Freud on humor and jokes

Freud on humor and jokes Freud on humor and jokes, a text about humor and jokes starting from the works by Sigmund Freud and continuing with quotes and thoughts by Mikes, Brown and Cooper. Last but not least, as you can see from Freud's portrait, you must always keep well in mind that humor is a very serious thing. Now humor is a means of obtaining pleasure in spite of the painful emotions involved; acts as a substitute for the emergence of these emotions; he puts himself in their place... at the price of not releasing an emotion: it comes from saving in the expenditure of emotion. Sigmund Freud Heine is said to have created the last blasphemous joke on his deathbed. When a priest friend reminded him of divine mercy and gave him the hope that God would forgive him his faults, he is said to have replied: ” Bien sûr qu'il me pardonnera: c'est son métier.”… Thus in the dying , which lies there without strength, the awareness arises that he had created God and that he had given him a strength so as to make use of him when the occasion arose. The supposedly created being revealed himself, just before his annihilation, as the creator. Sigmund Freud Two Jews were talking about baths. “I take a bath every year,” said one of them, “whether I need it or not.” Sigmund Freud A doctor, moving away from the bedside of a lady, said to her husband, with a handshake: "I don't like her appearance". "I haven't liked her looks for a long time," her husband agreed quickly. Sigmund Freud The difference between full professors and extraordinary professors is that ordinary professors do nothing extraordinary, and extraordinary professors do nothing good. Sigmund Freud An individual who became poor borrowed 25 florins from an acquaintance. The same day the creditor meets him again at the restaurant, over a plate of salmon with mayonnaise. "But how? You ask me to borrow money and then order some salmon mayonnaise for you? That's what you used my money for. "I don't understand you," replied the defaulting debtor, "if I don't have the money, I can't eat salmon with mayonnaise, and if I have some money, I mustn't eat it. So when will I be able to eat salmon with mayonnaise?”. Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud on Humor Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious (Der Witz und seine Beziehung zum Unbewussten) is a book written by Sigmund Freud, the famous psychoanalyst, and was first published in 1905. In this book, Freud explores the nature and significance of jokes, delving into their psychological underpinnings and their connection to the unconscious mind. Already in the Interpretation of dreams of the 1900s there are numerous references to witticisms, puns and laughter as an emotional discharge with a catarchic function. Continuing with his various researches on the psyche, unconscious activity and sexual theories, Freud goes so far as to compare the technique of witticisms with dream work, and the results of this investigation are found in his book on the motto of spirit and its relationship with the unconscious of 1905 (Der Witz und seine Beziehung zum Unbewussten), and here his reflection takes on a structured dimension, such as to make the witticism one of the fundamental modalities of the presence of the unconscious in the portion aware of mental life. Freud begins by suggesting that jokes serve as a social and psychological outlet, allowing individuals to express thoughts and emotions that might otherwise be repressed or unacceptable. He argues that jokes often involve the release of pent-up psychic energy, providing temporary relief from tension and inhibitions. Freud claims that "our enjoyment of the joke" indicates what is being repressed in more serious talk. Freud argues that the success of the joke depends upon a psychic economy, whereby the joke allows one to overcome inhibitions. According to Freud, understanding of joke technique is essential for understanding jokes and their relation to the unconscious, however, these techniques are what make a joke a joke. Freud also noted that the listener laughing really heartily at the joke will typically not be in the mood for investigating its technique. The book is divided into three sections: "analytic," "synthetic" and "theoretical." The book's first section includes a discussion on the techniques and tendencies of jokes. The second section includes a discussion on the psychological origins and motives of the joke and the joke as a social process. The book's final section discusses the joke's relation to dreams and the Unconscious. Freud analyzes various types of jokes, including innocent wordplay, obscene humor, and wit. He examines the mechanisms behind joke formation and enjoyment, such as condensation (combining multiple meanings into a single expression) and displacement (redirecting taboo thoughts or desires onto more acceptable targets). According to Freud, jokes often rely on the violation of social norms and the release of repressed desires, making them a form of disguised wish fulfillment. Furthermore, Freud explores the relationship between humor and the unconscious mind. He suggests that jokes often contain hidden meanings and symbolism that reflect unconscious desires, conflicts, and fantasies. By analyzing the underlying content of jokes, Freud believed it was possible to gain insights into an individual's psyche. Overall, "Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious" is a pioneering work that explores the psychological aspects of humor. Freud's analysis provides a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind joke formation, their social functions, and their connection to the hidden workings of the human mind. The essay on Humor of 1927 instead deals with an aspect that had been confined to a few pages in the last chapter of the text on the Witz. The pleasure in saving expenditure was identified in sentiment, with the suspension of affective participation in facts or phenomena that should have caused great affliction. It was then a question of a defense mechanism, superior to repression as it triumphed over automatism. In the brief essay Freud reiterates the importance of that "noble", grandiose character of humour, which is explained in terms of a triumph of narcissism, in the victorious affirmation of the ego's invulnerability to external attacks, thus demonstrating its proud closeness to Jewish humor.

