89 Leo a star, 2 Pallos an asteroid and Tau Leo a significant star. I have considered the last one Tau Leo for my review. The star Tau Leo is a yellow giant of 4.95 magnitude with a spectral class of G 8 located 621 light years away and positioned on the shank of the right leg of the lion in Leo constellation
South-west: The Star Upsilon Leo which is similar to Tau Leo a yellow giant of 4.30 magnitude with a spectral class of G 9 located 178 light years away and positioned on the paw of the right leg of the lion in Leo constellation.
The Moon is also located in the same direction, but in the Sextans constellation just below the star Upsilon Leo
South-east: The planet Mercury
East: The Star Zavijaya, astronomically known as Beta Virgo, a pale yellow star of 3.61 visual magnitude with a spectral class of F9 located 36 light years away and positioned on the winged right shoulder of the ever green Virgin
2. Cosmics
1. Virgo constellation is known as ever green virgin with a winged shoulder. In Greek legend Virgo represents the virgin goddess, the daughter of Astreos and Eos. In another myth Virgo is Peresphone, daughter of Zeus and Demeter, Goddess of harvest. Pluto abducts Persephone to the underworld. Consequently pains over it and neglects her duty. As there are no harvests, there was famine forcing Zeus to restore Persephone on a seasonal basis so that she spends few months in underworld and many months on earth. In Babylonian mythology it symbolizes the goddess Istar, a queen of star & lover of Taammuz who is the God of Harvest. Taammuz was killed during an intervening autumn. So Virgo goes to the underworld during winter in search of her lover and returns during the spring.
2. Virgo heralds spring and season of renewal. Virgo gives you positive cosmics including springing back to action after any calamity, fondness towards arts and crafts, romantic love, knowledge of the un-seen, faithfulness to the spouse and family, being loved by friends & enemies alike and taking responsibility. Negative cosmics are: seasonal in nature, often taken for a ride by the opposite sex, too absorbed in a matter and unwittingly caught in a conspiracy or tragedy.
3. The location of the conjunction is a Trapezium formed by the stars Zavijaya (Beta Virgo), Nu Virgo, Sigma Leo, Tau Leo and Upsilon Leo. The last three namely Sigma Leo, Tau Leo and Upsilon Leo forms a straight line and symbolizes the rear right leg of the Lion from its knee downward. This right leg is drawn backward compared to the left leg. This part represents the West. The other side of the trapezium consists of two stars, namely Zavijaya (Beta Virgo) and Nu Virgo. This represents the west. The conjunction location is closer to the east and away from the west.
3. Interpretations
1. East is rising; west is sinking. Countries such as Japan and South Korea experience economic turn around. China consolidates its power; Eurasia is on the rise. Europe as a whole is in the doldrums except for few countries in the North and the East. United States is pushed backward by Russia and countries in Asia.
2. Business blossoms in the East and flow of money would go towards east from the west
3. Family life and business life of those born under Virgo Constellation improve tremendously. Whereas those born under the Leo Constellation would suffer losses and feel sorrow
4. Persons who are born on dates 8, 17 and 28 would experience improvement in their lives
5. Persons whose names has H, F and LL are expected to do well
6. Those who hold administrative jobs would scrape through but those who are engaged in operational or marketing related jobs face disappointments.

Ramadan 2009 begins on a very auspicious moment. The Planet Jupiter harbinger of wealth and fortune sings the praise of the Lord in chorus with other bright stars in the sky. Not only that, Jupiter casts its benign eye on the earth. For many of you this marks a turning point for a better life. In this blog post, I describe the event in terms Astronomy, Stars and Cosmics to improve your lifestyle.
1. Positional Astronomy
Observing from Colombo, Sri Lanka at 8.00 p.m. on Friday, 21 August 2009, the sky chart gives the following astronomical position of the planet Jupiter and its companions:
1. Jupiter is in the south-eastern sky in the Capricornus constellation located at right Ascension (RA) 21 hour 35 minutes and in Declination (Dec) of 15 degree and 30 minute South. Capricornus constellation is historically depicted as a Sea –Goat and on this date Jupiter is on the curled tail of the Sea-Goat. Jupiter is on its last leg of a year long journey through the Capricornus constellation beginning on 4 January 2009, and ending on 9 February 2010.
2. On the day 21 August, Ramadan 2009 begins and Jupiter sings the praise of the Lord in chorus with planet Neptune and stars Nashira and Deneb Algedi. The other members of the choir include stars Mu Capricorni along with stars 42, 44 and 45 Capricorni, all in the Capricornus constellation.
2. Stars
1. Nashira: Astronomically known as Gamma Capricorni, Nashira is a white colour star with a spectral class of A 7 and with a visual magnitude of 3.65. It is located approximately 139 light years away. Celestially its position is on Right Ascension (RA) 21 hour 40 minutes and Declination (Dec) 16 degree 39 minutes. The star is located in the curled tail of the Sea-goat. The word “Nashira” means “Fortune” in Arabic. A well meaning star it signifies position of wealth along with political and business patronage. It also marks social status.
