Nakshatras and Padas
Communication is the key aspect of this nakshatra., all sort of communication falls under Revati Nakshatra. This nakshatra, as we know, is the last among
nakshatras and thus has a lot to do with moksha and final enlightenment. Revati is the most tricky and clever amongst the nakshatras.
Revati is one of the most pleasing and benevolent of nakshatras. It is an extremely fortunate nakshatra which sees everything in a positive light. It is the
eternal optimist and remains completely calm and sober even during the biggest setbacks. It has an innate trust in divine providence. It knows how to keep
the faith but in some cases it has a tendency of not doing anything except having faith. This is nothing but being lazy and getting escaped from Karma.
A lot of the natives born under Revati nakshatra tend to rely too much on belief and their beliefs are not always real. For such reason aspect of Saturn or
influence of Saturn is required to give a realistic and grounded touch to Revati. Keeping blind faith and being in idle fantasies are the biggest drawback of
Revati Nakshatra and these are the prone characteristics of dreamer which is closely associated with the sign Pisces where we can find Revati Nakshatra.
Revati people are always supportive to others hence they often get supported as well. The peculiar thing about Revati natives is that they always get support
when they need it most. Revati natives seem to have pleasing social personalities with sophistication, grooming and civilized behavior. No other nakshatra
comes close to Revati as far as being a socialite is concerned. They are very good hosts and their friendships last long because of their responsible nature.
They are very understanding of others problems and like to be as helpful to as many people as they can. However, sometimes they take too many peoples
problems on their shoulders, and can exhaust themselves mentally, emotionally or physically as a result.
Revati has no sense of limit, it has the tendency of over doing things. Mostly they exude the power through communication. Revati has the strongest ability
to cast illusions, while at the same time in its lower aspect it can just as easily get trapped in illusions itself. Theres nothing which is beyond the scope of
Revatis domain and thus it is very difficult to label it, stereotype it, or put its nature and activities in a box. It always surprises others by turning into
something completely different.

Spontaneous is the word to describe this nakshatras in one word. It is a nakshatra which is way ahead of all the other nakshatras as far as initiating
anything. It is also the quickest amongst the nakshatras. All associated qualities with quickness and speediness form the core of Ashwinis functioning.
One can see that in order to be quick one has to be direct and to the point. This nakshatra has a straightforward, no nonsense approach to dealing with
things and life in general. This nakshatra is related to Sage Marichi which means Light; no wonder Ashwini is the lightest and swiftest among all the
nakshatras.
Entire Ashwini Nakshatra falls in Sign Aries whose ruler is Mars thats how this sign has so much of initiative power. Mars is the engine which drives
Ashwinis car. This nakshatra also has a close relationship with Sun, since Sun reaches maximum exaltation here. And planetary ruler of this Nakshatra is
Ketu.The creative force of Ketu can sometimes be so strong and overwhelming that it becomes difficult to control or channel. This is where things go wrong
with this nakshatra. Its downfall usually comes through attempting close to possible feats without proper consideration. However when it succeeds, it gets
the pioneer label.This nakshatra has a strong faith in magic and the dictum anything is possible.
Sun, Ketu and Mars express themselves strongly when placed in Ashwini. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Rahu are good here as long as Ketu is well placed.
conjunctions of Sun/Ketu; Sun/Mars and Mars/Ketu carry energies similar to Ashwini.
The natives with prominent Ashwini never lose a minute in converting their impulses into thoughts and their thoughts into action. This often results in an
impulsive behaviour pattern, which in its negative aspect often leads to rashness. All the phrases like Hurry causes delay, and haste makes waste, goes
very well to Ashwini natives. When Ashwini is rising on the Ascendant, it makes the person short, athletic, robust and charming in an innocent sort of way.
They have tendency not to learn from their mistakes, and can be seen to be repeating the same mistake over and over again. Ashwini natives usually like to
dress well and can be seen spending a considerable amount of time on their wardrobe.

One peculiarity of Ashwini natives is that they are moderate eaters and are modest in any circumstance. They are not the show off types and are not likely to
gloat over their accomplishments. They have a thing about being self sufficient and dont like to be Dependant on others. Ashwini is a very resourceful
nakshatra. Natives under its influence always seem to come up with the required resources under the most adverse circumstances, like a magic. they lack in
discipline and endurance required to achieve perfection.
Example : Bruce Lee, the famous martial artist, was born with Ashvini rising on his Ascendant. His life in its entirety illustrates all the different aspects of this
nakshatra. Besides his amazing swiftness and
quickness, the event which immediately illustrates Ashwinis energies relates to the almost magical recovery he made from an injury, which doctors thought
would paralyze him for life. Ashwini is most compatible with Shatabisha.
Extreme is the one word which sums up Bharanis essential nature and functioning.It swings between polar opposites like ignorance and wisdom, maturity
and immaturity,life and death. Bharani represents the desire of life. Just like a child wants to experience all of its surroundings, Bharani natives have a desire
to experience their surroundings to the fullest.
They might go by instinct rather than reason. Most of their feelings and desires are so overwhelming that very little can be done to restrain them. Without
proper guidance and understanding, Bharani natives are ready to jump into anything and everything without caution or consideration.
Bharani natives usually have large, expressive eyes, a prominent head, medium sized lips. Their smile is their most distinguishable feature. Head and
Bottom Parts of the Feet are the body parts related to this nakshatra. It is very easy for Bharani natives to move from one action to the next without caring
about the longterm impact. Bharani almost always tries to break the social norms or taboos one way or the other.
Entire Bharini Nakshatra falls in Sign Aries whose ruler is Mars and the ruler of this Nakshatra is Venus. Mars & Venus are the two planets most concerned
with fertility and interplay with the sexes.Nowadays,it has become fashionable to associate men with Mars and women with Venus, but the truth is that it is
the male who creates the sperm (Venus), while it is women who create and house (Mars) the new born. Conjunction of Mars and Venus carries an energy
similar to that of Bharani.
Saturn reaches its maximum debilitation in this nakshatra.Bharani is the warm place of creativity and fertility, while Saturn is a cold planet of obstruction and
delay. It is easy to see how they dont go together. Other planets usually do well in Bharani, as long as Venus has a refined placement in the chart.
Professions :All Bharani natives have a creative urge inside them.Babysitters, Nannies, Nursery School Teachers; All professions involving children.Volcanic
& Earthquake Experts; Geophysicists; Biologists & Microbiologists; Cooks, Caterers, Hoteliers,Seed & Fertilizer Industry. Motor Sports;Film & Entertainment

