#Uttaraphalguni #nakshatra is the 12th nakshatra out of the total 27 nakshatras. The deity God of this nakshatra is ‘ #Bhaga’, who is one of the 12 sons of Sun’s mother #Aditi.

Bhaga is the God of #happiness. This god is also referred as chayani #shakti, power is the giving of prosperity (through marriage or union). Its basis above is the wealth gained from one’s own family or from one’s partner. These together bring about the accumulation of #wealth.

In the #Rigveda, the personification of Lord Bhaga is attested primarily in RV 7.41, which is devoted to the praise of the Bhaga and of the deities closest to him, and in which the Bhaga is invoked about 60 times, together with #Agni, #Indra, the dual #Mitra- #Varuna, two #Ashvins, #Pusan, #Soma and #Rudra.

The 5th/6th-century BCE Nirukta (Nir. 12.13) describes Bhaga as the god of the morning. In the Rigveda, the Bhaga is named as one of the Adityas, the seven (or eight) celestial sons of Aditi, the Rigvedic mother of the gods. In the medieval Bhagavata Purana, the Bhaga reappears with the Puranic Adityas, which are by then twelve solar gods.

Bhaga God is referred Sauptika Parva of Mahabharata in which Rudra by anger plucks Bhaga’s eye when surplus shares of sacrifices were not shared correctly by Gods like Savitur, Pusha. Rudra cut of #Savitur hands and he took the teeth of the God Pushan

#Ardra is the name of a #nakshatra in Hindu astrology, the sixth depending on numbering scheme used. The Sanskrit name Ārdrā translates to “green” or “the moist one”. It is associated with the star Betelgeuse (α Ori). The presiding deity is #Rudra, its symbol is a #teardrop, and the ruling planet is #Rahu. In Tamil and Malayalam, Ardra is referred to as Tiruvātirai and Tiruvātira respectively.

Thiruvathira or Thiruvathirai or Arudhra Darisanam is a Hindu festival celebrated in the Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. In Thillai Chidambaram 10-day Festival is held during Thiruvathirai. On the 9th day night Maha Abhishekam will be done to Lord Nataraja. It takes place on the full moon night in the Tamil month of Margazhi (December–January) and this is also the longest night in a year. If you observe the moon and its Nakshatras crossing one by one, we understand the significant days of these festival and uncover new layers of meaning. It starts with Rohini‑Hyades on the 8th day, and of Mriga‑shiras‑Labda Orionis on the 9th day and finally during the night after the 9th day we see the full moon in #Arudra-­ #Betelgeuse.

Winter Chariot Festival is Margari Tiruvadirai that happens in the holy Ardra in the month of Margari. Margari being the month of the middle of December till the middle of January. It is same time during Winter Solstice, even Christmas is celebrated, and this is also the longest night in a year.

Most of the temples around the world with Lord Nataraja and Shiva as deity perform the Arudhra Darshan during this day.

Arudra or cosmic dance of Nataraja represents five activities — Creation, Protection, Destruction, Embodiment and Release. It is essentially a Shaivite festival and celebrates the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva, which is represented by the Nataraja form. Arudhra (Thiruvathirai in Tamil) signifies the golden red flame and Shiva performs the dance in the form this red-flamed light. Lord Shiva is supposed to be incarnated in the form of Lord Nataraja during the Arudra Darshan day.

Thiruvathira is the nakshatra or “ #star” of Lord Shiva as per the Malayalam calendar. It is believed that on this day, the Goddess Parvathi finally met Lord Shiva after her long penance and Lord Shiva took her as a saha-dharma chaarini (equal partner). Both Parvathi and Shiva present this ideal to devotees in the form of #Ardhanarishvara (half male, half female form).

The Skanda Purana also mentions that Brahmā once had an argument with Rudra, during which Rudra decapitated one of Brahma’s heads (originally, he had five). Rudra threw the head into space, and it became the stars of Mṛgaśīrṣā, the nakshatra which comes after Brahma’s Rohini. Searching (mṛga) for the head (śira), Rudra came to reside in the nakshatra next to Mṛgaśīrṣā, Ārdrā.

