#Dhanishta #Nakshatra, ruled by the deity Ashta Vasu, is regarded as one of the luckiest constellations. People born under Dhanishta often achieve their dreams, especially in their careers, at a remarkably young age. Unlike the common belief that they are influenced by Mars, they tend to steer clear of controversies and situations that could worsen a negative scenario. Conflict and stirring up trouble are simply not their style.

These individuals are known for their kindness, never uttering a harsh word or resorting to sarcasm or taunts, whether in front of someone or behind their back. While they avoid confrontation, they have an exceptional memory for any wrongs done to them and may bide their time for years seeking revenge. Engaging in arguments is not something they enjoy; they’d rather keep the peace Dhanishta Nakshatra.

The symbols associated with Dhanishta Nakshatra, the drum and flute, reflect the love for music and dance that people born under this Nakshatra often possess. They are naturally inclined towards musical talents and abilities. The drum and flute, as musical instruments, also symbolize their understanding of the greater rhythms of life and the Universe, and their ability to live life at their own unique pace.

However, the hollowness within the drum and flute could signify a sense of emptiness or void in the lives of these individuals, which may sometimes lead to challenges in their relationships Dhanishta Nakshatra.

#Mrigashira #Nakshatra Imagine a scenario where you’re deep in a lush forest, and you suddenly spot a magnificent deer. Its gaze locks onto yours, and just as quickly, it gracefully disappears from view. This is the essence of Mrigashira. They’re like those elusive, golden deer, captivating and enchanting as they roam in mysterious realms. Their nature often revolves around the concept of pursuit. Whether they’re chasing something or leading you on a chase, the theme of ‘chase’ is inherent to Mrigashira individuals.

They will pique your curiosity, leaving you intrigued, but they can never be held onto, much like a dream that fades into the realm of fantasy when you wake up. Mrigashira embodies imagination, fantasy, the quest for the intangible, and the pursuit of ultimate happiness. Some are fortunate enough to possess these traits, while others may never experience them.

The qualities of Mrigashira encourage people to dream and actively pursue those dreams. They teach us to transform our dreams into reality through hard work and dedication. Additionally, Mrigashira underscores the importance of distinguishing between mere fantasy and taking concrete actions to bring those dreams to life.

For someone starting as an underdog, fantasy could entail achieving exceptional educational or professional recognition or becoming a globally acclaimed speaker. However, the reality involves putting in the effort to make those dreams a reality, ultimately becoming the underdog who achieves greatness Mrigashira Nakshatra.

Take, for instance, a person considered ‘ordinary’ who later evolves into a fashion icon like Prada. Or consider a resident of a slum who miraculously earns a scholarship to study at Oxford. Mrigashira, as a constellation, serves as an inspirational force, urging individuals to chase their dreams Mrigashira Nakshatra.

These dreams could range from inventing something groundbreaking, like the light bulb, to creating mobile homes that can function underwater, such as submarines. Mrigashira tests your ability to envision the extraordinary and then work towards making it a tangible reality Mrigashira Nakshatra.

About Swati Nakshatra
Swati is the fifteenth and central Nakshatra of the 27 Nakshatras. It is one of the Nakshatra that is represented by a single star. This Nakshatra corresponds to the western star, Arcturus (Alpha- Bootis). Arcturus is the third brightest star that can be spotted in the night sky with naked eyes. In Vedic texts, Swati Nakshatra is considered as the abode of the Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of music, learning and knowledge.

As per Etymology, the word “ Swati” means “self-going”, “good goer”, “sword”, “independent”, and “delicate”. Each meaning of the star represents its traits and functioning. Symbolized by the “young plant shoot blown by the wind”, the Swati constellation signifies airy quality and every form of delicacy. It encourages restlessness, adaptability, dexterity and nomad qualities. The alternate symbol of Swati Nakshatra “Coral” represents the creativity that emerges out of parting with a piece of itself. It relates to Planet Mars that offers mobility, energy and strength to Swati Nakshatra. Ancient sages also symbolize the Swati constellation with “a Sword” that represents its fiery and edgy traits. It shows that in times of need, the delicate young plant shoot can transform into a strong and hard sword.