aim.Sun, Mars & Jupiter are especially strong in this pada.
2nd Pada :The emphasis here is on service and hardwork. Planets here function in an altruistic way. A certain degree of organization is seen even in
typically extreme and chaotic Bharani mode. Mercury, Mars and Rahu are better suited for giving good results here.
3rd Pada : There is however no sense of any limits here when it comes to sex and relationships, which can be either a good thing or a bad thing depending
upon the evolutionary level of a person.Being a pushkara navamsa pada it allows for fulfillment of ones desires. Mercury, Venus & Rahu are best suited for
utilizing the energies of this pada.
4th Pada : It can be a highly inventive and original pada if its explosive energy can be channeled properly. Sun, Mars & Ketu are strong here but may not
always give beneficial results. Only the natural benefics Jupiter and Venus are suited for utilizing the energies of this pada in a wise, non self-destructive
way.
Bharini people are mostly very strong to overcome many turbulence in life.They moan and cry like infants sometimes, but nothing holds them down for too
long. Bharini people undergo huge transformations and radical changes throughout their lives. This is because of the extreme nature of Bharini Nakshatra.
Bharani types are usually enthusiastic and energetic in their approach to life. They have a strong sense of adventure in the fields they pursue. It is seen that
they can only achieve their goals if they are under constant guidance from a more mature and wiser source.
Example: Bharini is one of the most sexual nakshatras of the zodiac. Sigmund Freud, the famous psychoanalyst, had prominent Bharani placements and no
wonder then he reduced every activity of this earth to sexuality.
However the more evolved Bharani types realize that this force of attraction has more to do with love, harmony and conscious unity. Sexuality is just one of
its many expressions.Imelda Marcos, one of the richest women in Asia, has her Moon placed in Bharani. Bharanis tendency to give material extremes is
amplified in her life.
She became well known for her massive shoe collection,whose number ran into thousands.She also had very harsh transformation in life which is another
peculiarity of Bharini.Diva of Pop Medonna, Monica Lewinsky their venus is in Bharini and we all know how they came in lime light using their sex appeal.
Criticism is the word to describe this nakshatra.Krittikas piercing quality is criticizing and fault finding of human nature. Krittika gets to the root of any action
or situation. Krittika doesnt tolerate imperfections.Planets placed in Krittika give one pointed action and fiery bursts of energy. They act in a sudden and
explosive manner. Krittika natives have a direct and straight forward approach and dont like to beat around the bush.
Krittika Nakshatra usually have cutting and blunt manners. One must however remember that Krittika natives are good at putting up social graces and do not
act in a cutting or sharp manner all the time. They do so only when roused. They have an extreme temper, but it does not last for more than a few seconds.
Krittika exemplifies Suns anger rather than Mars anger. Suns anger doesnt last for very long, while Mars anger lingers on with an avenging attitude. The
King (Sun), does not need to stay angry for long to declare war.
Planetary ruler of this Nakshatra is Sun, and Suns rulership indicates the pride, ambition and self motivation in Krittikas character.The first pada is co-ruled
by Mars. The combined energies of the two military planets make it harsh in its approach and functioning. It can ruthlessly conquer any obstacles or enemies
that come in its path.
Sun+Venus, Sun+Mars conjunction or exchange in a horoscope carries energies similar to Krittika. Sun, Mars and Venus usually give strong results here
but as always alot depends on the pada they occupy.
Krittika natives usually hide their caring, nurturing and maternal side beneath hard, stem exteriors. Fire, despite its dangerous and destructive potential,
cooks our food, warms us up on a cold day and helps make most of the things we require for a comfortable living. In Krittika we find that Suns fire makes
life possible on earth. This is the reason why Krittika natives are usually the life-sustaining element within their social sphere. They like to support others
around them through their warmth, independence and will-power. In some cases this may be excessive and the result is similar to overcooked food.

connects it to one type of military pursuit or the other. It is the explorer of the zodiac. Planets here give a lot of will power, strength and stamina. Sun, Mars,
Jupiter and Ketu are especially strong here.
2nd Pada falls in Capricorn Navamsa ruled by Saturn.From this 2nd pada Venus is the co-ruler Sun and Venus are natural enemies thus the Taurus part
of Krittika has more to do with harmonizing rather than having a cutting no nonsense militant approach.This pada also has a strong sense of ethics but its
vision is more material rather than spiritual.The maternal aspect of
Krittikas functioning is at its peak here. Moon reaches its aximum exaltation in this pada. Mars and Saturn also function strongly here. However Mars
placement here has more to do with receiving nourishment rather than providing
3rd Pada falls in Aquarius Navamsa ruled by Saturn. This is also a humanitarian and altruistic pada. It combines futuristic visions.The emphasis here is on
10th house significations like ones collective duty. This pada promotes all types of learning and can thus be called the university of the zodiac. Since no
planet gets debilitated in Aquarius, all planets can function well here relating to their own specific domains.
4th Pada falls in Pisces Navamsa ruled by Jupiter. It promotes groupwork of all types in a joyful, benevolent way. Planets here are more creative under
group situations. This is a Pushkara navamsa pada and so all planets are capable of conferring good results here. Jupiter, Venus and Ketu can make the
fullest use of the energies of this pada, while Mercury is a little out of sorts here.
Example : Eva Braun, the girlfriend of Adolf Hitler, has her 7th lord Mars, placed in Krittika, signifying her partner would be a general.

charisma. They often use their charm and social ease for manipulating situations to suit their own ends.It is very easy for them to gain the trust of others,and
in the present day and age, this is often used to derive some sort of material benefit.
Most people with a prominent Rohini Nakshatra are usually very careful about their health and live up to a ripe old age. In younger souls Rohini can cause a
fear of death and dislike for the ageing process. The mantra of Rohini is to create, create and create. Natives with Rohini connected to the 5th house in

expansive and acquisitive material aspect of Rohini is was too strongly active.
Mrigashira is the most curious amongst all nakshatras that makes one seek new areas of experience. Perhaps the reason is hidden behind the name of this
nakshatra.
Word Mrigashira means Deer head and this nakshatra literally apparent from its name. The association with a deer makes this nakshatra possess all deer
like qualities such as timidity, lightness, fragility, fickleness, wandering
etc.Deers have a constant searching and seeking quality about them, which forms the essence of this nakshatra.This aspect of Mrigashira is very similar to
that of the planet Rahu.Thus this nakshatra is related to all types of defined travel by road, air etc. Deers more often than not like to be in scenic habitats.
Similarly this nakshatra feels comfortable only in scenic surroundings.
Mrigashira falls in both Taurus and Gemini signs,Mrigashira forms a bridge between Taurus and Gemini, and consequently relates to the fusion of Mercurial
and Venusian energies. It is interesting to note that besides Chitra and Dhanishtha, Mrigashira is the only nakshatra, which lies equally divided among two
signs. Mrigashira has thus a strong sense of duality about it as it tries to resolve the conflict between earth and air, two naturally incompatible elements.
Venus relates to the more earthy, Taurus part of this nakshatra, while Mercury relates to the airy Gemini part of this nakshatra.
All the desirable qualities of Mrigashira like its artistic abilities and zest for life, ability to find the true life path or purpose, all come about only when the
energies of Mercury and Venus are properly merged.The gentle aspects of Mrigashira often play major roles in romantic lores which is Venesian quality; as
well Geminis characteristics like their mind is always roaming about, which in many cases takes the form of daydreaming.
They are charming, spontaneous, enthusiastic types who enjoy meeting and relating with people. They are good conversationalists, advisors and enjoy all
vocal activities like talking and singing.Inconstancy, fickleness, changeability, tenderness, persuasiveness, gentleness, sensuality, perceptibility apply to
this Mrigashira nakshatra.
Planetary conjunctions like Mars+Mercury, Mercury+Venus, Mars+Venus and Mars+Mercury+Venus carry energies similar to Mrigashira. The presence of
Mars or Saturn in this nakshatra is usually not auspicious for marital felicity. Both of them however can give good material results in the Taurus part of
Mrigashira. In fact barring Jupiter, all other planets can usually give good material results in the Taurus part.
1st Pada: pada 23 20 26 40 Taurus, falls in Leo navamsa and is ruled by Sun. This pada relates to the fixed and unyielding side of Mrigashira, which
however has the ability to express its experiences through creative and artistic activities.
2nd pada:26 40 30 00 Taurus, falls in Virgo Navamsa ruled by Mercury. This pada represents the discriminatory, calculative, satirical and humorous
side of Mrigashira. The conversational skill and the strong mental ability of Mrigashira is more evident here. The fusion of the planetary energies of Mercury
and Venus takes place here in such a way that the more grounded practical side of Mrigashira is expressed.
3rd pada: 00 00 3 20 Gemini, falls in Libra Navamsa ruled by Venus. This is the first pada of Mrigashira which falls in the sign Gemini. The emphasis
here is on sociability and a penchant for exploring the mental side of all types of relationships. Just like the
previous pada, a fusing of Mercurial and Venusian energies takes place here, but on a whole, this pada is more airy in comparison to the previous pada;
and thus cannot give strong material results.
4th pada: 3 20 6 40 Gemini, falls in Scorpio Navamsa ruled by Mars. This pada relates to the intellectual, argumentative, suspicious, flaky and
whimsical part of this nakshatra. This pada is not as superficial as the previous Libra pada, but tends to over-intellectualize matters, rather than getting to
the root of anything. Most of the negative qualities of Mrigashira find expression through this pada. It can function wisely only in evolved souls.
This seeking quality, however, makes Mrigashira natives good at artistic pursuits of all types. On a higher level, Mrigashira may allow one to find ones life
path or destiny and on a lower level, it
can wandering here and thee like a deer. This is akin to a person in a desert chasing one mirage after the other. This negative quality gives rise to many
other negative traits like fickleness, inconstancy and superficiality. Mrigashira natives often have to learn to stick at a thing until goal is achieved.
Mrigashira natives are often quite whimsical in their approach, Mrigashira craves excitement in all its mild forms and is not prone to go to self-destructive
extremes like cruel nakshatras.
Mrigashira natives often display a highly suspicious nature. This comes about due to their high alertness levels and their ability to sense danger, just like
deer.This suspicious nature is especially troublesome in regards to marital felicity. Like all the nakshatras ruled by Mars, Mrigashira promotes domestic
bickering due to suspicion and an inability to be attentive to their partners needs. Their partners usually get more attached to them than they do.

