ARIES & Health

Aries Rules the Head

Aries is a sign of fire. It rules the head area of a human being. This sign has an internal, external and structural relationship. Internally, Aries rules the brain and nervous system, carotid arteries; externally the cranium, jaw and facial bones.

Externally, the rulerships are more complicated and other parts of the head and face are ruled by Taurus and Scorpio and all of the planets rule various other parts.

In Aries, the Sun rules the right eye in the male, the left eye in the female, while the Moon rules the left eye in the male and right eye in the female. Aries is subject to all kinds of head complaints – sinusitis, headaches, tooth and gum afflictions, baldness and are prone to accident or injuries to the head and face.

Each and every color has its own effect on human psychology, Each color has its own meaning and I have studied over the years that they affect individuals in their own manner. Here I will try to tell in short how each color effects human psychology.

Taking into consideration the color GREEN -

It is very soothing color. It gives a relaxing effect on human psychology. It helps in overcoming the depressions.You must have noticed that when you go to forests or are in your garden it refreshes your mind. Similarly use of green color is refreshing in the interiors of the house too.

Taking into consideration the place for green color we can use different shades of green, as per our choice, to bring brightness in our home. It offers a sense of renewal, self control and harmony. But too much use of this color can also bring negative emotions in the house. So before using the colors the direction and amount of color to be used in the house should be taken into consideration.
It is good to use green plants in the house as besides soothing they bring in lot of positive energy. If you go out in the garden or watch green trees and plants they are very beneficial for your eyes too. Green color has medicinal quality of relaxing your nerves too.
But every color has a direction and place so,its best to consult a vastu consultant before using the colors in your home.

Vastu as you all know plays a very important role in our life. We might be facing many problems without knowing the reason. In today’s time when computers are part of our life we must know thaT which all things should be kept in mind while working on computer. More tips you can read in my website www.ritubalaastrology.com Vastu tips are beneficial for our health also.If vastu principles are followed properly, then we can see a positive change in our health too. here I am telling few vastu tips which me must keep in our mind while working on computers. We must take care of following things, which will not only help us in taking care of our health but also remove the negative energy. More tips I will be giving later-

1. Always while working on computers or even while watching television, make sure that there is plenty of natural light in the room. So that it dilutes the light energy which comes from the computer screen. But if natural lighting is not possible, or if the computer is being used at night,then the use of full spectrum light bulbs should be
used.

2. As we know that plants produce negative ions.Computers produce positive ions. So the energy which promotes greater mental clarity gets affected. By having living plants in the room especially near the computer will help in neutralizing the positive ions produced by the computers.

3.Place an amethyst crystal (size is not important)on top of the computer or monitor or near the computer.The Amethyst Crystal helps in re-directing the energy of the computer away from you

4. Move your eyes in and around the room in between , to relax your eyes.

Medical Astrology

Health has been nearly everyone’s concern and with age health problems do start increasing. Medical astrology for human being, begins with the analysis of different organs of a human body in respect to its dependence and influence of various planets. As we know that every person does not have the same health problem even in same sun sign. It is because of the effect of placement of different planets in the horoscope.Here we have tried to differentiate our body into 12 parts and their dependence on different planets individually or collectively. Here I will be giving a brief description of the various parts of human body which are effected by the placement of various planets in our horoscopes. It is as follows:-

1. Head & Brain - Mars

2. Eye, Ear, Nose & Throat - Venus

3. Heart & Lungs - Mercury

4. Hands - Moon

5. Upper abdomen - Sun

6. Lower abdomen - Mercury

7. Genital organs - Venus

8. Rectum & Anus - Pluto & Mars

9. Thigh - Jupiter

10. Knee - Saturn

11. Leg - Uranus & Saturn

12. Feet - Neptune & Jupiter

Thus we see that different planet has its effect on different part and the planet that will be debilitated in one’s horoscope will give ill effect on that part of the body. If we know which all planets are debilitated and are having ill- effect we can reduce the health illness to quite an extent. To know which all are your debilitated planets and what one should do to reduce the intensity of that planet consult me through my website www.ritubalaastrology.com

In small homes it often becomes difficult to keep things as per vastu rules and also in a tidy way.A small space can give a cozy feel but it can create a problem if it is cluttered with too much stuff.Many people who live in small houses or apartments face such problems due to cluttered space. Here are some easy-to-do tips which will make your space clean, clutter free and organized manner and also apply the vastu principles.

1. Clear all clutter in the room.A small space looks untidy if cluttered with lots of things. To make the room organized clear unnecessary stuff from small space. Place all essential articles on shelves and find out ways to get the stuff organized behind doors, table skirts. When the things are neatly arranged and out of sight, the small space will look orderly and more open. Trust me, a shelve with one showpiece can some time look a lot better than ten showpieces on it.But keep in mind that these shelves should not be in north east of your room.

