KUJA DOSHAM/MANGALIK - ADVERSE EFFECTS

In the traditional Hindu Astrology we come across Kuja Dosham in marriage match making and compatibility. The very word sends shivers along the spine of the opposite side. The moment they hear that Kuja Dosham exists in one chart, they drop it and say you find a match with similar Kuja Dosham. Kuja Dosham means the presence of Mars- Kuja-Mangalik- in houses 2,4,7,8,12 from Lagna as well from Moon sign is bad and will cause death or separation of spouse and hence should be avoided for marriage alliance unless both the parties have Kuja Dosham-Mangalik.

The second house from Lagna deals wealth, longevity, communication and transport and the presence of Mars - Kuja in this affects the smooth sail of life in these fields and thus may cause death or separation of spouse and hence should be avoided.

The presence of Mars - Kuja in 4th house from Lagna, the house that deals with the subjects of family, mother, and thus Mars, a harsh and fiery planet, causes danger to those fields governed by the 4th house and hence should be avoided for marriage alliance.

The 7th house from Lagna, the house of spouse and partners, should not have the presence of Mars - Kuja and if present may cause disputes and death of spouse. So an alliance with Mars in seventh house shall be avoided.

The 8th house is the house for health and death and the presence of Mars - Kuja is a potential danger to the native of the chart and hence an alliance with short life shall be avoided. 

The 12th house is for health, expenditure and the presence of Mars will affect the longevity of the native and an alliance with short span of life shall be avoided.

The above are to be seen from both Lagna and Moon sign. Either is considered as Kuja Dosham.

For the above reasons an alliance having Mars placed in 2,4,7,8 & 12 are considered as people having Kuja Dosham or Mangalik and shall be avoided unless the other party is also having same Kuja Dosham-Mangalik.

However traditional Hindu Astrology has provided certain exemptions even if the Mars - Kuja placed in these houses with the following conditions.

1. If Lagna or Moon sign is Cancer or Leo or Capricorn or Aries or Sagittarius this Kuja Dosham does not apply or does not harm.

2. If Mars is in Second House and the second house is Gemini or Virgo it is to be presumed that no Kuja Dosham exists. 

3. If Mars is in 12th house and the 12th house is Taurus or Libra then also he will not have the applicability of Kuja Dosham.

4. Like wise Mars in 4th house and the 4th house falls in Aries and Scorpio then Kuja Dosham does not apply.

5. If 7th house is in Capricorn or Cancer and the Mars placed in any of them, then also Kuja Dosham is not applicable.

6. If Mars is in 8th house and the 8th house falls in Sagittarius or Pisces then Kuja Dosham does not apply.

7. If Mars is associated with Jupiter (Guru/Brihaspathi) or Mars is associated with Moon or Mercury in the same sign then also Kuja Dosham is not applicable. 

8. A general opinion is that if Mars is in 2nd or 12th in the male horoscope or Mars in 4 and 7 in female horoscope or Mars in 8th in either horoscope the escape from Kuja Dosham may not be available irrespective of above exemptions. 

Hence traditional Hindu astrology suggests to proceed with an alliance if both the horoscopes are having Kuja Dosham/Mangalik. 

However in Sayana system views on position of the Mars differs. In this regard separate articles named HUBBY HOW DO YOU LOOK LIKE? AND YOUR'S A LOVE MARRIAGE? were already placed

TERRORISM & WAR Pluto and Saturn and Astrology

TERRORISM & WAR Pluto and Saturn seem to play a vital role in causing war, loss of life and wealth, economic crisis, and danger to safety and stability. Pluto rules Scorpio, the 8th sign of the Zodiac and the 8th house in Mundane Astrology indicates elimination and regeneration, unearned income, possessions of others, theft, mutual funds, death, liabilities, loss, destruction, insurance, revolution, rebels, reformation etc., So Pluto governs these matters, and if afflicted, causes loss of life, wealth and crops, attacks, rapes, violence etc. 

Saturn rules the 10th sign Capricorn and the 10th house in Mundane Astrology signifies nations, cities, rulers and government. Saturn is the planet for stability, safety, security, control and material gains. If afflicted, Saturn causes delays, difficulties, loss, sorrows, failure, death and danger to safety, security and stability. 