#Rudra is the teacher who teaches us
to contain, and to spiritually empower ourselves
with the Primal rage of existence.

#Ardra #Nakshatra is the lunar house of the raging god Rudra.

Destruction and Re-creation are both themes of Ardra.

This #Star is connected deeply to the #water element, #Green is the colour of Ardra, we can take this green colour to mean the growth that ensues after the moisture fertilizes the soil of the #soul.

It is the star #Betelgeuse in the shoulder of the hunter, in the constellation of #Orion.

This is the celestial warrior Orion, whose name is most probably derives from the Greek word Arion which means hunter.

Ardra actually means #moist. The symbol of this star is a #teardrop, a teardrop of emotion and the rains of life.

The lessons of this star is given by considering how the rains bring growth and life, while also considering how the rains can also flood and ravage.

Ardra also contains the word Rudra and is also simply called Rudra Nakshatra.

The rain of Ardra is a furious thunderous storm and not a sprinkling twinkling shower. The water of Rudra is not a sweet refreshing freshwater stream in the height of summer, but rather it is a tempest of crashing screaming waves in the bone splitting coldest and darkest corner of the ocean.

The Primal Scream

Rudra arrived in the world howling and roaring like comic thunder.

Rudra in fact, means the howling screamer. He was born androgynous, purple and wild.

Creativity takes destruction and combustion to ensue, like a cloud that opens its waters for the sake of growth and nourishment. Creation takes death and transition. Death is implicit in every act of creation. Rudra is that death.

Rudra is Shiva in his primal aspect. Rudra is the furiously red lord of Tantra who becomes the cool blue Shiva, after immersing himself in Yogic practices.

Shiva is the mastery of the raging Rudra energy. Shiva contains the root Shva, which implies death, calmness and stillness. Rudra brings the death of rebirth. Rudra is the transitional maneuver twixt the poles of tension and suspension. Rudra takes us from one state to another.

That becoming Shiva, is representative of the transition between storm and calm. Rudra to Shiva is the path of integration of the stormy forces of the heart.

Rudra is the teacher who teaches us to contain, and to spiritually empower ourselves with the Primal rage of existence.

When the storms of the heart are brought forth. Rudra can and does shift back from his Shiva state and unto his raging Rudra state of wild and destructive force.

We will now look at some stories that highlight this transition between Rudra and Shiva.

The Birth of Rudra

The stories tell us how the desire of the creator to populate creation gave birth to Rudra. This will be a simplification a longer more detailed tale, but we will bring out the most poignant points.
At first the creator had a desire to populate the creation. And so some children were birthed. But the children were so calm and detached, that they had any desire to do anything of the sort and refused to populate the creation. Instead, they wanted fly the starry sky in meditation of the great mysteries.
These were the 4 Kumar brothers who are perpetually young little boys, they never reach puberty and fly around the skies naked. They were not interested in the least about the creation, but rather just wanted to be left alone, so that they could meditate of the mysteries of the great beyond.
The creator became furious that these children defied his will. The creators anger built up in his third eye Chakra. A frown knotted his brow and built up to such an extreme, that it erupted as a storm. And so Rudra was born of the rage and frustration of the creators third eye Chakra.
Rudra was born bright purple, it’s significant that Rudra is a mix of opposites. He contains both male and female and the colours red and blue.
Rudra roared and screamed so forcefully that his rage threatened to erode and crumble creation. His rage was so destructive that it had the potential to create.

Rudra then exploded into half. He became Rudra and Rudrani the red. They further exploded into 11 furious forms and continued to populate creation.
Rudrani is the female half of Rudra. Rudrani finds her expression in her various incarnations of the Urga (fearsome) Devi’s (Goddesses). The fearsome goddesses such as Nrritti and Matangi are two such manifestations of Rudrani.
The male Rudra also has his incarnations, Hanuman and the serpent Ajaikapad, for example, are two of the manifestations of Rudra.

