Date of Birth: June 3, 1986
Place of Birth: Manacor, Majorca, Spain
Zodiac Sign: Gemini
Chinese Astro Sign: Tiger

Born in Majorca, Spain, Rafael Nadal, fondly referred to as Rafa, the King of Clay is a Gemini. Shy, humble and very down-to-earth, he is definitely not the typical Gemini male. Or it can even be a case where he may have different shades to his personality and the public one may be starkly dissimilar to how he is in private. Even when he began his career he rarely spoke much and addressed everyone around with a polite smile. His rise has been phenomenal and he has rewritten history every now and then. The one person who has been an influential figure in Rafa's life is Toni Nadal. It was Toni who saw the potential Rafa had and coached him since he was a 3 year old.

Today, Rafa is one of the few players around to have won all four grand slams and has also proved his supremacy on all surfaces. There are times when Rafa seems like an invincible force on court, ready to blow away all competition. He is ruled by the element air and is most likely to be a complex person. He has the ability to think on different issues simultaneously and yet think with clarity. The month of June is very lucky for Rafa, as we have witnessed year after year with his wins at the Rolland Garros. Forever on the move, it will be hard to confine him in one place.

He is very attached to his roots and cares deeply about his family. He will find it easy to remain in a committed relationship and will be loyal to the one he truly loves. He will mostly be compatible with Librans, Aquarians and Gemini. Gemini is a sign which is known for its flirtatious nature but in the case of Rafa, it's the exact opposite. Loved by many and adored by innumerable fans, Rafa has the charm and the attitude to make girls go weak in their knees. Read More!

All About Aura

What is AURA?

We all are born with an aura of our own and this is reflected in our personality traits, type, nature and the skills that we have. It is nothing but an energy effect, an electromagnetic energy field within and around us. It is found in every living being, including trees and animals. This defines how we are perceived by others.

Our aura plays an important role in shaping our behaviour, likes and dislikes. It's an inner power which shapes our view and the way we look at things and life.

There are numerous Chakras throughout the human body. The word 'Chakra' means 'Wheel'. The Chakras are responsible for energy flowing from one part of the body to another and as with all things in our life, they are linked to sound, light and colour. Negative thought patterns, a polluted environment, trauma, poor eating habits, addictive substances or even stress and poor breathing techniques can cause inbalances in Chakras.

People in ancient times gave a lot of importance to the role played by the Chakras and found them to be energy reactors to invoke their latent power and for their spiritual development.

There are seven chakras 'wheels' in your body and these perform and release different kinds of energy. Our aura is considered to be the truest expression of our thoughts, feelings and emotions.

A healthy aura is believed to be bright and luminous, radiating positive energy and vitality. Weak and damaged auras are considered to be small and tend to have broken and dark spots. Indulging in negative behaviour and being stressed out leads to a weak aura which is further susceptible to negativity. 

Vaastu and Prosperity

‘Home, sweet home’ that’s the general opinion we all have of our home. Whether big or small, with all our family members, our home seems to be the most comfortable place in the world. To retain this comfort and maintain a healthy atmosphere at home, it becomes indispensable to keep our home safe from all negative vibes and energies.

How do we keep negative energies away from our home? Well, you don’t have to run door to door looking for solutions to your problems. You can rely on Vaastu Shatsra to provide you with answers to all your household problems. The term 'Vaastu' comes from the Sanskrit word 'Vas' (dwell). Vaastu is a part of Vedic wisdom that tells us how to arrange our homes and offices effectively, efficiently and in a manner that will attract luck and good fortune.

Follow simple Vaastu tips and no one can deny you peace, harmony and positive energies that you are trying to sustain in your home. Normally, Vaastu Shastris are consulted only at the time of construction of a building. However, it is essential that we involve them even at the time of purchasing a site. From purchasing a plot to construction of doors and windows, wall colours to placing decorative items in our house, we need to pay attention to every minute detail.

As suggested by Vaastu, a site that slopes down to the north or to the east should be selected for the construction of your dream house. And preferably, the site is either square or rectangular in shape. Avoid all sites of any irregular shapes, as they will be lacking in the positive vibrations that is essential for an all round development. Read More!

Hollywood actor, director, producer and screen writer George Timothy Clooney was born on May 6, 1961 in Lexington, Kentucky, United States. He made his acting debut on television in 1978. However, fame and recognition came a little late in his life. It was his portrayal of Dr. Douglas ‘Doug’ Ross on the long-running medical drama ER from 1994 to 1999 that made him very popular.

Sun in Taurus

How will it impact you?

Taureans are generally strong, deliberate, practical, determined, persistent, compassionate and trustworthy. The planet Sun represents the self, personal power, pride, authority, leadership qualities, creativity and most importantly, one's personality and ego.

When the Sun is present in Taurus, it makes an individual more stubborn, rigid in attitude thus making the person stand firm in his/her decisions and fixed in goals. They are rooted in the physical world and are more inclined towards the worldly pleasures, seeking all sorts of luxuries and comforts. It also brings joie de vivre and adventure in the mundane life of a Taurean.

The influence of the Sun makes Taureans very strong and creative enough to reach their goals with determination, hard work and sharp mindedness. It will make them confident from inside but will make them a little slow to act. They prefer to pursue everything late as it gives them enough time to study the matter meticulously rather than doing things in haste. Moreover, once they do something, they do it in the best possible way.
