Virgo - For Virgoians, this is not at all a favourable period. Hindrances and impediments on the path of progress. Adverse period for real estate agents. The professional sphere is characterised by mental tension. This period may adversely affect the health of the father. Those with a strong Jove in the Natal chart may get legacy.
Libra - The health of the spouse may affect mental peace. Unnecessary journeys and wanderings. You may have to face calumny. Quarrels with neighbours foreseen. Loss of prestige and status.
Scorpio - For Scorpians, this time is very favourable as Jove is in the Second ( Vitha Samriddhi ). There will gains of a high order and increase in income. Good returns from previous investment cannot be ruled out.

Astro Genetics
Genetics is the science of Heredity. In Astrology, we observe that the laws of Genetics do operate. We find that the horoscopes of children have some traits of their parent's horscopes !
I was astonished to see that in the horoscope of my son, Jupiter is angular. So it is in my daughter's horoscope. In mine, he is in Cancer, in the Ascendant and angular. Angular Jupiter is considered to foster spirituality.
So we find that two great sciences, Astrology and Genetics combine to form Astro-Genetics !

SL pulls off spectacular win !
What a win for SL!
They were down in the dumps at 50 odd for 5 and then resuscitated with a superb innings by Sangakara. England took the lead with (Ian Bell scoring 83) and then they scored a massive 440 odd with Sangakara top scoring with 152 ! And then they skittled out England for 261 ( Ian Bell 74). The last 3 wickets were sensational. Murali bowled Prior and Sidebottom was lbw. Malinga clean bowled Hoggard and the game was over !
Truly it has been defined as a game of glorious uncertainties !

Younis Khan redeems Pak & Sangakara SL
Centuries by Sangakara and Younis Khan redeemed their countries. England now needs 341 to win. Pak drew the Calcutta Test, mainly due to the heroics of Khan.
Sangakara is in tremendous form and ranks now as No 3. His form with the bat is amazing. No doubt, along with Gilchrist and Dhoni, he is one of the best wicket keeeper batsmen in the world. Following his 92, his 152 is simply breathtaking. If he continues in this fashion, more records will tumble.
Pak batting asserted itself and they scored 214/4. Younis Khan continues in good form. No all eyes are on the final Test. Pressure still on Pak, as India leads 1-0

5 Things To Consider When Choosing A Name For Your Baby
By: Babynology
1. How Does The Name Sound?
This is definitely the most important factor. When you say the name aloud does it have a pleasing sound? Choose a name and say it repeatedly. Call it out loud and see if it appeals to you and your spouse. Also, call out the first name along with your last name. Now if your last name is ?Weiss' then naming your baby boy ?Seth' or ?Ross' would make it: Seth Weiss or Ross Weiss! Not so pleasing is it? An Adam Weiss on the other hand has a nicer ring to it!
2. What Does The Name Mean?
Once you select a name that you and your spouse really like, go ahead and find out what it means. Often the nicest sounding names have extremely unpleasant meanings or means nothing at all. While some parents are ok with that, others may not be. Also, it is really nice to grow up knowing your name means something lovely like a little girl named ?Dew' or a boy named ?Michael'.
3. Is It Appropriate To The Baby's Gender?
Again, while unisex clothes and unisex everything has become really popular, are you sure you really want a unisex name for your baby? Let your baby's name reflect his or her gender. While some names are genuinely acceptable for both and often we use nicknames for our children that could belong to either gender, a baby's proper name must be suitable to its gender. Having a boy's name for a girl or vice versa can make things very difficult for your child during the early school years.
4. Is The Name Trendy And Currently Popular? Not Too Popular Is It?
Another thing to keep in mind when naming your baby is whether the name is currently popular and trendy or not? Names like Calista and Leonardo are of all the rage, thanks to Ally McBeal - the hit TV series and Titanic - the movie. Many parents continue to prefer using Biblical names like John and Mary for their children.
However, often it pays not to follow the bandwagon. You could look hard and find a really unique name for your little angel. Just make sure its not so unique as to be made fun of!
5. Tradition Has Value
Lastly, there's a lot to be said for tradition. Naming the baby as per ?numerology' or even for the ancestors can have a positive impact on the baby's future. Even if you take these astrological signs with a pinch of salt? a little bit of extra luck never hurt anyone!

