Everything about Aries

How much do you know about the first sign of the zodiac, Aries? The symbol of Aries is the Ram and the ruling planet is Mars. The influence of Mars makes this astrological sign a bit headstrong, determined and hot headed. If you are an Aries, get to know more about yourself or discover more about an Aries man or woman in your life. Get up close and personal with an Aries!

Personality: You love to take on new challenges and even lead the way, offering new ideas and finding easy solutions to problems that might seem baffling to others. But in all this, you can't be rushed; you certainly cannot work with someone breathing down your neck. Given the freedom, you will enjoy the challenge and do your best. Although you are a pleasant company, you may not be the most popular person around, but that is something you don't take to heart. For you, it is more important to be honest and to be able to speak your mind.

Love: When in love, you don a pair of rose-tinted glasses and the world is a magical place for you. The idea of romance captivates you and you ignore all else to be near your beloved. Candlelight dinners, soft music, slow dances, late night walks hand in hand by the light of the moon on remote windswept beaches - everything is possible, and it does not stop there, Aries will profess undying love for their beloved - a promise they are most likely to keep. Your ideal life partners are most likely to be other Aries, Leos, Sagittarians, or Scorpios.

Erotic zones: The head is your most powerful pleasure zone. You are all charged up when your partner strokes or just plays with your hair or rubs your scalp. And to all women! If your partner is an Aries, just nibble his ear, this will give him strong uncontrollable urges.

Aries woman: You are a highly passionate woman and enjoy taking the lead in everything. You will not hesitate in making the first move. You enjoy male companionship. You will make your man understand your motives and enjoy watching his reactions to your moves. The seduction of a man to you is a conquest, even if he is a man in whom you have only a passing interest. You can have a long relationship, only with a man you can be proud of and look up to.

Aries man: You are masculine and have that strength in body, mind and character. You are gifted with a strong, muscular and athletic physique. Your courageous nature and confidence in your abilities prepares you for any life challenges. You are ready for anything adventurous and thrilling. You are highly imaginative and creative and can easily come out with new ideas and concepts.

Health: You are always on the move and don't have the time to eat sensibly. Your eating habits mirror your busy lifestyle: lots of starches and fats, not enough of proteins, vegetables and fresh fruits. You drive yourself very hard, always striving to reach the top, often landing yourself in stressful situations, resulting in related disorders: heart disease and stomach ailments. You are advised to set aside some time for eating nutritious, balanced meals at the right hour. You are most vulnerable around the head, eyes and face.

Profession: You make good professionals and generally do well leading from the front. Fields like engineering, medicine, space science and metallurgy are good places for an Aries. But you also belong in any job that may bring you recognition or attract attention to yourself. In a teamwork environment, you like to stand up and be counted; you certainly do not like to be ignored. Once a team member, you will never let your partners down.

Celebrity Aries: Chitrangada Singh

Seductive looks, superb acting skills and oodles of talent are how you define one of the most gorgeous actresses of Bollywood, Chitrangada Singh. This dusky Arian is one actress who packs a punch in both looks as well as her acting skills. Having bowled over one and all with a brilliant performance in Sudhir Mishra's Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, Chitrangada announced her arrival in Bollywood with an impressive debut.

She followed it up with another powerful performance in Kal: Yesterday and Tomorrow and soon had the entire tinsel town talking about her. But she soon disappeared from the scene for 3 years. She made her comeback in Onir's romantic comedy Sorry Bhai only to find her comeback film being marred by the Mumbai terror attacks the same week the film released. Chitrangada, however, was not someone to be deterred easily. She then featured in Sudhir Mishra's Yeh Saali Zindagi opposite acting powerhouse Irrfan Khan and reminded Bollywood of her astounding acting prowess. She also paired opposite Akshay Kumar in Desi Boyz.

The future of this dusky damsel in 2012, too, seems pretty promising with upcoming projects like Sudhir Mishra's Dhruv with Kareena Kapoor and Farhan Akhtar. With a director like Sudhir Mishra and co-stars like Kareena Kapoor and Farhan Akhtar, Chitrangada has only bright things to look forward to in 2012.

Born on March 28, 1976, she is an Aries with ruling number 1. This number is governed by the Sun and having born under it, she is highly original, active, energetic, motivated, artistic and brilliant. She is attracted towards the intellectual types. She is not likely to let her heart rule her head. She has an unyielding will power and carries out projects through to her logical conclusion. She is also fiercely self-reliant and self-sufficient.

In 2012, all her qualities come to the forefront post March. Her charisma will be at an all time high. She will make it to the top easily as she is innovative and enterprising. By constantly being active she can tire herself out and may have to deal with stress-related issues. April and May will be lucky months for her.

