New Moon March 2010

Friday, March 12th, 2010

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.

February 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.

Orion Shield is Ready for You

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

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.

Ides of March 2010

Friday, March 5th, 2010

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.

Born Under the Trapezium Stars

Monday, March 1st, 2010

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

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.

Full Moon February 2010

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

 

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.

Jupiter Sun Conjunction February 2010

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

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.

New Moon February 2010

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

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.

Are You in the Right Job?

Friday, February 12th, 2010

If you ask this question yourself you will come out with quite a few vague statements: maybe, let me see, not at all, yes I think etc. If you ask this question from a personality counsellor he will ask you to go thru a quiz and thereafter give his findings almost similar to what you have already said. But if you analyse your cosmics you get the answer straightaway. In this blog post, let me explain about stars and elements that can determine what kind of job, you can do better.

Stars

When you are born you come under the influence of a star. We use the word star as a collective noun comprising of stars, planets, deep sky objects such as nebulae and clusters. Your stars are traced depending on your time of birth, date of birth and place of birth. Some of the stars are listed below along with the type of jobs to go with them:

Aldebaran: Multi-dimensional jobs

Alnilam: High corporate, political, military offices

Algol: Nursing, teaching, counselling and similar jobs

Antares: High positions in armed forces, regulatory offices, supervisory offices

Deneb: Operational jobs in aviation, telecast, satellite transmission; sales manager in electronic goods especially fridges, washing machines etc; manager or assistant in poultry or bird farming

Magrez: Owner director in companies dealing in domestic or global trade

Mebsuta: Middle or higher level jobs in large multi-nationals

Menkar: Junior to middle positions in public sector, non-government sector, service organizations or senior level manager in disaster management

Merak: Member of special task force, SWAT group, CIA, FBI and related institutions

Regulus: Any high office of commanding nature.

Elements

There are five elements: Fire, Spirit, Air, Water and Earth. Out of these, spirit is a late entry; originally the Greek philosophy restricted the study of elements to the first four only. Spirit as an element was introduced by Hindu and later Arab traditions. Spirit is often considered as a complement to or limiting factor for the other four elements. One of these elements would be predominant in your system. Depending on this predominant element you have to choose your job; only then, you are improving your life. Here are few suggestions:

Fire: Any jobs which requires quick action rather than delayed thinking; for example an aircraft pilot; any positions that involve actions blended with leadership; for example senior management jobs in companies; any jobs where strong and assertive behaviour is required; for example customs officer

Spirit: Any jobs in organizations that have the character of what Ralph Nader is doing in terms of reforming society or country in the field of consumerism, environment, political transparency, social progress etc. Middle to senior management positions in technology companies is also a key job area. Founders of most venture capital businesses have spirit as their predominant element

Air: Jobs ranging from Junior to senior grades in companies engaged in designing, lifestyle, entertainment, leisure etc. Best suited jobs are in operational or marketing areas; nonetheless, other areas such as finance and administration could also fit fairly well

Water: If water is your predominant element then it is better that you remain self-employed. You can take into music, arts & crafts, acting career, American Idol, speech, drama and other aesthetic areas. Water can sway others by their speech and actions; that is why most artists and celebrities have water as their predominant element

Earth: In case earth is your predominant element, then you suit well in thankless jobs such as police officers or jobs that involve hard work such as administrators in public or private sectors. Tough job of any kind is ok for you. Furthermore, positions of authority in municipal or state sectors where you have to meet everyday emergency could also be rewarding.

Menkar, Star for Disaster Management

Monday, February 8th, 2010

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.

Merak, Star that Girds Up Your Loin

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

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.

Does Moon Cause Mood Swings?

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Moon causes mood swings, true or false. Ask this question from a doctor the answer would be a thundering No. Ask this from a farmer in the village the reply would be a smiling Yes. Most pragmatic people concede that the Moon influences them in their moods and emotions. In this blog post let me give you some ideas about the Moon and how its cosmics influence your moods.

The Moon

In Astronomy, the Moon is the closest celestial body to the Earth. In fact the Moon is not a planet; it is just a satellite. The Moon orbits the Sun, however as it is gravitationally linked to the Earth It rotates around the Earth as well. The Moon was once part of the Earth. Millenniums ago a celestial body by the name of “Theia” struck the original Earth to break it into two pieces: The broken out part emerged as the Moon the remaining part continued as the Earth.

The Moon revolves around the Earth and it takes 29.56 days to complete a cycle. In this revolution the Moon goes into phases or lunation cycles. The Moon’s journey has eight such phases: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter and Waning Crescent (Balsamic Moon). Out of these eight Moon phases the New Moon and Full Moon are noted as regards to their gravitational influence in opposite directions. Full Moon pulls you whereas New Moon dulls you. Waxing Crescent and Waning Gibbous have similarity in the degree of gravitational pull; First Quarter and Last Quarter are equal in their gravitational influence.

