Karmic pattern and your luck based on your mental instincts

1. Physical features: Most attractive and innocent looking person. There is an inherent magnetically force in her look. If She looks at a person with a mild smile, rest assure, that person will be her slave.

2. Character and general events: She keeps equal relationship with high and low people i.e. irrespective of the status of the person. She has a spot-less heart. She does not like to give troubles to others. The only drawback noticed in this native in the behavioral field is that temper is always on the tip of her nose. However, such short-temper is not of a permanent nature. She will not hesitate to sacrifice even her life to those who love her. At the same time once she is hurt She will become a lion. She has wisdom, knowledge, and personality.

She is expert in delivering attractive speeches. She is capable of vanquishing her enemies and attain fairly high position. She is sexually inclined always and desirous of being in the company of other sex.

3. Education, sources of earning/profession: She can attain mastery over several subjects at the same time. Even if she is not academically much educated, her expression and knowledge put forward to the world will equal to that of highly educated persons. She is much interested in fine arts and has ability to write prolonged articles or books.

In the work field, she can shine well due to her extraordinary capacity and capability. Laziness is a remote question for her. Once she opts to undertake a job she cannot turn back till that job is completed. Even in the case of utter failure she is not desperate. If she is employed she will reach to the top. In most of the cases it has been noticed that even if this Nakshatra born persons are employed initially in the lower or middle level positions, they later on reach to a good position and they always receive reward and praise from others.

It has been noticed that her stability in life or even the slightest upward movement begins after her marriage. She starts her livelihood at a very young age say 18 or 19 years of age. She will have important changes in the professional field at her 19th, 21st, 28th, 30th, 35th and 42nd years.

4. Family life: While She keeps praising her father on the one side due to the prominent personality and religious rigidity of her father, She cannot virtually derive any benefit from her father. She leads a neglected childhood. She is normally subjected to a life away from her home town.

5. Health: Her health will be very good. She is non-care about her own health. Hence she will search for a doctor only when she is seriously ill. She is prone to paralytic attack, stomach problems, piles, and hernia.

Other possible effects:


Females born in this Nakshatra will also enjoy more or less the same results as that is applicable for male natives mentioned above. In addition, the following results will also be enjoyed:

1. Physical features : She is of medium height with stout body. Large and protruding eyes.

2. Character and general events : She is a real "Lakshmi" (goddess of wealth) in the family. She is the embodiment of a real family woman. Her behavior is extremely cordial, respectful and praise worthy. Adaptability as the circumstances warrants. Suitability as the occasion warrants and lastly impartiality as the country needs are her main characteristics. When all these three essentials required for the present day are combined in one, what more I can describe or attribute to her character.

3. Education, sources of earning/profession: Employed females can attain good positions due to their own effort. She is best suited to the profession of a lawyer or arbitrator. She is also a good nurse or a doctor.

4. Family life: These females will be a gem in any family they are born or married. In other words, their foot-steps are sufficient to bring in Laxmi (goddess of wealth).

5. Health: She is prone to rheumatic pains, acute indigestion, constipation, hernia and in some cases tuberculosis of low intensity.

Life, Ironies, AC/harlatans and Teacher/Writer Stories in TriniTropics


the magic wand that adjusts myself

i woke up with so much on my mind/ so much so that i did not sleep well. it toiled and turned with me all night. and so i woke up with no abilities this morning > all i had to write, gone from me, at least in any form of coherent elegance; just pointers and quotes, no expansions. the primordials of living took over the esoteric.

