Whose Blessings You Need?

Every now and then you come across the word Blessings and you feign that you have lot of these if not only from the God but from several others whom you consider are important and capable of giving such blessings. Who can shower you blessings and whose behalf? This vexed question is answered in this blog post.

Blessings: Scriptures make blessings the prerogative of God and rightly so. All of us accept that it is the God who has created the universe and the beings within including every living organism. Having done that the God continues to shower his blessings. Undoubtedly, we need the blessings of the Lord for us to play our role as human beings on Earth.

Medium: Since the God does not personally appear to bless you, there has to be a medium found for this purpose. In Greek culture an Oracle was construed as a medium; in many Eastern cultures clairvoyance was resorted to receive the blessings of the Lord. In Hindu Culture, however, beings other than humans such as cobras were venerated in order to receive such blessings.

Message: All these media essentially started to give the blessings on behalf of the God , later as time passed by, developed into giving message of their own as well. Both types of blessings have come to be accepted. While the blessings of the Lord remains supreme, the blessings of those venerated do play a major role in human conduct.

Media Types: According to an old Tamil adage the level of authority in showering you blessings come in a typical scale: Mother, Father, Preceptor and Priest. Let me explain how each of them can pass the blessings of the Lord and their own upon you and in doing so help you in improving your life.

Mother: She is the first human being you come across when you are born; her milk of kindness is the first ever thing you taste as you emerge from her womb. In her you see an undaunted spirit as she goes through the motions of labour in bringing you out to this world. From this time onwards you are clung to your mother whether it is sunshine or rains. So much is said about her flowing kindness that even we call the world as “Mother Nature”. Her love to you cannot be ever priced. Like Mother Nature she lives a long life so much so that she is alive and kicking even you pass the age of 60. Throughout, she is at best a strong anchor and at worst a mild critic. She is the first person you should turn to get the blessings of the God; having done so ask her own blessings as well.

Father: Your love and affection towards your father goes in a see-saw pattern in your life. When you are up till 10 years old, your father remains your strength; he knows best, he is pretty smart. As you pass in age till 20 years you begin to see him as old fashioned and too old to remember how a teen would feel about. Thereafter till 30 years you are not much attached towards him, you feel he knows nothing and most often than not he acts in a clumsy manner. After 30 years you think maybe you speak to him, maybe he has plenty of experience, and maybe he has a winning style. By the time you reach 40 you regret you did not have many inter-actions with him, he is now in the heavens and you have to sort out all these without his presence. So whether your father is living or not it does not matter; seek the blessings of the God thru him and his own blessings too.

Preceptor: The word comes from Latin “Praeceptor” and relates to a teacher, guide or philosopher who is constantly at your side. Ranked third in the blessings hierarchy, a preceptor can never mar your life because he is wont in shaping life of his ward in perfect and alluring manner in keeping with the ideals of human nature and dictates of a civilized society. He can over-ride the negative aspects of your nature, marginalize negative cosmics within you and optimize your positive aspects to grow and glow. If you have done past wrongs to your mother or father or both he is in a position to advise you in correcting those misdeeds and guiding you towards loving them once again. Such is the power of the preceptor, that in Greek and Hindu mythology heroes go to their preceptors first before embarking on adventures, battles or acts of mundane nature. Hence, you should get the blessings of the God thru him and his own blessings very often. Remember a cardinal point: a woman cannot act as preceptor.

Priest: By training they are holy in nature; he is always with the God, serving the God or acts in manner that propagates the will of God. He is a safe person for you to confess all your peccadilloes as he is the best listening post you ever had. He is wise, learned in scriptures and in the art of persuasion of turning you towards achieving your goals and missions. He is circumspect and will preserve your secrecy. His plea to God is quickly answered. Therefore, go to the priest to get the blessings of the God thru him and seek thereafter his own blessings.

Full Moon February 2010

 

Full Moon February 2010 forecasts, good and bad in equal measure. In this blog post let me explain the details of the Full Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and offer you few tips for improving your life.

Astronomy

1. Full Moon: The Full Moon appears at 16.38 UTC/GMT on Sunday 28 February 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this time.

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

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 10 hour 42 minutes 16 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 4 degree 7minutes 53 seconds

3. Constellation: Sextans

4. Illumination: 99.96 per centum

5. Perigee: This is the point where the Moon is closest to the Earth in its revolution. The Moon reached the Perigee point on the previous day, that is, February 27, at 21.41 UTC/GMT when its distance from the Earth was around 222,345 miles. At the time of Full Moon, the Moon is moving away from the perigee point; consequently the pulling power is, in fact, recedes

6. Surrounding Planets: Saturn on the East in Virgo constellation; Mars towards North-west in Cancer constellation

7. Lunar Mansions: At the time of Full Moon, it is located in the Eleventh Lunar Mansion (Arabic: Al-Manzil Al-Qamar) of Al-Zubrah, which means the Mane of the Lion.