Moreover, the Moon wobbles on his erratic and elliptical path thereby at times it gets closer to the Earth and at times it is farthest from the Earth. These aspects are called perigee and apogee:

1. Perigee: This is the point where the Moon is closest to the Earth in its revolution. The closest perigee recorded is 221,440 miles from the Earth. At this moment the Moon has the highest pulling power

2. Apogee: This is the point where the Moon is farthest from the Earth in its revolution. The farthest apogee recorded is 252,730 miles from the Earth. At this moment the Moon has reduced pulling power.

Cosmics

A combination of moon phases especially the Full Moon and the Perigee Moon causes several disturbances on Earth which we call simply as cosmics of the Moon:

1. Illumination of the Moon

The illumination of the Moon can reach as high as 99. 99 %. This is referred to as Bright Moonlight.

2. Water Bodies

The oceans rise causing high tides and tidal waves lashing at the shores. Most water bodies such as rivers, tributaries, lakes, ponds an springs get hyper-active and violently bubble. Under-water currents are very active and might travel in a haphazard manner. In rivers and estuaries water curling ups are experienced. In muddy water bodies twirling water can sap swimmers into the depth of water resulting in instant death. However, the biggest impact is on the human beings: fluctuating moods and emotions.

3. Mood Swings

Both men and women are subject to mood swings of varied degree. Some men are susceptible to high mood swings, while others experience low mood swings and still few others relatively mild or no mood swings:

3.1. A high degree of sexual arousal is experienced in women; in the case of men the sexuality could turn out to be fairly violent. Sometimes they tend to use force on sexual partners or masturbate. Making sex during this time does not give mutual satisfaction to partners

3.2. Generally the Moon influences the endocrine system; Pituitary, Hypothalamus, Thyroid, Adrenal, Thymus, Pineal , Prostrate, Pancreas glands together with Gonad, Sex and Sweat glands are all impacted by the Moon. Furthermore, vital organs, nerves, blood cells, and body cells are also affected by the Moon

3.3. The energy produced within the body system experiences see-saw pattern; consequently either you brim with vitality or complain about loss of concentration

3.4. The aspect of criminality raises its head; surprisingly more crimes take place during bright Moon than dark Moon

3.5. More people get into injury or cause injury on others; those who are prone to accidents and falls have tendency to suffer more

3.6. Emotional instability is yet another disturbance caused by the Moon especially in those who are engaged in stressful jobs and vocations or having competitive lifestyle

3.7. Mentally retarded children would experience fall in their cognitive ability, while those who are insane or on the borderline might engage in madder actions than ever.

What You Should Do?

1. Be prepared to handle Moon related disturbances that could severely affect members of your family

2. Do your planning well by checking the date of Full Moon and Perigee Moon. When the time gap between Perigee Moon and the Full Moon is less than six hours the impact of these disturbances is very high. So diarise the full Moon days. A worked example along with my interpretation is given below:

Month: January

Date: 30

Perigee Moon: 9.04 a.m. (UTC/GMT)

Full Moon: 6.19 a.m. (UTC/GMT)

Illumination: 99.87%

Time Gap: Less than 6 hours

Constellation: Cancer

As you are aware, when Full Moon is in the Cancer constellation the gravitational pull is exacerbated as Cancer is described as a dark constellation with lesser bright stars around. The only salutary factor is the illumination rate which is fairly low. You should exercise extreme caution in the course of this day as the Mood Swings could turn out to be more violent than you foresee.

Deneb, White Star of Fortune

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

After sun set during months between June till October, you are marvelled to see a bright white star in the north-eastern sky. Known as the summer star, Deneb is fascinatingly luminous. If you are born under the star you soar in wealth and fame. Let me explain about the star Deneb in this blog post, outlining its astronomy, cosmics and how you can start improving your life and lifestyle.

Astronomy

The full name of the star “Deneb” is ‘Deneb Adige” which is derived from Arabic “Al-Dhanab Al-Dajajah” meaning “Tail of the Hen”. It has couple of aliases too. One is the name of “Aridef” given from the Arabic word “Al-Ridhf” which means ‘Innermost” as Deneb is located in the tail of the swan much deep in the constellation. Another name is “Arion” one of the Lyre-players who was turned into a swan by Zeus. The star’s location in the Cygnus constellation is very unique. Whether the wings are outstretched or folded the star Deneb remains prominent and colourful.

There are number of stars in vogue carrying the common name “Deneb” meaning the tail in Arabic. Deneb Algedi and Deneb Kaitos are few of the examples. But out of all these stars Deneb Adige is the most brightest and brilliant. Hence, we call the star simply as “Deneb”. Astronomically known as Alpha Cygni, Deneb is the number one star in the Cygnus constellation. Cygnus means a swan. Deneb is a variable star located at Right Ascension (Celestial longitude) of 20 hours 41 minutes and 44 seconds and Declination (Celestial latitude) of 45 degree and 18 minutes. If you look at the star intently against the background of the nearby sky you will notice three important shapes:

1. The Northern Cross where the star Deneb is on the head, with four other stars in centre, foot, right and left of the cross

