#Ardra is the brightest star in the #Orion #constellation. It is also known as the Star of Sorrow and the Star of Oppression. Symbolized by #teardrop, Ardra natives are tested intensely, and their life lessons are hard-learned.
Their hardships hold testimony to their success, which comes during later stages of life. The presiding deity – #Rudra and the ruling planet – #Rahu brings confusion and chaos to the lives of people born under the star.
But they also bring in intense hunger for knowledge and lose themselves in quests to quench their thirst for knowledge.
They are bold and are straightforward. The natives are highly sensitive, and more than often, emotions cloud their judgments, making them think from the heart rather than the mind.

The native of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is fair complexioned, strong, sacrificing, wealthy, scholarly, religious, and brave. Such a native is almost a second God for their family. He performs pious deeds and is the best in his family. The native is happy, endowed with sons and grandsons, and victorious over enemies.

#UttaraBhadrapada #Nakshatra in Astrology can be split as Uttara and Bhadhrapadha. Uttara means later, and Bhadrapada means gentle legs. So Uttharabhadhrapadha means after the baby is born.

Uttara Bhadrapada is one of the Urdhvamukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras, which have their mouths upwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to palaces, coronations, boundary walls, construction of tall structures can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: Two Legs of a #Bed
The symbol of Utthara Bhadhrapada is the remaining 2 legs of a bed. It suggests being on the bed for the birth of a baby.

Deity: The Ahirbudhnya
Ahirbudhnya is the deity of Uttara Bhadrapada. He is a #Rudhra. #Ahirbudhnya means the serpent at the base or belonging to the depth.

The yoni animal of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is the #female #cow.
Female cows are still known to be the most prosperous creatures in a household, family, farm, or dairy farm because of their ability to give milk through which we get butter, cheese, paneer, yoghurt, etc.
Cows are peaceful creatures and mind their own business.
They do not attack, plan, scheme and simply want to be left alone. Uttara Bhadrapada natives are just like cows.
They are not as aggressive and fiery as the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra, and they simply want to deal with things in peace and quiet.
They are nourishers who want always to be surrounded by nature like a mountain cow.
Cows can be extremely dangerous, and they can actually storm towards anyone and hit with their horn if they sense harm from someone to their calf, which is the protective nature of any mother.
Just like Uttara Phalguni, which is directly opposite to this Nakshatra, between 3-10 degrees of Pisces, the natives of this Nakshatra require a mate and would like to be with someone.
They are always looking for someone to have their calf, but this Nakshatra is far more feminine than the Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra.
The reason why Uttara Bhadrapada is considered as Laxmi Nakshatra is due to the giving nature of the cow.
Uttara Bhadrapada natives produce a lot of gas as they get older because cows are known to produce methane gas.
The deity of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is Ahirbudhanya, the water dragon who sleeps at the bottom of the ocean.
The word “Ahirbudhanya” is composed of two words, Ahi (serpent) and budhnam (bottom), so the word literally means the serpent at the bottom.
Ahirbudhanya is one of the 11 #Rudras, and he is the #God of #fertility and #kundalini. He is considered the son of #Vishwakarma, the celestial architect.
Ahirbudhanya is a cloud or serpent of the #atmosphere.
Rudras are connected with the atmosphere.
The Nakshatra of Uttara Bhadrapada provides rains and hence, provide the necessary element for life support on the Earth.
Many natives of this Nakshatra are always into spirituality, meditation, kundalini awakening and even possess the natural gift of changing the weather and bringing certain types of weather on call.
The question is why this Nakshatra gives such easy access to the natural DMT. This is where previous karmas come into play.
We get Nakshatra placements in our chart due to our actions and deeds from the past life, so someone progressing spiritually in their last life will gain access to advanced lessons by getting a high definition signal given by this Nakshatra.
The Ahirbudhanya story reflects perfectly in Uttara Bhadrapada native’s lives.
They are extremely secretive about their wealth, connections and skills.
They always hide their treasures in a safe place, where others won’t have access.
There is a strong connection with nature and the environment with these natives like Punarvasu Nakshatra and Ashlesha Nakshatra.
They need to be in nature and surrounded by water and mountains to feel at peace.
Do not mistake their peaceful sneak nature to be a dwarf and hiding in the mountains of gold like in fantasy adventure. Their underworld connection doesn’t just consist of treasures and occult, but also includes the underworld of mob bosses and crime.
All crime revolves around money, whether it’s drugs, gambling or money laundering.
Many times, these natives will have substance abuse issues and deal with drugs and though not connected to the underworld directly, but deal with the dealers of the underworld.

The two Nakshatras, #PurvaBhadrapada Nakshatra and Uttara Bhadrapada, are well connected, just like Purva Phalguni Nakshatra & Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra and Purva Ashadha Nakshatra & Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra.
Ahirbudhanya represents the water in the form of rain clouds, and Aja Ekapada, the deity of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra, represents lightning.
The holy water used for religious purposes in temples and churches (for baptism), etc., represents this water and may show energies of the Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
Like Aja Ekapada, the deity Ahirbudhanya also shows deep meditational aspects.
The sage Bhagirath brought the river Ganga from heaven to Earth.
He and his ancestor did pray to Goddess Ganga and then later to Lord Shiva to bring down the river Ganga.
He invoked Lord #Shiva (the #Rudra) to bring the heavenly holy water to Earth.
It can be noticed that many people who love ships, yachts, boats, scuba diving have a strong presence of this Nakshatra along with Revati Nakshatra.
The native wants to become a sea creature and is interested in venturing into the deep sea.
Attributes of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra in Astrology
Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is one of the Sthir or Dhruva (Fixed) Nakshatras. In these Nakshatras, things of fixed and permanent nature, things concerning one’s house, sowing of seeds, things or rites done for getting peace and the planting of a small garden, etc., can be auspiciously done.
Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is spread from 3’20” up to 16’40” in Pisces (Meena) Rashi.
Lord of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is Jupiter (Guru).
The star is adorned with a serpent-like symbol.
It looks like rice; its properties and attributes are like those of Ardra Nakshatra. Some attributes of Purvabhadrapada also are found.
Purvabhadrapada shows signs of contrition and atonement, while Uttarbhadrapada shows restrain.
Knowledge, learning, good counsel, personality – these also come within the purview of this star.
Anthropomorphically, this is the sole of the feet of Kalapurusha.
Description of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise
According to Hora Sara: The native born in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra will be a good speaker, be happy, will have children and permanent enemies, be virtuous, timid, greedy and intent upon amassing money.
According to Jataka Parijata: If a native is born in the star Uttara Bhadrapada, he will be gentle, liberal, wealthy and learned.
According to Sage Narada: The native born in Uttarabhadra will have progeny. He will be munificent, an orator, defeat his enemies, be happy, plentiful, firm in his aims, and ever libidinous.
According to Brihat Samhita: The native born under the asterism Uttara Bhadrapada will be a good speaker, happy, blessed with children, defeat his enemies and be virtuous.

