What is Your Right Sun Sign?

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

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.

What makes Venus Unique?

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Bright in the sky, planet Venus is similar to our Earth. But many of her features are so unique that Venus has gained importance not only in Astronomy but in your life too. This blog post details facts about Venus in terms of Astronomy, Legend and Cosmics to enable you to understand Venus better and embark upon improving your life and lifestyle.

Astronomy

Venus is a feminine planet and I have used the word she or her appropriately:

1. Similarity to Earth: She is considered as twin sister of Earth due to similarity in terms of size, mass and gravity. The diameter of Venus is 7,521 miles about 86% of that of the Earth; her mass is about 82 % of that of the Earth. Gravity of Venus is equal to 90% of the Earth’s gravity; for example a person weighing 100 pounds on Earth would weigh 90 pounds on Venus

2. Difference between Earth and Venus: Key difference lie in the atmosphere of Venus which is made up of mostly carbon dioxide. It is too hot there with average temperature on the surface ranging about 460 degree Celsius compared to Earth’s hottest temperature at 58 Celsius. Furthermore, the density in the atmosphere of Venus is very high; something like 92 times the air pressure of Earth prevails on Venus. If you land there you would simply be crushed and melted. Yet anther difference is equally appalling. Sulphuric acid in the cloud surrounding Venus together with lack of water on surface or beneath makes the planet inhospitable

3. Proximity to Earth: Venus is the closest planet from the Earth; her mean distance is calculated as 0.28 astronomical Unit or about 26 million miles. In her orbit around the Sun, Venus travels closest to the Earth at 23.7 million miles; when it moves away from the Earth her distance is about 162 million miles

4. Appearance: Venus appears both in mornings and evenings, a scenario that led ancient Greeks to conclude that there are two such planets: Phosphorus for the morning one and Hesperus for the Evening one. However, modern astronomers found that Venus appears at times in the western sky in the evening when Venus is moving towards the Earth and other times Venus appears in the eastern sky in the morning when Venus is moving away from the Earth

5. Conjunction: In her orbit around the Sun Venus can come in between Earth and the Sun which is known as Inferior conjunction where the light of Venus is lost due to the glare of the Sun. When Venus goes to the opposite point, Sun comes in between Venus and Earth which is known as superior conjunction where the Sun completely occults (covers) Venus and shuts her light falling on Earth

6. Brightness: Venus is the brightest planet viewed from Earth after the Sun and the Moon. There are several reasons: one is the proximity and the other in the manner in which Venus rotates. The silvery planet rotates so slowly on her axis that it takes 243 days for a single revolution. Compare this with Earth’s rotation of 24 hours. Now in her orbit around the Sun Venus takes 224 days just about seven and half months to complete the journey. This feature makes Venus remaining almost as a day planet

7. Rotation: The other four planets namely, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn rotate on their axis West to East called counter clockwise, whereas Venus rotates on her axis East to West called clockwise. There is a reason for this phenomenon. Millenniums ago Venus was struck by a huge asteroid. As a result Venus turned upside down. Even today Venus rotates on its axis that tilts about 177 degrees. So Venus is seen as rotating East to West. If she was in her original condition then she would behave like the other four planets

8. Topography: Her surface is covered by caters created by volcanoes and have topography of huge mountains (higher than mountains on Earth) with valleys in between representing bosoms of a lady. Hence the planet is considered feminine.

Legend

1. Venus is named after the Roman Goddess of love and beauty due to silvery light and the appearance of heaving bosom of a lady

2. Venus is the jewel in the sky bright with her carbon dioxide representing blue diamonds

3. Both Holy Scriptures Bible and Quran call Venus as the “morning star”; Venus is one of the stars that guided the three magi to Infant Jesus

4. Hindus called Venus, Shukra personifying the great teacher of Ashura by the name Shukracharya who is said to bestow many boons including Wealth & prosperity, Knowledge & arts, Happiness & enjoyment, Luxury & comfort, Love & marriage, Sex & pleasure, Sensuality & civility and Beauty and brains.