Positioned in the middle of constellations, Swati Nakshatra is the balancing pivot of the zodiac. It represents the phase of life where everything goes smooth and well. It shows the equilibrium point where the Universe stops expanding and begins contracting. Ruled by Rahu, the Swati constellation manifests the energies of an earthy plane. It shows the love of show and pomp and possesses a strong urge for comfort and luxury. The influence of Rahu-Venus brings out the potential that is hidden and needs to be discovered. Thus, people born in Swati Nakshatra crave success and are open to learning and spiritual knowledge. They attain success in Venusian pursuits and exhibit Venusian energies such as love, compassion and harmony.

Vayu, the presiding deity of Swati Nakshatra is referred to as the God of Wind in Vedic texts. He is one of the five gods that reside in heaven or Swarga.

Characteristics of Swati Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Swati Nakshatra is a male #buffalo.
They are part of a Bovidae family, which includes bison, caribou, antelope and water buffalo.
They have thick, large horns, which join in the middle of their head.
Like a bull, the natives of Swati Nakshatra are extremely powerful and can weigh a ton.
They love being in the water, which is especially true for water buffalo found in India.
Buffalo is also known as the ride of Lord Yama. Just like other families of Bovidae, they eat only grass and bushes, and are mainly used in India to push carts and do farming activities.
Swati natives will become either vegan or vegetarians at one point in life.
Due to the nature of water buffalo, they love taking long showers and to be in the bathtub.
Swati natives like to live near an ocean or a river because they need a body of water they can step in, like a water buffalo.
The symbolism of Swati Nakshatra is the blade of grass being swayed by the wind or a sword.
The symbolism speaks the poetry of 1000 words.
Swati Nakshatra natives are extremely independent. They want to travel, do things independently, and know how the world works.
The blade of grass is the Swati native who moves in the direction of the wind.
They love to travel, want to know everybody, and like the wind, they want to take one piece of information and spread it in all directions.
They cannot stick to one particular thought; they must move, and ride the way of the current time.
The Swati natives have a bit of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) in nature, which is why it makes them excellent entrepreneurs.
An entrepreneur is to be at the right place at the right time and execute the idea to get the maximum result, after which they move to the next venture and do the same.
For example, the wind blowing over the United States will flow over India and Russia; and by this it can be seen that the Swati natives are worldly people.
They want to experience the world, travel the world and are obsessed with knowing what is happening in the world.
The wind touches all economies, people, animals and mountains.
The information that is in a single molecule of oxygen is the same molecule inside a Swati native.
The wind is oxygen, oxygen is the vehicle of prana (breath) and prana is what gives us the life force.
Swati natives are profoundly known as yogis or yoga experts.
They can easily master breathing yoga techniques like Anulom vilom pranayama, Kapalbhaati, Kriya, etc.
As the wind is felt about 3 feet from the ground till all the way to mountain peaks, Swati natives are obsessed with reaching the highest ground, which makes them interested in space, rockets, airplanes.
Wind can also cause issues with the lungs due to too much Kapha Dosha, which a person can fall victim to if Swati is influenced by malefics.
The other symbolism of this Nakshatra is the blade or sword.
The caste of Swati Nakshatra is the butcher.
Swati natives naturally have a grasp of dealing with the blade, like fencing, sword fighting, cutting meat or having an interest in collecting sharp blades, which also translate into the nature of Swati natives.
They will cut you in conversation when angry and frustrated.
They can butcher a perfectly made business plan if they are not careful.