2. Organize furniture properly.It’s uncomfortable to live in room where articles of furniture are unorganized. Slim rockers, open back chairs or love seat sofas rather than large furniture tend to save the space. While arranging furniture, place taller furnishings at the end of the room opposite its entrance. Before you place or buy furnishings, keep in mind the size of your rooms also. For spacious feel, utilize the furniture that has matching colors with the color of walls. There should be balance of dark and light shades to create a positive energy.

3. Use multipurpose furniture.To make small space cozy and enjoy the feel of big space, utilize multipurpose furniture like ottomans and folding items. Ottomans are very useful for small spaces because they are used as table or as foot rest and can easily be moved around the room. Futons and sofa beds are space saver as they can be converted into bed whenever needed. Use folding tables or folding sofas to provide space for dining. A small dresser or chest beside bed can be used to keep jewelry, books and other small things and to save the space.bed should be in south west of your room.

4. Make use of light colors.Light colors give spacious feel rather than dark or warm colors like blue, green and mauve, pinks and yellow do. Pick out white and cream to maximize the sense of space. For stunning effects, utilize varying tones of same colors for upholstered fabrics, textured wall finishes etc. Interior designers recommend that dark color furniture and accessories make the space look dramatic and maximize the neutral white also. You can select such shades of colors on walls as are relaxing at night and cheer up the mood during day.

5. Opt for natural or artificial lighting.Lighting plays major role in maximizing the space of your room/home. You can opt for natural or artificial lighting to make your room look larger. Open outside windows to let natural light enter your room. Track or recessed lighting can be used to make small space look bigger. To reflect light and maximize the feel of space, you can make use of a large frame mirror on a wall or stand a large frame mirror against the wall. Accent and fluorescent lighting are used to create soothing and refreshing atmosphere in the room. But before placing the mirror do see that which part or what items are being reflected in the mirror. A bed should not reflect in the mirror otherwise it will bring illness.

6. Use plain upholstery & light fabrics as they grab everyone’s attention. Make use of upholstery of plain color for furniture instead of dark colors, bold plaids or stripes to save the space. To create interest and stick to neutral tones, make use of textures. Apply soft floral vines or simple stripes to keep the space look simple. Usually yellow and white colors are good for everyone but before using other colors do see that they are suiting and are beneficial for all the family members or not. As colors play a vital role in your home. For colors read my other articles in my blog and website www.ritubalaastrology.com.

7. Fix large drawers & cabinets. Drawers and cabinets are very useful to store lots of things and make space clutter free. Large drawers built in bed are very useful for storage of things. You can use the space beneath bed with separate wheeled drawers that can be pushed under and pulled out. Provide high level cabinets to store the articles used occasionally. Use separate cabinets for hanging clothes and store other items. Recessed open shelves can be made into walls for placing colorful items without taking extra space.
try not to have any shelf in the north east direction.

8. Fix practical worktops. Good worktops provide ease at work besides saving the space. Utilize a ridge up on the top of your stove to put small items like spices and tiny objects that usually hang about on counter top in the kitchen. To make working comfortable, ensure that the levels of worktops and sinks are adjusted to suit your height. Keep shelves clean and sleek and avoid unnecessary old fashion decoration. Make an acrylic sheet or marble stone corner under open space in kitchen to store detergents etc.
avoid black marble in the kitchen.

9. Utilize rod for clothes and bedding.Rods are better option for hanging clothes and bedding’s because your closets don’t have extra space for them. This will save the space of another closet in your room.

10. Apply more space saving tips if you can.There are some more things that you can do to save the space and make your room clutter free. For example install sliding doors instead of hinged doors. Place furniture items at an angle with wall since they help in making room look bigger. Television should be mounted on wall to save the space. The color of curtains or blinds is similar to the color of walls. Utilize light colors for floors of small bedroom to make it spacious. try to keep things covered, as they then do not make a poison arrow.

But while applying all these tips you must keep in mind the directional vastu in your mind. Like, water items should be kept in north direction only whether it is of house or room. similarly fire or eclectic items should be kept in south east directions preferably.

RED COLOR

Red color is known for its vitality and zest. It displays warmth and enlightens your mood the moment you look at it. Due to the qualities it possesses, red is one of the favored colors to be used at home. Red represents power and valor. It is dramatic in mood, emotional, active and ignites passion and desire. It enlivens the interior space and creates excitement and enthusiasm for life. However, red should not be used in the bedroom, as it is too energizing. When used in bedroom, it can be overpowering and stressful for the ones anxious by nature.

As most of you must be aware that solar eclipse will be on 15th of January this year . There will be two solar eclipse.

The first one will be on 15th Jan. Astrologically this will affect the zodiac - Capricorn. So people having this zodiac should offer prayers and donate as per their desire to nullify the effect of this eclipse.

