The Zodiacal Sign of Leo comprises the four quarters of Alpha Leonis ( Makha) ,  Delta Leonis ( Poorvaphalguni)  & the first quarter of  Beta Leonis ( Uttaraphalguni) .

Health 

This time is not conducive to good health and you will be beset by all sorts of health hazars, You can resort to Water Therapy, Juice Therapy, Fasting Therapy, Fruit Therapy etc for optimum health.  Fasting is the best medicine and fasting is resorted to in Ayurveda. Indigestible particles are digested during the process of Fasting. Water should go in during the Fasting Phase. For seven hours, the body should be devoid of food, even though water should be consumed. 

Profession  

Jealous rivals find this time to attack you. Calumny has to be faced. You will find that the field of Profession is not a bed of roses. You have to be doubly careful not to lose goodwill. 

Wealth 

You will find a lot of detrimental factors cropping up. It is upto to hold discretion and not jump into anything, without aforethought. Patience is the mother of all virtues. Pls note that this phase is only a temporary phase. 

Personal

This is the time of misunderstandings and know that Love alone can solve all misunderstandings.  

Ladies

Be careful that misunderstandings do not spoil relationships. 

Real Estate

Wait for the Realty Market to revive itself. In India, Realty has not crashed, but then there are less transactions and prices have stagnated.  

Students

Concentration becomes difficult and you will find this phase disconcerting. 

Remedial Measures

Fasting on Saturdays and chanting the Saturnine mantra Om Shanaiswaraya Namah in a state of mental and physical purity can bring home the bacon. 

Impact of WFC 

Because of the World Financial Crisis, all markets are in Recession. This is World Recession. Boom means that the economy has extended itself and a Recession becomes due to restore it to its original balance. It is the Law of Balance in operation!

However, we find that Gold Market is on a Bull run, in sharp contradistinction to Realty & Stock. The Dollar and the Rupee are falling. I can tell you my experience. I bought gold coins for Rs 1210 and sold it for Rs 1295/-, a gain of 85 INR per gm. Isnt that enough?

It is better not to indulge in Stock & Realty. The Realty growth curve in India has been halted by the World Recession and it is better to exercise caution and restraint in Stock & Realty. In the Stock Market, there are some bear rallies, but the Primary Impulse continues to be bearish !

These are the days of Deflation, which is more dangerous than Inflation. The value of Real Estate goes down due to falling prices. Also Stock. Only Gold seems to be insulated from Deflation. In the coming years, the whole world will be under Deflation. It is 1.61% in India, based on the Wholesale Price Index ! Hope this Recession will not turn out to be a Second Great Depression !

In any market,  - gold, realty, stock & forex etc - the key to Market Success is Contrarian Investing.  Buy cheap, sell dear is the principle in all markets -stock, realty, gold, forex etc.

The key to Market Success is Contrarian Investing. The Stock Market is now Bearing and it is better to hold on in this volatile markett. 

Real Estate Market is also caught by the World Recession and this is not the ideal time to invest. However, it may be dull for a while, but will pick up later. 

The Transit of the North Node, Rahu 

The North Node causes sickness, danger and sorrow while transiting the lunar  Fourth. Health should be cared for. Danger can be everywhere. Sorrow is of
two types - past regrets and future fears. There will be a dearth of happiness during this phase. Many friends may turn hostile. There may be
problems from jealous relatives. Many relatives may turn enemies. You have  to put Altruism first and then you can develop both materially and
spiritually. You need the goodwill of the populace. Altruism is the essence  of life. During this adverse transit, you can rely on your inner spiritual
resources. All your efforts will be in vain, if you dont incorporate  patience and perseverance. Adversity is merely a test of fidelity. They are
part of the protractive trials of high Jove. You have to keep your equanimity and presence of mind and not fall a prey to Melancholy. Astrology programs and Astrology Software deal with the transit of the Nodes.

Rahu’s mantra Om Rahave Namaha can save you from the troubles caused by the North Node. Also fasting on Saturdays.

If you want to calculate the longitudes of planets and create an Astro Software, then the best book for you is Laplace's Celestial Mechanics. You can find out the mean longitudes of the planets, calculate the perturbations, the epicycles and then calculate the Heliocentric Longitudes of planets. You can use Laplacian equations to then reduce it to the Ecliptic Coordinates and then reduce them to Geocentric Coordinates, thus computing the true longitudes of the planets. A must for Astro software developers.

Kepler's Formulae 

Kepler represents Old Astronomy. If you want to creat an Astro Software, you have to solve the Kepler problem. The Kepler Equation, M = E - e Sin E, may soundeasy, but it is a transcendental equation and the most difficult amongst Kepler's equations. We can find out the True Anomaly of the planet, that is the angle between the planet and perihelion. The next step is to find the Argument of Perihelion, which is the angle between the Node and perihelion.


Laplace - Advanced Astronomy

Laplace's Celestial Mechanics is one of the best books ever written. If you read this magnificent book, you can handle Astronomy and Maths easily.