Conjunction of Pluto and Saturn may give mixed results like revolution, radical change, transformation, loss or death. Opposition and square aspects indicate adverse results. Conjunction of Saturn and Pluto occurred in the sign Cancer during 1914 to 1916. This triggered first world War and economic crisis. Saturn in Capricorn and Pluto in Cancer formed opposition during 1930-31, causing financial crisis and losses. The square formed by Saturn in Taurus and Pluto in Leo during 1939-41 was responsible for the Second World War. Pluto, Saturn and Sun were in Leo on 15th August 1947 when the British rule ended and India became independent and the partition of India taken place. Pluto in Virgo and Saturn in Pisces opposed each other during 1965-66 when there were Indo-Pak and Vietnam wars. During 1981-82 Saturn - Pluto conjunction occurred in Libra caused Iran and Lebanon wars. In 1992 -93 there formed a square causing Gulf war. 

Now during 2001 Saturn is in Gemini in opposition to Pluto in Sagittarius. This adverse aspect is responsible for the terrorist activities, attacks on WTC and Pentagon, causing loss of wealth and many lives and the American raids over Afghanistan. Gemini is the sign of America. Pluto in Sagittarius afflicts Saturn in Gemini. Capricorn ruled by Saturn, is the sign of Afghanistan and India. Sagittarius rules Arabia. This Saturn-Pluto adverse aspect may cause major economic crisis war, deaths and loss of wealth. 

There is another reason for the troubles faced by America. Gemini, the sign of America is transited by Saturn afflicted by Pluto in Sagittarius, according to Mundane Astrology. The horoscope cast for Solar ingress in Aries, indicates the trends of the country during the year. 

Sun entered Aries on 20th March 2001 at hours 13.31 G.M.T. or 8.31 AM L.M.T of New York, America. The 26th degrees of Taurus was rising at that time and Saturn was in Taurus in the same rising degree. This is an evil position. Saturn is afflicted by Uranus in 10th house - Aquarius. This adverse asp3ect is responsible for the destruction of World Trade Center and Pentagon and the death of hundreds of people. The unexpected event happened in a surprising way due to sudden attack by aero planes. Uranus is the planet for bomb, planes and sudden and surprising events. Neptune and Moon in the Tenth House indicate the secret plot to ruin the property. Debilitated Mercury in the 11th house was in adverse square aspect to Jupiter in Gemini. They are rulers of houses2 and 8 which govern national wealth. So huge loss was incurred. Further Mars and Pluto were in 8th house indicating loss of property and lives. Venus - the ruler of houses 1&6 was in the 12th house in retrograde motion indicating the adverse events. Thus the Solar Ingress chart clearly indicated the bad position. 

The New Moon on 23rd May occurred in Gemini, the sign of America. Both Sun and Moon were afflicted by the conjunction of Saturn. Both Sun and Moon were afflicted by Uranus on 6th June - the full Moon day. Again they were afflicted on 21st June when there was an eclipse. Sun was in exact square aspect to Pluto and Saturn on 5th and 7th September. On 11th September,, Moon was again in Gemini afflicted by Saturn and Pluto, when ;the disaster happened. The Americans started raids on Afghanistan on 7th October, When the Moon who in Gemini, Afflicted by Saturn and Pluto. Thus the Saturn-Pluto opposition aspect was activated by Moon causing heavy loss and deaths. 

Sun entered Aries on 20th March at hours 18.08 Kabul local time. Zero degrees of Libra was rising at that time with Sun exactly on the 7th Cusp, Saturn in the 9th house, and Venus, rulers of houses 1 & 8 in the 7th house, retrograde. The Solar Eclipse on 21st June occurred exactly on the 10th cusp of Solar Ingress. On 11th September Mars entered 4th house in opposition to 10th cusp. Moon activated the Saturn - Pluto opposition aspect in October and Solar Ingress Venus was afflicted by Sun, Mars and Jupiter. These adverse factors are responsible for the loss of national wealth and deaths in Afghanistan. It is a war against terrorism for Americans and it is a crusade or Jihad for Afghans. It seems that there is no end to the war in the near future, due to the adverse planetary transits especially Saturn and Pluto. These two planets are in houses6 & 12 from Capricorn (Ruled by Saturn) which is the sign of both Afghanistan and India. This is the reason for the increased terrorism in Kashmir and bombing on Kabul, Kandhahar and other afghan cities. Mundane Astrology helps to indicate the future trends in the countries. 

