In ancient India astrology was so superlatively dominant that no one could think of not consulting an astrologer or taking the advice of an occult practitioner, ojha or a priest before taking any action at all. Even today, in times of technology and development of the physical sciences, Indians wouldn’t dream of not acting in accordance with the advice of an astrology practitioner.

This inherent fear has created a vast opportunity for the business of astrology. Modern communication technology has bridged the gap between the consultant and the seeker and only helped the business of astrology flourish more. The fear of the unknown gives an impetus to the business of astrology and foretelling the future, for everyone seeks to know their own future. Astrology is the mother of all sciences. It provides an insight into what is and will be according to the movement of the stars and planets, which have a huge impact on our daily lives, both spiritually and astronomically.

The influence of the internet now widely impacts astrology. This influence of the internet can be easily discerned in the transformation of astrological tools, from the traditional panchang to software apps. The trend has led to studying software apps pertaining to the Panchang and astrological calculations. And it has eventually given a boost to the modern day astrological business, thereby helping many.

Gone are the days when one needed to consult an astrologer to have one’s horoscope made and read. Technology now enables easy reading of one’s own horoscope on the internet. Computerised Kundali reading has played a pivotal role in the commercialisation of the system, leading to the mushrooming of a plethora of astro businesses in almost every city in the country.

Astrology has always been a strange subject, but its popularity is undeniable. Human beings are curious animals, ever keen to peek into the future. The craving to know the future has often driven us humans into a black hole. We always jump at an opportunity to know about the future of our business, jobs, career, money, health and so on.

The spread of astrology is mostly owing to the youth, who are apprehensive of the future and aim to control it. The youth believe that staying updated of the future will help them prepare for it in a more organised manner. Another reason for its phenomenal growth and popularity is the host of entrepreneurs who have taken up astrology as a business in the past. These entrepreneurs are further providing advice in the form of modern, practical and radical solutions. Undoubtedly, the popularity of astrology as a business has been spurred by the fear of what lies ahead.

In the past few decades, astrology has seen massive growth as a business. The introduction of modern-day technology has contributed to its increasing popularity. Online astrology is one of the fastest growing businesses globally. According to a media survey, the astrology market in India alone is expected to be worth close to $3 billion dollars by 2020.

Astrology as a business is not a myth. It is a reality, aided by software, and is capable of generating revenues. The business of astrology has risen to disproportionate levels and is one of the biggest income grossers, but its spiritual soul has got lost somewhere in the process.

It is very unfortunate that astrology is now devoid of the human touch. These days, fortune tellers regularly use ready reckoner kundli-making computer software and smartphone apps, which lead to inaccuracies and failure. So in the business of astrology only money is growing and not the science.

Some people want a forecast according to their whims. But seldom is any fortune teller able to meet their expectations, writes Praveen Chauhan

People come to an astrologer, fortune teller of various disciplines, with the inherent wish that he/she will foretell all about their destiny with a razor sharp precision. Beside, tragically they also desire to have forecast according to their dreams and whims. But seldom is any fortune teller able to come up to the expectation of the seeker. Resultantly, the fortune teller is ridiculed and the predictive sciences are mocked. After pondering over the causes and circumstantial facts, I reached the following conclusion:

Destiny

It may so happen that the fate of the person, who wants his future read, does not favour the person in knowing his future. This may seen farcical but it is not. Even in modern times, with all the development of science, patients keep dying of fully treatable diseases. If a person is destined to die, he will die even of a simple ailment. If fate plays a role here, why will it not play the same role regarding astrology? Here, we should be aware of the Vedic knowledge that there are three things which are predestined and can never be altered: The place, family, and the physical structure we are born with; with whom we will be married; and the way, time, and cause of one’s death. Rest is fate which we can improvise, beget, regain and alter with various methods.

Nature of future

In present times, science divides the universe into two parts — known and unknown; whatever is unknown today will become known tomorrow, everything will become known one day. Modern science believes that over a period of time, everything will become known to mankind. But our enlightened ancient rishis had affirmed that certain aspects of existence are beyond the domain of human knowledge. Even the iconic cosmologist Stephen Hawking explored that beyond a limit, nothing can ever be known; similarly, innumerable aspects of future foretelling are also beyond the human domain.

