Does Moon Cause Mood Swings?

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

The Moon

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

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

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

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

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

Cosmics

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

1. Illumination of the Moon

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

2. Water Bodies

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

3. Mood Swings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What You Should Do?

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

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

Month: January

Date: 30

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

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

Illumination: 99.87%

Time Gap: Less than 6 hours

Constellation: Cancer

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

Deneb, White Star of Fortune

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

Astronomy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Asterism

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

1. Deneb on the head

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

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

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

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

Cygnus Constellation

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

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

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

Cosmics

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

Improving Your Life

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mebsuta, Star of Love and Vitality

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

1) Astronomy

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

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

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

2) Cosmics

2.1) Gemini Constellation

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

2.2) Lunar Mansion

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

2.3) Improving Your Life

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tips for Moonbathing

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.

Easy Guide to Paring Nails

Paring nail is a mundane task, so you thought. Like every activity paring nails also has do and avoid lists in its rule book. If you keep to this rulebook you can improve your Cosmics which in turn helps improving your life too. This blog post gives you an easy guide to paring nails in nutshell in the form of Do and Avoid List.

Do List

1. Keep nail clippers and nail files for strictly personal use

2. Good days for paring nails are: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. For children below the age of 13 it is better to pare nails on Wednesdays. Morning hours are recommended

3. Before starting, you must soak your fingers and toes in water for few minutes and wipe these dry

4. There are two activities: clipping and filing. First you do the clipping and then the filing. The procedure is given below:

Firstly clip nails on the right hand starting from the right thumb and ending with the small finger. Thereafter, use the nail file to smooth the end and edges of the nails starting from thumb finger and ending with the small finger. Now shift to the left hand and do the same way

When it comes to toe nail the sequence is changed. Firstly you clip toe nails on the right foot starting from the little toe and ending with the big toe known as Hallux. Thereafter, use the nail file to smooth the end and edges of the toe nails starting from little toe and ending with the big toe. Now shift to the left foot and do the same way

5. After paring nails, use a disinfectant to wash your fingers and the toes thoroughly and wipe these dry

6. The cut nails from fingers and toes should be preferably disposed by burying these in the sand. If this is not possible use water in the wash basin to flush these out

7. You can clip finger nails once in a fortnight; as regards to toe nails you can pare either fortnightly or monthly as the case may be

8. During emergency such as physical injury to the nails, this Do List can be ignored.

Avoid List

1. Do not trample upon the cut pieces of nails

2. You should never burn cut pieces of nails in any manner

3. Do not leave cut pieces of nails inside the house unattended, as it leads to poverty and ill-health

4. You should not clip nails on Mondays, the first day of the calendar month, the first day of the New Moon and on the Full Moon day. Solar eclipse takes place on the first day of the New Moon and Lunar Eclipse on the Full Moon day and clipping nails in these days is a taboo in terms of Cosmics

5. Women who have just conceived should not pare nails for 21 days from the day of conception lest it leads to complications during pregnancy

6. Never bite nails as this is injurious to health especially the intestine

7. Dreaming cut pieces of nails results in abject poverty or terminal illness; hence if you have such dreams consult an elder or medical professional promptly.

When does the Day Begin?

International Time Standards mandate the day to begin at midnight. Although this is suitable for communication and transaction purposes it does not help you in understanding your personality or ability. There is an alternative based on Sun rise time where the day begins with the sun up. In this blog post I introduce the alternative system based on sun rise for you to get a feel of it.

Day

A day has two manifestations; the first one is the day of the week. Traditionally the days in a week start from Sunday and end in Saturday. Till very recently calendars showed the days in a week in this manner. The second manifestation is the date which ranges from 1 to 31( maximum) days in a month. A day is considered to have 24 hours or 1,440 minutes or 86,400 seconds. We call this as a solar day.

