Preamble:
Some time we can find that people born on same month got exceptional similarities in their personalities, traits etc which can not simply be termed as coincidences. Sometime matching of pair from particular months turns into stronger bonds than others. Is their any co-relations really exists??? One may wonder. If yes, how it may help us??? My effort in this series of Articles is to provide a fair idea of a person born in different months. This is different from the usual Zodiac Signs since it would try to depict a person by months while Zodiac Sign dates span from mid date of one month to another.
How it may help us? Well it may help to chose your companion, be it in life or business. It may explain why you feel attracted to some one with out any tangible reason so far. It may allow you to understand yourself little better..
I will begin with the month January and update with each month till December. But before that, I would like to share some information which may help the reader to understand the astrological logic behind these articles. Importance of Sun in determining the characteristics of a person was not given due importance in Vedic Astrology as it ought to be. We put more emphasise on Lagna (Ascendant) and Rashi( the moon sign) in this connection. But fact is that Sun plays a very major role in understanding the characteristics of any native. Concept of Sun sign in western astrology, on the other hand, more inclined to Sun so much so that it almost overrated it over other aspects. Fortunatly some exceptional pioneers in astrology tried to strike a balance. Surya Sidhhanta by Arya Bhatta, Phaldipika of Mantreswar etc. have few Slokas stressing the concept. However we didn’t discover much works on this from later astrologers. In modern era, Cheiro has done path braking works on this and frankly speaking this series of articles is indebted to his works heavily.
CHAPTER- I: JANUARY
THE ZODIACAL INFLUENCE FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY IN GENERAL.
January comes under the Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn. It is also called the House of Saturn. If you are born in this month the basic principles of your character and disposition are as follows: ” A nature ambitious, militant, energetic and persevering. You are capable of enormous efforts towards the attainment of a desired object. The planet Saturn, which owing to this month you symbolize, is the embodiment of all that is cautious and discreet.’ You will never take any important step without profound deliberation and unless you are absolutely certain of the result., There is no speculative element in Saturn and therefore you are skeptical, analytical, somewhat suspicious, slow to accept new theories, but broad-minded and open to conviction. The mental force is strong, philosophical and scientific in character; you are a deep thinker and a great reasoner. Above all things, you worship intellect, and can forgive almost anything of your friends if they are endowed with unusual intelligence or talent.
You are exceedingly quick in your intuitions of people and things, but are inclined to be too easily discouraged in your plans, and fall into a despondent state at the first rebuff or disappointment.
Your views on love, duty and social economics will be always unique, and on this account you will often be regarded as odd and eccentric by those around you. Being high-minded and independent, you must lead in whatever you undertake or you will lose interest in your work. You abhor restraint of any kind and revolt against anything of an obligatory nature, though in strange contradiction you show profound respect for tradition and authority.
Life to you is a very serious but involved problem, and you will be inclined to revel in its most pessimistic phases. Constant work and industry becomes with you a kind of mania, but by plodding and quietly working with a given end in view, you will gain much more than by excitement or hurry. You are likely to rise through your own personal efforts and power of individuality far above the sphere of your birth.
As a general rule you will be much misunderstood by others. You will not easily mix with people; you will have few close friends, but at heart feel very much alone. You will make many enemies by nearly always espousing the unpopular cause or the “underdog” in any dispute. You would do best by aiming at some form of public life, such as in municipal affairs or in connection with politics, government life, or positions of responsibility and trust.
HEALTH: The Saturnian influence bearing upon this question for you born in January indicates a vigorous constitution and good physical stamina. At the same time, there is a strong tendency to depression and despondency which, if not acted against, will induce bilious attacks, trouble with the gall bladder, ulcers in the stomach, derangements of the digestive organs, and stoppages of the intestines.
You should cultivate optimism and cheerful society in order to keep in good health. Cold will seriously affect you, and unless you are careful you will be likely to suffer from asthma, bronchial catarrh and such like ailments. You should try to avoid yourself to live in low-lying, wet or damp places, as you will have a tendency to develop rheumatism, gout, pains and swellings in the feet. You are also likely to meet more accidents to the ankles, feet and legs, than normal.
FINANCE: The dominate influence of Saturn ruling your birth-month is not a favourable significator as it causes delays, hindrance and limitations in regard to financial advancement, at least in the early part of the life.
Advancement, gain and success in money is promised by hard work, perseverance and carefulness, thrift and economy. In fact, you are more likely to acquire wealth through your own personal efforts than by any dint of good fortune. Advantageous investments for you would be in land or house property, the building up of factories dealing especially in coal, lead or iron products, machinery for transport work. You will experience much difficulty in obtaining money that should be yours by right and you should never lend without security, or you would be sure to lose
LOVE & MARRIAGE: You will find your most harmonious relationship in persons born in your own Sign (Capricorn). In Taurus(April 20th to May 20th) or Virgo( August 21st to September 20th) and also persons born in the exact opposite part of the year to your own.