2. Deneb Algedi: Similar to Nashira, Deneb Algedi is a white colour star with a spectral class of A 5 and with a visual magnitude of 2.85. It is located approximately 39 light years away. Celestially its position is on Right Ascension (RA) 21 hour 47 minutes and Declination (Dec) 16 degree 04 minutes. Deneb Algedi is also located at the curled tail of the sea-goat like Nashira. The name Deneb Algedi is derived from Arabic “ Al-Dhaneb Al-Jady” meaning “ tail of the goat” given by Ulugh Beg, the Mongolian Emperor and Astronomer. A fascinating star and brighter one than Nashira due to its closeness to earth, Deneb Algedi signifies wisdom and wealth in equal measure.
Both stars are considered as an excellent pair. Arab astronomers coined the word “Muhibbeen” meaning “Loving Friends” to indicate their companionship. Both stars are located in the Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al- Saad –Al Suud” which means “The Fortune of the Fortunate”. Stars located in this lunar mansion such as Nashira and Deneb Algedi and planets traversing the lunar mansion, that is, Jupiter and Neptune right now, are considered as harbingers of good fortune. This lunar mansion signifies the Hebraic/Arabic alphabet Yod/Ya and relates to the wheel of fortune turning to better times.
3. In addition to the Stars, Jupiter is having the friendship of the planet Neptune. Significantly the planet Neptune was discovered on 23 September 1846 by Johann Galle, a German Astronomer in the Berlin Observatory. At the time of discovery Neptune was located in space between Deneb Algedi and the Star Mu Capricorni. Right now after 163 years Neptune is in the same location between the stars Deneb Algedi and Mu Capricorni. I give you the location of all three: Deneb Algedi, Neptune and Mu Capricorni as on 21 August 2009 for your attention:
Celestial Body Right Ascension Declination (South)
Deneb Algedi 21h 47 minutes 16 degree 04 minutes
Neptune 21h 49 minutes 13 degree 35 minutes
Mu Capricorni 21h 53 minutes 13 degree 30 minutes
Neptune is the furthest planet in the solar system and is very similar to Jupiter in terms of icy clouds and storms lashing on its surface. Neptune emits a bluish tint and located 29 Astronomical Units from the earth (One Astronomical Unit equals to the distance between Earth and the Sun and given as 149.6 million kilometres). Neptune joining Jupiter in the lunar mansion “Al- Saad –Al Suud“signifies the turning to better times.
3. Cosmics
Make a date with the planet Jupiter in the early night say between 7.00 to 9.00 p.m., to improve your family life and business life. Look at the sky and observe the brilliance of planet Jupiter. Due to brightness of Jupiter you will not be able to see the stars Nashira, Deneb Algedi or planet Neptune with the naked eye. It does not matter. Fix your eyes on Jupiter. Stay for few minutes in this position. You will observe passing clouds sometimes obstruct your view. Never mind. Take a bath in the brilliance and glory of Jupiter. Now invoke the blessings of the Planet Jupiter on you. Your outstretched palms in prayer and incantation will receive the cosmic energy. Now take a step back and fondly massages your body with your palms. You will see a feeling of elation running up in your spine.

The brightest and fastest amongst meteor showers is the famous Perseids Meteor Shower. So popular it is, Google put the picture of the shower on the title page along with its name. The Perseids stream never disappoints. Many enthusiasts have gathered in open spaces and or on the roof of their houses to see the magnificent cosmic firework on August 12, when Perseids reached its peak performance. This blog post details for you Perseids in terms of astronomy, cosmics and how it affects your family life.
Meteors
You have heard about meteor showers or shooting stars or falling stars, or simply meteors. There are millions of these shooting stars seen throughout the year. When you look at the night sky generally after mid-night you will observe streaks of light flicking away in the sky for a second or two. What you see is not a physical matter, because most of these meteors are so small to be seen from the earth, but the atmospheric reaction when these fast moving meteors hit at the earth’s atmosphere resulting in a friction between the air molecules and the surface of the meteor. So you see the burning of the gaseous particles in glowing colour.
Meteors originate in the following manner. Usually comets pass through the Sun in their orbit and when they get closer to the Sun, they shed parts of their matter. These are known as Meteoroids which travel alone or in a group in the vast expanse of the space. When some of these meteoroids enter into the earth’s orbit we call them Meteors to distinguish from the Meteoroids. Most of these meteors burn out as shooting stars as described above.
Perseids
Most of the showers are named after the constellations they originate from; we call this as “radiant”. Perseids takes its names from Perseus constellation, to which we can trace back its origin or radiant at the point where delta Persei a brilliant star is located. Perseids Meteor Showers which we call “Perseids” for easy reference commences on July 23 and ends by August 22 every year. The stream strikes at about 90 miles per hour. On average 50 to 80 meteors could be seen within an hour, which is technically called as Zenithal Hourly Rate (ZHR). This level peaks to about 120 ZHR during 11, 12 & 13 August. Moreover, the level rises to about 200 to 500 when the Earth comes into the path of the comet 109P / Swift Tuttle when it flies past the Sun. The comet’s debris is the one that is transformed into the fascinating shooting stars, hence we call this comet the parent of the stream. During the years 1993 and 1994 high rates of ZHR were recorded as the 109P / Swift Tuttle comet was passing through the orbit of the earth. In fact, the comet discovered by Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle in 1862, after whose names it is named was last seen on earth on March 29, 1995 in Australia. The Perseids stream is seen in different cosmic colours. These are keenly watched because the stream coincides with summer time in the Northern Hemisphere. The radiant Perseus constellation lies beyond the ecliptical path of the Sun in the North. Nevertheless its proximity with Aries and Taurus constellations bestows to it high cosmic significance.