The Rudric forms that started to populate the creation were at the same time destroying it.
The creator told Rudra that there is a way to manage this destruction if he would do Yogic practices and Rudra was very interested in the proposal.. And so the creator taught Rudra the Yogic art and science of yore.
Rudra went far into the wilderness and mountains and there spent aeons mastering Tantric Yogic wisdom.
Rudra developed the Yogic wisdom to levels far beyond what even the creator had taught him or ever even conceived of. Rudra broke on through to the other side, far beyond the known borders of creation. That is his secret magic trick that he brings to us. Rudra destroys the known order, in order to create something yet unknown.

Rudra is the ultimate Yogi who works with the forces of destruction.
When Rudra came down from the mountain, he was Shiva.
He had worked with the malefic destructive force and appeared as the ultimate benefic mellow Yogi that is Shiva. Now the creation had another face and destructive force could be balanced.

Consider some of the key points of this story in the list below and meditate upon the symbol of Rudra going up the mountain and coming down as Shiva. What connotation could the upward and downward maneuver imply.

The calm firstborn children 4 Kumaras who had no desire for to populate creation.
The androgynous Rudra splitting into the male Rudra and the female Rudrani.
Rudra, going up the mountain to work in solitude with his anger.
Coming down the mountain as the calm Shiva.

The Outcast

Rudra is an out cast, he doesn’t see within the known bounds, this is the power that his star brings to us. The time-honoured conservative, along with his precious structures, is torn to bloody shreds by the bare hands that gleam in the starlight of Ardra Nakshatra. These be the Hands of Rudra.

The story of Rudra and Sati is a central Tantric tale that tells that the princess Sati was in love with the wild Rudra who lived in the wilderness. Sati was determined to unite with Rudra. This destiny of hers caused great storms with her father Daksha who was a highly honoured master of ritual and magical creation of forms. He was a royal king of high prestige, possess of profound pride stubbornness and arrogance.

Daksha was the ultimate patriarch who was concerned with royal appearance, dominance and prestige. Rudra on the other hand couldn’t care less for outer appearances, he was too far-sighted beyond the surface of the appearances of things. Rudra saw into the depth into a place where there was no form to cover the naked essence. Rudra is verily that deep essence. He has no need for anything because he has everything in his vision that sees the indivisible pure essence behind all forms.

Sati is the link between wilderness and propriety. She is the one who stands between the worlds of wilderness and propriety as we will see.
Sati had a hard time getting Shiva’s interest, as he was often deep in trances of visiting the realms of pure energy behind the surface of appearances. Locked in Samadhi, (meditational absorption) Shiva would sit on the earth but hardly be interacting with any of its endless infinity of forms. Sati did prevail in her wish to be with Shiva, and she joined him in the ways of the wilderness. They both stood far outside and beyond civilisation, Rudra initiated Sati ever deeper into the ways of nature. Rudra didn’t dress or wash or even comb their hair. His friends were the earth bond spirits and ghouls. Shiva indulged in ecstatic trance and kept warm by the fires of the funeral pyres where he would befriend the lost and wandering ghosts.
Sati was of high class aristocratic stock, but she found more jewels wealth in her time with Rudra. Sitting in Yogic wonder beneath the dark star-sprinkled night, Sati found real royalty.
But Sati wanted to do things properly and formally, and so she told her father Daksha that she would get married to Rudra.
Her opulent honourable father hated Rudra to the core. In Rudra, he saw his very opposite. To him, Rudra was a filthy outcast who didn’t know the appropriate way to behave in proper society. Sati’s father Daksha, time and again brutally opposed the marriage. This is an important point in the story that points to Sati’s role as the bridge between two worlds of the wilderness of Rudra and the aristocratic propriety of her father Daksha.
Sati prevailed and she brought Rudra Home. Of course, within moments, Rudra caused outrage and scandal.
In the royal court, Rudra was quite a sight to behold, naked with matted hair, accompanied by hoards of ghoul and ghost.
When Daksha entered his own royal court, everyone stood to acknowledge him as was the custom for such an esteemed dignitary as he. Everyone that is, except Rudra.
Insults and outrage ensued and Rudra stayed self-contained and walked away.
At this point Rudra had already been doing the sacred Yogic practices for aeons.

