Compassion brings peace of mind.

"Compassion brings peace of mind. It brings a smile to the face.
Education needs not only to develop our intelligence, but also to support the basic human values of warm-heartedness and compassion. These are not qualities confined to the religious, because we all want peace of mind. And if we remember that others too are human beings like us. we can extend a sense of kindness even towards those we think of as enemies."

Good food, good clothes, good shelter are not meant a good life.


A good life does not mean just good food, good clothes, good shelter. These are not sufficient. A good motivation is what is needed—compassion, without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy—just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their rights and human dignity.

The natural calamities (magma from volcano, fire, earthquake, seismic activity, storm, flood, tsunami, etc.), natural/human made explosions, trending of war, and accident of the transportation (airplane, etc. ) we shall keep a watchful eye on.

What we shall do during Saturn in Dhanus is we have to think twice before we make the actions or decisions, we have to be patience to communicate with whom we deal, we have to learn to forgive someone we may not like or who treats us not well. We have to practice mediation. 

The following predictions are by Saturn in Dhanus.
China - The nation sets the high target for itself and the nation wants to extend its business. The nation may meet the struggle or block with other countries. The people of the nation may feel unhappiness. Stock exchange and birth rate may be watched.
India - The economic activity, trade, financial stability, strength of currency, and religion of the nation may meet the challenge. The death rate, the health and transportation of the nation may be watched. The nation should watch the relationships with neighbor countries. People of the nation work hard and the labor strike may be happened. People of the nation may get lost their direction.
U.S.A - The transformation or revolution of the nation, the relationship with other countries and the business of the nation meet the challenge. The people of the nation may feel struggle and conflict.