Cosmics

The position of Venus at the time of your birth is very important to understand the nature of your cosmics:

Firstly, you have to find out where Venus was posited at the time of your birth. Theoretically, Venus visits 24 constellations in the sky. In addition to the Twelve Zodiacal Constellations where Venus spends most number of days it also visits Four Non-Zodiacal Constellations: Ophiuchus, Cetus, Orion and Sextant. Moreover, Venus touches eight other constellations one day or less out of 1000 days as calculated by the Astronomical Institute of Utrecht University in Germany. Venus in different constellations means different things for you. Venus in Aries can make you a famed soldier and in Capricornus can make you a renowned professor. Venus in Virgo however can make you a ladies man

Secondly, you have to find out whether Venus was in the sky map of your place of birth at the time of your birth. If so, you have to see whether it was rising, culminating or setting in the sky at the time of your birth. A rising Venus makes you famous; culminating Venus turns you a man who enjoys life; setting Venus however, can cause trouble for your sex and family life

Thirdly, you have to find out whether any phenomenon involving Venus has taken place at the time of your birth. For example, if there is an inferior conjunction your life and fame are overshadowed by events beyond your control; if there is superior conjunction your rise in career and family life finally goes up in smoke due to a transgression on your part.

Perfumes for You

Friday, December 11th, 2009

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

Let the Sunlight Come in

Monday, December 7th, 2009

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.

Good Days for taking Bath, Shower or Swim

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Not all days are same in terms of cosmics; some days are cold some are dry; still others can be moist. Depending on the day of the week a particular element comes into force. Taking a bath, shower or swim must take into account of the peculiarities of each day. This blog post helps you to do just that; it helps you change your life style and cosmics and improving your life too.

Brief

We begin from Sunday and work through the seven days. Each day is divided into two parts: Day & Night. Day begins from the Sunrise and ends with Sun down. Night begins from Sunset and ends on the following morning with the Sunup. The Seven Planets own different day and different night segments. I have followed the system of planet ownership as given by Abdul Rahman Mohammed bin Ahmad Al-Biruni (Al-Biruni), the famous Arab Astronomer.

Sunday

Day: Owned by the Sun Hot & Dry Planet. You should avoid taking bath or shower inside a closed place; no harm if you go for swim in morning hours in “open to the sky” areas such as pool, pond, river or sea. Those who suffer from skin ailments are recommended to be in bath-tub during morning hours.

Cosmics: You have a sense of reversal; computer guys call it “reverse engineering”; cure and cathartic effect; for senior citizens it may result in loss of energy

Night: Owned by Mercury, Moderately Cold & Dry planet. A shower is recommended.

Cosmics: You feel relieved of pain or stress but at the same time you see pulse and heart-beat going up. Typically body temperature is balanced; occasionally it could lead to imbalance.

Monday

Day: Owned by the Moon, Cold & Moist planet. Universally recommended as good day for taking bath, shower or swim; except for those who suffer from asthma or lung-related disorders and those who are born with their Moon in Cancer constellation.

Cosmics: You notice lightness and opalescence within you along with a feeling of elation.

Night: Owned by Jupiter, Moderately Warm & Moist planet. Bath, shower or swim within house or under a roof is recommended.

Cosmics: You get pleasantness in and around you along with soft, smooth and refreshed skin in your body.

Tuesday

Day: Owned by Mars, Very Hot & Dry planet. You should avoid taking bath, shower or swim inside house or outside. Those who are suffering from heat related disorders and those who come under evil spirits should opt for a bath or shower inside house under supervision.

Cosmics: You observe that heat generated inside you goes down initially and picks up afterwards; it can lead to dryness of skin and coarseness in speech. To balance, take fruits or fruit juice with sugar or honey after 30 minutes of bath or shower.

Night: Owned by Venus, Moderately Cold & Moist planet. Taking bath, shower or swim is very helpful to students, white colour workers who use brain rather than brawn. Specially recommended for women who suffer from female sexual dysfunction

Cosmics: You get a balming sense in your nerves and ripening of intellectual, artistic and sexual energy within.

Wednesday

Day: Owned by Mercury, Moderately Cold & Dry planet. It is customary to take bath, shower or swim in many cultures on this day. In Tamil there is a saying that “Even if you give gold you won’t get a Wednesday”. Students and adolescents must take a bath, shower or swim.

