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.

Also avoid heavily spiced foods and stimulants like liquor and red wine. Eat plenty of fresh salads, especially lettuce, tomatoes and spinach; and cooling juices like wheat grass, grape and apple, to control a tendency towards acidosis due to hyper metabolic activity.That’s why it is preferred that one should be vegetarian.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