This eclipse will be visible in Africa, Kenya, Somalia,South East Europe, Middle East, India ,
Sri Lanka, China and other parts of south East Asia etc.
A solar eclipse occurs at the time of the new moon when both sun and moon occupy the same degree of the zodiac. Having the sun and moon in the same area of your chart suggests that the energy will be amplified and directed to matters governed by that house in your birth chart. A solar eclipse signifies a fresh start which can also bring about radical change, like a new chapter beginning in your life. The effects of a solar eclipse are shown in the outward expression of our circumstances and can present us with very exciting and joyous developments. What develops due to a solar eclipse will be visible to you and others in your life. On the other hand, if a solar eclipse afflicts planets in your birth chart, the message of the eclipse could present a challenge that must be overcome before something new develops.

This is one of the major solar eclipse which is occurring after many years and so people all over the world are curious to see it. I pray for the well being of everyone and may it be good for each one of you.

Lunar Eclipse on August 6th, 2009

Tonight, across most of the United States, star-gazers will be able to see the a rare lunar eclipse. This will be the second lunar eclipse of the summer and a series of 5 eclipses this year. I wonder if that is a lot or not? It seems like it to me. You can see the path of the eclipse.

So, what exactly is a lunar eclipse as opposed to a solar eclipse, etc.? A lunar eclipse happens when the moon passes behind the Earth blocking the suns rays. The earth, moon and sun have to be aligned very closely so that the earth is in the middle, thus causing the effect.

Astrologers have traditionally thought ill of the lunar eclipse. Since the lunar cycles supposedly impact our emotions and thought processes, any disruption to that cycle is thought to be bad. They are a bad omen and (it’s thought) tends to lead to domestic strife, especially amongst women (I’m not making this up, I swear).

I believe that just about anyone in the United States who is east of the Rocky Mountains will be able to enjoy this somewhat rare occasion. I plan on taking my kids outside to have a glimpse if possible. I always enjoy teaching the kids something about science, especially if they might just sit down and shut up for 10 seconds. Did I say that out loud? In any event, enjoy the lunar eclipse and may it not portend your doom!

Many times it happens that things start going wrong in your house and you are not able to

understand why all of a sudden all this is happening though your house maybe as per

fengshui or vastu.There are certain features in your external environment that can

adversely effect the Feng Shui of your house or building. These are called

“poison arrows” which may be responsible for ill-fortune which can be in the form of

robbery, legal entanglement or serious ailment etc. It is, therefore, necessary to

identify the not so obvious poison arrows in your environment and

deal with them.

The poison arrow pointing at your main door could be a straight long road forming a

T- junction. This brings dangerous chi into your house. Other locations where chi is too

strong, are houses on the dead end of a street or those on curved roads. The harmful

effect of hitting chi can be neutralized by means of Feng Shui cures.

The ‘poison arrow’ coming from a westerly direction can be set right by placing a

spotlight above the door pointing towards the road. Whereas the cure for a south road is

to place a large boulder between the door and the road. An electric pole or a large single

tree outside your main gate also acts as a ‘poison arrow’. Flyovers and bridges with fast

moving traffic can also generate negative energy around your house. Trouble can come in

the form of a new building in your neighborhood also.So there can be many reasons and all

this has to be analyzed properly and then remedies are done accordingly. To know more

remedies you can visit my website http://www.ritubalaastrology.com

As you all know that we keep hearing that there is an eclipse -either solar or lunar- in this series this time there are going to be three eclipse in one month. Many people are seeing them as destructive one.
The first is lunar eclipse was - 07th July 2009. In this series the second eclipse will be solar eclipse which will be on 22nd July 2009 and then the third one again a lunar eclipse on 6th August.

Eclipse which was on July 7, 2009, was visible in Australia, the Pacific and Americas. The solar eclipse on July 22, 2009 will be visible in India, Nepal, China and Central Pacific and the lunar eclipse on August 6, 2009 will be visible in America, Europe, Africa and West Asia.

Three eclipse in one month, so many astrologers are worried about it too.As in our ancient literature this happened during the Mahabharata war. So it is after many years that such a situation is coming. For the present eclipses, we must note some very important point before we reach to any conclusion.

Firstly, both the lunar eclipses on 7th July as well as 6th August are Penumbral which means
partial and not fully darkening the Moon’s light. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse is not regarded as eclipse for astrological as well as religious purpose, so should not be used for any astrological predictions. Any astrologer making lunar eclipses of this year as a basis of his astrological predictions is making a mistake. Also the magnitudes of Lunar eclipses are so less that it is almost insignificant even for astronomical purposes.
Yes the solar eclipse which will be on 22nd July will be having astrological effect. Though prayers should definitely be done during the time of eclipse. And especially on 22nd July.

We all need to wait and watch the effect of these eclipses. I wish happiness, health and wealth for you all my friends. Of course don’t forget to remember God….After all He is the master. May God bless you all….

HERE IS SOME PIECE OF INFORMATION ABOUT MARS THAT i WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL.

Maybe no one will get much sleep in August. It will be due to the planet Mars .