8. Star: At this time the Moon is overlooking the star Hydrobius located on the hood of the snake. The Greek word Hydrobius means “Water Dweller”. It is the brightest amongst the six stars on the hood of the snake and considered to be the most potent. Astronomically known as Zeta Hydrae, it is a bright yellow giant with a spectral class of G9III; with a magnitude of 3.11 Hydrobius showers magical yellow light that can make your pulse move faster. Located some 150 light years away, with a surface heat of 4,820 Kelvin, it is about 138 times luminous as our Sun and is about 16 times its size.

9. Asterism: The star Hydrobius is one of the six stars on the hood of the serpent known as Hydra Head Asterism. Other stars in the asterism are: Delta, Epsilon, Eta, Rho and Sigma stars, all of them in the Hydra constellation.

Cosmics

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

Positive Cosmics: More emphasis on rationality and calculation; profit or cash-flow turns out to be the only measure leaving others out; time for intellect and rational mind; more importance of law and order, compulsion on standards and ethics in business or family affairs.

Negative Cosmics: Fiery nature together with imbalance of cosmic energy of Leo and Virgo leads to temper tantrum both in office and in family affairs; Health is generally impaired; caring for others or considering the point of view of others might be skipped with disastrous consequences. Being careless could cost you more.

Improving Your Life

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

1. Apply brakes in carefree lifestyle lest you make your life miserable

2. Control your tongue and temper, otherwise you are going to make the already bad atmosphere more poisonous; this applies to both in your office and in the hone front

3. Take care of pollution from the environment, as the heat generated could spell physical discomfiture

4. For those in politics, beware of conspiracy and calculated actions of your enemies; for those in higher administration in public and private sectors, you must be careful about giving nods to unsavoury and unlawful projects or actions

5. Good time for sales and marketing guys who are bent on travelling

6. For women ill-health in general and menstrual disorders in particular could be very nasty

7. Time to get married but not time to start a new romance

8. Those in financial markets, such as stock and bonds, you would better play the field widely

9. For business men new partnerships or new ventures in technology are best plays

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

11. Fruit essence for men is blackberry; for women it is Apricot. Follow the instructions on the bottle; use two such bottles in this fortnight

12. As regards to Gems & Crystals, any yellow gems are good for this season: Yellow sapphire, Yellow topaz, Lemon topaz, Citrine, Garnet, Beryl and Zircon are generally recommended.

Are Failures Pillars of Success?

 

In our school days, we were taught a maxim: failures are pillars of success. To corroborate we were given the famous legend of Robert the Bruce, the King of Scotland, who reigned during 1306 to 1329. This brave king was fighting the war of Scottish Independence from England. Defeated consecutively and pursued by the English soldiers Robert the Bruce, the legend says, hid himself in a cave. Inside the cave he saw a spider spinning a web in the roof of it and was trying to knot from one nook to another. Failures after failures the spider finally succeeded in its effort. Inspired by this cosmic lesson, Robert the Bruce waged war once again, this time defeating the English army and finally gaining independence for Scotland.

The story apart, we were always prodded to take victory and defeat in the same stead to succeed in life. Those who flunked the Maths subject were subjected to great deal of brain-washing by our teachers. Try and try one day you will succeed was the mantra given in sufficient dose that even after our school days we go tango in trying to reach our mission against many odds.

But what happens when every thing you touch turns out to be a miserable failure? Each time you go honkers and want to make it a done thing you get the same bad result. Like president Obama you have re-set the button number of times. Still there is no sweet smell of success. What you should do? Give up? Walk away from the Situ? Throw the towel? Leave it to the Providence?

Still you have a lingering thought. Hey! This time I make it Yep! So again you try and assuage yourself nothing like trying. Then you remember somebody said “The biggest failure is not trying”. When the scorecard arrives, it is the same old story, failure once again. Finally you lose heart and ask yourself: Are Failures pillars of Success?

Now you must turn to analyse what was going on. Each time you fail you go through a system of learning and experience. Some of these are listed below:

1. The reason or reasons for the failure

2. In the same token you understand the opposite of the failure: the bases for success

3. You minutely look every angle of the issue, like a diamond merchant surveying the entire facets of a diamond

4. You take a global view, the issue at hand compared with the environment, the outside arena

5. Reasons for failure, bases of success, minute view and global view put together your learning curve has now shortened. You are in your elements now you can try once more

6. You build up faith, in you, in your ability

7. You call up your spirit, courage to make yet another shot at your desired mission

8. Now you know that you should try it differently; bringing all your strength and spirit you make a final attempt.

Alas you have failed once again in your mission; right now you should not blame yourself; neither those who are close to you such as your wife, boss, colleague nor society at large. At this point you must realise that failures are pillars of success only if you have the right Cosmics, the hidden aspects of your personality, that shape you from the time you are born.

If you act in a manner in consonance with your cosmics you succeed in your mission and in your life too. If you act in a manner contrary to your cosmics you fail in mission and in your life too. Therefore improving your chances of success in your mission and in your life depends on your understanding of the cosmics you have within you.