George Mikes Since every religion was able to make me laugh, I decided that after all humour might have become my own true religion. Carl William Brown I don’t believe in God, but I have got a magical sense of humour. Carl William Brown All art is quite useless and so it is the universe. Carl William Brown The world is destined to become even more comical; that is why humorists are the real precursors of our future civilization. Carl William Brown Jokes are better than war. Even the most aggressive jokes are better than the least aggressive wars. Even the longest jokes are better than the shortest wars. George Mikes A humorist is a writer, like the rest. He may make superficial fun on manners, he may crack jokes on the obvious or again he may be a serious and profound critic of society. George Mikes A philosopher with a sense of humour will laugh at a joke instead of performing a post mortem on it; and a philosopher will not be able - however competent he may be otherwise - to teach us a lot about the sense of humour if he himself lacks one. George Mikes The Oxford English Dictionary defines a joke as a thing said or done to excite laughter; witticism, jest; ridiculous circumstance: Nuttall's says: a jest to raise laughs: something witty or sportive; something not serious or in earnest. One could argue that these definitions are not perfect. But as (a) everybody can argue that no definition is perfect, and (b) we all know what a joke is - I shall not waste too many words on this point. George Mikes It is obvious that inventing a joke is a creative activity which should come under the definition of art. Telling a joke is a performance, it is performing art. George Mikes The context is the playing surface of the joke; a background, a condition, a set of limiting facts. In Humour, as in usage generally, context may be verbally linguistically, in the understood situation or the general cultural assumption. Walter Nash First of all, a joke can put things, definitions, ideas in a nutshell ... Secondly, jokes can elucidate things, often more revealingly than long and complicated scientific definitions ... A joke or anecdote can prick pomposity and show up cant and hypocrisy better than any other method. George Mikes Or take the political joke - another case where the joke, while it must be funny in its own right, has a deeper, more significant meaning... Under oppressive regimes jokes replace the press, public debates, parliament and even private discussion - but they are better that any of these... The joke is a flash of lightning, athrust with a rapier. It does not put forward the "argument" that the tyrant is possibly mistaken: it makes a fool of him, pricks the pomposity, brings him down to a human level and proves that he is weak and will one day come crashing down. Every joke told weakens the tyrant, every laugh at his expense is a nail in his coffin. That is why tyrants and their henchmen cannot possibly have a sense of humour, any more than an archbishop can be an atheist or a monarch a republican. No one living in the free atmosphere of a western democracy can imagine the liberating and invigorating effect these jokes have as they spread from mouth to mouth. George Mikes We are hit by the joke but, as psychoanalysts put it, our ego regresses, gives up some control and for a moment relaxes its jealous, guarding position. George Mikes Understatement springs from the English character: and having become second nature it also contributes now to the formation or development of the English character. As I said, it is not only a joke, not always a joke and, occasionally, it is very much the opposite of a joke ... The whole rhythm of life in England is understatement; their suppression of emotion is understatement; their underreaction to everything, the polite word instead of the expletive (when the latter would help so much more to clean the air), the stiff upper lip, the very climate with its absence of extremes, all these are understatement. George Mikes

