Greetings for the New Year

Today everyone at work craves for making money, more money and stills more money. But most of them are clueless about how to get more money into their kitty. Let me give you twelve easy ways where you can make that extra money you need very badly while working at a job.

1. Side Business: As a cosmic adviser specializing in business, I believe starting a business is the best way to make money. If you are in a career and wish to cling to, you must think of starting a side business while you continue to work. Of course, you have to contribute little bit of capital, allocate time and energy and be committed to your business while at the same time not showing any signs of neglect towards your present job

2. Freelancing: Get into some form of doing a work on freelancing basis. You can write for the press or do an eBook. Let me tell you my own experience. I was a banker once and started to write to the business press as a freelancer. It did give me three pluses: extra money, learning skills of journalism and exposure to the business circle. However, you must ensure that there is no conflict of interest in doing any freelancing.

3. Teaching: If there is a noble profession it is teaching. Pater, mater, praetor dei goes the saying; that is father, mother, teacher and god. You can enrol as a visiting lecturer or teacher in schools and colleges that run courses in the evenings or weekends. In this way, you can keep yourself updated in your own specialization and get little extra liquidity

4. Blogging: Today blogging is so ubiquitous that you can easily start a blog and host it free with popular services. When you write regular posts you get traffic into your blog. Your blog will be watched and analysed by internet marketers. You can open your blog for advertisements and flash messages. Google offers AdSense, an easy way to make money on per click basis of adverts. Writing blogs brings invitation for you to engage in many promotional activities that easily get you some cheese

5. Creative Arts: If you are blessed with creative talents, it is time you think of making it as a cash-earner for you. Painting, sculpture, drawing, dancing and many others could open doors for you to make use of your spare time in creative outputs and sell these to buyers

6. Internet: One of the key avenues for making more money is the internet. You can get into panels where you can mentor apprentices in your specialization, enter into internet polls, or be a member of panels in market surveys. On the other side of the coin, if you are an IT guy you can develop custom software for users who wish to have their own patent software products

7. Hobby: In early days a hobby is where you spend time and money and get prestige say as a stamp collector. Today you can turn the same hobby into garnering more money. Rare stamps, coins and currency notes fetch huge price. On juxtaposition stands faulty currency notes where the fault is originated by the issuing sovereigns. Such notes fetch at least hundred thousand dollars

8. Sit & Earn: This is the plum area. Initially you have to spend time and energy in developing something like a patent or process method which you can allow buyers to make use of it on condition of paying a royalty to you

9. Disposing Investments: If you have no guts and patience to do any of the above, look into your financial history. There may be few investments made that lie without being noticed. Dispose such investments and make quick money. Alternatively, you may have in your drawers old pass books that have credit balance. Take these to the issuing financial institutions and close and take the cash out

10. Chasing Debtors: It is time for you to speak to those who owe you money and get some part or if possible full payment

11. Sell Excess Assets: Look at your home & garden. You will have several items that you no longer use or needed by anybody. It can be table; chair or a standalone computer, anything that can be disposed would bring some liquidity

12. Consult: Nothing works for you; then start to consult others. I have seen even top professionals who worked for the US Government when leaving office declare themselves as consultants. Many of them join think tanks as part-timers or on-call consultants or simply remain un-employed. Once in a way they get breaks that set them for their rest of the life. May be you could be one of them.

Whatever you do try to understand and evaluate your cosmics so that you can employ cosmics to your own advantages. You know, that, cosmics are aspects residing within you shaping and influencing your career life throughout. One way of harnessing cosmic energy is to wear a suitable gems & crystals that bring you wealth and fortune.

As a business person your main concentration is focused on improving your business and improving your cash-flow. There are so many blogs on the subject of cash-flow. Let me be different and give you a functional model on how to improve your cash-flow.

In a business there are three major functions: Sales, Operations and Purchases. Let us do reverse engineering and start with the sales function, meander our way through operations and arrive at the purchases.