his Venus which is in Mrigashira so the bled of Martian and Venusian power pushed him to be in a creative filed, a researcher in his line and of course an
unconventional thriller writer & Director.
Freshness is the word to describe Ardra Nakshatra in one word. It is a futuristic nakshatra, which tends to release a person from the decaying past through
a series of stormy events.Best part is that, that storm is always for very short duration, doesnt last for long.If one does not try to cling to the past one can
sail through this phase easily and be rewarded with a fresh start. For example, one feels disappointed when one loses a job, but this might provide a new
opportunity and find success there in.Thats why Ardra is for Renewal.
People with Ascendant in Ardra Nakshatra usually have large faces, curly hair. Eyes have a particular piercing quality about them and the expression, going
red with anger, literally applies to Ardra natives. The mad, absentminded professor is an Ardra character. They have good memory and are quick to respond
to facts and figures. Ardra natives dont usually verify the facts before they speak. Although they may appear calm outside there is usually some raging
storm going on in their heads. Their lives are full of extreme changes and complete turn-arounds.
Change is the ongoing process for Ardra native.People under its influence have a tendency to swing from intense joy to intense sorrow, almost within a
minute.This makes a person under its strong influence to be undergoing constant transformation.In some cases, this process produces good things like
gems of knowledge and in some cases it produces negative things like poisonous thoughts and confusion, indecisiveness.
Ardra is pretty much as curious as Mrigashira, the only difference is that Ardra likes to know the cause behind the effect, while Mrigashira is mostly content
with observing and enjoying the effect.Getting to the root of the matter is very important to this nakshatra. Ardra is therefore directly connected to ones
depth of perception. This is probably the reason why all people born under its influence have research orientated and probing intellects.
Even 7 years old children like to observe and understand people around them. There is a constant need for balancing the mental and emotional impulses in
this nakshatra.
Even though Rahu is the main planetary ruler of Ardra, it can be seen as a combination of the energies of Mercury and Rahu.Ardra is the birthplace of
Rahus mysterious energy.This Era of
Communication Boom(information technology) is one practical example of Rahus mercurial Energy thats Ardra.

The mission can take place on any plane mental, physical, emotional, astral or causal. Punarvasu, the root of Jupitarian energy carrying all the desirable
qualities like goodness, strength, prosperity etc.From all these we can understand Punarvasu has a lot to do with any kind of motion, movement and
searching.
Those with Punarvasu rising on the Ascendant are usually of short to middle stature, have a serene and benevolent expression (especially the part which
lies in Cancer). The words quiet, patient, devout, temperance, contrary views, adaptability, self-understanding and nobility sum up Punarvasu natives
essential nature and functioning. Punarvasus generosity is conditional and works on the principle of give and take. Punarvasu natives usually lack the
strong mental capacity of Ardra and have a much simpler approach to life. They lack foresight, a negative quality which gets them into complications, but
they are always lucky to get out of them easily.Having Ascendant lord placed in Punarvasu would rule out any serious disease, accidents, bodily
malfunctions etc. On a whole, Punarvasu natives usually lead comfortable lives filled with intermittent periods of adventure and upheaval.Fingers and Nose
are the body parts related to this nakshatra.
Planetary Ruler : Jupiter is the main planetary ruler of this nakshatra. Since this nakshatra falls in the signs of Mercury and Moon, both these planets are
also associated with this nakshatra. Mercury relates to the communicating and movable aspect of this nakshatra, while Moon relates to its nurturing,
mothering quality.Conjunctions like Jupiter/Moon, Jupiter/Mercury and Jupiter/Moon/Mercury carry an energy similar to that of Punarvasu. All planets do well
in this nakshatra, especially if Jupiter is well placed in the horoscope.

Punarvasu. Focus here is on friendships, goals and group work.
2nd pada 23 20 26 40 Gemini- falls in Taurus Navamsa ruled by Venus. This pada relates to the materialistic, earthy and fixed aspect of Punarvasu. It
is connected with hotels, restaurants, tourism, import and export industry.
3rd Pada 26 40 30 00 Gemini- falls in Gemini Navamsa ruled by Mercury. The focus here is on mental activities, imagination and science. Since this is
a Vargottama pada, planets placed here give strong results, especially in the mental/intellectual realm.
4th Pada 00 00 3 20 Cancer- falls in Cancer Navamsa ruled by Moon. This pada is considered to be one of the strongest and most beneficent parts of
the whole zodiac. Planets placed here are Vargottama and Pushkara Navamsa both. This is a maternal, nurturing and expansive pada, which brings out the
mothering quality of Punarvasu to the fullest, Jupiter finds its maximum exaltation here.
The inherent calm of this Punarvasu nakshatra makes a person,contented people, who get satisfied easily. They believe in living a simple, spiritual life and
strive hard to get rid of any negative energies, feelings or thoughts, which may obstruct their evolutionary process.
Punarvasu is related to all kinds of spiritual practices,self understanding and enlightenment. The interplay of mental and emotional gives rise to a very active,
profound and inspired imagination. Punarvasu natives thus excel in arts like poetry and writing.
One strange quality of Punarvasu is that everything happens in their life in two stages.They almost always tend to fail or not get far in their first attempt at
any pursuit, but the funny part is that they almost always succeed if they try a second time. This relates to the natures of the two stars, which make up the
constellation of Punarvasu. However in its negative aspect, it can fail to commence the journey of fulfilling ones life purpose through procrastination,
excessive idealism or pure laziness.
Cause of Punarvasus close association with 3rd sign Gemini and its lord Merciry all of Punarvasus generosity and kindness lie within the framework of
reasonability. In todays world one has to be reasonable with ones generosity as people are bound to take undue advantage of you. Thats the reason
Mercury gave Punarvasu a traders mentality, which accounts for the fact that Punarvasu natives rarely make any loss or get their hands burnt. Punarvasu is
supposed to be the safest among nakshatras.