Lack of mastery

Perhaps this could be the foremost reason. Most of the fortune tellers, after learning the initials, find it difficult to resist the temptation to start foretelling. Once the clients start flocking to them, they lose the urge to keep learning further. Also, they are left with little time to make efforts to learn more. Knowledge has no boundaries and no one could ever master or can master any specific branch of knowledge; there is always scope for learning further, and astrology is such a science which has infinite and boundless realm.

Inappropriate Data

Though astrology is a form of advance mathematics, a soul and spirit can never be dealt with hypothetical data. These days, fortune tellers regularly use kundli making computer software, smartphone apps, which leads to inaccuracies, because the numerous ephemeris differ from each other so much that it seems incredible. The fortune teller should use most accurate data for calculations.

When a client comes to a fortune teller for a kundli reading, he/she wants to give them the most accurate and worthwhile prediction. Having the wrong birth time and place can also make a big difference in forecasting. A difference of 30 minutes can mislead the predictions by years. If any planet’s sign or house placement is incorrect, the forecast might make no sense at all. This would be a serious waste of the astrologer’s time and a big disappointment for the client. This is one of the vital reasons why predictive science has got a bad reputation.

Ignorance of astrology

Vedic astrology is the oldest, and most scientific based systems are immutable cosmic principals but this is not being given proper patronage by the academics and media. Astrology is even mocked at in films. Besides various other factors are responsible for the disregard of Vedic astrology. Some of the Western astrologers mislead by saying that astrology originated in Babylon, Egypt, and Rome. They are reluctant to accept that field and rishis like Aryabhatta, Varamhir, Parashara, Jaimini gave it a sound mathematical standing. The system of Vedic astrology is a far more competent system of analysing future forecast.

Because of the close proximity of the moon with earth, it has a deep and significant effect upon the latter, writes Acharya Praveen Chauhan

It has been and is the greatest belief in the minds of mankind that the changing phases of the moon have a vital significance in all walks of our lives. And it is the truth that in the universe everything is correlated and the nature surrounding us has an inevitable connection with human beings. It is also true how nature behaves creates an indomitable effect on our physical being. Because of the close proximity of the moon with earth, it has a deep effect upon the latter.

The moon, for example, is significantly interwoven in mythology, folklore, classic literature, poetry and music and prominently in astrological studies. Theoretically, the water in our body, which roughly amounts to 70 per cent of our physical existence, is periodically affected by the phases of the moon in the same way as its gravitational force controls the tides and tidal eddies. The fluidity in our body shifts and changes the balance in our mind, which activates our emotions to the extreme. Lunar effects on our body and mind was known to ancient Indians and the English word ‘lunatic’ is derived from ‘luna’ or the moon.

Why Worship Lunar Deity?

The lunar eclipses and its changing cycles have always played a symbolic role in all religions, in ancient Egyptian, Mayan, Greek, Roman, Arabian culture and in all tribal faiths and beliefs during ancient times and till date.

Indians have been keen observers of nature and studied the moon in all its spectrums and manifestations. Although plants need sunlight for photosynthesis, Hindus linked their growth to moonlight. Thus, all vegetation, which consists of fluids, depends on the moon for its growth. All major Indian festivals are observed on full moon days. Vedic astrology pays significant importance to the moon. It is the common belief of Hindus that moon is a worshipping deity.

Purnima in Vedic Astrology

The full moon emanates the most vibrant and luminescent energies of the lunar cycle whenever the earth is between the moon and sun. The moon (chandra) is of feminine gender, an indicator of mind and emotions, and the ruler of zodiac sign Cancer. In horoscope, Cancer is placed in the fourth house, which is the most emotionally sensitive among all 12 zodiacal signs. The moon spends roughly 2 1/2 days in each sign and takes 28 days to circumnavigate the zodiac. Whereas the moon reacts and the sun acts. The positivity moon manifests are sympathy, memory, joy, enthusiasm, peace of mind, care, receptivity and patience. And the negativity moon manifests include mood swings, worry, tensions, depressions, suicidal tendency and emotional instability, and consequently these qualities have a vital effect on compatibilities of making relations. In vedic astrology, the moon is an indicator of mother, pregnancy, brain, intelligence, pride, emotions, behaviour, romance, gardens, salt, medicines, travel abroad, milk, etc.