How do you like to holiday?

From bungee jumping to scuba diving; staying in a luxury hotel to camping; a love for high places and mountains, to being just happy near water - that's how different our ideas of ideal holidays could be. Some of us may resort to peaceful quiet holidays while for some, holidays are all about having fun and frolic. Every individual has a preferred style of holidaying. And this difference could just be the influence of zodiac signs that one belongs to. A Cancer's idea of a perfect holiday is totally opposite to that of a Capricorn. So, what's your ideal vacation like? Read on and you may just agree with what your zodiac signs have to say.

Aries: You love to explore new places that too at the speed of light. You often take the fastest means of transport to your destination. Adventurous holidays including water rafting, bungee jumping or horse riding is what drives you wild. Since the heat and energy level is high you naturally prefer cool places for holidays. The mountains are places you love to explore and visit, especially if there is a little cottage where you can shack up and rough it out!

Taurus: You are an earthy sign. The lush and rolling hills are ideal for holidaying but only in an out of this world resort where good living is high. Good comfortable living is your number one priority. Everything is pre-planned from ticket booking to hotel reservations. Basically you are homebodies so travelling to unknown places is not something you are always ready to do. A holiday in a familiar place or not too far away from your home ground is what you need.

Gemini: You love to travel with close friends and family in tow. Mercury the ruling planet wants constant interaction and mental stimulation. You get easily bored so you perfer to go on package tours. You would probably pack your cell phone, books, magazines and other essentials just in case you are caught in a situation that has you doing nothing! Television sets are a must in your room…you like to stay connected.

Cancer: You are always happy when you are near water. You love to swim, sail or boat on holidays. Water has an added attraction for you. You are not very adventurous where new places are concerned so you normally keep visiting the same destination over and over.

Leo: You love to holiday in style. You don't like roughing it out on holidays like trekking or cycling but instead want to be pampered with a good body massage or pedicure. You stretch your pockets to include a luxury cruise or a stay in a five star luxury hotel. You enjoy the thought of eating something exotic and people waiting on you hand and foot!

Virgo: You are basically worriers so before a holiday starts, you will be found with a list of things to do, places to see and if possible you would like to know if you can learn something useful like cooking, painting, etc. on holiday! At the back of your mind you feel guilty about wasting your time. So an environmental or educational holiday is just ideal for you.

Libra: For you a holiday must have style and elegance. You are made for glamour and luxury. Camping holidays are not your cup of tea; unless of course the tent is fully equipped with lots of trappings. The journey has to be short and comfortable. You don't much care for the idea of being on a train from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Physically you like to look good so stylish luggage with elegant clothes is a must.

Scorpio: You love to holiday in those exotic places that normally others don't go to. Visiting Pyramids in Egypt to the Great Wall of China would always appeal to you. You can withstand any climatic conditions. Package and guided tours are not your idea of holiday. You like to be different in the places you visit and your approach to holidaying.

Sagittarius: You dislike going for a peaceful, quiet holiday away from the hustle-bustle of the city. The idea is to have fun and frolic on holidays rather than lying with a book. You are born travelers so if possible you visit all the places given in a tourist book. You are open to having a trekking and camping holiday.

Capricorn: You love high places and blossom on mountains. Though you would love to go on a luxurious and comfortable holiday but you are equally frugal about spending money even on a holiday and keep your expenses in check. Even on holiday you keep yourself disciplined and active; no overindulgence for you. You enjoy historical places and the romance surrounding them.

Aquarius: You are not much of planners so generally the holidays you take are not pre-planned months ahead. In fact for you, planning takes away half the fun! You like to visit off beat places. Sitting cross-legged meditating and seeking inner peace is your idea of absolute heaven. Finding a partner for such a holiday may be a problem for you.

Pisces: You love water and would head straight for some beach resort. Perhaps scuba diving and water skiing on holiday is your dream holiday; though splashing around on the beach is your idea of fun too. You are generally very emotional and romantic so would love to holiday with your partner.

Understanding planets that rule you

All planets are on the move but which one is yours? People usually don’t understand the concept of time and planets but it’s something which influences the change. Like atmospheric and natural changes, it influences the change in human lives.

Planetary movements are directly related with human behaviour and their daily life. Your planet is moving while you are reading this article, and you are reading this under its influence. It all depends on the planet’s axis and collaboration with other planets.

