Marrow transplant may have cured AIDS

In Astrology, the significator of bone-marrow is the planet Mars while that of AIDS is mainly Rahu. A weak or afflicted Mars is the root of problems related to bone marrow. Transplantation of bone-marrow, therefore, reduces the weakness of Mars i.e. strengthens it. Mars being a strong enemy of Rahu, its gain in strength naturally tends to reduce the harmful activity of Rahu such as the probability of developing AIDS, thus providing a support on astrological basis to this research work.

Smoking worsens premenstrual woes

According to astrological principles Rahu is the significator of all sorts of intoxication including smoking. For a lady, the menstrual function is controlled by the Moon and the Mars combinedly by transit both of which are considered to be strong enemies for Rahu. Of these two planets, Moon signifies the breast portion, the sensual feeling etc. So, an affliction by Rahu through smoking habit is likely to affect the menstrual cycle causing the symptoms viz. backaches, bloating, breast tenderness and acne. Thus astrological reasoning can explain the research work successfully.

People are programmed to be fat, long before they are born

When a native is born, it gains from the parents their contributions in the form of chromosomes. In Astrology, this is signified by the position and strength of the Sun and the Moon, the respective significators of father and mother. Moon signifies in a natal chart the nutrition and growth factor of a body, while fatty foods are mostly signified by Jupiter which is a strong friend of the Moon in the Zodiac in terms of Astrology. So, a strong and unafflicted powerful Moon in the natal chart with a good relation with Jupiter signifies astrologically the growth of the body with fatty foods. Therefore, excessive fatness or obesity as it is called may be signified by Moon in a natal chart which is responsible for the maternal contribution to the physical growth of the native. This maternal contribution is transmitted through generations in the form of chromosomes reflected astrologically by the strength and affliction of the Moon. Thus Astrology finds a successful interpretation for this research work.

Deep sleep boosts creativity

In Astrology, planet responsible for sleep is Saturn and that for creativity is the Sun, the two being natural enemies to each other. Saturn is also responsible partly for the nerve system while Sun is the origin of the entire nerve system being significator of the brain. Therefore, a weak and/or afflicted Saturn in a natal chart while causing lack of sleep also afflicts the activity of Sun thereby weakening the memory and the creative function. Saturn also signifies the tiredness of body which requires for the recovery, the extra energy of Sun which therefore gets somewhat exhausted for contributing its strength towards other functions like creativeness. But having a good sleep is equivalent to benefic influence of Saturn which indirectly strengthens the function of the Sun thereby increasing the creativity and restoration of the memory i.e. enhancing the function of the Sun and the Moon as a whole. Thus the research work receives a support from Astrology.
