Autumn Equinox 2010

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

 

Autumn Equinox arrives on Thursday, September 23 chiming merry bells. Peace and prosperity prevails in many parts of the Globe; there cannot be a better time for business and economics. For you, it could be honey and milk should you try? Let me discuss Autumn Equinox in terms astronomy and cosmics to help you improving your life.

Astronomy

This year the Autumn Equinox takes place at 03.08 UTC/GMT on Thursday 23 September 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this.

The Sun

On this date the Sun touches the celestial equator at 12.00 in terms of Longitude and 00.00 in terms of Latitude, as it journeys from north to southward direction. Put it the other way, the Sun is on 12 hours in terms of Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) and 00.00 degree in terms of Declination (Celestial Latitude). When the Sun reaches 00.00 latitude it is precisely over-head in equatorial countries. The Autumn Equinox has two aliases: Fall Equinox and September Equinox. The word equinox means equal day and night as most parts of the globe experience almost similar length of night and day time. Autumn is observed in the northern hemisphere while in the southern hemisphere it is Spring. The Autumn Equinox point is now in Virgo constellation. At this time, the Sun is in Virgo constellation along with planets Saturn, Mars and Venus in that order to the east of the Sun. Mercury, on the other hand is located west of the Sun in Leo constellation.

Saturn

Saturn, the coolest planets in the solar system waits patiently for a rendezvous with the Sun, tipped to take place on Friday, October 1. Saturn is located pretty close to the Sun at this time about 38 arc minute to the east of the Sun.

Star Zaniah

In between these two giants come in star Zaniah. Astronomically known as Eta Virginis, this star Zaniah is variably described as blue-white or white or yellow coloured star as the star generates blue, white and yellow streaks of colour. A triple star system with two companions, this star Zaniah is very close to the celestial equator and in the ecliptical path of the Sun. Immediately after the Autumn Equinox, the Sun is expected to whistle-by this star in late September. The name of the star Zaniah in Arabic means an angle, which can be interpreted as a turning for better. Positioned on the left arm of the Virgin, the star Zaniah symbolizes amusement and enjoyment of life and its pleasures and said to herald good omens for the mankind.

Perfect Alignment

I venture to show the perfect alignment of the Sun, Zaniah and Saturn at the time of the Autumn Equinox. Look at the Longitude figures for these celestial bodies below:

The Sun: 12 hour 00 minutes 00 seconds

Star Zaniah: 12 hour 19 minutes 54 seconds

Saturn: 12 hour 38 minutes 18 seconds

You will see that star Zaniah is almost in median distance between the Sun and Saturn.

The Moon

At this moment the Moon goes through the last vestige of the Twenty-sixth Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Al-Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al-Fargh Al-Mukdim” which means “the first sprout” and deemed as fairly an un-auspicious mansion out of the 28 Lunar Mansions.

That said, I examined the location of the Moon at this juncture and found that it is inside the “Circlet of Fish Asterism” in the Pisces constellation. This asterism connects seven stars from the mouth of fish towards its neck. These stars are: Gamma, Beta, Theta, Iota, Lambda, Kappa and 19 Piscium, all of these located in the Pisces constellation. Hence, this location is deemed very auspicious.

Besides, the Moon comes in the line of sight with the star Omega Piscium, located east of the circlet. It is the “star of the spring” and christened as “Vernalis” in Latin. It is technically the last star in the Globe of 24 hours with the highest Right Ascension (RA) of 23 hours 59 minutes 50 seconds, just about 10 seconds to the Vernal Equilibrium of Zero point. Vernalis brings rejuvenation and lights up the theme of a new beginning.

Cosmics

Having analysed the position of the planets and stars, I sketch below positive and negative cosmics of the Autumn Equinox 2010, in order to help you in improving your life:

Positive Cosmics:

Enthusiasm that was hiding away from you comes back; new beginning a kind of rejuvenation holds you closely; in business you are planning and realizing goals; in career you are in for changes in job ambit; in studies a feeling of completion; family life is calmer and quieter now with mild and serious issues dividing the family being resolved or neutralized; entertainment and enjoyment are the two sides of the same coin; trip and outings followed by snoozing away your time in vast, open and pleasant spots; you do not forget the elders and the destitute though; lifestyle changes are for better; sharing and caring mind results in charity and bonhomie which in turn keeps you happy and contended

Negative Cosmics:

Bio-rhythm undergoes swinging changes; unbridled entertainment in sex and fun can be crucially debilitating; hyper-activity is observed in mind and body; blowing-up of emotions after incidence of hyper-enjoyment is tracked; keeping a lid over family disputes is a must; do not get over-enthusiastic and start to squander your money and time.

Full Moon September 2010

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

 

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

Astronomy

1. Full Moon: The Full Moon appears at 09.17 UTC/GMT on Thursday, 23 September 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this time.

2. Location: At this time the Moon is located at:

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 23 hour 55 minutes 24 seconds

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

3. Constellation: Pisces

4. Illumination: 99.98 per centum

5. Apogee: This is the point where the Moon is farthest to the Earth in its revolution. The Moon reaches the apogee point two days earlier on Tuesday, 21 September at 08.03 UTC/GMT. At the time of full moon stage, the Moon is about 251,680 miles away from the earth; consequently the pulling power of the Moon has improved over the apogee position

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

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

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

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

10. Star: “Vernalis” means “Star of the spring” in Latin. Astronomically, Vernalis is called as Omega Piscium; the alphabet Omega is the last one in Greek alphabet and ranks 24. It is technically the last star in the Globe of 24 hours with the highest Right Ascension (RA) of 23 hours 59 minutes 50 seconds, just about 10 seconds to the Vernal Equilibrium of Zero point. Generally Vernalis figures during Vernal Equinox in March, when the Sun comes south of this star. This time it is Autumn Equinox, Lo and Behold we see the Moon is located below this magnificent star. Vernalis is a single, dwarf, sub-giant of yellowish – white hue with moderate brightness at 4.0 magnitude. It belongs to the spectral type of “F5IV “. Located some 106 light years away and with a surface temperature of 6,600 Kelvin it is about 20 times luminous as our Sun and about 1.75 of it size.

Cosmics

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

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

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

Improving Your Life

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

Family

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

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

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

Business

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

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

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

Lifestyle

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

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

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

Kochab, star of Brilliance and Protection

Monday, September 13th, 2010

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

Astronomy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cosmics

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

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

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

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

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

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

Improving Your Life

The following are few recommendations to improve your life:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Albali star brings you un-earned wealth

Friday, September 10th, 2010

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

Astronomy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cosmics

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

Constellation Picture of Aquarius by Urania’s Mirror

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Improving Your Life

The following are few recommendations to improve your life:

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

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

3. You have to drink plenty of water

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

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

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

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

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

New Moon September 2010

Monday, September 6th, 2010

New Moon in September 2010 brings positive feeling and a new beginning geared towards good results. Your career is in good shape; business is doing well; there is peace and prosperity in family life too. In this blog post let me explain the details of the New Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and give you few hints for improving your life.

Astronomy

September New Moon

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

Co-ordinates

The Sun

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

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

The Moon

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

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

Perigee

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

Illumination

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

Constellation

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

Location of Moon

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

Surrounding Planets

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

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

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

Star

No significant star is noted at this time and location

Lunar Mansions

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

Cosmics

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

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

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

Improving Your Life

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

Family

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

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

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

Business

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

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

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

Lifestyle

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

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

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

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

Full Moon August 2010

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

 

Full Moon August 2010 alerts you to the dangers within and without. In this blog post let me explain the details of the Full Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and offer you few tips in improving your life, under the circumstances.

