Ok folks, we have just one more day, and we are about to get catapulted into Spring. So Get Ready.
This song is very appropriate:
Thousands of years ago, literally thousands, we Iranians finished up all the "spring cleaning" today, and tomorrow. We had massive celebrations on the way. Spring fever was in the air.
What is it that drives us to get out and drive forward? The weather in Iranian plateau from around 20,000 years ago became seasonal. It had not happened before anywhere on the planet ever.
Iranians were clever clocks, and they built lots of measuring instruments. We have loads of stone circles and other buildings. Later they wondered over to other parts of the planet, and places like Stonehenge appeared.
The ancients noticed that plants grew and all of nature woke up. They knew that something very natural was happening. So Iranians wanted to be in synch with it. We mastered time. We found when Spring began. And this year it will be at exactly 05:14:27 GMT on Tuesday.
Our calendar is so accurate we only lose one day every 15000 years. Unlike the Christian one, we add two days every 28 years. Astrologically that is how long it takes for Saturn to to go around the Sun.
So what is the real meaning of Nowruz or Navrouz as the other Caspian States call it? It is when the Sun crosses the Ecliptic. So it is an Earth phenomon. Yes it is Universal. It is not what you normally read it the press. It is very profound. Here is a glimpse.
We Astrologers call it the First Point of Aries. In an individual "it is selfhood, it defines and particularizes the native, his personal appearance, disposition and manner, moral and subjective viewpoint and motivating", as this article states, //www.astrologyweekly.com/dictionary/first-ho....
In a nation the same article states it is "The body politic. The country and its inhabitants as a whole: the people, the masses; their prosperity and health, or the reverse; their national traits and habits; the country's interior affairs; the public consciousness and collective expression; the psychology of the masses, their reactions and conditions."
So that is why we Iranians have identified with our roots for so long. We have withstood all the waves of invasions and managed to keep our ID as it were. Our forefathers knew when to choose our national celebrations.
There is of course so much more. The word "Din" we know as meaning religion, but it means more than that. The month of Day or Capricorn is nine months away, and therefore the ancients called the first month of our year the birth of religion month or Farvardin. But there is more to this.
We like to act in this month and we do not debate. Mars the planet of actions rules this month. The Ram is the designated animal. Look at the ancient Iranian archaeology and you will see the 'v' of the Ram's horns everywhere.
This year we have Uranus the planet of radical thought and political groups joined up with the Sun as Nowruz starts. So no surprises there, as everyone will be into that boring subject of politics somemore.
But Mars is in Virgo, and it will finally get into all the nitty gritty, and sort out the mess we are in once and for all. 2012 is the year when much will end. Look out for what happens in UK, with the Eclipse landing on Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Hezbollahi new parliament will open around that time. Ah well ...
For all of you born in Ardibehesht or Shahrivar or Day, Jupiter will give you a lot of good luck. Mehr will get very serious with Saturn there. Uranus will make those born in the first week of Farvardin act in very progressive if eccentric ways. And in many respects Mehr Tir and Day people born in their first week will have similar characteristics. A lot Shahrivaris will be really busy until summer comes around. They are the civil servants, medics, who will separate the wheat from the chaff, as we sort out our country once for all time. Ya Ahura!
Happy Nowruz to all and thanks for your support.

F: well not everyone is as
by alimostofi on Mon Mar 19, 2012 05:36 PM PDTF: well not everyone is as well known as me to these sweet agents. I wish them a happy Nowruz. It is a good thing that we have Faravahars that are more powerful than any of them. Ya Ahura.

by Fesenjoon2 on Mon Mar 19, 2012 05:34 PM PDTDisenchanted joon: You take things way too seriously. If we were to adopt your attitude toward Astrology to all things seemingly superstitious, Islam would be the first pile of shit that is anything but fact. I mean come on, "shaq ol-qamar"? Talk about magic fairytales.
Ali mostofi, I can't reveal my birthday unfortunately, because of the IRI agents on Iranian.com who are prowling around and want to find and report the identities of the opposition. But I do wish you well. I too believe there is more to the world than we can observe. Be cool!
Happy Nowruz to you both :-)
D: your astrology comment
by alimostofi on Mon Mar 19, 2012 05:12 PM PDTD: your astrology comment better not be answered because if I did it would humiliate you and I would not like that. Please study it in your good time and find out how wrong you are yourself. Nowruz Piruz.

by alimostofi on Mon Mar 19, 2012 04:46 PM PDTF: Astrology needs to know your date of birth before you enter a discussion. Once we know it we can pretty much tell how the conversation will flow. But D does not say. So there we are.

by Fesenjoon2 on Mon Mar 19, 2012 04:42 PM PDTBaba lighten up!
Astrology is not that different from Hafez falgiri or estekhaareh or motevasel shodan be Agha.
Dude, even Newton was obsessed with Alchemy. Biruni and Ptolemy were also Astrolgy practitioners. In fact Einstein himself was a big believer in Newtonian Determinism; that once you have the Initial and Boundary Conditions known, all future events in the universe can be predicted using the laws of physics. The majority of scientists still in fact believe in this worldview, which is why Quantum Mechanics is so despised philosophically.
D: remember it is not
by alimostofi on Mon Mar 19, 2012 04:41 PM PDTD: remember it is not science. It needs a certain degree of intuition. And no you are wrong already.

by Soosan Khanoom on Mon Mar 19, 2012 04:13 PM PDTbut seriously that is what I do for living and I hate it ...
Once in a while we need to open a window to catch the life's passing breeze and enjoy our short time on earth before we die on the bench top in the lab surrounded by the grieving eppendorf tubes and a mutant mouse without brain ..
D: the power of any tool is
by alimostofi on Mon Mar 19, 2012 03:57 PM PDTD: the power of any tool is evident in as much in what it cannot be applicable to, as much as it is applicable to. For example my stock market astrology service is only available to customers who have certain astrological patterns that enables them to appreciate it. I have had many a wealthy person go mad on me beccause I refused to teach him.

Mehr 12th actually is my birthday !

I thought astrology has gone the way of alchemy!

by alimostofi on Mon Mar 19, 2012 03:28 PM PDTS: Saturn in Mehr means that those born in Mehr mah will be very practical and sociably responsible. Now Saturn or Keyvan has been in Mehr for a while, it might have already happened in the past year or so, if you were born at the beginning of Mehr.

Dear Ali ...
by Soosan Khanoom on Mon Mar 19, 2012 03:23 PM PDTI was born in Mehr and because of that I am curious to know what do you mean by: " Mehr will get very serious with Saturn there"
I am usually not a serious person. I change my mind like the spring weather.. lol
But I still am tempted to know what that means ? I am not into these stuff much ... basically clueless !