2. A flying swan with outstretched wings with the star Deneb on the tail part

3. A Summer Triangle formed by Deneb along with stars Vega and Altair.

Though Deneb is the brightest star in the Cygnus constellation, it is just the nineteenth brightest in the known sky. A blue-white super giant its apparent magnitude is 1.25, but its real or absolute magnitude must be very much higher as Deneb is about 66,500 light years away from us. It has several unique qualities:

1. It is the largest white star known to us with 20 times the size of our Sun and with a diameter of about 116 times that of the Sun

2. Its brightness changes slightly due to pulsation; Deneb has become a prototype of this type of phenomenon called “Alpha Cygni Variables” extended to other stars that pulsate in similar manner

3. Deneb is moving away from the Earth at two and half miles per second

4. Deneb has stopped fusing hydrogen at the core; heavily lashed by stellar winds, it is losing its mass steadily. Consequently, Deneb a blue- white star at present would evolve to be a red giant and then explode as a supernova after millions of years hence

5. At present, the star generates 8400 Kelvin heat giving fantastic white colour rays wherein all the colours are present in equal strength as white is the mother of all colours

6. Deneb is also surrounded by nebula; one such nebula is North America Nebula or NGC 7000

6. Deneb figures in several science fiction films such as “Star Trek”, as it remains one of the keenly watched and well –researched stars in the heaven.

Asterism

Deneb forms the Northern Cross Asterism, the one that attracts attention during the summer sky. This asterism is noted in astronomy because it arises almost in the parallel position to the star Canopus in the north eastern sky. The Northern Cross is formed by:

1. Deneb on the head

2. Sadr (Gamma Cygni) in the centre; the name Sadr from Arabic “Al-Sadr Al -Dajajah” meaning ‘Breast of the Hen”

3. Albiero ( Beta Cygni) at the foot; alternate name is Minhar from Arabic “ Al-Minhar Al-Dajajah” meaning “Beak of the Hen”

4. Delta Cygni on the left; called variably as ‘ Rukh” and Al-Fawaris” meaning ‘Mythical bird’ and ‘Rider” respectively

5. Gienah (Epsilon Cygni) on the right; the name Gienah from Arabic “ Al-Janah Al-Dajajah” meaning ‘ Wing of the Hen”.

Cygnus Constellation

There are several legends of Cygnus constellation in the Greek Mythology. Two of these are well known:

1. When Leda is married to Tyndareus King of Sparta, Zeus creeps into her bedroom in the wedding night and seduces her; as a result of the union she gives birth to a son by the name of Pollux of Gemini fame. Hence, the swan is placed in the heavens

2. Orpheus and Arion are two lyre players,; Orpheus was killed while he was in a drunken state. Zeus placed both of them as musicians for eternity in the form of a flying swan.

Cosmics

Deneb does not figure as a birth star, sighted by the Moon or lucky star sighted by other six planets because it is far away from the ecliptical plane. Hence, Deneb can influence your life as a rising star or a culminating star only. However, the effect of the star Deneb is not much pronounced in cases of persons who are born in locations above 30 degree north in latitude or below 30 degree south in latitude. This is because for those who are born in locations above 30 degree north the star Deneb never sets and to those who are born in locations below 30 degree south the star Deneb never rises.

Improving Your Life

Considering the positive and negative cosmics of the star Deneb the following are brief recommendations given for improving your life:

1. You should select blue, white or bright colours for your upper and lower garments

2. Numbers 2, 4 and 5 should do wonders for you

3. You must sleep, keeping your head towards the direction of North – East

4. You must select business or profession that deals with aviation, broadcast, telecast or satellite transmission

5. You can also deal in poultry farming and related areas

6. Dealing in white goods such as fridges and washing machines could lead to prosperity

7. Industries such as Music and films and Leisure & tourism could be more rewarding

8. You should work in pleasant areas and shun areas of rough and tumble

9. Your marriage life soars in the beginning and falls flat in the end; hence you should take care

10. You should use the alphabet “R” in the name; if this is not possible get username, pet name or business name in this manner.

Mebsuta, Star of Love and Vitality

Monday, January 25th, 2010

After a hectic and stressful day in office you are still fresh and willing to drop your colleague miles away from your home. How did you get all love and vitality? One explanation: you are born with the star Mebsuta guiding you. This fascinating star makes an ordinary person a caring and at the same time strong leader. Let me explain about the star Mebsuta in this blog post outlining, its astronomy and Cosmics, so that you can change your lifestyle and embark upon improving your life.

1) Astronomy

The name of the star Mebsuta is derived from Arabic “Al-Mabsuta” meaning “outstretched”. Astronomically known as Epsilon Gemini, Mebsuta is a double star in the Gemini constellation. Located in the ecliptical plane, this star is often passed by the Moon technically known as “occulted”. Other planets whistle by, but occultation is somewhat rare. The last incident of such occultation occurred on August 4, 1976 when Mars passed by Mebsuta.

Location of Mebsuta is interesting; from its position at Right Ascension (Celestial longitude) 6 hours 44 minutes and 33 seconds and Declination (Celestial latitude) of 25 degree 7 minutes and 14 seconds if you draw a line to south-east you will notice a three star combination. The first one being Mebsuta on the top, the second one in middle being Mekbuda (known as Zeta Gemini) and the last one being Kebash (known as Lambda Gemini). Interestingly Mebsuta is just above the ecliptical plane whereas Mekbuda just below the ecliptical line.