Do not waste any more time; understand your cosmics and start improving your life.

Jupiter Sun Conjunction February 2010

 

The annual Jupiter Sun conjunction takes place at 12.00 UTC/GMT time on February 28, 2010. You can trace your local time in reference to this. Bracing together for few moments these two planets are in Aquarius constellation at the time the event occurs. They have company of planets and stars; the location of their meeting is auspicious too. In this blog I write about the Jupiter Sun Conjunction February 2010 in terms of astronomy, stars and related cosmics in order to help you improving your life.

Astronomy

1. The conjunction takes place where Aquarius hugs the jug. In Greek mythology Aquarius is Ganymede whose job is to pour divine nectar called ambrosia to the Gods out of the jug he carries.

2. The Sun enters Aquarius constellation on February 16 and meets up with Jupiter having located itself at Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) of 22 hours, 45 minutes and 20 seconds and at the Declination (Celestial Latitude) of South 7 degree, 53 minutes and 58 seconds. After the meeting the Sun is expected to leave Aquarius on March 11, for its pleasure spot of Pisces constellation

3. The planet Jupiter enters Aquarius constellation on January 6 and meets up with the Sun having located itself at Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) of 22 hours, 46 minutes and 38 seconds and at the Declination (Celestial Latitude) of South 8 degree, 46 minutes and 40 seconds. After the meeting Jupiter will be hanging around in Aquarius till May 4, whence it moves to its home turf of Pisces constellation.

4. Both these planets have company from the planetary kingdom; Venus to the East and Mercury to the west both located at Aquarius constellation at that time

5. Both these planets have company of great stars as well. These stars are: Hydor to the East; Ancha to the West; Situla on the North; finally Sigma Aquarius towards South-east.

Stars

1. Hydor

Astronomically known as Lambda Aquari, Hydor is a variable star located at the bend of the steam of water or ambrosia, whichever pouring out of the Jar, the water carrier Aquarius holds. The Latin name Hydor means “water”. It is also known as “Ekkhysis” from Greek meaning “outpouring”. Belonging to the class of M 2 III, it is a red giant giving bright red hue. It is 390 light years away and has visual magnitude of 3.73. Rotating away from the Earth one mile per second it is a slow moving star sitting on the elliptical path. This star is surrounded by about 100 tiny stars. In Hindu mythology, the star Hydor symbolizes the God Varuna, who has several roles to play: the god of ocean and water; the deity of the Moon; the guardian of Western direction; the god who can revive the dead; Varuna is also classified as Ashura and Deva in Hindu mythology. The surrounding stars are 100 Adityas, celestial bodies born out of Goddess Adithi known for their skills as physicians

2. Ancha

Astronomically known as Theta Aquari, Ancha is located on the right rib of the water carrier. The name Ancha is derived from Latin to mean haunch and takes affinity to old French “hanche”. Belonging to the spectral class of G8 III, it is a yellow giant giving fantastic yellow light. It is 191 light years away and has visual magnitude of 4.17. Rotating away from the Earth nine miles per second it is on the ecliptical path. Often it is occulted (overshadowed) by the Moon and rarely by other planets. It is cooler than our Sun with about 5000 Kelvin surface heat

3. Situla

Astronomically known as Kappa Aquari, Situla is located on the top of the conical water jug. The name Situla is derived from classical Latin to mean water jug, urn or a bucket. The Arabic word “Al-Satl” seems to be more appropriate. Belonging to the spectral class of K2 III, it is a giant and cool star giving crimson hue. It is 234 light years away and has visual magnitude of 5.04. Rotating towards the Earth about five miles per second it is a binary star. Situla A is fairly hot with 4,550 Kelvin surface temperature and an orange k type giant whereas Situla B is fairly red and faint with a visual magnitude of 8.8. The combined effect leaves a crimson red colour emanating from the two stars

4. Sigma Aquarius

Astronomically it is Sigma Aquari and goes without a proper name. It is a binary white sub giant with the spectral class of A0 IVs. Its companion star is also white hence the brightness and whiteness of Sigma Aquarius makes it a notable star in the heaven. Located 265 light years away Sigma Aquarius is rotating towards the Earth Just about 7 mile per second.

All four stars can be easily traced in the following picture: Hydor is shown as “y” typed on reverse; Ancha is shown to the right close to Rho (p); Situla is sown up as “k” on top; Sigma Aquarius is shown on the bottom of the four stars square.