Cosmics: Relaxed with enthusiasm to do more of studies or work. An early morning bath or shower is preferred; for swimming it must be after 10.00 a.m.

Night: Owned by Saturn, Very Cold & Dry Planet. Shower or swim is recommended for those who go out in the evening on date or dancing or those who engage in work-out or sports; long distance travellers must take a shower or swim. In the case of women with dry skin suitable cream or lotion must be applied after shower or swim. Those who are suffering from catarrh or severe lung related disorders are recommended to daub wet towel over their body instead of shower or swim

Cosmics: slow burning heat with excessive dryness for people with heaty temperament; intense cold with moderate dryness for people with cold temperament.

Thursday

Day: Owned by Jupiter, Moderately Warm & Moist planet. Bath, shower or swim within house or “open to the sky” areas such as pool, pond, river or sea is generally recommended. Specially recommended for pregnant women, nursing women, convalescing patients or senior citizens. Those who intend to commence any business undertaking should take bath or shower in the early hours.

Cosmics: All round pleasantness, easiness, a sense of deja vous; feeling of smoothness inside and a sweet smell of success outside.

Night: Owned by the Sun Hot & Dry Planet. Take a bath, shower or swim after 9.00 p.m. Generally recommended for party-goers, those who engage in physical work, exercise or sports. Pregnant women, nursing mothers and convalescing patients should avoid wetting their bodies during night.

Cosmics: Feeling of satisfaction for those engage in physical work; for others it could lead to worn-out feeling, emptiness and loss of stamina.

Friday

Day: Owned by Venus, Moderately Cold & Moist planet. Both Hindu and Islamic cultures recommend taking bath or shower on Fridays. It is specifically recommended for women of all ages; for those who are in the spiritual path; and at the mundane level for those who had sexual relations. Celebrities and artists should splash cool and refreshing water over them.

Cosmics: Most refreshing; balming sense pervades in the body and mind; upliftment of intellectual and spiritual power; rise and satiation of Kundalini

Night: Owned by the Moon, Cold & Moist planet. Bath, shower or swim is recommended for those who study for an examination or engaged in the field of arts such as music and dancing. Bath inside a tub is recommended for those men who suffer from sexual deficiency such as erectional dysfunction. Asthmatic patients must avoid getting into water.

Cosmics: Inwardly penetrating; balances the energy of earth and water consequently you get a feeling of confidence and sexual maturity.

Saturday

Day: Owned by Saturn, Very Cold & Dry Planet. Bath, shower or swim is recommended for those who go out or engage in exercise or sports. Truants must be forced to take a shower at-least. Those who get criminal feeling inside their mind can get away from it by taking a swim in morning hours in “open to the sky” areas such as pool, pond, river or sea. Those who are experiencing financial or carer difficulties would derive benefit by taking a bath or shower inside house. Women who have given birth can take bath on alternate Saturdays after applying suitable oil or cream. Those who are suffering from catarrh or severe lung related disorders are recommended to take bath every Saturday.

Cosmics: Cold and dryness that is experienced in the beginning would be moderated towards the end resulting in a slow and steady rise of internal delight along with an energised body. To get the best of cosmics take bath, shower or swim before 11.00 a.m.

Night: Owned by Mars, Very Hot & Dry planet. You should avoid taking bath, shower or swim inside house or outside, unless you are fruit bat.

Cosmics: Leads to dryness of skin and coarseness in speech. Habitual bathers or swimmers of Saturday night get fevers, heat strokes, sharp and hot temperament resulting in imbalance in their systems. If you are compelled to take bath or swim then eat lot of fruits or fruit juice with sugar or honey after 30 minutes of bath or swim.

Antares: Star of the Generals

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Have you seen action in the battle field or engaged in political gerrymandering or in corporate brinkmanship? If yes you are one of the chosen few who have the sight and influence of the huge and bright star Antares. In this blog post, I examine the Star Antares in terms Astronomy and Cosmics and outline recommendations to improve your Life and Lifestyle.