The meaning of the word ‘Moola’ is a bunch of roots. Some consider that #Moola #Nakshatra in Astrology is the root of our solar system. According to Yajurveda, Sur or Gods took oath on this Nakshathra to eliminate Asura or demons from the root.

Moola Nakshatra in #VedicAstrology is one of the Adhomukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras which have their mouths downwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to tanks, wells, temples, mining, digging, etc., can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: A #Tail of a #Lion
The meaning of Moola is a bunch of roots, and the symbol for Moola is a tail of a lion. During this period, the brain starts to develop into a more complex organ. As we know, a network of neurons in the brain looks very similar to the roots of a tree. Therefore, this symbol makes perfect sense.

Some people also consider the symbol as an #elephant #goad, and this also suggests an organ that guides our actions and decisions. This is because the elephant is a symbol of intelligence and memory. The elephant is considered a symbol of intelligence and memory because of the size of its brain.

Deity: Goddess #Nirhuthi
Nirhuthi is a Goddess of Moola Nakshatra. Nirhuthi is the Goddess of deadly hidden realms and sorrows. She is the owner of the southwest. The word Nirhutha means ‘absence of’. She is dark, dressed in dark clothes, wears ornaments of iron, and has golden hair.

The animal of Moola Nakshatra is a male wolf or a #male #dog.
A dog is the most fascinating creature on this planet.
It can love to the point that it will give its life for you, or it can bite and throttle someone’s bone if they cross their territory.
They are needy, emotional, and pack animals. They always want to be with you and feel abandoned when you go to work.
Dogs are not directly connected with a wolf’s lineage as many think, rather a different species of #wolf, which lived 30,000 years ago, but there are few similarities.
On the other hand, Wolves are wild, sharp, smart and know how to pack hunt.
Wolves are some of the smartest hunters in the wild.
The most distant feature of the wolf is their howling during full moon nights or when the member of the pack dies.
#Mula natives get attached very quickly and don’t want to let go, just like a dog, which is the animal symbol of the Nakshatra.
Mula is the root, and the male dog develops deep roots not only in their master’s heart but also with other family members.
Mula natives are attached to their family, spouse, children or friends.
Once they are your friends, they are your friends regardless.
A male dog is more playful most of the time vs a female dog.
Mula natives are quite playful, but their playfulness can be painful, just like the sharp paws of the puppy or dog.
They can play rough, and they don’t realize they have hurt another person.
The symbol of Mula Nakshatra is the roots, #roots of a tree, plant or even our own roots.
Roots grow underground hence, invisible.
We only see what is in front of us growing above the ground.
Mula natives are the embodiment of their roots, their past, their ancestors.
They love to be detectives and search the past like archaeologists or palaeontologists.
The roots can be completely uprooted, especially when taking out a dead plant or removing trees to clear out a land.
Native who have clusters of Mula in their chart will always tend to uproot their life without a hint.
Even if everything is fine in a relationship, career, or idea, they just completely bulldoze and clear it out to pave the way for something new.
Mula natives may love studying the roots of plants and trees.
Sometimes, the basic meaning of things would be the biggest karma of a person, like an Ashwini Nakshatra native would be training horses for a living.
Mula natives would also love eating things that are buried underground like potatoes, beets, ginger, garlic, onion; some even have a fascination with cemeteries and graveyards.
The deity of Moola Nakshatra is Nirhuthi, the Goddess of destruction.
She is the Goddess who brings new creation after destruction.
She is described as having golden locks, dark, and connected with the underworld.
She is very much similar to Goddess Kali.
Goddess Nirhuthi rules the South-West direction and is supposed to have come from the anus of Brahma in the creation myth.
There are variations of Daksha’s yagna story in which #Goddess #Nirriti is supposed to have accompanied #Rudra to destroy Daksha’s yagna.
#Kali is the fierce form of Goddess #Durga, who stopped her destruction only after Shiva himself surrendered to her feet.
Nirhuthi is also connected with Goddess Dhumavati, one of the ten Mahavidyas, as well as Goddess Alakshmi, also called as Jyeshtha, the Goddess of poverty. She is the elder sister of Lakshmi.
Lakshmi, the Goddess of prosperity, is supposed to visit Jyeshtha, her elder sister, every Saturday on the Pipal tree.
Lakshmiji follows and visits their home, who pays respect to the Pipal tree on Saturday.
Kali is connected to the black hole that is driving the centre of the Milky Way, and her connection with Shiva is pointing to the Ardra-Moola Nakshatra axis, with a black hole at the centre of the Milky Way.
After reading the mythology, the first impression we have of Mula natives is that they are followers of Kali, especially in Indian culture.
Someone in a foreign country from Celtic culture may worship a dark Goddess like Carawin or Erzulie Dantor in Voodoo, which is a white magic to heal and protect people.
Laxmiji blesses a person who worships the Pipal tree where Jyeshtha resides and shows great love and admiration of her elder sibling.
Mula natives will protect their siblings, and when someone does well for their siblings, they will bow and protect them like their own siblings.
Just like the fierce Goddess Kali, these natives are fierce too.
They will challenge, stand up to anyone and take out the roots of beliefs and tradition instantly.
Like their yoni animal, they can become Pit Bulls.
The position of Mula in the sky points towards the supermassive black hole region of the #galaxy.
So far, we know nothing about inside a black hole, no one has been near it, inside it, and most are theoretical observations of scientific models.
Mula natives are as mysterious as the black hole; they can suddenly be comedians and quickly turn into killers like “The Joker”.
They are quite unpredictable, with chaotic energy around them.
We do know via science that light doesn’t escape the black hole, and it tends to suck everything around it; for this reason, a Mula native must redirect their energy into a positive spiritual path because they will see how quickly they start sucking the energy of other people towards them and others would enjoy sinking into their spiritual hole.
However, the general population is neither spiritual nor desires to walk on that path.
A Mula person can be quite intense to be around, where you may feel they suck your energy.
A black hole crushes everything that comes near it. Hence, the Mula native also loves to crush things. For example, if they drink a can of coke, they will crush it and throw it away, or someone who loves to see cars and other materials is crushed and destroyed by monster trucks or tanks.
Attributes of Moola Nakshatra in Astrology
Spread from 0’00” to 13’20” in Sagittarius (Dhanu) Sign.
It also means the ‘opposite’ or ‘reverse’. Moola is not one of the good stars, which is evident from the fact that the deity is Alakshmi, i.e. God of ill luck.
Moola signifies roots, that is, everything of a basic nature. Its motion is finite and limited. It does not go beyond its narrow orbit.
Old servant, pedlar of seeds, physician administering herbal seed remedies – every such thing is determined from this star.
The Moola native looks into scientific, literary, philosophy and other basic subjects.
This star governs mortgage and mortgaged property, and its horizon is not rural but urban.
Description of Mula Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise
According to Hora Sara: The native born in Moola Nakshatra will be wise, happy, rich, prone to diseases and be a big thief. He will be fortunate, unsteady in mind, eldest among co-born.
According to Jataka Parijata: If a native is born in the star Moola, he will be eloquent but dishonest, with his happiness marred, ungrateful and indigent.
According to Sage Narada: The native born in Moola will trouble others, be honourable, wealthy, will ensure the progress of others’ work, be a liar, lustful and slim.
According to Brihat Samhita: Under Moola, one becomes proud, wealthy, happy, of a gentle nature, firm-minded and luxurious in his living.

