First Descending Lunar Node, October 2010

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

The Moon travels around the Earth; in doing so, she also intersects with the ecliptical path of the Sun. This intersection is known as Node. There are two types of lunar nodes: ascending and descending. Each node presents opportunities and sometimes threats to you.

During October we have two descending lunar nodes and one ascending lunar node. This blog post dovetails astronomy and cosmics in respect of the first descending lunar node taking place in October 2010 and gives you few tips for improving your life. For a general introduction of the lunar nodes please read the link on “Lunar Nodes April 2010

First Descending Node, October 2010

Astronomy

Date: 1 October 2010

Time: UTC/GMT 02.42

Moon Age: 22.6 days

Lunation Cycle: Last Quarter

Constellation: Gemini

Star: The Moon comes in direct line of sight with star Mebsuta whose Arabic name is derived from “Al-Mabsutah” meaning “outstretched”. Astronomically known as Epsilon Geminorium, Mebsuta is a double star in the Gemini constellation. Located on the ecliptical plane, this star is often passed by the Moon. It is the fifth brightest star in the Gemini Constellation. Mebsuta is located on the right knee of the mortal and northern twin Castor. It is a fourth magnitude super giant giving out yellow rays; whereas its companion gives out orange hue.

Cosmics

During this descending node the Moon intersects the ecliptical path of the Sun precisely on the left calf muscle of Castor who is mortal and the northern twin. It signifies a time for cool and calculated moves. Choice in business and family are to be made rationally sans any emotion even though some of these decisions are unpalatable at the first sight.

Cosmic Advice

A check list of advice is appended below to help improving your life, under these circumstances:

1. It is time to change direction and subject your business life into objective scrutiny; time to plan new ventures or get into new partnership in career and business

2. In similar fashion, you have to make some hard choice regarding, home, spouse and children and plan your future

3. Those in the middle or higher rungs in companies have tendency to perform better in this season

4. In the home front it is time to bounce back into action; especially for those who have suffered depression, fatigue or emotional downswings

5. Industries such as Music and films, Leisure & tourism, Fashion & entertainment are poised to post good results

6. Domestically, sex and marriage issues that remained outstanding must be attended quickly without un-due postponement

7. As the ambience is cold and dry you must keep your house or office hot and moist

8. The colour choice can range between crimson red to sea blue for shirts and skirts; blue –red combination works in uplifting your cosmics

9. Take lot of care of your feet, knee downwards; special attention must be paid to your left foot; any injury would have lasting effects even though not fatal

10. Risks are shown in swimming and aqua sports; under-water swimming must be avoided

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

12. Those that have criminal tendency must change their habits and lifestyle, lest they are caught by authorities and incarcerated.

Ascending Lunar Node, September 2010

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

 

When the Moon intersects with the ecliptical path of the Sun it results in a situation called lunar node. There are two types of lunar nodes: ascending and descending. Each node presents opportunities and perhaps threats to you. This blog post details astronomy and cosmics relating to the ascending lunar node taking place in September 2010 and gives you few tips in improving your life.

For a general introduction of the lunar nodes please read the link on “Lunar Nodes April 2010

Ascending Lunar Node September 2010

Astronomy

Date: 16 September 2010

Time: 13.56 UTC/GMT

Moon Age: 8 days

Lunation Cycle: First Quarter

Constellation: Sagittarius

Cosmics

The Moon intersects the ecliptical path of the Sun precisely on the middle of the upper string of the bow the Archer holds. At this time the Moon is travelling towards the north from the south in the celestial sphere. From this location we observe three heavenly bodies: Star Polis (Mu Sagittarii) onto the north-west; Star Kaus Borealis (Lambda Sagittarii) to the south-west; star Nunki (Sigma Sagittarii) onto the south-east. Taking the middle course in between these three stars, the Moon does something spectacular. She occults M 22 Globular cluster popularly known as “Facies”.

Facies or M 22 Globular

Facies or M 22 Globular has been well –described in my earlier post. You can read by linking “Ascending Lunar Node, August 2010”. This globular cluster is the third luminous in the known sky and has within it a huge nursery of 70,000 baby stars. Located just a degree below the ecliptical path M 22 globular often gets occults (covered) by planets including the Sun and the Moon.

Improving your life

1. Use green profusely and red sparingly in dresses and appropriately during colour bath

2. Unless you are susceptible to chill, make merry out of the welcome rain that sprinkles much needed water onto your body. Watching rain drops falling or walking under a drizzle helps you immensely. Alternatively you can spend more time in a bath tub or in a pool

3. Stay in moist and cold ambience to rejuvenate your system and to re-build energy levels

4. Keep your physique in trim condition, elderly must take extra care in keeping fit

5. Follow Lord Buddha and keep to middle path during this season especially in family affairs

6. Businessmen demonstrate high degree of determination paving way in concluding new deals or striking new partnerships

7. Women play leading role during this time phase; in families there is reconciliation seen with erstwhile opponents, especially daughters and spouses; Similar trend continues in business where women cause new beginning or bring new customers or business relationships. This applies to business where the owners or leading shareholders are men. Contrarily, women dominated business goes southwardly

8. Good time to commence new constructions or additional wings in respect of family abodes and business premises

9. Bad time for sex & marriage; mitigating factor is new romance flowers well during this season

10. If you are low in spirits, I advise you to visit sea-shore and watch the waves lashing; washing your feet by the froth relieves stress. Patients suffering from hyper tension can try this out.