* The Red Planet is about to be spectacular!
* This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history.
* The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.
* Due to the way Jupiter’s gravity tugs on
Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be
certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth
in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as
60,000 years before it happens again.

The encounter will culminate on August 27th when
Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and
will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in
the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9
and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide.
* At a modest 75-power magnification

Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.
Mars will be easy to spot.
At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m.
and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.

By the end of August when the two planets are
closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its
highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That’s pretty
convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at
the beginning of August to see Mars grow
progressively brighter and brighter throughout the
month.

Usually a bathroom is considered as most neglected place of all but in reality, a bathroom, is a place where one gets refreshed….all the tiredness wades away. Every morning before starting the days work one takes a shower to relax his or herself. And similarly after a hectic and tiresome day one takes a bath to relax at night. So bathroom holds a special place in our house.

Colors for bathroom

A soothing color refreshes our body and mind and adds to the grace of bathroom. Stimulating color schemes like blue, orange turn your bath into rapture. So use colors accordingly and also see that, that particular color is lucky for you and your family or not.

Bathroom is a place of recreation rather than a simply being a pace to bathe.

A well decorated bathroom adds to the pleasure of having bath. A nicely adorned bathroom lets you enjoy real bath and refreshes your body and mind to work for the day.So it should be kept neatly. As cleanliness attracts positive energies.

Bathroom Lights

Bathroom lighting enlightens your bathroom as well as your mood. Proper lighting in bathroom creates the desired effect as you always want. A well lit bathroom looks simply great and ensures your safety too. Though these days lot of other types of lights are also being used in the bathrooms which at night gives an effect of stars…..So choose the lights as per your requirement. The thing that u must keep in mind as per vastu is that you should not have the electrical point in the north or the north east side. It is best to have it on the south east part of your bath room.

Water

Water taps or showers should preferably be in the north direction and if not then in north east direction. It should never be towards the south east direction.

These are few important things that u must keep in mind while planning your bathroom. Enjoy a relaxing bath….

Besides this we must also see the location of the bathroom, which also plays an important role.

It should give positive energies to all those who use this room.If a drawing room is full of positive energy then it not only gives a positive energies to the guests but also to the inmates of the house also. So,while decorating this room few things should be taken care of as per fengshui.

2. The windows should open towards outside and not inside the house. This is easy when the room is near the main entrance.

3. There must not be doors and windows behind the sofa set. So the sofa sets should be kept in such a manner that there is wall behind the sofa set.

5. Rooms should be decorated in such a manner that it gives positive energies to the person sitting in the room. It should not be overdone.

6. Cluster of things should not be kept as they bring in negative energies. Useless things should be removed from the room.

HOROSCOPE FOR THE MONTH OF FEBURARY

Aries

This month money will be important. There is a major investment that you know could generate a significant return, but you need to find the funds to invest. Be careful in your official matters, otherwise you may face problems. Romance will be a little overwhelming as someone is feeling a lot more emotionally expressive than you.

Taurus

You are confident and though confidence is always a good, but it can be misleading too. Do not do anything just because you feel positive that it will work out. Your luck may not be very much with you as expected. An advice is important this month so don’t be afraid to ask for it. A close friend may need a lot of emotional support from you especially at the beginning of this month.

Gemini

Patience is the key word this month. A loved one will continue to be demanding this month and this will put a strain on your patience levels. Work or school is also proving difficult right now and what you really need is some fun. Luckily this will arrive courtesy of an old friend although you may have to wait till the end of the month. You need to take care of your health this month.

Cancer

You need to be careful this month. Though you will be in an assertive mood this month. Use this new freedom to express your true feelings about certain issues, in your key relationships. But there can be misunderstanding with the opposite sex, especially with your spouse. So deal things with patience. Discipline is needed when it comes to money and you may need the support of a friend in this area.

Leo

Be your own self. Remember that in your relationships it is your personality and not your wallet that people are really interested in. You have being too extravagant lately and you need to cut back a little on your spending. This will help you understand who your true friends and also you will need funds for your health related problems which may occur. Be careful from your enemies as they may try to harm you.

Virgo

As emotionally, this is a very cosy month for you so you can relax. As you will be experiencing feelings of mutual contentment and understanding. However, there is a danger that you may put this at risk by continuing to focus too much on more materialistic concerns. Be careful as regarding your children. They may need extra care this month.

Libra

You should be feeling fully refreshed right now and so this is a great time for starting new projects, particularly if they have a practical element to them. Your love life is a little complicated right now and you need to make some decisions about your future even if you are reluctant to do so. Your family needs attention; otherwise there can be break ups too.

Scorpio

You need to take care of your younger brothers and sisters. They might need your support. Although you would never admit it, like all Scorpios you have a deeply competitive streak running through your personality. You need to keep an eye on this tendency now or it could cause problems within a friendship. Romance will be tricky as you feel emotionally distant.