Fifth brightest star in the Gemini Constellation, Mebsuta is considered as a double star.The primary star has 3.2 magnitude of brightness and glows in white to yellowish colour. Its companion however is a small 9.5 magnitude blue star. The latter appears to our eyes as close to star Mebsuta though it is about 110 arc seconds away in the deep sky. Star Mebsuta is burning helium at the core like our Sun and losing its mass steadily. As a rare type of super giant, Mebsuta is much cooler than our Sun at 4,360 Kelvin belying its classification as “G8Ib Star” generally given to yellow stars like our Sun whose surface temperature must be above 5000 Calvin. This may be due to its long distance at 900 light years away and its brightness in luminosity of some 7,600 times the Sun and its size of about 150 times the Sun. What a great super giant!

2) Cosmics

2.1) Gemini Constellation

The legend of Gemini constellation is well known. In Greek Mythology, Gemini relates to twin brothers born to one mother and two fathers. Pollux the elder was born to Zeus who creeps in on the wedding night of Leda as a Swan and beds her; Castor was born to Tyndareus, King of Sparta to whom Leda is lawfully wedded. While Pollux is immortal Castor is mortal. Pollux is a pugilist whereas Castor is a horseman. Both are inseparable twins. Castor was fatally wounded in a battle with Idas who is their mutual cousin. Pollux could not console himself with the death of his twin brother and pleads with Zeus to take his life as well. Zeus so impressed by the brotherly love shown by Pollux towards Castor, places them in the sky as immortal stars symbolizing love and affection between two brothers. The star Mebsuta is located on the right knee of Castor. Interestingly, the star Mekbuda mentioned earlier is located on the left knee of Pollux. The ancients used to swear by the name of Gemini when making oaths or transactions.

2.2) Lunar Mansion

Mebsuta is in the sixth Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al- Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al- Hannah (The Mark)”. Those who are born under this lunar mansion have noble virtues; they work hard and never lose their love and vitality. This lunar mansion has a mixed bag; on one hand it makes a person born under it to toil hard ; on the other hand it preserves such persons unscathed from failures and disappointments making them paragons of virtue.

2.3) Improving Your Life

Mebsuta can influence your life as a Birth star, Rising star, Culminating star and Lucky star depending on the sky map cast at the time, date and place of your birth. Considering the positive and negative Cosmics of the star Mebsuta the following are brief recommendations given for improving your life:

1. You should select blue, white, yellow and light colours for your upper garments such as shirts and blazers; choose dark shades for lower garments such as trousers and skirts

2. Numbers 1, 2 and 6 should do wonders for you

3. You must sleep, keeping your head towards the direction of North – West

4. You must select business or profession that does not conflict with nature but helps people to live with nature

5. You can also select trading goods or services across the oceans

6. Industries such as Music and films, Leisure & tourism, Fashion & entertainment could be more rewarding

7. You should be a peace activist and heavily charity minded

8. You are One-marriage person; therefore select your partner wisely

9. You should use the alphabet “K” or “Q” in your name; if this is not possible get username, pet name or business name in this manner

10. On your study or work table keep a model of ship with floating sails. The replica in wood is recommended

11. During leisure, play flute or melodious instrument that uses wind; watch films that depict love and affection or arts and nature

12. Take lot of care on your feet, knee downwards; special attention must be paid to your right knee; any knee injury would be debilitating and fatal too.

Tips for Moonbathing

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

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.

How to Cool down Your Hot Temper?

Friday, December 18th, 2009

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 withHot-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.

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.

Personality: How Your Man Irons his Shirt?

Friday, December 4th, 2009

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.

To Succeed, Focus Yourself

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

To succeed in everything you just need to focus yourself. Lack of focus not only ruins you but ruins everyone connected with you. In modern history a glaring example of a man who lacked focus is George W Bush who caused immense loss to the United States. How can you focus yourself in order to succeed? This blog post enumerates the steps you should take to build your ability to focus yourself. I am also sketching the birth characteristics of those who can focus well. For those who have difficulties in focussing I am penning few cosmic recommendations. After reading this you will be able to improve your focus; harness your cosmics to work for you; enhance your personality; improve your lifestyle; and finally succeed in your life.

