Though it is not as vast spread as other branches of conventional astrology, it is no way less popular than any of its counterparts.

Aspects of Numerology

Principally, it works on a system in which the nine astrological planets have been assigned with certain numbers. Other than that, different aspects of the physical and spiritual existence of a being are also aligned with the basic mathematical laws principles to carry out numerology. As far as the assigning of numbers to planets, it is done on the grounds that certain planets vibrate to certain numbers. Also, Vedic Astrology highly believes that these planets create varied and intense impact on the lives of human beings, though in different dimensions, but overall in a substantial way. The kind of influence which will be drawn depends primarily on the planetary positions and different planetary combinations as formed at that time. Among these, one of the planets is identified to be primarily effective on one’s life, and another planet is considered to be secondary influential.

Significance of Name and Date of Birth

Therefore, date of birth of a person beside his/her name is one significant factor in the numerology process. It is like a core or soul around which entire physical aspects revolve. It defines and determines one’s personality, individuality, relationships, success, career, and past, present, and future.

As already stated, name is one significant factor in numerology. By assessing someone’s name in concord with the date of birth of a person, one can determine that if that name is suitable or unsuitable for a person, of it creates positive vibrations or negative vibrations. Numerology believes that every alphabet and word as well as their sound create certain cosmic vibrations, which might be positive or negative.

It is an undeniable fact that name is the foremost identity of a person, which one carries all through one’s life. It reflects for one’s capabilities and character. It is a source of spiritual motivation, self-awareness, and mounting emotions. It defines for one’s own destiny, and the way one will abide to it in life. It is static, which is adopted (usually) once in a lifetime. Therefore, one should ensure to get it right at the first go. Considering numerology at the time of deciding baby’s name saves one from the latter possible jinx, which might otherwise arise out of an unlucky name.

Application of Numerology

If both name and date of birth of a person can be provided, numerology holds an ability to spread out an elaborate picture about one’s life and all aspects of life. It can describe the intrinsic qualities, purpose of life, and different phases of life. It can also be the base of determining lucky numbers and lucky names, as essentially required during the time of selecting an appropriate date for initiating something, or at the time of assigning a name to a business or project, or at the time of selecting account number, vehicle registration number, house number, etc.

Don’t Allow The Past To Interfere With The Present

Researchers placed some fleas in a transparent canister and then put a lid to close the canister top. In a bid to escape from their prison the fleas would jump, because jumping is the only thing they know to do. Every time the fleas jumped they hit their heads against the lid of the canister. Every hit on the lid brought with it excruciating pain and possibly headaches. The fleas, being good learners soon adjusted their strategies. Instead of jumping high, they would jump in such a way that they would not hit their heads against the lid at the top. With this strategy they succeeded in avoiding the pain of crashing their heads against the lid, but they also forfeited the possibility of ever escaping out of the canister.

The researchers kept the fleas in the closed canister for many days. After a while they noticed that the fleas had adjusted their life styles and were not making any attempts to jump beyond a certain height. At this juncture the researchers removed the lid from the top of the canister. An amazing observation was made, instead of the fleas jumping to freedom, they just kept jumping to the heights they were used to. The headaches and the pains of bashing heads against the lid had taught the fleas to quit jumping so high, enjoy the comforts of jumping low and avoiding pain. Although the lid that once held them captive had now been removed, the mindset that said to them, “This high shall you jump and no higher” still imprisoned them.

This little experiment has very profound lessons for us all. Let us unpack them.

The Normalizing The Abnormal Syndrome

If perfectly normal human beings are put in abnormal situations, their survival instincts kick in immediately. They learn very quickly to adjust their behaviors in a way that minimizes pain and suffering. This is similar to the way the fleas learnt how to adjust their jumping habits. However, when this stay in abnormal conditions is prolonged the survival habits set in and the people become fossilized in those habits-what started as an abnormal response to an abnormal situation soon becomes the norm. People forget that they never used to do things that way, and soon begin to say “this is how things are done here.” We will call this tendency the tendency to “normalize the abnormal”. There are several everyday examples to illustrate the prevalence of this phenomenon. People who stay in problems for prolonged periods begin to see no problem with the problems. Most people born in poor families under very adverse conditions soon adjust and begin to feel very comfortable in their poverty. Most oppressed servants and spouses are inclined to acquiesce than to rebel. The above examples are extreme cases. However, there are numerous less graphic but equally tragic examples.

