A sign of being available for a relationship

Some months ago maybe this year’s February I was looking for an auto- rickshaw & so was a mongoloid female with 2 heavy bags. She was fair & with the help of colours had made her black hair become blonde. I found her struggling maybe because of the new place, hot weather, slow wind speed, high humidity, heavy luggage, etc. The hot weather even at around 17:00 hrs had made her face red. She was sweating a lot. There weren’t many people around.

After a long wait I got an auto-rickshaw before her. She looked at me with an expectation for the auto-rickshaw to be shared. Luckily we both were heading to the same direction hence shared the auto-rickshaw. In the auto-rickshaw I offered her water. The distance was long so we got to speak for some time. I asked her, ‘Are you new to this city?’ She replied, ‘Yes, I’m new to Mumbai & I’m from China.’ After a while she asked, ‘Do you reside in Mumbai?’ I remember answering yes enthusiastically. We spoke a lot about the positive aspects Chinese people have. She found it pleasing & found me knowledgeable & helpful person & took my phone number.

Some days later she contacted me as she wanted to visit some places in Mumbai for shopping economically. I helped her to do that. Whenever we met I noticed her wearing a flower on her left ear.

One day we were discussing Asia’s future due to climate change & she got to know that I know Astrology. She shared her birth details with me & I told her that soon someone is going to fall in love with you.

After some days she met & asked, ‘Am I not looking different today?’ I didn’t find her different but just to put a smile on her face said ‘You look pretty always but today you’re looking gorgeous ’My reply worked & she smiled but again asked me the same question & I became a bit blank as I didn’t know what to say.

She then asked, ‘Didn’t you notice I’m wearing a flower on my right ear today.’ I answered, ‘Yes.’ but asked, ‘What’s the big deal with it?’

She found me too innocent & naive. After some time she said, ‘A woman wearing a flower on her left ear means that she is available for a relationship & if it’s on her right ear then it means that she is either in a relationship or unavailable.’

I was glad to have learnt something that I didn’t know. I was overjoyed by the fact that she found someone who’ll accompany her for shopping & I can make myself scarce to complete my Master’s research.

To check if what she had told really had some significance I did a bit of Google search & found that wearing flowers on ears is a trend amongst Hawaiian women. I who follows Hawaiian path, Aloha didn’t know about it.

OM and Lord Ganesha

On 14^th August 2013, at around 14:30 hrs at Candies restaurant in Pali Hill I got a silver coin from an affectionate & a very nice lady I’ve ever met. The silver coin had the symbol of OM on side & the symbol of Lord Ganesha on the other.

I wondered whether these 2 symbols are connected & found that OM is written in different ways at different places. One of its forms symbolises Lord Ganesha. The upper curve is the head with trunk. The lower curve is the stomach.

Both OM & Lord Ganesha are very significant. People following Hinduism know that Lord Ganesha is the remover of obstacles & many pray to him before starting anything auspicious. Similarly people following Hinduism begin their auspicious work by saying OM once. Most mantras that Hindus recite begin with the word OM. Hindus while praying also use the word OM. OM is the symbol of the unchanging eternal universal supreme GOD. OM is the sound of the movement of the stars in the firmament; it’s the sound that manifested when the dawn of Creative Will stirred the Niraakaara (the Attributeless) into activity. (Bhagwan Shri Sathya Sai. SSS6, Chap. 42. Pranava the praana.) OM is also the most sacred of symbols, representing the primeval sound of creation & our most powerful mantra in prayer & meditation.

Lord Ganesha’s head is of an elephant. An elephant is a very nice animal. It eats satvic food only & has immense strength. It signifies the importance of eating satvic food to progress spiritually.

Lord Ganesha’s large head & ears indicate that he gained wisdom from listening. An elephant’s trunk is one of the few instruments in nature that can perform both gross & subtle actions. It can not only uproot a huge tree but also pick up the tiniest of needles. It inspires us to be able to develop our intellect, our powers of discrimination, in both gross & material world & also in the subtle or spiritual world.

Lord Ganesha in his right hand holds a hook or Ankusa & in his left holds a noose or Paasa. These tools were & are used by elephant-trainers to tame wild elephants. Symbolically, mind at times is like a wild elephant that runs between past, present & future. So one must use ankusa to tame & control his/her mind & noose to tie it down & keep it close to self.

Lord Ganesha also has a big belly which contains the whole universe. It symbolises an art to live i.e. one must accept & digest whatever experiences one goes through be it good or bad. Thus during all the trials & tribulations one must be equal-minded & realise that all experiences are learning experiences which brings us closer to GOD.

Lord Ganesha sits with one leg folded up & another leg rests on the ground. The leg on the ground signifies that one can live in the world like anyone. But the leg pointing upwards signifies that one’s concentration & meditation should remain focussed on the godhead within.