Sales

1. Look at your sales model; you have cash sales which is now becoming something rare due to recession. In cash-sales you raise invoice, receive cash and deliver goods and that is all over. As a matter of prudence, you should give incentives to your customers who pay by cash. Customers would give currency, bank cheque or credit card. If the sales are on credit card it is the same process but the merchant who services your credit card takes out a portion of your sales income. You should negotiate with your merchant better terms for you. Whatever the form cash-sales help improving your cash-flow tremendously

2. A credit sale is a different ball game; you part with the goods but the payment is received after a lag of time. Here you have to control the following areas to improve your cash-flow:

2.1 Never overtrade with a single customer; broaden your customer base

2.2 Do not stick to uniform credit terms; be flexible in extending period of credit depending on the customers and situations

2.3 As you deliver goods see the bill/invoice is also delivered; for large amount insist on acknowledgement

2.4 Segment your customers into: fast payers, prompt payers, slow payers and non-payers. Always offer rewards to those who pay well before the due date or promptly on due date. As regards to the slow payers send them reminders at-least couple of weeks before due-date and keep on chasing after the due date. You should not deal with the non-payers except in getting your money back

Operations

Operational expenses can take two forms: internal and external; internal relates to payment of salaries, wages etc. while external covers areas such as utility and other bought-in services. Follow the guidelines to ensure healthy relationship with staff and expense creditors:

1. Pay employee salary and wages on the dot

2. Pay external bills only on the due date; never pay before it falls due

3. Get whatever discount you can have on prompt payment of the external expense bills

Purchases

Like in sales purchase is a critical area where your money is tied down. Ensure the following in improving your cash-flow:

1. Plan your purchase function very well; time of purchase and level of purchase should correspond to smooth functioning of your production/process department. Over-stocking is as bad as non-availability of input goods as and when required. Institute good inventory management system and ensure that no waste, theft or leakages take place

2. Negotiate best terms of your purchases in price, delivery and related matters

3. Monitor payables so that you are never behind payment

4. And you must make payment only on the date due or just prior to the due date in case of holidays etc..

Cosmics

In addition to the above three major functions, cosmics should also be taken into considerations. The above three are mechanical and business like functions. Cosmics, on the other hand, work internally and outside the realm of mechanics. You must make your office bathing in cosmic energy. There are several measures that you can take to harness cosmic power; one easy way is that you can keep gems & crystals to get that extra zing. Some of the gems & crystal recommended include: Garnets in several hues: chiefly red, orange, yellow, pink and violet; green coloured Aventurine, Calcite and Tourmaline.

You get a silver streak with the Full Moon of September 2010 which grants you the ability to focus on your objectives and the chance to achieve goals; it elevates you in business and social standing; gives you a welcome relief from stress and strain as regards to your family life. Let me explain the details of the September Full Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and offer you few tips in improving your life.

Astronomy

1. Full Moon: The Full Moon appears at 09.17 UTC/GMT on Thursday, 23 September 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) 23 hour 55 minutes 24 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 4 degree 28 minutes 17 seconds

3. Constellation: Pisces

4. Illumination: 99.98 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 two days earlier on Tuesday, 21 September at 08.03 UTC/GMT. At the time of full moon stage, the Moon is about 251,680 miles away from the earth; consequently the pulling power of the Moon has improved over the apogee position

6. Autumn Equinox: The Full Moon comes six hours after the Autumn Equinox taking place at 03.08 UTC/GMT

7. Surrounding Planet: Jupiter is located in Pisces constellation south of the Moon. In fact Jupiter is almost on the same Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) at this moment at 23 hours 55 minutes and 40 seconds, but some 14 arc seconds to the east of the Moon. There is no conjunction as Jupiter is located more than 6 degrees south from the position of the Moon

8. Lunar Mansions: At the time of Full Moon, it has managed to brace through to the Twenty-seventh Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Al-Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al-Fargh Al-Thani” which means “the second sprout”. This is one of the 28 lunar mansions and said to be very auspicious

9. Moon Location: At the time of full moon stage the Moon is located just below the knot tying the tail of the western fish in the Pisces constellation. I noticed the star Vernalis is north of the Moon and comes in direct line of sight.

10. Star: “Vernalis” means “Star of the spring” in Latin. Astronomically, Vernalis is called as Omega Piscium; the alphabet Omega is the last one in Greek alphabet and ranks 24. 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. Generally Vernalis figures during Vernal Equinox in March, when the Sun comes south of this star. This time it is Autumn Equinox, Lo and Behold we see the Moon is located below this magnificent star. Vernalis is a single, 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.

