Megrez: Star that gives you a Silver Spoon

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

Astronomy

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

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

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

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

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

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

Asterism

Megrez is a part of the Big Dipper Asterism, the most famous out of all asterisms. Big Dipper is also known as Wagon in USA and Plough in UK. The appropriate word is ladle because all the seven stars in the asterism form a ladle. This asterism is noted in astronomy because the seven stars in the asterism are related to each other in terms of speed , motion and the direction towards these are moving away from earth. This remarkable fact is known as “Ursa Major moving Group”. In Hindu mythology the asterism is called Saptha Rishi (Seven Stages), who incant the name of Vishnu in unison.

Constellation

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

Cosmics

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

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

Improving Your Life

The following are few recommendations to improve your life:

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

2. Numbers 2 and 7 do wonders for you

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

4. You must select business management course for your studies

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kim Kardashian, who can tame her Booty

Kim Kardashian a celebrity in Hollywood is very popular among male fans for her enormous booty. Neither a great actress nor a talented artist Kim is compensated for by nature giving her fabulous physical assets: voluptuous breasts and large buttocks. Though she became a toast after her sex tape with Ray J her popularity is sustained mainly by her enormous booty. So far no one has succeeded in taming her booty. In this blog post I examine her booty to find out the cosmics of her booty and why it remains un-tamed.

Kim Kardashian, Bio Snippets

Kimberly Noel Kardashian was born on October 21, 1980 in Los Angeles, California with a mix of genetics from Armenia, Germany and Ireland. In fact she has attributed her large booty to her Armenian genes. She is the second daughter of late Robert Kardashian who was friend and defending lawyer for O J Simpson. She first married Damon Thomas in 2000 but divorced him in 2004. Her affair with Reggie Bush also ended in July 2009. She was ranked third ever sexiest bunny in the Playboy magazine even though her height is just five feet and three inches.

Her notable film is Deep in the Valley (2009) and her TV series “Keeping with the Kardashian “is the saga with the cast from her family members in the Kardashian and the Jenner Clans. Kim Kardashian is one of the celebrities in Hollywood noted for partying as well as mooning her buttocks.

Buttocks

According to physiology the Buttocks is a rounded part of the anatomy in the posterior pelvic region of human beings. It is formed by gluteal muscles in the pelvic region covered by layers of fat known as subcutaneous fat to facilitate the human beings to sit upon their buttocks. In a sense it is like a cushion in the car seat; the buttocks act like a sponge so that the gluteal muscle is not braced while a person is seated. In the case of females more subcutaneous fat is formed in keeping with their wider hips and to support and balance them in pregnancy. In some cases there is over-development of subcutaneous fat covering the gluteal muscle resulting in abnormal growth of buttocks. Medically, this is known as steatopygia requiring treatment.

Interest in female buttocks is as ancient as the human race. Most of the female Hindu deities are always painted or sculptured with large buttocks. In most parts of the world large female buttocks are considered as signs of beauty and wealth whereas large male buttocks are generally abhorred. However, the Buttocks as form of sexual attraction is a late development mainly originating from cinemas by Hollywood or TV series in the United States.

There are several synonyms for buttocks in English language. Some are outright slang and some are acceptable in print. Bottom, Backside and Buttocks or Butts are generally acceptable in print. Booty is a slang as well as acceptable in print. Arse, Ass, Buns, Bums and Seats are mainly slang expressions. Posterior is most civilized form; Derriere is from stylised French. Top it all comes, Badonkadonk which signifies voluptuous and large but firm female buttocks.

Women who have small buttocks can now opt for silicon butt implements that would enhance their buttocks. Generally known as Butt Augmentation, this therapy is sought after by many celebrities.

