Razor Blade: The umbilical cord between the mother and new born is cut using a razor blade. It indicates the native may cut ties with the planet indicated either by karakatwa or lordship or placement. For example, 3rd connection shows cutting ties with sibling(s), 5th connection may show cutting ties with family due to education and career (hostels etc), 2nd connection may show someone away from his family or extended family. 5 and 7 connections along with Rohini influence will show love marriage with a person who is different in social class (status or caste etc).
Ram (Male Sheep): Himalayan Sheep are great climbers of the mountains. These people aim very high. In a herd of sheep, there are about 100-150 female sheep for every Ram. This can mean high libido for the person or many love relationships, when afflicted or other factors confirm this.