Cosmics

1. It is all about a turn around; your lifestyle is changing for better; your psycho metrics are tuning up well; your source of happiness is topping up

2. Never ending stream of water or ambrosia is in itself a mark of blessing; in Eastern cultures water jugs are known to bring good luck; in Western cultures chalice filled with wine is a symbol of wealth

3. It is a defining moment; you have to put your goals and objectives as against the background of reality; prune the irrelevant and un-achievable and improve the ones that has the chance of success

4. A change of career, business, or engagement is in the offing; moving house is best done this year

5. The Chinese may be damned right: Red is the colour of fortune. Spread lot of red around you because red symbolizes action, swashbuckling, going forward. When you do that source of income naturally spruces up

6. What about education or further education? There cannot be a better time than this year when Jupiter and the Sun both were in Aquarius and later move to Pisces; time for fun and frolic; leisure and travel; affairs and nuptials

7. Bad time for criminals, gung-ho operators and their ilk; a dragnet is spread around them and most would be caught and punished

8. Chronic ailments show some mitigation. You get 101 doctors looking at these; Swine flu is flushed out; new medicines for terminal diseases spring up

9. For those who are born during February 16 to March 11; you have a better scope in improving your life in the coming months than you ever had for the last couple of decades.

Choosing the Right Time

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

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

Freedom to Choose the Time

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

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

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

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

Capacity to Fix the Time

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

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

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

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

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

1. Convenience: Your convenience decides

2. Gut Feeling: Your gut feeling says so

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

Cosmic Time

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

New Moon February 2010

New Moon in February 2010, heralds good tidings and at the same time cautions you to take care. In this blog post let me explain the details of the New Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and offer you few tips for improving your life.

February New Moon

The New Moon appears at 2.52 a.m. GMT/UTC on Sunday 14 February 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this.

Astronomy

At this time the Moon appears to us on earth as if in conjunction with the Sun even though both are 94 arc seconds apart. The location of the Sun and the Moon along with the nearby star Deneb Algedi is given below:

The Sun

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 21 hour 50 minutes 17 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 13 degree 5 minutes 16 seconds

The Moon

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 21 hour 48 minutes 43 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 10 degree 17minutes 53 seconds

Star Deneb Algedi

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 21 hour 47 minutes 36 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 16 degree 4 minutes 49 seconds

Obviously, there is convergence of three celestial bodies rather than any conjunction. The Moon is at apogee (farther from the Earth) at about 252,310 miles away. Illuminated less than 1 percent, the Moon cannot be seen by us. Glare of the Sun apart, the Moon’s illumination is too insignificant for it to be recognized.

Capricornus Constellation

The Moon, the Sun and the star Deneb Algedi are in the Capricornus constellation. At this time both Mercury and Neptune are also in the same constellation; Neptune farther away in the East while Mercury in the West from the Moon. The Capricornus constellation is drawn like a sea-goat and is well known as “Pan” the God of flocks, shepherds, hunting and rustic music in Greek Mythology; God “Enki” in Babylonian legends; the Matsaya (Fish) Incarnation of Lord Vishnu in Hinduism ; the God ‘Osiris” of the ancient Egypt. Both the Sun and the Moon traversing through Capricornus constellation bring two opposing forces towards equilibrium. The cosmics of the Sun is, it is a hot and dry planet whereas the cosmics of the Moon is, it is a cold and moist planet. Both mix cold with warmth dryness with moisture. Therefore, this leads to level headedness prevailing in the minds of people on the one hand and overall health and fitness on the other hand.

Lunar Mansions

The New Moon arises in the twenty-forth Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al-Manzil al- Qamar) of “Al-Sad Al-Sud” ( Fortune of the Fortunate). This lunar mansion has a mixed bag. It bestows upon you mental alertness and physical fitness; you befriend new friends or get new business contacts; you can build new houses or ventures. You can also get treatment for chronic illness with more tangible results. Yet at the same time the lunar mansion has negative results as well: You have to take care of your family affairs especially about your spouse; illicit or extra marital affairs can lead to infamy; for those who are in politics they have to be careful lest they miss their steps; for those in the business flamboyant partners or fanciful projects can spell doom. In summary the mansion is fairly weighted towards good results.

Star Deneb Algedi

Located in the fish like tail of the sea-goat Capricornus, the star Deneb Algedi is a white colour one. It is a four star system with three other members. Their combined brightness makes Deneb Algedi a blue star , perhaps the brightest of all in the sky. This star is called a metallic star combining both good and bad effects: good arising from its brightness bad emanating from its location.

Improving Your Life

1. Bring more zing and zest to your lifestyle

2. Take out the moribund look and go for a face lift; see whether your dress, hair style , mannerism can be uplifted for good results

3. While talking with friends, colleagues keep both feet on the ground; crossing the legs is a taboo; ladies take notice

4. Get more of red colour into your system: eat reddish cabbage or vegetables with red colour within; my favourite is beet root; red fruits and indeed water melon would get your cosmics flow deep inside

5. The effect of the New Moon lasts for a fortnight in general; for the first week it is intense but will peter off as it reaches the Full Moon stage some 14.8 days after the New Moon; so hurry up and make hay while the Sun shines

6. Do little bit gardening, mixing earth with water; plant new saplings; uproot dried and dead ones

7. If you suffer from chronic or severe illness get additional medicine or treatment; for those who have terminal illness, be rest assured you are given a new leash of life until the Full Moon; the ambience around you gives more potassium and magnesium but less calcium. If you are calcium deficient mark this

8. Use more of white, blue or red colours in your dress and clothes

9. Pan is the God of music and hunting so commemorate him with more music and dance

10. Any chalcedony including Agate, Aventurine , Carnelian, Chrsysoprase and Onyx, can be worn as Gems & Crystals.

Are You in the Right Job?