Kim Kardashian’s Booty

The Cosmics of the Booty of Kim Kardashian are described below:

Kim Kardashian: Picture One

The right side view of her booty in picture one demonstrates the half-moon disk formation of her marvellous booty. From her right thigh the booty grows like half moon with a bright disk. You will see the glow of light coming out from the right disk almost silhouetting the rest of her beautiful buttock. This makes her a real callipygian; a girl who has glowing rounded buttock moving like poetry in motion. It also demonstrates sensuousness, innocence and takes you along to heights of erotic ecstasy. Not only that, it indicates Kim Kardashian has powerful earth element blended with light flowing down. She has immense staying power and at the same time can weather any storm arising from her critics or adversaries. More than that, the half-moon glow indicates she has energy in reserve and for a 29 year old that is necessary as she faces up to the Hollywood’s’ demands and the desire of her fans.

A key mystery is solved by this half-moon formation. Her half-moon disk has something mystical and magical that draws you to her fabulous booty. There are celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce and Jessica Biel who can flaunt their booty with equal felicity. But you see their booty once and the memory fades away. In the case of Kim Kardashian it is different; you are glued to her booty. You go looking for it again and again. Many men and also women often visit and re-visit internet pages displaying her booty. The hits these pages receive are an indication that her booty is in a class of its own and cannot be compared with the booty of any known celebrities.

Kim Kardashian: Picture Two

Photo Credit :

The left side view of her booty is shown in picture two. This is known as “Apple bottom”. You will notice sweet melody blended with a pervading sensuousness in the left view. You will also notice the curvaceous back and a shallow dip on to the thigh. This dip begins its journey from where the curvaceous back formation ends and extends downward and also to the front. This is a remarkable formation indicating Kim Kardashian has insatiable sex energy arising from her left side water energy. It also means that there are few men who can harness her sexual energy. Apple bottoms derive heightened and ultimate sex experience when they mount over their male partner while making sex.

Kim Kardashian: Picture Three

_773165a.jpg

A Complete rear view of Kim Kardashian’s booty is shown in picture three. This is real “Badonkadonk” showing her firm and large buttocks displaying beaming voluptuousness, sensuality and curvaceous form. You notice the well rounded booty gyrating as a guitar. Look at the picture again: you see the full moon has arisen in the sky. This feature indicates that Kim Kardashian is a legend in control of her situation, face up to any challenges with confidence and tact, accept compliment and criticism in its stead, gracious to friends and foes. But the main negative is she needs yes men who have to be under her control, or call it “under her booty”. Taming her Booty is not going to be easy for men out there.

Saturn - Sun Conjunction 2009

Saturn – Sun Conjunction is an annual event; the location of the event and the setting matters a lot in interpreting the event. This year it took place in Virgo constellation heralding twists and turns in your family life and business life. This blog post explains the event in terms of astronomy and cosmics and gives summary Interpretations.

1. Astronomy

1. The conjunction took place precisely at 18.30 GMT/UTC time on September 18, 2009 even though the signs of conjunction are apparent from the previous day. This event took place at the exact point in the celestial longitude known as Right Ascension (RA) of 11 hour and 45 minutes. However, the celestial latitude, known as Declination (Dec) is somewhat different. Saturn is located at 3 degree 40 minutes north whereas Sun is located at 1 degree 40 minutes north, just below the Saturn.

2. Most importantly, the conjunction is in Virgo Constellation where Sun stays the longest period of 44 days in its year long ecliptical journey. Saturn enters Virgo constellation on September 2, whereas Sun enters on September 16. The fact the conjunction taking place within three days of Sun’s entry is quite significant. Moreover, the planet Mercury is also located in Virgo constellation at this time. The Moon though close by is in Sextans Constellation south of Virgo and Leo constellations.

3. From this location if we look around we find planets, stars and an asteroid 2 Pallos in several directions:

North: The Star Nu Virgo a red giant of 4.0 visual magnitude with a spectral class of M0 located 313 light years away and positioned on the head of the ever green Virgin

North-west: The Star Sigma Leo a blue-white giant of 4.05 magnitude with a spectral class of B9 located 214 light years away and positioned on the right knee of the lion in Leo constellation

West: In the west there are 3 celestial bodies: 89 Leo a star, 2 Pallos an asteroid and Tau Leo a significant star. I have considered the last one Tau Leo for my review. The star Tau Leo is a yellow giant of 4.95 magnitude with a spectral class of G 8 located 621 light years away and positioned on the shank of the right leg of the lion in Leo constellation

South-west: The Star Upsilon Leo which is similar to Tau Leo a yellow giant of 4.30 magnitude with a spectral class of G 9 located 178 light years away and positioned on the paw of the right leg of the lion in Leo constellation.

