Strengths
Anuradha natives are hardworking and contemplative. They don’t like wasting time and neither do they enjoy frivolous activities, such as gossip, meaningless arguments, or fancy dinner parties. Due to their refined sense of taste, they prefer intimate gatherings that focus on enriching conversations and meaningful interaction. Nevertheless, they are not at all snobbish. They are friendly to all and are generally quite popular in among their peers.

Those born under Anuradha are wise and philosophical souls. They are avid learners who can be found reading books on a wide variety of topics. They are able to adjust themselves to live comfortably in any kind of environment, and their broad expanse of knowledge enables them to thrive virtually anywhere.

You are spirited, focused, and virtuous. You enjoy getting things done and being of service to others. Your good character wins you genuine admiration and friendship from others.

Anuradha Careers
Persons born in Anuradha can do well in a wide variety of roles. In particular, they may gravitate to careers that involve traveling.

Some ideal professions include:

Actor, musician, artist, or craftsman
Diplomat, lawyer, or politician
CEO or business person
Healer, counselor, or paranormal investigator
Weaknesses
Anuradha natives can be melancholic and emotional. In Vedic astrology, the moon is the indicator for the mind — it determines our mental and emotional personality. In the sign of Scorpio, the moon is considered to be debilitated, or weak. This means that Scorpios are more likely than others to suffer from mental challenges like depression, anxiety, and so on. However, with every obstacle comes hidden opportunities for growth. By cultivating a practice of meditation, for instance, and building up your mental discipline, such difficulties can be easily overcome.

Those born in Anuradha can also be somewhat guarded. They do not easily open up or place their trust in others. This can cause problems in intimate friendships and romantic relationships. They may be needy, insensitive, rigid, and controlling. Be careful not to impose your own perspectives and needs on those around you. Learn to respect and appreciate others for who they are, instead of trying to manipulate them into who you think they should be.

You can be jealous of the success of others, and you are vindictive when crossed. You also have a harder time tolerating hunger than most. Take care of your body and mind — by maintaining the vehicle of this material body, it can be a powerful asset for spiritual development.

Anuradha’s Four Quarters ( #Padas)
Each nakshatra is divided into four quarters, also known as padas, of 3:20 degrees each. These quarters are based on a 1/9th divisional chart, known in Sanskrit as navamsha.
