Housewives more prone to heart attack

In Astrology, the 7^th house signifies spouse. In the Zodiac, it is the sign Libra ruled by Venus which is considered to be a female planet in Astrology. The 10^th house from Libra is the sign Cancer, which is the 4^th sign of the Zodiac, the cardinal watery sign ruled by Moon signifying mind, home, domestic affairs, family etc. Therefore, for housewives in general the sign Cancer rules over the working sphere. So, any affliction in the sign Cancer by malefics like Mars which gets debilated here and Saturn and Rahu which are strongly inimical to Moon may cause anxieties or unhappiness involving domestic affairs. The sign being watery in nature is also likely to cause excessive fat in the body particularly in Lungs and Breast portion. Any or a number of these factors is likely to enhance the probability of heart attack to the housewives. Thus, the research study is well interpreted by astrological principles.

Researchers can detect a lie through handwriting

Both speech and handwriting are ways of communication between any two persons. In Astrology, the planet Mercury is the significator of both. Mercury is the ruler of the two signs Gemini and Virgo in the Zodiac. Both the signs are Sattwik in nature. Of the two, Gemini ruling over the neck and hands of the body is particularly responsible for the speech and handwriting traits. Mercury being designated as the child planet in the planetary kingdom of our solar system has by nature childlike simplicity and truthfulness. Any affliction of Mercury by malefics like Saturn or Rahu is likely to distort these qualities of Mercury. As a result, the native having such afflicted Mercury in the natal chart is likely to be deviated from the truthfulness resulting in telling lies which will at the same time be reflected in the other traits of Mercury i.e. handwriting. Thus, the outcome of this research work is well explained by Astrological principles.

Teetotalers at higher risk of depression

In Astrology, all sorts of intoxication are signified by Rahu, while Moon being a watery planet is also related to drinking habit. Moon in a natal chart, if posted in the 2^nd, 5^th, 6^th or 12^th house is likely to cause drinking habit in a native. 4^th and 5^th house in a natal chart are significators of mental conditions. Saturn in these houses causes depression confined to the internal mental condition while Rahu in these houses causes in addition to depression out bursting external behavior. The same result is also expected if Moon or the signs Cancer or Leo be related with Saturn or Rahu. A teetotaler i.e. a person who was a habituated frequent drinker is expected to have in the natal chart Moon combined with Rahu because Rahu has the dual function of increasing as also of cutting short of any trait. Therefore, such a person while withdrawing the self from the habit of liquor is naturally expected to immerse in the sea of depression due to the effect of reactive drug of Rahu on mentality. Thus, the outcome of this research work can be well explained in terms of astrological interpretation.

Job worries worse for health than no work

In Astrology, job is judged from the 10^th house or its lord counting from Ascendant, Moon or Sun whichever is stronger or all three in sequence of time. If the 10^th house or its lord be weak, the native is very likely to be jobless. But if the 10^th house or its lord be afflicted by malefics like Mars, Saturn, Rahu, weak Moon, afflicted Mercury etc., the native will suffer from constant troubles and anxieties. As the more abusive effect of such combination will cause the worries more severe than those arising from jobless condition, its impact on the Ascendant which is in square with the 10^th house will affect the native’s health signified by the Ascendant. So, this research study is supported by astrological consideration.

Brisk walk helps live longer

In Astrology, planets are divided into two groups i.e. creative and destructive. The creative group is composed of the planets viz. the Sun, Waxing Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Ketu while the destructive group is made up of waning Moon, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Rahu. Sun is considered to be the origin of all living beings on the Earth and its external manifestation is represented by Mars which signifies quickness of action, expression of internal force of activity etc. and Saturn, which is the significator of death, is the slowest moving planet in our solar system excluding Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Saturn is also considered to signify the very old people who had their mobility highly reduced or even totally lost. Therefore, brisk walking which is the Martial function is likely to enhance the level of physical smartness in any native of all ages and thereby will reduce the effect of Saturn like Decrease of mobility and in turn the probability of advanced death risk. Thus, the outcome of this research work finds a strong support from astrological principles.