Hearts will Burn

Time passed magically in the wilderness for the two lovers, when one day Sati wanted to go and see her family, she had developed a profound disgust and hatred for her father. She had been the youngest favorite daughter but bitterness had ensued since her willfulness to go and live with Rudra the wild one.
Rudra tried to stop her from going as he knew what would happen, but of course the forcefully willed Sati went ahead anyway.
In the royal palace, argument ensued between Sati and her father.
Rage shook Sati as insults were hurled between her and her father. Sati shouted out at her father that all would witness how his arrogance, hate and pride will disgrace him, and that he shall forever-after be known as the epitome of patriarchal ignorance that resulted in his daughters death.
And so Sati sat down and prepared to say the Mantra which would cause her to combust into flames. Some variants of the story said she jumped into the sacred sacrificial Yanja fire. A Yajna is a ritual fire to which sacrificial offerings are given.
Sati burned to death right in front of everyone in the palace.

The shame and guilt of his youngest daughters death was on Daksha. But he was soon to meet a foe far worse than any of this.
The ghosts of Rudra informed Rudra what had happened, and his wrathful side was evoked. Rudra tore at his Jutta (locks of matted hair) and threw them on the ground in rage, from one of the Jatta appeared the giant Bhadravira, the potent force of Rudras rage, Rudra as Bhadravira charged the galaxies like a raging storm that went tearing its way through creation.
Meanwhile, in the royal palace, insults were hurled between ghost and saint. The storm clouds rumbled through creation and the royal assembly felt the terror in the pit of their bowels. When Bhadravira arrived in his raging form of Bhadravira, the full force of his primal screaming rage set lose, eyes were squeezed out of heads, wise old beards were yanked clean off the face, most probably with half the flesh of the face.
Pushan the milk drinking god had his teeth smashed out.
(Note that Pushan is the god of Revati Nakshatra, you may review the text here.)

Heads will Roll

Before going further with the story, let us consider the ruling planet of Ardra Nakshatra, which is Rahu. Rahu is the headless North lunar node as pictured above. He is considered as one of the Navagrah, (9 planets of the Yogins) Rahu moves out and forward and is ever consuming hungrily what ever he can. He represents the future and also the results of ones past actions. It is interesting to look at how the head symbolism plays out very strongly in Ardra Nakshatra. This will be our next line of study. But first a little more on Rahu. Though Rahu is often described as being male, he is also said to carry the energy of the ultra destructive feminine.
The destructive Goddess Nirrti carries a Rahu energy, she is the Goddess of Mula Nakshatra, she is a Rudrani.
You may review the text on that which was sent in the newsletter on the 24th of June 2021. (Please request it if you have not got it and wish to read it.)
Nirrti’s Nakshatra is ruled by Ketu which is the South lunar node, she is a destructive goddess who moves between the past and the future, she is Rahu personified yet works with the root and uprooting. Her Nakshatra Mula literally translates at the Root star.
Ketu represents the roots of the past, all things ancestral and of heritage.

Rahu are the ultimate Asuras, they were once one being that became divided.

It’s interesting also that Rahu is the planet that causes the eclipse of the sun by literally gobbling it down. Interesting because Daksha was the great solar patriarch who worked with fire in his rituals. He was a master at manipulating fire for magical purposes.
The name Daksha can also be taken to mean the great skillful manipulator.
We could say that the Rudra force of Ardra Nakshatra backed by Rahu, came and gave Daksha the result of his past actions of disregarding and insulting his daughters feelings and harboring hatred for Rudra, not to mention the rebound echo of beheading so many animals for the magical rituals in which he was engaged.
Daksha lost his head quite literally in the Story.