The Moon is also located in the same direction, but in the Sextans constellation just below the star Upsilon Leo

South-east: The planet Mercury

East: The Star Zavijaya, astronomically known as Beta Virgo, a pale yellow star of 3.61 visual magnitude with a spectral class of F9 located 36 light years away and positioned on the winged right shoulder of the ever green Virgin

2. Cosmics

1. Virgo constellation is known as ever green virgin with a winged shoulder. In Greek legend Virgo represents the virgin goddess, the daughter of Astreos and Eos. In another myth Virgo is Peresphone, daughter of Zeus and Demeter, Goddess of harvest. Pluto abducts Persephone to the underworld. Consequently pains over it and neglects her duty. As there are no harvests, there was famine forcing Zeus to restore Persephone on a seasonal basis so that she spends few months in underworld and many months on earth. In Babylonian mythology it symbolizes the goddess Istar, a queen of star & lover of Taammuz who is the God of Harvest. Taammuz was killed during an intervening autumn. So Virgo goes to the underworld during winter in search of her lover and returns during the spring.

2. Virgo heralds spring and season of renewal. Virgo gives you positive cosmics including springing back to action after any calamity, fondness towards arts and crafts, romantic love, knowledge of the un-seen, faithfulness to the spouse and family, being loved by friends & enemies alike and taking responsibility. Negative cosmics are: seasonal in nature, often taken for a ride by the opposite sex, too absorbed in a matter and unwittingly caught in a conspiracy or tragedy.

3. The location of the conjunction is a Trapezium formed by the stars Zavijaya (Beta Virgo), Nu Virgo, Sigma Leo, Tau Leo and Upsilon Leo. The last three namely Sigma Leo, Tau Leo and Upsilon Leo forms a straight line and symbolizes the rear right leg of the Lion from its knee downward. This right leg is drawn backward compared to the left leg. This part represents the West. The other side of the trapezium consists of two stars, namely Zavijaya (Beta Virgo) and Nu Virgo. This represents the west. The conjunction location is closer to the east and away from the west.

3. Interpretations

1. East is rising; west is sinking. Countries such as Japan and South Korea experience economic turn around. China consolidates its power; Eurasia is on the rise. Europe as a whole is in the doldrums except for few countries in the North and the East. United States is pushed backward by Russia and countries in Asia.

2. Business blossoms in the East and flow of money would go towards east from the west

3. Family life and business life of those born under Virgo Constellation improve tremendously. Whereas those born under the Leo Constellation would suffer losses and feel sorrow

4. Persons who are born on dates 8, 17 and 28 would experience improvement in their lives

5. Persons whose names has H, F and LL are expected to do well

6. Those who hold administrative jobs would scrape through but those who are engaged in operational or marketing related jobs face disappointments.

Ramadan 2009, Planet Jupiter Sings in Chorus

Ramadan 2009 begins on a very auspicious moment. The Planet Jupiter harbinger of wealth and fortune sings the praise of the Lord in chorus with other bright stars in the sky. Not only that, Jupiter casts its benign eye on the earth. For many of you this marks a turning point for a better life. In this blog post, I describe the event in terms Astronomy, Stars and Cosmics to improve your lifestyle.

1. Positional Astronomy

Observing from Colombo, Sri Lanka at 8.00 p.m. on Friday, 21 August 2009, the sky chart gives the following astronomical position of the planet Jupiter and its companions:

1. Jupiter is in the south-eastern sky in the Capricornus constellation located at right Ascension (RA) 21 hour 35 minutes and in Declination (Dec) of 15 degree and 30 minute South. Capricornus constellation is historically depicted as a Sea –Goat and on this date Jupiter is on the curled tail of the Sea-Goat. Jupiter is on its last leg of a year long journey through the Capricornus constellation beginning on 4 January 2009, and ending on 9 February 2010.