Seven planets rule the seven days of a week:
Sun rules Sunday
Moon rules Monday
Mars rules Tuesday
Mercury rules Wednesday
Jupiter rules Thursday
Venus rules Friday
Saturn rules Saturday

SUN: Sun is also known as the ‘Planet of Self’ and this is the centre of existence. This Planet (also known as a luminary and a star) represents the self, one's personality and ego, the spirit and what it is that makes the individual unique. It represents the heart and blood and their ruling zodiac is the Leo.

MOON: Since the Moon is closest to Earth, it influences us more deeply than any other Planet. It plays with the sensitivity and psyche of the human being. The moon speaks to the women in one's life and their role as nurturer. This planet rules zodiac sign Cancer, a water sign.

VENUS: Venus rules Taurus, Libra’s feelings, aesthetics, sense of like, action and repulsion and also emotional connections. It also rules love relationships, artistic and luxury material possessions. It is also known as the “Master of the demons”.

MERCURY: Mercury works with language, mind and verbal thoughts. People born under the influence of ‘Mercury’ are very talkative and their chances of becoming writers, media people and great speakers are high.

JUPITER: Jupiter is the ruler of both the Pisces and Sagittarius. Basically, it looks after expansiveness and growth; extending your realm of experiences in new areas of life. It is exuberant, outgoing, extrovert and adventurous.

SATURN: The teaching planet is the ruler of Aquarius and Capricorn, both bone and bone marrow. It represents great karmic lessons, great teachings and the wisdom of expression. Its influence makes humans very serious, conservative and practical.

NEPTUNE: Neptune is the ruler of water on the Earth. It rules Pisces inspiration and represents dissolving, washing, cleansing and purifying. Its influence makes the man very dreamy and sensitive.

URANUS: Words like explosive, disruptive and radical. Its effect makes you do anything, go beyond all the limitations, intuitive, quick, unemotional, and unpredictable. Aquarius is its zodiac sign and once this planet exerts its influence one takes initiatives after initiatives.

PLUTO: Pluto is a small planet, belongs to Scorpio and the Hindu god ‘Shiva’. This planet is the coldest and well known for its destruction qualities. Pluto is not a weak planet when it gets in touch with other planets, it shows great lethalness. It brings about the dissolution and transformation of what the other planets represent.

MARS: Mars is really visible from the Earth like the Sun and Moon. It is the ruling planet of the first zodiac of the zodiac cycle ‘Aries’. Having its own space the Red planet also revolves around the Sun. God blessed it with the quality of determination and stubbornness; it never gives up. Strong Mars makes the person determined whereas afflicted Mars may show make the person quarrelsome.

Predictions for Scott Hamilton

Scott Hamilton, an American ice skater and a superlative Olympic figure skater, is known for his fancy footwork, the blurring speed of his spins and his trademark back flip. He was the winner of the U.S. Men's Championship in 1981 and 1982 and the World Championship in 1981 and 1982. Symbolizing eternal youth in skating with his charismatic energy and gnome-like and puckish features, he appears wispy and fragile at 5'3", 115 lbs. just seconds before blowing audiences away with his superlative skating; he is tremendously exciting in the arena.

Rule : The native gets health problems when he is running dashas ( Mahadasha or Antardasha ) of planet linked with 6th lord. This link could be PAC - Position , Aspect or Conjunction. Any inauspicious yoga ( Kendra or shadahtak ) formed with 6th lord is also bad for native's health.

As per the above health rule, the 6th lord is Saturn. Hence Saturn's MD ( Mahadasha period ) was expected to be bad for Scott. As readers are aware that mahadsha gives " broader period " while antardasha gives " smaller period " in main mahadasha. It is subdivision of mahadasha. Any particular AD will be good or bad - it depends on relation of MDL & ADL. The nature & position of planets in D1 chart plays an important role.

Vimsottari Dasa:

Sat MD: 1993-08-04 to 2012-04-26

Antardasas in this MD

Sat: 1993-08-04 to 1996-07-22 MDL & ADL are same Merc: 1996-07-22 to 1999-03-18 Kendra yoga + Navpancham yoga between MDL & ADL so health problem possible but native will survive due to Navpancham yoga

Since February 1997 Scott suffered from back and stomach pains. On March 16 he went to the doctor to find that he had testicular cancer that had spread to the abdomen. As he is a beloved big brother to other skaters, his colleagues rallied around him through the next three months of chemotherapy treatments.

On 6/24/1997, he had surgery to remove a cancerous growth on his abdomen in Cleveland, OH. His diagnosis remained positive, and he was expected to return to the ice in September. A fighter, he completely recovered but due to his five months of not skating, he says that his skill is "only 50% of what it was formerly." On 10/28/1997, he was back on the ice in front of 10,000 fans for a taped TV special.