Moods Happiness Planets and Astrology

Our moods often change. Some times we are happy, active, jovial, enthusiastic, hopeful and at times we are unhappy, dull, angry, pessimistic and sad. These changes in our moods, thoughts, opinions and behaviour are caused by Moon, because it governs our mind and causes changes. Moon is the fast moving planet. Our moods change when moon joins or aspects another planet, according to the nature of the planet and the sign occu- pied by the moon and the concerned planet. The general mentali- ty, behaviour thoughts and manners or a person can be known by the sign and house occupied by Moon in the horoscope. Good and bad aspects formed by Moon during progression and transits cause pleasant and unpleasant moods. If the Moon is very close to the rising degree in the Ascendant at birth, the native thinks too much with a restless mind, lacks concentration and is often found moody, unless well aspected. 

The distance between Moon and other planets indicates the positive and negative trends. Conjunction of Moon with Jupiter Venus, Mercury or Sun keeps a person in good moods. Conjunction of Moon with Mars, Saturn Uranus or Neptune can spoil the moods. If Moon is moving at a distance of 90 (Square) or 180 (Opposi- tion) degrees from a planet, the effect is negative, and if the distance is 60 (Sextile) or 120 (Trine) degrees from a planet, the effect is positive. 

Your mind will be active, receptive and inquisitive, if Moon is Conjunct, sextile of trine Sun, and you will be in disturbed moods if Moon is in square or opposition to Sun, due to adverse circumstances. 

Moon conjunct or opposition or square to Mars disturbs your moods and causes anger hatred, violence and ill temper. Your decisions and actions will be impulsive and hasty. Moon sextile or trine Mars gives inspiration, boldness confidence and strong will. You will be in active and inspiring moods and ready to take the initiative, and assertive and dominating.

If Moon is conjunct or sextile or trine to Mercury, you will be inquisitive, thoughtful communicative and receptive moods and mentally very active.

Adverse aspects to Mercury disturb your moods and cause differences of opinion, misunderstanding, mistakes, wrong thinking and disagreement. You will not be in a receptive mood. 

If Moon is conjunct or sextile or trine with Jupiter, you will be in jovial moods optimistic, confident, cheerful, helpful, kind generous and aspiring. You will be ready to avail good opportunities and enjoy wits. Adverse aspects may cause extrava- gance, overconfidence, speculative tendency, pride, perversion and peculiar views about law, religion, science, philosophy and faiths. You may think in a wrong direction and go to extremes.

When Moon joins or forms sextile or trine aspect to Venus, you will be in happy moods, sociable, friendly, loving and pleas- ing in manners. You will be in a mood to appreciate and enjoy art and beauty and you will be fond of company and entertainment. You will attract others and make them happy. Adverse aspects of Venus may cause aversion, prejudice, emotions, extravagance conflicts, indifferent attitude, disagreement and lack of sym- pathy. You will react to the attitude of friends and dearer ones. 

Moon conjunct, square or opposition Saturn causes depres- sion, frustration, humiliation pessimism, sorrow, tension, hatred, isolation and unhappiness. Your disturbed moods dis- please others. Favourable aspects of Saturn (Sextile & Trine) keep you in sober moods. You are calm, tolerant cautious, earn- est, practical, slow and steady serious, thoughtful, grave, farsighted, shrewd, stable reliable and sincere. 

Moon Conjunct square or opposition Uranus causes peculiar and sudden changes in moods, perversity, irritation and extremes of emotional behaviour. The person is unreliable, hasty, impul- sive, odd unconventional, erratic and eccentric in manners. This behaviour may spoil the relations with others. When Moon is in sextile or trine aspect to Uranus, the person will be in exciting moods, quick to respond, impressive, emotional, and attracts others with his original and unconventional views, strange man- ners and fast decisions. 

When Moon conjunct or square or opposition to Neptune, the person will be in confused moods due to illusions, false attrac- tions, misleading factors, wrong ideas and psychic disturbances. If Moon is in sextile or trine he will be in cheerful moods, and he shows interest in fiction, movies artificial beauty, fine arts, religion and philosophy. He will impress others with his attractive manners. 