Sagittarius

Your spirits are high. Your energy levels are at their peak right now and you may be tempted to bite off more than you can comfortably chew. Don’t let yourself get pulled in too many directions right now. Focus on one thing and give it your best shot. Do not be extravagant. Also control your anger. Romance may blossom at the end of the month.

Capricorn

Be careful this month. Be careful about your health. Take special precautions as regarding your health. Your over riding concern with success in the material sense is put on hold as the planets put you in touch with your sense of fun. This is a great time for putting the passion back into a relationship. If you are single then this month will see you gaining a number of admirers. But be careful this month.

Aquarius

Money matters are looking very positive right now and so inevitably there is a desire to spend. However, it would be wiser to hold onto your cash until something that you really need comes along. Be careful with your money. Losses can occur. Emotionally, you are feeling a little down mid month and a friend should be able to put things right.

Pisces

This is considered as the wisest zodiac of all signs. This month, though, there is a danger that you will let your own feelings get in the way of sensible decision making. Rash words at the start of the month may have repercussions later on. Income may get set backs. So be careful with your month.

This year the Chinese New year begins from 26 th Jan 2009. This is an year of the OX and the element is water.
The Chinese New Year is celebrated as the symbol of springs celebration. It is celebrated after the fall harvest and before the spring planting season. It varies every year. For determining the date of the new year some astrological calculations are taken into account. Also, The date of the new moon is taken as the first day of the new year.
There are twelve animals of Chinese Zodiac viz. Rat, Ox ,Tiger,Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat/Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig/Boar. Each corresponds a direction in the compass.
This year 2009 Is Ox year. Those born in this year are reliable, logical and trust worthy, but have low public relation skills. They are at times stubborn too.
As ox is slow therefore this year the work progress will be slow. The element being water is not very compatible with Ox therefore people will face problems this year. But this year in general will be better then the last year.

So I wish each and every one of you happiness prosperity and peace…..in this New Year.

Today i.e on 14th Jan.2009 four planets are conjunct in one house, i.e Capricorn. These four planets are Jupiter, which is retro grate, Rahu, Sun and Mercury.The conjunction of these four planets in one house will leave ill effect for all those in whose horoscope these planets are placed in bad position. Though, mostly all of these planets being malefic planets will cause problems to everyone. It will not be a very good period for mostly everyone. Jupiter being a good planet but as it is retro grate may not show favorable results to those who have a good positioning of Jupiter. To avoid problems one must donate as per his or her desire. Donation of black things, or even coins is very helpful for everyone.

Exact effect on each individual can be retrieved only after analyzing one’s horoscope. For detailed study visit my website www.ritubalaastrology.com or www.astrofutureinsight.com

Indian Vedic Horoscope is not much understood by those knowing about sun sign. As I had also mentioned earlier that Indian vedic astrology is based on placement of moon at the time of birth. But those not knowing about Indian vedic horoscopes, as to how they are constructed and what all details are necessary for construction of Indian Vedic horoscope, I will tell you in brief.

A horoscope, is the construction of your birth chart , based on the exact location of planets in the transit at the time of birth.So for constructing the horoscope, besides date of birth the place and time of birth are equally important. As only then an individuals horoscope can differ from the other. Their are mainly nine planets which are considered in calculating the fate of an individual. They are viz. sun, moon, mars, mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn & two shadow planets Rahu & Ketu. Earlier Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, were not considered but now with the changing times we do consider them also.

Therefore, the Indian vedic system of making horoscopes is the most accurate and sophisticated method of making horoscopes and with the help of these horoscopes future of a person can be predicted more accurately.

After an accurate reading of these horoscopes one can take the help of different remedies which can help in improving their future and they can come to know as to what future holds for them.

To know more about astrology and horoscopes visit my websites www.ritubalaastrology.com www.ritubalaastrology.com/blog and get regular updates on astrology, vastu & fengshui.

December is a month of change. There are major changes in the transit in December. As after more than a year Jupiter will change its position, this will be beneficial for many but also harmful for some.Though Jupiter is a benefic planet so this will not be much harmful effect for people in general, but depending on individual horoscope and placement of Jupiter in the horoscope will show its effect accordingly. Though 2009 will not be very bad for everyone as compared to 2008. But still lot of changes will be seen in everyone life.

Till mid December Sun, Mars& Mercury will rule the zodiac sign, Scorpio and then they will move on to Sagittarius for the rest of the month.

After 9th December Jupiter will change its position and shift from zodiac sign Sagittarius to Capricorn.

In the beginning of December, i.e. on 3rd Venus will also shift from zodiac Sagittarius to Capricorn.

Zodiac Saturn will remain in the zodiac sign Leo for the whole month. This will be a mixed month for all the zodiac signs.

Rahu will remain in the zodiac Capricorn and Ketu in Cancer.

Thus this will show a mixed effect on all the zodiac signs.So, this will be a mixed month for all the zodiac signs.

