Sun in third house

If Sun is placed in third house a sibling may die prematurely and stress on account of mother may affect relationship with her. Misunderstandings can occur with siblings or neighbors due to his/her belief that he/she is always or mostly right. Sun in third house leads early death for elder brother and even for self it can prove as fatal. Elder brother's can be relied upon in adversity elder brother’s separation can be savior for him. The Sun in Masculine signs in third house indicates that the native is only child in the family. If somehow, there are brothers, they are of bade fame. Sun in the third house either reduces the number of elder brothers or deprives one of one's friends. He / she will be fiercely independent, clever with sharp intelligence, talkative, scheming-fully comfort-loving, lazy and making of bad thoughts. Sun in the third house result in pain from one's own brothers. Sun in the third house mean one should not stay with one's brother because this will result in obstacles in each other's growing fortunes. It denotes great pride and arrogance, and a domineering and over-ambitious mind, causing trouble and sorrow to elder brothers. He / she will gains to self on death of siblings. The person will be arrogant and behaves rude behavior with his/her elder brother.

RELATIONSHIP WITH SIBLING

The misunderstandings can occur with Chhotton ( Kausik Basu ) due to his belief that he is always or mostly right. His dominance and indulgence over his elder brother creates a major problem with his elder brother. He is trying to rule upon drastically his decision to me. He looks like fearless and dare-devil with sharp intelligence. He shows very authorative towards me. His attitude towards me is arrogant, domineering and rude while some debate is going on. That causes immense trouble and sorrow to me often. He is totally mis-utilizes my goodness and try to rule me for his favour in all occasions. He has indulged much adultry infront of me and I felt totally dis-respected by him as an elder brother.

After his marriage, he has done some wrong with me, which am given below:

Not make a good behavior with my wife Somani, who has spent eight years with him.

Not come to my home though my three time visit to his home.

Money given to his friend Bipul, which is given by my parents to me as a Durga Puja Greetings and force me to collect the money from his friend’s house.

Make my parents away without entering my home and force them to get out from my home.

Done my parents fifty years of marriage celebration ( November 7, 2010 ) in my native place Kolkata without informing me and uses his shrewdness to impress other relatives to do so. It was his stupidiest idea to establish that he is only child in the family.

Recipe for a novel

The Idea
Obviously, the idea is to make the dish delectable. Especially it is meant for commercial consumption. Since this recipe is about concocting a novel, the ingredients are characters and plot(s). Narrative style does not feature here as it is more of an aftertaste: good, passable or bad.
Ingredients
· Midlife angst / desperation : In good volume.
· Corporate lifestyles from a woman’s point of view: stronger the better ( since the main clientele are bored housewives )
· Whirlwind nature : Adding cyclones into the already rich blend gives headlines.
· Teenage Trauma : Yummy and Zappy ( as this an upcoming market )
· Solution, absolution, redemption:
In good measure, to cater to urban disillusionment.

· Spice and salt : As much as you can get from Indian cities and villages.