Tommy Cooper Here are now some other examples of very short jokes by a famous English comedian and then a longer one: I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes. She gave me a hug. Tommy Cooper I went to buy some camouflage trousers, but I couldn't find any. Tommy Cooper I said to the waiter, 'This coffee tastes like mud.' He said, 'Yes, sir, it's fresh ground. Tommy Cooper I haven't slept for ten days. Because that would be too long. Tommy Cooper I've been on a diet for two weeks, and all I've lost is fourteen days. Tommy Cooper I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to stop going to those places. Tommy Cooper One day a waiter fell sick and was rushed to hospital. He was lying on the table in great pain. When a doctor passed by the waiter said: “Hey doctor, could you do something for my pain?” The doctor said: “I’m sorry this isn’t my table.” Tommy Cooper I said to the waiter: “There is no chicken in this chicken soup.” He said: “And there’s no horse in the horseradish either. Tommy Cooper I saw an old tramp walking down the street wearing one shoe. I said: “Hey, you lost your shoe.” He said: “No I found one.” Tommy Cooper Electricity is a wonderful thing. Do you realise that of we didn’t have electricity we’d be watching television by candle light? Tommy Cooper A newly-appointed school inspector was assigned to a class in one of the local kindergartens and was introduced to the class by the teacher. She told the class, “Let’s show the inspector just how clever you are by allowing him to ask you a question.” The inspector reasoned that since this is a kindergarten started by a church, so he asked a biblical question: “Class, who broke down the wall of Jericho?” For a full minute there was absolute silence. The children all just stared at him blankly. Eventually, little Alec raised his hand and was asked to speak. Little Alec stood up and said: “Sir, I do not know who broke down the wall of Jericho, but I can assure you that it wasn’t me.” Of course the inspector was shocked by the answer and the lack of knowledge of the famous Bible story and he looked at the teacher for an explanation. Realizing that he was perturbed, the teacher said: “Well, I’ve known Alec since the beginning of the year, and I believe that if he says that he didn’t do it, then he didn’t do it.” The inspector was even more shocked at this and stormed down to the principal’s office and told him what happened, to which the principal replied: “I don’t know the boy, but I socialize every now and then with his teacher, and I believe her. If she feels that the boy is innocent, then he must be innocent.” The inspector could not believe what he was hearing. He grabbed the phone on the principal’s desk and in a rage, wanted to dial PM’s office, but he paused and decided this could be a bit of an overreaction. So instead he phoned his old childhood friend – Minister of Education. The inspector rattled off the entire occurrence to him and asked him what he thought of the state of education in kindergartens. Education Minister sighed heavily and replied: “I don’t know the boy, the teacher or the principal, but just get three quotations and get the wall fixed lah!"

Ancient Astrology History

Define:-

astrology, type of divination that involves the forecasting of earthly and human events through the observation and interpretation of the fixed stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the planets. Devotees believe that an understanding of the influence of the planets and stars on earthly affairs allows them to both predict and affect the destinies of individuals, groups, and nations. Though often regarded as a science throughout its history, astrology is widely considered today to be diametrically opposed to the findings and theories of modern Western science.

Any day learning astrology with proper Guru will be more effective, the very reason for this is astrology is such a vast subject with so many resource available today you can easily carried away by irrelevant information. Having said that, you can also learn from online resource but don’t hesitate to validate them with your personal experience.

The books by Dr.B.V. Raman and K.N. Rao are best resource to get started, both of their books are detail and rational. You could also learn from their training institutes. KN Rao founded Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan and Dr. B.V. Raman founded “Indian council for astrological studies” to help people learn this divine subject.

Except few YouTube channels I don’t recommend any other, as I observe many of them repeat the concepts that are already detailed in books.

Few important tips here,

Take ample time to read the concepts and never rush through the concepts.

It is normal to apply the concepts to your own chart, but don’t over do it. It is natural to decode our own birth chart first, but if someone over do it then their learning would stop.

Check as many horoscope as possible and validate the concepts you learn.

Never hesitate to break the traditional concept, if with your repeated interpretation found something new share with larger audience.

Never learn this divine subject with intention to make money. If you master this subject and have strong intention to help people then money will become byproduct.

Research, Research and Research. If someone have passion they can find astrological combination for anything.

Last but not least, use the subject to spread positive energy in the world. Help people to identify good and bad time to accelerate or apply brakes in their life. Don’t use this divine subject to fear people.