The lunar cycles are very important for magical workings. Most occult can be created and performed only when the full moon period is in constellation, but these occult rituals are intended to cast the magical spell at that specific time. Tantric rituals, meditations, psychic development, dreams and divination are particularly related to the phases of moon. Unarguably, the stock market average returns are much higher during periods closest to the full moon.

Human body and The Moon

Our physical body has two types of energies — prana and mind or consciousness. In every organ of the body, there are two channels supplying energy. The lunar energy enters the pineal gland and takes control of all activities from night till we wake up. The meditative rituals during the full moon help in going inwards; transcend the mind and to full divinity within. The hormonal pineal gland reacts to the bioelectric signals of light and dark, and meditation activates this bioelectric energy.

The lunar effects are surprisingly particular to humans; it is hard to believe that humans were the first life to be benefited by the lunar rhythm because the body maintains a 28-day cycle of hormonal and physiological characteristics. The female menstrual cycle is a notable example. Our behaviour, health and physiology run on the 28-day cycle of some kind. It is not coincidental; we have a particular relationship statically between various phases of moon and of human biology. Certainly there is a mystic connection between fertility, birth rate, reproductive factor, sexual behaviour and the lunar cycle.

The Mind and The Moon

Human mind consists of the conscious, sub-conscious and para consciousness, and they relate to the positioning of the lunar phases. Our sub-conscious mind is full of positive and negative imprints. The sub-conscious mind is the repository of impressions, memories and thoughts which we accumulate during our lifecycle. The moon effects our sub-conscious by bringing the thought frequencies to the surface. When these frequencies rise to the conscious, we feel irritable, crazy and mindless. It is a proven fact now that on full moon days, people with psychic disorders may feel increased emotions and anxiety. On full moon nights, our unconscious surface through, and we can use this time to balance our overactive mind.

Mystic Behind Full Moon

It is evidently clear that the full moon influences crime and our sexual life. Some species of animals mate during the full moon for propagation. The full moon flows the signals to animals and human beings for similar effect on their sexual life. Though it will remain a subject of debate that how human beings turn more romantic, sexual and energetic during full moon, the changes in our sexual life are predictably inevitable. The hormonal surge is at its peak during full moon and mythological hormonal changes drive the mythological sexual beast inside a person. With the mystic power of full moon, romantic relationship scale higher peaks.

The effects of full moon among women is of increased sexual desire, deep intuition and the emergence of new ideas, while men become inwardly focused, feel escalated libido and feel more tempted to satiate their sexual desires. Women’s sexuality is liquid so it is highly affected by the phases of the moon, which if simplified mean the different phases of the moon affect different parts of a female body.

There is also a correlation between crime and the full moon, which is variedly substantiated by the authorities on crime. The Scotland Yard has concluded many times that there was a big rise in violent crimes during the full moon.

To some up briefly, I shall quote: “Oh it’s a full moon. That’s when all the crazy people come out.”. Accordingly, we must realise how dynamic full moon is. Spiritual remedies can help protect us from the harmful effects of full moon.

Freud gave dreams an unfortunate legacy; he taught us to associate them with psychological problems. But in reality, most dreams are healthy and engaging, writes Praveen Chauhan

A dream is an unconscious psychological phenomenon occurring during paradoxical slumber. There are, in effect two types of sleep: slow sleep and fast or ‘paradoxical’ sleep. They can be distinguished by the simultaneous registration of active currents of the brain(electroencephalogram), the muscles and eye movements. Slow sleep always precedes fast sleep in a moving cycle, which occurs four to six times a night.Fast sleep is deeper than slow sleep and yet the sleeper experiences at that time a cerebral action: The electroencephalogram indicates fast waves of low voltage,which resemble those emitted by a conscious brain. At the same time muscular tone disappears. The muscles become paralysed: The sleeper is completely isolated from the outside world. At that precise moment, he dreams. A dream is made up from a series of scenes in which we play a role, either as actor or spectators. Moreover, most of our dreams form a more or less connected scene sequence.