As per fengshui the best direction for constructing the house is South as sun rays enters through this direction. But in India people often get confused that which is the best direction because as per vastu North and east directions are considered best. So they feel that they should not follow fengshui as it originated in China. But in China the sun rays enters the house through south direction so they follow the principals of fengshui and so consider south as the best direction. People of India should follow fenghui keeping in mind that the best direction for them is North . They should not get confused. As Vastu and Fengshui both aim at bringing harmony and peace and balancing the positive and negative energies. Thus they both are not contradictory, rather they are compensatory to each other.
Thus we must see the direction of the sun and then build our houses accordingly.

FULL MOON DAY TODAY - KARTIK SNAN ( BATH ) DAY !

The Full Moon Day falling today i.e. 15th Nov,08 called in hindu mythology as Kartik Purnima. Karthika Pournami is the most auspicious day to worship Lord Shiva, next only to the Maha Shivaratri. Karthika pournami is also called as Tripuri Purnima or Dev Diwali (Diwali of Gods).
Full moon day bath in the river, tank or on a well in the month of Magh (January-February) Baisakh (April-May) and Kartik (October-November) is recognized as more auspicious and especially, so if it is in Kurukshetra, Ayodhya or Kasi. Women observe fast, eating meal once a day throughout the month of Kartik till the full moon day of Kartik. The benevolence of the fast and bath lies in the destruction of all sins and their effect. This day is also important because on this day, God Siva killed the demon Tripura. This demon undertook severe austerities for a very long period at Parayag (Allahabad). Gods apprehending his likely gain of power, tried their best to interrupt his asceticism but in vain. Ultimately Brahma was pleased and awarded him a boon that he would not die at the hands of a god or man. Having obtained this boon, he started inflicting atrocities on all and ultimately attacked Siva’s abode Kailasa. Siva gave him fight and ultimately with the help of Brahma and Vishnu killed Tripura on this day, the full moon day of Kartik (October-November).

The Sonepur (Bihar) fair steeped in mythology and folklore, begins on first full moon day of Kartik Purnima after Deewali, and stretches over an entertaining fortnight. It is a fantastic cattle fair perhaps the largest is Asia. Apart from the sale of livestock and grains, there are numerous contests of skill, magic shows and folk performances to draw crowds.

Every year during Kartik Purnima (October-November) a 10-day fair is held in Pushkar (near Ajmer). After bathing, the pilgrims offer Puja at the Brahma temple (the only one in the world). Worship is also done in Savitri temple on the hill, where image of Saraswati exists.

The Baliyatra at Cuttack on the Kartik Purnima day in October-November is a memorable event in Orissa. It is in memory of the traders, who had set sail for the islands of Bali, Java and Sumatra in older days. People go to the river Mahanadi, bath and sail tiny boats of pith and paper, from day break till late in the evening. A huge fair is held on the riverbank in front of the Barabati fort for four days.

Karthik Purnima festival also coincides with the Jains’ Light Festival and Guru Purab (Jayanthi of Guru Nanak Dev).

When is Kartik Poornima in 2008 ?
Kartik Poornima is celebrated on the Full Moon day or the fifteenth day of the Shukla paksha (first fortnight) of the month, Karthik. In 2008, Karthik poornima falls on 13th November, Thursday.

Legend Behind Karthik Purnima :
One of the great sacred texts, Mahabharata demonstrates the story behind the holiness of Karthik purnima. According to that, demon Taraka was killed by Kartikeya (Lord Shiva’s son). Tarakasura’s three sons – Taraksha, Kamalaksha and Vidyunmali. Usually demons are very intelligent and strong but they misuse their knowledge and powers.

These three demons performed a severe penance for Brahma and got a boon that they would live for thousand years in three strong, moving cities called as Tripuri and they could only be destructed by an arrow which makes the cities into one and sets them to fire.

After the end of thousand years of the negative rule of the three demons, the Gods went to Lord Shiva and prayed to him to demolish the asuras. Lord Shiva performed ‘Rudra Tandava’ (Dance of Lord Shiva which is like an earthquake and also known as ‘Dance of Destruction’). ‘Rudra Tandava’ rocked the three cities – ‘Tripuri’. Lord Shiva’s arrow pierce through the three asuras at a time and the fire from his third eye burnt ‘Tripuri’.

As a commemoration of the demolition of the demons which occured on the Full Moon day, the event is celebrated as Karthik Purnima or Tripuri Poornima. Kartik pournami is also called as Dev Diwali as it is a brighter day for the Gods who fought against the demons to destroy the evil powers of them.

Rituals and Customs of Karthik Purnima :
On the day of Kartik Purnima, devotees perform ceremonial bath in the early morning and worship Lord Shiva. In South India, devotees burn a small bundle of cotton threads which are called as ‘Vatthulu’, which represents the burning of evilness in the world.

Women light ‘Deepaks’ (Kartik Deepams) in the evening and they perform a ritual of leaving those deepaks in nearest pond or lake.

Samudra Snan (Ritualistic bath) and Vanabhojanams (garden parties) are the popular rituals throughout India.