Jupiter gets exalted in Pushya giving the person a strong sense of ethics. They like to do the right thing and abide by accepted standards and laws. They
are shining examples of hospitality, decency, courtesy, etiquette and are not likely to behave in any vulgar or extreme manner. However, in its negative
aspect, Pushya can make one lethargic, needy, dependent and prone to addictions due to a lack of will power. If afflicted, Pushya natives tend to get
victimized easily.It is interesting to note that Jupiter relays all of its good qualities much more through Pushya nakshatra in comparison to its own
nakshatras.
Appearance wise Pushya people are having fleshy features, prominent chest/breasts, round faces and luminous lustre. Natives under its influence put on fat
easily.They have a liking for good food, comfort and social enjoyment.Being the nakshatra ruled by Saturn it is very aware of the proper utilization of the time
principle to achieve its productive,creative and nurturing objectives. Natives here are highly productive and work patiently towards their goals. However, when
occupied by afflicted planets, then it gives indecisive mind, most of their actions are half hearted. They seldom respect others but expect others to respect
them. They fell for flattery and get easily irked by adverse criticism. It can promote laziness, and paralyzing idealism.

conformity is the downside of this pada. Moon, Mercury, Venus and Saturn do well here.

the celestial beings in the other world. It is the pada of mantras and rituals.Only unafflicted Jupiter and Venus do well in this pada.
The planetary influences affecting this nakshatra are Moon and Saturn. Saturn is its main planetary ruler.The association of Saturn with Pushya reveals the
hidden side of Saturns functioning its ability for grounded nurturing and painstaking care. Saturn nurtures through conservation,perseverance and
limitations. Moon represents emotions and Saturn represents stability and so the keyword here is emotional stability. Person born in this Pushya Nakshatra
usually face the adversities arising out of poverty up to 15 years of their early life. However after the 33rd year of their life, things drastically change towards
all-round positive development.
Saturn is a mass planner and so is Moon, a fact which makes Pushya the most mass-orientated of nakshatras. On a positive level, both Moon and Saturn
promote the mindset and values which help foster an idealized civilized society.
Moon/Satum/Jupiter conjunction in a horoscope carry energies similar to Pushya. A well placed Moon, Jupiter, Sun, Venus and Saturn give excellent results
when placed in Pushya. Mercury, Mars and the nodes do not give good results in this nakshatra.

example.
Ashlesha has a lot to do with genetic heritage, the karma we have brought from previous lives and the scope of changes we are allowed to make in the
present life. Ashlesha is perhaps the most difficult of all nakshatra energies to handle and channel correctly, especially in the present day and age. Even the
ancient sages and scholars had very few kind words to say in relation to this nakshatra.
Secretive, creepy, cold blooded deceptive,hypnotic and poisonous. All these qualities find their way into Ashleshas functioning. On the positive side, have
primordial powers of insight, intuition, perception, wisdom, concentration.In the present times when the worst side of everything is on display, one can
usually expect mostly the negative qualities to predominate.
If your Ascendant is in Ashlesha, that may give you a squarish face; parallel, straight, wide, thin lips; beady small eyes; a naturally suspicious look and a
pale complexion. Despite lacking facial attractiveness, people born under this nakshatra generally have sexually appealing bodies.They are very conscious of
how they move and how their movement arouses sexual passion in others.
Their good manner doesnt last for long, once their objective is achieved, they are immediately cold and ruthless. They are always scheming and plotting
when it comes to climbing the social ladder.
Worry and caution follow them relentlessly. On a positive level, their suspicious natures make them good observers.This power of observation is often
combined with a natural intuition. However Ashleshas intuitive and psychic capabilities tend to function,best in situations where an element of danger is
there. Natives can sense danger quickly and react quickly. On a negative level, their suspicion can turn into paranoia. In its extreme state, paranoia can
become an illness. Paranoid schizophrenia is a disease whose roots lie in Ashlesha.
Ashlesha natives can aid others in psychological exploration and understanding, but they also have a tendency to use their psychological perceptiveness to
exploit others. It is due to this inherent mistrust that Ashlesha natives tend to remain hidden in regards to their true thoughts and feelings. They do not form
intimate bonds with others and will mistrust their most closest families.They are however highly protective towards their kith and kin and will ward off
suspicious intruders in the most ruthless manner.
Ashlesha natives can be the most mean and stingy in regards to financial affairs. Their miserliness never helps them in the end as they always end up
having losses one way or the other. The presence of Ashlesha in a nativity works both ways; one deceives others and gets deceived by others. Many
Ashlesha natives are victims, rather than the users, especially natives who have planets like Sun and Jupiter placed in Ashlesha. In the present day and age
where all the workingsof the elite take place in secret away from the eyes of the public, one cannot help but observe dominant role of Ashlesha in the halls
of power.
1st Pada: 16 40 20 00 Cancer falls in Sagittarius Navamsa and is ruled by Jupiter. This pada has he ability to put in the most hard work. It has a lot to
do with dealing enmity, diseases and
other 6th house affairs.
2nd Pada: 20 00 23 20 Cancer falls in Capricorn Navamsa ruled by Saturn. This pada is mostly involved in dealing with people. It is a highly ambitious
pada which is usually liable to use all of Ashleshas negative traits like trickery and deceit to get what it wants. An inability to let go of possessions is another
unique aspect of this pada.
3rd Pada: 23 20 26 40 Cancer falls in Aquarius Navamsa ruled by Saturn. Secrecy is the keyword to this pada. It however is most closely related to the
occult side of Ashlesha.This pada usually goes to unusual lengths,takes highly inventive approaches to scheming and plotting. Planets placed here
adversely effects mothers wellbeing.
4th Pada 26 40 30 00 Cancer falls in Pisces Navamsa ruled by Jupiter. This is the pada relating to all kinds of illusions. The moral struggle is at its
peak here.People under the strong
influence of this pada, are more likely to get tricked by others, rather than deceive others. Such natives are always putting up fronts and hardly ever show
their true nature. Planets placed here
adversely effect the fathers well-being.
Rulership: Moon and Mercury are the two planets connected with this nakshatra, Mercury being the main planetary ruler. Mostly the negative Mercurial traits
like evasiveness, deception and deviousness get highlighted in this nakshatra.But the actual functioning of Mercury here is to control the mind (represented
by the Moon).Ashlesha is supposed to be the place where intellect develops itself to control and direct the instinctual workings of the mind. In todays world,
Mercurys ability to direct Moon is used for deceiving the masses (Moon) through the media (Mercury). This negative usage of Mercurial energy makes this
one of the most dangerous nakshatras in Kaii-Yuga (present age/cycle of humanity). Ashlesha is the battleground where the war between intellect and
emotions, conscious and subconscious.
Moon/Mercury conjunction in a horoscope give similar results to Ashlesha. Ketu is supposed to give good results in Ashlesha when aspected by Jupiter. No
other planet can be said to function well in this nakshatra. A well placed Mercury however, can make the native a shrewd and manipulative businessman.

Example : Indira Gandhi, the first and only woman prime minister of India, was born with Ashlesha rising on her Ascendant. Her extremely manipulative and
deceptive nature is now common knowledge, especially in India. Her life and works reveal all of Ashleshas functioning in modern times.
Achievement is the key word which describes Magha nakshatra well. Magha, the brightest and largest amongst nakshatrasMagha bestows reward under its
influence through power, position, authority; and in higher aspect, through self knowledge. Magha is the first nakshatra which relates to the individualization
process. It represents all that we mean when we say I. In many cases Magha can bestow all of this as a result purely through hereditary.
It is Maghas job to shape the present using the past. Wherever this nakshatra is placed in a chart one will experience the positive effects of ones past
karmas. This may manifest as opportunities or favour from those in high positions. These favours are very sudden and based on impulse from those who
bestow them.
Its fierceness corresponds to the fierce aspect of Ketu. This is very much a worldly nakshatra which is interested in human affairs. Ketu is known to us as a
separative planet which disassociates one from worldly ties, but through Magha Nakshatra it promotes involvement in mundane affairs for discharging ones
worldly duties. It brings out the materially active side of Ketu which is very concerned about social status, prominence. This is why its pitfall lies in making
one over ambitious in ones material pursuits.Ketu is also a naturally rebellious planet so Magha is directly related to all types of revolts against authority.
Person with Magha rising or strong Magha influence are easy to spot because of their big noses Magha people have middle stature and lion-like top heavy
bodies.Following a moral and ethical code is important for their inner peace of mind. Magha natives usually have a strong concern for the continuation of
their family lineage through progeny.
Rulership : Ketu is the main planetary ruler of Magha. The entire Magha nakshatra falls in sign Leo where Sun is the lord.So Sun and Ketu are two planets
related to Magha.One of Ketus main symbols is a Flag, which directly relates to authority, eminence, fame etc. This favoured position in the present life is
earned due to meritorious past life deeds.This asterism can be seen as a combination of Suns and Ketus energies.Ketu as I have mentioned above, is a
genetic planet and represents the paternal grandfather and maternal grandmother in a chart. Our connection with our ancestors has a lot to do with our I
past lives which is again a Ketu domain. To sum it up, Magha has a lot to do with the genetic and past heritage aspect of Ketu.
Sun-Ketu conjunction in a nativity carries an energy similar to that of Magha. Fiery royal planets like Sun & Mars usually do well in Magha. Servant planets
like Saturn however feel at sea in this nakshatra.

