Free “Eclipse Check” for Members
We reported in our blog on total solar eclipse, that “those who live in these areas with sidereal lagna (ascendant), moon or sun in cancer between 14 to 16 degrees may be adversely affected. Implications for individuals can be detailed only after analysis.”
We at DecisionCare have decided to provide an analysis of the indian astrological implications of this eclipse for our members free of charge for next few days. Please fill out our contact form with membership info and we will check your welfare in the context of this eclipse astrologically. Those who are not members currently are also welcome to avail of this free service by enrolling as a member.
Know your Personalized-Astro-Alert (PAL) Score
In response to several questions about Personalized-Astro-Alert (PAL) and synodic period of planets in last blog, we discuss the key concept of hierarchical time scale that has led us to craft this new index PAL for decision making.
We believe the motion of the planets in zodiac signs and constellations influence human lives. The planetary motion cycles overlap and create complexity. Let us analyze the different length scales (hierarchical) that the planets take to move around the zodiac. The Moon travels the quickest, taking only 27-1/2 days to go through all 12 signs. Mercury, Venus, and the Sun all traverse the wheel in approximately one year. (The Sun’s apparent motion around the zodiac is what defines our year
Circadian Rhythm, a Personalized-Astro-Alert (PAL)
Circadian Rhythm is an approximate daily periodicity, a roughly-24-hour cycle in the biochemical, physiological or behavioral processes of living beings. “During the past 50 years, converging evidence reveals that the fundamental properties of the human circadian system are shared in common with those of other organisms. Concurrent data from multiple physiological rhythms in humans revealed that under some conditions, rhythms oscillated at different periods within the same individuals and led to the conclusion 30 years ago that the human circadian system was composed of multiple oscillators organized hierarchically; this inference has recently been confirmed using molecular techniques in species ranging from unicellular marine organisms to mammals.”, notes a recent study from Harvard Medical School (2008).
The circadian patterns typical of someone who rises early in morning, eats lunch around noon, and sleeps at night (10 p.m.) is shown in the diagram below (taken from wikipedia).
The cartoon shows solar day synchronized human physical activity – direct influence of sunlight on our hormonal state.
Recognition of universal presence of hierarchical mutiple oscillators in “all species ranging from unicellular marine organisms to mammals” by Harvard research group is noteworthy. Where does this hierarchy emanate from? A question deeply linked to the hierarchy of time scales (connections to solar and perhaps lunar cycles are well accepted in quantitative circles).
For those of us who are well-versed with planetary cycles of Vedic astrology, it doesn’t come as a news, though a quantitative link to synodic periods of all planets remains to be established yet. It is well-known that differing time scales of planets, from fast moving moon to slow moving saturn, pack up a rhythm in an uniquely hierarchical way (dasas and transits on natal planets) for every individual constituting his/her Personalized-Astro-Alert (PAL).
While we work towards understanding the material basis of these multiple rhythms via dilligent research, we must learn to utilize the well-known principles of Vedic astrology to improve human lives.
5 Essential Habits to Avoid Financial Disasters
These are the most essential habits to prepare for disasters such as the recent subprime mortgage meltdown. These tips only take about 5 minutes a day and will help you throughout your life.
1. Simply be aware of the possibility that financial disasters happen often. Time and time again, national financial disasters/ national physical disasters happen, yet people never think it will happen to them. Business expansions and recessions happen in cycles. The current banking crisis was preceeded by one 15 years ago (Savings and Bank Loan crisis), and another one twenty years before that, and so on… Just being aware that these things happen several times over the course of one’s life will naturally make you more proactive on preparing for disasters.
2. Keeping records/ backups of your records. It is important that you keep your bank accounts statements, so you can know exactly how much money you have stored and how much debt you have. Also, if you ever ask someone for advice to improve your finances, the first thing they will ask is for your records so they can help you reorganize your finances. It only takes a min to put any new mail that comes from your bank every day into a simple file or storage cabinet.
