Depression, anorexia, child birth affect sex life

Astrologically, in a natal chart, the 5^th house signifies the deeper layer of mind, the food habits as also the birth of child. 5^th house also signifies romance and physical pleasures of mating. Saturn is the chief significator of depression and other obstructive effects. The same is also caused by the Dragon’s tail i.e. Ketu and to some extent by the Dragon’s head i.e. Rahu. In the Zodiac, it is the sign Leo ruled by the Sun which is the origin of the terrestrial life. Therefore, if in a natal chart the 5^th house and/or its lord and/or the sign Leo and/or the Sun be afflicted by malefics like Saturn etc., the native will suffer from mental depression, anorexia etc. and this in turn will be reflected in the native’s sex life and the reproductive capacity. Thus, Astrology provides proper explanation of this research work.

Bedwetting intellectual decline linked

In a natal chart, the 12^th house signifies bed-comforts according to Astrology. Intellect or talent is judged from the 5^th house. In the Zodiac, the 12^th sign is Pisces, the dual watery sign ruled by Jupiter while the 5^th sign is Leo, the fixed fiery sign ruled by the Sun signifying the brain and its function, genius, originality etc. The 12^th house is actually the 8^th house counted from the 5^th house i.e. the house of weakness or destruction for the 5^th house. So, if the 12^th house be afflicted by malefics causing bed discomforts such as by night-wetting, it also causes destructive effects in respect of the 5^th house such as in the form of reduction of intellect, brain activity etc. Thus, astrologically the research work is explained.

Older brains become less coordinated

In Astrology, brain is signified by the Sun which is the origin of the entire nerve system which communicates the instructions of the brain to the different organs for their functioning. The nerve system is signified chiefly by Mercury and also by the Moon and to some extent by Saturn. Sun is also the significator of vital energy of body and sound health. Saturn is also the significator of old age and is the bitter enemy for Sun and vice-verse. Therefore, with the advancement of age, function of Saturn in the body goes on increasing and consequently, the function of Sun starts decreasing. This in turn weakens the brain and consequently the nerve system as well and as the result the coordinating function in the body becomes less effective thus receiving the astrological support for the research output.

‘Well-read women sleep better at night than men’

In Astrology, the Zodiac represents human beings in general. The starting point is the first point of Aries signifying the Ascendant and the spouse is signified by the sign Libra. Aries is the cardinal fiery male sign ruled by Mars and Libra is the cardinal airy sign, although male in nature, is ruled by the typical female planet Venus and as such signifies female beings in general. The academic career and also the habits of study are signified by the 4^th and the 5^th house in a natal chart. Therefore, for female beings in general represented by the sign Libra, the corresponding signs are Capricorn, the cardinal earthy sign and Aquarius, the fixed airy sign both being ruled by Saturn. Saturn is also the significator of sleep. Therefore, if these signs and Saturn be strong and unafflicted by malefics, the female being will be highly educated and also have sound sleeps. This is also reflected in the natal chart of an individual lady with the corresponding houses and/or their lords together with Saturn. Thus, astrologically this research work finds suitable explanation.