Astronomy

1. Full Moon: The Full Moon appears at 17.05 UTC/GMT on Tuesday, 24 August 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this time.

2. Location: At this time the Moon is located at:

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 22 hour 9 minutes 33 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 7 degree 29 minutes 38 seconds

3. Constellation: Aquarius

4. Illumination: 99.56 per centum

5. Apogee: This is the point where the Moon is farthest to the Earth in its revolution. The Moon reaches the apogee point about 13 hours after the full moon time on August 25 at 5.51 UTC/GMT. At the time of full moon stage, the Moon is about 252,300 miles away from the earth; consequently the pulling power of the moon recedes somewhat

6. Surrounding Planet: Jupiter located in Pisces constellation east of the Moon

7. Lunar Mansions: At the time of Full Moon, it has just arrived at the Twenty-fifth Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Al-Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al-Sad Al-Ahbiyah” which means “the Fortune of the Hidden”. This is one of the 28 lunar mansions and said to be fairly inauspicious

8. Moon Location: At the time of full moon stage the Moon is located on the hip of Aquarius, the Water Carrier

9. Star: At this time the Moon is in direct line of sight with the star Sadalmelik located on the right shoulder of Aquarius, the water carrier. The name of this star is derived from Arabic “Al-Sad Al- Malik” which means “the Fortune of the King”. It is the second brightest star in the Aquarius constellation even though astronomer Bayer classified it as an alpha star. Astronomically called as “Alpha Aquarii, Sadalmelik is a yellow super giant ascribed with “G2 I b” nomenclature. Lying about 760 light years away, this star shines about 3000 times luminous than our Sun. It has several unique qualities:

1. Sadalmelik is located almost on the celestial equator

2. The star varies in brightness but so far no reasons for this variability is established

3. The star is a hybrid one in that it is cooler inside with around 6,000 Kelvin surface temperature but at the same time its surrounding magnetic field is too hot to form coronas

Cosmics

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

Positive Cosmics: Urge to compete and win; Feeling of “ déjà vu” ; putting up lot of airs; prominence along with delight; more love and friendship; Tree and harvest is the underlying theme; thinking global; nagging problems are getting solved

Negative Cosmics: Dry and hot outside but cold and moist inside means you cannot balance internal and external dimensions; imbalance in family and business issues; beware of “ femme fatale”; downswing in family relationship; disharmony among children; body aches and health issues frustrate you; stress on meeting targets, none the less slow and steady wins the race; illusions are all over

Improving Your Life

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

Family

1. You can argue and win; but that leaves matters in bad taste; so avoid contest within family and definitely do not tango with your wife on critical issues

2. Pregnancy and child bearing undergoes severe stress these days; so take care

3. Health and personal hygiene need more attention

Business

1. If you are in politics and administration do not get confused by illusions; any bad step would bring calamity to everyone concerned. If you are in large corporate world you are bound to do well. Airlines and aviation industry looks prettier.

2. Small and Medium businesses should keep their stock level much lower and refrain from re-ordering stocks

3. Functionally departments are not coordinating well during this phase. Marketing and operations might not see eye to eye; it is better to avoid any misunderstanding and over lap of responsibilities

Lifestyle

1. Not a good time for love and marriage or for casual affairs; ironically those who suffer from sexual dysfunction see that their situation is changing for better

2. Take care in dealing with women lest wives and associates spin wool around your eyes

3. Use light yellow colour in your dress; eat more yellow vegetables and fruits; vanilla flavour works well. If you have time for leisure visit farm lands and see grains and trees. Go and stay close to trees with large barks; if you feel okay embrace these barks as your loved ones and relax

4. As regards to Gems & Crystals, I suggest yellow gems such as zircon ,beryl, citrine sapphire, garnet, topaz along with amber that enhance positive cosmics. Women can use more gold and less silver

Moon and Venus for Love and Money

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Strange things can always happen. On Friday 13 August 2010, Moon and Venus come in for a close encounter in the sky. Though the date 13 Friday is generally perceived as unlucky, this alignment of two planets brings love and money during this hot summer. Let me give you few ideas about this rendezvous in this blog.

Astronomy

1. The Moon – Venus encounter takes place on Friday 13 August 2010 at about 12.07 UTC/GMT. You have to trace your local time in reference to this time.

2. At this time Venus is positioned about 4.75 degree north of Moon

3. The Moon is 3.5 days old and is in waxing crescent lunation cycle

4. Both Moon and Venus are in Virgo constellation; they had company in the form of Mars and Saturn which are also located in the same constellation

5. Venus had a conjunction previously with Saturn on 8 August and proposes to meet with Mars on 19 August. Hence, the present getting together of Moon and Venus comes almost in the middle of the two episodes

6. Both Venus and Moon are below the pathway of the Sun called as ecliptical path

7. During August Venus is very bright and is seen as an evening planet in the eastern sky

8. Just north of Venus is the brilliant star Zaniah

Star Zaniah

1. Astronomically known as Eta Virginis, this star Zaniah is variably described as blue-white or white or yellow coloured star. Its spectral classification of “A2” suggests that it is a white coloured one. This confusion is occasioned as many observers on earth find blue, white and yellow streaks of colour emanating from Zaniah. This star is 250 light years away and has a magnitude of 3.9. It is a triple star with two companions

2. Zaniah is wedged between the celestial equator and the ecliptical path of Sun. During September the Sun braces past this star. Few planets come close to it; often times it is moon and on this particular date it is Venus

Cosmics

Interesting facts emerge from this alignment:

1. The name of the star Zaniah in Arabic means an angle, which can be interpreted as a turning for better

2. Positioned on the left arm of the Virgin, the star Zaniah symbolizes amusement and enjoyment of life and its pleasures, Chinese treated the star as a maintainer of Law

3. Both Venus and the Moon are positioned on the left wing that hovers over the left arm of the Virgin

4. During this time, the Moon is in the Lunar Mansion of Al-Simak, one of the favourable stations out of the 28 Arabic lunar mansions

Improving Your Life

Few tips in improving your family, business and lifestyle are listed:

1. This is the time for love and enjoyment; under the sweltering heat you have all the options on the table: you can begin romance, make love or simply flutter in merry thoughts

2. Time for fun and frolic and to have absorbing holidays; If you can get into a roller coaster in an amusement park make a dart towards it

3. Even if your kitty is empty do not worry; the fun and pleasure you have during this phase makes you more energetic to make money later

4. Don bright coloured dress; crimson red is excellent for many; blue and scintillating yellow also make the grade

5. Spend time under sunlight in parks, beaches or any or spend time in open spaces open spaces

6. Illuminate your home with blue or yellow coloured light

7. Make your bed room airy

8. Honey and sparkling wine could add to your pleasure

9. Reduce your travel unless it relates to holidays

Full Moon April 2010

Monday, April 26th, 2010

 

Full Moon April 2010 alerts you the dangers ahead as you could be pushed into a corner by overtaking events. In this blog post let me explain the details of the Full Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and offer you few tips to avoid snarls and in improving your life.

Astronomy

1. Full Moon: The Full Moon appears at 12.19 UTC/GMT on Wednesday, 28 April 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this time.