Cosmics of Perseids
Perseus is all about bravery, love, wisdom, perseverance and advancement of worldly or spiritual learning. You have learnt about the hero Perseus. He set himself to free Andromeda, the virgin who was chained to the rock to be devoured by Cetus, the whale. Before Cetus can complete his task, Perseus arrives with the Head of Gordon Medusa in hand. He showed the head to Cetus. On seeing Gordon Medusa, Cetus is turned into stone. Perseus then marries Andromeda, so goes the Legend.
Against this mythological background I observed the sky chart from Tehran, Iran at 6.00 p.m., on August 12. I noticed significant phenomena which seriously affect the influence Perseids has upon the people on the earth. One relates to the position of the Moon which is on its last quarter. Although the Moon is 21.5 days old it is still brighter to overshadow the brightness of the shooting stars. Moreover, the Moon is in the first Lunar Mansion (Manzil-Al-Qamar, in Arabic) of Al-Sheratain (means: Two signs). This Manzil is defined as very auspicious moment for beginning any matter or work; besides the Moon itself is in the Aries constellation, which is the first zodiacal sign. The other relates to the position of Sun, which is in the Leo Constellation. On its direct path lies Regulus the Royal Star, Mercury and Saturn all in the Leo Constellation. Now let me give you the result.
How Perseids Meteor Shower 2009 affects you?
1. Babies born in your family during the peak period 11 to 13 August 2009 would be brilliant and maverick at one and the same time. You should take care to neutralize the quality of any eccentric behaviour in them. Let me give you some of the noted persons who had similar birthdays whose brilliance, extra ordinary perseverance and non-conformist behaviour are well documented:
August 11
Steve Wozinak – Co-founder of Apple computer
Alex Haley – Author of the Book “ Roots: The Saga of an American Family”
August 12
Cleopatra VII – Egyptian Queen who ended her life by allowing herself to be stung by a cobra
Cecil B DeMille – Legendary Film Producer
George Soros – Investor
August 13
Sir Alfred Hitchcock – Legendary Film Producer
Fidel Castro – Cuban Leader
2. Those of you who are born in the period 11to 13 August would go through severe mental stress arising from delays, failures and losses in family and business life
3. Those of who are born in the First Moon Mansion of Al-Sheratain are set to reach your best performance in career, business and social life but miserably fail in family and married life
4. Those of you who are born under stars in Perseus Constellation such as Mirfak (alternatively known as Algeneb), a brilliant white and lilac star or Miram, a greenish white giant will have tremendous boost.
5. If your birth or lucky stars are Menkib, Athik and Misam in the Perseus constellation you would achieve above-average results.
6. If you are born under the Star Algol in the Perseus Constellation, you would tend to achieve less than average results. However, if you are feminine you will go have excellent time in family and business life.

Many of you bewail the fact that everything happens around you and you have simply no way of influencing the ultimate result. If you have a concept developed for private life or public life or both, you will be able to take charge and influence the outcome because a well developed concept gives you direction, motivation and tenacity. In this blog post I describe Seven Steps in developing a Winning Concept.
1. Firstly, think about yourself; your ideas, your moods, your feelings, your desires, your strengths and your weaknesses. Now think of the goals you wish to achieve in private life or public life or both. Private life relates to you and your personal side; let us call this as “family”. Public life relates to what you do for a living; your employment or vocation or engagement; let us call this as “business”. Once this is complete you have an idea as to what is the central theme running, something that threads between and amongst all what have been described above.
2. Secondly, you cross to the opposite side; become an imaginary critic of yourself. Start where you ended under step number 1, that is the central theme and subject it to brutal examination. Is your central theme is tenable? Is it bunkum? From there go down to the goals you have set upon. Are these achievable? Are you over-shooting? Go down still further. Your weaknesses, strengths, desires, feelings, moods and ideas do all these truly reflect you? Did you under-state the weaknesses and over-state the strengths? Are you true to yourself when you listed everything about you?
At this point it is better for you to write items 1 & 2 in your note book; you have done the internal analysis; so far so good
3. Thirdly, you are going to look at outside; this time gathering information from books and magazines, observing others similar to you behaving the way they do, listening to those who are similar to you about their feeling, thoughts and actions that made them succeed in life. Once this phase is over, write down a summary of your observations
4. Fourthly, you turn inward to yourself once again; you have already written the pros and cons of everything along with the outside inputs as well. Now it is the time to switch on your inner mind. Go deep and listen to what your inner mind says about the whole thing. If it says “enough” you stop and go to step number 6. If the inner mind says “all what you did so far is not enough and you need to do more work” go to step number 5
5. The fifth step deals with the realm of the un-chartered or un-known. In this step you have to find something that has never occurred to you so far; or observed by you in your dealing with the external parties under step number 3, something that is unimaginable like Windows or Dell to the inventors who founded it for the first time. Both windows and Dell are success stories now but came from this un-chartered and un-known area. You will also come across an idea that would shape your concept after you explore the realm of un-chartered or un-known
6. Once you have the bare concept ready by now, you have to switch –on your Cosmics to further examine whether your concept suits you fine. Each person is born with a different set of Cosmics. Some have predominantly water in their element whereas others have fire. For some certain numbers will work for others the same numbers would not? Certain colours would appeal to some while the same colours make others un-comfortable. Some can work at a stretch for several hours while others need rest and relaxation to continue. The probabilities are endless. Once you analyze your cosmics you will come to an understanding whether the concept you are developing will suit you in the first place
7. The last item is to dry test the concept you have developed and reduce it in few words or a phrase or a single sentence. I give few examples:
Maths Teacher: My concept is “innovative teaching method along with rote learning bent on more class work”
Lawyer: My concept is “tell the truth, nothing but the truth to everyone including my clients”
Old Vehicle Salesman : My concept is “bring convenience and affordability to the buyer and reasonable price to the seller, keeping my commission intact”

You have already an Honey with you; your wife or girl friend who remains your source of inspiration and support. Likewise, you need Honey, this time the sweet yellowish to golden fluid produced by the honey bees. You will ask me why honey and what it does for me. In this blog post I describe what made me to study honey, the features of honey and the cosmics of honey to improve your life.