Beginning of a Day

There are three ways in which the beginning of a day is announced:

1. International Time Standards dictate that the day begins at 12.00 midnight or put it other way 00.00 a.m. This time system is universally accepted for communication and transactions. Strangely, the day begins in dark under this calculation. Let us assume Sunday 24 January 2010 as a day for our calculation. The day number 24 and the day of Sunday therefore begin at Saturday midnight or Sunday morning of zero hour and zero minute

2. Arabic Hebrew Systems command that the day begins when the sun sets in a particular country. Once again this is a strange phenomenon where the day begin with the onset of darkness. Let us assume Sunday 24 January 2010 as a day for our calculation and we take the locality as London in United Kingdom. The day number 24 and the day of Sunday therefore begin on Sundown of the previous day that is Saturday 23 January 2010

3. Vedic Indian System reasons out that the day begins on Sunrise in a particular locality. Let me give you Sun Rise Chart for London, United Kingdom for the week starting on Sunday, 24 January:

Sun Rise Data for London – fourth week

24-January-2010 Sunday 7.50 a.m.

25-January-2010 Monday 7.49 a.m.

26-January-2010 Tuesday 7.48 a.m.

27-January-2010 Wednesday 7.46 a.m.

28-January-2010 Thursday 7.45 a.m.

29-January-2010 Friday 7.43 a.m.

30-January-2010 Saturday 7.42 a.m.

Under this system the day number 24 and the day of Sunday therefore begin with Sunup on Sunday at 7.50 am. It is significant, that the Sun rise time tend to vary for given days.

Cosmics

While International Time Standards are appropriate for communication and transaction purposes these cannot help you in understanding your personality or ability. Day must break-out with light. What else can do this aspect other than the Sun. Hence, I hold with the Vedic Indian System that has reasoned out the sun up as the appropriate time to begin a day. Furthermore, this system is much more relevant and meaningful in terms of Cosmics: the hidden aspects that help unravel your personality, fame and fate. To illustrate, let me analyse two sets of birth data occurring on Wednesday 27 January 2010.

1. Baby born at 7.00 a.m. in London: The birth characteristics of this baby relate to Tuesday and the ruling number is 26 which is further reduced to number 8. This baby will grow to be an active, aggressive, engaged in indoor sports, relying more on physical energy but at times moody

2. Baby born at 8.00 a.m. in London: The birth characteristics of this baby relate to Wednesday and the ruling number is 27 which is further reduced to number 9. This baby will grow to be an intelligent,  artistic, engaged in outdoor sports relying more on mental energy most of the time cheery.

When you re-cast your birth details in terms of Sun rise data, you will get more insight into your personality and understand what you can do better in improving your life. Keep in your mind that to understand your Cosmics you need to shift to the Sunrise time.

Turkey – Israel Relationship Changing from Strategic to Tactical

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.

Laila Rouass, Feet Made for Dancing

British actress Laila Rouass has a colourful and varied career. Starting her celebrity life as a VJ she has flaunted her talent in modelling and acting as well. Her memorable performance as “Amber Gates” in British TV drama “Footballers’ Wives” made her a star to be reckoned with. But her real form was found recently in the BBC One Reality Programme, Strictly Come Dancing, where she was featured as a dancer. What struck me were her feet that are made for dancing. In this blog post I examine the Cosmics of her feet to find out what do these feet tell about the dancing ability of this celebrity?

Laila Rouass, Bio Snippets

Laila Rouass was born on June 22, 1971 in London, with a mix of genetics from Morocco and Goa. She started her career as a Video Jockey on Channel V in India, where she has honed her skills in the art of multi media presentation. She later modelled for prestigious names such as French Couture, House, and Chanel. Later she moved on to acting in films debuting in the Hollywood movie “Fear of Feathers”. But it was the British TV that made her a star. Soap opera “Family Affairs”, science fiction “Primeval” are feathers in her cap. Her performance as “Amber Gates “in the TV drama “Footballers’ Wives” made her indelible mark on the British media and entertainment industry. Surprisingly the BBC One reality show Strictly Come Dancing Series 7, concluded in December 2009 brought to light a hidden talent of Laila Rouass: Perfect Dancer. Though she was knocked off in the quarter finals, Laila Rouass was one of the two finds spotlighted in this competition the other being Ali ( Alexandra ) Bastian, herself a British actress. Vital statistics of Laila Rouass of 36-25-36 along with the moderate height at 5 feet 6 inches, earned for her a mooring in the FHM Magazine’s “100 Sexiest Women in the World” consecutively in years 2004 and 2005. To cap it all, the British Magazine Eastern Eye gave her a slot at Fifth Position in ranking of Asia’s Sexiest Women consecutively in years 2006 and 2007. Celebrity news portal, Askmen.com gave her coveted 87 marks for her strong physique propped up by her shapely legs and brimming feet.