4th Pada 10 00 -13 20 Leo, falls in Cancer Navamsa ruled by Moon, This is the pada which brings out Maghas love of ritual, ceremonies, ancestor
worship and family pride. Planets placed in this pada make one derive pride from ones family, ancestors. Planets here are not very conductive to material
prosperity and create heavals through some form of self undoing.

in Magha. His life and works as recollected in his book, Autobiography of a Yogi, reveal a lot. relating to the lineage oriented functioning of Magha.
Purva Phalguni Nakshatra Pada 1 to 4
Comfort is the keyword for this nakshatra Puva Phalguni. Purva Phalguni relates to a time where we look for rest,relaxation and amusement after fulfilling
our worldly duties and responsibilities. Purva Phalguni is thus strongly related with the forces of renewal, which ultimately link it to the process of creation
itself.However one must be careful not to amplify the Purva Phalguni energy, which usually results in excessive laziness and indulgence.
The sense of self absorption reaches a peak in P. Phalguni the concerns here are me, myself and I.The fact that it falls in the middle of dramatic sign Leo,
further encourages this tendency, making it the most dramatic theatrical amongst the nakshatras. Purva Phalguni natives have a strong desire to be noticed
for what they are and what they do. This is the reason why a lot of Purva Phalguni natives fall prey to pretentious behavior and attitudes. Learning anything,
especially new things, becomes very hard for such natives as they dont want to look beyond their own little world, no matter how superficial it might be. It
seems word like Vanity & Pompousness was invented to describe P.Phalguni Nakshatra well. Despite its self-indulgent eccentricity, Purva Phalguni is a
social nakshatra.
It must be remembered that Purva Phalguni is a naturally cruel nakshatra and therefore natives under its strong influence can be expected to be capable of
carrying out ruthless acts. Purva Phalgunis cruelty usually comes out when its rest, relaxation or amusement is disturbed by anyone or anything. People
under its influence gets easily hurt and get extremely vindictive over small issues. This is especially the case if they dont get the requisite amount of
attention from others which they think they deserve in their own minds Purva Phalguni Nakshatra is very related to regeneration or the power to procreate.Its
objective is creation of a family.
1st Pada : 13 20 16 40 Leo falls in Leo Navamsa ruled by Sun. The emphasis here is on just I, I & more I. Dignity and Regality are the keywords
here. Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Ketu can function strongly here and give some sort of executive ability.
2nd Pada : 16 40 20 00 Leo falls in Virgo Navamsa ruled by Mercury. This is the most sober and hard working amongst all of these naturally pompous
and lazy padas. The emphasis here is on trade and enterprise. A well placed Mercury here can give good common sense and heavy gains through trade.
3rd Pada : 20 00 23 20 Leo fails in Libra Navamsa ruled by Venus. This pada brings out the indulgent as well as creative Venusian aspect of Purva
Phalguni. The emphasis here is on travel, harmony, relaxation,refinement, counselling, creation and appreciation of beauty. Since this is the Pushkar
Navamsha pada most planets except Sun give good results here. Venus is especially strong in this pada.
4th Pada : 23 20 26 40 Leo falls in Scorpio Navamsa ruled by Mars. Passions are very strong here and all things in life are approached with a martian
spirit. Planets here usually give rise to a lot of unnecessary strife and Complexity. Only a well placed Sun and Jupiter are capable of utilizing this padas
inner positive fashion.
Rulership : Sun and Venus are the two planets related to this nakshatra, Venus being its main planetary ruler. Venuss involvement with this nakshatra is
giving ability for procreation. Venus relates to the force which produces attraction between the opposite sexes and the main focus of Purva Phalguni centers
around this attraction. Purva Phalguni is a battleground for the conflict between ego, love and harmony. The fact that Sun and Venus are natural enemies
makes Purva Phalguni a volatile and turbulent nakshatra. The decision to be made here is how much of the self should be sacrificed in order for love and
harmony to find their rightful place. Creativity is the only common meeting point between Sun and Venus. This is the reason why Purva Phalguni is able to
be creative and constructive.
Sun/Venus conjunction or exchange in a horoscope carries energies similar to Purva Phalguni. Sun, Mars and Venus usually give strong results here but as
always a lot depends on the pada they occupy.
Body parts : The Sex Organs, the Lips and the Right Hand are the body parts related to this nakshatra.
Example : Madonna, the Diva of Pop, has her Moon and Ascendant in this nakshatra. Even though the creative side of this nakshatra is expressed through
her music and showmanship, she has profited from utilizing the sexual aspect of this nakshatra.
Individuality is the key word for Uttar Phalguni Nakshatra. Uttar Phalguni shares similar name, symbolism, nature and quality with Purva Phalguni although
there is a light differences. Uttara phalguni is less comfort- oriented in comparison to its counterpart Purva phalguni.
It relates to someone lying on a couch talking, thinking,or involved in some kind of activity like writing, reading, sexual etc. Utter phalguni can thus be seen
as a productive rather than a purely recreational, enjoyment orientated and indulgent energy.
Sun is the only Planet which generates its own light. This makes it the most independent among the planets.This independence forms a part of its nature
and can be witnessed in Uttara phalguni. This independence relates to establishing ones own individuality rather than being part of the flock. A lot of us tend
to imitate others instead of developing our own creativity, thoughts and opinions. Uttara phalguni natives are always seen trying to rise above the sea of
mass consciousness.They are not the types to change their individuality just to stay in sync with whatever is happening. Uttara phalguni is aiso a teacher
and preacher at heart.
Most of the warlike qualities such as anger, valour, aggression, fearlessness, urge to conquer and competitive spirit are commonly shared by Sun and Uttara
phalguni. However Uttara phalguni, unlike Suns other nakshatra Krittika, has a more forgiving attitude and is always more interested in upholding harmony
and honor rather than the final victory. It is gentle but firm.
Uttara phalguni rising makes one generous and kind and a good friend towards others. It gives one a noble reputation and makes one skillful at their work.
Popularity is due to the natives reliable and helpful nature. Physical outlook of a person especially born in Leo part of Uttara phalguni cant be mostly like
Sun having honey colored eyes,square body, sturdy bones and sparse curly hair, majestic appearance and not very tall. Person will be having courageous
and steady look, with coppery reddish or golden complexion.