Effects of Daily Numbers IV & V
Effects of Daily Number IV
4,13,22,31 -These numbers are helpful to your progress. Despite their favourability, you will have to confront many adversities and impediments on the path of Life. But Victory will be yours ultimately. 13 will help you to remove obstacles. 22 will do good. Victorious you will be in the affairs which you indulge in. But 31 will lead you astray. It will create panic or depression in the mind. There will be dissatisfaction, even if the mission is fulfilled in time
Effects of Daily Number V
5,14,23 - all these numbers are good for travel. These numbers are auspicious for starting any venture. You will have to exercise maximum vigilance in all affairs you indulge in. Even though 14 is a good number, the 4 contained in it is a creator of obstacles and hindrances. 23 is a very good number. 2 and 3 are bosom friends. Because of that, these 2 numbers will vie for supremacy to give you good results.

Effects of Daily Number II & III
2,20,29 - all these numbers are not so auspicious as Daily Numbers. If your Birth Number is 2, it is not so inauspicious. But 11 is an exception and will do wonders. 20 is not so auspicious. 29 is very bad as a Daily Number. Suffering and strife will be the result.
Effects of Daily Number III
There will be strife, if you get 3,12,21 & 30. Expectations may not bear fruit. 12 also will not confer fortune. It will throw you out from possibilites conducive to Victory. But 21 and 30 will not harm you. The 1 and 3 in them will not abandon you. They will try to help you at any cost.

Misbah redeems Pak
With his 161 not out, Misbah played a stellar innings to rescue Pak.
Harbhajan took 5 wickets and the match looks like heading for a draw, unless the Indian spinners devastate.
Time is not enough for that, one feels. India is ahead with 301 runs and will declare today, but one feels that time is not enough to get 10 Pak wickets. Anyway one cannot tell about this game of glorious uncertainties.
In SL, Vandort and Jayasuria pulled SL from ignominy. Jayasuria, after a grand knock, announced his retirement from Test cricket.
Jaffer impressed again. D Karthik couldnt build an innings. We expect Yuvraj to come in for next Test. Why cant Dravid open ?

Daily Number or Today's Effect
Daily Number is calculated by the formula
Daily Number = Birth Number + Sum of the numbers which is today
Suppose a man's birth date is 23
Birth Number = 2+3 = 5
and the date is today 03/12/2007
03+1+2+2+0+0+7 = 15 = 1+5 = 6
5 + 6 = 11 = 1+1 = 2
You can look for the Effects of 2
Effect of Daily Number 1
This is a lucky day for you. Whatever you indulge in will succeed. But if the combined number is 28, the effect will not be auspicious. You can postpone whatever you want to do to a later date, if you get 28. The 2 and 8 of 28 are not auspicious at all.This 28 will put you in controversy and it will laugh at your misfortune.

WI, RSA take revenge
Wi beat ZIM comprehensively. So did RSA against NZ.
In Calcutta, centuries by Misbah and Akmal brought some semblance of sanity into Pak batting. Pak may avoid the follow-n, as they need 50 odd runs to do so.
Magnificent century by Gibbs made it easy for RSA. Gibbs in full cry is a treat to watch. He surely is one of the best attacking batsmen in the world today.
If Pak avoids the follow-on, most probably the Test will be drawn. Everything depends on Misbah. The Indian bowlers could not do much on tha easy paced track.

Second day belonged to India
Yesterday Zimbabwe's remarkable win was great, as also NZ's.
Today, at Calcutta, both Ganguly and Laxman scored centuries and India declared at 616/5 and took a Pak wicket for 50. Kumble effected the first breakthrough.
Ganguly scored his 14th hundred and Laxman, his 11th. This is a great comeback for Ganguly. His allround performance was good in the last Test. If India wins the series, she may move over to the 3rd position in Tests.
SL were all out for 188. England in reply are 49/1. Sangakkara continued his ominous form with the bat and scored 92. Hoggard took 4/29, wrecking SL. Tomorrow the match will start earlier than scheduled.
India has a different team for Tests, another XI for ODIs and another XI for T20s! Australia, on the other hand, has the same eleven for all formats ! The explanation given is that the Test batsmen like Dravid, Laxman etc are slow starters or they take time to settle down. Anyway, it has been a good disply by India, ( except against Aussies ) in all three formats of late !