Ket: 1999-03-18 to 2000-04-20 Shadashtak cum Samsaptak yoga between MDL & ADL.

Ven: 2000-04-20 to 2003-06-04 Navpancham yoga between MDL & ADL.

Sun: 2003-06-04 to - 2004-05-11 Kendra yoga between ADL & MDL. Planet Sun in Leo should give less inauspicious result. Some problem was expected.

Moon: 2004-05-11 to 2005-12-02 ADL is in 6th house. This will give native health problem.

On November 11, 2004, the skater was diagnosed with a one-inch non-cancerous brain tumor near his pituitary gland. On December 13, 2004 in Cleveland, OH, he underwent an intricate procedure that attacks the tumor with gamma radiation. The treatment at The Cleveland Clinic destroyed the tumor but the fluid-filled cyst that enclosed the growth is still there. Doctors are monitoring his condition hoping that the cyst will dissolve.

Mars: 2005-12-02 to - 2007-01-05 Shadashtak yoga but less harmful as Mars is in Aries. Planet in same rashi gives no damage.
Rah: 2007-01-05 to 2009-10-27 Rahu moves anticlockwise. So Ekrashyantar cum same rashi yoga between MDL & ADL. So no health problem was expected.
Jup: 2009-10-27 to 2012-04-26 ADL is in 12th position with respect to MDL Saturn. Vyaya yoga. Again the health problem was expected.

On June 23, 2010, Hamilton went into brain surgery to prevent the recurrence of the benign tumor discovered in 2004. Called craniopharyngioma, the tumour could have caused blindness if left untreated. On June 25, 2010 it was reported that Hamilton was resting comfortably in the hospital and was "Doing great".

Today in March 2012, Scott Hamilton must be a happy & healthy man as his bad dasha period is getting over next month. I wish him good health for future.

Love and sunsigns

So, what if Valentine's Day is over? The season of love continues as love never dies. Discover the romantic side in you with your zodiac sign. Go all romantic and sweep your partner of their feet. Make your partner fall in love with you all over again...

Aries:
When in love, you don a pair of rose-tinted glasses and the world is a magical place for you. The idea of romance captivates you and you ignore all else to be near your beloved. Candlelight dinners, soft music, slow dances, late night walks hand in hand by the light of the moon on remote windswept beaches - everything is possible, and it does not stop there, Aries will profess undying love for their beloved - a promise they are most likely to keep.

Taurus:
Taureans are family-oriented people and enjoy spending time with loved ones. Strong believers in fidelity and stable relationships, you can be romantic, attentive, tender, and affectionate. Rarely feeling the temptation to stray, you can be quite possessive and can indeed get jealous if your partner's attention wavers. The romance with your partner is something that will be of constant interest and is unlikely to die even when you settle down to the routines of married life.

Gemini:
Anyone romantically involved with you, even for a short while, is likely to find you affectionate, interesting, adventurous and a fun person to be with, but your fickle, almost uncaring attitude will manage to break many hearts before you finally settle down. You may be a notorious flirt, but it will be wonderful coming home to someone who has stood by you through all the highs and lows.

Cancer:
You are continually pulled into romance with those who are quite opposite to you in nature. You are strongly attracted to people who are confident, strong and successful. Although you fall in love all the time, your introvert nature and your uneasiness in disclosing your true feelings makes many of these affairs one-sided.

Leo:
You have a gregarious personality easily standing out in a crowd, always the centre of attention at social gatherings. You are often loud and brash and people often take offence to that. If your big ego doesn't get the better of you, you can be a warm and considerate person. You are a lover with style, wooing your beloved in the most elegant manner. You wine and dine them, shower expensive gifts and roll out the red carpet all the way.

Virgo:
Not the most passionate of signs, a Virgo's love life is rarely turbulent or stormy. You are not the kind who likes to cuddle and make a public display of affection but can be quite romantic in your own way. Your style of courtship includes sending a never ending stream of flowers and going to romantic dinners at quiet and elegant places.

Libra:
Emotional relationships are based on equal give and take. Librans tend to be involved in a number of affairs and sometimes their affection and friendship is misunderstood as something quite different. Librans like to have friends come over frequently for meals and parties; being good hosts, they ensure guests have a relaxed and comfortable time.

Scorpio:
You are among the best lovers, instinctively knowing what your partner wants. You are intense and passionate and none of your lovers will ever forget you. You will sweep many off with your magnetic charm. You will rarely distinguish between a passing fancy and true love. For you, it will always be a passionate involvement.