Sun/Mercury/Jupiter conjunction. Out here the intellectual abilities are always utilized for seeing the bigger picture and relating to others. A balance between
the small and the big, matter and spirit, Virgo and Pisces is sought here. Since this is a Pushkara navamsa pada, planets placed here give strong, favorable

Rulership : Mercury is associated with Uttara phalguni, due to the fact that a major part of Uttara phalguni lies in Virgo, a sign ruled by Mercury. Uttara
phalguni is all about the linking between soul and intellect. Under this nakshatras influence, the solar energy is directed towards actual practical work Just
as all living life on our planet is dependent upon Suns rays, all society and civilization is dependent upon the guidance of this nakshatra Uttar Phalguni.
Uttara phalguni, like Sun, is straightforward and unhesitating in its dealings. Like Sun,Uttara phalguni is ready to serve but only from a position of superiority.
There is a certain degree of asceticism inherent in Uttara phalgunis nature.
Sun/Mercury conjunction in a horoscope carries energies similar to Uttara phalguni. Friends of Sun like Moon, Mercury, Mars & Jupiter do well here, while
Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu feel obstructed here, especially Venus, due to its in debilitation in the Virgo part of this nakshatra.
Professions : Uttara phalguni is highly flexible in regards to professions and can be seen in a variety of professions as long as it is in a commanding
position.Creative Artists, Musicians, Entertainers, Superstars & Male Sex Symbols, Managers, Leaders of all types & Public Figures like Sport Superstars;

Figures,Social Workers, Professional Advisors in all fields.
Body Parts : Lips, Sex Organs and the Left Hand are the body parts related to this nakshatra.
Direction : The two directions it relates to most strongly are east and south.
Example : George Washington, one of the founding fathers of America, was born with Uttara phalguni rising on his ascendant. It is interesting to note that
he fashioned the capital city of Washington (bearing his name) on the sign Virgo. We can assume that its foundation stone must have been laid with Uttara
phalguni rising for it to become the center of world power and have the permanence it has had.
Laughter is the root word for Hasta Nakshatra, which has the symbol of Hand so its main emphasize is on all sort of activities related to hand, in that even
trickery, deceit, pick pocket comes.Hasta Nakshatra gets closely associated with the cooperation in order to achieve the goal.That doesn't mean friendship at
all as Hasta people are lacking in trust. So modern way of handshaking is also an act of Hasta where there is any friendship or not, trust or not still we keep
doing it like Hasta activity.
Hasta people are obsessed with time keeping, punctuality, repetition and other such robotic traits usually associated with the sign Virgo. Hasta people are
shy, timid, passive, never really raise their voice against injustice; can do same work again and again till the last breath of their life. It is a Light and Swift
nakshatra. This classification can be easily derived from its humorous, light hearted nature. Hasta is associated with quickness in thought and action.

Rulership : The main planetary influences affecting this nakshatra are Moon and Mercury. Moon is the main ruling planet of Hasta. Moon imparts emotions,
care and sensitivity to this nakshatra. However unlike Cancer, the lunar nature here is under supervision of Mercury, the planet of discrimination. Mercurys
influence makes Hasta jovial and light hearted thus saving it from the type of depression people with prominent Cancer placements go through.
Ashlesha and Hasta are the only two nakshatras where the energies of Moon and Mercury combine, the only difference being that Moon is the king in
Ashlesha, while Mercury has the final say in Hasta. This means that intellect rules over the mind in Hasta, which is obviously the way universe prefers it. It is
Mercury which guides the Moon while it is Moon which nurtures Mercury. Hasta is all about this interplay between Moon and Mercury.
Example : Walt Disney the of Disney Studios workshops that produced famous childrens films later on all animation films has Moon in Hasta. He created
uncounted cartoons animation frames all by his hands so rapidly.
Glittering,Brilliant,Bright all are the key words that Chitra Nakshatra conveys. In a way this nakshatra conveys more of its inherent qualities through its name
than any other asterism.
Its alternative symbol is a pearl. Pearls are formed in an oysters moments of irritation, the same way art comes out of the artists moments of irritation and
depression. Chitra is thus related to the mysterious essence behind creativity, using its clear understanding of the laws of the universe. It has the ability to
fashion new, wonderful and delightful things out of seemingly nothing at all.
None can surpass Chitra as far as arts, crafts, design, architecture, beauty and proportion are concerned. Chitra is the grand illusion maker creating
delightful things, forms and objects, which make us want to live. The essence of Chitra is create, create and create. Chitra is a dynamic, energetic
nakshatra which has very little ability to sit idle. It likes to get involve in one creative activity or another. When their creativity is in harmony with the humanity
or cause for well being of humanity, then all goes well for Chitra born people. However when this is not the case, Chitra natives can become unbalanced,
selfish, indulgent creatures.
Chitra natives are obsessed with appearance complexity, structure and form. Therefore this nakshatra has connection with maya, illusion, and glamour.
Chitra approaches things from an architectural, aesthetic point of view. There are different levels of maya. It is due to this aspect that natives influenced by
this nakshatra never reveal themselves in social situations. They are always projecting a front of some kind. Usually this is a dignified front with a hidden
quality.
Chitras love for understanding how things work and how all the parts fit together, generally place natives under its influence in scientific, technological and
artistic fields. Japanese as a race are governed by this nakshatra, which can easily be seen in their technological obsession and their attention to detail.
Chitra loves to create magic.
Chitra natives have a very strong ability to attract the opposite sex. They are usually passionate but also have the ability to fake passions when the situation
demands it. They hold themselves with a certain degree of dignity which covers up their weaknesses. Chitra natives always make a special effort to come
across as completely together type of individuals.
1st Pada 23 20 26 40 Virgo, falls in Leo Navamsa ruled by Sun. On a lower level, the emphasis here is on personal glamour, while on a higher level
this pada strives for self perfection. This pada has a very strong ability to keep secrets, just like the sphinx hides deep esoteric knowledge until humanity is
ready for them. Planets here function in a very hidden non-apparent way. Sun, Mars, Mercury and Rahu are especially strong here.
2nd Pada 26 40 30 00 Virgo falls in Virgo Navamsa ruled by Mercury. This is a very disciplined pada which likes to conclude whatever it begins.
Saturn, Mercury and Rahu are strong here, although Saturn may make one excessively puritanical if working through its lower aspect.

through manipulating its social circle. On a higher level it likes to promote love and harmony, especially in relationships. Planets here like to flaunt and
dazzle. Mercury, Venus & Saturn are especially strong in this pada.
4th Pada 3 20 6 40 Libra falls in Scorpio Navamsa ruled by Mars. This pada relates to the magical and mysterious side of Chitra. More passion and
secrecy is in display than what is usually associated with the sign Libra. Despite its non-acquisitive nature, planets here usually bring smooth sailing in
regards to material affairs. Venus, Saturn, Rahu & Ketu give strong results here.
Rulership : Mars is the main planetary ruler of this nakshatra. Mars is the energy required to put up things the way we want them to. Mars is the
powerhouse which runs Chitras factory. Secondary ruler of this Nakshatra Venus is often regarded as opposite of Mars. Together they are responsible for

detailed working of things. The Libra part of Chitra is more relationship oriented, Chitra loves admiration and is motivated by that in whatever it does,

overtly indulgent and function without any regard for morals. Law, sex and money

in writing, communications and promotes all kinds of travel. All planets give reasonably favorable results in this pada because of its open minded nature.
2nd pada 10 00 -13 20 Libra falls in Capricorn Navamsa and is ruled by Saturn. This pada has the material aspect of Swatis functioning. It is the most
rooted among the four padas and thus to an extent lacks Swatis inherent fragility. It can be deemed as selfish when it comes to personal comforts and other
forms of materiality. Planets here give a sound business sense.

