Kids of pregnant smokers aggressive

All sorts of intoxication including smoking are characterized by Rahu in Astrology. 5^th house in a natal chart indicates offspring for a male being while for a female, it is the 11^th house. 5^th house also indicates pleasure, enjoyment of different levels indicated by the natal chart. Rahu in the 5^th house in a male chart or in the 11^th house of a female chart aspecting the 5^th house indicates pleasure on the physical plane in different ways. Rahu being a symbol of a demon as narrated in Hindu mythology has the characteristics such as greed, anger, cheating tendency to acquire other’s wealth etc. During pregnancy the smoking habit of the “would be” mother increases the activities of Rahu in her body and as the consequence in the carrying child. Therefore, such a child who has been induced to high degree of Rahu’s vices through the smoking habits of the mother during pregnancy would likely exhibit the Rahu’s characteristics like high degree of anger etc. Thus, the research work arrives at the conclusion as is well supported by Astrology.

Scientists say giving birth can be orgasmic

Although a birth of a child of a human being or a sub human group is apparently the result of union of a male and a female being arising out of their lust, but actually it is the result of the inherent desire of any being to fulfill itself through the counter part of other sex and keeps foot-print of itself in the path of future i.e. to expand oneself in the battle field of the environment. This type of expanding the self in many ways is a matter of joy and enjoyments which, it is believed was done by the Creator Himself at the time of creating the universe. In Astrology, such pleasure through the reproduction of oneself is characterized by the 5^th house of a natal chart. In the Zodiac, the starting point of life cycle is the sign Aries and the 5^th sign is Leo, the fixed fiery sign ruled by the Sun, the source of creation in our terrestrial life. Thus, it is logical to conclude that life finds its pleasure through the creation or otherwise in terms of material phrase. It can therefore be said that giving birth to a child is actually an orgasmic process and not merely a hunger for physical lust.

School stress driving teens to smoke

Smoking and all other intoxications are characterized by Rahu. Rahu is also the significator of anxiety, tension, anger, lust and other demonic vices. 5^th house indicates merit based education as also mental strength while 4^th house indicates memory based education as also external activities of mind. Therefore, impact of Rahu on either of these houses by position or aspect is likely to cause mental strain arising out of educational pressure and at the same time it may also give rise to the habit of smoking being the function of the same planet Rahu.