Lord Ganesha holds a Lotus flower, a Lotus flower grows in spite of being in stagnant or polluted water. It inspires all to grow in spite of living with the negative & political people around us.

Psychology about couple holding each other’s hand

Yesterday I had a rendezvous with a member of United Nations in Candies restaurant at Pali Hill.

For those who don’t know about Pali Hill, it’s a place in Bandra & Bandra is a small place in Mumbai city & Mumbai is the biggest city of India.

Seeing young men & women as a couple & holding each other’s hand is common in Bandra as many colleges are located there & it’s close to Mumbai’s seashore. While going & returning to Candies restaurant I saw many couples holding each other’s hands.

Although I’ve seen couple holding each other’s hand many times but I became inquisitive yesterday about the Psychology of hand holding while my friend was shopping earrings.

The thoughts that came in my mind were that our body has many nerves & many nerve endings are in our hands. Holding hand may stimulate the nerve endings. The stimulation can be pleasant or painful.

If it’s pleasant then brain releases oxytocin. Oxytocin is a chemical that hypothalamus in brain produces. Oxytocin makes people feel good. It also lowers the stress hormone levels. It relaxes the body, improves mood & pain tolerance. Oxytocin also acts on the dopamine reward system & brain releases dopamine. The release of dopamine gives immense pleasure thus couple hold each other’s hand.

A present that caused ectopic heartbeat

Today I had a rendezvous with a member of United Nations who is also a very nice & good looking person with beautiful dimples. Its monsoon & rains in Mumbai are unpredictable so I wanted to meet her at a place that is nearby to her to prevent her from much travelling. She however convinced me to meet at Candies at Pali Hill which is close to where I stay maybe she was too concerned about my convenience.

She left Mumbai around 4 months ago from today to work with United Nations in Delhi. When she left it was heartbreaking for me, for some days I was very low. It’s extremely difficult for life to go on in the same way when someone with a commanding, dynamic & fiery personality moves to another city.

I was nervous being unfamiliar to that restaurant but still highly exhilarated as within some moments I was about to meet a very nice member of United Nations whom I highly respect. She reached the restaurant earlier than me. The guilt of not being able to reach in time in spite of staying close to the restaurant exceeded my nervousness & made my knees become weak.

With tremendous adrenaline rush I somehow managed to enter the restaurant. With extreme nervousness & sheer exhilaration, some questions that were running in my mind were, whether I’ll be able to recognise her, how I should call her, by her name or Miss (her last name).

Luckily I located her in less than 15 seconds after entering not by seeing her face but by seeing her lustrous wavy hair. I went nearby & found her paying the bills that highly disheartened me. Free food so many times from her, didn’t make me understand how to take it.

I didn’t know what to tell her & what to consider. I wondered if I should speak to her like the way I did before or respecting her like one respects a member of United Nations.

She looked the same person with the same attitude she had before being a part of United Nations.

We took the food & luckily found a nice place to sit. Time was around 14:15 hrs, sky was overcast but no rains, wind speed was around 12km/hr, temperature was around 27 degrees, in short weather was pleasant for me. The restaurant TV was tuned to a channel called Movies Now & on air was Jumanji movie. I was extremely overwhelmed with bliss to have such a nice company, at such a nice ambiance.

We had just started eating & she presented me a small pouch with a big box of cookies. Somehow by the grace of GOD I didn’t become unconscious by her generosity.

She asked me to open the pouch. It was from a jewellery shop. Initially I thought that she wants to show me a ring which she might have got from some admirer of her but I was so wrong. When I opened it I found a silver coin with a very auspicious sign on it. That moment caused ectopic heartbeat to me. I didn’t know what to tell her. I was extremely elated. The radiance on her face & the gaze of her eyes had made me blank. Words couldn’t define her generosity. What I got is extremely precious. In my opinion one may get something similar but getting something so auspicious from someone whom he/she likes & respects & also who is so nice, means a lot. I think that I didn’t become unconscious because of the very auspicious silver coin with OM written on it & on the reverse the icon of Lord Ganesha.

She quickly kept the presents in my bag & commanded me to eat food. It reminded me of the days when she used to do the same. I felt that the extreme elation & so many thoughts running may make me unconscious but luckily I was okay & didn’t collapse.

We finished eating so many dishes & moved out to shop. I may have spent around two & a half hour with her but it seemed only a few minutes to me. (Albert Einstein’s relativity)

I don’t know what to tell her & how to thank her as I owe a lot to her. I’m indeed grateful to GOD for making me meet such a generous, honest, humble, kind, sensible, trustful person. Although she is 4 years younger to me her generosity & humbleness makes me a nervous, shy & timid. I know many females but I’ve never been so comfortable with them. I don’t know what is so different in her maybe it’s because her birth date is close to mine. I’ll always remember her in a very special way. I wish wherever her life takes her may she always have immeasurable bliss, happiness, joy, prosperity, the best & finest things & all the good luck possible for anyone to have.