Planetary Ruler : Rahu is the primary ruler of this Nakshatra and its airy qualities are relayed through it. Since Swati falls completely in the sign of Libra,
Venus has a strong connection with this asterism. The Rahu-Venus influence together is a highly indulgent combination, which gives a strong urge for
comfort and luxury. A love of show and pomp is seen when Rahu is functioning through its lower aspect. Swati natives often appreciate the finer things in life
and uphold a certain degree of sophistication in their dress, mannerisms and tastes. Swati falls in the cardinal, achievement-oriented sign of Libra. Thus
those with prominent Swati in their charts are late bloomers and have a stronger second half of life as compared to the first half.
The primarily materialistic energy of Rahu and Venus combined gives Swati natives success in Venusian business pursuits. In its negative aspect, natives
under the heavy influence of this nakshatra can become a slave to their desires and are guided by greed and deceit to gain their ends. Rahu has a
diplomatic nature, which is very similar to that of Venus. Rahu, like Venus, is by nature a social planet and enjoys company. Swati in this regard, can be the
most pretentious among the nakshatras. in any horoscope when it is either associated with Venus in a nativity, or is placed in the 2nd or 7th, or is posited in
the signs Taurus/Libra It gives unorthodox approach. In its higher aspect, Swati natives express higher Venusian qualities like diplomacy, compassion and a
thirst for knowledge.

energies of this nakshatra. Jupiter and Moon are neutral and give results according to other factors in a nativity.

usually functions as an obsessive, goal-oriented nakshatra with complete disregard for the nature of the means employed to achieve the desired end.
Vishakha has a lot to do with marriage. Most of Vishakha lies in the sign governing marriage Libra. Despite its association with celebrations, Vishakha
cannot be seen as a pleasant nakshatra. When striving towards a goal becomes the only objective in life, one is likely to have little peace of mind and will
definitely miss the true essence of life. This is a primary theme of Vishakha, pursuing unwholesome goals in questionable ways and creating bad karma as a
result. This sense of emptiness is a continuous feature throughout the lives of Vishakha natives. Fire is never satiated no matter how much or how long it
consumes. They are always concerned about what they dont have, rather than making use of what they have.
Vishakha is one of the most active nakshatras because of its obsessive approach to things. After attaining its desired goal, it sets itself another goal and so
on and so on. its activity is ceaseless. This is probably the reason why a lot of Vishakha types cannot give a reason for some of the bad things they have
done. It is as if some external force grips them and makes them act thoughtlessly without reflection.
There is a certain jubilation aspect to Vishakha natives which shows itself in love of pomp and ceremony. Very often those among Vishakhas who choose
the path of the senses end up becoming mad party types. Vishakha natives easily fell prey to excesses in regards to sex and alcohol. They are the ones
who have an overwhelming need to flock to the local bar.

Saturn can be counted on for giving good results in this pada.

the emotional plane, making this a highly volatile, transformative and dangerous part of the zodiac In its lowest aspect, it is highly vindictive and revengeful
and embodies most of the despicable, human qualities. Only a well placed Jupiter can give the wisdom to navigate through the stormy waters of this pada.

Planetary Rulership : Venus, Mars, Pluto, Ketu and Jupiter are the three planetary influences connected to Vishakha. Jupiter is the main ruler of this
asterism, while Venus, Mars, Pluto and Ketu rule the respective signs that Vishakha occupies.
Venus, Jupiters counterpart and adversary, is connected with the first three padas of Vishakha. It is the natural antagonism between the energies of these
two planets which makes Vishakha a turbulent nakshatra. Pluto/Ketu influence in the Scorpio part of Vishakha lends a great deal of impulsiveness,
explosive drama and self destructiveness. Only when channeled into more occult areas can this energy act as a medium for transformation.
Venus-Jupiter, Venus-Mars, Venus-Mars-Ketu, Jupiter-Mars and Jupiter-Mars-Ketu-Venus conjunctions carry energy similar to Vishakha Nakshatra. only
Jupiter functions well in this nakshatra in the present day and age.
Example : Hermann Goering, has his Moon in Vishakha. Nothing much needs to be said about a man who was one of the main forces behind the fanatical
Nazi movement. His life brings out the obsessive maniac streak of Vishakha.
Exploration is the key word for Anuradha, However this exploration, they never execute alone, but a joyous, communal combination of people and energies.
The qualities of purity, auspiciousness, knowledge and enlightenment have been associated with this Anuradha Nakshatra. Thats why lotus is another
symbol ascribed by sages to this nakshatra. Since A lotus has the ability to grow in muddy waters. This represents the ability of this nakshatra to keep itself
pure and satvic in any surroundings.
Anuradha natives are usually seen making special effort to put people at ease and love to act as a bridge between people, groups and organizations. They
are very interested in anything to do with the occult and hidden issues in general.
Anuradha Nakshatra fosters communication between all the extremes the young and the old; the mature and immature; the more evolved and the less
evolved; the different races, castes etc. Anuradha can thus be seen as a universal solvent. Most of Anuradhas tendencies put it outside the orthodox, social
gambit. In a way, Anuradha is the nakshatra of the revolutionaries, who rebel against outdated ways of thinking. In the present times, Anuradha is one of
the nakshatras which has the ability to see through the reality behind all the fake media propaganda on social, economic and political levels. Anuradha falls
prey to excessive openness and friendships.
Natives with strong influence of Anuradha on their ascendant are born with stout hairy bodies. They have prominent chest and thighs and have a tendency
to develop a belly with age. Their face conveys a sense of friendliness and well-being. Friendliness with aloofness is their special gift. The logic oriented
approach of this nakshatra accounts for the fact that many Anuradha natives are great in mathematics and physics. A lot of Anuradha natives have a strong
interest either in occult or mundane numerology or statistics. Anuradha always tries to broaden its horizons In relation to its area of interest.
It is also a goal centered nakshatra as its previous nakshatra Vishakha, but its goals are usually more in tune with universal plan. It likes to attain its goal
through group work rather than going it alone. This is probably the reason why Anuradha attains its goals more smoothly and effortlessly, in comparison to
Vishakha. Vishakha is often reluctant to take help or cooperate with allies.
Since Anuradha is so concerned with learning and accumulation of knowledge, thats why Saraswati, the goddess of learning, can be said to be strongly
connected to this nakshatra. This is the only way one can explain the musical prowess of this nakshatra.
Curiosity makes them travel a lot, especially to foreign lands. They have quite an easy time relating to and adjusting to foreign environments in comparison
to other nakshatras. In fact, living in foreign lands is usually very satisfying and fruitful for them.

realms of existence. Mars provides the initiative, impulse and energy necessary for any exploration. Pluto expands the conscious and sub-conscious
boundaries allowing Anuradha to tap into collective rather than personal concerns.

Chief is the key word to describe Jyeshtha Nakshatra in one word. Magha to Jyeshtha the entire series is mostly related to worldly activities and materialistic
approach. This is Jyestha, the respected Elder. Of all 27 Nakshatra. For Jyeshtha people keeping up image is everything in their life.
Those born under Jyestha seek to be the best the highest but on their own, by their own effort, as individuals, not by relying on others. They often do their
best when left alone.
I know better than you. This one is the self-appointed authority. Jyeshtha claims to receive direction from the Divine. Jyestha is the most likely or the most
tempted to misuse ones power to control others. The Jyestha native faces lifelong potential for self-deception. The stereotypical mob leaders, corrupt and
unwise politicians, bureaucrats and managers are all Jyeshta characters.

mentally. They have well-proportioned bodies but are not able to hold onto their youth for long. Their upper body is usually stronger than their lower body.
The people born under this star are not very clear about the profession they want to pursue for life, and hence keep on changing jobs or the lines of
business often. They can be involved in religious practices while simultaneously entrenched in materialistic pursuits.
Jyeshtha born natives are very much open in their behavior where secrecy or mystery doesnt exist in their dictionary at all. As its the combination of Mars-
Mercury power, so Jyeshtha people are usually hot tempered, obstinate to some extent, rash in their attitude, doesnt really care to receive advice from
others. Jyeshtha people gives lots of value to Principles in their life. Though they always want to go with the ethical side keeping the principle straight and
clean, still they keep messing up with situation cause of their hot headedness. Jyeshtha natives are always keen on showing kindness to people and doing
charity.
Apart from being hard working, principle oriented and positive Jyeshtha people are always ready to take extra responsibility on their shoulder. They will cross
all their limits to provide helping hand and supportive protection to weak and needy people. Most of the Jyeshtha people have excessive inclination towards
materialism, unwilling to compromise. They are dictator at times. Their over protectiveness and possessiveness at times become their greatest negative
traits.