Negative aspects of Pluto may cause gloomy or violent moods, irritation, bad temper or extremes of behaviour in cardinal pleasures. Recollection of unpleasant past events may disturb his moods. He acts impulsively and hurts the feelings of others. If Moon is in good aspect to Pluto, he will be more active, courageous strong willed and inspiring. 

Thus our moods change according to the nature of the planets aspecting Moon. The mind signified by the Moon works according to the fate and our thoughts, manners and action lead to the occurrence of good and bad events. "Buddhi Karmanusarini".

Children's Planets Sign and Astrology

The expansion of family and the increased number of family members was an asset in the agricultural production of early days. The Indian family feels that a son is a must for the fulfillment of funeral rituals to ensure the souls passage to heaven. A complete woman-hood is attained on her becoming a mother. The Indian woman considers sterility a curse by heavens. The horoscope indicates whether one may have children or not. The 5th house signifies children.

Water-signs Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio are fertile signs indicating progeny. Earth signs Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo are also fertile, but degree of potentiality is less. The Air signs Libra, Aquarius and Gemini are treated as sterile or barren signs excepting Aquarius. The fire signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are treated as barren signs. The sign of 5th cusp or the sign occupied by the ruler of the 5th house indicates progeny. If fifth house is a water or earth sign and not afflicted or the ruler of the 5th house is in its own sign whether it is fertile or barren sign but not afflicted by Saturn, Mars or Uranus by association or adverse aspect of any planet , then the scope for progeny for progeny is bright. Affliction to the planet in the 5th or its ruler may deny or delay birth of children or cause abortion, miscarriage or early demise of the child. Moon or Sun in cancer, Pisces or Scorpio are potential signs that give children, if not afflicted. A planet is said to be afflicted if it is joined by Saturn, Mars or Uranus or if it is at a distance of 90 or 180 degrees from any of these planets forming square or opposition aspect.

Saturn in the 5th house may deny children or cause delay or disappointment. Some may favor adoption. If the 5th house falls in Taurus or Capricorn occupied by Saturn, the person will be more attached to children.

It is stated that the 5th house governs the first child, and 7th house signifies the second child, the 9th house the third child and the 11 the fourth child and the first house the 5th child and so on, The third house governs brother or sister. So the 7th is the 3rd from 5th house, so it signifies the sibling of the first child. The 9th being the 3rd from 7th indicates the sibling of the second child.

Good aspects to the planet in the 5th and to the ruler of the 5th bless you with nice children.

Love Marriage and astrology Science

Love at first sight or Platonic love are the common phrases you 
     come across in a talk with any present generation or in any movie 
     you see.   Between man and woman the natural attraction develops 
     in to friendship, love and a love marriage.  Some times the love 
     marriage may be well with in the framework of traditions, caste 
     and creed, but many a time such love will have no bounds and 
     barriers.  In Astrology we can see these reflections in the birth
     chart of an individual.
     
     For a lasting and a lovable marriage, the first and seventh lords, 
     Moon & Sun, Venus & Mars in the individual chart shall have good 
     aspects between them and shall not be afflicted by other malefic. 
     Afflicted planets shall not house the first and seventh houses.
     
     In a birth chart Fifth, Seventh and Eleventh houses from Lagna 
     signify Love, Marriage and Friendship respectively. 

 Depending on the planets in these houses and the rulers of these houses 
     and the aspects to them, the general signification of the marriage, 
     Moon and Venus in Boy's chart, Sun and Mars in girls chart and 
     aspects to them put together reflect the type of Marriage such 
     as Love at first sight or not, whether conventional or unconventional,
     whether it will be lasting or not etc.  You can interpret likely type 
     of marriage and its nature basing on the position of planets and 
     the aspects.
     
     Venus and Mars in the individual chart and their good aspects indicate 
     attractions between husband and wife and Moon Sun good aspects indicates 
     mental compatibility between them.  Similarly in making a comparison of 
     two charts the Venus of one chart is in good aspect with Mars of the other 
     chart and vice versa, indicate mutual attractions between them.  If in 
     comparison the Sun and Moon of the two charts making good aspects indicate 
     a better mutual understanding.   If Uranus plays its role in individual 
     chart as well in comparisons, the indication is that some sort of 
     unconventionalism likely creeps in their relationship. The unconventional 
     nature may be in caste, creed or religion and the role of Uranus do not 
     give a lasting relationship but only temporary attractions. If a good 
     aspect with Saturn to the planets in the related houses, then the 
     relationship between them is lasting.
     
