Lucky numbers and Number Characteristics

Numbers are a part of our lives one way or the other. Be it, our phone number, vehicle number, house number and even our name, everything has number in it. Read on to know everything these numbers to do to you and learn to control them. 

These numbers might have positive or negative impact on you, it could be lucky or unlucky. For instance, take a lottery ticket; you could have all the first 6 numbers, but the final number will make or break your life. So, every number is important in its own way. 

What is Lucky number? 

There are many illusions related to lucky no., like some people call Birth number as the lucky no., while some call the Moolank (Life Path Number) as the lucky no. But the truth is different. If you think carefully then you will understand the meaning of lucky no. Luck means destiny and Lucky means fortunate; hence, luck number means fortunate number. The no. which proves lucky for you is your lucky no. For example, a person born on 24 March, 1991 has the birth no. 6 and Moolank (Life Path No.) 2. Birth no. 6 considers the Moolank 2 as its enemy. Under these situations, if the native considers 6 as his lucky no. then Life Path number or Moolank will face negative energy and troubles may occur in the path of life. If he considers 2 as the lucky no. then physical health or image may get affected. But if the native takes no. 5 then Birth no. and Life path no. both will get positive energy and there will be harmony between the two. Therefore, for the person born on 24th March, 1991 no. 5 will be the lucky no. It is not possible that any third no. other than the birth no. and Life path no. could be your lucky no. In many cases, among the birth no. and Life path no. anyone can be your lucky no. or both could be the lucky numbers for you.

Difference in debilitated and exalted planets

By Mrityunjai Ojha

We can see there are so many confusions about debilitated and exalted planets, many people consider debilitated planet as a malefic planet. So today we will try to understand what is the basic difference in both these conditions of a planet.

To know the reason for debilitation and exaltation one may read my detailed article here.

Click here - Exaltation and debilitation of Planets

Now I will try to explain how planets work in debilitation and exaltation stage.

Exaltation & Debilitation Stage 

Exaltation means, the planet is placed in a sign where it works well and gives the optimum result as per its nature. For example, Sun denotes the fire element, Sun is the king, Sun needs to rule his kingdom in a proper way, he needs to flow his energy in a positive way throughout his kingdom. Sun is exalted in Aries and not in Leo, though both the signs are with fire elements. This is because Leo is a fixed sign and Aries is a moveable/Cardinal sign, so Sun’s energy will keep flowing/moving in Aries but it will get seized in Leo.

Let’s take one example for Mars, Mars is a young, energetic and quick planet with fire as its element. So why does Mars get exalted in Capricorn and not in Aries or Leo?. Mars will not do his best in Leo and Aries (uncontrolled fire with fire), but it will do his best when we will control his energy and use in proper way in Capricorn. Capricorn is a cardinal sign with earth element, whereas Mars energy can be controlled and used. When Mars is debilitated in Cancer sign, it’s energy will be lost.

For a more simpler example, lets consider this circumstance. Suppose you are an actor and you have to choose between Delhi and Mumbai to live, you would obviously choose Mumbai as the opportunities are more there. But if there was no choice and you had to live in Delhi then that will not make you any less of an actor but will only delay your chances in growth.Same with the case when Sun in Libra. As such, if a planet is in debilitated condition, it will not lose its quality but it will take some time to give it’s results.

The main difference is that exalted planet will give results quickly and perform well, but debilitated planet take time and will not be able to work properly up to the mark. It does not mean that Exalted planets are good and debilitated planets are bad in a horoscope. For that analysis we have to see functional and natural nature of the planet and other things in a horoscopes to judge which planet is good or bad.

Karwa Chauth is not just a ritual but a very special day in the lives of the married Hindu women. Karva Chauth fast is highly popular among the women of Northern and Western India, especially, Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat. Let’s take a look at some of the aspects of this highly popular day.

For the women of Punjab, Karwa Chauth is not just an ordinary day but a grand day with grand celebration. Several days before the actual day of Karwa Chauth, markets get flooded with decorative items and accessories like beautiful saris, heavily embroidered suits, bangles, several eatables and sweets. Women get up early in the morning, dress traditionally and eat ‘Sargi’ which is given to them by their mother-in-laws. Later in the day, they gather with the women of neighborhood to perform the evening puja. According to the customs of Punjab, women observing fast can take tea after the evening puja but the fast is broken only after offering prayers to the Moon at night. ‘Baya’ is also a Punjabi custom performed on this day in which; clothes, jewellery or any other gift is given to the mother-in-law of the girls parents.

Rajasthan

In Rajasthan, Karwa Chauth is also known as Vata Purnima and has its own meaning and significance. There, the women make Karwas with mud and fill it with rice, wheat, cloves, cardamom and a silver coin. They dress traditionally in their wedding dress and observe the fast not only for the welfare and long life of their husband; but, also to bind them for the next seven births. According to the rituals, before offering water to the Moon, the married woman is asked “Dhai?” to which she responds, “Suhaag na Dhai”. An elder woman of the family narrates the Karwa Chauth story and its significance to all the married women. women here take the first sip of water from their mother-in-law’s hand. 

Uttar Pradesh

In Uttar Pradesh, married women decorate the walls of their home with paintings and drawings of Maa Gauri, the Sun and the Moon. They make karwa with mud and perform puja in evening with earthen lamps. The women of Uttar Pradesh first pray to the figurines (puppet or figure) at their doorstep and then the Moon. Gaur Mata is also worshipped by creating her idol with soil, water and kumkum. Story of Veer Vati is narrated by a priest or elder woman and following song is sung:

Sadaa suhagan karve lo, Pati ki pyari karve lo, 

Saat bhaiyon ke behen karve lo, Vart karni karve lo, 

Saas ki pyaari karve lo

Women of Uttar Pradesh don’t take even a sip of water the whole day and take anything only after worshipping the moon at night.

In Gujarat, married women observe this fast with high spirit. In Madhya Pradesh, traditions of Uttar Pradesh are followed mainly. Women dress in new jewelry and clothes (mostly wedding dress), apply mehndi on their palms and feet and gather with their families to celebrate this auspicious day.