Feet for Dancing

For every dancer feet serve as important body parts; feet act as conduit firstly in combining physical strength with skills of dancing and thereafter translating the resultant combination into a well executed dancing routine. Although hips, thighs, knees are important it is the part of leg below the knee that matters a lot in steps in any form of dancing. The stress of dancing is placed on ankles, heels, feet uppers and toes. That is why it is not un-usual for dancers to get twisted ankle, crooked toes and sprained heels or feet uppers. The strain and pounding these body parts had to undergo is immense. More often than not, dancers experience calluses, corns, bunions, rubbed skins and broken toes. To buttress the strain and pounding and to make their ankles, heels, feet uppers & toes flexible and manoeuvrable dancers need strong and supple shanks above and equally strong and fleshy feet below.

Feet of Laila Rouass

The Cosmics of the feet of Laila Rouass are described below:

Laila Rouass: Picture One

http://www.moejackson.com/archives/2006/04/20/laila-rouass-hot-indian-of-the-week?page=0,4

The Picture One shows right foot forward for Laila Rouass. You can notice the straight shank of the right foot, thick, supple and reinforced with strong calf muscle that gives physical strength and cosmic energy. You will not fail to see the centre bone on the ankle jutting out resulting in almost equal division of the muscles on both sides of the foot upper. This kind of physique works well for a dancer who relies on foot work. From sub-conscious mind Laila Rouass is very concerned of the aspect of foot work. In fact in the Strictly Come Dancing competition she has appreciated the fellow dancer Ali Bastion’s “legwork”. Her strong physique together with the formation of ankles and feet upper provide her with a high degree of co-ordination in the steps of dancing.

Laila Rouass: Picture Two

http://www.moejackson.com/archives/2006/04/20/laila-rouass-hot-indian-of-the-week?page=0,1

The sitting posture of Laila Rouass in Picture Two displays all the features she has to become a great dancer. The number one feature is her toes that are perfectly aligned, fleshy and glow in cosmic energy; these can handle any dance routine including pirouetting. The second feature is fullness of the ankles, heels, feet upper and the toes working in harmony in executing each step in a dance programme. If you look up towards the knee or when you look down towards her feet you will not miss grace and beauty being part of her well endowed feet. Such feet made for dancing give her the ability to turn her ankle and shift the burden from one part to another easily and comfortably.

Laila Rouass: Picture Three

http://www.bollygallery.com/d/26098-1/Laila+Rouass_038.jpg

Bent knee of Laila Rouass in another sitting posture depicted in Picture Three completes our analysis. This time it is her left leg in luscious glow orchestrating her shank, heel and foot upper that was captured by this photo shot. Laila Rouass can do any dancing steps effortlessly because she has fleshy and rounded heel sitting pretty well with the shank to the left and foot upper below in the above picture. This formation gives her high degree of composure as a dancer as she can bend and turn her feet in equal felicity. Moreover, her feet give grace as a swan and are light as a flamingo. What an amazing combination for Laila Rouass, whose feet are made for dancing.

Sneezing is Welcome

Lord Murugan and Goddess Valli two of the Hindu Deities in love are to exchange the vows of marriage and as the moment approaches, the priest sneezes. So the divine nuptial is postponed to the following year. This scene is reminiscent of the tradition associated with the aspect of a simple sneeze, a biological re-action that is steeped in tradition. In this blog post, I write about sneezing and what it means to you in terms of cosmics.