How to Focus Yourself

The following are the steps you should adopt to focus yourself in any matter:

1. Vision & Mission: What do you want? Is the question you have to ask yourself first? You may have a task in hand, an assignment to be completed or a piece of work to be done. Whatever it is you should immediately put it in a written or mental statement. You must quickly get at the vision and mission. Your vision is the broader picture while your mission is narrower picture

2. Plan & Schedule: What do you have? How do you move? These are the next two questions you have to ask yourself. The answer has to do with planning and scheduling your activity. You can plan and schedule either mentally or in written form

3. Build Momentum: You build your focus by developing clarity of thought, instilling in you a high degree of self- confidence, obtaining from the environment the right information and supporting yourself with zing and zeal

4. Maintain Focus: You can build momentum easily but you find it difficult to keep it up or take it to the next level. This is where you have to train yourself to maintain focus. There could be several bulls against you when you arrive at this step. Distraction will take your attention elsewhere; disturbance will sap your enthusiasm. In order to avoid both distraction and disturbance you should be prepared to make adjustments on your focus. It is done in two ways. First is to get feelers and feedback from others; secondly you can ask your inner mind to speak about your focus activity. The Americans call this “gut feeling”. Once you have the external and internal info you can quickly adjust your focus once again

5. Glide Smoothly: You have heard about aeroplanes gliding smoothly in the sky. Likewise you must float in the air without unduly straining your focus or allowing any matters to spoil your engines. At the beginning many of you would get into initial failures and start to worry about your inability to focus on anything. This is known as “self-pity”. You must not unduly worry about your inability to cope up with challenges from the environment, a mundane matter such as telephone interruptions to serious matters such as a jealous colleague of yours in the next desk passing nasty comments

6. Enjoy yourself: Even though your task in hand is still to be completed go for your coffee break; get little rest; plant a kiss on the cheeks of your colleague who is celebrating her nineteenth birthday for the nineteenth time.

Some Can Focus Better.

It is true that some people have inert ability to build and maintain focus till they succeed in their tasks. Those who are born under the following birth characteristics possess ability to focus well:

1. Born during the waxing gibbous Moon, that is during 11.1 to 14.8 of the Moon days; they have singular ability to focus well and put matters together easily

2. Born during waning gibbous moon, that is during 16.2 to 22.2 of the Moon days; they have singular ability to focus well and analyse matters easily

3. Born under the Lunar Mansions Al-Sheratain, Al-Simak and Al-Fargh Al-Thani; they have ability to focus on matters involving smart work

4. Born under the Lunar Mansions, Al-Thurayya, Al-Jabbah and Al-Saad Al-Dhabih; they have ability to focus on matters involving hard work

5. Born with earth as predominant element; they have the ability to focus on constructive stream of thoughts; fire element on other hand provides the ability to focus on destructive stream of thoughts

6. Born during the peak days of the Leonid Meteor Showers taking place in the sky. The Leonids are divided into five different streams. Alpha Leonids peak between 24 to 31 January; Delta Leonid peaks on 22 February; Sigma Leonid peaks on 25 March; Beta Leonid peaks between 19 to 21 March; Rho Leonid peaks on 14 & 15 March

7. Born on a dates with 4, 6 and 8 Numbers.

Cosmics to Improve Focus

1. Star of David: Keep an emblem of Star of David on your table and concentrate on it. The Star of David is significant in many aspects. One is the manner in which the Star of David harnesses the six senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch and intelligence. It is recommended that you get the background colour in Blue

2. Black Colour: Black enhances your ability to focus very well. Any black colour Images in picture or small ceramic statuette be kept close on your table for you to look at it should you need it

3. Gems & Crystals: These gems & crystals act as a storage and conveyor medium for cosmic energy. Gems & crystals receive, hold and transmit energy on one hand and heal, supply and uplift internally on the other hand. Furthermore, gems & crystals function as guardians for you against any negative cosmic vibrations arising from the ambience. Though determining the Gems & Crystals for a particular individual requires his birth characteristics, generally the following are recommended: Agate, Emerald, Lapis Lazuli, Opal, Tiger Eye and Topaz.

Check Your Elements by Your Fingers

Monday, November 9th, 2009

You can easily check the state of your elements by examining your five fingers. The elements of Fire, Spirit, Air, Water and Earth find outlets through your fingers. In this blog post, I explain each of the elements and the fingers that represent the elements and their cosmics so that you can improve your lifestyle. I have also included a Grandma’s Test to check whether the element is in working order.

Introduction

Fingers in your right hand give out energy generated from your Base Chakra located in solar plexus just below your navel. Fire, Spirit, Air, Water and Earth are the elements generated from this Chakra. Though the human body as a whole represents the inter-play of these elements we need an easy way to check out the level and efficacy of the body elements. One way is to examine your fingers by caressing, fondling, touching or massaging. For this purpose we always use the right hand because right hand gives out energy to the ambience while the left hand receives energy from the ambience. The fingers and their respective energy are given below:

Thumb Finger: Fire

Index Finger: Spirit

Middle Finger: Air

Ring Finger: Water

Small Finger: Earth

Thumb Finger – Fire Element

Features: Fire is a good servant but a bad master. It intermingles in positive and negative nature; appears in constructive and destructive form; moves in slow or quick space. Fire can fluctuate heavily between the extremes. When fire is high your cylinders are firing faster and when it is down you are rendered in-active. You can have unlimited fire taking you to height of activity or lack of fire in your system jutting you as a burn-out. Fire will keep you warm in cold climate and explode in anger in hot climate.