What made me to study Honey
About 35 years ago, I was posted as manager of a bank branch in a remote area in the eastern part of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). During weekends, I scoot off to the jungles and parley with aborigines known as Veddhas. Highly hospitable group the Veddhas find their food by hunting. Since hunting animals depend on season and chance they preserve the meat in honey. I have relished on venison and other meats preserved by the number of full moons as they do not use calendars to tell us the time. Honey can preserve contents soaked with it for a long time.
In contrast, I found a different feature; this time not preservation but disintegration, when I travelled to the northern area of Ceylon known as Wanni where settlement of farmers live. I was given a special treat: A part of honey hive with the head of cobra inside. The poor soul has got into the hive with its hood and part of its upper body. Entrapped it was not able to get out. The cobra died; the part outside the bee hive got rotten and has fallen off. The part of cobra inside the beehive was disintegrated into honey. The cobra’s hood was still visible as a film but no physical body could be seen. I joined my hosts to relish on this wonder. What happened to the cobra’s poison? All that were disintegrated perhaps.
Honey, like your wife or girl friend can make you or break you. It can preserve or it can disintegrate. It can make you fat or make you thin. It heals diarrhoea or can increase loose motion. On the top of the line, it boosts your sex drive or dull your libido.
Features
- Honey is produced by honey bees known as apis mellifera from nectar of flowers in the vicinity of the beehive. A complex regurgitation process takes place where the bees transform nectar into the viscous fluid. The final secretion which was earlier thought to come out of the mouth is now found to come out from the intestines
- About 35 % denser than water, honey has less water content barring the growth of micro organism; hence it can preserve itself, provided that it is not exposed to oxidisation and fermentation. Honey can attract external ambience such as smell or moisture; that is why it is recommended to store honey in glass or ceramic jars rather than in tins
- Honey has different types of sugar such as fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose accounting for about 75 % of its content. The balance 25% consists of minerals such as potassium, sodium, phosphate, copper, iron, calcium & manganese, along with carbohydrates, proteins, enzymes, various vitamins and water
- Raw honey is unprocessed, often darker in colour with fragrance and taste that does not appeal to many. It is used mainly for medical and nutritional purposes. Selection of raw honey be left with experts
- Ripe honey is unprocessed, fresh and ready for various use including consumption. it gives pleasant fragrance and appealing taste
- Processed honey is what you see in the supermarket shelf. Often it is purified by heating which destroys major part of its contents such as nutrients and minerals.
Cosmics
Food Source
Honey can be easily spread on bread; used as a substitute for sugar; flavour any type of food. Honey restores energy like glucose; it quickly rejuvenates and is a product that can quenches thirst and fulfils appetite at one and the same time. You must use ripe honey or processed honey for this purpose.
Disease Buster
- Raw honey: Used for treating allergic disorders; topical applications for various skin ailments; dressing wounds; soothing wounds. This can also be used as barrier cream and as anti-bacterial treatment. “Manuka” honey from New Zealand is very much recommended
- Ripe honey: Used for treating various diseases such as diabetes, common cold, cough, eye-diseases, gastro-intestinal ailments, high blood-pressure, fevers, blisters, stomach-inflammation, kidney issues and heart-issues.
- Processed honey: As oral rehydration solution in case of diarrheal disorders; anti-inflammatory dose for many ailments; an expectorant to dilute flam; excellently suited for antiseptic treatment.
Beauty Aid
- Cleopatra, the Egyptian Queen knew the art making her the most beautiful women at her time; her bath of immersing in the tub containing honey mixed with aroma is still used by beauty therapists all over the world. In today’s context, shampoos and beauty aids give the same effect. However, rather than depending on made for solutions stacked in supermarket shelf you can try out your own honey bath
- For skin therapy, honey is unbeatable; honey can be applied to various parts of the body in the morning or after a bath and allowed to stay for an hour
- For facials honey can be used to add glow and a flavour that lasts even after the honey is mopped out
- Honey in the morning with either hazelnut or almonds can be taken after the meals.
Health & Fitness
- Honey must be taken first thing in the morning after cleaning your teeth. A table spoon of honey on an empty stomach will make you strong and healthy. Do not take anything, not even water for half to one hour. Similarly you must take a table spoon of honey as the last thing before the bed time. Neither wash your mouth nor drink water thereafter.