Descending Lunar Node, September 2010

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Lunar nodes arise when the path of the Moon intersects with the ecliptical path of the Sun. There are two types of lunar nodes: ascending and descending. Each node presents opportunities and perhaps threats to you. This blog post details astronomy and cosmics relating to the descending lunar node taking place in September 2010 and gives you few tips for improving your life.

For a general introduction of the lunar nodes please read the link on “Lunar Nodes April 2010

Descending Node, August 2010

Astronomy

Date: 4 September 2010

Time: UTC/GMT 0.16

Moon Age: 25.0 days

Lunation Cycle: Last Quarter

Constellation: Gemini

Star: The Moon sights star Alzirr (Xi Gemini), a white sub-giant located in the Gemini constellation, precisely on the upper right foot of the eastern twin Pollux. Generally warriors of ancient times wore leather shoes with a knot or button over the upper foot. This might have made Al-Biruni, the Persian Astronomer to call this star “Alzirr” meaning “button”. Astronomers on the other hand call this star as “Xi Geminorium” This star Alzirr is a solo star with a spectral type of “F5IV” with visual brightness of 3.4 magnitude. It is about 57 light years away and 20 times luminous than our Sun. Alzirr is important because it is the last bright star in the easternmost part of the Gemini constellation.

Cosmics

During this descending node the Moon intersects the ecliptical path of the Sun precisely in the gap between the twins Castor and Pollux who are often depicted as seated comfortably. It signifies a relaxed time in between stress and work. No more stress in the business life; by the same token no more tension in the family life. It is a welcome change for everyone who works hard in their career or business and at the same time takes care of his loved ones.

Improving your life

1. Use white, blue and red colour profusely in dresses and appropriately during colour bath

2. As the ambience is hot and dry you must keep your house or office cold and moist

3. Drink plenty of water and fruit juices

4. Go moderate in eating vegetables but feast in delicacies of meat and fish

5. The medical profession must be on the watch as the chance of negligence is high followed by claims for compensation. On the corollary chronically ill patients should not give up taking medicine as the chance of major failure is forecast

6. Good time to buy gems & crystals along with gold jewellery for women

7. Real estate picks up and those who invest in this sector could be better off

8. Button-up and be ready for travel or elevation in your career

9. Soccer celebrities playing in league matches in Europe or elsewhere get better offers for changing teams, though they still run the risk of damaging their ankles specially the right ones

10. Lifestyle changes are forecast heavily for celebrities and moderately for politicians.

Ascending Lunar Node, August 2010

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

 

You know lunar nodes arise when the path of the Moon intersects with the ecliptical path of the Sun. There are two types of lunar nodes: ascending and descending. Each node presents opportunities and perhaps threats to you. This blog post details astronomy and cosmics relating to the ascending lunar node taking place in August 2010 and gives you few tips for improving your life.

For a general introduction of the lunar nodes please read the link on “Lunar Nodes April 2010

Ascending Node, August 2010

Astronomy

Date: 20 August 2010

Time: UTC/GMT 12.13

Moon Age: 10.5 days

Lunation Cycle: Waxing Gibbous

Constellation: Sagittarius

Cosmics

The Moon intersects the ecliptical path of the Sun precisely above the left eye of the archer Sagittarius. From this location we observe three heavenly bodies: one is Star Xi 2 Sagittarius onto the north-east; Star Nunki towards the south and M 22 Globular cluster popularly known as “Facies” onto the south-west.” At this moment of time the Moon comes in the line of sight with M 22 Globular cluster.

Facies or M 22 Globular

Facies due to its prominence has turned out to be a star itself, even though it is one of the big nurseries of stars in the known sky. Reportedly, the first globular cluster to be discovered by astronomers its name Facies is said to be derived from Latin “Facere”. This word means “to make “. Colloquially, the word face is assigned to this cluster as the archer Sagittarius faces this system in the celestial sphere. Located just a degree below the ecliptical path, M 22 Globular or Facies often gets occulted by planets including the mighty Sun. This cluster is ranked third luminous in the known sky and perhaps much closer to us. Located somewhere at a distance of 10, 400 light years away the nursery of stars contain more than 70, 000 baby stars. Moreover, the cluster also contains planet-sized objects some of these are much larger than our Earth. Its dense nature and voluminous baby stars within make M 22 Globular an excellent spectacle in the night sky.