When quiet they’re very quiet & when loud they’re very loud. People born in Scorpio Ascendant have their presence felt. They never go unnoticed.

Physically they have beautiful eyes, long & a bit broad face, broad forehead, long hands, long legs. They’re generally tall.

His birth Nakshatra is Uttara Ashadha & Lord of this Nakshatra is Sun. Sun is in its friend Moon's sign Cancer & Moon aspects Sun also Sun is in a good house i.e. 9^th house. Sun is also the Lord of 10^th house. Thus Sun here is strong. 9^th house is connected to father & Sun is also connected to father. As Sun is strong he got birth in a royal family. Sun will bless him honour, fame, recognition, power, good health. He'll also have a good soul as Sun is connected with soul & would be found of celestial things. Sun will also make him learned, intelligent & well respected. He’ll have knowledge of many languages. He’ll be a man of authority & power. He’ll also be altruist & charitable.

He’ll get honour through learning, philosophy, research publishing & writing. He can even shine as a politician. He’ll also be a religious person. Sun is in Pushya Nakshatra. Lord of Pusyha Nakshatra is Saturn. Although Saturn is exalted but still his relationship with his father is likely to be tainted due to personality clashes.

Moon was waxing during the time of birth & Moon is in an earth sign Capricorn. Moon is connected to mind. A waxing Moon in an earth sign Capricorn will make him calm, caring, humble, kind, patient person. He’ll have a pleasing personality with charming manners. He’ll even sacrifice whatever possible for those whom he loves & also for those who love him. Moon will also help him to do well at music & other arts. He’ll be found of travelling, exploration as Moon is in a movable sign. He’ll also be found of investigation & research. He’ll like solving unsolved mysteries. Moon also aspects its own sign Cancer in 9^th house from 3^rd house thus 9^th house becomes strong. 9^th house is connected with fortune, luck, spirituality, father, etc. Thus fortune will favour him & he’ll be well off. He’ll believe in spirituality & his father will be a respectable man in the society.

Lord of the Ascendant Mars is in 8^th house with Jupiter. This will make him a scholar with excellent academic records. He’ll also be clever, dexterous, skilful. He’ll be inclined to occult science. This position of Mars can also cause some unfortunate events in his life, which may affect his fame. From 8^th house Mars aspects 2^nd house & 2^nd house is connected to family. Mars is a natural malefic due to this he may have arguments at times with his family members.

2^nd house has Sagittarius sign & it gets aspect from its Lord Jupiter from 8^th house. Thus 2^nd house becomes strong. 2^nd house is connected to family & wealth. Jupiter is a natural benefic & a good planet for Scorpio Ascendant natives. Thus Jupiter will bless him with a good family & wealth. Jupiter is with Mars & Mars is Lord of Ascendant it’ll make him a righteous & courageous person. He’ll be an idealist. He’ll show maturity during difficult situations & would even think that life is incomplete without difficulties. Jupiter being in 8^th house will also bless him with good rank & gain from ancestral property as 8^th house is connected to ancestral property. To his 2^nd house 4 planets aspect, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury & Saturn as many planets aspect he’ll have a big family & will live in a joint family. There is a possibility of some misunderstandings with his family members due to his words or statements being misunderstood. At times he may have arguments with them. In extreme cases there is a possibility of strained relationship with some of his family members & his domestic happiness may become a problem.

Mercury is the Lord of Gemini & Mercury is with Mars in Gemini this may make him use his hands while speaking & it may enhance his expressions. He can also be good at mimicking others & due to this ability he’ll be a good entertainer with a good sense of humour. He can do well in the field of films, theatre as an actor. Mercury with Jupiter & Mars will make him impeccably intelligent. He’ll be excellent at Maths. He’ll get a lot of gifts from his family members. He’ll also get legacy of his parents. Mercury is connected to intellect with Jupiter he’ll believe in spirituality. He’ll also have interest in knowing about the future. It will also make him a self controlled person & fair patience. Mars, Mercury & Jupiter all these 3 planets are supportive karkas of 10^th house & as all these 3 planets are together he’ll be renowned for his professional work. A negative aspect here is that Mercury is with Ascendant lord Mars, both Mercury & Mars are in the Nakshatra of Rahu & get aspect from Rahu as Rahu is in 12^th house. Although it’s in its own sign but as it’s in 8^th house in the Nakshatra of Rahu & gets aspect of Rahu due to which he may face criticism & scandals. People may create stories about him. A good Sun, Moon & Mercury will help him to handle stressful situations. He’ll have equanimity of mind & also with the support of his partner he’ll overcome the allegations, criticism & scandals against him.