2. Location: At this time the Moon is located at:

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 14 hour 20 minutes 44 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 18 degree 39 minutes 35 seconds

3. Constellation: Libra Virgo border

4. Illumination: 99.93 per centum

5. Perigee: This is the point where the Moon is closest to the Earth in its revolution. The Moon reached the Perigee point on April 24, at 21.00 UTC/GMT when its distance from the Earth was around 228,131 miles. At the time of Full Moon, the Moon has moved away from the perigee point and placed at the distance about 230, 830 miles away from the earth; consequently the pulling power of the moon has receded somewhat

6. Surrounding Planet: Saturn located too far on the North- West in Virgo constellation

7. Lunar Mansions: At the time of Full Moon, it has almost arrived at the Fifteenth Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Al-Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al-Ghafr”, which means “the Cover”. This is one of the 28 lunar mansions and said to be inauspicious

8. Star: At this time the Moon is in direct line of sight with the star Zubenalgenubi located precisely on the middle of the southern or left tray on the scale of Libra. The name of this star is derived from “Al-Zuban Al- Janubiyyah” which means “ the Southern Claw”. Its alias “ Kiffa Australis” which was taken from Arabic “ Al- Kiffah Al-Janubiyyah” meaning “ the Southern Tray” is most appropriate to this star on the basis of its location. Nonetheless the former name stuck. It is the second brightest star in the Libra constellation even though astronomer Bayer classified it as an alpha star. Astronomically called as “Alpha 2 Librae”, this star is a visual binary with another star called as “Alpha 1 Librae” as its companion. In any case these two stars are far apart and do not resemble with each other. The star Zubenalgenubi is a bright white sub giant with a spectral class of “A3IV”. Zubenalgenubi showers white to yellow light along with brightness on the scale of 2.75 magnitude. Located some 77 light years away it is fairly hot star with a surface heat of 8,500 Kelvin.

Cosmics

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

Positive Cosmics: More emphasis is paced on “take care” mode and “wait and see” attitude; less importance is placed on “go forward” lifestyle. Preservation of existing profit and cash-flow during this phase is the key ingredient for success in your business ventures and in managing family affairs. You have to expect something unusual springing onto your face. Clear understanding of issues and problems could prevail. Standards and ethics play a major part in your life. Overall your health improves

Negative Cosmics: Cold and dry ambience outside could make you work harder; results are not encouraging though. Inter relationship with opposite sex could become weaker, sometimes leading to incriminating evidence. More or less fairly bad time in everything you do as downswings are seen in many of the fields. Never the less exploration to space and inventing new gadgets and gismos could fare better.

Improving Your Life

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

1. Show the amber colour to everyone and everything; that is “wait and see till the traffic light turns green” must be your lifestyle during this fortnight.

2. Take care in dealing with the members of the opposite sex lest you get into embarrassment; you have to take care that you do not leave any incriminating evidence resulting from any misdemeanour

3. Even though you are not going to lose temper and flare up take care of your tongue so that you do not slip somewhere that could cause immeasurable damages to you later on

4. For those in politics: time to put an hold on explosive issues and to build a kind of Chinese wall between you and the several interest and pressure groups around you who prod you to make hasty decisions; for those in higher administration in public and private sectors: time to apply standards and norms and keep your decisions legal and binding on others

5. Fairly good time for marketing and operations in line management and bad time for administration and logistics; avoid much of travel out to long distances

6. Women could lead the way in many areas such as business, administration, family and gender issues. They could take frontal seats in equality of treatment or rising against social and administrative injustice

7. Very bad time for romance or getting married

8. Success is shown for those engaged in trading in infrastructure, hardware and solid items and personality improving sphere

9. Any new partnership must be put on the back burner; another nugget: neither borrower nor lender be

10. Either you choose white or rainbow colours in your attire and dress modestly. Consume more honey and kosher wine to keep your spirits up and running

11. If you have little leisure go to places that are above sea-level such as top of mountains or rocks and relax; a special advice to persons who are chronically ill: go and stay close to trees with large barks; if you feel okay embrace these barks as your loved ones and relax

12. As regards to Gems & Crystals, any white gems are good for this season: Diamond tops the list followed by Sapphire, Opal, Topaz, Goshenite (White Beryl) Rock Crystal (Quartz). For ladies I recommend Moonstone (White tone) and Pearls (silver in body colour at AA Lustre) as most apt.

New Moon April 2010

Monday, April 12th, 2010

New Moon in April 2010 brings a mixed bag of good and bad results; if the business does well family plummets and vice versa. All depend on how you balance both side of the coin. In this blog post let me explain the details of the New Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and give you few hints for improving your life.

April New Moon

The New Moon appears at 12.29 (GMT/UTC) on Wednesday 14 April 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this.

Astronomy

At this time the Sun and the Moon are more than ten arc minutes apart and any chance of a conjunction is averted. The location of the Sun and the Moon is given below:

The Sun

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 1 hour 30 minutes 35 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 9 degree 28 minutes 40 seconds

The Moon

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 1 hour 19 minutes 16 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 13 degree 57minutes 33 seconds

The Moon on April 9 is at apogee (farther from the Earth) at about 251,655 miles away. However, by the time it reaches the New Moon stage it has reduced the distance to about 244,657 miles away from the Earth. Illuminated less than 1 percent, the Moon cannot be seen by us. Glare of the Sun apart, the Moon’s illumination is too insignificant for it to be recognized.

Location of the Moon

At the time of the New Moon stage, the Sun and the Moon are in the Pisces constellation while Venus and Mercury are located father east in the Aries constellation. The Moon is seen sitting askance to an imaginary line drawn from east to west comprising the M 74 Spiral Gallery to the east the Star Alpherg (Eta Piscium) in the middle and the Moon on the west. It sights a brilliant star 72 Piscium located towards north-west from the Moon.

Pisces Constellation

The Pisces constellation is drawn like a pair of two fishes. The Western fish is horizontal and the Northern fish is vertical in shape. A string connects both fish. Mythologically the Pisces is connected to Euphrates River. In Greco Roman tradition, Aphrodite (Venus) who is Goddess of Beauty and Eros (Cupid) who is God of Love turned themselves into a pair of fish to escape from the atrocious Typhon who is pursuing them and swam unto the depths of water. In order to stay united they tied their tails together with a string. The Babylonians considered the fish as the Goddess Atagartis emerging out of a giant egg from the depths of Euphrates. Turkic, Persian and Assyrian mythology have alluded to the Pisces constellation in similar vein. Pisces is significant today because the Vernal Equinox point lies within it.

Star 72 Piscium

A luminous white to yellow giant, the star 72 Piscium is located 178 light years away from the Earth. Visual magnitude of this star is estimated at 5.64. The star 72 Piscium is classified under the spectral type of F4 II-III. This star is one of the minor stars in the Pisces constellation; its location to the right of the tail of the northern fish is very auspicious though.

Lunar Mansions

The New Moon arises in the twenty-eighth Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al-Manzil al- Qamar) of “Al-Batn Al-Hut” (The Belly of the fish). This lunar mansion is the last of the 28 lunar mansions and deemed to shower mixed results. The lunar mansion teaches you to be balanced in attitude and approach. You like a pendulum would swing between: family and business; risk taking and risk aversion; danger and safety; poor in cash-flow or plenty of money coming and so on.

Cosmics

Both the Sun and the Moon traversing through Pisces constellation help bringing you to the much needed equilibrium. In theory, the cosmics of the Sun as a hot and dry planet and the cosmics of the Moon as a cold and moist planet should lead you to safeguard your balanced approach in anything you do. It is all the more important that the Moon herself is posited in the lunar mansion of the belly of the fish cajoling you to be fair and balanced in your dealings. For students and senior citizens above the age of 60 years it is good time for relaxation as well as concentration. Those who suffer from chronic or severe illness could expect much relief and those who brag of their physical fitness could see their expectations dashed.