Improving your life

1. Use green and red profusely in dresses and appropriately during colour bath

2. Heart and lungs are susceptible for weakness or sickness; take special care if you are a heart patient or suffer from gastric. Make a beeline to your infirmary and check your pulse, pressure and breathing pattern. Those who suffer from eye related issues should consult their medical practitioners for extra medication or attention

3. Hot and moist temperature can help you rather than dry and cold ambience

4. Accidents or mishaps could arise due to carelessness on your part or on the part of others

5. Avoid travelling in speeding vehicles or motor boats

6. Excellent rime for marketers but not so favourable to production or support services

7. Those engaged in sports such as acrobatics, self-defence and speed boats must take extra caution

8. Overall, good for academicians, professionals and medium to large businessmen

9. Risk taking is appropriate for this season; windfalls are there for those who take calculated risks

10. Balance your time between business and family.

Lunar Nodes April 2010

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Lunar Nodes arise when the path of the Moon intersects with the path of the Sun. There are two lunar nodes: ascending and descending. Each node presents opportunities and sometimes threats to you. This blog post explains the lunar nodes in general astronomy and cosmics and describes the ascending and descending lunar nodes for April 2010.

Astronomy

Around the Earth the Sun traverses on a path which we call ecliptical. This path extends to a year in duration. Around the Earth the Moon travels on a path which we call Moon Path. This path extends to les than a month in duration. The Moon path is eliptical to the Sun’s path in that it goes north and south of the Sun’s path. The highest difference between these two paths is bout 5 degrees in latitude.

The path of the Sun and the path of the Moon intersect in two different points called Nodes. One is the Ascending Node which arises when the Moon travels from south to northward direction and where the Moon crosses North to the ecliptic. Hence, the ascending Node is called as North node. The other is the descending node which arises when the Moon travels from north to southward direction where it crosses south to the ecliptic. Hence, the descending node is called as South node. Nodes are basically in opposition to each other. Generally from one node to the other it takes about 14.8 Moon days. Due to the precession, the nodes change in terms of location. Once in every 18.6 years the Nodes complete a rotation called “Nodal Cycle” and arrive at the vernal equinox. The following picture illustrates the lunar nodes:

Cosmics

Generally ascending node is said to shower good time and fortune while descending node may cause disturbances. Cosmic influence of these nodes has been studied by several cultures and civilizations. Depending on the constellation, star, location of the node and the lunation cycle (lunar phase as popularly known) the degree of auspiciousness or severity of distress as the case mat be, would vary. I give below the details of lunar nodes for the month of April 2010 followed by my cosmic advice for improving your life.

Ascending Node April 2010

Date: 6 April 2010

Time: UTC/GMT 09.45

Constellation: Sagittarius

Lunation Cycle: Last Quarter

Star: The moon sights Manubrium (Omicron Sagittarius) on this occasion. The word Manubrium is from Latin meaning “handle”. This giant star is located on the right eye of Sagittarius, the Archer. Though it is located 142 light years away from the Earth, it has been noted as a star of great significance because its close proximity to the ecliptical path of the Sun resulting in frequently being occulted or overshadowed by the Moon. It is a binary star with visual magnitude 3.70 and spectral type of “K0 III”. This star has an eye catching orange colour

Cosmic Advice

1. Use green, red or orange colour

2. Keep out of harmful rays that can damage your eyes; wearing sun glasses is a must

3. Your breathing pattern could change drastically check your pulse and pressure if you have chronic health problems

4. Better to be in hot and moist temperature that can have balming effect as your mind works faster than what the body can bear

5. You have to be damned practical when handling bosses and colleagues and subordinates as your relationship with them is not too smooth; as regards to customers and business partners lot of things would remain

6. The time of ascending node is one out of million chances as the combination of star, constellation and lunar phase oracles good time and positive cosmics. Moreover, there cannot be an excellent time to start or re-start anything in your life, career, family and business on this day of ascending node.

Descending Node April 2010

Date: 20 April 2010

Time: UTC/GMT 13.38

Constellation: Gemini

Lunation Cycle: Waxing Crescent

Star: The moon sights Mekbuda (Zeta Gemini), a super giant also referred to as “Zeta Gem” by astronomers. Mekbuda and Mebsuta are pair of stars in Gemini constellation, noted for love and vitality. Interestingly Mebsuta is just above the ecliptical plane whereas Mekbuda is just below the ecliptical line. This star Mekbuda is located on the outstretched left leg of the twin Pollux who is an immortal and the son of Zeus. This yellow colour super giant is variable star of spectral type “G3Ibv” with visual brightness ranging between 3.7 to 4.2 magnitude. Even though it is about 1,120 light years away its pulsating brilliance brings lingering sense of happiness

Cosmic Advice:

1. Keep out of swimming or submerging your head under water

2. Always occupy the head table in family dinners and business parties

3. Use light blue or crimson red as preferred colours

4. Take lot of care on your feet, knee downwards; special attention must be paid to your left foot; any injury would have lasting effects even though not fatal

5. Those who suffer depression, fatigue or emotional downswings should take extra care

6. Commitment of financial nature should not be made on this day of descending node.