Sagittarius:
Although affectionate and loving, Sagittarians are not apt to be too demonstrative. Not much cuddling, showering of gifts, or saying it with roses - something that may be misconstrued as lack of warmth. However, you will make it exciting enough for your beloved. Bungee jumping, mountain climbing, horse riding, going to exotic destinations... all this you will do with your partner.

Capricorn:
You have an ardent and incurable romantic yearning for true love, which is put under check by Saturn -- the stern planet of discipline. It commands you to be calm, practical and serious. Nevertheless, love for a stable home and loyalty towards the spouse are your primary concerns. Man or woman, Capricorns love their home, but they are reverent about family ties -- be these their own or the ones created with the partner.

Aquarius:
Once in love, you will try to make everything perfect for your partner. You will accommodate compromise and adapt even if you find that person is not exactly the ideal match you imagined him or her to be. Your approach to love and marriage is logical and intellectual, loving with your mind, as well as your eyes.

Pisces:
In the world of romance, you crave fairytales, being more in love with the idea of love than being in love itself. You can be unnecessarily suspicious and jealous, and this might cause a lot of heartache. The most important ingredient you bring to a relationship is love. You are gentle, sensitive, and a romantic through and through, valuing fidelity in a marriage and will be kind and affectionate to your spouse.

What women want?

As the world celebrates International Women's Day on March 8, let's get to understand the women better. What they want, love and hate - their sun signs tell it all.

Aries: You are not one to be cowed down by failures, you play the game for the recognition it brings. You love to take on new challenges and even lead the way, offering new ideas and finding easy solutions to problems. Aries women enjoy male companionship. You want to take the lead in your love life as well.

Taurus: Taureans like to be rooted -- whether it is your environment, work, home or your opinions. Taurus women are not the outgoing type, and yet are very romantic and have a strong attraction towards the opposite sex but will often be very slow in reacting.

Gemini: If intellectual stimulation is what you are looking for, you will find it in the Gemini woman. The Gemini woman is known as a 'one girl harem' because of her capacity to present more than one exterior. You are versatile and have an amazing grasp of the subject you choose, although it may not interest you for long.

Cancer: You are very sensitive in your relationships and expect an equal amount of sensitivity be shown to you. You can be admirably kind, generous, understanding and gracious, if all is well with you. Like most water signs, you too have good intuitive powers and mostly put them to good use in managing your life.

Leo: You are fiery and passionate. You know how to handle men and can control a man quite easily! You have a strong aesthetic sense, not only with regard to your possessions, but also the environment around you. You are easily seduced by material wealth and luxury and believe in living life in style.

Virgo: You are not afraid of taking on challenges and prove your mettle with hard work and a quiet determination. Your quest for perfection and your inability to ignore even the smallest of faults generally proves good for you. You are not particularly demonstrative compared to other women, which often keeps a man guessing.

Libra: You will pay a lot of attention to your appearance, accessories and have a style all your own. This makes you very attractive to the opposite sex. Libran women are experts in the art of conversation and you like to talk a lot. Compassionate, generous and diplomatic, you will find people always ready to do you favours.

Scorpio: You are very attractive and easily draw the attention of men. You have a desire for a slow storybook romance and are constantly drawn towards it. You can be ultra-feminine when you want to. Your hypnotic stare and your vital force overwhelm those around you. You have a keen intellect and admirable qualities of patience and creativity.

Sagittarius: You have a great desire to be in romantic surroundings, but often you do not let your partner understand this. Bold, dashing and spirited - it's a bit difficult to keep pace with you - whether it is in your movements or in your speech. You could not care less and hate being in an atmosphere that is physically or emotionally claustrophobic.

Capricorn: You believe in true love and devotion, if you can manage to find it. Your naturalness and desire to rise above the ordinary makes you look a bit aloof, but you can be a lot more passionate than most women. You are diligent, hardworking and cautious; have an admirable sense of discipline and a good head for managing finances.

Aquarius: Aquarian women want both intelligence and style in their man. You seem to live on a different plane altogether - sympathetic, sensitive, friendly, but distant. You tend to be philosophical and have strong intuitive powers. You are an admirer of beauty and everything about you seems soft and gentle.

Pisces: You will be very loyal and once you form a relationship it will continue for a long time but your fickleness and need for constant romance may make you lose interest in your lover. Although you might be impractical and somewhat uneasy with the real world, you are brave and prefer a lot of independence.

How colourful will this Holi be?

The festival of colours, Holi is here once more, adding happiness and colours to our life. How are you going to celebrate this boisterous occasion? Your sun sign reveals it all...

Aries: This Holi, you lead the way for fun by offering new ideas to make this occasion more lively and colourful. You prove to be a pleasant company and will enjoy the festival with heart and soul. You certainly won't be ignored.