Purposes of astrology

The original purpose of astrology, on the other hand, was to inform the individual of the course of his life on the basis of the positions of the planets and of the zodiacal signs (the 12 astrological constellations) at the moment of his birth or conception. From this science, called genethlialogy (casting nativities), were developed the fundamental techniques of astrology. The main subdivisions of astrology that developed after genethlialogy are general, catarchic, and interrogatory.

General astrology studies the relationship of the significant celestial moments (e.g., the times of vernal equinoxes, eclipses, or planetary conjunctions) to social groups, nations, or all of humanity. It answers, by astrological means, questions formerly posed in Mesopotamia to the bāru.

Catarchic (pertaining to beginnings or sources) astrology determines whether or not a chosen moment is astrologically conducive to the success of a course of action begun in it. Basically in conflict with a rigorous interpretation of genethlialogy, it allows the individual (or corporate body) to act at astrologically favourable times and, thereby, to escape any failures predictable from his (or its) nativity.

Interrogatory astrology provides answers to a client’s queries based on the situation of the heavens at the moment of his posing the questions. This astrological consulting service is even more remote from determinism than is catarchic astrology; it is thereby closer to divination by omens and insists upon the ritual purification and preparation of the astrologer.

Other forms of astrology, such as iatromathematics (application of astrology to medicine) and military astrology, are variants on one or another of the above.

Horoscope

horoscope, in astrology, a chart of the heavens, showing the relative positions of the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the ascendant and midheaven signs of the zodiac at a specific moment in time. A horoscope is used to provide information about the present and to predict events to come.

An individual horoscope usually plots the moment of birth and is used by astrologers to analyze character, as well as—in conjunction with other astrological data—to predict the future. This is in accordance with the belief that each celestial body has its own mythological character, modified according to its geometric relationship with the other celestial bodies at a given moment. Everything in the universe being interrelated, these bodies exert an influence, particularly on the newborn. In casting a horoscope, the heavens are commonly represented by a circle divided into 12 intersections, called houses. Each of these houses is assigned several departments of human life, such as wealth or marriage. The planet that falls within a particular house is said to influence matters pertaining to that house.

1. Modern (or, Psychological) Astrology

Drawing on the archetypal work of Carl Jung who pioneered incorporating astrology into psychoanalysis, what we call “Modern Astrology,” is many people’s first introduction to this expansive world—it’s the basis of most of the memes, after all. A reading with a modern astrologer will give you an overview of your life’s joys and challenges as well as a better sense of why you are who you are and do the things you do.

2. “Traditional” Western Astrology (Hellenistic, Medieval etc.)

Reading Type: Varies in length (sessions usually 45-90 minutes), many practitioners are beginning to specialize in this type of astrology so there’s a lot to choose from! Best For: Those who are new to astrology looking to evaluate life circumstances and plan for future events

The astrologers of early modern civilizations were much more interested in fate than they were in individual ambition. That said, in “Traditional” Astrology, not every part of the chart is necessarily about you. The chart also represents the places you go and people you interact with along the way. A reading with an astrologer who specializes in any form of Traditional Western Astrology (Hellenistic or Medieval are the most common) can help you reckon with your personal circumstances, untangle events from the past, or prepare for what’s to come in the future.

3. Evolutionary Astrology

Reading Type: Varies in length (sessions usually 45-90 minutes), more of a specialty so there may be less availability

Best For: Soul-searching types who have some experience with astrology and want a deep, unique perspective

Evolutionary Astrology was first practiced in the 1970s and can be described as a combination of metaphysics and humanistic psychology. Primarily using the planet Pluto and the lunar nodes as touch points, Evolutionary Astrology can tell you not only about your current life but about your past lives as well. The idea is that our souls are on a path of self-discovery and empowerment. Through understanding our soul’s mission, we can heal and evolve into our best forms. Evolutionary Astrology is definitely the most woo-woo of any of the types listed here, so it’s definitely for those who want to embrace astrology’s poetic side.

4. Vedic Astrology

Reading Type: Lengthy (sessions can be 3 hours+), usually very expensive

Best For: Those with some astrological experience who are serious about holistically integrating astrology into their lives

Vedic Astrology, also known as Jyotish, is rooted in the Vedas, the oldest texts written in Sanskrit, which inform Hindu religion and philosophy. Unlike other types of astrology, Jyotish has been practiced uninterrupted for thousands of years in India and beyond. This continuous application allows for a deep rigor and precision in a Vedic reading that you don’t get with other types of astrology. The Vedic tradition is rooted in spirituality and meant to be integrated holistically into your life. You will leave a reading with remediation suggestions—such as mantras, offerings or dietary adjustments—to improve your circumstances, based on your chart.