     The presence of the following positions in the individual's chart 
     indicates the possibility of a love marriage.
     
     1. Exchange of rulers of fifth and seventh house i.e. ruler of 
     fifth house in the seventh or vice versa. This exchange indicate 
     a love marriage and most likely, because the fifth house rules 
     the subjects like creative talents, sportsmanship, school etc., 
     the development of their relationship may be in the fields ruled 
     by the house.
     
     2. Exchange of rulers of seventh and eleventh house i.e. ruler of 
     seventh house in the eleventh or vice versa. This exchange indicate 
     that they may be friends or friends might have played a role in their 
     coming closer leading to their love and marriage.  It is also possible 
     that they might have come closer in meetings of clubs, associations etc, 
     as the eleventh house rules those subjects.
     
     3. Exchange of rulers of first and seventh house i.e. ruler of first 
     house in seventh house or vice versa. This exchange indicates mutual 
     appreciation and praise and mutual attractions.  And the choice of 
     partner is theirs and their love and affection for one another is immense.
     
     4. The Conjunction of first and seventh house rulers in fifth, eleventh 
     or seventh also indicate love marriage possibility.
     5. Presence of Uranus in one of the fifth, seventh or eleventh houses
     making a good aspect with the planets in the other two relevant houses 
     gives rise to love marriages developed suddenly and to some extent 
     unconventional in nature.
     
     In all the above cases if Uranus is making an aspect such marriage 
     may be non-lasting than being a durable one.  If such aspects make a 
     good aspect with Saturn also then their nature will be more durable one. 
     If the signification make adverse aspects with Mars/Uranus on one side 
     and a good aspect with Saturn on the other, it indicates that in spite 
     of the problems in their marital relations, they hang on to the wedlock.
     
     If Venus and Mars only make good aspects and Sun and Moon are in adverse 
     aspect in the individual chart, then they will have mutual attractions 
     but may be mentally incompatible with misunderstandings and 
     emotional differences.
     
     The rulers of 5th, 7th and 11th or the planets in these houses in any 
     way related to other houses, then you can reasonably interpret the 
     influence of those houses' ruled subjects on their love and marriage. 
     If 3rd house is related, you may say that attractions, because of 
     neighborliness, friends of sister/brother, frequent visitor or in 
     journeys, might have developed. If 4th house is related in any way, 
     you may conclude that one of them may be a relative of parent, 
     friendship at house, co-tenant etc. If 6th house, it may be a 
     co-worker or friendship at workplace and the like.  It is not 
     comprehensive but only to show as to how to link the possibilities, 
     only a few are given.
     
     Let us see some examples for practical understanding of charts

     In the above chart you find exchange of 7th and 11th lords and Uranus 
     in 7th trined by Saturn. This position indicates unconventional love 
     marriage relationship developed out of friendship and with less 
     compatibility as appears in boys chart but with Saturn making good 
     aspect with effort durability can be achieved in spite of 
     emotional differences.  
     
     In the below given example first lord Venus in 7th house conjuncting 
     11th lord Neptune and Uranus in 5th house. This position indicating 
     unconventionalism due to presence of Uranus in fifth house and 
     friendship, eleventh house, played its role in love marriage.

WHY CONTROVERSY ON AGES OLD - ASTROLOGY?

It is heartening to note that University Grants Commission permitting the Universities to include Astrology as one of the subjects in their degree and P.G courses, but unfortunate that lot of controversy is raised by the so called rationalist scientists.