Improving Your Life

The following hints are sketched for you to go on improving your life under the circumstances:

1. Learn rope walking; this you do it figuratively, that is always keep your balance till the next full moon lest you fall into dangerous alleys

2. Marital happiness and family unity are major strengths you have in this season; if everybody keeps cool the family ship floats well

3. Do you have travel-crazy lifestyle? If yeas this is your hoped for season; go around your environs and see what is happening there. Both domestic and foreign travels are strongly recommended

4. Mixed bag of results could give you either delight or disappointment; whatever the result may, take in your good stride, hope for the best and put your shoulders to the wheel in steering the course of your business/career and family to successful ends

5. Hot and dry moist ambience prevails outside and you have to keep yourself cold and dry inside

6. New ventures or start-ops should not be initiated during this phase; may be you should postpone it for few weeks. Nevertheless, business in farming, trade and light industry could do better

7. Excellent time for sex and marriage

8. The colour spectrum works on graduated scales without any interruption. It ranges from red, orange, yellow, green and blue and in that order as you see in the prism of the sunlight. You can use any of these colours in your dresses. Get any of these colours into your system in the form of fruits and vegetables

9. The effect of the New Moon lasts for a fortnight in general; for the first week it is intense but peters off as it reaches the Full Moon stage some 14.8 days after the New Moon

10. Good time for educational pursuits and seeking medical assistance; bad time for entrusting money or responsibility to your servants or subordinates

11. As regards to Gems & Crystals, the range is wide; you can use any of these with hope and glee:

Red: Coral, Garnet, Jasper

Orange: Chalcedony, Hessonite, Sunstone

Yellow: Amber, Citrine, Yellow Topaz

Green: Emerald, Jadeite, Peridot

Blue: Agate, Lapis Lazuli, Tanzanite

Full Moon March 2010

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Full Moon March 2010 chimes good time to people around the globe. In this blog post let me explain the details of the Full Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and offer you few tips for improving your life.

Astronomy

1. Full Moon: The Full Moon appears at 02.25 UTC/GMT on Tuesday, 30 March 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this time.

2. Location: At the time the Moon is located at:

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 12 hour 22 minutes 37 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 8 degree 17minutes 03 seconds

3. Constellation: Virgo

4. Illumination: 99.91 per centum

5. Perigee: This is the point where the Moon is closest to the Earth in its revolution. The Moon reached the Perigee point two days prior to the full moon day, that is, on March 28, at 04.57 UTC/GMT when its distance from the Earth was around 224,860 miles. At the time of Full Moon, the Moon is moving away from the perigee point; consequently the pulling power, in fact, recedes

6. Surrounding Planet: Saturn on the North- East in Virgo constellation

7. Lunar Mansions: At the time of Full Moon, it is located in the Thirteenth Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Al-Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al-Awwa”, which means “the Barker”. This is one of the 28 lunar mansions and said to be auspicious

8. Galaxy: At this time the Moon is on direct line of sight with Sombrero Galaxy known as M 104 and NGC 4594 on the south- east direction. The Galaxy got its name as it appears similar to sombrero hat popularised by the Mexicans and worn by cowboys or riders on horseback to get sun-shade under its broad brim. The sombrero Galaxy is located at some 50 million light years away and is known for its outline of thick dark rim of bright dust lane and a large central bulge, both have given the galaxy great prominence. Its nucleus is said to contain several hundred globular cluster of stars. Recently, it was found that the galaxy has an extended halo. Its red cosmic colour is eye-catching. Though its brightness is around 8.0 of magnitude to us on Earth, considering its distance it must be truly amazing and bright galaxy of the world. The magnificent view of Sombrero Galaxy is photographed by Wendelstein Observatory in Germany:

Cosmics

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

Positive Cosmics: More emphasis on new beginning, expansion and exploration less importance on reasoning and calculation; profit and cash-flow on the rise; time to allow liberties of mind and flesh so that pent-up emotions get an outlet; loosening of limbs is good; time to spend moments with family and friends amidst the busy schedule; indicates decisions are made with a discerning mind

Negative Cosmics: Heat outside and cold and dry inside could sap your energy to some extent; this is extended ostensibly too many of your actions where you cannot bring equanimity between your internal and external environment. If family is doing well business declines; if business goes up family happiness comes down. Loosening of morals must be checked

Improving Your Life

Few tips for improving your life till the next New Moon are given below:

1. Expand your ideas and horizon and bring more joy to your lifestyle

2. Control your cash-flow but at the same time never hesitate to spend for family lest you mar happiness

3. Buy sombrero hat to have shadow under the sun; in similar vein start building home and new venture to give shelter and enhanced cash flow

4. For those in politics, time to be bold and brush away inhibitions and prejudice; this would silence your doubting friends and scare your berating enemies; for those in higher administration in public and private sectors, time to move with the band wagon and sign up on the dotted lines

5. There cannot be a good time like this for both marketing and operational guys; go gusto

6. Women can celebrate their femininity with vivaciousness and those who have sexual debilitations should opt for phallus worship as done in Greek and Hindu traditions

7. Men must engage more in being together with their loved ones; loners must spend little time surveying pictures of maidens

8. Success is shown for those engaged in agriculture, farming and production industry; service industry takes somewhat of back seat though

9. For business men new partnerships or new ventures in basic industry such as food, clothing and durables are best plays

10. Use lot of red in your system: red colour, red vegetables, fruits with red chunks inside are the best for you

11. Go for an aroma bath once in five days; for men Lemon or Juniper on Sandalwood base is recommended; for ladies Jasmine and Gardenia on Sandalwood base could do well

12. As regards to Gems & Crystals, any red gems are good for this season: Rubellite (red Tourmaline) Pyrope (red Garnet) and Bixbite (red Emerald / red Beryl); others include red Spinel, red Jasper, Ammolite, Fire Agate & Fire Opal; those who can afford can opt for Ruby or Sapphire.

Vernal Equinox 2010

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

 

This year Vernal Equinox arrives on Saturday March 20 chiming with bells of alarm. Dogs of war are chasing some countries; unrest is raising its head elsewhere. For men and women it brings confusion and misjudgement. This blog post explains why you should take care on the basis of astronomy and cosmics relating to the Vernal Equinox.

Astronomy

This year the Vernal Equinox takes place at 17.32 UTC/GMT on Saturday 20 March 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this.

The Sun

On this date the Sun touches the celestial equator at 00.00 degree both in longitude and latitude, as it journeys from south to northward direction. Put it the other way, the Sun is on zero point in terms of Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) and Declination (Celestial Latitude). The word vernal means spring whereas the word equinox means equal day and night as most parts of the globe experience almost similar length of night and day time. Spring is observed in the northern hemisphere while in the southern hemisphere it is fall or autumn. The Vernal Equinox point is now in the Pisces constellation. The Sun is in Pisces constellation along with planets Venus, Mercury and Uranus during this equinox.