Cosmics: Fire is all about quality of leadership, action, assertiveness, sexual potency and creativity. Your thumb finger is shortest of all fingers because you need fire in limited quality. In the Roman tradition thumbs-up is to give Yes, Appreciation, Greetings, Permission including freedom to the gladiator. Thumbs-down, on the other hand denotes No, Unhappiness, Anger, Disallowance including the order to kill the gladiator. Fire makes you an extrovert person, passionate in love and sex and a go-getter. On the flip side, fire drives you to lose your temper, puts your marriage on the rock, and in some cases shoves you towards criminality. You are well advised to keep the fire element in median or average point.

Grandma’s Test: Stir brandy with the thumb finger and give it to a women in labour; she would give birth much easily.

Index Finger – Spirit Element

Features: Spirit is not one of the classical elements in Greek tradition. But Hindu and later Arab traditions brought Spirit as an element to be considered. There are two key differences that keep Spirit unique compared with Fire, Air, Water and Earth elements. One is that, Spirit cannot stand on its own. It is often considered as a complement to or limiting factor for the other elements. Secondly, there is no median or average point in the level of spirit as in the case of other elements. Either you are low-spirited or high-spirited.

Cosmics: Zest, zing and kick are aspects that emanate from the Spirit. As you mature in age and experience Spirit gives you courage to sand –up against social ills, or stand-out as person of dignity, or bent religiously.

Grandma’s Test: During tragedy or bereavement, hold both your index fingers in an intertwining lock for few minutes to console and be spirited.

Middle Finger – Air Element

Features: Air like fire soars into extremes; either you are calm or stormy. Air can be bright and light or misty and dark; air can pervade in lower or higher atmosphere. According to Al-Biruni, the famous Arab astronomer air can take the form of wetness or dryness. Air can rejuvenate you or make you feel sick.

Cosmics: Air is about intelligence, analytics and intellectual reasoning, the art of designing, music & entertainment and everything that touches the human endeavour bordering on creativity as well as utility. You feel for others and wish to be part of their happiness and sorrow. At the same time you will not forget to sell your products, services or your importance. Mostly you feel humble, calm and collected. You are always on the side of freedom and humanity. A negative form of air whips you to “put up airs” and behave arrogantly. This element also gives you pretension. So much so that a weak person pretends to be strong; a thin person bloated; a boaster conning you around. A combination of fire with air spells doom in these instances.

Grandma’s Test: When someone is bragging about, tap a wooden table or chair with your middle finger in his presence; he will be brought to his sense.

Ring Finger – Water Element

Features: Water like fire and air goes into extremes; slow gush of water is desirable indeed, but when it turns out as a flood or Tsunami you have to find safe places. Water is on a quantum base. Unless it is in manageable quantum, water can be a disaster. Not only that, water can add value or neutralize the effects of other elements. For example, it nourishes the earth element and puts out the fire, but when it gets entangled with air it can lead to a cyclone. Unlike in the case of fire and air, excess water can remain in your body either as still, deep or stagnant water yielding mainly undesirable effects.

Cosmics: Water gives you emotions, sensitivity, sensuality, intuition and feeling of care and sympathy. You feel for others and go out of the way to help them. Water is about arts, crafts and aesthetic studies. Water can sway others by their speech and actions; that is why most artists and celebrities have water as their predominant element. Water gives you ability to listen to others but takes away the ability to adjust to others. The latter aspect is a key negative that causes lot of misunderstanding in the minds of others. Still, deep or stagnant water remaining within your system transforms you as an isolated person, preferring to stay out of trouble. You will have qualities such as risk aversion and violent mood swings; a party pooper or dreamer out of touch with reality.

Grandma’s Test: Cut an orange into two halves; run through the inner pulp with your ring finger; you will get more juice when you squeeze or put on a juicer.

Small Finger – Earth Element

Features: Earth is the base element; according to scriptures human being is created out of earth. Earth is an all-pervasive element. You build a structure with earth whether you include metal or wood. Earth can extinguish fire, face air with steadfastness and acts against water as bulwark. Unlike in the case of water, excess earth can be cut, quarried, pounded or pulverized for human use. Earth is for both utility and luxury; earth is what you feel safe when you are adrift in water or engulfed in fire or running away from air. Only earth provides you with safety and security, therefore it is considered as the most grounding element.

Cosmics: Earth grants you a sense of hard-work, perseverance, steadfastness and pragmatism. It guides you towards goals and objectives; it encourages you to implement plans to achieve higher lifestyle. Earth also makes you a person of responsibility and authority. You are a hard and smart worker. You can weather any storm, flood or fire. Your staying power is proverbial. But negatives are also too daunting: You are not sensitive to inner feelings. As a workaholic you take little interest in private affairs of your co-workers. You enjoy life and its pleasures and give a hoot to what others do. You are part of officialdom and that is it. Finally when you are to hang your boots there is none to give you a bouquet of flowers.

Grandma’s Test: When mixing jelly, stir with your small finger, it would crystallize better.

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.

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

Antares_M4_APO

http://www.nightsky.at/Photo/Neb/Antares_M4_APO.html

The orange-red glowing super-giant Antares is at the bottom left; M4 globular cluster of stars is at the bottom right . The bright white-blue star Sigma Scorpii is on the top right of the picture.

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.