Beyond Natal Astrology

Most people think astrology is just about birth charts, but that’s just one branch of astrology. You can meet with an astrologer to learn about dates for important events, figure out the location of lost objects or discover the best city for you to live, all without even mentioning your individual birth chart.

5. Horary Astrology

Reading Type: Quick (written reports or a 15-20 minute session typically), inexpensive

Best For: Very specific questions within a closed timeframe

When you’re in a pinch for an answer, Horary Astrology is the way to go. A reading is like doing a quick three-card tarot pull. The idea is that you must come to an astrologer with a very specific question (ie, “Where are my keys?” or “When will I hear back about my job interview?”) that can’t be answered any other way. The astrologer then draws up the chart of the moment that your question was asked to delineate the answer. None of your birth info is necessary! Just because it’s quick doesn’t mean it isn’t potent as this method usually gives spookily accurate results as long as the question is legitimate.

6. Locational Astrology

Reading Type: Done as a report or a one-on-one reading; astrologers usually “specialize” in this modality so it can be more expensive

Best For: Those who are looking to move or see how moving might change their life

Locational Astrology can help you find your soulmate—if your soulmate was a city that is. Astrologers who specialize in this technique can give you a rundown of your “compatibility” with specific cities or geographical regions to help you decide about a job offer or making a move for love.

7. Electional Astrology

Reading Type: Easy delivery (report or quick one-on-one session), but usually expensive

Best For: Those looking to find the best dates for a wedding, business launch or other important event

Whether you’re looking for the best time to finalize your divorce papers or the ideal date to launch your next entrepreneurial venture, Electional Astrology can help you pick a moment that’s aligned with the stars. Electional astrologers work with you to—ahem—elect auspicious dates in the future that will give your contract, business or relationship the best chance of success.

8. Relationship Astrology

Reading Type: Lengthy, often quite expensive

Best For: Committed couples looking to better understand each other

The most common questions astrologers get are about love and money. Though you can tell a lot about your partner from your individual chart, getting a joint reading that describes your synastry (another word for astrological compatibility) can enhance your relationship on a cosmic level. Ethical astrologers won’t do this type of reading unless both parties consent to it, so make sure your partner is really down before you schedule the session!

9. Medical Astrology

Reading Type: Lengthy, usually an ongoing relationship with the astrologer, expensive

Best For: Those who want to understand medical conditions from a perspective outside of Western medicine

So you know that Pisces are spacey dreamers but were you aware that Pisces rules the feet? Since the earliest practice of astrology, the signs and planets have all had body correspondences. Through the Medieval period, medical astrology was even included in a doctor’s professional training. Sometimes a transit makes you think certain things but often, it also makes you feel a certain way in your body. To this day, medical astrologers—like Claire Gallagher, whose recent book Body Astrology breaks down this method so it’s digestible even for beginners—chart how the stars affect these ebbs and flows.

What are the Purposes Of Astrology | Monkvyasa

On the other hand, astrology’s initial goal was to predict a person’s future based on the positions of the planets and the zodiac signs (the 12 astrological constellations) at the time of his or her birth or conception. The foundational methods of astrology were created from this field known as genethlialogy (casting nativities). General, catechismal, and interrogatory are the three primary branches of astrology that emerged following genealogy.

General astrology investigates the connections between social groups, nations, or all of mankind and key astronomical events (such as the vernal equinox, eclipses, or planetary conjunctions). It provides astrological explanations to queries the bru had previously been asked in Mesopotamia.

Whether or not a chosen moment is astrologically favourable for the success of a course of action started in it is determined by catarchic (pertaining to beginnings or sources) astrology. It basically goes against a strict interpretation of genealogy because it enables the person (or corporate body) to operate during astrologically favourable times and avoid any failures implied by nativity.

Based on the heavenly conditions at the time the client asks the questions, interrogatory astrology responds to the client’s inquiries. This astrological counselling service necessitates that the astrologer undergo ritual purification and preparation since it is even more removed from determinism than catarchic astrology.

