Can’t remember? Try Beatle’s turns to jog memory

An active mind may be the devil’s workshop

In Astrology, Moon signifies the mind and it is the quickest moving planet in terms of Astrology and therefore, its activity is fastest. Mars signifies sharp and strong activity and although a planet belonging to the creative group as classified in Astrology, is described as natural malefic. Therefore, a combination of Mars and Moon may also induce evil nature in the native. If Mars be afflicted by malefics like Saturn and/or Rahu, it is likely to increase the functions of the house/sign and the planet associated with or aspected by it and is by nature a strong malefic. Therefore, a relation between Moon and Rahu, while increasing the active nature of Moon is also certain to make Moon strongly evil in functions. But if Moon be related with natural benefics, it will endow the native with an active mind of benefic nature. It may, therefore, be concluded correctly that an active mind is not necessarily of good nature, but may be of evil nature depending on astrological conditions, thus supporting the outcome of this research work from astrological point of view.

Women undergo more pain then men- study

In Astrology, planet signifying pain particularly chronic in nature is Saturn, which also forms a part of nerve system. Planets signifying women are the Moon and the Venus, the former being the more important as the highest expression of Venus is the Moon since the sign Cancer ruled by Moon is 10^th sign counted from Libra ruled by Venus and the 3^rd sign from Taurus also ruled by Venus. Moon also signifies the sensitivity of a native and Saturn being a strong enemy of Moon is likely to cause more pain when afflicting the Moon. Mars signifies pain due to sudden blow and is more likely to cause pain when afflicting Venus in a natal chart because Venus also signifies female beings and belongs to opposite group of planets in the Zodiac. Mars, Sun and Jupiter signifying male beings are all inimical to Saturn, but they do not cause so much pain as Moon since they are not so sensitive then Moon.

Experts on track to unravel secrets of immortality

In Astrology, start of life is signified by the 1^st house or the Ascendant of a natal chart and the death is signified by the 8^th house. In the Zodiac, these are the signs Aries and Scorpio respectively, both being ruled by Mars. It is important to note that both life and death are signified by the same planet Mars. For life it is in the form of fire as Aries is a fiery cardinal sign of Tamas nature while Scorpio is a watery sign of fixed and Rajas nature. So, practicing some measures relating to the planet Mars is likely to continue the life process discarding the probability of death. In other word immortality is not an imaginary probability as realized by the scientist.

Also, Saturn is considered to signify time, aging, death etc. i.e. normal death is experienced after passing through a considerable time causing aging. But if it possible to adopt some measure to cause time dilatory or absolutely motionless with respect to the particular native, immortality may be possible to be awarded on him. Also, the sign Scorpio signifies the hidden energy of the soul which is termed as “Kula Kundalini” and the planet Saturn signifies self-discipline termed as “Tapasya” in Hindu philosophy. Therefore, a joint function of Saturn with the sign Scorpio signifies awakening of the hidden soul energy in a native which leads to increase of longevity ultimately resulting in immortality. Thus the astrological support can be extended to the success of this research work.

Lack of joy in life ups early death risk

In Astrology, joy is judged from the fifth house of a natal chart and longevity from the eighth house. Death is the termination of longevity. In the Zodiac the fifth sign is Leo ruled by the Sun and the eighth sign is the Scorpio ruled by Mars - another planet of the creative group and as intimate friend of Sun. Eighth house is fourth from the fifth house and conversely fifth house is the tenth from the eighth house. This signifies that place of happiness of joy is longevity and reversely the highest revelation of longevity is in joy. So, if due to some afflictions by malefics the fifth house be disturbed in a natal chart, its consequence reduces the longevity and conversely if reduction of longevity is likely to cause early death in a native it in turn causes restriction of joy in a native’s life. Considered from another angle of view, Saturn which is the planet signifying death also signifies sorrows, lack of pleasure, happiness etc. In other words, lack of pleasure and happiness are identified with death in terms of Astrology. So, outcome of this research work is satisfactorily explained from astrological view point.