the AC was sluggish and blowing warm, so i said I would tend to it before the sun rose too high. Only to my surprise that the thing is in such a decrepit state it is now out of my hands. The professionals must now come in and dismantle it. Professionals used wide, far and loosely, for the professionals were cleaning it all along and yet i have never seen any of them do the work that i now see is necessary. Then i think of the proliferation of AC installers and realize, everyone is selling to gain a dollar or a few. None are servicing, maintaining or building relationships. When they sell these machines, why dont they sell you a year's worth of service automatically? And even as I propose such a thing, when you call them you would not be able to find them. Anyway, the point is, many of the AC sellers/servicers have no clue what is it is they are doing. I just got confirmation from one of the providers, the one I prefer from convesation that he has a lot of business correcting the errors made in installation and service. He emphasized, many are not even installing units properly/ that customers feel "a cool" and have no idea of the technical aspects..One more area of charlatans. So here I am searching on a Saturday morning on an emergency call for an extreme AC Service. Good business to go into, if one is skilled, methodical, and organized, especially in this global warming heat and living in such a polluted country where your unit may need to be serviced every two months. sigh

then my mechanic calls me to give me an update on my vehicle. it is locally bought, so guess what? harder to get parts. So if i had bought a foreign used, he would have an abundance of sources to check for my part. Did you see me channeling the facets and fact of irony and ironic living in trinidad the other day? more points to ponder

so, my Saturday morning has started, albeit glad for the quiet and silence except all the fans in the house blowing on me even as I sit on the no window patio...looking out at the green under full direct top sun brightness... having to release all my plans and intentions>>>for i am out my capacity and fretting will do nothing for morning glory

so let me shift into telling you how living is continually entertaining...
my cousin, in from Baku, in from Houston had a lime last night that no one told me about..both his siblings on here, talked to one almost every day, and nothing, only a frantic aunt phoning me at 7 to tell what she neglected to I dont know how many days prior and running. I get it this morning as I am working the phones on an ac gig. this after the whole family was together on the bess bashment shindig last Sunday. Irony

I hear last night in another lime that I would not have been had i known of my cousin's that, "if i was not about change and making a difference in this trinidad place, I would have jobs coming my way in abundance; but because I am trying to be about something and not about 'eat-ah-food', folk are threatened. threatened that I upset their carts and bounties; their pedestals and petty recognition, name and following...something so

but that came after the most poignant piece for me. having spent the day on a thread of more than 300 comments by midday, i was left thinking and realizing, how much smart and stupidity has conflated...into one result and impact, the same difference. ergo our crisis

a great light at a far off tunnel...I met a visiting professor, who i found at my table when i returned, chatting up family and friends, and then she turns to me and engages...asking me if I am not a teacher...which launched a table talk/klatsch...the fact is I am,was born, inherent, gened...Teacher/MasterTeacher. Been hearing that all my life. supposedly written in my palm.. And listening to her talk, realized, I really should teach...Anyway, i started talking to her of a far off mentor, Parker Palmer...then she asked me what was i doing now, she presumed I was at university or the school system. I told her I was not. She asked why. I said dynamics. She said, "sounds to me that you should write about it". I said I do. I have lots. She said, "i would love to read some of it" and goes onto say, I have a good intrack with JoseyBass, you know, the publisher of Parker Palmer, Perhaps.."

and my eyes lit up, cause in a flash thought.side track, I asked, {Really, Universe, Just now, right now, here, with her, so easy?}...the dream i have been waiting for arrives as I thought it would -not with me selling myself but someone else recognizing...

[back to earth] of course all this is presuppository* so we take it as it comes, no eggs no clutch, nor chickens to count...just following the road through to see where it might lead, what may come

so it appears I wasnt to be anywhere else but where I was...last night. right now. flowing with life as it gives.

and so as I have given off frustration from the night's non-rest, to this morning's non-AC, I decided to do the one good thing I am able---to make another fb page, this one on a matter that has been mulling my brain for months now...a page for the Unemployed...those looking for gigs, work and livelihood..where we can exchange information, contacts and opportunities; list our CVs/Resumes for readers...i guess now that I think about it, it is BranchOut Local...(shrugs-who knew)--thus the way of a poorly thought out plan--an attempt at action in the midst of much inaction/non doing...

share it round to those you know unemployed and underemployed, will you