#Ardra #Nakshatra in #Astrology denotes that native has intellectual nature, passionate thinking side, is sharp-minded, looking for why and the cause behind things that happen in the world, has strong speaking talents, lack a large number of close friends, confrontations with others, master of debates and arguments, makes enemies easily, causing emotional pain to others, and can be turned away by society.

Ardra Nakshatra in #VedicAstrology is one of the Urdhvamukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras, which have their mouths upwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to palaces, coronations, boundary walls, and tall structures can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: A #Bead or a #Drop
The sign for this Nakshatra is a tear or a drop. This is an indication of seminal fluid that causes fertilization.

Deity: Lord #Rudhra
The deity for Ardra Nakshatra is #Rudra. The meaning of the word Rudhra is the one who makes #cry because Rudh means to cry. The deity for #Rohini is #Brahma and for Ardra is Rudhra. Brahma is the creator, #Vishnu is the maintainer, and Rudhra is the destroyer. You may wonder how come Rudhra came after Brahma instead of Vishnu. This is because the egg was formed and didn’t get fertilized. This means the creation and destruction happened but were not maintained. Vishnu is a deity of Shravana Nakshatra because, during #Shravana Nakshathra, the development of the baby is complete.

Characteristics of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Ardra Nakshatra is a #female #wolf or a female #dog. A dog is the most fascinating creature on this planet.
It can love to the point that it will give its life for you, or it can bite and throttle someone’s bone if they cross their territory.
They are needy, emotional, and pack animals. They always want to be with you and feel abandoned when you go to work.
Dogs have alpha dog in the pack, usually in domestic settings, where there are more than 3 dogs.
One will always become the alpha, but there aren’t any alpha in wolves except the senior dog, who may be the pack’s parent.
They work as a team without a leader.
Translating these facts into Nakshatra is quite simple. Ardra natives require extreme loyalty in love and friendship.
They do not want to feel abandoned by you else, they either become extremely emotional or wild like the wolf to defend their loyalty for you.
They go to extremes of showing their loyalty by even giving their own lives, but when you cross them or their loved one, they will come after you like a hungry dog or wolf and eat the flesh off of you.
They are unpredictable, like a strange dog. You do not know if they are friendly or will try to bite you.
Therefore, everyone is cautious of approaching an Ardra native.
When Ardra natives gets angry, sad and frustrated, they will #howl and scream like the wolf, especially when the impact of malefics is on the planet placed in Ardra.
Usually, these people are calm and very private, like the wild wolves, which hide in the deep forest.
Wolves are excellent hunters in the world. Ardra natives love going hunting, which is also their symbolism of “The Hunter”.
They love eating wild game meat like elk, venison, wild boar, alligator etc. This quality of hunting also gives such natives good eyesight in the dark.
Such folks will always hunt for their object of desire when they like someone and will do whatever it takes to get them.
The deity of this Nakshatra is Rudra (Shiva). #Shiva is an #Aghori, the one who is #naked, constantly meditates, deals and #loves #death, knows the value of death, stays in #cremation grounds, eating wild fruits, berries of forest including meat.
Yes, Shiva did it all. All the things are in Shiva Purana. Shiva is known as #Bholenaath (the innocent one), he gives whatever you ask him.
He is always in meditation and calm, but if you were to disturb him from his meditation, he will not only destroy you but has the capacity of destroying the entire Universe.
Rudra (Shiva) is also one of the first #medicine #man from the #RigVeda.
He is one of the best physicians of all times. He was making medicine himself and healing people under the name Vaidyanatha (Lord of remedies).
Rudra is the embodiment of Shiva with armor along with bow & arrow, just like the Hunter of #Orion.
It’s said that one must worship Rudra in order to attain moksha.
Rudra was created by multiple Gods to get to Brahma, who was chasing his daughter for procreation.
Gods wanted something so powerful that could take Brahma down, and this is how Rudra was manifested.
Ardra natives are exactly like Shiva.
They are wild, unorthodox; they can go to the extreme of everything like extreme meditation, love, lust, anger, work, and emotions, just like how Shiva’s anger can destroy the whole Universe.
They are usually calm people who are wild in a silly sense.
They are very animated and can be boys of boys or girls amongst boys due to the muscle nature of this Nakshatra.
A girl usually is a tomboy in youth.
Once Shiva is disturbed from his calm mood or backstabbed, then they become Rudra and will destroy whatever is in front of them.
They are the ones who can throw everything from their desk when angry.
Ardra natives also make great physicians, and are related to pharmaceutical and Ayurveda professions.
Career is determined by using the Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha technique.
The symbolism of Ardra is a teardrop and a skull. The teardrop represents the drop of the storm.
A storm will always start out with a few drops on your head, and before you know, you are in a flood of water.
The drop is known as a “tear drop”, which is the teardrop of Shiva.
In real life, Ardra must face storms of emotions where tears just come out.
When they cry, they will cry a storm and usually, it can be over very small things.
The cry is not normal; it’s a cry with a howl and scream.
Out of all the Nakshatras, Ardra is the most emotional and with deep feelings, but the reason why they have such feelings is because the world is supposed to betray those feelings, so the water inside turns into a fierce storm.
It’s in their karma to deal with tears; therefore, they make the best actors in front of a camera.
When Ardra native reads a letter, email or text message from past, they can have a river of tears flowing out of them.
The symbolism of the skull is the mystical and realistic side of Ardra.
A skull is actually one of the best tools for an Aghori in the cremation ground.
They use the skull for drinking wine. It may be sacrilegious for us, but we are too dumb to understand the scientist (Aghori) practicing this science of nature.
There is a logical purpose why an Aghori smears themselves with ashes and drink from skull or eat the flesh of the dead.
The skull symbolism shows that Ardra is not afraid of death and is curious about the world of mysticism, occult, tantra, and magic rituals.
Skull is also where the hair grows, and Ardra represents the hair of Shiva.
The controller of this Nakshatra is #Rahu. All three Nakshatras of Rahu, which are Ardra Nakshatra, #Swati Nakshatra and #Shatabhisha Nakshatra, will have a lot of similar themes to them compared to other Nakshatra being ruled by a single planet.
Rahu is like Jupiter. All Rahu ruled Nakshatras love space, science fiction, astrophysics, the astral plane, fantasy and anything to do with the new-age technology.
Even though Ardra is a medicine man, but these natives are attracted to future technology.
Out of all the Nakshatras of Rahu, Ardra has the capacity to write a great science fiction book.
All Ardra natives dive into the fantasy of what is the world, how the world works, and what else is out there in the ether besides this blue planet, Earth.
Attributes of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
Ardra Nakshatra extends in Gemini (Mithun) from 6’40” to 20’00”.
When Surya enters Ardra, the Earth is said to be starting its menstrual course, that is, Ambubachi.
Ardra means wet or surcharged with water. Because the Earth is running her menstrual course, teardrops fall one after another.
From Rudra comes all suffering, persecutions and oppressions, anger, the ferocity of countenance or hideousness of noise. Rudra is another name of Shiva, the five-faced (Panchanana).
In knowledge, asceticism, renunciation, and enjoyment, he is the supreme consummation of all desires. He is a blue-throated one, the wielder of the tremendous powers, what could not be attempted, far less achieved by other Gods.
On one side, he symbolizes the perfect placidity and serenity; on the other hand, he is the symbol of all that is terrible. He holds the great serpent on his head and forehead crescent Chandra with his sweet-soft light.
At the same time, he is the most peaceful and the most terrible. And in all these are to be traced the intrinsic characteristics of Ardra.
Superficially, on the surface of it, Ardra stands for suffering, hardness, cruelty, murder, prison, theft, adultery, etc.
The root characteristic is oppression in order to purify. All male kidney troubles, connected urethral diseases and also uterine diseases of the females, come within the jurisdiction of Ardra.
Description of Ardra Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise
According to Hora Sara: The native with Ardra as his natal Nakshatra will have a wavering mind, be a crafty speaker, and will steal others’ money, be self-respected, will have few sons, be long-lived, and will have royal money.
According to Jataka Parijata: If at a native’s birth, the Moon is in Ardra, he will be destitute to wealth, fickle, with much physical strength, and addicted to base actions.
According to Sage Narada: The native born in Ardra will be interested in rituals related to tantra, adventurous, skillful in trading, fierce, and ungrateful.
According to Brihat Samhita: The asterism Ardra makes one perfidious, haughty, irascible, ungrateful, cruel, and sinful.