Find out Your Constellation

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Your ruling constellation is the one where the Moon is located at the time of your birth. This can be easily found by an astronomical sky map at the time of your birth.

What are your Stars?

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Everyone is born under a Star. This star is generally called as “birth star”. The birth star can be one of great significance in the sky bringing you favourable cosmics all the way or just a minor star of little consequence. In the latter case you can check for other stars to guide you. In this blog post I explain how you should look for your stars so that you can improve your lifestyle.

1. Birth Star

Birth Star is found from the location of the Moon in the sky map at the time of your birth. Most of the time, the Moon would be sighting a celestial object, which can be a Star, Planet, Cluster or Nebulae; the last two are referred to as Deep Sky Objects (DSO). For easy convenience we use the word Star, and call this as “Birth Star”. Once you have identified the birth star you can check whether the star is indeed your lucky one bringing you favourable cosmics. You can get a primer on this subject by reading two of my blog posts:

Your Lucky Star – Astronomical Considerations

Your Lucky Star – Cosmic Considerations

If the star identified by you is indeed the lucky one you can stop forthwith and adopt the star as your “Birth Star”. If not proceed to item Two “Lucky Star” below.

2. Lucky Star

You can check the sky map for location of planets other than the Moon in the following order: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus and Mercury. Here there is a restriction; these planets can only sight a fixed star and not other celestial objects such as other planet, cluster or nebulae.

Once a star is identified, you stop forthwith and adopt the star as your “Lucky Star”. If not proceed to item Three “Rising Star” below.

3. Rising Star

You can check the sky map for the star that was rising at the time of your birth. Once a star is identified, you stop forthwith and adopt the star as your “Rising Star”. If not proceed to item Four “Culminating Star”.

4. Culminating Star

You can check the sky map for the star that was culminating at the time of your birth. Culmination means a star crossing your local meridian. Once the culminating star is identified you stop forthwith and adopt the star as your “Culminating Star”.

These are easy steps for you to find out your stars; in case of difficulty you can get in touch with an astronomer in your area to guide you in this regard. If you are born in locations above 33 degree north in latitude or below 33 degree south in latitude, you should check for stars that never rise or set for your locations.

Once you are thorough with this exercise you can even adopt all the four type of stars: Birth Star, Lucky Star, Rising Star and Culminating Star. Until then you satisfy with a single one.

Penis Vagina Compatibility, How to get about?

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Compatibility in sex and marriage rests on several anchors; chief amongst these is Penis Vagina Compatibility, a subject shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding. Though most of you are concerned about this subject, you do not find an open discussion forum for this. This lacuna is now filled with this blog post. Let me explain the subject of Penis Vagina Compatibility in simple manner, so that you can understand the cosmics of Penis and Vagina and improve your lifestyle and perhaps save your marriage from the rocks.

Understanding Penis

Penis is referred to as “Lingam” in Sanskrit “Phallus” in Greek and “Fard” in Arabic. The important analysis of the Penis is to determine its size. The size consists of three sub-topics: Length, Girth (thickness), and Shape. Normally penis length ranges between 3 to 9 inches on erection. The girth (thickness) generally varies between 2.4 to 5.8 inches of circumference. The girth must be measured on the cone, on the base and on the middle of the penis known as stem. Penis comes in different shapes; generally it takes the shapes of Cone, Phallus, Triangle, Rounded, Flat, Lean, Fleshy, Long & thick and Small & thin and so on.

On the basis of the size and cosmics, penis can be divided into six types: Eros, Ares, Apollo, Zeus, Dionysus and Priapus. The first five are named after Greek Gods, who incidentally had fairly small penis compared to their physique. The last type was named after the Roman God of Fertility, who had an unusually longer penis. The penis unlike the vagina can be measured and analyzed for its size, length, girth and shape so that you can determine the type by yourself. In case of any difficulties you can consult an urologist for help and advice. For a fuller description of the penis read my blog post by clicking “Sex and Your Penis

Understanding Vagina

Referred to as “Yoni” in Sanskrit, Vagina is a sacred and secret part of a woman’s body. The type of vagina is determined on the basis of cosmics that cover both body elements and the features surrounding vagina. There are five body elements: Fire, Spirit, Air, Water and Earth. The features cover three aspects: Opening, Passage and the Base. Opening can be soft or tight; Passage can be wide or narrow; Base can be deep or shallow.

On the basis of body elements and vagina features we have twelve types of vagina. These types are named after animals, a reptile and a rodent. The twelve types of vagina are: Elephant, Camel, Horse, Tiger, Ox, Dog, Deer, Cat, Snake, Monkey, Hare and Rat. For a fuller description of the vagina read my blog post by clicking “Types of Yoni for Sex and Marriage

As vagina is hidden and most part of it is inside the body of a woman, it cannot be measured or analyzed. Hence, type of vagina is arrived by an indirect method. There are two methods:

1. Firstly study a woman’s birth characteristics to find out the body elements: Fire, Spirit, Air, Water and Earth so that you can reasonably determine the type of vagina. This is done by understanding the relationship between the Planet Moon with a woman. You have to find out where the Moon was placed in the sky at the time of her 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 her birth for this purpose

2. Secondly study the woman’s physiognomy; this part is known as “Samudhrika Lakshana” in Sanskrit and “Alamth” in Arabic. This study would lead to the understanding of vagina features of Opening, Passage and Base so that you can easily determine the type of vagina. It would be better to study static physiognomy such as the hip and dynamic physiognomy such as the manner of walking. I analyse a full length picture of a woman when she is not personally present.