Other types of astrology are variations on one or more of the aforementioned, such as iatromathematics (the application of astrology to medicine) and military astrology.

Historical development

Astral omens in the ancient Middle East

The astral omens used in Mesopotamian divination were later incorporated into what is now known as astrology in the traditional sense and formed the basis of a subfield of astrology called natural astrology. The cuneiform work Enma Anu Enlil, which is devoted to celestial omina, began during the first dynasty of Babylon (18th to 16th centuries BC), even though lunar eclipses appear to have been viewed as foreboding at a considerably earlier period. However, this series’ ultimate compilation and codification were not finished until the start of the first millennium BC. A standard version, however, never existed, according to the tablets that have survived, the majority of which are from King Ashurbanipal’s (7th century BC) Assyrian library. Each copy featured a distinct layout and contents that were intended to make it easier for the owner to consult the omens.

The four major categories that the Enma Anu Enlil omens were divided into were named after the four main deities who were involved in the ominous communication: Sin, Shamash, Adad, and Ishtar. Omens related to the Moon’s earliest crescents, eclipses, haloes, and conjunctions with certain fixed stars can be found in Sin (the Moon); Sun-related occurrences like eclipses, the simultaneous observation of two suns, and perihelia (additional suns) are dealt with by Shamash (the Sun) as omens; Ishtar (Venus) contains omens relating to planetary phenomena such as first and last visibilities, stations (the points at which the planets appear to stand still), acronychal risings (rising of the planet in the east when the Sun sets in the west), and conjunctions with the fixed stars. Adad (the weather god) is concerned with omens relating to meteorological phenomena, such as earthquakes, thunder, lightning, and cloud formations. Although this network of watchers was formed throughout the Assyrian kingdom in the 7th century BC, their reports frequently mention these omens, they appear to have fallen out of favour by the conclusion of the Persian era’s rule over Mesopotamia (ending in the 4th century BC). The right linkages between celestial phenomena and terrestrial events were afterwards sought out in numerous writings collectively referred to as the Diaries. The Achaemenid dynasty controlled Persia from 559 to 330 BC. Prior to this evolution, however, parts of the ancient omen series were directly conveyed to Egypt, Greece, and India as a result of their dominance of these cultural areas or of their border regions.

Astral omens in Egypt, Greece, India, and China

An ancient demotic papyrus based on an original from around 500 BC provides the bulk of the evidence supporting the transfer of lunar omens to Egypt during the Achaemenid period. The remnants of a treatise written in Greek in the second century BC and allegedly addressed to a King Nechepso by the priest Petosiris point to a more comprehensive usage of Mesopotamian heavenly omens.The second book of the Apotelesmatika, or “Work on Astrology,” by Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer of the second century AD; the first book of an astronomical compendium, by Hephaestion of Thebes, a Greco-Egyptian astrologer of the fifth century AD; and the On Signs of John Lydus, a Byzantine bureaucrat of the sixth century AD, all included material from Enma AnuThe Magusaeans of Asia Minor, a group of Iranian settlers influenced by Babylonian ideals, provided another another route of transmission to the Greeks. Several Classical books on natural history, especially those of Pliny the Elder (c. AD 23–79) and the Geoponica, contain their lessons (a late collection of agricultural lore).

Numerous works on heavenly omens also exist in various Middle Eastern languages, though it is still unknown where they came from and whether they are directly related to Mesopotamian culture or came from Greek or Indian intermediates.The most significant of these writings are those that the Harranians attribute to Hermes Trismegistus and are now preserved in Arabic, the Book of the Zodiac of the Mandaeans (a Gnostic sect still active in Iraq and Khuzistan), the Apocalypse, which is attributed to the biblical prophet Daniel and is still in existence in Greek, Syriac, and Arabic versions, and The Book of the Bee in Syriac.