If you ask this question yourself you will come out with quite a few vague statements: maybe, let me see, not at all, yes I think etc. If you ask this question from a personality counsellor he will ask you to go thru a quiz and thereafter give his findings almost similar to what you have already said. But if you analyse your cosmics you get the answer straightaway. In this blog post, let me explain about stars and elements that can determine what kind of job, you can do better.

Stars

When you are born you come under the influence of a star. We use the word star as a collective noun comprising of stars, planets, deep sky objects such as nebulae and clusters. Your stars are traced depending on your time of birth, date of birth and place of birth. Some of the stars are listed below along with the type of jobs to go with them:

Aldebaran: Multi-dimensional jobs

Alnilam: High corporate, political, military offices

Algol: Nursing, teaching, counselling and similar jobs

Antares: High positions in armed forces, regulatory offices, supervisory offices

Deneb: Operational jobs in aviation, telecast, satellite transmission; sales manager in electronic goods especially fridges, washing machines etc; manager or assistant in poultry or bird farming

Magrez: Owner director in companies dealing in domestic or global trade

Mebsuta: Middle or higher level jobs in large multi-nationals

Menkar: Junior to middle positions in public sector, non-government sector, service organizations or senior level manager in disaster management

Merak: Member of special task force, SWAT group, CIA, FBI and related institutions

Regulus: Any high office of commanding nature.

Elements

There are five elements: Fire, Spirit, Air, Water and Earth. Out of these, spirit is a late entry; originally the Greek philosophy restricted the study of elements to the first four only. Spirit as an element was introduced by Hindu and later Arab traditions. Spirit is often considered as a complement to or limiting factor for the other four elements. One of these elements would be predominant in your system. Depending on this predominant element you have to choose your job; only then, you are improving your life. Here are few suggestions:

Fire: Any jobs which requires quick action rather than delayed thinking; for example an aircraft pilot; any positions that involve actions blended with leadership; for example senior management jobs in companies; any jobs where strong and assertive behaviour is required; for example customs officer

Spirit: Any jobs in organizations that have the character of what Ralph Nader is doing in terms of reforming society or country in the field of consumerism, environment, political transparency, social progress etc. Middle to senior management positions in technology companies is also a key job area. Founders of most venture capital businesses have spirit as their predominant element

Air: Jobs ranging from Junior to senior grades in companies engaged in designing, lifestyle, entertainment, leisure etc. Best suited jobs are in operational or marketing areas; nonetheless, other areas such as finance and administration could also fit fairly well

Water: If water is your predominant element then it is better that you remain self-employed. You can take into music, arts & crafts, acting career, American Idol, speech, drama and other aesthetic areas. Water can sway others by their speech and actions; that is why most artists and celebrities have water as their predominant element

Earth: In case earth is your predominant element, then you suit well in thankless jobs such as police officers or jobs that involve hard work such as administrators in public or private sectors. Tough job of any kind is ok for you. Furthermore, positions of authority in municipal or state sectors where you have to meet everyday emergency could also be rewarding.

Seven Year Age Cycle

Every seven years a remarkable thing happens in your life: your age cycle changes. You leave one cycle and move on to the other. This process repeats from the time you are born till your end. Physical and mental aspects apart, the seven year age cycle influences your cosmics, matters that remain within you, perhaps unknown to you. This blog post unravels the cosmics lying beneath each of the Seven Year Age Cycles, christened with a short and apt title.

1. Tiny: This age cycle lasts from 0 to 7 years that is till your seventh birthday. During this cycle, you have company while you go to sleep; angels singing lullaby and fondly caressing you. When you move about there is always someone to take care from the heaven; angels playing with you and at times cautioning you when you go in harm’s way. Metals and talismans are generally worn to drive away any evils and in a sense effective too

2. Child: This age cycle lasts from 7 to 14 years that is till your fourteenth birthday. During this cycle you do not see angels, but divine providence is around you, a kind of aura that makes people say hello to you; bring them close to you; make them be kind to you. This stage is of mixed nature; wile incantation or recitals have influence over you, externalities such as gems & crystals do not influence you. During this cycle the child can see visions; can recognize and relate to Genie. In many cultures occultists use the medium of child for clairvoyance or oracles

3. Adolescence: This age cycle lasts from 14 to 21 years that is till your twenty-first birthday. As sexuality raises its head, cosmics take a back seat during this age cycle. Simply said, this age cycle is the reversal of the Child: you are subject to barbs and scolding both from parents and teachers; you are tuned to make use of physical and mental energies engaging in sports and education. Therefore, externalities such as gems & crystals influence you a lot. Negative cosmic attacks from the ambience could be fairly effective

