The Sun God

Methinks, in my last post I forgot to indicate the bhavas (houses in horoscope). Have a look at the image. The house where 9 is written is first bhav. Move on

anti-clockwise to each of the house till you reach 8, that is 12th house. Hence, in the given example House 1 - 9 (Sagittarius), House 2 - 10 (Capricorn), House 3 -

11(Aquarius)...so on House 12 - 8 (Scorpio). Now, 9, 12,3,6 signs of the given horoscope comprise the Kendra!

From today onwards, I will start off with each of the planets & give inputs how we can strengthen it! I will also give a brief idea about the traits of people who are

governed by the respective planet!

Starting off with Sun:

Any person born with Leo sign on ascendant (first house) has Sun as its main planet! If the Sun is not in Libra (debilitated), Taurus, Capricorn,Aquarius (enemy planet signs), it will give good results! Such people have leadership qualities and are fond of art & literature! Most important, if well placed, Sun will make the native extremely visible wherever the person goes! To strenthen the Sun, following can be undertaken! Anyone who desires status & recognition, has unfavourable relations with father/paternal uncles, higher authorities, goverment should take up the following(besides those having Leo ascendant):

1. Perform Surya sadhana (worship) every morning. It is not necessary to take bath and all, just be fresh. Take a garland of RAKTACHANDAN with 108 beads.

Chant Gayatri Mantra looking towards the rising Sun. Smile while looking towards Sun. Within 40 days you will realize the difference in you! If not continue for 160

days! Try to wear bright red clothes(or white) while doing this.

2. Chant the Gayatri Mantra/any Surya mantra(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=surya+mantra&aq=f&oq=&aqi=) standing under a Banyan tree!

3. Offer water to Sun using a Copper vessel. The water should contain preferably - Red Chandan & red flowers, if possible. The water should drop as if the rays of Sun

should fall on you passing thru the water. The water should either drop on muddy ground (so that it dries off in earth) or in a vessel(which shoul dthen be poured off

on any tree with fruits and flowers). The water should NOT touch anyone's feet or so!

4. Do Surya Tratak (gazing at rising Sun). Search on http://www.google.com/ for details(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=surya+tratak&aq=f&oq=&aqi=).

5. Try to build good relations with Father or any fatherly figure in life. Gift him bamboo stick (used for walking) on Sunday.

6. Share things with your father. Have warm sweets (jalebees) and milk with dad, specially on Sunday.

7. During the brighter moon (Shukla Paksha), on each Saturday night put 2 pieces of almonds in water. Next morning on Sunday, peel off the brown cover, give it to

your dad to eat.

8. Avoid burning stick incence (agar-batti) at home. Instead use dhoop-batti (it does not have bamboo sticks).

9. Have your dinner by 8 pm in the evening at the most. This will also improve the status of your stomach.

10. Wash your eyes 3-4 times with water daily. Fill your mouth with water & then wash your eyes by splashing water onto them around 15 times at a time!

The first 4 give relatively quick results, bringing in greater concentration & good relations with superiors & father along with recognition. Other bring results slowly!

One should try to take on the above for atleast 3-5 years for best results. Continue for a lifetime if possible. I might come up with more in the coming days!