- If you feel tired constantly, without any reason for this state, better take honey three times a day after meals. Allow one hour interval before you drink or eat thereafter
- In case of sports or gym work it is better to take honey mixed with water or lemon juice at the beginning, interval and at the end before you take any other nutrients
- To keep fit and youthful you can take honey regularly twice a day morning and evening. “Kamahi” honey from New Zealand is recommended.
Mind and Intelligence
- For children who are mentally retarded, honey must be given just before their meals
- For students who are weak in their studies honey along with onion ( small varieties) syrup can be given
- A week before examinations honey with cocoa be administered on them couple of hours before bed time. Use “Karri” from Australia for this purpose
- For adults who have problems in balancing mental faculty with physical activity, honey along with whole wheat bread or meal is a must. Honey from Tasmania known as “Leatherwood” is recommended.
Sex & Marriage
- For general sexual pleasure, honey twice a day is an excellent stimulant. Honey known as “Yayla Bali” from Turkey is recommended
- Where one of the partner is strong and the other weak, Honey mixed with garlic and onion syrup (big variety) is recommended. Use “ Kircicegi Bali” honey from Turkey
- If the male partner suffers from erectile dysfunction honey mixed with garlic, ginger and onion syrup half an hour before sex will do. The honey known as “ Karakovan Bali” from Turkey is recommended
- If the female partner has sexual dysfunction she should add to the above mixture white of egg and have it half an hour before sex
- For the newly wed honey wine is excellent; different cultures make this differently.
Spirituality
- Take honey as the first thing either as a drink or meal
- Apples slices soaked in honey increase spiritual insight
- After spiritual exercises such as Yoga Asanas or Sufi trances pour little honey to middle of your right palm, leave it for few minutes and sip it slowly.

A woman is raped every two minutes in the United States. About 68% time the perpetrator is already known to her. About 25% time the crime takes place in public area just under the nose of public authorities. Sadly, only 25% of the rape incidents are reported to the Police. The victims fear reprisal from men or social stigma in reporting rape incidents to the Police. Some consider it as personal issue and many fear the cost of inquiry and subsequent litigation will do more harm than the rape itself. So increasingly women resort to get equal with the perpetrators in vengeful manner. But their efforts are giving more negative results than expected. In this blog post let me describe the reasons for women taking revenge, the types of women’s revenge and how the women can make it positive by receiving necessary cosmics from the Star Algol, the eternal symbol of women’s revenge.
Women are Wronged
The following are instances how women are wronged by the men folks:
1. Rape in number one
2. Men taking mean advantage in dating, but when it is time to take it to the next level they simply drop off
3. A love affair turning sour due to no fault of women
4. Men cheating on their wives habitually
5. Break-up of marriage with consequent mental pain and collateral losses
6. Daughters often neglected by parents
7. Overt and covert discrimination in colleges and in offices
What women are doing?
Women biologically and socially are not expected to take physical revenge. In Germany in 1890s there was an expression in vogue: “Schadenfeude” meaning harm & joy; it relates to gaining satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else’s misfortune or discomfiture. The society then and now rules that the men can take painful revenge either physically or otherwise. This leads women to have little space by taking limited actions which, broadly can be categorised under two captions: Negative and Neutral
Negative Responses by Women:
1. Psychological, where the women make men un-wanted or keep them at bay by not giving attention and speaking with them
2. Sexual, where women with certain types of Yoni (Vagina) such as Tiger or Monkey can shut out sex for husbands or boy friends. For fuller Details of Types of Yoni read my blog post clicking “ Types of Yoni for Sex and Marriage”
3. Spiteful, where the women use hate mails and hoary gifts to get back at the offenders. Those who prefer this type of revenge can refer to web page http://www.thepayback.com/ for necessary guidance.
Neutral Responses by Women:
1. Peaceful, where they withdraw from social activities and roll themselves into cocoon shelves
2. Attempting to forget and sometimes forgive the offenders; in certain cases this might simply become negative because the offender is given further licence to repeat such offence to other women.
What women can do?
Women can take charge; turn the incident into a window of opportunity. Succeed so that the offender is ashamed. Nothing succeeds like success. The women can take in cosmic energy from the star Algol and go ahead and beat the offender in his own back yard. For example you are in career in marketing where the fellow marketer bargains for sexual pleasure for getting you through the sales goal. The star Algol will give you the cosmic power to tilt the table against this Casanova. Let me give you a brief of the Star Algol, its astronomy, legend and cosmics.
The Star Algol
Astronomy:
Modern astronomers call Algol as Beta (B) Persei, located in the Perseus Constellation. Originally considered as a double star Algol A & B was found to orbit each other. Algol A is the brighter one whereas Algol B is the dimmer one. When orbiting each other the less bright Algol B comes between Algol A and the Earth causing an eclipse. This is what we call as “blinking” This happens once every 3 days and lasts almost for eight (8) hours. During this time the brightness of the star Algol is reduced drastically. In the Nineteenth century this star was found to have another companion this time Algol C which orbits both Algol A & B. However, the third star does not interfere in the eclipse and related blinking phenomenon. Algol is 93 light years away and 95 times luminous than the Sun and nearly 3.5 times the size of the Sun. Arab astronomers called Algol by several names: Al-Gul (Ghoul), Algul (Mischief maker) and Ra’s Al-Gul (Holder of the Demon’s head).