The Star: Omega Piscium

On the north of the Sun is the star “Vernalis” whose Latin title means “Star of the spring”. Astronomically, this star is called as Omega Piscium; the alphabet Omega is the 24 th and the last one in Greek alphabet. It is technically the last star in the Globe of 24 hours with the highest Right Ascension (RA) of 23 hours 59 minutes 50 seconds, just about 10 seconds to the Vernal Equilibrium of Zero point of RA. Vernalis is a solitary, dwarf, sub-giant of yellowish – white hue with moderate brightness at 4.0 magnitude. It belongs to the spectral type of “F5IV “. Located some 106 light years away and with a surface temperature of 6,600 Kelvin it is about 20 times luminous as our Sun and about 1.75 of it size. There are three important characteristics of this star:

1. Its location makes Omega Piscium the first star to be seen as one steers toward the east from the famous Circlet of the Fish Asterism in the Pisces constellation

2. It is the last star to be noted before we reach the Vernal Equinox point of zero in the Celestial Longitude and Celestial Latitude

3. Due to the precession of the Earth, by the time of Vernal Equinox of 2013, Omega Piscium would reach the zero pint in Right Ascension and Declination and would be precisely overhead to the Sun; a remarkable event eagerly looked for by all of us.

The Moon

At this moment the Moon has just entered Taurus constellation and has arrived at the third lunar mansion (Arabic Al-Manzil al- Qamar) of “Al-Thurayya” (The Many Little Ones). This lunar mansion is of mixed nature out of the 28 lunar mansions. Whenever the Moon is in this mansion it generates both positive and negative vibrations in equal proportions.

Mars

The way Mars behaves at this time raises eye-brow. Whenever Mars gets beyond the Earth’s tilt it is considered as an “Out of Bound” planet. The current tilt of the Earth is computed as 23 degrees and 29 minutes. Though all six planets theoretically can go out of bound in the celestial latitude known as “ Declination” it is Mars and the Moon that do it often and give rise to tension and head-aches to many.

According to Jeffrey Brock Mars is out of bound from the Earth’s axial degree of 23 degrees and 29 minutes for the period February 13 to March 15. During this period Mars as the God of War reached the maximum of 23 degree and 50 minutes. Please note that March 15 is denoted as “Ides of March”. On the day of Vernal Equinox, Mars has come within the axial degree and is known as “In bound” planet. At this moment its declination is at 8 degree 15 minutes and 29 seconds.

But the danger has not abated yet. Mars is dangerously poised in direct line of sight where it sees to the south west Procyon (Alpha Canis Minoris) also known as the “Lttle Dog” and Sirius (Alpha Canis Majoris) dubbed as the Dog Star. On the opposite side Mars is almost in direct line cutting the star Regulus and the sprawling planet Saturn on the south-east direction.

Accidental war could break out or extreme international tension would prevail for the period from the Vernal Equinox date till about the time of the arrival of New Moon on April 14.

Cosmics

Having analysed the position of the planets the following are highlights of cosmics given under two broad classifications: positive and negative cosmics:

Positive Cosmics: Lot of energy generated within you, even though much of it is dissipated due to extreme hot and dry condition in the ambience. Implementation of plans shall take place during this period. You observe a sense of going ahead and getting things done. You experience increasing tempo within business that commensurate with rising level of business demand; same thing prevails in the family tallying with several family engagements

Negative Cosmics: Fiery nature together with hastiness might mar your progress both in business and family undertakings; Health is medium; stormy mind and restless nature could sap more cosmic energy

Improving Your Life

The following are brief recommendations to help you tide over the situation:

1. Bring more patience into your lifestyle

2. Take it cool; do not let your angst and anger spill over to others; keep yourself out of trouble spots

3. Do lot of breathing exercise; you will be out of breath most of the times

4. Understand how to relax yourself; may be you should take few days off from your busy schedule; may be you should do lot more gardening, mixing earth with water; plant new saplings; uproot dried and dead ones, weeding & spurning etc. For out door activity select visiting mountains or sauntering in fruit orchards or slumbering in woods that bud early flowers

5. Use combination of colours including white, blue, red, yellow along with little black shade in your dress and clothes

6. Take care when you are making judgement, as the chance of negligent judgement is high; a state of confusion, quarrel and disputes is observed; this applies to both in your office and in the home front

7. Busy time for farmers and agriculturists and good time too

8. For those in politics, tendency to take decision on the spur of the moment is shown; for those in higher administration in public and private sectors, avoiding hasty decision is better option

9. Boon time for brokers, intermediaries, agents and those who travel to make a living

10. For women and senior citizen more onion and garlic would be required

11. Relish lot of sweets and sweet fruits; take more radish and eggplant when it comes to vegetables

12. Fruit essence for men is blueberry; for women it is Cherry. Follow the instructions on the bottle; use two to three bottles consecutively

New Moon 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.

March New Moon

The New Moon appears at 21.01 (GMT/UTC on Monday 15 March 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this.

Astronomy

At this time the Sun and the Moon are more than five arc minutes apart and any chance of a conjunction is averted. The location of the Sun and the Moon is given below:

The Sun

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 23 hour 42 minutes 16 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 1 degree 55 minutes 12 seconds

The Moon

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 23 hour 36 minutes 55 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 2 degree 10minutes 34 seconds

The Moon on March 12 is at apogee (farther from the Earth) at about 252,382 miles away. However, by the time it reaches the New Moon stage it has reduced the distance to about 248,897 miles away from the Earth. Illuminated less than 1 percent, the Moon cannot be seen by us. Glare of the Sun apart, the Moon’s illumination is too insignificant for it to be recognized.

Pisces Constellation

At the time of the New Moon stage, there are four planets in the Pisces constellation: The Sun, the Moon Venus and Mercury. The last two planets are to the eastern direction; Venus being much farther from the location of the Moon.

The Pisces constellation is drawn like a pair of two fishes. The Western fish is horizontal and the Northern fish is vertical in shape. A string connects both fish. Mythologically the Pisces is connected to Euphrates River. In Greco Roman tradition, Aphrodite (Venus) who is Goddess of Beauty and Eros (Cupid) who is God of Love turned themselves into a pair of fish to escape from the atrocious Typhon who is pursuing them and swam unto the depths of water. In order to stay united they tied their tails together with a string. The Babylonians considered the fish as the Goddess Atagartis emerging out of a giant egg from the depths of Euphrates. Turkic, Persian and Assyrian mythology have alluded to the Pisces constellation in similar vein. Pisces is significant today because the Vernal Equinox point lies within it pretty close to the star Iota Piscium

Star Iota Piscium

A unique star located on the neck of the western fish, Iota Piscium has a visual magnitude of 4.10 along with a spectral type of “F7V”. It is a white to yellow dwarf main sequence star located about 45 light years away. About 3.3 times luminous than the Sun it is wee bit bigger than the Sun. The star is considered to be unique and enigmatic for the following reasons:

1. It is one of the seven stars that form the Circlet of Fish Asterism. This asterism connects all seven stars from the mouth of fish towards its neck. The stars are: Gamma, Beta, Theta, Iota, Lambda, Kappa and 19 Piscium all in the Western fish within the Pisces constellation

2. Iota Piscium is the star that starts the cord that connects the head of the Western fish to its own tail. Moreover, the cord runs from Iota Piscium to the Northern fish as well

3. Vernal Equinox is located just below the star on the south-easterly direction

4. Lot of expectations about the star Iota Piscium never materialized:

a) It was considered as a variable star but changes of its luminosity is yet to be determined

b) It was considered to have planets rotating around it; nothing was ever found

c) It was considered to have stars in orbit around; still illusionary

Lunar Mansions

The New Moon arises in the twenty-fifth Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al-Manzil al- Qamar) of “Al-Saad Al-Ahbiyah” (The Fortune of the Hidden). This lunar mansion is fairly negative out of 28 lunar mansions, and dashes the hopes of many. Although you see progress in life lot of these could be transient. Cosmic interference in your affairs is heavily pronounced during this cycle of Moon. The severity abates as Sun passes the Vernal Equinox and could disappear completely by the time of Full Moon stage a fortnight later.

