Sunbathing aids Cancer risk

In Astrology, Rahu is the significator of extra physical growth like tumor, Cancer etc. while Rahu itself being of demonic nature according to Hindu mythology indicates the malignant nature of such growths leading to destruction of the body. In the solar spectrum, Rahu rules over the ultra-violet region. Therefore, too much exposure of body to sunlight is likely to increase the disease. But in the solar spectrum, there are regions which are antagonistic to the action of UV rays on the body. Therefore, frequent exposure of the body to sunlight also provides for an opportunity of the skin to receive more of the protectiveness from the solar spectrum against the activity of Rahu i.e. it gives the body a remedial measure against skin Cancer. From astrological view point it may be said that the Sun being the first rate enemy for Rahu and vice-verse, the Sun will make all efforts to minimize the action of Rahu on human body. Thus, the research work appears to have correctly arrived at the conclusion supported by astrological principles.

Thus, the research work may be explained with astrological principles.

HIV like virus existed since beginning of evolution

HIV disease actually originates from the perverted sex habits of human beings. It may also be termed as the sex habits like those of sub-human group animals. In terms of Astrology, Rahu is signified as the source of all the perverted activities and habits because mythologically, it being a demon acts in the opposite way of the deities or normal human beings which may also be ascribed to the natural retrograde motion of the two points of intersection of the orbit of the Earth around the Sun and that of the Moon around the Earth in terms of Astrology. Since, planetary influences act upon all living beings without any prejudice from the very early stage of life on the Earth, therefore, it is not surprising that the effect of Rahu had started its action in the early stage of life on all sub-human groups of animals and for which adverse perverted action may be supposed to be of higher degree because sub human group animal did not posses the intelligent and consciousness of human standard. Therefore, it is very likely that fossils of HIV germs could be available in the early stage of evolution of life thus supporting the essence of the research work in terms of Astrology.

Binge drinking makes body resistance weak

In terms of Astrology, all sorts of intoxication including drinking are said to be caused by Rahu, signifying a demon deeply immersed in the ocean of lust and enjoyments. Rahu is said to be a first rate enemy for the Sun, the Moon and the Mars because according to Hindu mythology the sun and the Moon exposed Rahu’s demonic self to all, while Mars signifying the warrior planet in our solar system is also inimical for Rahu because according to Medical Astrology Rahu is the origin of destructive action of health by excessive animal like pleasures and Mars representing the military or protective force for the human body should act in the opposite way of living habits. In other words, the Sun, Moon and Mars representing respectively the vital force, the nutritional effect and the protective force for the human life should be at the opposite pole so far as Rahu’s activity is concerned. Therefore, it is quite justified that Rahu’s action in the form of binge drinking should try to reduce the protective force of the human body in the form of self resistance and immune system, thus providing a support to the outcome of this research work.

Take the ‘write’ way to spot a liar

In Astrology, Mercury stands for all sorts of communication such as speech, hand writing, electronic media, press, messenger etc. Mercury is termed as the child planet in our solar system and normally stands for Sattwa guna i.e. truthfulness, honesty, simplicity etc. These qualities are, therefore, reflected in the mode of communication. But if afflicted by malefic like Saturn or Rahu, these good qualities become converted into reverse ways i.e. instead of truthfulness it begets lying habits, pretension instead of simplicity, dishonesty and moral turpitude instead of honesty etc. Therefore, these perverted qualities of Mercury also find expression through their properties of mode of communication like hand writing, vocal expression etc. Therefore, a scrutiny of hand writing is very likely to reveal the truthfulness or lying habits of the native as has been established in this research work which, therefore, is supported with the astrological principles.

Since, Libra is the 11^th house counted from Saggitarius which, in turn, is the 3^rd house from Libra, generosity succeeds in raising the attraction of the environment for neighbors signified by 3^rd house. Again, Cancer being the 10^th sign from Libra, which signifies that environment, attains its highest expression in the form of emotional feelings for friends and close relatives.

Climate change catastrophic for health, say doctors

In terms of Astrology, climate change has a relation with the transit of Sun in the different signs of the Zodiac and also bears a relation with the latitude and longitude which causes a relative change of the planetary influences on the place concerned. In addition to the local geographical factors for each individual native, this change may vary depending on the natal chart and the phases which the native passes through at the time.

Thus, the research work arrived at the conclusion which is satisfactorily explained in terms of Astrology.

Atheists more successful at online dating

Dating in respect of love affairs in the so-called modern societies actually bears no-relation with love in the true sense of the word. And in modern days, these online dating seem to be an advanced technique in such matters which should be better identified as more related to shameless sex affairs rather than true love. In Astrology, Rahu is the significator for such shameless animal like hungers. According to Hindu mythology Rahu is the demon which is characterized by the natural antagonistic attitude towards deities or the God who are symbolized for sacred and pure love. In other words, it is the Rahu which is the symbol for atheist people. Therefore, by nature such people should have a natural tendency for activities like online dating. Thus, the research output seems to be satisfactory explained in terms of Astrology.

Men lie six times a day

In Astrology, life is considered to start in the sign Aries. The lord of Aries is Mars – a typical male planet. The sign opposite to Aries is Libra which, although a male sign, is ruled by Venus, the typical female planet. All considerations regarding life activities in general are considered from Aries as the Ascendant. Speech which is a function of mouth is judged from the 2^nd house and Mercury in general. For Aries Ascendant i.e. male natives in general, speech is therefore considered from Taurus, the fixed earthy sign ruled by Venus which is the significator of all tact, acting, sweet behavior etc. while for the Libra Ascendant i.e. for female beings in general, the speech is considered from the sign Scorpio ruled by the Mars which is the significator for straight forwardness. But Scorpio being the 8^th sign of the Zodiac also signifies secrecy, hiding tendency etc. Therefore, for a male being words uttered are more liable to be tactful and of acting nature although very sweet apparently, while for a female being these being of more straight forwardness are less likely to be lie compared to those of male beings although the probability is not totally ruled out because of secretive nature of the sign Scorpio. Thus the research work can be well explained in terms of Astrology.

Magnetic ‘hijab’ to cure headaches

In Astrology, all sorts of pain particularly of chronic nature are signified by Saturn which is also responsible for fatigue. Magnetic force is considered to have origin in Mars, which is a strong enemy to Saturn. Human body is actually a tiny magnet and therefore can allow magnetic lines of force to pass through it, whereby the cellular magnet becomes aligned so that the magnetic behavior of the body becomes exposed. As more and more body cells come into alignment, more magnetic properties become prominent i.e. the function of Mars becomes enhanced in human body thereby reducing the effect of Saturn resulting in cure of headache, fatigue etc. thus, the research study is well interpreted in terms of Astrology.

Pain cream may protect heart damage during attack

In Astrology, the heart of human body is judged from 4^th and 5^th house of the natal chart. In the Zodiac, these are the signs Cancer and Leo respectively ruled by Moon and Sun in order. Moon and the Sign Cancer signify all sorts of sensation and feelings while Sun and the sign Leo are significators for skin of the body. Deposition and aspect of Saturn and/or Rahu on the 4^th and/or the 5^th houses and/or their lords and/or the signs Cancer and/or Libra or Moon and the Sun may result in heart attack with sensation of pain or skin disease.
