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.

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.

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.

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.

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

As you know 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. Two ascending nodes and one descending node occur during the month on May 2010. This blog post details astronomy relating to the double ascending nodes and a single descending node and gives you few tips based on cosmics for improving your life.

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

First Ascending Node May 2010

Constellation: Gemini

Lunation Cycle: Waxing Crescent

Star: The moon sights star Wasat (Delta Gemini), a yellow – white sub-giant located in the Gemini constellation, precisely on the right hand elbow of Castor one of the twins. The name Wasat is from Arabic “Al-Wasat” meaning “the Middle”. This star Wasat is a double star with a spectral type of “F0IV” with visual brightness of 3.5 magnitude. Though it is about 59 light years away it is an important star as the Geminids meteor showers taking place during December 8 to 18 with yellow to green stream originates from a radiant north of this star

Improving your life

1. Use green & yellow or blue & red profusely in dresses and appropriately during colour bath

2. Do not act in childish manner when it comes to wants and needs; by the same token do not get into stubborn behaviour

3. Drink more water during the day; less in the night

Second Ascending Node May 2010

Astronomy

Date: 30 May 2010

Time: UTC/GMT 18.07

Constellation: Sagittarius

Lunation Cycle: Waning Gibbous

Star: The moon sights Nunki (Sigma Sagittarius) on this occasion. The word is of Sumerian origin meaning “Voices from the Sea” The Arabs considered Nunki as one of the “Returning Ostriches” (Al-Naam Al – Sadirah) from the celestial rivers. Located at the vane of the arrow the archer Sagittarius holding, this star is always symbolised as a trigger or the finger on the cock of the gun. This blue-white main sequence star is 224 light years away from the Earth. Its spectral classification is “B2V”. Nunki is a singular star with a magnitude of 2.00 and is the second brightest one in the Sagittarius constellation.

Improving your life

1. Use green & red or blue & yellow profusely in dresses and appropriately during colour bath

2. Continue to monitor your heart chakra so that it does not go out of harmony

3 You are better if you can stay under hot and moist ambience; resultant effects would bring a fusion between your body and fast working mind. Get yourself refreshments such as fruit drinks and avoid aerated water

4. Do not aggravate any situation where you will be blamed as a man who cocked the gun

5. Chances are plenty where you will be pushed around by others. Take care that you stay in moral high ground and do not let temptation play its hands on you

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.

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

The Moon

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

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

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

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

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

Cosmics

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

1. Illumination of the Moon

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

2. Water Bodies

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

3. Mood Swings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What You Should Do?

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

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

Month: January

Date: 30

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

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

Illumination: 99.87%

Time Gap: Less than 6 hours

Constellation: Cancer

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

You go for sunbathing but do not bother about the Moon that gives you light that is cool and refreshing. By bathing under the moonlight you can regain your lost energy and enthusiasm. What you need are few tips for Moonbathing. This blog post does that for you.

Moonbathing

Moonbathing is not well known in many parts of the world. While people flock to beaches for sunbathing from one corner of the globe to another they would not even step out to their back garden to bask under the cooling rays of the moonlight. There are two reasons for this: One is sunbathing is a day time affair where fun and frolic are order of the day not to mention socialising much sought after by sunbathers. Second reason is the illumination from moonlight compared with sunlight is too fractional to be considered anything worthy.

But the fact remains that moonbathing is as important as sunbathing; the benefits derived from moonbathing are equally important. Both sunbathing and moonbathing grant you different types of Cosmics. While sunbathing gives you male energy known as yang moonbathing affords you with the female energy known as yin. Purely yang makes you energetic but dries your feelings and emotions; by the same token exclusive yin energy glides you to float in sensitivity but depletes your orientation for action.

Moonbathing changes your lifestyle. For example a hot tempered person can become cooler and perhaps saner after continuous moonbathing for sometime. There is not a single defect in a moonbath to my knowledge. People can avoid sunbath if they have skin ailments. In the case of moonbath even a person dying of a terminal disease could drive some cosmic benefits. Hence, moonbathing is an essential feature in improving your life. In order to understand moonbathing and make it effective, it is necessary to learn about moonlight. The following are key features of moonlight:

1. Moonlight is not original one attributed to the Moon; it is in fact reflected light of the Sunlight absorbed by the Moon and showered on earth

2. Illumination of moonlight is fractional; in the temperate zones it is about one over 500,000 times of the sunlight; in tropical it can increase to about one over 250,000 of the sunlight

3. Due to insufficient illumination, the colour sensory ability of our eyes is impaired in moonlight. Hence, in moonlight you have either black or white. Moreover, the size dimension gets twisted. You will not be able to get the proper dimensions right. Hence, in moonlight a tree may appear bigger than in sunlight or artificial light.

4. Illumination of moonlight progresses as the Moon goes through phases known as lunation cycles. The moonlight gets brighter from the first quarter; more luminous in the waxing Gibbous and culminates on full moon day. It wanes thereafter in the Waning Gibbous and by the time it reaches end of the Waning Gibbous moonlight dims out. Roughly the time for moonbathing is, therefore, between 8 to 21 lunar days. This period is alternately knows as bright moon days

5. The Moon grows by each night. Instead of calling these as nights we use “lunar days” to identify the age of the Moon.

Tips for Moonbathing

1. Choose the Lunation Cycle right for you:

First Quarter: Ranges from eighth till eleventh lunar day. During these four nights you can moonbathe till about the midnight. This time is ideal for teens, convalescing persons and those who work in finance and banking sector

Waxing gibbous: Ranges from twelfth to fourteenth lunar day. During these three nights you can moonbathe between 10.00 p.m. till well past midnight. This lunation cycle is ideal for housewives, pregnant ladies or nursing mothers and those who work in teaching or educational related sectors

Full Moon: This Moon is also called as Night Moon because it is there in the sky the entire night. It appears for two days fifteenth and sixteenth lunar days. You can moon bathe from 8.00 p.m. till the wee hours as you please. This moon phase is excellent for artists, managers and business owners or persons involved in business related activities

Waning Gibbous: This phase has five days from seventeenth to twenty-first lunar days. The Moon rises late in the night in east and sets after Sun-rise. You will observe that the Moon is giving much cooler even though paler light. You can moonbathe around midnight till about 4.00 a.m. This suits fine for senior citizens and those who are serving in armed forces or regulatory bodies

2. Moon is for all seasons: spring, summer, autumn (fall) and winter. Depending on your personal preference you can choose the season for moonbathing:

Spring Moon: Silvery light with greenish tinge; calming and at the same time rejuvenating ambience

Summer Moon: Yellow light with orange overtones; more pulsating energy along with refreshed ambience

Autumn Moon: Mellow light with violet undertones; glowing in calmness and serenity

Winter Moon: Blue to silver; sense of silence with an echo of silent sound reverberating

3. Dress: You can dress decently with loose fitting garments; you can leave upper torso bare, unless civility dictates otherwise. During winter, you need protective garments

4. Manner: You can choose to stroll or sit in a wooden chair or rest / sleep in a couch

5. Eating and Drinking: You can eat or drink as you please but it would be better to avoid liquor

6. Seeing and Viewing: If it is possible, look at the Moon as often as necessary

7. Touching and Massaging: As you moonbathe you should fondle, tap, squeeze, touch and massage your body especially on the upper torso

8. Once the moonbath is completed do not wipe your body unless you need to get rid of any snow, bird droppings, dust and pigments of leaves

9. Retire to bed straight away.

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 with“Hot-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.