#Ardra #Nakshatra
Ardra Nakshatra individuals are truly exceptional. Their journey through life is marked by profound transformation and a willingness to make sacrifices that few other constellations can match. This transformation is not without its turbulence, as the emotional turmoil within them is evident.

It’s a reminder that growth and self-improvement, even for a deity like Lord Shiva, can be a challenging and messy process. But ultimately, it is undeniably beautiful.

The word “Ardra” is synonymous with “Rudra,” another name for Lord Shiva. When Shiva’s devoted wife, Sati, tragically took her own life after hearing her husband being publicly defamed, it was a culmination of anger, remorse, and an unbearable sense of injustice. She hadn’t heeded Shiva’s advice, and in her eyes, he did not deserve the humiliation he endured from the crowd.

In the wake of this tragedy, Shiva’s reaction was one of intense grief, anger, and chaos. He wept uncontrollably, and his tears fell upon the land, causing destruction in their wake. All of this stemmed from a profound love and a feeling of abandonment. This is why Ardra is often symbolized as the “Tears of Shiva,” shed for his beloved, representing the pain that can arise from love and the subsequent journey of transformation Ardra Nakshatra.

People born under the Ardra birth star share some of these traits. They are inherently pure-hearted but can also be quick to anger (and equally quick to please). Their innocence and capacity for deep love are remarkable, but they also experience pain more intensely than most.

It is this depth of feeling that helps them undergo a transformative process, much like a butterfly emerging from chaos and struggle to become independent, free, and bask in the light of day.

#RgVeda and we want to be careful about whether this degrades everything:

93-94. (?) The Pitṛs named Ājyapās are the sons born of Pulaha who was born of Kardama, the Prajāpati. They reside in those worlds which can go wherever one desires. They move about in the sky in various forms and shapes. The groups of Vaiśyas who seek benefit worship these Pitṛs in Śrāddha.

1. Their mental daughter is well known by the name Virajā. She was the chaste wife of Nahuṣa and the mother of Yayāti.

2. The Pitṛs named Sukālas are the sons of the noble-souled Vasiṣṭha, son of Hiraṇyagarbha (Brahmā). The Śūdras worship them.

3. Those worlds where they stay in the #heaven are #Mānasa by name. Their mental daughter is Narmadā, the most excellent river.

4. She sanctifies the living beings as she proceeds along the Dakṣiṇāpatha (southern tract and territory). She was the #wife of #Purukutsa and the #mother of #Trasaddasyu.

5. It is after accepting these that Manu the lord of the Manvantara initiates the Śrāddha rites everywhere.

It's of course a little weird, hard to tell who is intended to be human. Maybe weirder to think of Arya kings as "wedded" to the southern #Narmada #River.

#Rudra is reborn in each of these #Manvantaras, and #Agni and the #Pitrs are the only thing that stays the same.

Individuals change names, classes change jobs, for example Sadhyas are now Adityas, everything else is a flux besides Agni and Pitrs.

So those are two branches that use his two wives, ##Svaha and Svadha, for the #ending of #mantras. They are his #power or, i. e. Svaha carries mantras to #Devas, Svadha to the Pitrs, Sraddha Rite, which upon examination is about #Time rather than #ancestors. Agni shows manifested units of time, the #day, #year, etc., whereas Pitrs are much like #Father-Time, duration in the abstract.

Most streams of Purana have dissipated all this, such as:

Sādhya (साध्य) refers to a group of deities that was once worshipped in ancient #Kashmir (Kaśmīra) according to the Nīlamatapurāṇa.—Various groups of the deities like #Ādityas, #Vasus, #Sādhyas, #Viśvedevas and #Maruts have their place in the #pantheon of the #Nīlamata but nothing significant is said about them.

Or they may be found shuffled in to #Shiva #Ganas that have nothing to do with this.

Where discussed, they may include:

Arthasiddhi

Brahmāṇḍa-purāṇa II. 24. 27; 38. 3.

and importantly:

Viṣṇu, Nārāyaṇa, lying in sleep in the vast mass of water.*

• Vāyu-purāṇa 23. 108.

live in Bhuvarloka; Nārāyaṇa, their overlord

in the [Śatapatha-brāhmaṇa] their world is said to be above the sphere of the gods; according to Yāska [Nirukta, by Yāska xii, 41] their locality is the Bhuvarloka or middle region between the #earth and #sun;

in the later mythology they seem to be superseded by the Siddhas

The easily-copied rosters of Sadhyas are:

Manas, Mantṛ, Prāṇa, Nara, Pāna, Vinirbhaya, Naya, Daṃśa, Nārāyaṇa, Vṛṣa, Prabhu

Mana, Anumanta, Prāṇa, Nara, Apāna, Vīryavān, Vīti, Naya, Haya, Haṃsa, Nārāyaṇa, Vibhu, and Prabhu

The latter, from #Brihadaranyaka #Upanishad, is in the context that they take birth at will, consciously. The same group of entities changes names and kingdoms; the twelve #souls have #continuity. And so they remember that they once were, on the ideal or ideational plane:

Prāṇa, Apāna, Udāna, Samāna, Vyāna, Cakṣus, Śrotram, Rasa, Ghrāṇa, Sparśa, Buddhi and Manas.