Why One Should Follow Vaastu?

Vaastu, considered the various forces of nature, which involves the five elements of nature viz. earth, water, wind, fire and space and maintains a balance of all these elements.These elements influence, guide and change the living styles of not only human beings but also every living being on earth. Thus they influence our work, luck, behavior and other basics of life.

Vaastu literally means a house or dwelling Place.Its principles establish to create a harmony between the fine elements of nature viz. Earth, Sky, Fire, Water and Air.Vastu is an art, as well as a science.
It helps us in designing and building our house, shops, commercial properties like complexes, factories etc.Vastu helps us to make our lives better and eliminates all the defects.

Vastu shastra is an ancient building science which covers the philosophy and theory of architectural works to construct any building and as well as living style of people. Vastu shastra is based on various natural energies, which are available free cost in atmosphere.

There are three forces in action to create harmony. Wind, water and fire or, Vaayu, Jal and Agni. If these forces are kept in their appropriate places, then there will be no disturbance. But if water is put in place of fire and wind in place of water or in any other combination, the forces will start acting accordingly and create disharmony and disturbances.Therefore to dwell in a peaceful situation and also to bring in prosperity, health, wealth & good luck we must consult a vastu consultant.

Just like in India, in Vastu, we have five basic elements air, fire, earth,water and space in the same manner,in China, in fengshui there are five basic elements viz. water, wood, fire, earth and metal.They consider these basic elements of nature as basic energies.This is one of the major difference in vastu and fengshui. With these five elements specific colors and directions are associated.

As per their mutual reactions, these elements can be in destructive or constructive order. If the arrangement is in constructive form then it will be beneficial. But if it is in destructive form then it will be harmful and destructive.

Therefore, a proper balance should be maintained, so that energies flow in positive direction bringing in harmony. Fengshui suggests that we must analyze the flow of energy and decorate the place in such a manner so that a balance of these five elements is maintained.

The Gems are classified as precious and semi-precious stones based on their cost.Gems as we see them appear to be somewhat colored glass like structure but they are minerals with definite crystalline structures and chemical compositions. They are composed of atoms of energy. Each & every gem has its own chemical configuration, refractive index and physical properties. It is like a filter prism. It filters a specific ray according to its chemical and physical property. The specific wavelength absorbed by the gem stimulates our body cells. The right gem helps to wade off the evil effects and it acts as a protective talisman.This is a very effective way to bring in positive energy. Gems are classified into two categories, cold and hot. Gems like - Pearl, blue sapphire and topaz are referred to as cold gems, while ruby, diamond, cat’s eye and red coral are known as hot gems. How Gemology works: - Gems generate constructive vibrations in the body. This helps counter the negative malefic powers released by the planets. When a specific gem is worn, it emits positive energy and provides a protective aura for the wearer. Duration: - Every gem has a specific life span.To know which gem is favorable for you, consult an astrologer immediately.

Hi Friends,
DIWALI festival marks the victory of good over evil, and uplifting of spiritual darkness. Symbolically it marks the homecoming of goodwill and faith after an absence, as suggested by the Ramayana.

Diwali, or Deepavali, (Markiscarali) is a major Indian festival,and a significant festival in Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism. Many legends are associated with Diwali. Today it is celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs across the globe as the “Festival of Light,” where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being . The festival is also celebrated by Buddhists of Nepal, particularly the Newar Buddhists.

According to one theory Diwali may have originated as a harvest festival, marking the last harvest of the year before winter. In an agrarian society this results in businessmen closing accounts, and beginning a new accounting year. The deity of wealth in Hinduism, goddess Lakshmi is therefore thanked on this day and everyone prays for a good year ahead. This is the common factor in Diwali celebrations all over the Indian subcontinent.

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY DIWALI ONCE AGAIN.

Chi plays an important role in everyone’s life. It is the power of atmosphere. Chi is mingled with life and death. Chi is of two types - live chi and dead chi. The live Chi is peaceful, while dead Chi is harmful. Live Chi brings good luck, peaceful and provides power, whereas dead Chi brings bad luck and suppresses the chances of our success. Both type of Chi are present in the atmosphere.

Chi enters our house through doors but goes out through other outlets and windows. A Chi when it enters the house remains there and does not go out though the same door. A house which has only one entrance then the Chi enters the house but does not go out through that door As a result bad Chi remains in the the house. Bad Chi also remains in the house where there are more then one doors in a straight house.

If a house has more than one doors, depending on their position, it is much possible that live Chi exists in such houses and this is good for peace and is very much beneficial.

Venus has changed its position in the transit.It has shifted from the Zodiac Libra to the zodiac Scorpio on 14th Oct. Sun is also changing its position from zodiac Virgo to zodiac Libra on 17th.