Cosmics

The combined effect of the Full Moon in the circumstances described above gives mainly positive and few negative cosmic results:

Positive Cosmics: Enthusiasm all round; ability to focus in achieving goals; feeling of elation within; elevation in position in career and business; easing of family stress and strain; partying and club-going are on the rise

Negative Cosmics: Dry and hot outside and dry & hot inside tends to develop hyper-activities in sex and fun; un- bridled enjoyment and entertainment leading to brawls and break-ups

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. Reconcile with your family members if you had disagreements before; move fast to cement the pot-holes in your relationship that has dragged on for some time now

2. Diarise a date to visit elders and remember to buy presents for your children as if Christmas is round the corner

3. Belated though it is, you can go for a family outing

Business

1. Time to ask for a raise in salary or a promotion in your job

2. Zoom in, on the short term goals; let me ask you a question: Have you reached your targets in sales? If not go out and try

3. New customers or reviving old customers who have ceased to do business with you must be your priority now

Lifestyle

1. Have a nice time with colleagues; engage in sports and entertainment

2. Good time to date, propose or fix a time and date for marriage

3. Get bluer tinge in your clothing and attire; as regards to Gems & Crystals, I recommend Lapis Lazuli, Agate, Topaz or Azurite.

So you are a brilliant stockbroker who make good fortune in the market and at the same time remain committed in protecting the interest of your clients. If so, you have the star Kochab guiding you in spirit and in action. For your benefit, I sketch details of astronomy and cosmics of the star Kochab and give you few tips in improving your life.

Astronomy

1. The name of the star “Kochab” is derived from Hebrew and Arabic lexicon for a heavenly body. Both Hebrew and Arabic scriptures mention the word “Kawkab” in reference to stars. In Arabic, Kochab has a lengthy name “Al-Kawkab Al-Shamaliy” meaning “the star of the north”. Because, a millennium ago this star Kochab was the North Star. Kochab is about 16 degrees away from the present day North Star, Polaris. Astronomical name for this star is “Beta Ursae Minoris (B Ursa Minor)”. In some directories the star is also written as “Kocab”

2. It is the second brightest star in the Little Bear constellation with a visual magnitude of 2.08

3. Kochab is an orange colour giant star with abnormally strong barium within it giving rise to a magnificent light and the spectral classification of “K4 III Ba 03 “

4. It is located at 126 light years away from us

5. Kochab shines about 500 times luminous than our Sun; its surface temperature at 4,000 Kelvin and its distance are factored in the star giving us cool and orange rays

6. The size of Kochab is about 50 times of our Sun

7. Kochab is a prominent star in the asterism known as “Little Dipper Asterism” in the Little Bear constellation; it occupies the top and front of the spoon in that asterism

8. The co-ordinates of the star Kochab are as follows:

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 14 hour 50 minutes 42 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 74 degree 9 minutes 20 seconds

Cosmics

1. The star Kochab is located on the right side top hide over the back of the little bear

2. Little Bear constellation is significant because it presently has Polaris functioning as the North Star and previously had Kochab acting as North Star, both of these are located within the constellation

3. Many cultures had fascinating affair with this star Kochab. Singly, this star was “ Polos” to the Greeks meaning the “ north star” ; Emperor to the Chinese; Guiding star for the sea – faring Phoenicians (modern day Lebanese). Together with the neighbouring star Pherkad, Kochab got a title as “Guardians of the Pole” The Arabs also considered the two stars as the calves of the Bear. They had two descriptive names for Kochab: “Al-Nair Al-Farqadain” meaning “the bright one of the calves” and “Al-Anwar Al- Farqadain” meaning “the Light of the two calves”

4. Kochab is located in the Sixteenth Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Al-Manzil al- Qamar) of “Al-Zubana” (“The Claws” in Arabic). This lunar mansion is said to give mainly positive and sometimes negative results. It gives sense of judgment and sense of courage in equal measures. For those who make bad judgements it grants their death wish

5. Significantly, Kochab gives qualities of nourishment and protection to you and to those who are connected with you; you get elated spirit and are ready for the rough and tumble of busy business life

6. Kochab does not figure as a birth star, sighted by the Moon or lucky star sighted by other six planets because it is located close to the northern pole at 74 degree north. Hence, Kochab can influence your life as a rising star or a culminating star only. Rising star is defined as the star rising in the eastern horizon at the time of your birth; whereas Culminating star is defined as the star that was just overhead at the time of your birth. There is one more condition: the effect of the star Kochab does not concern those who are born in locations above 74 Parallel north such as Nunavut in Canada or below 16 degree parallel south such as Queensland in Australia

Improving Your Life

The following are few recommendations to improve your life:

1. You should select white, apple-white, orange, crimson red as colours appropriate for your dress

2. Number 1, 4 and 6 are cosmically inclined towards you, so use these liberally in your business transactions

3. You need more air in your system as it gets moist and hot simultaneously

4. Any “ T” word marks your success: trade, travel, training and host of others. Speculative jobs such as stock broking , bond broking and dealing in white goods such as fridges and washing machines could lead to prosperity