Astronomy

The word Antares means “Like Ares” or “Rival to Ares”; as you know, Ares is the Greek god of war, whom the Romans called as Mars. Antares is located in the Scorpio constellation where it is the brightest star. Beaming in red and orange hue with a greenish tinge the star is the sixteenth brightest in the known sky. It has number of aliases: The Arab astronomers called it “Al-Qalb al-Aqrab” meaning the “heart of the Scorpio” as it is located in the middle of the Scorpio constellation. This led to the Latin name “Cor Scorpii” meaning the same. It is also known as “ Vespertilio” meaning “Bat” as it hovers in the ecliptical path like a bird.

Due to its metallic red colour, its location in the ecliptical path and its shining brightness, Antares is often confused for or compared with the Planet Mars. Antares is frequently occulted by the Moon; other Planets also sight the star as and when they sojourn in the Scorpio constellation. Mars conjuncts Antares once in two years.

This red super-giant astronomically known as “Alpha Scorpii” varies in brightness between 0.9 to 1.1 magnitude. It is a binary with a companion star much smaller than itself. Astronomers describe Antares as a semi-regular pulsating binary. It is classified as a red colour intermediate super giant luminous at times and less luminous at some other times which is written in astronomical short-hand as “M 1.5 Iab-Ib”. The companion star is blue-white and a main sequence star, which is written in astronomical short-hand as “B2.5 V”. Due to its pulsating nature and varying degree of brightness and due to the blue-white colour of its companion star mixing with its own metallic redness, Antares whimsically radiates in an unusual orange hue with a greenish tinge.

In addition to the companion, Antares has two aide-de camps as they say in the Military. It is flanked by two great stars: Sigma Scorpii in the north-west on the upper segment and Tau Scorpii in the south-east on the lower segment; both the stars are called by the Arab Astronomers as “Al-Niyat” , which means “The Arteries”. They had a logical reason to do so: since Antares is the heart of the Scorpio both Sigma and Tau Scorpii the two stars flanking the heart , should better be named as arteries. Antares the General, cannot be left with is the aid-de-camps only. A litany of soldiers has to stand guard the commander. So we have one of the brilliant star cluster M4 (Messier Object 4) Globular Cluster with about 50 stars within located half-way between Antares and Sigma Scorpii. I am giving you an excellent astro-photo of this scenario:

Antares is located in Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 16 hour 29 minutes and 24 seconds and Declination (Celestial Latitude) 26 degree 25 minutes and 55 seconds south. Much cooler than the Sun it has surface temperature of 3,400 Kelvin. It is about 604 light years away and about 15 times the size of the Sun. It has 500,000 million miles diameter something like 800 times the Sun. To cap it all, Antares is 60,000 times luminous than the Sun. Antares is moving away from earth at a speed of 2 miles per second. Large and powerful stellar winds blow within Antares making huge red flairs and great sound of lashing. Sadly, Antares has finished its helium stock and is now losing its own mass; one day it will end its life as a great red star by transforming itself as a brilliant supernova.

Cosmics

Historically, Antares together with three other stars namely, Regulus, Fomalhaut and Aldebaran were considered as the Royal Stars of Persia about 3000 B.C. They were venerated as the four guardians of heaven: Regulus in north, Antares in west, Fomalhaut in South and Aldebaran in East. The Persian names went as Venant, Satevis, Hastorang and Tascheter respectively. These four stars not only acted as guardians but also marked the season as well. These were located approximately in 6 hours interval in the space roughly about 3 months marking the equinoxes and the solstices. The star also personifies the Arab warrior Anter who lived in the days before the Holy Prophet. This warrior was once a slave; when he was called upon to take part in battle he did so proving his valour resulting him being manumitted; he was also allowed to marry his sweetheart a lady of noble personage. In the Euphratean culture Antares is the Lord of the Steed. The star marks the Eighteenth Arabic Lunar Mansion (Manzil) “Al- Qalb” (The Heart ) which is generally considered as fortunate.