During the Achaemenid occupation of the Indus valley in the fifth century BC, it appears that Mesopotamian omen literature, including the material in Enma Anu Enlil, was transmitted to India. Buddhist missionaries played a significant role in bringing this information to Central Asia, China, Tibet, Japan, and Southeast Asia. The earliest indications of this knowledge may be found in Buddhist literature from this time. But the earliest iteration of the as-yet-unpublished Gargasamhita (“Compositions of Garga”), which dates to around the first century AD, is the most significant of these Indian texts and the oldest one still in existence in Sanskrit. The original Mesopotamian text was changed to conform to the Indian social structure, which included the four-caste system and the upper castes’ obligation to carry out the samskaras (sanctifying ceremonies).

The Brhatsamhita, or “Great Composition,” of Varahamihira (circa 550), the Jain Bhadrabahu-Samhita, or “Composition of Bhadrabahu,” (circa 10th century), and the Parishishtas (“Supplements”) of the Atharvaveda (possibly 10th or 11th century), are the most notable later collections of omens in Sanskrit, though these add little, However, there is a significant infusion of Arabic adaptations of the ancient Mesopotamian celestial omens as conveyed through Persian (Tjika) translations in the works titled Tjika from the 13th century and afterwards. In the older Sanskrit works, the omens’ links with astrology had mostly been in the areas of military and catarchic astrology; however, in Tjika, they are strongly related to general astrology.

Christmas With Steve Rogers

A/N: This is my gift to the amazingg @bellamys for @teamcap4bucky ’s Summer Sun and Fun challenge! So for the last week, I’ve been blog stalking @bellamys account and I fell in love with how hysterically hilarious she is, so here’s to you babe!

Having lived your whole life in Wakanda, you’ve never celebrated Christmas before.

So Steve decided that you were going to have the best first Christmas ever.

You guys spent every second of the holiday together.

You met Santa, (who at first you thought was a creepy pervert when he asked you to sit on his lap), you did secret Santa with the rest of the Avengers, you tried gingerbread cookies and eggnog and all the holiday food that Wanda and Vision had made.

And on Christmas Eve, Steve took you skating at Rockefeller Center.

Your eyes twinkled in delight like an excited child as you saw the ice rink and the shining Christmas tree in the middle of it.

As you stared in wonder at the rink, Steve stared in wonder at you. In the light of the setting sun, you glowed brighter than the star on top of the tree. Your cheeks were flushed from the cold and your hair was falling out from its bun, but you didn’t seem to care.

You were the most precious thing in the world to him.

Once you were on the ice however, you lost all feelings of delight as you desperately clung onto the rails.

Steve was no help whatsoever, laughing as he skated circles around you.

Finally, after so many falls that you were pretty sure your butt looked like a swollen peach, you started getting the hang of it.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas came on and of course, you and Steve had to dance.

Suddenly, you felt something cold land on the tip of your nose, and you looked up to see thousands of snowflakes starting to fall from the night sky.

And as the snow fell around you and the song reached the end, you looked down to see Steve on one knee.

“Y/N... Will you marry me?”

Hope you liked it babe!💙

Astrology is a sort of divination that involves observing and interpreting the fixed stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the planets to predict earthly and human events. Devotees think that knowing how the planets and stars affect earthly matters permits them to forecast and alter the fates of individuals, groups, and countries. Despite being recognised as a science throughout its history, astrology is largely regarded today as being diametrically opposed to modern Western science's findings and views.

Particular celestial bodies and their diverse motions, configurations with one another, and the processes of generation and destruction visible in the worlds of fire, air, water, and earth were thought to have special relationships. These relationships were sometimes thought to be so intricate that no human intellect could fully comprehend them; thus, the astrologer could be forgiven for any inaccuracies. Those whose physics was more close to that of the Greek philosopher Plato assumed a similar set of special relations. The element of fire was thought to extend throughout the celestial spheres by Platonic astrologers, and they were more prone than Aristotelians to believe in divine intervention in natural processes through celestial influences on the earth.

The original objective of astrology, on the other hand, was to predict the course of a person's life based on the positions of the planets and zodiacal signs (the 12 astrological constellations) at the time of conception or birth. The essential procedures of astrology were created from this science, known as genethlialogy (casting nativities). General, catarchic, and interrogatory astrology are the three primary subcategories of astrology that emerged following genethlialogy.