Astrology a science of astronomy identifying the stars and planets, calculating their distances, motion, orbital path, and as part of all the influence of the planets, stars on human brain and activity. It is not superstitious and meaning less belief of the people as being argued by these rationalist scientists, but a science of planets, calendar, seasons, seasons influence on mans activity, farming etc. Whether it is Ptolemy, Newton, Pythagoras or other astronomers who discovered the functioning of the universe the stars, the planets etc., themselves have written about the influence of these planets on the humans and their activity. Again it is they only that gave the week days the names of the planets and the then contemporary astrologers of India have given the names of the stars to the months and it is how in course of time modified and brought the calendar to the present shape. And our rationalist scientists have no hesitation to use that calendar with thithi vara nakshatra etc. including for fixing launching times of the rocket testing and space shuttles, inauguration of their science labs and what not.

What are the parameters of the science? More so of social sciences based on lot of statistical information-statistics can prove and disprove anything-and based on such statistics social sciences are there in the curriculum and these rationalist scientists consider those social sciences sacrosanct though the economic policies framed under such economic theories of social sciences doesn't work, such as present day recession. Astrology predicted recession and in our foreword to panchang of 1999-2000, we have cautioned calamities and recession. Even then social sciences are sacrosanct but not the astrology. Astrology satisfies many parameters to be called as a science and there may be errors in astrological predictions due to shortcomings of the interpreting astrologer but that does not give a right to deny the astrology its place as a science. If a patient dies we are not rejecting the medicine its rightful place but only attributing to the failure of Doctor. Why not the same case with astrology and astrologers. Astrology purely based on the positions of the planets at the time of birth, and their influence and gravitational pull on the individuals and his activities. The positions of the planets are nothing but astronomical calculations using that today rockets launched on to the moon or mars accurately. So calculations are calculations, which nobody can deny, then what these so called rationalist scientists are denying we do not understand. Astrology is not black magic and black magic is not astrology. Without going deep into the science of astrology these pseudo rationalists with only superficial hearsay knowledge, they want to deny astrology its rightful place in curriculum. Even Newton himself said that after having studied the science of astrology that he didn't want to join the chorus saying, " sir I have studied you have not ". Hippocrates said " A PHYSICIAN CAN NOT SAFELY ADMINSTER MEDICINE IF HE BE UN-ACQUAINTED WITH ASTROLOGY ". Kepler says " The planets forming angles upon the earth by their luminous beams, of strength to stirrup the virtue of sublunary things, have compelled my unwillingly belief. ".

The practice and following astrology is not limited to India (India with lot of gullible illiterate people) but in almost all the countries from east to west and in China it dates back to 2513 BC. You find lot of astrologers in U.S. said to be a most advanced industrialized and literate country. For the last 200 years in U.S. a farmer's almanac is being published and is being followed for sowing, harvesting etc., as is common in India too.

One and all know, that Dhanvantari was the science of Medicine, Vastu the science of Engineering and Architecture, and Astrology the science of Astronomy and calendar. In the Gurukula system of education in ancient India, SHAT SASTRAS were taught and of them Astrology was called VEDA CHAKSHU - eye of Veda. The so-called rationalist scientists have no objection in introducing Ayurveda Medicine as one of the streams of medicine and duly giving recognition to it. The Government both state and center have recruited ayurvedic Doctors, opened dispensaries and dispensing even to the Central Government employees under CGHS. Unfortunate it is that these scientists are not aware that Astrology is an inseparable part of Ayurveda. The Amruth Ghatis being given in Panchang is meant for using the medicines and potions at those specific times for its effective working on the human body. Similarly vastu is a science of engineering of the ancient Indian society according to which the monuments, which are being preserved with utmost reverence by these scientists, were constructed. Unimaginable it is that many huge structures were raised moving huge boulders, beams and what not, to such heights without the help of the huge cranes of the present day. We, including the scientists, look to these monuments awestruck. It is this Vastu that gave to the ancient people of India, as to how a structure is to be constructed, the parameters to be used, the ratio between the height and thickness of the walls, the foundation, the materials to be used, the method of procuring such materials, the time and date for procuring such material and starting such work all are associated closely with Astrology for guidance.

While this is the background, suddenly how these rationalist scientists have awaken to oppose the introduction of astrology in the University curriculum and gone to the extent of demanding the resignation / removal of UGC chairman. Perhaps many of these rationalist scientists might have closed their eyes while their kith and kin are getting married, or covertly sending their kith and kin to astrologers to find the future, including their own and at the same time shouting from the tree tops at the height of pitch that this astrology is a blind belief and should be driven away from the minds of the large majority of the people.