4. Youth: This age cycle lasts from 21 to 28 years that is till your twenty-eighth birthday. Generally good time for marriage and sex, you are in the prime of physical fitness, mental ability and sexual arousal. On the contrary, your cosmic power wanes during this stage. Consequently you use physical energy and mental agility to relate with people and the ambience. Negative cosmic attacks from the ambience are deadly. It is necessary therefore to modify your behaviour by culling out incorrect manners and replace these with correct behaviour patterns

5. Prime Life: This age cycle lasts from 28 to 35 years that is till your thirty-fifth birthday. If you have failed to get marry during the Youth cycle, this is the second best time for settling down in your life. Well supported by topping condition of your body and mind you are popular among your colleagues and blossom as the talk of the town. During this age cycle work and enjoyment of life’s pleasures take precedence over many things. As a result, your cosmics lie low; in layman’s parlance down but not dead. Metals, gems & crystals along with behaviour modifications have larger bigger influence over you. If harnessed properly, you can make your cosmics work for you in higher education, career and business ventures

6. Middle-Aged: This age cycle lasts from 35 to 42 years that is till your forty-second birthday. Like in the prime stage, you are still stronger physically and mentally. Added to this is the waxing power of your inner-self. Slowly and gradually your cosmics start to sing and serenade. But something is missing: Direction. You need plenty of guidance to choose the best for you. Many of you would go thru the mid-life change perhaps crisis, mostly due to lack of direction. As you reach the forty-second birthday you are passing the half-way mark in your life. Note the milestone

7. Adult: This age cycle lasts from 42 to 49 years that is till your forty-ninth birthday. Your nuts and bolts need servicing; time to re-tool your techniques in doing your job or managing your family affairs. Nagging issues from sex and marriage engulf you. Besotted with negative behaviour patterns such as losing temper or laziness you are advised to supplement your physical and mental prowess with something else. That is the cosmics lying beneath you, like a curled snake inside your belly. If you open the sluice gate cosmics will rise and chase away the boredom and the adrenalin; give you a sense of power; bestows you an aura around you. You can see the change when you walk into your office. Your secretary or Admin shows much more attention than previously. Interplay of colours and aroma has a lasting effect on you during this age cycle

8. Mature Person: This age cycle lasts from 49 to 56 years that is till your fifty-sixth birthday. You have come back. Once again you are re-living your Youth and Prime age cycles put together. Few modifications to your behaviour is the order of the day. Hey! You have changed your hair style. Looks more smarty and sexy too. You crave to be prominent amongst your colleagues and want to throw your weight around in the family or in your yacht club. Two things can happen; mutually exclusive; both the guys and gals out their compliment you with the tongue in cheek or just bow down at your command. You are the symbol now some kind of an icon. Cosmics have landed

9. Golden Person: This age cycle lasts from 56 to 63 years that is till your sixty-third birthday. You bemoan why the last age cycle of Mature Person did not last long. You feel like a dropped hot potato. You still have your cylinders firing in all three departments: body, mind and soul. But few take care of your being out there. Wait a minute! You are not done yet. New relationships are blossoming especially from younger members in the opposite sex. They get galvanized by your being a golden person. Your wife and children do not care; but your neighbours do. From far way people come to see you and need your time because you are their godfather. You understand the life purpose and have immense power of cosmics. Externalities such as metals, gems & crystals give away to internalities such as incantation and recitals in influencing your system

10. Senior Citizen: This age cycle lasts from 63 to 70 years that is till your seventieth birthday. Time to retire and in many cultures this is the time to hang the boots. However much you think you have retired, you still have plenty of things to do and achieve. Besides, your spirit is ever willing and your faculties are still switched on; body may not stand the strain though. Talismans along with incantation and recitals have cosmic resonance with you.

Menkar, Star for Disaster Management

Natural and man made disasters strike many parts of the globe frequently. Immediately organizations such as Oxfam, Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies come to the rescue of the many people affected. The staff manning these service organizations have one thing in common, the influence of the star Menkar bestowing on them the ability in disaster management. In this blog post, I examine the star Menkar in terms of Astronomy, Constellation and Cosmics. Few tips are given in improving your life too.

Menkar in Astronomy

Menkar is a bright cool orange to reddish star beaming orange colour. The star was named after its original Arabic title “Al-Minkhar Al- Qaytaas” meaning “The Nostril of the Sea Monster”. It is in the Cetus constellation or simply “The Whale” constellation. Menkar is located on the Jaw of the giant whale alias sea monster. When you take the entire constellation per se it is located on the north-eastern part and rises fairly late in the eastern sky in the horizon. Due to the variability of its brightness, Astronomer Bayer was led to believe it as the brightest star in the Cetus constellation. Accordingly, he gave the alpha status to the star. Today, the star is considered as the second brightest one.