Here is the great catch! Survival is instinctual, a kind of reflexive response meant to minimize pain and make it from one day to the next without little regard to the quality of life. The key words here are, “little regard to the quality of life.” On the other hand winning in life is a productive of conscious endeavor, the product of deliberate consistent application of certain learned habits, attitudes and skills with deliberate regard to the quality of both life and results. The big question is-Are you living in a survival mode or a winning mode.

The survival mode is designed to minimize pain, failure and inconvenience. Often, but not always, it begins as a response to adverse circumstances which is so prolonged that it soon sets in as a habit. At the beginning it serves a useful purpose because it grants survival, but because it is now a habit it becomes the way of doing things even in the absence of threatening circumstances. It becomes a prison where people and their potentials are imprisoned. The most tragic part is that, like the fleas in the experiment, people are not even aware that the real prison is the mindset and not the initial limitation. Well after the lid had been removed, the fleas were still not jumping to freedom. The fleas were living in the past.

It is very tempting and easy to dismiss this flea behavior as irrational and nonsensical, yet the truth is that most of us are trapped in the past just like the fleas were. Like us examine the evidence.

There is a strong positive correlation between success and the tendency to engage in adventurous efforts. This is a proven truth. The other proven truth is that children tend to be more adventurous and more successful at what they do than adults. The reason is that most adults become less and less adventurous as they grow old because of the painful experiences that they experience while attempting to achieve something. People fall in love and sometimes get heartbreaks and in response they become less inclined to fully commit themselves in future relationships. People attempt some business ventures and most of those that fail become too cautious and less inclined to try again in future. Their past failures follow them and in a way influence their current behaviors.

The biggest casualty in all this is human potential. When the fleas learnt to jump to only the comfortable heights, they learnt to do less than their best and consequently never fully realized their potential. The same is true of you and me. Our current heights in life are not indicative of our potential but of our past conditioning. Each one of us can do better that we are currently doing, but we are stuck in the flea syndrome. Some of us are stuck in a strategy that served us well in the past but is now outdated. Some are stuck in a heartbreak that occurred in the past but is now over. To some the prison is the fear and caution carried over from a long gone and forgotten event. Together we are driving with our hand breaks on.

No matter how careful or experienced a forex trader one may be, the whipsaw is always a clear and present danger. This is one event that can and will catch one off guard, literally knocking even the most able forex manager off his feet. While, every trader will be whipsawed a number of times during his trading career, there are ways to reduce the number of possible whipsaws one may suffer.

I’ve been ‘whipsawed,’ and quite a number of times to. However, as the years ticked by, I started to realize that there are certain scenarios when a whipsaw may strike and disciplined myself to steer clear away form them.

A whipsaw’ is a term used to describe a situation when the market moves defiantly against all logic. A trader may have placed an order expecting the market to go in a certain directions according to his calculations, when suddenly the market moves against him, taking him and his investment for a toss stopping out his trade and all within the hour too.

While most traders will retire disgruntled, cursing their luck and even perhaps blaming the broker for ‘keeping an eye’ on the trade and ‘fixing’ it to make him lose money, other seasoned trader, there for the long haul and to make a career of the profession, will learn from their mistakes, analyse and return only to be stronger, better prepared and will make more money in time.

Whipsaws occur unexpectedly and can cause great loss, however if one knows certain market conditions these events occur in, one can be prepared. Even though managing whipsaws cannot have a one-size-fits-all solution, one can minimize losses and not be wiped out in one blow.

Whipsaws usually and almost definitely occur, when the market ranges. This happens around holiday time such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year etc, when volumes are low. Summers are the time when most whipsaws occur. This is because a lot of people are on vacation and volumes are very low. August is a particular month to watch out for. If you have to trade in summer don’t go with the daily trends, because the markets may look bullish one day and bearish the next. Go with a longer time frame. A week or month is better.

Always keep with the trend. This will reduce the chances of getting whipsawed. Keep a large margin of at least 200 pips. Whipsaws always return to the entry level after a few days if not a few hours.

Last but not the least, if you have been whipsawed you will be angry and frustrated, but don’t try to fight the market, you can’t get even, revenge is a killer especially where trading is concerned. If you have been stopped out, you will just have to wait it out. There will be other days to make some money. Remember, trade with a strategy that you stick to like glue. This includes having some indicators in place, entering the market when they indicate to do so, keeping a fixed lot size to trade, earning a fixed number of pips before you close the trade, keeping a fixed maximum number of pips before stepping out, and you will find that with a good strategy and some practice, you will begin to make more profitable trades than losing ones. The averages will have you smiling your way to the bank!