In curricula we have no objection for having fiction as a subject but not the astrology, which is a science of planets of ancient India. The astrology is calculating and arriving at the new moon, full moon, the eclipses and many other things including low and high tides of the oceans. The Kandla port uses these calculations for clearing the incoming and outgoing vessels in to its port. These rationalist scientists agree that with full moon and new moon the mental activity varies and influences the lunatics and in their treatment the lunar cycles are also reckoned. The very word lunatic is arrived from Lunar - Moon. While these rationalistic scientists accepting the influence of planets from one side and opposing the science of astrology on the other.

Yes there may be astrologers who create unwarranted fear and apprehensions in the minds of gullible people but that doesn't deny the astrology its due place and one and all should condemn if any body is exploiting the gullible people in the name of astrology.

There is no science that gives an idea of what is in store for an individual in future except the science of astrology. Everyone knows what is his past what is his present but not his future. What is wrong if astrology plays its role in giving an idea of what is his future so that he can prepare himself to face any untoward situation.

So for anybody opposing for opposition sake is not correct. Let them study first before calling it mad dog. In this matter Dr.Butler was frank enough in admitting that he studied astrology to prove it a blind belief, but became a staunch believer.

Billions of people are believing, following and practicing astrology world over. Over centuries the subject astrology withstood the onslaught and with every onslaught the number following and patronizing is multiplying. Really it doesn't need a defense.

We hope that prudence and better counsel prevail on these scientists and rationalists.

REALITY vs NEPTUNE

You can become an Actor, Artist, Writer, Magician, Sculptor or Beautician with the blessings of Neptune- the Planet of Fantasy, Illusion,Mystery and Maya. We know certain things are not real, but Neptune can make them look real with its magical power. While dreaming, we feel that all that appears in the dream is true, but when we wake up we realise it is illusion.

We know that the stories, novel and the characters in them are fictitious and not real but when we read the stories, we feel that the characters and events are real. An actor also creates the same illusion, when we witness a film or drama. We appreciate the deeds of the hero, enjoy the jokes of the comedian, hate the villian and feel sympathetic towards the unfortunate character though we know that all of them are fictitious.

Neptune gives us the ability to visualise our thoughts and themes and see the imagined pictures which are not visible to the naked eye. It governs the inward eye. The 12th sign is ruled by Neptune. Until the discovery of Neptune, the traditional ruler was Jupiter. But modern astrologers assigned the rulership of Pisces to Neptune after careful ob- servation and research. It is known as Varuna in Indian Astrolo- gy, but Varuna is not a planet. As there is no such planet in Indian Astrology, Neptune is given that name because Varuna is the Sea God like Neptune.

Pisces is a water sign. "Two Fishes swimming in opposite direction" is its symbol. The seas, rivers, tanks and all liquids including water,oil, juices, fuel, essences, milk, honey, etc., are the properties of Neptune. The fishes and other being, pearls and other valuables found in the waters, fountains, swimming pools, ships, boats sea-voyages, salt, sugar, ice and other products of liquids belong to Neptune.

Pisces governs the "FEET" in the body. Shoes, socks, foot ball, dance, flooring material, carpets, mats, the bed furniture, wheels, tyres, vehicles and animals,etc. are also included in the list of the properties of Neptune.

Pisces is the 12th sign of the Zodiac. So all matters relating to the 12th house in a horoscope are governed by Neptune. The following affairs relate to the 12th house.

1. Inward eye-Imagination-Illusion-Instuition-images, prophacy-Imitation-Mimicry-Acting-Fiction-Arts-Vision- Television-Magic.
2. Mental activities-Psychology-Psychiatry-Lunacy- Meditation- Mental hospitals-Sleep-Insomnia-Dreams.
3. Research - Teaching - Invention - Journalism- Investigation- Transmission-Information-Publication- Review-Revision-Recollection.
4. Secrecy-Conspiracy-Smuggling-Selfundoing-witch craft.
5. Solitude- Escapism- Evasion- Hiding- Captivity- Imprisonment-Sacrifice-Renunciation.
6.Temple-Ashram-Jail-Asylum-Hostel-Hospital-Theatre- Lodge- Restaurant-Recreation-Foreign affairs.
7. Subconscious mind - Unconscious state - Drugs- Intoxicants.
8. Spiritualism-Deception-Dependence.