5. Observation, analytics and deriving conclusions go systematically in your brain. Number gurgitation is observed as a significant trait. Hence you can fit in as investor , partner or venture capitalist

6. Kochab favours risk taking life style both in family and business; consequently everything depends on the quality of your judgement. Kochab can make you succeed in family and business affairs or break either or both

7. Sex & marriage together are not given excellent marks under the Kochab regime as one of these will definitely falter; nonetheless, your marriage could last without much enjoyment for quite sometime

8. Spend your leisure time in vast open to the sky spaces; for sports select swimming and aqua activities

9. Fire opal, Hessonite and Chalcedony are gems & crystals suiting you fine

Many of you have to work hard to get money and wealth. But there are few who just get wealthy through the efforts of others; besides enjoyment of life too. If you are born under the star Albali you fit in this class. Check with this blog that dovetails astronomy and cosmics of the star Albali and gives you few tips in improving your life.

Astronomy

1. The name of the star “Albali” is from Arabic “Al-Balii” which means “the Swallower”. Astronomical name of this star is “Epsilon (e) Aquarii”. Originally the term Albali was used to refer to this star Albali and two of its neighbouring stars Mu (u) Aquarii and Nu (v) Aquarii; later the name Albali was limited to this star Epsilon Aquarii only, whereas Mu and Nu Aquarii stars were collectively called as “Al-Bulaan” which in Arabic means “Dual”

2. Albali is a sub-giant white star with bluish tinge interspersed; its spectral classification is “A1 V “

3. It is located at 230 light years away from us

4. It is a fourth magnitude star in brilliance with a visual magnitude of 3.75

5. Albali shines 138 time luminous than our Sun and gives out hot blue-to-white rays; this colour against the background of infra-red light emanating from the surrounding debris of Albali, makes the star a fascinating object to watch

6. Albali rotates every 2 to 3 days and considered to be very rich in metals

7. Astronomers continue to study star Albali and the nearby stars Mu and Nu Aquarii as the noted planetary nebula known as “Saturn Nebula (NGC 7009) is located very close to Nu Aquarii. It is called Saturn Nebula as it appears like the planet Saturn with a disc

8. The co-ordinates of the star Albali is as follows:

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 20 hour 48 minutes 15 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 9 degree 29 minutes 45 seconds

Cosmics

1. The star Albali is located on the left hand ring finger of Aquarius, the water bearer. According to constellation picture made by Urania’s Mirror in 1825, Albali is located on the ring finger, Mu Aquarii on the first finger and Nu Aquarii on the forearm; all these stars are located on the left hand. See the picture below:

Constellation Picture of Aquarius by Urania’s Mirror

2. Aquarius is one of the oldest constellations. In Greek legend Aquarius is “Ganymede” whose job is to pour divine nectar called ambrosia to the Gods out of the jug he carries

3. The celebrated Persian Astronomer Al Kazwini is the opinion that the strange title “Swallower” comes from the fact that Al-Bali and two other stars close by, namely Mu (u) and Nu (v) Aquarii join together to swallow or absorb the light coming from the stars in the nearby Capricornus constellation

4. Albali is located in the Twenty-third Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al-Manzil al- Qamar) of “Al-Saad-Al-Bula” (“The Good Fortune of the Swallower” in Arabic). This lunar mansion is said to be auspicious out of the 28 lunar mansions and considered to shower power & glory along with amassing of wealth of which the major is gift or bequeath

5. Albali star is located very close to the celestial equator and can be counted as ruling star for you in the following order:

Birth star: If the Moon sights this star at the time of your birth

Lucky star: If Planets other than the Moon sight this star at the time of your birth

Rising star: If the star arises in the eastern horizon at the time of your birth

Culminating star: If the star is just overhead at the time of your birth

Improving Your Life

The following are few recommendations to improve your life:

1. You should select white, blue, cooling crimson as colours appropriate for your dress

2. Number 5 & 8 are cosmically inclined towards you, so use these liberally in your business transactions

3. You have to drink plenty of water

4. Sky is the limit for you; your expansive moods and nut-cracking lifestyle get accentuated by watching the blue-sky

5. Traders in Jewellery or Gems & Crystals make great success; deal makers and stockbrokers are hugely benefited

6. For politicians or rulers this star works wonder; moreover, if they are born on 8, 17 or 26 they get immense power and glory

7. Un-earned wealth by way of gift or bequeath come in your way from family or friends in an un-expected manner

8. Marriage is always stormy because you will have a harem where wives of others entertain you

9. Spend your time in gardening, whenever possible

New Moon in September 2010 brings positive feeling and a new beginning geared towards good results. Your career is in good shape; business is doing well; there is peace and prosperity in family life too. 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.