Legend
Algol represents the blinking eye of the head of Gorgon Medusa one of the three Gordon sisters who later becomes the lover of the God Neptune. On hearing this Minerva the jealous wife of Neptune turns her beautiful lock of hair to that of hissing serpents. Such was the fearful countenance of Gordon Medusa, that anyone looks at her would be turned into stone. The legend says Perseus kills Gordon Medusa and takes her head in his left hand to battle with Cetus the Whale to save the beautiful maiden Andromeda. Perseus shows this head to Cetus; on seeing Medusa, Cetus is turned into a stone. After saving Andromeda Perseus drops the head of Gordon Medusa into the ocean. Aptly, the Greek hero Perseus is called as – Hamil Ra’s Al-Ghul -( Bearer of the Demon’s Head ) in Arabic.
Cosmics
The blinking phenomenon is treated with much caution. So much so Arab commanders would wait till this blinking phase to pass before even commencing battles. This star is powerful and potent as if the Gorgon Medusa is still alive. Moreover, it is very bright indeed during the time Algol A is seen fully on the earth. It gives hot and bright blue to white rays. However, the cosmic potency is very high when Algol starts blinking.
In Hebraic law, Algol represents the first and estranged wife of Adam, Lilith; who according to the tradition was turned into a demon. Algol is the eternal symbol of feminine energy known as “ kundalini”, passion of women, power of women and the revenge of women; four rolled into one. Though many critics decry the power as evil, I consider the star Algol as the symbol of women’s liberation. Her cosmic energy will empower women to get to the top of any situation. Such power, however, has to be brought into mind and body. The procedure to imbibe the cosmic energy into your mind and body is explained next.
Cosmic Energy Procedure
1. Find out the time of blinking by observing the star, or consulting with a local astronomer regarding the time of its blinking
2. Once every three days look at the sky; point to the star Algol and view it for few minutes so that you are pitched direct to Algol
3. Raise your hands , bring the hands parallel to your chin; spread fingers like stretched palms; now bend your fingers of both hands inwards as if to represent Tiger’s Paws
4. As you bend the fingers inhale slowly emptying your lower abdomen and driving the air into the lungs; as you progress you will be able to make lower abdomen almost flat. When this happens the Kundalini ( female) energy is awakened and rises up
5. You should incant statements such as “ I do best “ or “ I succeed” or “ I make better of life” . If you are unable to vocalize it say the incantation with lower tone
6. Hold your breath for few seconds
7. Exhale slowly synchronizing it with the straightening of fingers so that it would appear once again like stretched palms

(Originally written on Monday March 16, 2009)
Celebrity super star George Clooney is the Hollywood heart-throb. He is seen by his millions of fans, most of them women, and the public at large as an actor, super-star, film producer, writer and a consummate person when it comes to the frills of enjoying life. He is described as the most eligible bachelor. Many consider him sexiest too. His grin showing the upper row of teeth with lower lips covering the bottom row of teeth drive women crazy; it gives a sensational feeling in their spine, something to be adorned forever. But, behind this grin there lies a yearning to make it very big in life and politics. Let me give you a broad brush-stroke of the transformation of the celebrity George Clooney and the related cosmics.
Lunation Cycle
He was born on May 6, 1961 in Lexington, Kentucky, United Sates. At the time of his birth the Moon was in the Waxing Gibbous Phase of Lunation Cycle. The cosmics of a person born under this phase of lunation cycle is given below. Please note that, this description is prepared and published as a general guide and will not convey the entire personality of anyone.
“He is a land-lubber, that is neither he moves nor be swayed to accept reality. But when it comes to sway others he will do better. If he is not controlled he will bring the entire roof down. He is good at marketing, advertisement and selling ice to Eskimos. His mind power is such that he can break any issue into small parts and then join these to resolve. Jig-saw puzzle appeals to him. He has the capacity to reflect and report on any event; something like a trouble shooter. Negatives are: He is resistant to change and he simply does not like others pushing him around. At some critical moment he may suddenly give up”.
For fuller description of Lunation Cycle you can read my blog post clicking “ Lunation Cycle: How the Eight Lunar Phases affects you? “
Ideas
From the published sources I have found that the following are ideas that governed him:
1. A private person; guarding his privacy more than anything he is not prepared to share it with anybody; does not like having children; fears that if he marries he would be “tied-up”. Look at his quote” I don’t like to share my personal life… it wouldn’t be personal if I shared it”
2. But something prods him to go higher from the silver screen to national administration. Look at his quote “You have only a short period of time in your life to make your mark, and I’m there now”
3. But then he was re-assuring himself he would not get out of his declared policy on privacy by running for public office. Look at his quote “Run for office? No. I’ve slept with too many women, I’ve done too many drugs, and I’ve been to too many parties”
4. Again the cosmics behind him propels to make it big. Look at this quote” The only failure is not to try”

Birth Chart
His birth chart on the basis of astronomical position indicates the following:
1. At the time of his birth the Moon sights the planet Saturn, which becomes his Lucky Star. In turn Saturn sights a powerful star cluster known as “75 Globular” a vast cluster of almost 130 light years in diameter, standing some 67,500 light years away from the earth with a visual magnitude of 8.5. This cluster is about 180,000 times brighter than the Sun. Due to the massive nature of the cluster Saturn sighting this Cluster indicates that George Clooney is earmarked by the heavens for high political office.