Taurus: Your stubbornness, combined with laziness may initially dishearten your loved ones who want you to be part of the Holi celebration. Like the bull that represents your zodiac sign, you will be slow to start but once you get into the act, there is no stopping you then.

Gemini: You add zest and happiness to the Holi celebrations. You are the life and soul of gatherings on this occasion, amazing all and sundry with your funny and full of life nature. With an active and creative mind, you can set the right mood for everyone to enjoy this occasion to their fullest.

Cancer- Your mood swings are unpredictable and may just ruin your mood of celebrating this Holi. You hate splashing of water and playing with colours. However, your kind and affable personality might just work in and you will keep the festive spirit alive for everyone.

Leo: Needing to assume authority, wherever you are, you are the focus point at any Holi celebration. People will love playing Holi with you as you are frank and outspoken. You will play Holi with considerable enthusiasm and excitement and will plunge into it whole-heartedly.

Virgo: Often quiet and reserved, you tend to keep your clothes tidy and perfect but for an occasion like Holi, you may just be ready to get dirty. You will be quite content not to be in charge, but will be there to make sure everything runs smoothly. You believe in fair play of Holi.

Libra: Being a very pleasant zodiac sign, you are quite easily accessible and will readily take part in the celebrations. Your easygoing nature, natural charm, sense of humour and tact will win new friends and keep everyone happy.

Scorpio: Highly energetic - that's how you will be on the colourful festival Holi. You are definitely not the gregarious, social kind, always ready to please people but you are committed to your friends and family and for their sake you will take active part in the Holi celebrations.

Sagittarius: Bold, dashing and spirited, Sagittarians are too full of energy to sit still on Holi. You like to be free as the wind that blows, quite uncaring of the effect you may have on your surroundings on this occasion. Driven by excitement, you will be quite popular on this day.

Capricorn: You have an admirable sense of discipline and this will apply even on such a fun and frolic day as Holi. Although not exactly the centre of attraction at the Holi celebration or party, your sense of humour and zeal will make you attractive.

Aquarius: It is very difficult for you to become very involved with the celebrations of Holi. However, your friends and loved ones may just force you to play Holi, which you won't regret as this particular day will be simply great for you.

Pisces: Being well liked for your kind and sympathetic nature, your charm of manner and carefree nature will impress many, this colourful Holi. You enjoy this day completely. Your compassionate nature and physical attraction make you the favourite of all.

Neptune rules your luck

February will be an exciting month as several major astrological transits are lined up for every zodiac sign. Almost every one of this month's planetary motions and alignments will range from good to great!

Starting on an exciting note, those of you who have been planning to start a new project should go ahead now as this is quite an auspicious period for this. The presence of Mars makes you look at things in a positive light. With Mars involved, this won't be the most sensitive of encounters, but you'll still be full of passion and enthusiasm!

Then, as if too excited to hold in its big news any longer, February gives us its most exciting astrological event- and one of the major transits of the year. On February 3, Neptune moved into watery Pisces (the sign it rules), where it will remain until 2025. This special transit which occurs every 160 years ushers in an era of creativity, compassion, charity, exploration and, oddly enough, an emphasis on mathematics. On a more personal level, Neptune's historic move into Pisces will foster kindness and all forms of artistic and creative adventurousness!

Unfortunately, this excitement is followed by Saturn turning retrograde on February 7, one of the few challenging transits of the month. Financially, you still need to be careful about your expenses. There are indications of your spending a lot of money on expensive but unnecessary stuff. Agreements will be delayed, and you'll find yourself acting in an overly rigid fashion about your principles as you veer a little too closely to negativity and self-doubt. However, if you can avoid undermining yourself while still putting forth your best effort and keeping your faith, things will all work out.

By February 8, you will be in an upbeat mood as Venus skips merrily into Aries. Married couples should develop more trust and understanding and should try not to let differences crop up. This aspect will add sparks to your love life and give you the courage to declare your love - just in time for Valentine's Day!

All these cosmic activities finally slow down and give you a chance to rest until February 18, when the Sun moves in to steal the show for the rest of the month. This is the time when Sun meets Saturn, bestowing sensible and practical solutions to issues both personal and universal.

On the very next day, February 19, the Sun moves out of Aquarius and into Pisces, setting up shop right next to Neptune. Under the Sun's influence, Neptune will become vague, elusive and evasive, making it difficult for you to focus on practical matters. Plans that you have been planning for a long time finally see the light of day and you are thrilled to be in action mode. A vacation relaxes you but is not easy on your pocket. Watch out for some dramatic moments.

