Atharva Vedic Astrology, if the Ascendant or Lagna is occupied
by the planets Sun, Mars and Saturn it is sure that the individual
will have lot of stress even if he/she is not doing any critical or
difficult works. Those people will make their mind and life style
as a stressful one. It may seem that there’s nothing one can
do about the stress level. The bills aren’t going to stop coming,
there will never be more hours in the day for all the errands, and
the career or family responsibilities will always be demanding.
But one has a lot more control than he/she might think. In fact,
the simple realization that an individual is in control of the
individual’s life is the foundation of stress management. When
one is under high levels of stress, rational thinking and decision
making go out the window. Runaway stress overwhelms the
mind and body, getting in the way of our ability to accurately

of our own feelings and needs, and communicate clearly. The
stress management consultants prescribe the following ways to
come out of stress. “Think clearly and creatively.

Belt
The man’s belt has long been a symbol of
male strength. Vital energy was thought
to stem form the loins and the kidneys; in
the past, vitality and sexual potency were
always synonymous. For women, the belt
is a symbol of virtue and purity.
Bird
Birds live in the air, the world of the pure
intellect. Birds in a dream symbolize
intellectual matters.
Birth
The process of birth in a dream is a sign
for the beginning of something new. Its
symbolic meaning is, however, extremely
rarely that of a real birth, even in the
dreams of young women. If men dream
of childbirth, it is an allusion to the
origination of new ideas, career prospects,
etc.
Blood
Blood is a symbol of vitality. There still
exists a general popular belief in blood’s
Beach
To see yourself working on a beach shows that, you will soon
be involved with a job, or project, that will be demanding of
your time and effort. If you are just relaxing on a beach this
shows that, you value the calm feelings that your family gets
togethers with you and lends to you. If you see yourself sitting
on a beach and letting the sand run through your fingers, that
shows that you are running out of time on something important
due to idling your time away.
Bear
1. If a bear is pursuing you in your dream, this is a sign that
you will experience some financial losses in business. A bear
also represents a rival you may have for your loved one, if the
bear is seen to be climbing, then the outcome will be in your
favor. 2. That has two sides: one destructive and the other