Cosmics

Both the Sun and the Moon traversing through Pisces constellation along with Venus and Mercury as partners help bringing you much needed equilibrium. In theory, the cosmics of the Sun as a hot and dry planet and the cosmics of the Moon as a cold and moist planet should lead you to safeguard your balanced approach in anything you do. In practice, it depends on how you face up to the given situations and tone down your expectations. The only area where you can get best results is in your health. If you suffer from chronic or severe illness go full swing and get the best medical treatment. Even for those who have terminal illness, this New Moon could bring hoped for cure at best or mitigation of suffering at worst.

Improving Your Life

1. Like what dig. com says “Patience, my friend, is a good virtue”

2. Avoid family disunity or business break-downs; do not let one spouse bringing the roof down

3. Travel-crazy lifestyle helps if you are going abroad; even for domestic travel it does help taking out the boredom away and keep you away from trouble spots

4. Bagful of expectations need to be whetted during the course of this New Moon; do not get disappointed when hoped for results are not forthcoming

5. Hot and dry climate prevails outside and you have to cool yourself much more

6. Yellow with black border in upper garments is the colour combination recommended for many; women should relish dresses that fuses both these colour shades in top and bottom dresses

7. Modest lifestyle is recommended so as to uplift the sense of patience and neutralize the angst and anger within you

8. Get more of yellow colour into your system: eat more yellow vegetables; savour fruits that are yellowish; sweets and pudding in yellow are ok

9. The effect of the New Moon lasts for a fortnight in general; for the first week it is intense but will peter off as it reaches the Full Moon stage some 14.8 days after the New Moon

10. Good time for educational pursuits and seeking medical assistance; not ideal to start romance or getting married

11. As regards to Gems & Crystals, yellow gems are good for this season: Yellow sapphire, Yellow topaz, Lemon topaz, Citrine, Garnet and Beryl could do fine. Beautiful Agate, Black Onyx, Black Spinel and Rainbow Obsidian are emphasised for those who like black hue.

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.

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.

Choosing the Right Time

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

When you succeed, you say it is a good time. But when you fail you say you are dogged by bad time. So time is always in essence for you and for the entire world. What about choosing the right time where you can neutralize the chances of failure and enhance the degree of success. This blog post attempts to explain freedom and capacity in choosing time and recommends cosmic time as a method of choice.

Time is in essence is a basic concept and to great extent a rule of law followed by every body. You will observe that for every activity the start time is specified. For several others both start and end time is also stipulated. All of you are used to these parameters. Rarely you criticize these parameters let alone violate any. So much so your lives are inter- wined with the concept called time. Apart from social norms that govern the time element there are religious commands that mandate that you follow the right time in activities such as prayer or penitence. When you subject any activity in which you are concerned with, you see two aspects dangling over it: freedom to choose the time and capacity to fix the time.

Freedom to Choose the Time

The degree of freedom to choose the time differs, depending on the type of activities you undertake. Broadly, there are three categories:

No Autonomy: Under this category, you have no freedom to choose the time at all. For example, the time when your train comes into your platform at the railway station

Semi Autonomy: Under this category, you have some freedom; for example, the lunch time you take. Here, you can choose the lunch time of half to one hour at anytime between 12.00 Noon till 2.00 p.m.

Full Autonomy: Under this category, you have complete freedom. For example, the time you wish to go to bed.

Capacity to Fix the Time

Concomitant to freedom aspect, capacity to fix the right time varies depending on the nature of the activity you undertake. Broadly, there are three categories:

Emergency : On and off you are placed in an emergency situation where you have no capacity to fix the time at all. A fire in your office is an apt example

Routine : As the name implies these activities are mundane and of routine nature set with a uniform pattern. However, you have capacity to amend or alter as these activities progress in a typical office day. For example, your appointment diary is amended to bring a priority meeting forward

Discretionary : Under this category you have full capacity to fix the time; most activities of discretionary nature relate to your family and business life. For example, the time to embark on a new venture in your business life.

As you see, it is in the area of discretionary matters you can combine full capacity with full autonomy. In order to fix the time you generally tend to use either of the two methods:

1. Convenience: Your convenience decides

2. Gut Feeling: Your gut feeling says so

When the result comes you get into the situation described at the beginning of the blog post; either you succeed and say it is a good time or fail and say it is a bad time. There is no such thing as good time or bad time; there is only one thing you need to be concerned with, that is choosing the right time. If you choose the right then you can neutralize the chances of failure and enhance the degree of success. This can be done easily by finding the cosmic time for you.

Cosmic Time

To understand cosmic time you have to look at the sky. Each moment there is a star rising, a star culminating over-head or a star setting. The Sun moves from one constellation to another in its annual journey traversing about 13 constellations and not 12 as erroneously believed. The Moon in its rotation around the Earth parks in 28 Lunar Mansions in a typical month. The other five planets, namely Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury also move in their respective orbits. You should choose the right time by looking at the stars in the sky rather than depending on your convenience or gut feeling.

New Moon 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.

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.

Turkey Israel Relationship Changing from Strategic to Tactical

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Recent spat by Israel on the Turkish ambassador brought in its wake a diplomatic skirmish between the two countries resulting in a rare Israeli apology. Will the relationship between the two erstwhile partners in the volatile region of Middle-East improve? The question is in the minds of many political analysts. I examined the state of play between Turkey and Israel by watching the recent Solar Eclipse. In this bog post, I write about the Solar Eclipse in terms of Astronomy and Cosmics and pen my interpretation in point form.

Brief

Turkey and Israel were good buddies throughout the establishment of Israel in 1947. In fact, Turkey was one of the few countries that gave diplomatic recognition to the nascent country. Both Turkey and Israel moulded a political and economic relationship that stood intact during Israel’s war with Arab countries. Later in the nineties, the relationship took the shape of strategic partnership with the military dimension added to political and economic spheres. One reason for this is the similar outlook both countries had in terms of deeply hostile relationship with their respective neighbours. Turkey had to grapple with Armenia, Syria, Iran, the rebellious Kurds and ever nagging Cyprus. Israel continued to be beset with problems with the Arab neighbours and an intractable Palestinian crisis.

The turning point came in December 2008 when Israel sent its troops to Gaza on mission codenamed, “Operation Cast Lead” which resulted in the death of Palestinians in thousands. The world felt aghast, so did Turkey whose Premier Recep Erdogan was furious as he was in the midst of peacemaking between Israel and Syria. From this moment things went bad for the partnership. Recep Erdogan upped his antipathy in statements and a walk out from Davos conference in January 2009 after delivering a stinging criticism on Shimon Peres, Israeli President was a litmus test. The recent diplomatic ridicule by the Deputy Foreign Minister over the Turkish ambassador Ogug Celikkol made things worse. A Turkish ultimatum brought Israel to remorse followed by an apology but not to any sense of pragmatism though. Last Sunday, Ehud Barak visited Turkey on a previously scheduled trip but with an added emphasis on mending ties. He was partially successful. He had long and fruitful meetings with Turkish Defence Minister Vecdi Gonul and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. However, the plums he looked for in meeting Prime Minister Recep Erdogan or President Abdullah Gul or Defence Chief of Staff Ilker Basbug evaded him.