3. Reading the news and blogs to keep up-to-date. Imagine how bad you would feel now if you had bought a new house the day Bear Stearns (one of the largest investment banks) collapsed because of subprime mortgage problems, and had not read the news just two days before. A simple glance of the front page of the newspaper or a news website would’ve made you think before you purchased a new house. Unfortunately most of us do not even have the time to purchase a newspaper every morning. Instead, we should use the Internet and email to our advantage. The easiest way to keep up-to-date is to subscribe to blogs which are relevant by entering in an email address on their website for a daily email. It often takes only 2 min of your day to quickly scan the email, and see if anything is important to you, and there is no downsides, as you can turn off the daily updates whenever you wish to easily.
4. Ask friends and other people for advice. People who know you well will know your characteristics and sometimes can give advice on things like spending habits you didn’t notice about yourself. Also, keeping a personal diary for at least a few months will show you things about yourself that are hard to see day by day.
5. Consult a financial advisor or an astrologer. While it is normally a good idea to talk with someone who has experience doing finances, in these dire times you often need more than just financial advisors. Astrologers have an incredible amount of experience talking about people who are going through hard times because they often visit astrologers. Therefore, a good/reliable indian astrologer can give lots of sound advice, both planning for the future and recovering from the present. In fact, a number of financial advisors visit indian astrologers themselves.
In countries all over Asia, people do not commit to any important decisions without first consulting with an astrologer. If you have not had the experience of an Astrological reading, it never hurts to try, because of how fast and inexpensive it is nowadays to get an individual horoscope and reading.
Eclipse Influence and Astrology
An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when one object in the sky moves into the shadow of another. The term is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, i.e. when the Moon’s shadow crosses Earth’s surface, or a lunar eclipse, i.e. when the Moon moves into the shadow of Earth.
A recent excellent article describes eclipses and how to view them. Another website gives more detailed info about future lunar and solar eclipses to occur up to 2020 and the geographic region of visibility.
This sky event is known to play a significant role in lives of individuals, corporations and nations. According to Vedic astrology the impact of eclipse is focused on the region of its visibility. The influence of eclipse in individual life depends completely upon the house and sign in which the eclipse occurs, and upon any close planetary aspects that may also occur.
On Friday, 2008 August 01, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses half the Earth. The path of the Moon’s umbral shadow begins in Canada and extends across northern Greenland, the Arctic, central Russia, Mongolia, and China.
A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon’s penumbral shadow, which includes northeastern North America, most of Europe and Asia. The Aug. 1 eclipse may presage major events in China (We know the Summer Olympics begin Aug. 8 ) and other regions over which the eclipse is visible. Those who live in these areas with sidereal lagna (ascendant), moon or sun in cancer between 14 to 16 degrees may be adversely affected. Implications for individuals can be detailed only after analysis.
Connecting Decisions – Watch Night Sky
Here is a link to a view of the sky from HubbleSite. Enjoy the cosmic sightseeing made possible by the modern technology. A wonderful guide to constellations, deep sky objects and events.
Learn about the objects that Astrologers claim influence your life and decisions. Try to see if you can relate these to the microscopic genome in you which medical experts say influence you. One set of objects, planets far away from you on the zodiac, the other set, genes deep inside you, distributed in each and everyone of your cells.
Can you connect both of these sets and more than that both of these sets to your own individual entity and its total functioning? Difficult, isn’t it? For some, it may even be mindless to try. Genes may be logical but stars and planets, perhaps, far-fetched.
But that’s how science has been in all ages. It needs faith to look beyond. Ask those who feel the connection and then seek for yourself.

Venture Capital Decisions – Astrology Portfolio: Part-II
In Part-I, we recommended that all venture capital application submission should require submission of an astrological portfolio along with other required documents for evaluation. In addition, we suggested that the first item of this astrological portfolio should be the horoscopes of the senior management.
Here we discuss the second required item of astrological portfolio in order of importance. This item is the time and place info (as accurately as possible) when the venture is undertaken first time. Any additional information about the timing of associated concept formations as well as timing of relevant patent applications should be noted. The horoscopes cast on the basis of these timings using Vedic Astrology will provide an in depth understanding of the potential of these new ideas, patents and the venture. In addition, the dasa timing combined with transits will provide an insight into the project growth and success timeline.
We at DecisionCare have an astrological portfolio format available (by email using our contact form) for venture capital investment application for those who will like to start using them. In our upcoming blog, we will discuss the other important requirements of this portfolio using indian astrology.