There for example is #Mind's Eye, #Caksus, which is unlike #Indra, because #ordinary #vision requires a physical #eyeball and a #psychological response to stimulus, may be easily tricked. This is i#ncorporeal vision that represents #Perfect #Sight.

"Later #mythology" means the Sadhyas appear in #Mahabharata numerous times, but, barely have any references in Bhagavata Purana.

" #Narayana" is in #Rg-Veda as the author of Purusha Sukta. That's it

Though we make the male born in Ardra Nakshatra sound like a nerd, but he is not just that. In fact, being humorous is one of the things these people are good at.

Compatibility female
The female born in the Ardra Nakshatra has good compatibility with his husband but tends to marry late. Your experience with relationships before marriage may not be the one you would like to write about in your diary. However, this bad spell of luck in love changes once you tie the knot.

Health female
On the health front, the female born in the Ardra Nakshatra may have to suffer from menstrual problems. Early identification is the key if they seek to avoid any such complications in the future.

#Ardra is the sixth of 27 #nakshatras. If you were born when the moon was between 6:40-20:00 degrees Gemini,
#Sanskrit Name: आर्द्र (Ardra). One meaning of Ardra is “the #moist one,” indicating softness, youthfulness, and an adaptive nature.

Planetary Ruler: #Rahu. The planet Rahu is equated with the North node of the moon and is described in the Vedas as the disembodied head of the demon Rahu. Vedic lore describes that eclipses occur when the sun or moon is swallowed by the head of Rahu. Rahu is associated with trouble, disease, and radical change.

Nakshatra Group: Humanlike. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Ardra is a humanlike nakshatra. People in this group are generally hardworking and motivated to achieve material success. Although they are generally kind, they can also be vindictive and self-serving.

Zodiac Sign: Gemini. Gemini natives are intelligent, analytical, imaginative, and thoughtful individuals skilled at rhetoric.

Deity: Rudra. #Rudra, also known as Shiva, is the lord of destruction and one of the most powerful deities in Vedic theology. He is also respected as a great mystic and spiritual practitioner.

Symbol: A #human #head or a #teardrop. This represents intellectualism and the clarity that comes after sadness.

Power: Achievement through effort. Strength of will powers Ardras in their endeavors, and they put considerable care and trouble into achieving their goals.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Ardra are Ku (कु), Gha (घ), Na (ङ), and Cha (छ). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Ardras are known for their intellects. You have an excellent memory and are knowledgeable about a variety of subjects. People respect your for your intellectual ability and clarity of thought.

The value of honesty is not lost on you, and you endeavor to be truthful in your dealings with others. As a result, you come across as authentic and might be noted for your “purity of heart.”

You are goal-oriented and work best when there is a clear aim in sight. Things don’t always come easily to you, but you push on with enthusiasm until you achieve your goals. Ardra natives don’t shy away from a challenge. Physically strong and possessing an adventurous spirit, you like pursuing new avenues of thought and activity.

It’s rare that you allow others to see your agitation, and in fact it’s difficult to upset or disturb you. You are generally composed and calm, and your pride and self-respect ensure that you don’t embarrass yourself. As a result, you are respected for your ability to perform under pressure and deal with difficulties without getting too ruffled. You excel in fields where diplomacy and tact are important.

Ardra Careers
As a result of your intelligence and curiosity, you are skilled in many different areas.
You are a motivated worker and work well when you have specific goals and a chance for personal advancement.

Some ideal professions include:

Scientist, writer, or teacher
Psychologist or social services worker
Politician or public relations representative
Athlete or construction worker
Note: Those born under Ardra are sometimes drawn to pursue a living outside the law. Their drive and ambition can lead them to put achieving their goals above all else, disregarding whether there is a right or wrong way to achieve them.

Weaknesses
Ardra’s shadow side is where death, pain, and suffering are found. As an Ardra, you may become the cause of suffering for others. One of your weaknesses is a lack of empathy, and as a result you can be inconsiderate and even cruel. However, you could be linked to suffering in a different way — many Ardras are useful in fields where they reduce suffering, such as in hospice or humanitarian work. Involving yourself in these types of activities can help you develop empathy and balance your harsher tendencies.

Anger, aggression, and even violence are not uncommon in Ardra natives. You take things to extremes and, although you are good at hiding your emotions, those same emotions can lead you to actions that may be destructive to others and ultimately yourself. It may be helpful to find a healthy outlet for your aggression, such as in a competitive sport.

When your self-confidence is not in a healthy state, arrogance becomes an issue. You may be haughty, ungrateful, and highly critical. Your impressive intellect can be your downfall if you allow yourself to think that it makes you better than others.

You are very motivated to achieve your material goals, but the downside of this is that your ambition can make you greedy. You might operate under the belief that any action is justified if it leads to your goals. You can be manipulative and have mischievous tendencies — you aren’t afraid to bend or break the rules to get what you want.

Cultivating empathy and gratitude is useful for Ardras and will bring them a sense of peace. Gratitude journaling is one exercise that Ardras may benefit from. Adopting a vegetarian or vegan diet can help Ardras counterbalance their violent tendencies, because it promotes a focus on non-violence and on alleviating the suffering of other creatures.

Recommended: Learn more about the science of the Vedas and how Vedic knowledge can help you elevate your consciousness and enhance your life.

Other Personality Traits
You are imaginative. Like most Geminis, you enjoy exploring new avenues of thought. Ardras are especially attracted to anything that is original and breaks with established tradition.

You are a risk-taker. Confidence, ambition, and your sense of adventure make you prone to taking risks. Sometimes, the risks get you into trouble. Other times, luck is on your side. When you think things through and don’t act recklessly, you can make intelligent, calculated risks that may give great results.

You change your mind a lot. Your mind is always active, and as you explore one idea after another you might change your opinion accordingly. This can make you seem unreliable.

You can completely transform your character. Ardras have the ability for radical personal change. The influence of Rahu makes you capable of leaving established norms behind entirely. If you become disillusioned with a particular lifestyle, system of belief, or behavior, you don’t hang on to it.

Your are a crafty speaker. You have a way with words and know how to use them to your best advantage. This can make you very popular — however, it also makes it too easy to be duplicitous and manipulative.

You may abuse power. Your intelligence and confidence can make you believe in the rightness of your own plans and intentions above all else. “The end justifies the means” is a philosophy that might appeal to you. As a result, you are liable to misuse others when given the power to do so. When in a position of authority, you use any advantages available to you — even if those advantages aren’t strictly moral.