The following are Cosmics Highlights of the star Antares

1. It is just opposite of the Star Aldebaran located in the east, when Antares sets

Aldebaran rises and vice versa. Antares represented the Autumn Equinox in early times; today Antares can be seen at its highest point on June 22 every year

2. Antares has opposite directions. It is the star of bravery and at the same time of foolish and rash behaviour. Antares personifies a great general who can be deceived by a puny soldier; great military honour leading the person to bask in the glory and wither away later

3. Whoever born under the star would move towards west from their birth place

4. Antares grants you several positive cosmics: Courage & Determination; working against many odds to achieve your goals; amassing wealth from spoils of war or victory in ventures such as corporate raiding; fortune, eminence and action orientation; fight for social causes like liberty, equality and fraternity in the style of French revolutionaries; lot of energy flowing from the Base Chakra (Nafs in Arabic); the energy flows of Fire, Spirit, Air, Water and Earth would be finely balanced at the beginning but would go haywire as you grow older; magnanimity trimmed with selfishness is your hallmark

5. Negative cosmics abound: rash behaviour; insubordination; rebelling against the establishment; sowing discord amongst the rank and file especially in the army corps; arrogance & over-confidence; slip of the tongue and not fault of the brain; often betrayed by own confidante’s ; wisdom taking back-seat ; success savoured in ventures dissipates if level head does not prevail

6. The Arabic Lunar Manzil Al-Qalb makes you a high-spirited person with huge fire energy along with the sound of fury; you will rise like a meteor unless heavens forbid you will fall like Napoleon Bonaparte. This Manzil is favourable for those who engage in war or fight for a worthy cause; on the fillip side this Manzil encourages rebellion, sedition and insubordination.

Lifestyle

The following are few of the recommendations for improving your life:

1. If Antares is your birth star, join the army or get into army related business activity. Often wear strong shade colours but not black; drink lot of water and eat red meat. Never get drunk; but lot of sex

2. If Antares is your Lucky star sighted by Mars follow the above recommendation with some modifications to suit your temperament and chemistry

3. If Antares is your rising star get into politics straightaway

4. If Antares is your culminating star it is better for you to get a job in the Government service where your function is to regulate people, commerce & industry

5. Women born under the star are susceptible to pregnancy related problems

6. Recommended gems include: Carnelian, Amethyst and Onyx.

Megrez: Star that gives you a Silver Spoon

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Are you born with a silver spoon in your mouth? You are if you satisfy one of the three conditions the English idiom sets for a person born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Either you are born into wealth and privilege or have good fortune that you did not earn but inherited from your family or simply you have every good thing happening around you with least efforts on your part. In all these cases there is the influence of the great star Megrez up on you. In this blog post, I examine the Star Megrez in terms of Astronomy, Asterism, Constellation and Cosmics and outline recommendations to improve your lifestyle.

Astronomy

Megrez is a bright hot star beaming with bluish-white colour in the northern sky. The word Megrez comes from Arabic “Al-Meghrez Al Dhaneb Al- Dubb Al- Akbar” meaning “the base of the tail of the Great Bear”. Al-Meghrez also means Buttocks. It is located in the constellation known as Ursa Major or in simple language “Great Bear”. Megrez is a part of seven star combinations known as Big Dipper Asterism. The other stars are Dubhe, Merak, Phekda, Alioth, Mizar and Alkaid all in the Great Bear. Beautiful star Megrez is the faintest amongst the seven stars. Its strategic position in the Asterism and the fact that to the north of the star there lies a starless sky except for the Messier 40, a Deep Sky Object of unusual and curious nature has made Megrez a legend in the sky.

Megrez is astronomically referred to as “ Delta Ursa Major“. It is classified as A3 V indicating it is blue-white dwarf with a variable brightness. It is a star of fourth magnitude in brightness with 3.3 visual magnitude. Megrez though ranked fourth as Delta in Greek alphabet, is the last in terms of brightness amongst the seven stars in the Big Dipper asterism. It is located in Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 12 hour 15 minutes and 25 seconds and Declination (Celestial Latitude) 57 degree 01 minutes and 57 seconds. A hydrogen fusing star, Megrez has surface temperature of 8,600 Kelvin; though the radiation is lesser than the Sun its higher internal compression makes Megrez 20 times luminous than the Sun. It is about 81 light years away and about 2.5 times the size of the Sun. It is fairly a northern star and is moving away from earth at a speed of 8.4 miles per second. Megrez has two companion stars: Delta Ursa Major B an 11 th magnitude star and Delta Ursa Major C a 10 th magnitude star both are located about three arc-minutes away from Megrez. The companions are too faintest to be seen without the aid of a telescope. Moreover, Megrez shares equidistance from the North Pole with the star Caff ((Beta Cassiopeia) which has led Megrez to be called as “ Kaffa “ by some writers erroneously.