On February 25, the Sun is in control and puts things in order. The Sun and Jupiter join together for an upbeat, confident excursion. Towards the end of the month, on Feb 28th, the Sun joins hands with Pluto to bring you out of your fantasies and makes you more practical than ever.

Hot hook-ups: Prateik Babbar-Amy Jackson

With Valentine's Day round the corner, Prateik Babbar and British model-turned-actress Amy Jackson's bonding is growing strong like never before. The duo met on the sets of Gautham Menon's 'Ekk Deewana Tha' and since then they are getting along like a house on fire. If rumours are to be believed, they are seeing each other and are very much in love. They were spotted together at several occasions. And the latest buzz is Prateik has moved in with Amy and is living with her in her Bandra home.

Is their love story like any other link-up story that surfaced up during the time of film shooting to grab more eyeballs? Well, only time will answer this question. But are they really meant for each other or is it just a mutual attraction? Will their love last for long? Read on to find out.

Born November 28, 1986, Prateik belongs to the sunsign Sagittarius and Amy (January 31, 1991) is an Aquarius. This combination usually has a great chance for success, as the temperaments of both star signs are very similar. This is a combination on a purely social level that will revel in large groups of friends and public-spirited associates. Sagittarius readily understands the moods and peculiarities of his Aquarius mate and makes necessary allowances for the same. He, in turn, expects the same consideration from Aquarius but this may not be forthcoming too often, causing an occasional rift between the two. As both share a common love for change, travel and excitement, this relationship should work well over the long term. There is a good chance for this relationship to be successful as both partners are quite alike and hold similar values. In addition, both understand the need to let the other be whenever he/she requires some freedom.

Before you walk down the aisle with your love, ask yourself the most important question. Are you really meant for each other? Is this person right for me? Prem Kumar's Love Compatibility report helps you find out if your relationship with your mate is going to be a long lasting one.

Cell-estial

Soon your 10 digit cell # may change to 11! But will the additional Number {9} change anything for you? Maybe to a rationalist, it may not as 9 when added to any Number produces the same. For e.g., 9821362834=46, or 1 & 46 + 9 = 55, which is 1 too! But do 46 & 55 carry the same frequency or potency?

So what does your cell # add up to? Since mobile phones have become an integral part of our fast-paced lives, what with constant tiffs with bosses and spouses over the phone, to even spreading cheerful news of an engagement, marriage or a new born, is your cell carrying the auspicious numbers, which can help enhance your {talk} time, personally as well as professionally?

Let's ask the experts!

Says leading Numerologist Sanjay B Jumaani: 'Each Number from 1 to 9 is assigned to the 9 planets governing our Zodiac {Navgrahas}. While every Number {or planet} has its own beauty {God couldn't make mistakes!}, there are certain Numbers which are more worldly or opportune. And they are 1 {Sun, leadership}, 3 {Jupiter, wealth}, 5 {Mercury, speed, knowledge} & 6 {Venus, love, harmony, progress}.

"There are however different octaves to each No; while 42 may be very fortunate, 51 means assassination! Mohandas K Gandhi & Benazir Bhutto always had their names spelling a tragic elimination!

To know what your cell Number means, add up all the 10 {or 11} digits to bring it on a two digit compound Number.

Certain Numbers have significant meanings, which can influence your lives in ways which can be from good to bad or even ugly!

Number 19, 37, 46, 64 or 73: 1, Sun, can help in improving relationships with the opposite sex, can be fortunate in gaining recognition {like millions of people worship the Sun}, finance & authority.

Best Suited for :

Those born on dates such as the 1st, 10th, 19th, 28th, 2nd, 11th, 20th, 29th, 4th, 13th, 22nd, 31st and 7th, 16th and 25th in any month.

Also recommended for all Leos.

Number 28 or 55: Though # 1, it is like a wheel of fortune or a Russian Roulette; the ball may fall on odd or even, white or black. Inconsistent!

Number 29, 38, 47, 56 or 65: 2, Moon can make you spiritual, dreamy, romantic but lazy; can cause you to depend on others to push you to make the most of your abilities.

It can also cause mood swings or depression.

Number 30, 39, 48, 57 or 66: 3, Jupiter can make you mentally superior over others, so dominating. Compounded, it gives us 12, which may make one sacrifice for others {remember 12 Apostles besides Lord Jesus}.

Number 31, 40, 49, 58 or 67: 4, Uranus lends unconventional, original ideas, but those who differ may consider you eccentric. Hence, it can cause misrepresentation of your true self which can be a handicap!