Ardra Compatibility
Ardra sexuality is symbolized by a female dog. In terms of physical compatibility, this makes them an ideal match for persons born under Mula nakshatra.

Based on holistic matching, Ardras are most likely to find happiness in long-term partnerships with:

Mrigashiras in Gemini
Punarvasus in Gemini
Magha (for male natives)
Purva-phalguni
Uttara-phalguni
Chitra
Visakhas in Libra
Mula (for male natives)
Purva-ashadha (for female natives)
Uttara-ashadhas in Sagittarius
Dhanisthas in Aquarius
Purva-bhadrapadas in Aquarius
Note: Compatibility in relationships is a complex science that looks at many different factors. You should always consult with an experienced astrologer who can carefully analyze the charts of both you and your partner.

Ardra’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.

The moon’s position at your time of birth determines the quarter in which you are born.

First Quarter (6:40-10:00 degrees Gemini): Sagittarius. You are intelligent and known for your good character. You love to explore. Luxury appeals strongly to you and you live lavishly.

Second Quarter (10:00-13:20 degrees Gemini): Capricorn. Hard work doesn’t faze you and you work with determination and diligence. Material success is important to you and you work hard to get it. You have a tendency to bend the rules to get results and can be dishonest. Despite your hard work, you often seem to have bad luck and may deal with a number of adversities.

Third Quarter (13:20-16:40 degrees Gemini): Aquarius. Scholarly pursuits appeal strongly to you and you will probably do well at school. Your mind is always active. You can be somewhat obsessive in your interests, and your absorption in your mental world and a lack of empathy can lead you to be unkind to others.

Fourth Quarter (16:40-20:00 degrees Gemini): Pisces. You are sensitive and easily affected by the world around you. You are attuned to the feelings of others and your compassion endears you to family and friends. Less harsh than other Ardras, you have a mild nature. You always have something to say and are an enthusiastic conversationalist.

Ardra in Electional Astrology
In electional astrology, also known as muhurtha, nakshatras are used to determine favorable days and times for important ceremonies and events, such as weddings, buying a new house or vehicle, commencing a project, or conceiving a child.

The electional nature of Rohini is Sthira, “fixed or steady.” Rohini is an excellent nakshatra for:

Marriage ceremonies
Building a home
Buying land
Planting trees
Undergoing a medical treatment
Learning art, music, or dance

Usually, children born in Ardra Nakshatra struggle to balance the mental and emotional aspects. They go through various upheavals in their lives and witness numerous U-turns. Ardra Nakshatra male and female should take proper care of traveling and marriage related aspects.

Ruled by Rahu, Ardra natives are completely under the illusionary energies of Ardra Nakshatra ruling planet. They stay confused and disperse their intellectual and mental energies into meaningless pursuits. They struggle on the material plane on the Earth and invest most of their time in materialistic trailing.

The #Mystical #Power of Nepalese #Rudraksha #Beads

Introduction:
One of the most renowned and mysterious gemstones, Rudraksha beads, are found in Nepal, a country rich in #ancient customs and spiritual practises. Hindus place great religious significance on these heavenly beads made from Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree seeds, which have been treasured for ages by #spiritual seekers and believers. We explore the history, meaning, and spiritual benefits of Nepalese Rudraksha beads in this essay.

Origin and Authenticity:
In the foothills of the #Himalayas, where the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree flourishes in the pristine natural environment, Nepalese Rudraksha beads are predominantly sourced for their origin and authenticity. Due to their genuineness and true spiritual vibrations, these beads, known for their outstanding quality, are much sought after. The power and purity of the Rudraksha beads found in this area are a result of the hallowed soil, unpolluted air, and peaceful energy of #Nepal.

Symbolism and Spiritual Significance:
Hindu mythology has a strong connection to rudraksha beads, which are thought to be a gift from Lord #Shiva. The words " #Rudra" and "Aksha," which both signify tears in #Sanskrit, are combined to form the word "Rudraksha." Rudra is another name for Lord Shiva. These beads are revered as precious objects and are linked to wellbeing, spiritual development, and heavenly protection. Rudraksha beads are said to promote harmony, calm, and inner transformation when worn or used during meditation.

Types and Mukhi (Facets):
A distinctive feature of Nepalese Rudraksha beads is the quantity of Mukhi, or facets. Each Mukhi represents a distinct deity and has unique characteristics and advantages. The rarest and most potent bead is a single Mukhi, but greater Mukhi counts, like five, six, or even 21 Mukhi, are also possible. Each Mukhi is thought to provide a unique blessing and align with particular chakras, promoting spiritual development and overall wellbeing.

Healing and Therapeutic Properties:
In addition to being valued for their spiritual importance, rudraksha beads are thought to have healing qualities. According to legend, the beads give off uplifting vibrations that are claimed to balance the wearer's energy, soothe the mind, and reduce tension. They are known to increase focus, sharpen memory, and advance general physical and mental health. Additionally, many practitioners employ Rudraksha beads in Ayurvedic treatments and complementary medical procedures.

Care and Maintenance:
The right maintenance is necessary to keep Nepalese Rudraksha beads pure and effective. It is important to gently wipe the beads with a soft cloth to maintain them clean and free of dirt or contaminants. When not in use, the beads should be kept in a tidy, sacred location. The Rudraksha beads are thought to have additional spiritual and healing benefits when worn when regularly chanting or meditating.

Conclusion:
Rudraksha beads from Nepal represent #divine #protection, spirituality, and all-around wellbeing. People looking for spiritual growth and connection highly value them because of their rich history, mystical significance, and healing effects. Nepalese Rudraksha beads continue to captivate the hearts of believers and serve as a potent reminder of the fundamental connections between spirituality, nature, and the human soul, whether worn as a spiritual adornment or used for their healing abilities.

The deity for Ardra Nakshatra is Rudhra. The meaning of the word Rudhra is the one who makes cry because Rudh means to cry. The deity for #Rohini is #Brahma and for Ardra is Rudhra. Brahma is the creator, Vishnu is the maintainer, and Rudhra is the destroyer. You may wonder how come Rudhra came after Brahma instead of Vishnu. This is because the egg was formed and didn’t get fertilized. This means the creation and destruction happened but were not maintained. #Vishnu is a deity of #Shravana Nakshatra because, during Shravana Nakshathra, the development of the baby is complete.