The deity of this Nakshatra is Vayu, the wind God and king of celestial musicians.
Vayu is a life-giving breath that nourishes us with the life force or prana.
He is the father of Bhima amongst the Pandavas and the spiritual father of Hanuman.
Many qualities of Vayu can be seen through Hanuman.
When Hanuman was young, he thought Sun was a big fruit and jumped into the sky to eat it.
The Sun God felt intimidated by the little child coming up to him, and asked Indra to bring the child down with his weapon.
Hanuman was struck on his jaw by Indra’s weapon, known as Vajra, the thunderbolt.
Impressed by the child’s resistance, the devas (Gods) blessed Hanuman with various powers.
The child Hanuman used his powers to play pranks upon others.
He ended up being cursed by rishis that he may forget his gifts and powers. When he apologized for his mistake, rishis said his powers would come back to him if reminded by someone else.
Later, when Hanuman was searching for Sita, Lord Rama’s wife, Hanuman felt dejected knowing that the only place left to search for Sita was Lanka and that he had to jump across the ocean to reach Lanka.
Having lost his powers, he was reminded of it by Jambavan, the bear headed being, about his youthful exploits and the subsequent curse.
Hanuman regained confidence and ended up playing out multiple roles of being a messenger to Sita, being a diplomat to Vibhishana, and a soldier against Ravan.
Hanuman is also supposed to have lifted the entire mountain named Dronagiri and brought it to the battlefield of Lanka for Lakshman, who was poisoned by a weapon.
Hanuman’s story can play out through Swati Nakshatra.
From the mythology, it can be seen that, just like the child Hanuman, Swati natives want to achieve the impossible.
They want to reach the top, they have no fear of where they are going, whom they are going to meet or what they are climbing.
Once they see their object of fasciation, they go for it, and this is why Swati natives love climbing mountains and hiking to the highest trail.
They also love collecting shoes, buying shoes and if a shoe breaks for them, major karma gets released or plays out in their life.
Shoes are connected with Swati Nakshatra because the yogatara star of Swati, which is Arcturus, it is at the leg region of the virgin lady of the Virgo zodiac sign.
The yogatara of Swati is at the zero degrees of Libra.
This is why, Chitra Nakshatra and Swati Nakshatra natives in the Libra zodiac sign, will share the same traits.
Swati natives love playing musical air instruments like flute and piano.
Swati natives always need a mentor or a manager who helps them in their journey to become successful as they keep forgetting they have the ability to conquer the world.
They should have a vision board to remind themselves what they can and must achieve.
The most obvious power of Hanuman is his body, strength, and flying ability.
If Chitra or Swati natives, between 0–7 degrees of Libra, are observed, it can be seen that they have a great obsession with flying, bodybuilding, and sculpting their bodies.
Such people also become obsessed with Superman.
But when Swati natives are trying to reach the top of their career, they will face a big fight with an enemy who will try to bring them down at all cost, just like how Indra tried to use his weapon on young Hanuman.
Attributes of Swati Nakshatra in Astrology
Spread from 6’40” to 20’00” Libra (Tula).
Restlessness disposition or physical restlessness, inability to stay still at any place, fidgetiness and noise come from the attributes of its deity, the wind.
The winds (Marut) are the Lords of the North-West. There are 49 of them under ‘Pavana’. Of all Gods, he is the strongest and most obstinate.
These are derived from the knowledge, and the physical internal adjustments of the 5 Winds – Pan, Apan, Vyan, Udan and Saman.
Also from this comes the storms and the whirlwind, the concrete disturbance of the atmosphere.
A native born under this star is good at buying and selling; his wealth and property comes and goes quite easily. He is an independent sort of man, always striving for more independence.
Asceticism is yet another attribute of this star.
The wind is the great scavenger; it sweats the dross and purifies.

