In Vedic Astrology, longevity is primarily analyzed through the 8th House (House of Longevity/Death), the 3rd House (8th from the 8th), the Lagna (Ascendant/Body), and their respective lords. Saturn (शनि) is the universal significator (Karaka) of age and longevity.

Today is a Tuesday (Mangalvar) ruled by fiery Mars. The Moon is transiting the intense water sign of Scorpio (Vrishchik) under the Anuradha Nakshatra. This alignment creates a highly focused, deep, and determined energy, perfect for tackling difficult problems but requires strict control over anger.

The day begins with morning prayers at Jain temples, followed by an Abhisheka (ceremonial bathing) of Lord Mahavir's idol. A grand chariot procession known as the Rath Yatra is carried out. Devotees also engage in deep meditation, fasting, and significant charitable acts like distributing food and clothes to the needy.

No. This is the biggest mistake people make. The astrological rule states that the nail must not be heated in the fire (बिना अग्नि मे तपाये). It must be beaten cold into a ring shape. Heating it destroys its acquired planetary energies.
