We choose partners who look like our parents

In Astrology, the husband or wife is judged from the seventh house of a natal chart. For a male being mother is judged from the fourth house and father from the tenth house. For a female being the reverse is the case. Now, the highest expression of the seventh house is the tenth house from the seventh i.e. the fourth house of the natal chart. Therefore, the wife of a male being will be preferred as his mother’s copy and for a female being the husband will be preferred as her father’s copy. Therefore, this research work is supported by astrological reasoning.

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.

Obese’ more likely to develop Cancer- Study

In Astrology, obesity is said to be developed in a native due to the influence of watery signs viz. Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces and the planets Moon, Jupiter and Venus. Rahu plays an important role in this matter as it itself signifies a demonic figure and also increases the function of the sign it is posted in and the planets related with it by association or aspect. Rahu is also the origin of the disease Cancer by virtue of its nature. Therefore, wherever obesity is caused by virtue of a relation with Rahu, the probability of the native’s being attacked with Cancer is also equal. Therefore, Astrology provides a successful interpretation of the outcome of this research work.