Solar Eclipse

Astronomy

The solar Eclipse that took place on Friday January 15, 2010 was the longest annular and partial one lasting about 11 minutes and 8 seconds. It is significant because it is the longest for the millennium as the next longest one is not due until 3043 A.D. This particular eclipse is known as Saros 141 Series. The series began in May 1,613 A.D. It repeats every 18 years and the one that occurred on Friday is 23 rd out of 70 such eclipses in the Saros 141 Series. When this eclipse took place the Sun was covered by the moon leaving the outer ring of the Sun glowing in muted brightness. Almost half of the Globe came under darkness or partial darkness, especially at the height of eclipse at 7.47 GMT/UT when the shadow cast by the Moon was seen on the earth for an extent of 225 miles. Beginning from Chad in Africa the eclipse spread to the Sea of China in the East. There are few significant pointers in this Eclipse.

1. The Eclipse was at the Moon’s Ascending Node

2. The Moon was very farthest from the Earth called apogee at some 255,000 miles away

3. At the height of the Eclipse at 7.47 GMT/UT, the position of the Planets Sun and Moon are given below:

The Sun

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 19 hour 47 minutes 58 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) 21 degree 7 minutes 21 seconds

The Moon

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 19 hour 47 minutes 48 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) 21 degree 6 minutes 22 seconds

4. There are no significant stars in the area where the eclipse took place

5. To the south east of the location there are two celestial bodies; Venus at 19 hour and 52 minutes and far away M 75 Globular cluster at 20 hour and 6 minutes.

Cosmics

1. The Sun, the Moon, Venus and the M 75 Globular are in the Sagittarius constellation whose occult ownership is ascribed to Jupiter. Sagittarius constellation represents the Centaur (a figure of half –horse and half-man in Greek mythology). Ptolemy originally drew this figure and is followed ever since. This constellation is full of bright stars and a wealth of deep sky objects such as clusters and nebulae. Additionally, the constellation heralds boon for trade and economy

2. Venus personifies Wealth & prosperity, Knowledge & arts, Happiness & enjoyment, Luxury & comfort, Sensuality & civility, Beauty and brains etc

3. M75 Globular is a vast cluster of almost 130 light years in diameter, standing some 67,500 light years away from the earth with a visual magnitude of 8.5. This cluster is about 180,000 times brighter than the Sun. This is a massive cluster, very remote portraying military and political fame and action.

4. The Moon is located at Lunar Mansion 22 of Al-Sad Al- Dhabih (The fortune of the slayer). This Lunar Mansion leads to political manipulation or political capitulation in the external theatre. It is also bad for partnership in economy or of military nature between nations. But the Lunar Mansion is good for garnering internal political power.

Interpretation

1. Turkey Israel relationship dips from one of strategic partnership to that of managing tactical issues. Turkey goes on its declared policy of “zero problems with the neighbours” and would not require any partnership with Israel on strategic level. By the same token, Israel continues to rely on military as a sole buttress to keep the country safe from the wrath of Arab neighbours and would not countenance a critical ally in the form of peace loving and non-belligerent Turkey

2. Turkish economy expands with peace dividends and the need to rely on Israel as “partner in the same boat” vanishes into thin air. Israeli economy also expands in military related arms and technology but would not be sufficient to keep Turkey aligned to it. Earlier Israel was very dismissive of the political actors in Turkey often relying on the military actors in Turkey. Now this takes a 360 degree turn for which Israel is ill-prepared

3. Both countries would make grandiose statements in public regarding improving relationship and putting the past behind, but would continue to work in the opposite direction privately

4. Turkey becomes a key player in international and regional diplomacy whereas Israel languishes in isolation in the region and much of the globe

5. Turkey is wooed by countries ranging widely such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia who are competing for leadership of Arab league and Iran and Sudan who are struggling to stay put amidst the global outburst against them. Israel on the other hand struggles to make it relevant to any of these countries in peace and prosperity

6. Both countries would continue to bash each other via the electronic and print media as a state policy to satisfy their respective electorates

7. A lop-sided equation has come into force: Turkey needs Israel less and Israel needs Turkey more

8. Outside the equation, Israel is losing clout in the United States while Turkey is moving more towards Russia

9. The final nail on the coffin is struck when Israel invades either Gaza or Lebanon in the near future out of sheer frustration.

Dubai Bounces Back in Business

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

The recent crisis in Dubai was somewhat over-blown; Dubai has every potential to weather the financial storm and bounce back to its former glory in business. This was revealed during the cast of the Heavens when the Blue Moon was shining as the New Year dawned. This blog post charts the day of the blue moon in December 2009 and pens the cosmic forecast for Dubai.

Introduction

Dubai, the second largest out of the seven emirates in UAE, has gone through baptism of fire recently when a debt crisis began to roast it, against the background of the baking hot air of the desert. In late November 2009 the Dubai World the Government owned Realty Company sought to postpone scheduled instalment payment on its U S Dollars 60 Billions or so debt and to re-negotiate the maturity profile. Newswires picked up this message and made it an over-blown financial crisis that saw in its wake downgrading of not only the debt instruments issued by Dubai World but others connected with banking, reality and transportation sectors in Dubai. Emaar Properties, Dubai Ports World, Dubai Electricity & Water Authority are few of the companies whose credit ratings were hunkered down to below investment grades. All these could have been expected, because the moratorium requested for the debt of the company Dubai World amounts to about three forth of the Government debt. Hence, the notion that Dubai is in trouble could easily feed into the minds of investors in particular and others in general.

In order to study the future prospects of Dubai, I looked at the Heavens on December 31, 2009 as the New Year is set to dawn and the full moon arose. Over the eastern sky of Dubai at 11.13. p.m. Dubai Standard Time, the full Moon was majestic in its light and brightness. As a blue moon (the second full moon in December 2009) its glow is fascinatingly beautiful. The Moon was almost very closest to earth, which we call Perigee and its illumination topped at 99.99%. Furthermore, the location of the Moon in the sky in Gemini constellation and the fact that afterwards the Moon was to go through a partial lunar eclipse made me to look at this phenomenon intently.

Location of the Full Moon

At this time the Moon was located at Right Ascension (celestial longitude) of 6 hours 42 minutes and 28 seconds and at Declination (celestial latitude) of 24 degree 6 minutes 18 seconds. The moon was also above ecliptic plane a line in which the Sun travels in the celestial sphere. When a planet moves beyond the ecliptical line it is called out of bound. Moreover, the Moon partially covered (called occulted) the shining Star Mebsuta at this time. To be precise Mebsuta is located at Right Ascension 6 hours 44 minutes and 33 seconds and Declination 25 degree 7 minutes and 14 seconds. Though in terms of distance Mebsuta is about 2 arc minutes away, for people on the earth it is different as we miss the light of Mebsuta during this time. Fascinatingly, The Moon was placed on a safety net in the sky chart. There are four stars forming the Arabic Letter “Lam” (English Alphabet “L”) symbolizing a baby cot. These stars are Capella on the north , Al-Betelgeuse on the south, Al-Debaran towards west and Procyon to the east.

Star Mebsuta

The name of the star Mebsuta is derived from Arabic “Al-Mabsuta” meaning “outstretched”. Astronomically known as Epsilon Gemini, Mebsuta is a double star in the Gemini constellation. The primary star has 3.2 magnitude of brightness and glows in white and yellowish colour. Its companion, however is a small 9.5 magnitude blue star. As a rare type of super giant Mebsuta is much cooler than our sun at 4,360 Kelvin. Located 900 light years away and shining some 7,600 times luminous than the Sun it must be about 150 times the size of the Sun. Indeed it is a great super giant. Mebsuta is burning helium at the core like our Sun and losing its mass steadily. Though located close to the ecliptical plane, this star is rarely occulted by planets other than the Moon. The last incident of such occultation occurred on August 4, 1976 when Mars passed by Mebsuta.

