Lal Kitab with Remedies
The study of the positions of celestial bodies and their consequent cosmic influence/effects on biotic and abiotic entities on Earth in general and human affairs in particular, may be defined as astrology.
A band of the celestial sphere which extends about 8° to either side of the ecliptic represents the path of the principal planets, the Moon, and the Sun. This band of seven celestial bodies which influence human affairs and personalities are divided into 12 equal parts called signs, each 30° wide, bearing the name of a constellation (a visual formation of stars perceived as a figure or design, especially one of 88 recognized groups named after characters from classical mythology and various-Common animals and objects) for which it was originally named but with which it no longer coincides owing to the precession of the equinoxes. Dragon’s head (Rahu) and Dragon’s Tail (Ketu) are shadow planets, but they have an astounding effect on the native.
We call names of days in a week in our day-to-day life but most of us perhaps are not aware that this seven-day system is based on the ancient astrological perceptions that the seven celestial bodies revolving around stationary Earth influence what happens on it, and that each of these celestial bodies control the first hour of the day named after it. This system, according to western thought, was brought into Hellenistic Egypt from Mesopotamia, where astrology had been practiced from times immemorial and where seven had always been a propitious number.
In A.D. 321, Emperor Constantine the Great, grafted this astrological system onto the Roman calendar, made the first day of this new week a day of rest and worship for all, and imposed the following sequence and names to the days of the week: Dis S’%lis, “Sun’s Day”; Diffs Lznae, “Moon’s Day” Difs Martis, “Mars’s Day”; Diffs Mercuri’, “Mercury’s Day”; Difs lovis, “Jove’s Day” or “Jupiter’s Day”; Difs Veneris, “Venus’s Day”; and Dis Saturn’, “Saturn’s Day.” This new Roman system was adopted with modifications throughout most of western Europe: in the Germanic languages, such as Old English, the names of four of the Roman Gods were converted into those of the corresponding Germanic Gods.
Therefore mm Old English we have the following names (with their Modern English developments and day Lord according to Western/Indian Astrology): Sunnandzg, Sunday (Lord Vishnu); MYnandeg, Monday (Lord Shiva); Tuesday (the god Tiu, like Mars, was a god of war; Hanumanji), WYadnesdeg, Wednesday (the god Woden, like Mercury, was quick and eloquent; Goddess Durga); Thunresdag, Thursday (the God Thunor in Old English or Thor in Old Norse, like Jupiter, was lord of the sky; Old Norse Th’4rsdagr influenced the English form; Lord Brahma); Fr°gedzeg, Friday (the goddess Frigg, like Venus, was the goddess of love; Goddess Lakshmi); and Saeternesdzg, Saturday (Bhairon).