Number 23, 32, 41, 50 or 59: 5 or Mercury lends communication skills, which is so important for a cell phone!

The flip side is that it can make you flirty & mischievous as Mercury makes you bored of routine!

Best Suited for :

Those born on dates such as the 5th, 14thor 23rd in any month

Also recommended for all Geminis and Virgos

Number 24, 33, 42 or 60: Venus, # 6 denotes peace, luxury and progress; very potent, though it can also make you a little extravagant & over-indulgent with the good things of life!

But then don't we deserve this much?

Best Suited for :

Those born on dates such as the 3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th, 6th, 15th, 24th, 9th, 18th and 27th in any month

Also recommended for all Taureans and Librans

Number 51: Sudden advancement can make you a leader, but there is always a threat of assassination; {Benazir Bhutto, Mohandas K Gandhi} watch out if in politics or armed forces.

Number 25, 34, 43, 52, 61 0r 70: 7, Neptune can cause mood swings due to restlessness, though creativity & unconventionality are the plus points. Spiritually it can give you a high, but mind it, we are not living on mountain-tops!

Number 26, 35, 44, 53, 62 or 71: 8, Saturn has the ability to give, but after strife, labour and struggle; not a worldly mix.

Proportionate to what you deserve, it can take you on top or bring you down!

Number 27, 36, 45, 54, and 63 or 72: 9, Mars is fiery, denoting energy, can make one impulsive, rash & stubborn. Good for construction, engineering, sports field and armed forces though.

Best Suited for :

Those born on dates such as the 3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th, 6th, 15th, 24th, 9th, 18th and 27th in any month

GOD BLESS

Preity's an Aquarian

Preity Zinta who made her acting debut in Dil Se in 1998 belongs to the zodiac sign Aquarius. Born on January 31, 1975, Preity has been versatile from the very beginning. She is known for publicly expressing her opinions and standing her ground. She was the only witness not to retract her statements in court against the Indian Mafia in the 2003 Bharat Shah case. She has appeared in many successful Bollywood flicks including, Kya Kehna, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Kal Ho Na Ho, etc.

Being an Aquarian Preity is sympathetic, honest and brave. She values her personal space and doesn't let anyone get too close to her emotionally. She takes her time before showing her true self, the strong woman that lies behind her chirpy facade. Her patience and perseverance have helped her overcome the difficulties she has faced early in life. She comes out feeling stronger through hurdles and difficult times.

In terms of love, Preity has not been lucky so far. Preity and ex-boyfriend Ness Wadia parted ways in 2009. Recent reports suggest a patch up between the duo but, they are just trying to renew their friendship and are nowhere close to being in a relationship again. Astrologically, she would be happy with someone she can look up to and respect. The one thing that can really be a turn off for her is a man with a roaming eye. She will not think twice about dumping a man who's not sincere towards the relationship.

The year 2012 will be an emotionally satisfying year for Preity. She will approach projects and her goals with renewed vigour and will not let anything or anyone deter her from the path she chooses. The stars favour her and will ensure that she meets with success. It's her determination that proves as an ally in the months ahead.

Being number 1

In this highly competitive world, we all want to beat others and be at the number one position. Be it in exams, sports, business, career, we always look forward to beating other competitors and excelling as the winner. Holding this top position is a different feeling; it makes one feel on top of the world. For some, it is the final destination beyond which there is nothing more to achieve.

How much do you know about Number 1 numerologically? What does this number signify? Read on to find out.

Ruling number 1(It is the sum of your date of birth, i.e. just the date)

You are attracted towards the intellectual types. You are lucky as far as your finances are concerned. But you need to be careful about being too generous or extravagant.

You are a romantic idealist though a bit immature. However, you are farsighted and have the ability to influence others. You have the ability to transform microscopic bits into a macroscopic whole.

Your leadership capabilities are highly developed which equips you to hold executive and administrative positions. You are courageous and brave and never hesitate to tackle the most difficult of problems. You have a highly original and innovative mind which does not lend itself well to simply taking orders. Some of you are highly creative and may possess artistic talents.

Destiny Number 1 (It is the sum of your month, day, and year of birth)

This number shows that you have inbuilt leadership qualities. You are innovative, determined and bold with self confidence and self control. You are a natural leader, full of drive and determination. You are however unnerved by responsibility. You are at your productive best when left alone. You participate in sporting activities, often to regain your inner balance.

You thrive on change and like exploring new ideas, meeting new people, discovering exotic places. You are witty and resourceful. You like the company of like-minded people. You are very motivating and amiable. Opportunities come your way constantly but you don't optimise on these. Don't expect your charm to steer you out of every tight spot.