Lunar Mansion

When Full Moon arose in Dubai, it was in the Sixth Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al- Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al- Hannah (The Mark). This Lunar Mansion is relevant for those who are born to royal lineage or to noble genes. It has a mixed bag; on one hand it makes the king to go through financial woes ; on the other hand it will preserve the dignity of the kingdom. Programmes, business ventures and any others initiated during this time would give more than satisfactory results.

Dubai Cosmic Forecast

The location of the Moon and the Star Mebsuta together give positive and negative cosmics. I elaborate the cosmic forecast of this phenomenon in relation to Dubai as follows:

1. Dubai changes gear: From top gear Dubai goes on low gear to wade through the muddy water of debt crisis. Once it is out of this crisis it would be on cruise gear

2. Changing Direction: Dubai undergoes change in focus and approach from a city state mentality to a country state mentality

3. Dubai must develop in the lines of a six pointed star, known as Star of David. In addition to Realty and Trade sectors, other lines of economic activities could develop. Being outstretched in one or two areas is too risky and this fact is now clearly understood

4. The year 2010 marks fire-fighting and at the same time setting in motion future oriented programmes. The knee jerk response by the international financial community and the aftermath portray the fire fighting scene, while the recent opening of the “Burj Khalifa” the World’s Tallest Tower with 160 floors and 2,716 feet in height is an harbinger to the futuristic programmes

5. Dubai continues to be the standard bearer as a financial centre and as a trade centre. The role model it seeks incorporates features of Singapore and Tokyo

6. Dubai has not reached its potential yet. It has notched about 25 %. So far. Hence the remaining 75 % of growth potential need to be scaled by the emirate

7. Dubai needs to go for high profile marketing with strategic depth

8. Safety net in and around Dubai would be almost intact

9. In summary, Dubai Bounces Back in Business in matter of time.

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.

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.

Cosmic Forecast: Iran Turning West

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

What is expected from Iran for the last three decades is going to happen; Iran is turning towards the West. The cosmic forecast of Iran indicates a big turning point that will change the entire area of Geopolitics. Most countries including United States would normalize relationship with Iran and stand to gain. Some countries headed by Germany would go down as losers. Let me explain in this blog post the Cosmic Forecast of Iran in terms of Astronomy, Cosmics and the list of Gainers and Losers.

Astronomy

I observed the sky of Tehran, Iran as the New Moon began its monthly journey on the Sunday 18 October, 2009 at 9.03 a.m. The Eastern Sky had five planets in the raw: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Saturn. All these Planets are posited in the Virgo Constellation at this time. Incidentally, Al-Biruni, the famous Arab Astronomer identified major part of Persia (Now Iran) coming under the Virgo Constellation. The astro – position of the planets this time are given below:

Planetary Position

          Planet          Right Ascension       Declination

                                  hh:mm:ss               dd:mm:ss

          The Sun           13: 32: 16                9: 38: 28 South

          The Moon       13: 23: 39              14: 30: 11 South

          Mercury          12: 49: 18                3: 14: 07 South

          Venus              12: 17: 02                0: 10: 32 South

          Saturn             11: 58: 26                2: 21: 52 North

Stars & Cosmics

1 The Star Spica (Alpha Virginis) the brightest star in the Virgo constellation was flanked by both the Sun and the Moon; Sun sights it on the south-west whereas the Moon sees it on the North. A blue binary star of 0.95 magnitude with a spectral class of B1 located 262 light years away, Spica is positioned on the wheat sheaf in the left hand of the ever green Virgin. This star is all about setting standards and maintaining discipline; it is about ethics and planned efforts; it is about norms and practices

2. The star Poorima (Gamma Virginis) a white colour star of 3.40 magnitude with a spectral class of F0 located 39 light years away is positioned on the waist of the ever green Virgin. Al-Biruni called it as a “ Turn”. This star signifies an about turn from the evil or dangerous path to good and beneficial path. The Planet Mercury sights this star on the north-west direction

3. The star Zaniah (Eta Virginis) a yellow star of 3.85 magnitude with a spectral class of A2 located 250 light years away is positioned on the left arm of the Virgin. It symbolizes amusement and enjoyment of life and its pleasures; Chinese treated the star as maintainer of Law. The Planet Venus sights this star on the south-east direction

4. The star Zavijaya (Beta Virginis ) a pale yellow star of 3.61 visual magnitude with a spectral class of F9 located 36 light years away is positioned on the top of the winged right shoulder of the ever green Virgin. It signifies the choice of a right teacher or master to lead one into the right path. The Planet Saturn sights this star on south-west direction.

Lunar Mansion & Cosmics

The new moon starts its journey from the Fourteenth Arabic Lunar Mansion (Manzil) of “Al-Simak” which means “Un-armed”.

This Manzil denotes the western direction, equal opportunity and a win-win situation. It beams powerful light onto the hitherto dark situation. Moreover, the Manzil indicates prudence, care and equanimity. As the name suggests there will be a farewell to arms. Iran becomes an accepted nuclear power, regional power and an anchor for peace and stability in the global scene.

Gainers

The Cosmic Forecast is set below; please note that, it does not take part overnight but over a period of time.

United States normalizes its relation with Iran, supplies nuclear fuel for its reactors, builds reactors and refineries and undertakes infra structure projects such as roads, railway, shipyards etc. USA supplies arms and advanced technology and becomes number one trading partner

Turkey follows suit in similar manner with emphasis on joint collaboration in infra-structure, buildings and military hardware along with commodity trading. It also becomes the key conduit for Iran’s gas and crude oil in several pipeline projects

France jumps the gun and offers nuclear reactors, advanced planes and radars etc. France also undertakes cultural, literary and sports training not to forget film, fashion and arts

Russia doubles its efforts to ink more deals on Oil & Gas. Russia is bent on “ Pipelinistan “ a concept linking Turkey, Iran, Central Asian Countries and Russia to join together for the supply of the region’s liquid assets to Far –East, Eastern- Europe , Caucasus and to Western – Europe and continue to close deals for its companies like “Gasprom”. Russia also supplies advanced war planes and military assets to establish Iran as a strong power in Persian Gulf. More than that Russia completes “ Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant“ and comes with couple more to generate much needed electricity

Syria goes deeper as the most trusted and tested partner and binds itself in cooperation in every economic and social activities

Brazil and Venezuela are cast in the role of making Iran a great trading partner for the Latin America. Bolivia and Nicaragua also joins the bandwagon

China gets more oil and goes up-beat in selling all the junk it has which is not wanted by the Americans now. In any case China always believes in soft power

Other gainers include Italy, Spain, India, Indonesia, Scandinavian and almost the entire Non-aligned group of countries.

Losers

Germany, the fellow Aryan Country gets the top slot amongst the losers. It sees its trade volume and share in the Iran cake dwindling in staggering speed

Israel is dubbed as the second best loser; neither it has nuclear one-manship in the Middle East nor it has monopoly clout to influence the future trends in the region

Britain goes to dog house be it David Cameron or Gordon Brown in the helms

Other laggards include most of the Arab countries except for Iraq, Lebanon and the Palestine.