2. On the day 21 August, Ramadan 2009 begins and Jupiter sings the praise of the Lord in chorus with planet Neptune and stars Nashira and Deneb Algedi. The other members of the choir include stars Mu Capricorni along with stars 42, 44 and 45 Capricorni, all in the Capricornus constellation.

2. Stars

1. Nashira: Astronomically known as Gamma Capricorni, Nashira is a white colour star with a spectral class of A 7 and with a visual magnitude of 3.65. It is located approximately 139 light years away. Celestially its position is on Right Ascension (RA) 21 hour 40 minutes and Declination (Dec) 16 degree 39 minutes. The star is located in the curled tail of the Sea-goat. The word “Nashira” means “Fortune” in Arabic. A well meaning star it signifies position of wealth along with political and business patronage. It also marks social status.

2. Deneb Algedi: Similar to Nashira, Deneb Algedi is a white colour star with a spectral class of A 5 and with a visual magnitude of 2.85. It is located approximately 39 light years away. Celestially its position is on Right Ascension (RA) 21 hour 47 minutes and Declination (Dec) 16 degree 04 minutes. Deneb Algedi is also located at the curled tail of the sea-goat like Nashira. The name Deneb Algedi is derived from Arabic “ Al-Dhaneb Al-Jady” meaning “ tail of the goat” given by Ulugh Beg, the Mongolian Emperor and Astronomer. A fascinating star and brighter one than Nashira due to its closeness to earth, Deneb Algedi signifies wisdom and wealth in equal measure.

Both stars are considered as an excellent pair. Arab astronomers coined the word “Muhibbeen” meaning “Loving Friends” to indicate their companionship. Both stars are located in the Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al- Saad –Al Suud” which means “The Fortune of the Fortunate”. Stars located in this lunar mansion such as Nashira and Deneb Algedi and planets traversing the lunar mansion, that is, Jupiter and Neptune right now, are considered as harbingers of good fortune. This lunar mansion signifies the Hebraic/Arabic alphabet Yod/Ya and relates to the wheel of fortune turning to better times.

3. In addition to the Stars, Jupiter is having the friendship of the planet Neptune. Significantly the planet Neptune was discovered on 23 September 1846 by Johann Galle, a German Astronomer in the Berlin Observatory. At the time of discovery Neptune was located in space between Deneb Algedi and the Star Mu Capricorni. Right now after 163 years Neptune is in the same location between the stars Deneb Algedi and Mu Capricorni. I give you the location of all three: Deneb Algedi, Neptune and Mu Capricorni as on 21 August 2009 for your attention:

Celestial Body  Right Ascension       Declination (South)

Deneb Algedi   21h 47 minutes        16 degree 04 minutes

Neptune           21h 49 minutes        13 degree 35 minutes

Mu Capricorni  21h 53 minutes        13 degree 30 minutes

Neptune is the furthest planet in the solar system and is very similar to Jupiter in terms of icy clouds and storms lashing on its surface. Neptune emits a bluish tint and located 29 Astronomical Units from the earth (One Astronomical Unit equals to the distance between Earth and the Sun and given as 149.6 million kilometres). Neptune joining Jupiter in the lunar mansion “Al- Saad –Al Suud“signifies the turning to better times.

3. Cosmics

Make a date with the planet Jupiter in the early night say between 7.00 to 9.00 p.m., to improve your family life and business life. Look at the sky and observe the brilliance of planet Jupiter. Due to brightness of Jupiter you will not be able to see the stars Nashira, Deneb Algedi or planet Neptune with the naked eye. It does not matter. Fix your eyes on Jupiter. Stay for few minutes in this position. You will observe passing clouds sometimes obstruct your view. Never mind. Take a bath in the brilliance and glory of Jupiter. Now invoke the blessings of the Planet Jupiter on you. Your outstretched palms in prayer and incantation will receive the cosmic energy. Now take a step back and fondly massages your body with your palms. You will see a feeling of elation running up in your spine.