2. The Royal Stars of Regulus, Antares, Fomalhaut and Aldebaran dealing with political high office are located in very advantageous positions.
3. A strong Jupiter giving wealth and happy marriage is posited in the second house and sights the stars Pi and Rho in the Capricorn constellation.
4. The star Sirius is located in the 7th house making his first marriage a failure; beyond that it cannot do any damage.
Transformation
On January 24, 2009 a great transformation took place in the chart of George Clooney. It is the Jupiter- Sun Conjunction. The conjunction took place in-between two stars Pi and Rho stars in the Capricorn constellation. Both stars are considered to be a good pair. As the conjunction takes place in a very auspicious location of the “ pair” , that is two stars that are considered showering great gifts to George Clooney , he for the first time has got the chance to make successful entry into both married life and in national level politics. For fuller Description of the Jumpier- Sun conjunction you can read my blog post clicking “ Jupiter – Sun Conjunction in January 2009 ”.
His transformation is indicated in two ways:
Firstly, the reported rumour of linking George Clooney with Fatima Bhutto. That is only the beginning. He will suddenly give up his declared policy of privacy and buries his head in the bosom of a lovely maiden, of course much younger in age. This is an indication for marriage.
Secondly, his choice of the Darfur trip which he made with his Dad in 2006 to report on the Genocide taking place there over attending the Academy Awards ceremony. This is an indication of his political suaveness.
Who can facilitate his transformation into both these areas? Surprisingly this mega star has to talk to his dad, Nick Clooney to find the right partner for him in marriage and the right mentor for him in politics. Both these would happen between now and early 2010. Who will deny this chance to George Clooney who has the mettle to become a happy husband and the Future President of the United States of America?

Marriages are made in heaven, so say the scriptures. But why marriages made with much fanfare are failing. Though this gives plenty of business opportunities to marriage counsellors, the society at large is losing. The fundamental issue for any marriages to work is the physical relationship parties have with each other. This relationship in common parlance is known as sex; happy and rewarding sex leads to happy life. What determines happy and rewarding sex? For a man it is all about the Yoni. Let me describe the Twelve Types of Yoni and the related cosmics, so that you can improve your sex, marriage and lifestyle. Before that, let me give you a brief introduction.
Brief Introduction
1. In this blog post I am describing the Twelve Types of Yoni in general terms. Each Yoni is given a name of an animal for easy identification. So far as possible I have given the feminine name of the identity within brackets as well. I am not masochistic for writing about yoni from the point of view of men. I believe that both women and men would benefit from this blog post
2. The word “Yoni” is of Sanskrit origin; It relates to the female organ known as vagina; the male organ penis is referred to as “ Lingam”
3. The Size of Yoni does not matter at all
4. The type of yoni is determined by how the Moon is placed in the sky at the time of your birth. I consider, Lunation Cycle, Moon Mansions known in Arabic as” Manzils”, and the Constellation in which the Moon is located at the time of your birth for this purpose. If you wish to know more about Lunation Cycle you can read my blog post “ Lunation Cycle: How the Eight Lunar Phases affect you? ”
Types of Yoni
1. Elephant (cow):- Very chaste with occasional but strong sex performance. Generally considers sex as moral duty or love or for procreation. Sexual pleasure is secondary consideration. Takes longer tome for preparation and for penetration. But when on the job, the Yoni enthrals the lingam for long time. Body Elements: Earth & Air ; Yoni Features: soft opening, wide passage & deep base
2. Camel (cow):- Appearance can be misleading for this type. Looks like not interested in sex but in fact has very strong sex urge and performance. Sometimes experiences dual orgasm like a camel’s humps. Dual cosmics also at play; either yoni takes cosmic energy during hot environment and performs sex during cold time or takes in cosmic energy during cold environment and performs sex during hot time. Let us call this summer – winter syndrome. Takes longer time to satiate this yoni and the lingam must be aptly suitable. During sex little vocalization (talking). Body Elements : Earth & Water; Yoni Features : soft opening, wide passage & shallow base
3. Horse (Mare):- Legendary symbol of sex that flies you to heaven; Very strong sex urge and performance; very active during spring and summer when the days are longer than night. Not to despair it can continue during fall and winter as well provided the lingam can stand. A dominant mare with a pliant man make the most satisfying and rewarding sexual partners; here the mare initiates, signals and showers with pats and kisses so that the man is excited. Due to high libido levels the mare will expect longer play. Unfortunately, most men cannot manage a mare. Body Element : Air; Yoni Features : soft opening, narrow passage & deep base
4. Tiger (tigress):- If you like strong and ferocious sex then it is the tigress; though ready round the year the tigress initially takes ages to get into high libido. Some by 24 years and many others do so by 32 years of age. Thereafter, sex urge never falters; might lasts for 3 to 4 decades. Sex performance on each occasion extend to more than an hour for a number of days with breaks in between to allow for illness, menses or pregnancy. Lot of purring but little talking during copulation; uses nails and toes to prod the male. If the lingam is responding well tigress makes him happy ad it is sweet, scented sex for the male; if not sex is shut down and the male is made to suffer. In the latter case yoni will actively search for fresh lingams or at-least fantasize about alternate males; sometimes tigress hint at this by talking about a mutual friend and about his lingam during sex. Body Element: Fire; Yoni Features: tight opening, wide passage & deep base.