The Daksha aspect of Rahu is represented in the hunger and want of Rahu. Daksha is ever on the quest for more power and prestige. He is like the Rahu head without body, ever consuming and yet is never satisfied. The Rudra aspect of Rahu is the eclipsing of the fire and shading things into obliteration. Daksha along with his dear Yajna fire was obliterated. Sati as Rudrani combusted to a charred body without its previous glow.
This is what Rahu does, he is a planet that works on different octaves of eclipsing.
The story shows these different octaves of Rahu force in the form of Daksha, Rudra and Sati.

And so finally, for the grand finale, the head of Daksha was wretched screaming from his body and the headless patriarch was born. Some accounts tell that Rudra wielded the Moon sword known as Chandrahas, and decapitated the head from the body of Daksha.

Daksha was a master of ritual and was given to the sacrifice of animals for magical gain. There is such a branch of magic still in existence where the etheric force of sacrificed animals is gathered and put towards the fulfillment of the desired ends. Though it is a powerful form of magic, it carries rather costly Karmic consequences.
There are some parts of India where even orthodox priests still adhere to this practice to fulfill requests. Religion is a big business in India, one can pay for such rituals. Obviously there are other rituals that do not involve animal sacrifice. There are many types of practitioners that come under the title of a Tantric . Some are doing rituals for others, those in the line of teachers of the techniques are more on the side of teaching others how to do their own rituals. Some Tantrics believe they find loopholes to get out of the Karmic repercussions of actions like animal sacrifice.
Some of the branches of Tantra deal with healing and study of the soul, but not all branches do. Some of the modern Western branches of Tantra deal with drinking strong chocolate and masturbating their clients on a massage table while New-Age music plays peacefully in the background. The spectrum of what is considered Tantra is indeed broad.
Dasksha was of the side that indulged in ritual for material gain. He was a powerful manifester. His name in fact means he who is highly adept. Daksha is a Prajapati, which means he is one of the progenitors of creation. He it was who gave birth to the 27 sisters who are the Nakshatra’s. He was arrogant, haughty and proud. To him, beauty form and manners were paramount.
Daksha is the energy that cares for what people think.
Daksha is the energy that cares for facade and appearance.
Because of this love of external form and obsession with order and cleanliness, Daksha dispised the wild natural Rudra who lived outside the principles of convention.

It was the Daksha Yajna story that really highlights the meeting of the two worlds of raw natural impulse and exterior edifices of propriety.
The Yajna had invited everyone apart from Sati and Rudra. But Sati had gone anyway and as we have seen, met her end.
The story is very detailed and has many subtle meanings woven into its narrative, right down to the directions where the many events happen are poignant and give teaching of the qualities and powers of the directions.
We are here dealing with the main points.
One such detail of note, is that the Bhadravira form of Rudra could not kill Daksha so easily.
Daksha was protected by the rituals he had been conducting for aeons in his own place of power.
Rudra’s form of Bhadravira saw that there was one place where Daksha was not protected, and so he dragged the pitifully screaming Daksha to the place where he had been sacrificing animals. He placed Daksha on the sacrificial altar and…
Off with his head!

Off with his head!
Oh! but there are a few other heads that come off in the story of Rudra, there are several stories and variants of heads being withdrawn from their bodies when we look at Rudra. Note again the Rahu connection. Rahu also once had a body before his head sliced from it . He was once an Asura who drank the elixir of immortality. Vishnu steppers in and cut the head with his spinning Chakra weapon. The head and body were hurled into the celestial expanse, where the head became Rahu at the north of the Moon, and the Body became Ketu at the south of the Moon, forever they became immortalised at the cosmic shadows upon Moon and sun.