Our dreams are independent of our will and of our sense of moral responsibility. We have no control over them whatsoever. We can only watch them unfold. Certain situations from which we would normally recoil in horror occur in our dreams without our feeling the least qualm of conscience. The dream evolves through all the dimensions. It takes no account of space or time. As for any reasonable probability, it completely scorns it.

When we are asleep, our conscience, our reason and our vigilance cease to exist because our cerebral cortex is asleep. There is an infinite variety of dreams. Some retain a precise logical shape in our minds and some leave no impressions at all.  You can remember a dream if you are awakened during the paradoxical sleep phase which coincides with the dream. But if you are awakened say 10 minutes after this stage, you remember it no more.

On the other hand, some dreams trouble us deeply. How many people are afraid of going to sleep because of the terrible dreams that haunt their night! And how many there are, on the other hand, who can’t wait to start dreaming again so as to escape from some painful reality!

Why do we dream?

This mystery question is easy to ask but difficult to answer. The most honest answer is that we do not yet know the function or functions of dreaming. This ignorance should not be surprising because despite many theories we still do not fully understand the purpose of dream. Over the years there have been many theories as to why we dream and the function dreams serve. Are dreams merely part of the sleep cycle or do they serve some other purpose? Dream research offers many theories, but still no definitive or unifying answer to the question: Why do we dream?

Scientists generally seem to agree that dreaming is a form of thinking during sleep, even that may be the knock-on result of random electrical impulses. It’s generally accepted that dreams contain at least some psychological meaning, but this doesn’t necessarily provea purpose, such as problem solving. Overall, our scientific understanding of dreams is still quite vague. In a way, Freud gave dreams an unfortunate legacy.He taught us to associate them with psychological problems and anxieties. But in reality, most of our dreams are healthy and engaging — aren’t they? Dreams are a mixed bag. The truth is, science still doesn’t have a complete answer.Researchers are still trying to figure out exactly why we dream.

Do dreams foretell future?

Perhaps. According to legend, Abraham Lincoln told his wife that he dreamed he had been assassinated just days before he was killed. But no one really knows whether dreams can act as crystal balls,because it’s nearly impossible to study the phenomenon. Many people often ask themselves this question. We have seen that the dream stems from the unconscious, that’s to say, from the hidden region where exists our secret tendencies, our complexes, our repressed feelings, along with desires which we would never dare admit to in our normal state.

From this point of view then, a dream is infinitely superior to our reasoning faculties. The visions we see in sleep are supposed to be expressions of our individual psyches and imaginations, but most people’s dreams are based on themes that are very common. Anything can happen in your dreams. You can run, you can fly, you can fight, you can dance, or you can kill a person. Few very common dream symbols are flying. Each detail of the dream matters. Try to remember the whole dream like the places you went, the items, and the colour.

Try to figure out what you are doing, who else appeared in your dream, what was the interaction between you and other people in your dream, the animals that appeared, what they were doing. The sort of dream (school, exams, being condemned to death) is very common. It is always linked with the dreamer’s present situation. The school represents ‘the school life’. The exam means ‘let’s see whether you’re sufficiently equipped to go through life’. In case of a particular dream, the answer is no; in fact the dreamer is condemned to be torn apart.

In other words, the dream is saying, ‘You’re not capable of facing the problems in your life. You’ll have to die to be born again; you’ll have to purge yourself of all that’s bad or false in you; so you’ll have to be torn apart, that’s to say, broken down into pieces. It’s essential to do this. You’ll have to break yourself down so as to analyse yourself and know yourself better. When that’s done, you’ll be able to put together all the scattered fragments of your personality, and make a new start,more clear-sighted and dynamic.’