5. Ox (cow):- So you want a dutiful wife then select this yoni. Preferring strong males this yoni gives in cajoling the partner and making sex vey sweet for him. If the males are not strong, the cow does not complain. On average sex is sparse, but when on the job cow goes for a long sit-in. Prefers orthodox manner of having sex and in silent nights. Oh milk is oozing. Body Element : Water ; Yoni Features : tight opening, wide passage & shallow base
6. Dog (bitch):- The name tells you what it is all about. It never lets go once the man is with her both in sex and in life. You are tied to her forgetting your roots and relations. Your lingam is completely swallowed and covered by the bitch yoni during sex that you cannot easily extricate after ejaculation. If you attempt to do so, you get a slap. Sex is very high and can reach zenith during hot summer. If lingam can match with yoni, the yoni fights for you, protects you and guards you. If lingam cannot match bitch yoni, it is tragedy. Yoni will go for alternate partners and will not hide that fact from you. In the case of bitch yoni she has dual opening features. The opening of the yoni is soft at the commencement of sex, but once the lingam is sauntered inside the opening contracts and tightens. Body Element: Earth; Yoni Features: soft & tight opening, narrow passage & deep base.
7. Deer (doe):- Oh dear hunter, you got your perfect and prized catch: Faithful house-wife and a yoni that gives you pleasure. After the mare deer is the most sought after yoni. She neither bothers you about sex nor complains about your performance. To top it all she does not worry even if you go out with other yoni. Deer suppresses her sex urge for your benefit or for the family benefit. However, if you wants sex she is ready at all seasons; she can do both in mornings and evenings; she never fails to make you ecstatic and happy throughout your life. Body Element: Spirit; Yoni Features: soft opening, narrow passage & deep base.
8. Cat (tabby):- Requires longer foreplay for which most men are ill-prepared. Penetration, however, is spottier. Tabby wants lingam to be withdrawn and again inserted several times during copulation, because orgasm takes long time to be reached. Tabby wishes the partner to caress and holds her by the neck; lot of soft tone talking from tabby to keep lingam attentive. But release of orgasm is very painful to tabby; sometimes she might bite the male without much harm. In many cases, men cannot have the patience to go along and ejaculate faster. In that event tabby douches her yoni with water to cool down her anger and frustration. An interesting feature I have observed is tabby sometimes has fear of the real cats. This is known medically as “Ailurophobia”. Body Elements: Fire & Earth; Yoni Features: soft opening, narrow passage & shallow base.
9. Snake: – Un-obtrusive but faithful sex partner; duration ranges less than an hour to about 2 to 3 hours at a stretch. Like tabby snake wants more foreplay by curling and twisting around the partner. Often snake raises the legs to allow lingam to go inside or prefers penetration from behind, yoni facing the bed or other rest. This method makes yoni to reach orgasm easily, but after taking quite a while. Partners who do not get thrills having sex from behind, may feel very tired after ejaculation. Quite some training is necessary to change position and make both yoni and lingam happy. Unlike the tabby, snake would not allow lingam to be withdrawn once inside. Most men would feel why they do not have two lingams. Body Elements: Fire & Air; Yoni Features: tight opening, narrow passage & deep base.
10. Monkey: – Monkey yoni wants to be the dominant partner, otherwise whole hell will break down. Monkey needs mollycoddling, pleading by lingam for sex, lot of gifts and favours not to mention praise. Monkey needs care and caressing more than any yoni. If the male is willing partner, then monkey gives most satisfying and ecstatic sex. Generally the sex act will be shorter but much happier for both. If the male does not play by the rules then monkey will shut-out sex for lingam giving an excuse of the care & welfare of family and children. Monkey also shows off her potency and that of lingam, by behaving in like manner in society, something like an exhibitionist. Body Elements : Fire & Spirit ; Yoni Features : tight opening, wide passage & deep base
11. Hare (Jill):- Yoni for all seasons; generally prefers nocturnal copulation with lot of pillow fighting. Jill is not limited to bed; it jumps, leaps and flies; ready to make sex in different postures and places. Both yoni and lingam must have equal aggressiveness for happy sex. One party’s low libido level can mar satisfaction. Despite all the hullabaloo the actual penetration and subsequent orgasm is much shorter. Body Elements : Air & Water ; Yoni Features : soft opening, wide passage & shallow base
12. Rat (doe):- Unlike dogs, rats do not like partners lingering around after copulation. Rat yoni is ready to have more sex little while later with same or another lingam. Rat likes to have sex anytime and has great cunning in selecting places and postures. So much so rat can have sex in the presence of children without them ever knowing what the parents are up to. You see rats all over in parks, in cinemas and in places you generally do not have the courage to make it a go. If the lingam is dominant over yoni, she selects the same lingam otherwise opts for another. Social mores are thrown into the wind by rat. Body Elements: Air & Spirit; Yoni Features: soft opening, narrow passage & shallow base.
