Saturn's movement in Leo

Thanks to my Astrospeak days, I get to know deeper things about Astrology than most of my peers. The TV (which I dont see) has supposedly been blaring about Saturn's movement to Leo sign incessantly and since time immemorial.

My belief in astrology is limited. To the extent, that I feel its largely indicative and not definitive. Astrology itself says so. However to be frank, I am also not a member of the so-called Ratioanlist association of India.

Saturn is however one planet, I would rather believe in. Its movement to Leo has seen India see partition and riots in 1947 and emergency in 1977. This is 2007. Eerie 30 years period!

For the lesser mortals like us , doing some things will help us overcome any malefic effects of an otherwise great planet! They are :

1. Live a simple life
2. NO EGO
3. Work hard
4. Help others
5. Leave "Daaru"
6. Take care of parents

People with Leo moonsign need to be careful. It will be good to check what your moonsign is if you do not know it already.

Prayers always help. If you feel that last 1 year or so has been rather tumultous or very expensive for you, you may really be needing the little somethings that prayers add in our lives.

Hiring Criteria

Read an awesome post on the Criteria of Hire by Marc Andreesson.

The main criteria according to him are :

• Drive
• Curiosity
• Ethics

I would largely agree to this.

For those who are in a position to hire or aspire to be in a position to hire, reading this blog will be of immense help.

Truck or the Destiny?

I read with disbelief the passing away of Former Delhi CM Sahib Singh Verma. I had once met him for some help which he promptly did. SoI carried(and still carry) a favourable impression of him.

When a Truck comes from the other side and hits your vehicle, you cant do much about it. To me, it seems that Truck is just a via media of your destiny.Destiny wants you to meet Yama, the lord of Death.

Weird it may seem, but this is the third accident I have seen of this type.The first one was of my best friend's brother Sanjay Gulati. He died instantly when a truck came from opposite side to hit his car in Sarita Vihar. He had instructed his wife to keep the food ready as he was just 10 minutes away from home! Then I heard about Manav's brother in law. A young promising life cut short. Now the Delhi CM.

All one can do is to pray to Lord to save him from such situations if they ever happen. For believers, I can tell a small Mantra. Say "Narayan - Narayan"before you step out of the door for any outside journey. I have seen this protect me in some of the weirdest accidents I have got into my life. Those instances I will later share.. in this space only.
