At the same time the place where the sign was at the time of one’s birth (lagna) decides the lagna.This is the basis that gives clue to one’s tendencies and generally indicates one’s life primarily.
When the Sun changes its position periodically in the Constellation, it indicates the present fortune of the individual in conjunction with the lagna.

Astronomers have restored the original Babylonian zodiac by recalculating the dates that correspond with each sign to accommodate millennia of subtle shifts in the Earth’s axis. Prepare to have your minds blown, all you people with easily blowable minds.
Here is the zodiac as the ancient Babylonians intended it—with the dates corresponding to the times of the year that the sun is actually in each constellation’s “house”—according to the Minnesota Planetarium Society’s Parke Kunkle:
Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16.
Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11.
Pisces: March 11-April 18.
Aries: April 18-May 13.
Taurus: May 13-June 21.
Gemini: June 21-July 20.
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10.
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16.
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30.
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23.
Scorpio: Nov. 23-29.
Ophiuchus:* Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.
* Discarded by the Babylonians because they wanted 12 signs per year.
Karunanidhi says he came to Chennai from Tiruvarur with nothing except a steel trunk.
We know how much he was paid for script writing.
Even top Stars like Sivaji/MGR got a maximum of 2 lakhs a film around 70’s.
How come Karunanidhi has crores at stake in officially discloded ventures?
Karunanidhi and DMK were declared to have mastered Scientific Corruption’ by Sarkaria Commission.
Story:
It is said Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi gets Rs 45 lakh for every movie script. That he chose to make an asset disclosure when Ilaignan, his 75th film as writer, is due for release has been seen as the tactic: it was to distance himself from the spectrum scam. The Radia tapes have his third wife Rajathi talking about the purchase of a Rs 300-crore building in Chennai.
In a 10-page emotion-tinged letter to DMK party workers released last week as a response to allegations of amassing wealth in the spectrum scam, Karunanidhi said: “I have already willed my house at Gopalapuram to be converted into a hospital for the poor. Apart from this, I have no other immovable property in my name nor have I added to any of my acquisitions in my long public life.” Referring to Sun TV Network getting consolidated under Kalanidhi Maran after the death of his nephew and former Union minister Murasoli Maran, the DMK leader said when the business was restructured and his family members withdrew from it, he was given Rs 100 crore” (as disinvestment proceeds), of which Rs 22.50 crore was paid as income tax and the remaining Rs 77.50 crore shared by his sons and daughters. “My share was Rs 10 crore, of which Rs 5 crore was placed in a fixed deposit,” he said.
In November 2008, however, when Sun TV vacated the DMK building on Mount Road, Karunanidhi wrote to party workers, explaining the rift between him and the Marans, and revealing that the family got Rs 100 crore when his wife M.K. Dayalu offloaded her stake in the group. The next day, Sun TV Network Chairman Kalanidhi Maran told the press it was at Karunanidhi’s insistence that the group was restructured. He said charges were being levelled against them by Karunanidhi at the “instigation of selfish elements” in the family.
Now, the Radia tapes have revealed a new slant to the whole story of Dayalu’s Sun TV stake. It emerges from one conversation about the Sun TV deal that “Maran paid Rs 600 crore to Dayalu, Stalin’s mother”. The Red Herring prospectus filed by Sun TV Ltd with the Securities and Exchange Board of India, however, says Dayalu was holding 5.75 per cent of the shares. The total number of equity shares in her name as per the prospectus is 1,15,000. They were transferred on October 28, 2005 at Rs 3,173.04 per share, the document says. The total value of the shares is thus Rs 36.48 crore.
And that’s where the arithmetic has question marks: How much did the Karunanidhi family get from the Marans in the Sun TV deal: Rs 100 crore as Karunanidhi says, Rs 600 crore as the Radia tapes say, or Rs 36 crore as the Red Herring prospectus indicates?
A French photographer has captured a stunning photo of the space shuttle Endeavour docked with the International Space Station crossing the face of the sun.
You couldn’t just aim your digital camera at the sky and get results like this. Thierry Legault, who is known for his amazing astronomical imagery, uses specialized solar filters to capture the images.
When the shuttle docked with the ISS on July 15, the combined crews set a new record for space-vehicle occupancy. The 13 people aboard the station are the most that have been aboard the same vehicle in space. The astronauts have installed a “porch” on the space station for space-exposed experiments. The new addition effectively completes the Japanese Kibo laboratory.
Astronauts are deploying a variety of other scientific installations, too. One public-interest project, the Tomatosphere II, exposes millions of tomato seeds to space, which are then returned to Earth and distributed to classrooms across North America.