I am reproducing a drawing made by Abu’l-Husayn Abdu’r-Rahman as-Sufi (Azophe), 10 th Century Persian Astronomer in his book

"Suwarul-Kawakib", (Uranometry) of the Great Bear below:

I have rotated the drawing to align it to the north. To trace the stars in English language, I give below a star map:

Star Map : Ursa Major

You can observe the following: the strategic position of the star Megrez in the middle of the spoon linking the handle to the bowl; the star-less region above the star Megrez; the double star optical illusion north of Megrez lying between Alioth and Megrez known as Deep Sky Object Messier 40. In the above sky map M 40 is not typed.

Asterism

Megrez 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”. In Hindu mythology the asterism is called Saptha Rishi (Seven Stages), who incant the name of Vishnu in unison.

Constellation

Megrez belongs to the constellation Ursa Major. In Greek mythology, the legend of Ursa Major the Great Bear goes like thus: Callisto daughter of King Lycaon, king of Arcadia, became a companion of Artemis (Diana) Goddess of Hunting, after taking a vow to remain as chaste nymph. Zeus known for ravishing virgins had his sight on Callisto and eventually seduced her. Callisto became pregnant; on finding this Artemis became wild and chased Callisto away from her group. Later Callisto gave birth to a son who is called as Arcas. Enraged that Callisto gave birth to a child, Artemis turned Callisto into a bear to be hunted by her. Zeus thought otherwise and sent Callisto the bear to the heaven in the northern sky. Forever, the mother bear lurks in this region bestowing blessings to those who love her, albeit evading her hunters.

Cosmics

On the positive side Megrez is a star of great fortune. The star gives you the silver spoon from the time you are born till your end, put it in other words milk and honey for you in your entire life span. Megrez provides you with wealth, happiness, success and quiet type of life. It makes you a prudent and cautious person, sometimes hesitating initially or postponing matters, but later taking full responsibility and completing the task in hand. If you are under the influence of Megrez you are basically diminutive in nature, with a medium height but with an over-developed buttock. You generally shy away from public cynosure; you are not the kind of party types with lots of friends; you will have chosen friends, colleagues and relations upon whom you spend lavishly. You will always enjoy higher life style than your parents. You are not a great talker, but a quiet doer and a smart worker. You have equanimity in belief, attitude, composure and behaviour.

Equally important are the negative comics: In most cases you prefer being silent than to say a firm No. This could be misinterpreted by people around you. Their subsequent actions might embarrass you and you will regret why you have not spoken with a firm voice initially. You will continue to face the same situation over and over again. Though you are quiet in outward appearance internally your mind works in stereographic manner. Consequently, anyone who brushes you will get slithered by the bear’s claws that you possess.

Improving Your Life

The following are few recommendations to improve your life:

1. You should select blue, white and light colours for your dress; always opt for two – piece dress

2. Numbers 2 and 7 do wonders for you

3. You must sleep, keeping your head towards the North

4. You must select business management course for your studies

5. You should select your spouse with lower living standards than  yours

6. Any business that borders on buying and selling especially across the oceans will take you to the top.

7. You should use the alphabet “Z” in your name or sound similar to it; for example if your name is Cynthia you pronounce it as “Zynthia”

8. On your study or work table keep a model of steering wheel of a ship

9 During leisure, watch action or sport films where there is car race, car-chase, horse-race or Ice-skating etc.; Watch films with children (they know better) space cartoons where the movement is fast and thrilling

10. The effect of the star Megrez is not much pronounced in cases of persons who are born in locations above 33 degree north in latitude or below 33 degree south in latitude.