Film Land

India is the true filmland with its niche quality of mind-boggling and memorable film, as India is not lagging behind the Hollywood film but throwing the daunting challenge to them. India is the largest producer of films, amazingly the number is more than 8,000 in a calender year now. Also, the country have the modern infrastructure and rich cultural heritage. Indian box office is mending the astronomical amount of money in the world. Only the Hollywood can compare with it's stature, when an actor can get a lot of fame and an abduncance of money instantly. It is just like a dream to became a bollywood star. India makes the maximum number of films in the world. Also, it has the largest movie-going audience than others. The Indian media and entertainment industry tells a compelling story with great investment and growth potential. There are two hundred channels and regional networks airing in television regularly. As per film-censor board, there are 900 films has released in the year 2005. The figure comes more than two films per day. The mind-boggling 25, 000 crore film industry is expected to double their investments in the coming five years. The popularty of IMAX theatres or multiplexes in all over India is definitely a good sign for the film fraternity. In fact, it has created the class system among the cine-goers. Multiplexes have provided a link between experimental film-makers and audiences who want to watch different films in a different ambience. They are expected to became crowd-pullar that automatically generate revenue in film business. There is an acute trend of NRI films and also HINGLISH films are so popular in India and abroad. The Hollywood film industry finally ready to consider India as ever-growing, potential film land, who delivers not only quality output but also produce block-buster film. There are many autuer film-maker who uplifting always India's image withcrossover films. In India, there are hi-tech studios, cutting edge post production facilities, apt sound recording, SFX ( Special Effect ) techniques which are reasonably comparable with Hollywood studios. India have an own state of the art procedure to create the melodramatic and emotional film of love and family bond with an abundance of dialogues, melodious songs unlike Hollywood's little-dialogue and song-less films. The debutant directors are making constantly the non-formulac and uncompromising films with an elan and brilliance. A lot of avant-grade movies have already made in extremely moderate budget. There are boom for corporate sector like Tata, Pantaloon, Reliance, Singhania,Birla's foray into the film producing business. There projects are not in a preliminary stages but in floors. There is a 15:1 ratio in film business. As per industry trend, one hit can recoup the flop of fifteen.Now the scenario has changed a lot. Ambitious film buffs are making their foray into the film line. Film career is now recognised profession only you have some true obsession. As because the films pitch for funds in the fierce competition in Indian film market. Also, we have a growing piracy problem. But Government are trying to mitigate the problem in a strict hand. Low budget films are reasonably doing well. The main principle is to take a stake in film career and find the right path to get the foot-hold in the film industry. Ofcourse, this is not the cake walk to dostick on film career. But, nothing to worry as because, India is a film land with only eleven screens per million population as against one hundred seventeen in the USA. So, there is a need for more films and also screening theatre to fulfil the need of film-viewers. As being an ardent film personality, your dedicated endeavour can't go wrong. The Bollywood Mumbai is awaiting for your great start.

Astrological Knowledge

Saturn conjunct Mars - astrological aspect
Mars conjunct Saturn shows that you are fortunate in being able to use your energy constructively. The normal desire to assert yourself on impulse is balanced by realization of the consequences of such an action. This quality of restraint can mean great accomplishments for you because you don't waste energy on unproductive efforts. Your sense of economy and efficiency are characteristics of success; you know how to use your talents purposefully for specific objectives. You are realistic in applying good judgement before taking any action. Your early training enabled you to take on major responsibilities without difficulty. Knowing your limitations, you rarely go beyond them. You are prudent and yet fearless, cautious and yet aggressive, hard-working and yet able to accomplish a great deal with economy of effort. Although you are a complex person, you use the most simplistic approach in solving problems. You represent the ideal in terms of a balance between aggression and self-control. You are never indifferent to the feelings of others, but can become angry when others try to interfere with you. Frustration brings out the most dangerous kind of energy in you. You are not accustomed to having your plans challenged, and can launch vicious attacks against your adversaries, even resorting to physical violence. Other factors in your chart may indicate whether you would go do this extreme, but the potential for it exists in this planetary combination. Many professional pursuits are possible with this combination. Especially suitable are occupations requiring physical endurance and stamina, such as archaeology, exploration, geographic surveys, and forestry service. In the industrial field, research and development seem appropriate. Military service would be another means of expression for your controlled energy. In your romantic pursuits, you easily play the roles of both prey and predator. You carefully evaluate the partner's line of least resistance in order to decide which techniques you will use. The remark 'pursued until you caught the pursuer' is descriptive of your method. It is very important not to become chilled when indulging in physical activities. Cool off gradually and avoid cold liquids to prevent cramps. Use as little salt as possible when not doing strenuous physical work. This is a very precarious condition. Usually it is not harmonious. You have to undergoes hardship and danger. A man or woman of strong determination. No deviation from selected path. Suffers financial loses through brothers. Conquers enemies, is argumentative, without any peace of mind. Thievish and war-like nature. If conjunction is in 3 rd, 6 th and 6 th house. You will be like a king, loved by all and be famous.The Saturn-Mars conjunction is termed as accident prone. When favourable in 1 st, gain through in-laws, and from journeys. In 2 nd , wealth after marriage. In 4 th, gain of wealth. In 5 th, wealth after birth of son. In 7 th, gain through opposite sex, comforts from wife and children. In 8 th troubles, In 9 th gain, power etc. after performing religious ceremony of his elders. In 12 th house good results are indicated.