What Is Astrology?

crystal gazing, kind of divination that includes the estimating of natural and human occasions through the perception and understanding of the decent stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the planets. Aficionados accept that a comprehension of the impact of the planets and stars on natural undertakings permits them to both anticipate and influence the fates of people, gatherings, and countries. However regularly viewed as a science over now is the ideal time, soothsaying is broadly viewed as today to be entirely against the discoveries and hypotheses of present day Western science.

Nature and importance Crystal gazing is a technique for foreseeing commonplace occasions in view of the presumption that the divine bodies-especially the planets and the stars considered in their erratic mixes or setups (called heavenly bodies)- somehow or another either decide or demonstrate changes in the sublunar world. The hypothetical reason for this presumption lies generally in Hellenistic way of thinking and fundamentally recognizes crystal gazing from the divine omina ("signs") that were first classified and indexed in old Mesopotamia. Initially, celestial prophets surmised a geocentric universe in which the "planets" (counting the Sun and Moon) rotate in circles whose focuses are at or close to the focal point of the Earth and in which the stars are fixed upon a circle with a limited sweep whose middle is likewise the focal point of the Earth. Later the standards of Aristotelian material science were taken on, as indicated by which there is a flat out division between the timeless, round movements of the wonderful component and the restricted, straight movements of the four sublunar components: fire, air, water, earth.

Motivations behind soothsaying The first reason for crystal gazing, then again, was to illuminate the individual regarding the course of his life based on the places of the planets and of the zodiacal signs (the 12 prophetic star groupings) right now of his introduction to the world or origination. From this science, called genethlialogy (projecting nativities), were fostered the principal procedures of soothsaying. The fundamental regions of soothsaying that created after genethlialogy are general, catarchic, and interrogatory.

General soothsaying concentrates on the relationship of the huge divine minutes (e.g., the hours of vernal equinoxes, shrouds, or planetary conjunctions) to gatherings, countries, or all of humankind. It replies, by celestial means, questions previously presented in Mesopotamia to the bāru.

Catarchic (relating to beginnings or sources) crystal gazing decides if a picked second is prophetically helpful for the outcome of a strategy started in it. Fundamentally in struggle with a thorough understanding of genethlialogy, it permits the individual (or corporate body) to act at prophetically good times and, subsequently, to get away from any disappointments unsurprising from his (or its) nativity.

Interrogatory crystal gazing gives replies to a client's inquiries in light of the circumstance of the sky right now of his suggesting the conversation starters. This celestial counseling administration is significantly more remote from determinism than is catarchic soothsaying; it is subsequently nearer to divination by signs and demands the custom sanitization and planning of the soothsayer.

Can I request a Billy Hargrove fic of basically this girl who is quick witted and not shy about letting people know what she’s thinking and he is, at first “intimidated” by her (like she’s a threat—even though she’s really nice to people). Shes kind of afraid of the reputation he’s made but then they bond over music and he ends up tricking her into going to a concert with him and then add some sort of conflict?

Hi! I don’t write for Billy, though I do write about Dacre and Jason Scott, along with Steve, Nancy, and Jonathan. With that being said, here are some really good Billy fic writers, you might have to look into if their requests are open though!

These astrological-anatomical connections were intended for extremely practical purposes when medical astrology was at its height. For instance, if a doctor was helping a patient with colitis, they'd connect that condition to Virgo, since that sign rules the intestines. Then they'd look to see what planet was in Virgo at the moment, as that would give them a better idea of the root of the problem (Mars, Hill says, would indicate inflammation or aggravation in the intestines). Once they determined the sign and planet, the doctor would be able to prescribe a specific set of medicinal herbs to the patient. Hill is quick to clarify that, just because you're a Leo (which is believed to rule the heart and spine), that doesn't mean you're doomed to be afflicted with back pain for your entire life. More accurately, the parts of the body that your sign rules are simply points of emphasis — not necessarily illness. You could be Leo with a strong back and great cardio just as easily as you could be a Leo whose blood pressure could use some maintaining. Contemporary medical astrologers aren't as commonplace as they once were, but the practice hasn't died out altogether. Hill cites a continued interest in the discipline among naturopaths, practitioners of holistic medicine, and even the rare MD. But even if you aren't a medical practitioner (or astrologer, for that matter), you can still find meaning in exploring medical astrology for yourself. Although the assignment of body parts to Zodiac signs was originally for practical purposes, you can find some meaningful symbolism in these pairings, too.