Characteristics of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Ardra Nakshatra is a #female #wolf or a female #dog. A dog is the most fascinating creature on this planet.
It can love to the point that it will give its life for you, or it can bite and throttle someone’s bone if they cross their territory.
They are needy, emotional, and pack animals. They always want to be with you and feel abandoned when you go to work.
Dogs have alpha dog in the pack, usually in domestic settings, where there are more than 3 dogs.
One will always become the alpha, but there aren’t any alpha in wolves except the senior dog, who may be the pack’s parent.
They work as a team without a leader.
Translating these facts into Nakshatra is quite simple. Ardra natives require extreme loyalty in love and friendship.
They do not want to feel abandoned by you else, they either become extremely emotional or wild like the wolf to defend their loyalty for you.
They go to extremes of showing their loyalty by even giving their own lives, but when you cross them or their loved one, they will come after you like a hungry dog or wolf and eat the flesh off of you.
They are unpredictable, like a strange dog. You do not know if they are friendly or will try to bite you.
Therefore, everyone is cautious of approaching an Ardra native.
When Ardra natives gets angry, sad and frustrated, they will howl and scream like the wolf, especially when the impact of malefics is on the planet placed in Ardra.
Usually, these people are calm and very private, like the wild wolves, which hide in the deep forest.
Wolves are excellent hunters in the world. Ardra natives love going hunting, which is also their symbolism of “The Hunter”.
They love eating wild game meat like elk, venison, wild boar, alligator etc. This quality of hunting also gives such natives good eyesight in the dark.
Such folks will always hunt for their object of desire when they like someone and will do whatever it takes to get them.
The deity of this Nakshatra is Rudra (Shiva). Shiva is an# Aghori, the one who is naked, constantly meditates, deals and loves death, knows the value of death, stays in cremation grounds, eating wild fruits, berries of forest including meat.
Yes, Shiva did it all. All the things are in Shiva Purana. Shiva is known as #Bholenaath (the innocent one), he gives whatever you ask him.
He is always in meditation and calm, but if you were to disturb him from his meditation, he will not only destroy you but has the capacity of destroying the entire Universe.
Rudra (Shiva) is also one of the first #medicine man from the #Rig #Veda.
He is one of the best physicians of all times. He was making medicine himself and healing people under the name Vaidyanatha (Lord of remedies).
Rudra is the embodiment of Shiva with armor along with bow & arrow, just like the Hunter of Orion.
It’s said that one must worship Rudra in order to attain moksha.
Rudra was created by multiple Gods to get to Brahma, who was chasing his daughter for procreation.
Gods wanted something so powerful that could take Brahma down, and this is how Rudra was manifested.
Ardra natives are exactly like Shiva.
They are wild, unorthodox; they can go to the extreme of everything like extreme meditation, love, lust, anger, work, and emotions, just like how Shiva’s anger can destroy the whole Universe.
They are usually calm people who are wild in a silly sense.
They are very animated and can be boys of boys or girls amongst boys due to the muscle nature of this Nakshatra.
A girl usually is a tomboy in youth.
Once Shiva is disturbed from his calm mood or backstabbed, then they become Rudra and will destroy whatever is in front of them.
They are the ones who can throw everything from their desk when angry.
Ardra natives also make great physicians, and are related to pharmaceutical and Ayurveda professions.
Career is determined by using the Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha technique.
The symbolism of Ardra is a teardrop and a skull. The teardrop represents the drop of the storm.
A storm will always start out with a few drops on your head, and before you know, you are in a flood of water.
The drop is known as a “tear drop”, which is the teardrop of Shiva.
In real life, Ardra must face storms of emotions where tears just come out.
When they cry, they will cry a storm and usually, it can be over very small things.
The cry is not normal; it’s a cry with a howl and scream.
Out of all the Nakshatras, Ardra is the most emotional and with deep feelings, but the reason why they have such feelings is because the world is supposed to betray those feelings, so the water inside turns into a fierce storm.
It’s in their karma to deal with tears; therefore, they make the best actors in front of a camera.
When Ardra native reads a letter, email or text message from past, they can have a river of tears flowing out of them.
The symbolism of the skull is the mystical and realistic side of Ardra.
A skull is actually one of the best tools for an Aghori in the cremation ground.
They use the skull for drinking wine. It may be sacrilegious for us, but we are too dumb to understand the scientist (Aghori) practicing this science of nature.
There is a logical purpose why an Aghori smears themselves with ashes and drink from skull or eat the flesh of the dead.
The skull symbolism shows that Ardra is not afraid of death and is curious about the world of mysticism, occult, tantra, and magic rituals.
Skull is also where the hair grows, and Ardra represents the hair of Shiva.
The controller of this Nakshatra is Rahu. All three Nakshatras of Rahu, which are Ardra Nakshatra, Swati Nakshatra and Shatabhisha Nakshatra, will have a lot of similar themes to them compared to other Nakshatra being ruled by a single planet.
Rahu is like Jupiter. All Rahu ruled Nakshatras love space, science fiction, astrophysics, the astral plane, fantasy and anything to do with the new-age technology.
Even though Ardra is a medicine man, but these natives are attracted to future technology.
Out of all the Nakshatras of Rahu, Ardra has the capacity to write a great science fiction book.
All Ardra natives dive into the fantasy of what is the world, how the world works, and what else is out there in the ether besides this blue planet, Earth.
Attributes of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
Ardra Nakshatra extends in Gemini (Mithun) from 6’40” to 20’00”.
When Surya enters Ardra, the Earth is said to be starting its menstrual course, that is, Ambubachi.
Ardra means wet or surcharged with water. Because the Earth is running her menstrual course, teardrops fall one after another.
From Rudra comes all suffering, persecutions and oppressions, anger, the ferocity of countenance or hideousness of noise. Rudra is another name of Shiva, the five-faced (Panchanana).
In knowledge, asceticism, renunciation, and enjoyment, he is the supreme consummation of all desires. He is a blue-throated one, the wielder of the tremendous powers, what could not be attempted, far less achieved by other Gods.
On one side, he symbolizes the perfect placidity and serenity; on the other hand, he is the symbol of all that is terrible. He holds the great serpent on his head and forehead crescent Chandra with his sweet-soft light.
At the same time, he is the most peaceful and the most terrible. And in all these are to be traced the intrinsic characteristics of Ardra.
Superficially, on the surface of it, Ardra stands for suffering, hardness, cruelty, murder, prison, theft, adultery, etc.
The root characteristic is oppression in order to purify. All male kidney troubles, connected urethral diseases and also uterine diseases of the females, come within the jurisdiction of Ardra.

#Ardra #Nakshatra, which is from 6°40' to 20°00' degrees in Gemini, is the sixth 6th Nakshatra of the zodiac as per #Vedicastrology. Ardra is fierce Nakshatra ruled by a deity called #Rudra. The ruling deity of this lunar mansion is a God who rules storm causes destruction and dissolution. Lord Rudra is often referred to as Rudra Rup (fierce form) of Lord #Shiva. He is essentially a form of shiva, a form often associated with violent activities. Ardra Nakshatra's symbol is a #teardrop and the word means 'wet' or 'moist'. This associates Ardra with wetness, dampness and liquids, along with their movement, flow and forms like vapour.

The association of Ardra Nakshatra with Rudra and watery teardrop signifies loss and disappointments. Lord Rudra the deity of Ardra Nakshatra itself signifies storm and natural catastrophes, the event which causes loss and disappointments. Therefore this Nakshatra connotes the process through which loss and disappointments may take place.