Masculine & Feminine Planets
Pluto, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Sun are masculine. Neptune, Venus and Moon are feminine. Mercury is convertible; masculine when with masculine planets and feminine when with feminine. When unaspected its gender is determined by its sign, or whether rising before (masc.) or after (fem.) the Sun. These terms in astrology do not simply relate to the gender of sexuality, for masculine and feminine also express these other polarities:
• active/passive
• positive/negative
• dry/moist
• hot/cold
• light/dark

The idea of masculinity is traditionally related to dryness and femininity to moisture. According to Ptolemy, Mercury is common rather than convertible, as he produces "the dry and the moist alike". The outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) have no traditional gender, so modern astrologers have assigned it. Gender has also been assigned to the major asteroids, Ceres, Vesta, Juno & Pallas Athene (all feminine) mainly on mythological grounds, but also in a questionable effort to right the so-called gender imbalance of traditional astrology. Chiron however is considered masculine.

Masculine & Feminine Quarters
Masculine Quarters extend anticlockwise from the cusp of the 10th house to the cusp of the Ascendant and clockwise from the cusp of the 4th to that of the 7th. Feminine Quarters are counted clockwise from the cusp of the Ascendant to that of the 4th and anti-clockwise from the cusp of the 7th to that of the 10th.

Masculine & Feminine Signs
Masculine Signs
• Aries
• Leo
• Sagittarius
• Gemini
• Libra
• Aquarius

Feminine Signs
• Taurus
• Virgo
• Capricorn
• Cancer
• Scorpio
• Pisces
The ancients considered that masculinity and femininity also alternated according to the sign's position vis a vis the ascendant, which is considered masculine.

MANGALIK DOSH
Mars holds a very important planet in our horoscopes. It is the planet of action and our capacity to project emotion - its nature is that of a brave warrior, one who is also ruthless. A correct balance of Martian energy is the most desirable in all lives - but unfortunately, only a lucky few possess this dynamic balance. Mars is the planet of emotional excitability, which can become violence. Generally speaking, Venus is the planet of emotion sensitivity, which can become refinement while Mars represents the malefic side of our emotions.On the positive side, a strong Mars is necessary to give us the energy, independence, will and self-confidence to carry out our endeavors. Without this we would have no real interest, passion or motivation to carry out anything to an end and accomplish its objective. On the negative side, the same aggression brings about competition, argument and conflict - which, if unchecked can lead to domination, violence and injury. Mars indicates premature death; as with loss of partner, particularly so when Mars is afflicted by "Kuja Dosha". This affliction of Mars in a chart commonly makes the horoscope to be known as a Manglik horoscope. When the planet Mars is occupies the house of ascendant, 1st, 2nd , 4th , 7th , 8th and 12th in anybody’s birth chart or horoscope. Then the Mars considered malicious and the person called Mangalik. But, only the direct aspects or combination of Jupiter can totally emulate the terrible effect of Mars. The bad effect is the untimely death, separation or divorce of the life partner of the Mangalik person. That is why, the mangalik boy can marry only the mangalik girl. This precaution must be taken in advance or before marriage to cope out from the terrible trauma. There are of course conditions when this affliction of "Kuja Dosha" is reduced to some extent. These are:

• Mars in 1st House is in Aries
• Mars in 4th House is in Scorpio
• Mars in the 7th House is in Capricorn or Pisces
• Mars in the 8th House is in Cancer
• Mars in the 12th House is in Sagittarius

