New Moon March 2010

New Moon in March 2010 reflects a great degree of expectations in you about your business and family. What is the chance of these hoped for items materializing? In this blog post let me explain the details of the New Moon in terms of astronomy and cosmics and give you few hints for improving your life.

March New Moon

The New Moon appears at 21.01 (GMT/UTC on Monday 15 March 2010. You have to trace your local time in reference to this.

Astronomy

At this time the Sun and the Moon are more than five arc minutes apart and any chance of a conjunction is averted. The location of the Sun and the Moon is given below:

The Sun

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 23 hour 42 minutes 16 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) South 1 degree 55 minutes 12 seconds

The Moon

Right Ascension (Celestial Longitude) 23 hour 36 minutes 55 seconds

Declination (Celestial Latitude) North 2 degree 10minutes 34 seconds

The Moon on March 12 is at apogee (farther from the Earth) at about 252,382 miles away. However, by the time it reaches the New Moon stage it has reduced the distance to about 248,897 miles away from the Earth. 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.

Pisces Constellation

At the time of the New Moon stage, there are four planets in the Pisces constellation: The Sun, the Moon Venus and Mercury. The last two planets are to the eastern direction; Venus being much farther from the location of the Moon.

The Pisces constellation is drawn like a pair of two fishes. The Western fish is horizontal and the Northern fish is vertical in shape. A string connects both fish. Mythologically the Pisces is connected to Euphrates River. In Greco Roman tradition, Aphrodite (Venus) who is Goddess of Beauty and Eros (Cupid) who is God of Love turned themselves into a pair of fish to escape from the atrocious Typhon who is pursuing them and swam unto the depths of water. In order to stay united they tied their tails together with a string. The Babylonians considered the fish as the Goddess Atagartis emerging out of a giant egg from the depths of Euphrates. Turkic, Persian and Assyrian mythology have alluded to the Pisces constellation in similar vein. Pisces is significant today because the Vernal Equinox point lies within it pretty close to the star Iota Piscium

Star Iota Piscium

A unique star located on the neck of the western fish, Iota Piscium has a visual magnitude of 4.10 along with a spectral type of “F7V”. It is a white to yellow dwarf main sequence star located about 45 light years away. About 3.3 times luminous than the Sun it is wee bit bigger than the Sun. The star is considered to be unique and enigmatic for the following reasons:

1. It is one of the seven stars that form the Circlet of Fish Asterism. This asterism connects all seven stars from the mouth of fish towards its neck. The stars are: Gamma, Beta, Theta, Iota, Lambda, Kappa and 19 Piscium all in the Western fish within the Pisces constellation

2. Iota Piscium is the star that starts the cord that connects the head of the Western fish to its own tail. Moreover, the cord runs from Iota Piscium to the Northern fish as well

3. Vernal Equinox is located just below the star on the south-easterly direction

4. Lot of expectations about the star Iota Piscium never materialized:

a) It was considered as a variable star but changes of its luminosity is yet to be determined

b) It was considered to have planets rotating around it; nothing was ever found

c) It was considered to have stars in orbit around; still illusionary

Lunar Mansions

The New Moon arises in the twenty-fifth Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al-Manzil al- Qamar) of “Al-Saad Al-Ahbiyah” (The Fortune of the Hidden). This lunar mansion is fairly negative out of 28 lunar mansions, and dashes the hopes of many. Although you see progress in life lot of these could be transient. Cosmic interference in your affairs is heavily pronounced during this cycle of Moon. The severity abates as Sun passes the Vernal Equinox and could disappear completely by the time of Full Moon stage a fortnight later.

Cosmics

Both the Sun and the Moon traversing through Pisces constellation along with Venus and Mercury as partners help bringing you much needed equilibrium. In theory, the cosmics of the Sun as a hot and dry planet and the cosmics of the Moon as a cold and moist planet should lead you to safeguard your balanced approach in anything you do. In practice, it depends on how you face up to the given situations and tone down your expectations. The only area where you can get best results is in your health. If you suffer from chronic or severe illness go full swing and get the best medical treatment. Even for those who have terminal illness, this New Moon could bring hoped for cure at best or mitigation of suffering at worst.

Improving Your Life

1. Like what dig. com says “Patience, my friend, is a good virtue”

2. Avoid family disunity or business break-downs; do not let one spouse bringing the roof down

3. Travel-crazy lifestyle helps if you are going abroad; even for domestic travel it does help taking out the boredom away and keep you away from trouble spots

4. Bagful of expectations need to be whetted during the course of this New Moon; do not get disappointed when hoped for results are not forthcoming

5. Hot and dry climate prevails outside and you have to cool yourself much more

6. Yellow with black border in upper garments is the colour combination recommended for many; women should relish dresses that fuses both these colour shades in top and bottom dresses

7. Modest lifestyle is recommended so as to uplift the sense of patience and neutralize the angst and anger within you

8. Get more of yellow colour into your system: eat more yellow vegetables; savour fruits that are yellowish; sweets and pudding in yellow are ok

9. 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

10. Good time for educational pursuits and seeking medical assistance; not ideal to start romance or getting married

11. As regards to Gems & Crystals, yellow gems are good for this season: Yellow sapphire, Yellow topaz, Lemon topaz, Citrine, Garnet and Beryl could do fine. Beautiful Agate, Black Onyx, Black Spinel and Rainbow Obsidian are emphasised for those who like black hue.