I hope that through this example of common dream I have been able to show the extent to which everyday dreams can put us on the track. Very often, people think they are ‘somebody’, and believe they have a ‘strong personality’. But a quick simple analysis will show that it’snot the case at all because basically the person is weak and frightened, a mass of complexes. Plenty of dreams have marked the beginning of new lives. Why?Because the dream disturbed the person concerned.

Some dreams can make you happy, refresh you, energise you, give you a new lead and set you on a new course of action when you wake up. But some dreams can puzzle you, even frighten you. The worry someones you can dismiss as just dreams.

The Virgo(Kanya Rashi) is a Zodiacal Sign ruled by Mercury and  it will retain in the position of Virgo till September 11, 2017, almost the time of a year.

There is the logical and there is the astrological. The twain meet and co-exist. It depends on how you deal with the portents. Govern their stars,Fools are governed by their stars Astrology, through an exact science, is only a “guideline”. Its purpose is to lead you in the right direction. At the same time, it can help you avert disasters. What, you might ask, has astrology to do with food? I can only repeat, in analogy, It can lead you to eat foods that will help you remain healthy, whilst warning you to avoid foods which can cause major ailments.

We are controlled by five elements: fire, earth, air, water and ether.The zodiac classifications also known as “zodiac types” do not take cognizance of either. There are three signs in each of the other four classifications:

Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are the FIRE types. Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn the EARTH. The AIR classification includes Gemini , Libra and Aquarius, Whilst Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are the WATER wallahs.

ARIES

Aries- The Ariens should eat lots of yoghurt and drink plenty of water,but not chilled. They should avoid anything that can cause kidney stones-cabbage,tomatoes, rajma (red kidney beans), lobia (black-eyed beans) or other forms of beans. Due to their dynamic nature they should eat more food rich in calories. The fiery nature of the Aries influences the selection of spices and they prefer very spicy food. So, if you are not a big fan of hot and spicy food, their meals will not satisfy your taste. Aries-born have a huge appetite and love to experiment with food. Sometimes they are not very careful when they eat, which can be a reason for the occurrence of health problems.

TAURUS

Taureans are true gastronomes. They have a huge appetite and know how to enjoy in the food.

They do not care about their own health and often will overeat, especially when they are nervous. Due to their sensitive stomach, Cancerians often need to control their enormous appetite. On the other hand,they make a great company at the table. They always inspire with stories about their specialties, recipes and the origin of food.

LEO

There aren’t too many “Dos” and “Don’ts” for Leos, but they must avoid foods that cause “Gas”, especially fried foods. Leos are also prone heart problems and so must forego foods with high cholesterol levels lobsters, prawns and other crustaceans. They should eat carrots, radish and lots of Fruits-foods that provide ruffage which, in turn, help to keep their weight under control.

Virgo is the only sign that can be on a diet, without ever succumbing to the temptation to cheat. Slow metabolism is another problem for the Virgos, so they need to consume foods that are easily digested. Virgos have too sensitive stomach, so they should be more careful what they eat. People born under this sign make magic in the kitchen. They do not experiment with new products and spices, but no one can resist their delicious dishes.

Libras are real food lovers. Every meal is a feast for them and they do not miss a opportunity to try everything they have available – salad,appetizer, main course and dessert.

The aesthetic appearance of the food and table is especially important to the Libra. They love good wine,especially red. If you want to surprise them, do not try with ordinary foods such as pizza or omelet. Carefully select a fancy, gourmet restaurant that will satisfy their refined taste.

Scorpios can not pretend when the food is not cooked according to their taste. Scorpios love high calorie food and they often get hungry, even at night.An empty refrigerator and the absence of spices can literally make them furious.

The fire types particularly Sagittarians , make the most creative cooks.They are not the type to be restricted by the recipes and culinary cliches.

They love exotic, non-standard and spicy foods, cookies, cakes… Their diet can often go from one extreme to another.

Aquarians :  People born under this sign are often vegetarians, due to their humanitarian nature. An additional reason for their fondness for vegetarianism is that they love vegetables and fruits, and would gladly replace the meat with a serving of fruit salad.

The downside is that Aquarians can sometimes exaggerate coffee and late-night eating.

PISCES