Regret is the key word for all the Mula Nakshatra natives. Mula is a very powerful nakshatra and as the name suggests the root of anything, Mula Nakshatra
people love to go deeper and deeper regarding anything in short to the root level of anything in their life. It is a magical nakshatra helps those in need in
sudden magical ways.
Mula is the Most Deadly Nakshatra No. Mula is self-destructive but not deadly. Moon in Mula is more self-destructive than any other planet in Mula. Only
when its will is in tune with the Universal will, Mula functions in a wise Jupiterian way. So we can conclude that this is not a very pleasant Nakshatra.
However, everything is not doom and gloom with this nakshatra. After all, it lies in the luckiest among the signs Sagittarius, which in turn is ruled by the
greatest benefic Jupiter.
Mula Nakshatra helps one put together in a meaningful way of ones talents, which have developed in past lives.
In Astrology we mostly talk about Will Power, Mula is the only Nakshatra which is capable of using the maximum will power in life. Mula Nakshatra people
love to go deep and deep of anything till its origin.It is very hard to stop Mulas approach or even on a negative side its self destructive actions until they are
not utilizing their will power.
Mostly people think Mula Nakshatra is only good for spiritual activity and has no linkup with the materialistic plane. Mula gives worldly status, prosperity etc.
The only thing is that it usually takes it all away from the native at some point.
Mula doesnt mean lots of mis-happenings and accidental issues in life. Mula is associated with dangerous burns, drowning, choking, violent accidents,
broken bones. These are the things we can neglect by taking precautions. Yet, the Mula native generally will not die from even the most catastrophic
accident. Indeed, Mula tends to be long-lived.
Natives with Mula in ascendant have prominent noses, ears and thick lower lips. They cant be tagged as attractive in the general even though they have a
peculiar magnetism, especially in the case of highly evolved souls. It is usually quite easy to spot Mula types in a crowd. They usually display one form of
arrogance or other in their dealings with others. Sarcasm, boldness and reservedness go hand in hand in Mulas behavioral patterns.
Mula natives have peculiar ways of looking at any given situation. A degree of over-eagerness is seen when it comes to taking drastic actions or measures
to resolve situations or problems. Their special talent lies in getting to the root of any matter at hand without any unnecessary beating around the bush.
However, this straightforward, direct approach lands them in trouble when their judgment goes wrong or distorted.

degree of erratic egotism and self-centeredness can be noticed when this pada is working through its lower aspect. Planets, especially Moon, when placed

hardworking while pursuing material objectives. A certain creative spark is seen when it comes to arts, music and other Venusian pursuits. Planets here

Planetary Rulership: Mula combines the energy of Jupiter and Ketu. Ketu is the main ruler of this nakshatra. Being a destructive asterism, Mula relates to
the destructive potential of Ketu. it either initiates a new beginning or a spiritual transformation. Jupiters involvement with this nakshatra makes sure that
transformations under Mula happen for the better. Although it may sound contradictory, Mula also promotes non-violence and protects the good. Ketu loses
much of its power to give bad results when associated with Jupiter in any way. Mula is a strong energy, which can either produce a benevolent sage or a
demonic entity wanting to conquer everything. Most prominent generals and military leaders have important planets placed in Mula.
Jupiter-Ketu conjunction carries Mula energy. A well placed Sun, Mars and Jupiter do well in Mula. Ketu almost always gives some extreme peculiar, distinct
tinge to the native, despite being very strong in its own nakshatra.
Example : Greatest Example of Mula Will be Ravana. He attained a lot, was a great king of Golden kingdom, also won over the three worlds, highly spiritual.
But his Destruction was due to his own action which was tricked by his Ascendant Lord Sun in Ketu. Hence he was killed by 7th incarnation of Vishnu Lord
Rama.
Undefeated is the word describes Purvashada nakshatra people accurately. They feel no matter by using which aspects of their vitality they will have to win
every time, no way Purvashada can lose. Purvashada Nakshatra has natural inclination towards core Venusian qualities like beauty, glamour, show off,
fancy, musical, compassion. In Purvashadha we can find the peak of Venusian qualities in a person among other two Nakshatra of Venus (Bharani &
P.phalguni). They have inherent artistic qualities or eyes for beauty.
As the entire Purvasha Nakshatra falls in sign Sagittarius, it really has the inherent qualities like courage, faith, ambitious spirit, philosophical mind. All these
inherent qualities make them believe more that they have the ability to come on top of anything and everything. But then too much of such attitude can be
self-destructive too. As a Core Sagittarius person Purvashada is highly optimistic among all the nakshatras. Best part is that, their optimism doesnt make
them impatience. After high optimism and patience level, its their ability to ward off hard time of life.
They are good in waiting for the favorable time when they can strike hard and achieve what they want best. Failure doesnt disturb their psychological
approach. At times going gets harder for Purvashada people when they talk on unrealistic hope, high ambition, and undefeated attitude. At times all they
know Just Do It without taking in accounts the consequences with others life or surroundings. That gives the cruel side of their characteristics. They are
usually shy and little reserved who takes time to open up but whenever the opportunity arises they can be aggressive which will be the surprise for other
counterpart.
Purvashadha person knows how to live happily in present without much thinking of past or future. At least they try to cherish every moment of their life. Most
of the Purvashada natives dont get trapped in adverse situation for long in life. The Venusian energy of this Nakshatra continuously try to improve the living
standard, they have the innate liking for good life, social status. They are very good at hiding things, whether its their emotion, motive, information, ongoing
life issues.
Rulership : Venus is the main planetary ruler of Purvashadha . You will find the highest Venusian energy in the expression of Purvashada Nakshatra.
Purvashadha is the power and purity of the childlike mind, which is represented by Jupiter in the form of faith and wonder. Wherever there is Venus to bring
back life from the dead, there is Mercury behind it. Purvashadha is the initiate of the occult mystery schools, Jupiter in this case being the student of Venus
and Mercury. Everyone has to be blessed by Venus and Purvashadha to enter this school. Therefore Mercury has to function well with Venus in a
horoscope for any type of real occult attainments.
In general astrological terms, Jupiter-Venus, Mercury-Venus, Jupiter-Mercury-Venus conjunctions carry an energy similar to that of Purvashadha. Mercury-
Venus & Jupiter-Venus exchange also carry Purvashadha energy.

Shruti is the word very much connected to the nakshatra Shravana. Sanskrit word Shravan which means hearing is the root of the name of this nakshatra
Shravana. So all it says how this nakshatra gives more emphasis on hearing than speaking. A good listener is always a good learner, and in our ancient
days Vedic knowledge has to be passed from Gurus via Shruti (hearing).

attention to ones inner voice in order to grow or progress in life. This nakshatra is not all about listening. It is also related to speech and the ability to put
learning into words. Someone has to speak for someone to listen! This relationship with Saraswati connects this nakshatra to the use and study of
languages, music and a fascination for all media connected with education.

listen, learn and teach meaningful things is usually lost in gossip, backbiting and manipulation. Since it is a very goal oriented nakshatra, it becomes
dangerous when its goals are unwholesome and unethical. Narrow-mindedness is one of the strong traits to emerge out of the negative functioning of this
nakshatra. This nakshatra requires toning down of the ego, as listening without preconceptions is the only way to learn. There is always a danger with this
nakshatra that a person under its influence may not always learn the right things. A person born under a strong influence of this asterism should always be