Menkar is astronomically referred to as “Alpha Ceti “. It is classified as “M 1.5 III a” indicating it is a cool orange giant and a variable star to boot. In its stellar evolution, Menkar is almost in the penultimate stage before its eventual death. Menkar has passed the early stages such as fusing hydrogen to helium, helium to carbon and now it is in the stage of contracting the remaining carbon at the core. Consequently the star is shedding its outer layers made of hydrogen. Once this stage is passed, Menkar is set to explode as a planetary nebula. Thereafter, perhaps the remaining rump part of the star could turn out to be a large white dwarf star.

A third magnitude star in brightness in the scale at 2.5, Menkar is located in Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 3 hour 2 minutes and 49 seconds and Declination (Celestial Latitude) 4 degree 7 minutes and 44 seconds north. Menkar has surface temperature of 3,700 Kelvin and is about 380 times luminous than the Sun. It is about 220 light years away and about 84 times the size of the Sun. It is a horizon star and is moving away from earth at a speed of 16 miles per second. Menkar is known for special features:

1. Its brightness vary in an irregular manner; being a giant star it is given an astronomical short hand “Lb “ which conveys to the laymen “ the brightness of this giant star varies in irregular manner “

2. Menkar emits radio waves as a result of cool winds on its surface. This may also have caused the orange colour beamed from the star throughout despite its variability of its brightness

3. Menkar is the last important star to rise in the Cetus constellation as it is located in the north-eastern part of Cetus

4. Menkar has steadily and greatly lost its carbon content after it entered the third stage of contracting carbon at the core. This means that Menkar is on the fast track to become a planetary nebula compared with other stars.

Cetus Constellation

Let me say few things about Cetus constellation. The word Cetus comes from Latin, meaning a whale. According to Greek Legend it all started when Cassiopeia queen of Cepheus, the King of Ethiopia, boasted that her beauty surpasses that of the sea nymphs Nereids. Hearing this impertinent statement, Poseidon (Neptune in Latin), the Lord of the ocean and father of the Nereids sent storms to ravage the Ethiopian sea coast. When Cepheus consulted the Oracle he was advised that as atonement for the vanity of his queen he must chain his daughter Andromeda in the sea to be devoured by the sea monster Cetus, who appears in the form of a Giant Whale. Later on Cetus is seen travelling towards Andromeda, the virgin who is chained to the rock to be devoured by him. Before Cetus can finish his job, Perseus the hero appears. He has in his hand the Head of Gordon Medusa. Perseus shows this head to Cetus; on seeing Medusa, Cetus is turned into a stone. There the sea monster lies eternally.

On the contrary, Gerardus D Bouw, writing in Biblical Astronomer No 104, traces the Cetus story from Nineveh, the Assyrian capital city on the bank of the Tigris River that was revived by God after the Ninevites repented as preached by Prophet Jonah. Obviously, the whale that swallowed Jonah could easily be traced to Cetus.

Whatever the story is, Cetus constellation is largely a southern constellation with few stars above the celestial equator. It is fourth largest constellation in the known sky. This constellation has several notable stars: Deneb Kaitos, Menkar , Baton Kaitos, Al Kaf Al Jidhmah, Deneb and Mira.

Cosmics

Menkar is located just above the celestial equator and always rises in the horizon. It can influence a person in four counts:

1. Birth star sighted by the Moon

2. Lucky star sighted by one of the other six planets

3. Rising star

4. Culminating star

Positive Cosmics

1. Menkar makes you a ‘service to humanity” person. You have charitable nature in helping affected people during calamities. It can be natural disaster such as an earthquake or a man made disaster such as arson. Whatever the nature of the disaster you are one of the few to rush in with whatever help you can garner

2. Though you often languish in the cocoon shelf of your office when the moment arrives you rise to the occasion with speed and agility second to none

3. Quick analysis is your hallmark and moving men and logistics under trying conditions is the task made for you

4. You will not easily give up in your actions be it in the office or in the sports ground. Your enthusiasm never fades

5. Plump, fat with an over sized belly and besotted with un-combed hair you are, in appearance wise an anti-thesis to the heroes in the celluloid films; but when it comes to work you are marvellous and often get adulation from many quarters.

Negative Cosmics

1. The chief negative is that you are too emotional; if anything is denied you are going to take it up grudgingly and wait for the moment to demonstrate that the other party is simply wrong

2. You can be caught in a web of deceit especially in relation to financial scandals or in extra marital affairs

3. You are prone to major accidents resulting in the loss of life or limb; you are also susceptible to major breakdowns in terms of health

4. As you tread the path of helping people in the throes of crisis the chance of tripping onto electricity wire or stung by venomous snakes or attacked by hyenas and other predators cannot be over-emphasized.