Neptune governs duplicating material and transparent materials such as prints, photographs, pictures, films, xerox, copying, forgery, imitation acticles, counterfeits and also glass, mirrors, lamination, polished goods, plastics, glazed tiles, etc.

If Neptune in the horoscope is concerned with career, income or work and houses 10-2-6, one may settle in one of the occupations in the above fields.

One may become a successful artist if the fifth house of creativity is strong and related to career, and if Neptune, Venus and Mercury are the significators. Venus is the planet for art, beauty and attraction and Mercury is the planet for communication, gestures, voice, thoughts and actions.

Taurus and Libra are the signs of Venus. Gemini and Virgo are the signs Mercury. Pisces is the sign of Neptune. The planet which occupies or rules the 5th house is important for artistic career because it indicates creativity and skills.

These signs, planets and the houses 5 and 10-2&6 played the major role in the horoscopes of the actors, Amitab Bachan, NTR, ANR, Rekha, Madhuri Dixit and Karishma Kapoor.

                                                     ACTORS DEGREE

Both NTR & ANR were born when the same degree-10th degree of Scorpio was rising at birth, though their dates of birth differ. There is astrological significance for this degree. It is shown as the degree of acting in the Book- "The Degrees of the Zodiac symbolised" by Charubel : "A man wearing a mask as in a play" in the symbolic meaning of 10th degree of Scorpio. The person is always capable of playing a part and attracting admirers-says the author. All those with this degree may not become "Reel" actors, but may be acting in Real Life. This is a striking feature to note in both the horoscopes.

CHIRANJEEVI

Chiranjeevi - career, prospects and future basing on the date of birth given in cinema magazine, i.e. 22.8.1955 10.00am Bhimavaram, the chart is interpreted.

The Sayana positions at birth are Lagna, Moon & Neptune in Libra almost near conjunction. 5th lord Uranus, the ruler of house of talents, in 10th the house of profession. Sun in his own sign, Leo, the 11th house, together with mars, Venus and Pluto in almost conjunction. Jupiter is also in 11th house but squared by Saturn from Scorpio. All the planets of politics clustered together in a royal sign.

The position of Moon-Neptune conjunction in sextile with Venus is very good for acting and film field. Added to it 5th lord in 10th indicates a profession related to fine arts and artistic talents. The conjunction of Venus, Mars and Sun will give every force to the artistic field and gainful investments in the field. Though Jupiter is in square with Saturn, mercury from its own sign is sextiling with Saturn and hence the adverse impact if any is reduced.

Uranus in 10th indicates changes in profession and a possible up and down in profession as Uranus is squared by 10th lord Moon. However the planets in 11th sextiling with Moon and Neptune in first gives the ultimate success and upward direction.

Uranus is also the planet for politics. Sun in own sign, the royal sign, together with Mars and Jupiter is very good for political career. The only disadvantageous position is Lagna in Libra, a sign of vacillations, and Moon the planet for popularity, fluctuations and changes in the ascendant. This first house position gives an indecisive mind and mood to the native.

Now Moon is progressing in 9th house and trining with natal moon during June 2001 and around his birth date moon is sextiling Jupiter, thereafter sextiling with Sun, Mars, Venus indicate an important positive change in his career and popularity. Around the same time moon is also squaring the progressed Mars, which may give rise to some disputes or problems legal or otherwise. However it may not harm much as the natal moon and mars are in good aspect. Most likely this period may give an opportunity for entry into politics. In spite of hesitation and vacillation caused by natal moon's presence in Lagna, if entered in to politics, he is sure to shine well and reach new heights and attain high places of position.

However when progressed moon enters 10th house and conjoins with Uranus and square moon and Neptune around first half of 2004, every likely hood that there may be some change in the party or career which will be ultimately good for him as progressed sun sextiles natal Jupiter. There after the career will be bright and stabilised when progressed moon enters 11th house and joins Jupiter and all other planets one after another and sextiles natal Moon and Neptune.

Besides these seven primary colours, there are some other colours which are formed by mixing two or more colours. Dificiency or excess of one of the colours in our body causes certain diseases related to that colour, and indicates the changes in our moods and manners.