In recent times Vaastu has gained prominence in our day-to-day life. But it originated around five thousand year back, when the saints and our ancestors related the making of houses to the sunlight and five elements of nature. It originated in India and our olden houses were made as per norms of vastu.
Vaastu is derived from the Sanskrit word “VAAS” which means “to reside” or ”to Dwell”. Vastu’s main concern is not only material prosperity but it is also related to also mental peace and happiness besides it is also related to harmony in the family, office etc. Vaastu is a boon to the modern world.

The five elements of nature are Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space. It is because of these five elements that our planet earth, out of the nine planets, has life.

DIRECTIONAL VASTU REMEDIES FOR YOUR PROBLEMS

Build the life you’ve always wanted!
Defined as the ancient art of Chinese placement, Feng Shui is actually a powerful means to build the life you’ve always wanted. Our living and working environments reflects our personal strengths and challenges…and that by making our environment inviting, stimulating, and comfortable, we can attract romance, generate wealth and even land a dream job!

The East:

This is the location of joyful events. If you have a steady relationship but your wedding is not planned yet, you can put 4 potted plants and 9 stems of red flowers in this position to make it happen. Of course boosting the luck in this location catalyzes all joyful events, like having baby if you’re married, getting a major promotion or salary raise etc.

The Southeast:

This is the location of relationship. Too boost your love luck and general human relations, put a glass of water there with a conventional music box (not digital, music has to be generated from the metal material). Wind the music box from time to time to vibrate the water with sound waves. this is not restricted to single readers only. If you want to make more connections, or your job demands frequent social contacts and interpersonal skills, you should try it even if you’re married.

The South:

This is the location of courage and military ability and it brings luck to anyone not having a clerical job. if you want a promotion, put 8 white stones in the South grid of your house. If you want a salary raise, out a glass of water there. Those in disciplinary squads, rail maintenance, or those working as computer hardware technicians, interior decoration workers or construction workers would all benefit from this position.

The Southwest:

The Star of wealth Ba Bai is here. You can put a glass of water, or grow water plants, or put a fish tank in the Southwest grid of your house to boost your luck in wealth.

The West:

This is where the luck of intellectual achievement is located. To boost such luck, you can grow 4 water bamboo plants in the West grid of your house. Or simply put a glass of water there would help too. Besides students and academics, such location actually has positive effects on signing contracts or processing of documents.

The Northwest:

This is the location of quarrels and fights and you can put a pink carpet in the Northwest grid of your house to resolve. (If your job demands talking frequently to strangers, then you don’t need to resolve it.)

The North:

This i s where the Star Qi Chi shines on. It was the Star of strongest luck previously and its luck is slowly fading. Yet, it still brings some luck. You can put a glass of water in the North grid to boost your luck of wealth.

The Northeast:

This is the position of major sickness and it brings problems with respiratory and digestive system. If your main door, kitchen or bedroom falls right on the Northeast grid, you would have serious symptoms. To resolve, put a music box or wind chimes at the center grid of the house. You can also put other metal objects that make a sound there, such as several metal keys.

The Central Grid:

This is the direction of minor sickness and if your main door, kitchen or bedroom falls right on the center grid, you would get sick easily. The major area affected would be the respiratory system (i.e. throat, trachea, and lungs) and the abdomen. You can put a metal object that makes a sound in the Center grid of your house to resolve.

ABOUT LO-SHU IN FENG-SHUI

The discovery of the Lo shu miracle square dates back to 5000 years in China. Fengshui is not connected to any religion or caste. Though its origin has been in China. Feng shui means wind and water. It is a balance of these two things that brings harmony in home.

According to Feng-shui each direction belongs to an element and has a number, which is based on - ‘Lo Shu’. Long ago a Chinese Emperor and his men were busy doing work connected with irrigation at the bank of yellow river, when suddenly a huge turtle came out of the river crawling up on the scene slowly. The King went near it. To his great surprise he found that on the back of the turtle was depicted a square with some figures on it. When counted vertically, horizontally or crossword the sum came to be 15. Thereafter Lo Shu, became china’s miracle square. Thus Feng-shui is based on this Lo Shu grid, each representing a number and direction.

What is Astrology - DEFINITION OF ASTROLOGY
(The study of the stars and planets and their movements as well as their affects on the lives and behavior of human beings.)

ABOUT ASTROLOGY
Astrology is the study of the influence that STARS and planets, have on human lives. The position of the SUN, MOON and PLANETS at the time of people’s birth (not their conception) is said to shape their personality, economic condition, career, study, romantic relationships,luck, children and predict their future fortunes etc.

Mostly people know about astrology is their “sign,” which refers to one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac. This is a form of sun-sign astrology, which is the astrology upon which newspaper horoscopes are based. It is probably the simplest form, because nothing more than the date of someone’s birthday is needed to generate a sun-sign horoscope. Many astrologers will tell you that this form of astrology is so simplistic that it produces very limited results.
To produce a more accurate reading, astrologers check to see what sign each planet was in at the time of birth. The planets and signs combine with other elements, such as houses and angles, to form a complex and often very specific profile of a subject’s personality, life and future prospects.