Compatibility Table

I am suggesting the following compatibility table:

Eros – Snake, Monkey, Hare, Rat

Ares – Tiger, Dog, Cat

Apollo – Horse, Ox, Deer

Zeus – All types

Dionysus- All types except Monkey, Hare and Rat

Priapus- Elephant, Camel, Ox

The Six Chakras in your Body

Monday, October 5th, 2009

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.

Megan Fox, what her Knee reveals?

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

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

Megan Fox, Bio Snippets

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

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

Cosmics of Knee

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

Megan Fox: Picture one

clip_image001

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

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

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

Megan Fox: Picture Two

clip_image002

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

Megan Fox: Picture Three

clip_image003

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

Megan Fox: Picture Four

clip_image004

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

Sex and Your Penis

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

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

Size of Penis

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

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

Length

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

Girth

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

Shape

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

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

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

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

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

Cosmics of Penis

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

Types of Penis

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

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

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

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

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

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

Conserve Cosmic Energy while taking a Shower

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

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

A)  Steps in taking shower or bath

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

B)  Steps in applying soap or shampoo

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

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

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

3. Thereafter apply soap to your left shoulder neck downward

4. Now apply soap to your right shoulder neck downward

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

6. Thereafter apply soap to your left thigh hip downward

7. Now apply soap to your right thigh hip downward

8. Thereafter apply soap to your left leg knee downward

9. Now apply soap to your right leg knee downward

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

C)  Steps in wiping your body dry

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to give Useful Advice?

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

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

1.      Why Nobody listens to Advice?

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

1. Such advice is mostly un-solicited

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2.      The Asker

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

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

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

3.      The Adviser

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

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

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

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

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

4.       The Issue at hand

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

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

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

5.       Listening  

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

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

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

6.       Empathizing

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

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

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

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

7.       Suggesting a Solution plan

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8.       Implementing a Solution

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

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

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

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

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

9.      Follow-up

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

Seven Steps in Developing a Winning Concept

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Improve Your Life with Honey

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

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

What made me to study Honey

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

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

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

Features

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

Cosmics

Food Source

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

Disease Buster

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

Beauty Aid

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

Health & Fitness

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

Mind and Intelligence

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

Sex & Marriage

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

Spirituality

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

Women’s Revenge by Star Algol

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

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

Women are Wronged

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

1. Rape in number one

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

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

4. Men cheating on their wives habitually

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

6. Daughters often neglected by parents

7. Overt and covert discrimination in colleges and in offices

What women are doing?

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

Negative Responses by Women:

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

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

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

Neutral Responses by Women:

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

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

What women can do?

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

The Star Algol

Astronomy:

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

Legend

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

Cosmics

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

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

Cosmic Energy Procedure

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

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

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

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

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

6. Hold your breath for few seconds

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

George Clooney, Marriage and Politics on His Way

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

(Originally written on  Monday March 16, 2009)

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

Lunation Cycle

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

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

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

Ideas

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

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

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

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

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

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

Birth Chart

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

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

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

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

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

Transformation

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

His transformation is indicated in two ways:

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

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

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

Magical Birthday of Mariah Carey

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

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

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

Mariah Carey

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

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

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

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

Mariah Carey

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Birthday March 27

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

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

Cetus Constellation

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

Cosmics

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

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

Lunation Cycle: How the Eight Lunar Phases affect you?

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

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

Lunation Cycle

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

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

Moon Phases

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

1.New Moon

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

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

2.Waxing Crescent

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

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

3.First Quarter

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

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

4.Waxing Gibbous

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

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

5.Full Moon

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

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

6.Waning Gibbous

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

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

7.Last Quarter

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

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

8.Waning Crescent (Balsamic)

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

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

Cosmic Numbers

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

 

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

Number Zero

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

Number One

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

Number Two

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

Number Three

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

Number Four

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

Number Five

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

Number Six

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

Number Seven

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

Number Eight

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

Number Nine

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

Cosmic Colours

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

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

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

1. Red

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

2. Orange

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

3. Yellow

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

4. Green

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

5. Sea-Green

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

6. Turquoise

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

7. Sky-blue

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

8. Blue

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

9. Purple

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

10. Magenta

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

11. Violet

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

12. White

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

Seven Stages of Sleep

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

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

A) Body & Mind

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

1. Stage One: Light Sleep

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

2. Stage Two: Moderate Sleep

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

3. Stage Three: Deep Sleep

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

4. Stage Four: Dream Sleep

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

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

B)  Body, Mind and Soul

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

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

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

5. Stage Five: Mild Journey

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

6. Stage Six: Moderate Journey

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

7. Stage Seven: Deep Journey

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

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