Sneezing

Sneezing is an expulsion of air from the lungs through the nose as well as mouth. It is normally considered as a healthy biological re-action. Nevertheless, for those who are around the sneezer it may mean different things and may be even un-healthy if the sneezer does not cover the volley of air and moisture landing on them.

Sneezing though looks very simple is a complicated body re-action, co-ordinated by the sneeze centre located in your brain. It involves muscles in abdomen, chest, vocal chords, diaphragm, throat, mouth, nose and eyelids. While sneezing your heart beats slower, your speech is interrupted, your eyes close and your lungs constrict to expel the air. The speed of sneezing averages between 60 to 120 miles per hour. Strong men record higher speeds than the weaker ones; Sneezing in men is faster than in women; Young have more forceful sneeze than the old do.

Causes

This natural phenomenon is the way the body adjusts to an external cause such as foreign matter or ambience or caused by an internal issue. The following are some of the chief causes:

1. Any foreign particle or irritant being attached to the nasal tract thereby disturbing the mucous membrane

2. Any viral infection or any virus that has made a temporary home in the nasal tract causing swelling and subsequent irritation

3. Dusty ambience

4. Common cold, Flu or Infection in the respiratory track

5. Wearing clothes that are dusty; where dust mites thrive

6. High pollen count in the air

7. Allergy caused by animal dander; hair , feathers, scales of skin and other materials shed from the body by pets , reptiles and others

8. In rare cases when a person eats to a full stomach

9. A person with cold body might start to sneeze when exposed to sunlight or bright artificial light; this is known as photic sneeze

10. A person with hot body might start to sneeze when exposed to cold wind or water.

Precaution

Following guidelines help you in managing sneeze and in improving your life:

1. Always keep a handkerchief or tissue stand by so that you can warp it around the nose to absorb the air and moisture lest it disturbs others

2. Do not close your nose or mouth when sneezing

3. If you have frequent bouts of sneezing do not drive vehicles

4. If you have difficulty in sneezing learn to take deep breath

5. If you get a sensation of sneezing but the actual sneeze does not take place then check your nostrils; at a given time one of the nostrils does intake the air. Smell a pinch of pepper powder via that nostril; sneeze would occur normally. However, do not over-do this.

6. Chronic inability to sneeze may have been caused by an issue in Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT); consult a doctor for necessary medication to facilitate sneezing

7. Frequent or non-stoppable sneeze may have been caused by an issue in ENT or in the functioning of the Brain; consult a doctor for necessary medication for suppression of sneezing

8. Asthmatic persons and those who have allergies must take special care about sneezing.

Cosmics

The following are few of the cosmics related to sneezing; however care must be taken to exclude sneeze occurring due to causes listed under Causes in the above paragraphs:

1. During the divine marriage ceremony between Lord Murugan and Goddess Valli, Hindu Deities in Katatragama, in the south-eastern Ceylon, the moment of exchanging nuptial vows by garlanding each other arrives. All the devotees in the Hindu temple look at the divine couple with bated breath. Then the spook also arrives; the officiating priest sneezes. In the customs of Ceylon sneezing at the time of exchanging nuptial vows is frowned upon and considered as a non-starter. Now that the priest has sneezed the official wedding ceremony is postponed to the following year, so that the devotees can flock to the temple once again. This divine marriage ceremony takes place every year for centuries and had never been consummated

2. When you sneeze once it foretells a negative result; it indicates something going wrong somewhere; your enemy is plotting; your health is not in good shape.

3. When someone else sneezes when you begin to do something the result could be disastrous. When a cat sneezes when you begin to go out, you must postpone the trip; when a man sneezes hold back your steps and breathe in and out for eighteen times before you step out. When a woman sneezes, it heralds protection from the un-known so you can gladly go

4. When you sneeze twice, it means that someone is speaking about you and favourably too

5. When someone else sneezes twice, it means the matter you are thinking about or doing will be completed successfully

6. You or anyone sneezing three times consecutively and stops thereafter heralds good time and joy

7. While travelling or in meeting a person sneezing on your left or behind indicates good omen; likewise a person sneezing on your right or in front indicates a bad omen.

Dubai Bounces Back in Business

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.