Astronomy

September New Moon

The September New Moon appears at 10.30 (GMT/UTC) on Wednesday 8 September 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this. At this time the Sun and the Moon are more than eleven arc minutes apart; besides the Sun is more than 4 degree to the north of the New Moon; hence any chance of a conjunction is averted. The co-ordinates of the Sun and the Moon are given below:

Co-ordinates

The Sun

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 11 hour 7 minutes 16 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 5 degree 38 minutes 47 seconds

The Moon

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 10 hour 56 minutes 32 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 1 degree 17 minutes 03 seconds

Perigee

This is the point where the Moon is closest to the Earth in its revolution. The Moon reached the Perigee point on the same day morning at 04.00 UTC/GMT when its distance from the Earth was around 221,948 miles. At the time of New Moon, the Moon has moved little farther from the perigee point about 222,051 miles away from our Earth. Even though the pulling power of the Moon is higher during Perigee stage, the fact that this is a New Moon with least illumination means that the pulling power is fairly muted

Illumination

Illuminated around 0.2 percent the New Moon cannot be seen by us. Glare of the Sun apart, the Moon’s illumination is too insignificant for it to be recognized

Constellation

The Moon has arrived in the Leo constellation just-in-time travelling from the Sextans constellation, as it reaches the New Moon stage

Location of Moon

The New Moon is located at the bottom of the right paw of the mighty lion

Surrounding Planets

1. Mercury is located in Leo constellation to the north-west of the Moon

2. The Sun is in Leo constellation north-east to the Moon

3. Saturn, Mars and Venus, in that order are located to the south-east of the Moon in the Virgo constellation

Star

No significant star is noted at this time and location

Lunar Mansions

The New Moon arises in the Eleventh Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al-Manzil al- Qamar) of “Al-Zubrah” (“The Mane” in Arabic). This lunar mansion is very auspicious out of the 28 lunar mansions and deemed to shower primarily positive results

Cosmics

The combined effect of the New Moon in the circumstances described above gives primarily positive and quite a few negative cosmic results:

Positive Cosmics: Air of confidence in and around you; you are in control with maturity and mellowness to go with it; marriage is working exceedingly well; cash- flow improves; memory of parents and duty towards less fortunate hovers around you; calm and serenity in the ambience coupled with good guidance put you on the winning track

Negative Cosmics: Cold and moist outside and to the lesser extent inside too brings a feeling of uniformity and laziness; sense of fear and anxiety in the minds of secularists whereas a degree of reverence and worship in the minds of church-goers; you may develop dependency syndrome if you are weak financially or physically

Improving Your Life

The effect of the New Moon lasts generally for a fortnight till the next Full Moon; I am giving few tips for improving your life till then:

Family

1. Women in the family are generally in weak spot as regards to their health; both menstruating and nursing women could suffer more

2. Excellent time for marriage as man woman combination works well. Gays and Lesbians could receive the wrath of the Nature

3. Rest and recreation is the key for keeping your body and mind fit

Business

1. Excellent time for those who are carrying on independent business or occupation; Business executives in companies are more attuned to do planning and execution of the plans; Marketing guys make good value-judgement even with declining profit margins; textiles and trade are industry segments showing great potential

2. Expansion of business, construction of new wings in offices and factories could be timed to this season

3. Money is aplenty with lending and borrowing to go hand-in-hand; bad debts are zeroed-in either by payment or write-off

Lifestyle

1. Good time for love, marriage, romance and dating; sex-related diseases specially coming arsing in same-sex couples are forecast

2. Be prepared to travel at short notice to promote your business or to take part in family engagement

3. Use shades of yellow colour in your dress; eat more yellow vegetables and fruits; lemon and lime are fruits that go with the prevailing temperament; moreover lemon flavour works well. If you have time for leisure do travel to flat land where you see the sky and the horizon clearly; perchance if you see lotus flower anywhere take a snap shot or peer through your eyes to get its cosmics; in the corollary those who do yoga are advised to perform more “ Padmasana” or lotus postures in this season

4. As regards to Gems & Crystals, I suggest yellow shade gems such as lemon topaz, yellow sapphire along with zircon, beryl, garnet in light shades of yellow to maximize positive cosmics.

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

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.