This tree shall not be planted within the limits of the house.
Its gum is used as an adhesive.
Arjuna is an antioxidant; it reduces cholesterol and blood pressure.
It is useful in bleeding disorders and heals fractures and wounds quickly.
If an anthill is found to the north of the Arjuna tree, there will be an underground water source at a distance of 4.5 feet to the west of the anthill.

Astronomical Information of Swati Nakshatra
Almost all astronomers agree that the Yogathara of Swati Nakshatra is Arcturus Alpha Bootis.
Interestingly this star does not come in the range of Swati.
This is because no star in Swati has an ecliptic latitude closer to 6.5.
Even latitudes of Arcturus are +30.6. Arcturus or Alpha Bootis is the 4th brightest star in the night sky.
Arcturus is a red giant. It is 110 times brighter than the Sun.
It can be observed in the daytime with a telescope. It is a yellow-orange star and considered a very cool star.
Arcturus moves at a rate of 122 km/s. It cuts perpendicularly through the galactic disk.
It moves with a group of 52 other such stars, known as the Arcturus stream.
Considering this property of Arcturus, the deity of Swati, i.e. Vayu, seems appropriate.

6°40" to 20°00 Libra (Tula)
#Nakshatra #Rahu #Swati #Vayu
The 15th Nakshatra: SWATI.
The four quarters are ruled by:
Guru (Jupiter) - the 1st quarter,
Shani (Saturn) - the 2nd quarter,
Shani (Saturn) - the 3rd quarter,
and Guru (Jupiter) - the 4th quarter.

Other aspects of this Nakshatra:
The Purushardha (life's vector or motivation) is Artha.
Totem animal is #Buffalo (male).
Symbol - #coral.
Devata (Deity) - Vayu.
Dosha - Kapha.

This is 15th Nakshatra of the zodiac, having all its four quarters in Tula (Libra), spanning from 6°40' to 20°00'. The node Rahu rules this Nakshatra. The entire span of this Nakshatra falls in the sign Tula (Libra), the sign ruled by the lord of beauty, Shukra (Venus). These people have beautiful physical appearance, a well-balanced body. Females born in this sign and Nakshatra walk as if they are thinking deep before taking every step and trying to balance their body before taking any further action.

A well-balanced behavior is the essence of their life. These people try to maintain a balance in every walk of their life. They believe in the principle of live and let live. Also they are helpful to others in case of their need. They do not like to do any injustice to others neither do they like any injustice being done to them. But these people are adamant, and they do not like the criticism of their work. A large number of those born in Swati earn their living trough the jobs or businesses involved in traveling.

These people are intelligent and hardworking, but they have to face difficulties in the early part of their life. This is same even for the people who are born in the wealthiest families. But they early struggle serves well for these people, as they start seeing the path clearly ahead of them. The experiences learned in the early part of life serve well.

A strong Shukra (Venus) or Rahu in case of those born in this Nakshatra makes the native good in art work related with the trade of cloth, jewellery, valuable stones, etc. A conjunction of moon with Shukra (Venus) will make the native extremely beautiful and lucky. These people will gain in every assignment they undertake. But in case of a beneficial aspect of Chandra (Moon) with Mangala (Mars), the native may serve in the defense forces or may earn through any of the outdoor games.

When the lord of this Nakshatra, Rahu, is placed in the first house, the native will be short in height, slightly obese. When Rahu is placed in the seventh house, there will be some kind of difference in the wife and husband. For example, one of the partners may be well educated compared with the other or there will be some disparity in physical appearance.

He is willing to extend any helping hand to others provided his own freedom is not questioned. He keeps limit of respect to be given to others irrespective of the position or level of persons that is to say he is not hypocritical in giving respect. He is the best friend in need and worst enemy of the hated. He does not hesitate to take revenge on the persons who is against him. His childhood days will be full of problems. He initially tries to give protection and helping hand to the most dear and near ones but he changes his mind later on due to the unwanted criticism received from such persons.

  1. Education, sources of earning/profession: His intelligence and capacity to do the work are excellent.

Scientists discover more than 90% of #GreatBarrierReef #coral studied in 2022 was bleached

More than 90% of Great Barrier Reefcoral surveyed this year was bleached, Australian #government scientists disclosed Tuesday in a new report.

"This is heartbreaking, this is deeply troubling, it shows that our (Great) Barrier Reef really is in very serious #trouble indeed”, said Simon Bradshaw, Director of Research at the Climate Council.

Bleaching is a phenomenon caused by global #warming, but this is the reef’s first bleaching event during a La Niña #weather pattern, which is associated with cooler #Pacific #Ocean temperatures.

Our Planet ~ Coastal Seas

'Our #coastal #seas are a #rich #community of #plants and #animals #working #together, all of which are #vital to the #health of our #planet and #humanity. From fearsome #sharks to lowly #urchins, 90 percent of #marine #creatures live in coastal #waters. #Protecting these #habitats is a battle humanity must win. Coastal seas count for 7% of our #ocean, yet they are responsible for 95% of the #world’s marine #production – these are our #planet’s #fishing #grounds. Despite their importance to humanity, few are protected. Yet wherever effective #protection #exists, #life bounces back in #huge #abundance. The #wildlife will #thrive, and we will catch more #fish.'