The very obvious and only means to cancellation of "Kuja Dosha" or malefic effect of a Manglik horoscope is that the person with such a horoscope marries another with a similar affliction. Recourse to divinity, especially to Lord Hanumaan is said to be effective armour against malefic effect of "Kuja Dosha". So called mangalik is a serious problem in the Hindus for the marriage. As per general rule of manglik, every 5 person out of 12 are always manglik. It means approximate 42 % population is always manglik. This is a serious problem to search a match for manglik girl / boy. But this is not truth. There are further more rules and condition for the Manglik Dosh, after that few person remain manglik, and again there are some rules applied on individual horoscope, then most of manglik declared person become non-manglik, while you search a manglik match for you / your non-manglik daughter / son.What will mangalik dosh effect in your married life? What are the possible ramifications?Mars (Mangal) placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th house from ascendant (Lagna), Moon and Venus results in the Mangalik Dosha. The Importance of Mars in Mangalik DoshaMars is a cruel planet astrologically. Mars is a natural significator of Courage, Aggression, Violence, Property, Coborns to name a few. In terms of Marriage it acquires supreme importance as here it signifies Passion, the Husband, the Marital Knot, sex, etc. Moreover, the role of Mars in the generation of progeny cannot be underestimated. Mangalik Dosha in Relation to PlanetsMangalik Dosha is considered from the Ascendant as it signifies everything about self.Mangalik Dosha is considered from the Moon as it signifies heart, emotions. Mangalik Dosha is considered from Venus as it signifies marriage, spouse, and bed pleasures. Mangalik Dosha in Relation to Houses1st House signifies Self in general and placement/aspect of Mars on this house can lead to problems in certain cases. 2nd House signifies Finance, Family among other things and placement/ aspect of Mars on this house can lead to problems related to these significations in certain cases. 4th House signifies Domestic happiness, family and material comforts among other things and placement/aspect of Mars on this house can lead to problems related to these significations in certain cases. 7th House signifies spouse, marriage, married life among other things and placement/ aspect of Mars on this house can lead to problems related to these significations in certain cases. 8th House signifies Longevity, Mangalya (marital bond) in females among other things and placement/aspect of Mars on this house can lead to problems related to these significations in certain cases. 12th House signifies Bed comforts, sexual enjoyment among other things and placement/aspect of Mars on this house can lead to problems related to these significations in certain cases.The Effects of Placement of Mars in Specific Houses:Placement in 1st house: Being placed in the 1st house it will aspect 4th house, 7th house and 8th house hence can be a source of concern in some horoscopes.Placement in 2nd house: Being placed in the 2nd house it will aspect 5th house (Children, emotions, intellect), 8th house and 9th(Fortune, Prosperity and Progeny in females) house hence can be a source of concern in some horoscopes.

This affliction is stronger from the Moon and strongest from Venus.Mars placement in 1st, 2nd, 4th and 12th house indicates mild Dosha. Mars placement in 7th or 8th house results in greater Dosha. Neutralizing of Mangalik DoshaThe effects of the Mangalik Dosha are neutralized in various ways. But here we can mention a few Vedic Astrology Principles. If Mangalik Dosha is found in both the male and the female horoscope the effects of the dosha are neutralized.If Jupiter aspects or conjoins Mars, the effects of the dosha are neutralized.If Mars and Rahu are placed together in the horoscope, the effects of the dosha are neutralized.If Mars is placed in his own house or in exaltation, the effects of the dosha are neutralized.If Mars is placed in 7th house and ascendant lord happens to be Saturn the effects of the dosha are neutralized.If Mars is placed in 8th house and ascendant lord happens to be Venus the effects of the dosha are neutralized.If Mars is placed in 8th house with Jupiter as 8th lord the effects of the dosha are neutralized.If Mars is placed in 12th house with Venus as 12th lord the effects of the dosha are neutralized.So called mangalik is a serious problem in the Hindus for the marriage. As per general rule of manglik, every 5 person out of 12 are always manglik. It means approximate 42 % population is always manglik. This is a serious problem to search a match for manglik girl / boy. But this is not truth. There are further more rules and condition for the Manglik Dosh, after that few person remain manglik, and again there are some rules applied on individual horoscope, then most of manglik declared person become non-manglik, while you search a manglik match for you / your non-manglik daughter / son.

DIS-SATISFACTION IN MARRIAGE
1. A retrograde Mercury ( apparent backward motion ) as it implies stalled and inhibited communications.
2. A retrograde Venus or Mars in women as it denotes the inability of sexual desire.

EXTRA MARITAL AFFAIR
1. Venus with Mars.
2. Venus with Uranus.
3. A week Jupiter.
4. Venus-Rahu in 5th house or Venus-Mars in 5th house.
5. Venus-Rahu in 7th house or Venus-Mars in 7th house.
6. Venus-Rahu in 8th house or Venus-Mars in 8th house.
7. Venus-Rahu in 12th house or Venus-Mars in 12th house especially in Scorpio or Aries.
These above mentioned conditions will be totally nullified if planets are combined with strong Jupiter or directly aspects by the strong Jupiter. So, the planet Jupiter can be savior for the all human beings.Malefics Planets generating difficult circumstances: traditionally Mars and Saturn; nowadays Uranus. The Sun is classed as a malefic in Indian (Vedic) astrology and also in Western Astrology when in conjunction (due to phenomenon of combustion — except when cazimi, i.e. in the heart of the Sun). The Dragon's Tail (Moon's south node) is malefic, though a "shadow planet" rather than a real rock. In Indian astrology both the Dragon's Head (Rahu) and Tail (Ketu) are considered serious malefics. The jury is still out on Pluto, but he is most likely malefic. Ceres it seems to me is generally malefic, especially in terms of natural disasters.