Ardra Nakshatra even rules diplomacy, self-centred attitude, cruelty, lawlessness, habits like lying and cheating and people who are critical by nature. This may have a link with the fact that Ardra Nakshatra is being traditionally associated with a lack of gratitude and a certain ill will (malice). Which deeply links Ardra Nakshatra with treachery and deception on the subject of business. Such a characteristic can be evident in Ardra native if this nakshatra is dominant in the birth chart.

One of the positive sides of Ardra Nakshatra is that having a presiding deity Shiva (Rudra) it eventually removes the cause of misery in life. This may make a person, who have seen the tribulations of life, more strong about his world view and may gain him the worthy awareness and knowledge of how much it costs to accomplish one's goals of success.

All the four Pada (Quarters) of Ardra Nakshatra falls Mithun Rashi, the zodiac sign of Gemini. The first Pada falls under Sagittarius Navamsa and is ruled by Jupiter. The second Pada falls in the Capricorn Navamsa and the third Pada falls in Aquarius Navamsa. Both these Padas are ruled by Saturn. Fourth Pada falls under Pisces Navamsa and is again ruled by Deva Guru Jupiter.

Moon in Ardra Nakshatra: As per Vedic astrology on the moon sign, if Ardra Nakshatra is a birth star it indicates a person of irritable nature, one who is ungrateful and troublesome. And a person who is prone to insincerity and addicted to wicked deeds.

#PurvaBhadrapada #Nakshatra in #Astrology
The other symbol of this Nakshatra is a man with two #faces, one looking forward and the other looking back. This is interesting because this means someone who can see the future and the past.

Another meaning of this symbol is a person who has two sides to him/her, who can be entirely two different beings. This person can be a totally different person at the workplace and absolutely different when they are at home with their family. It’s about two opposite sides that they reveal to the world.

This is a short cutting and intense nakshatra. #Ajaikapada Dev is the deity – the one-footed goat. However, this deity is a form of #Rudra, the storm god, representing the fiery nature of this nakshatra. This nakshatra is located in the constellation #Pegasus – the #winged #horse. The #stars relevant to this #constellation are ‘ #Markab and #Scheat’.

Markab is a star of success that deals with honours and achievements, and at the same time, this star can have sorrows. Scheat is probably one of the most challenging stars that deal with extreme misfortune. These stars indicate that there will be transformational events because people learn their hardest lessons through great sorrows and disappointments.

This is a nakshatra that really makes a difference in the world. People in this nakshatra cannot get away with their karma. In the zodiac wheel, Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra is connected to the Aquarius and Pisces signs.

#Ardra #Nakshatra in #Astrology
Ardra Nakshatra symbolises transformation. It is the “star of tears and destruction”. Its deity is “ #Rudra”, a fierce form of #Shiva. They achieve great fame after going through hardships. Ardra Nakshatra is ‘the star of tears and destruction’. It also symbolises transformation. Rahu is the ruling planet which is the north node of the moon. Another planet that governs this Nakshatra is Mercury. Its symbol is the teardrop which represents grief. The deity is none other than ‘Rudra’, a fierce and stormy form of Shiva. One can easily misapprehend Ardra natives because of their unique nature. Ardra natives can’t be understood by people who have finite beliefs about life. But it’s important to note that Ardra people are fascinating; in fact, it is beyond one’s imagination. They might look emotionless or unexpressive, but within them are unresolved emotions of pain and anger.

Rudra, being the young Shiva, was a loner. He would hang out in the crematorium, would smear ashes, play with serpents, and goblins were his best friends. Definitely, very unusual. Just like Ardra natives. Rahu creates a path for them to enjoy the flavours of different elements. Everything exotic, whether food or things, animals, and every single thing that is not easily acceptable in society. The eminent personality of this Nakshatra is Mike Tyson, whose pet is a tiger.

These natives are quite lucky. They achieve great prominence after going through an endeavour to overcome the intense form of sadness, anger, and pain. Since their childhood, they feel undesirable, and this is why they have a sense of abandonment. Their emotions are turbulent, and they very well understand that it can be damaging. Their bravery makes them achieve what they truly desire.

In the zodiac wheel, Ardra Nakshatra is connected to the Gemini sign.

#PURVA_BHADRAPADA #NAKSHATRA
#Fire #Snake #Ajaikapad

Let us firstly consider the lunar house, known as #PurvaBhadrapada. This is the home of the fire Snake who goes by the name of Ajaikapad.

The fire snake Ajaikapad, translates as the one footed power beast of fire, this snake is a form of the Storm god #Rudra, full of fiery rage and creative destruction.

When we attune to his lunar house of Purva Bhadrapada, we pass through the door of fire.

The word Aja in his name refers to that which is mystical and mysterious. Working with this star energy is really an investigation into the secrets of the heat of #Kundalini #Shakti.

One summons the fiery Kundalini Shakti of Ajaikapad by working with fire within and without. A candle flame upon the altar is a ritual gesture of summoning Ajaikapad.

Fire is the form that this serpentine energy of Ajaikapad takes. He is the fire behind the storm… just as lightning in a storm can result in fire.

A Flash in the Dark

Purva Bhadrapada translates as the origins of a beautifully terrifying step. The lesson of this lunar house is all about learning to see what the effects of our fiery emotions are, upon ourselves, upon others, and upon the whole spiritual energetic field of our existence.

What is fiery emotion?

It is emotion that either warms or burns. Fire can bring light and warmth, which can turn into clarity and nourishment. But on the other hand, Fire can consume, burn and destroy.

When we get an insight into the origin behind our fiery actions, we take a magical step into the uses of fire.

When we get an insight into the origins of our fire, the nature of our expression of fire is transformed to one of spiritual efficiency.

The Fire Door

To take a metaphor: we learn about the dial on the stove and the right amount of heat required for the cooking at hand.

Each act of cooking requires a specific use of flame.

Our handling of the inner flame can either nourish or burn, a chronically hot flame can consume everything including ourselves. But when we start to see the origins of our relationship to fiery force, then we start to take back our power over the dial on the stove of feeling.

This is the wisdom that this lunar house transports to us.

This nights ritual will be an investigation into the origins of the beautifully terrifying steps of our existence.

Taking Back Power

The fiery formulas of working with the lunar constellation of Purva Bhadrapada is a magical ritual work of inner and outer Mudra and Mantra in alignment with this constellation of the fire serpent.

One summons the fiery forces of emotion by accessing deeply underground volcanic latent energies. Things like, frustration, anger, tension are brought to the sacrificial altar of Yog for this ritual.

We will centralise fiery emotion with concentration and vision, and then feed the force into the Kundalini channel of the spinal serpent of fire.

When fire of emotion is expressed willy-nilly it disperses force, but when it is focussed and strategically applied to the centralised position of the fire serpent in the inner spinal channel, then it is nourished unto Kundalini Shakti Jagra.

This translates as the awakening of the primal psycho/physical serpent power of the human energy system. This the Tantrics refer to as Kundalini Shakti.