Regarding his love life he’ll be cautious in selecting a partner as he’ll have fear of making a mistake Taurus is in 7^th house. Taurus is the sign of Venus & 7^th house doesn't have any aspect from any malefic. Lord of 7^th house Venus is in 10^th house in Leo sign. Sun is tremendously strong in his birth chart. Venus also doesn't get aspect from any malefic & thus he'll be blessed with an honourable & gorgeous partner. His partner will be very supportive & helpful to him. She will be a good friend, philosopher & guide to him. She will contribute immensely to his advancement & progress. He’ll also be very devoted to her. Venus in 10^th house will also give him a jolly nature. He’ll be pious & will enjoy all comforts of life. Most of his contacts will be of higher social-economic pedestal.

Saturn is connected to old age, misery, sufferings & Saturn is exalted thus native won't have many problems in his old age, his sufferings will be limited. Saturn is Lord of 3^rd house & it’s in 12^th house thus he may be quite dominating at times & would want his wishes to be granted & his orders to be obeyed. At times he may get rebellious or terrible antagonist. At times this temperament may impel him to do something which isn’t right.

Rahu is with Saturn in 12^th house. Saturn is exalted. In some Astrological texts I've read that a malefic in bad house i.e. 6^th house,8^th house or 12^th house is does good for the native, thus these planets will do good for him.

He has some very good yogas in his birth chart.

One of a rare & very powerful yoga he has is Adhi Yoga: - Jupiter is 6th from Moon & Venus is 8th from Moon. As per BPHS at the time of birth natural benefic planets i.e. – Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus situated in the 6^th, 7^th or in the 8^th house from natal Moon gives rise to Adhi yoga (provided the planets giving rise to this yoga are neither joined or get malefic planet’s aspect)

Varahamihira had also cited that this yoga arises from the Moon alone. B. Suryanarain Rao, defined Adhi yoga as all benefics must be in 6^th, 7^th & 8^th, or in 6^th or in 7^th or in 8^th, or in 6^th & 7^th or 6^th & 8^th or in 7^th & 8^th.

Mantreswara in his Phaladeepika had stated that Adhi yoga arises even when 3 natural benefics occupy the 6^th, the 7^th & the 8^th house from the Ascendant.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has Adhi yoga in his birth chart. In his birth chart, Moon is in Pisces sign; Jupiter is in Leo i.e. 6^th from Moon, Mercury is in Virgo i.e. 7^th from Moon & Venus is in Libra i.e. 8^th from Moon.

Prince George also has Ubhayachari Yoga: - (Venus is 2^nd from Sun & Mars, Jupiter & Mercury are 12^th from Sun.) A person with this yoga is attractive, learned, responsible, rich, & he/she enjoys worldly pleasure.

Lord of 10^th house is in 9^th house thus he’ll have a desire to do some philanthropic & social work also people born in Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra are generally philanthropic by nature. He can be good at Psychology & Anthropological studies as his birth Ascendant is Scorpio, Moon was waxing during the time of his birth & Moon also gets Sun’s aspect & Lord of 10th is in 9th house.

Vipreeta Raj Yoga: - Lord of 6^th house Mars is in 8^th house thus he has a Vipreeta Raj Yoga. People born with Vipreeta Raj Yoga rise in life. They become wealthy & even get fame.

Sarla Yoga: - This yoga is formed when Lord of 8^th house is in 8^th house. As Lord of 8th house Mercury is in 8^th house, 8^th house becomes strong. 8^th house is connected to ancestral property. Thus he's destined to get ancestral wealth.

Cancellation of Kemadruma Yoga: - Moon & Sun are considered best benefics or best planets for Scorpio Ascendant native. Moon is in waxing & in the nakshatra of Sun. Here Sun from Cancer sign i.e. sign of Moon aspects its best friend Moon thus kemadruma yoga will get cancelled. A powerful Sun’s aspect on Moon will also make him a dutiful & high achiever.

Cancellation of Sakata Yoga: - Sakata yoga is formed when Moon is in 6^th house, 8^th house or in 12^th house from Jupiter. Sakata means “cart”, or wheel. The fortunes of a person with this yoga rises & falls. In simple words it means fluctuating fortunes. As he has a  Adhi Yoga as 2 benefics Jupiter & Mercury are in 6^th house from Moon & Venus is 8^th house from Moon thus Shakta Yoga gets cancelled & his fortunes won’t fluctuate.

In his birth chart most of the planets i.e. Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn & Rahu himself are in the Nakshatra of Rahu which is Ardra. Rahu is connected to controversy, exaggeration, invincibility, etc. Thus some life events may create controversies & scandals or he may face criticism. On a positive side he can be enduring & invincible.