Improving Your Life

The following are few recommendations to improve your life:

1. You should select white, green orange and light colours for your dress

2. Numbers 1, 5 & 8 do wonders for you

3. You must sleep, keeping your head towards the south -east

4. You must join social services or disaster management or special services organizations

5. Single marriage lasts till end

6. It would be better for you to be in the public service or work for a Non-Governmental Organizations(NGO)

7. You should use the combination of alphabets “H “ in name or user name or pet name

8. You must develop lifestyle where your suitcase is stuffed and ready to fly away on call. Like in the Lyrics of a Jim Reeves number “ I hear the sound of distant drums” you wait for the mobile to ring for the call of duty

9. During leisure, enjoy at home peacefully.

Merak, Star that Girds Up Your Loin

Are you prepared for action at any time like the legendary SWAT Team? If yes, you have something to do with the star Merak, a fabulous star in the north-eastern sky ever so present to keep you ever so prepared. In this blog post, I examine the star Merak in terms of Astronomy, Asterism and Cosmics and outline recommendations for improving your life.

Astronomy

Merak is a bright hot star beaming with white colour tinged in green shade in the north eastern sky. The word Merak comes from Arabic “Al-Maraak Al- Dubb Al- Akbar” meaning “the Loin of the Great Bear”. It is located in Ursa Major constellation or simply “Great Bear” constellation. Merak is a part of seven star combinations known as Big Dipper Asterism. Fabulously dazzling in colour, Merak is the fifth brightest star in the Great Bear constellation, even though Astronomer Bayer in his classification gave the second place to the star by allotting the Greek letter Beta.

Merak is astronomically referred to as “Beta Ursa Major“. It is classified as A1V indicating it is white dwarf main sequence star like our Sun, fusing hydrogen to helium in its core. A third magnitude star in brightness in the scale of at 2.3, Merak is located in Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 11 hour 2 minutes and 27 seconds and Declination (Celestial Latitude) 56 degree 19 minutes and 41 seconds. Merak has surface temperature of 9,600 Kelvin and is about 70 times luminous than the Sun. It is about 70 light years away and about 3 times the size of the Sun. It is fairly a northern star and is moving away from earth at a speed of 7.5 miles per second. Merak is known for various features:

1. As a Pointing star: if you draw an imaginary line from Merak thru Dubhe and go up North you would arrive at the Polar Star

2. As a star with a Disk: Like the planet Saturn, the star Merak has a cooling disk surrounding it; It gives an excellent colour combination of white with greenish tinge. Various theories abound for this phenomenon. One is that the surrounding area has heated dust that gives infra-red light translating into a fascinating colour; the other is that the star Merak might have a planet orbiting it

3. Merak is located 56 degree north; therefore it is a circumpolar star that is, never setting for those who live in areas 30 degrees north

4. In close proximity to Merak, but towards the west there is a planetary nebula known as “Owl Nebula” classified as NGC 3587 or Messier Object M 97.

Asterism

Merak 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”. The seven stars in the asterism are: Dubhe, Merak, Megrez, Phekda, Alioth, Mizar and Alkaid. In Hindu mythology the asterism is called Saptha Rishi (Seven Stages) and they are represented as stars in the following manner: Kratu as Dubhe; Pulaha as Merak ; Atri as Megrez; Pulastya as Phekda; Angiras as Alioth; Vasishta as Mizar; Bhrigu as Alkaid. Out of these sages, Pulaha personified as Merak was born from the Navel of the God Brahma.

Cosmics

Merak 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, Merak can influence your life as a rising star or a culminating star only. However, the effect of the star Merak 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 Merak never sets and to those who are born in locations below 30 degree south the star Merak never rises.

Positive Cosmics

1. Merak girds up your loin; you are always ready for action; you are blessed with the ability to take stock of the situation, develop your strategies and tactics, implement these in optimum manner and go towards your stated goals

2. Merak gives you uncanny wisdom appropriate for those who are to make decision at the spur of the moment like members of the legendary SWAT Team, Commandos, Business Negotiators and CEOs of large corporations

3. Merak also gives you smart look; bright in outlook; taking responsibility and always moving forward

4. Merak gets you the pleasures of life but as you start to enjoy there is a call from your boss or office to handle another assignment. Like James Bond in the movie you have little time to enjoy the plums of life that is spread all over you.

Negative Cosmics

1. You need to put lot of acting under pressure or under a guise; hence real love and fondness escape from you

2. You can be caught in a web of deceit

3. You will also develop erratic behaviour pattern in sex, family and business relations as time goes on.

Improving Your Life

The following are few recommendations to improve your life:

1. You should select white, green and light colours for your dress

2. Numbers 2, 5 & 8 do wonders for you

3. You must sleep, keeping your head towards the south -west

4. You must join special services in the armed forces

5. Marriage through love at first sight is shown, but bewares of it

6. Any business where quick decision making is involved could fit your bill

7. You should use the combination of alphabets “S “and “L” in your name

8. You must develop lifestyle to go with “on the job and always moving scenario”

9. During leisure, be homely as far as possible because you are having enough out door activities; now is the time to look at the home front and to look after the welfare of your family.