Let’s look at another head of interest that was dispensed from its body. The sacrifices of Daksha are known as Yajna. And Yajna is also the name given to the one who does the sacrificing himself.

Yajna saw the storming Rudra charge the palace in his Bhadravira form. Yajna trembled in fear and knew he had to escape. Transforming into a Deer, he leapt from the palace, but with the force of a steaming thunderbolt, the giant Bhadravira grabbed the head, yanking it clean from the body, he threw it into the starry firmament. That head became the Nakshatra of the Deer head. Known as Mrgasirsa Nakshatra. This Deer star is beside Ardra Nakshatra.

Mrgasirsa literally means Deer headed lunar house.

To review the writing of Mrgasirsa, you may refer to the text on the website with this link.

http://healinginthewillows.com/mrgasirsa

The events of this particular part of the tale occur in the Nakshatra of Ardra. This story gives us an insight into what the energy of Ardra Nakshatra represents.

A Time to Cry
On with the story!

After a sufficient amount of bodies were made headless. Rudra picked up the dead burned body of his beloved Sati and proceeded to freak out in primal rage and trample his way all over creation.

His tears do water the land. Rudraksh means the tears of Rudra. Rudraksh is a sacred seed that is carries a potent force, Yogins recognise many types of Rudraksh, the seeds have segments which are called Mukhi (face) each different number of faces on a Rudraksh gives it a particular quality and so different types of Rudraksh have different effects. This is a wisdom kept by Yogins. It’s a very detailed subject that assigns different types of Rudraksh seeds to different planetary forces and deities. Sometimes medicines are prepared from the beads in the Siddha secret medicine of the Yogins. There are many stories both written and unwritten that tell of how the sacred Rudraksha came to earth and it’s significance for Yogins. Let us consider one such story here.
The Tantric wears a bead necklace of 108 beads to represent the 108 tears that Rudra cried as he howeled his way through creation in utter distress, carrying the burned rotting body of his only love Sati.
Each time a part of the dead body of Sati fell off, Rudra wept a tear as she faded further from him.
Where his tears fell with the body part of Sati, that place became one of the 108 Shakti Peeths. The Shakti Peeths are places of magnetic power of the temples of the Goddess in her different aspects. Each Shakti Peeth carries a different power. For example, where the Yoni and the Womb of Sati fell, that place became the Shakti Peeth of Kamakhya Devi. Kamakhya Devi is the Goddess of menstruation and desire.
Kamakhya’s Shakti Peeth is located in Assam.
In some of the lines of Tantra, the wandering Tantrics wander the land in the footsteps of Shiva, and give honour to the Shakti Peeths.
For example, on the Moon of Bharani Nakshatra. Some Tantrics travel to the Kamakhya temple in Assam for connection to the mysteries of the Goddess. Shakti Peeths are astrologically aligned to the Nakshatra’s and transport their teachings.
Bharani Nakshatra is the lunar house of the celestial Yoni.

Water and Fire

Rudra is the storm god of water, we have seen how his Nakshatra is symbolised by a teardrop. The word Ardra means moist.
But Rudra also symbolises fire. The story of Rudra shows how he came in a storm to the royal Yajna of Daksha and took the still burning body of Sati away with him. There are some accounts that say that his houses and ghoul companions had pissed of the sacrificial Yajna fire and created noxious gasses that caused abject suffering for those who breathed them in.
This contention between Fire and water is very poignant to Rudra.
When a Nakshatra spans two signs between water and fire, then that junction becomes what is an own as a Gandanta point. It is a place of steam. Steam is rain, this is the steaming moisture of Rudra. A Gandanta point carries Karmic lessons and is a place of learning though the art and style of Rudra, often with tears and fire.
The whole movement of a Rudra storming into the fire ceremony of Dasha’s Yajna, is a portrayal of the Gandanta point. Rudra verily is the Gandanta point. He came in a storm and left with fire in the form of Sati’s still burning body.
It is known that Rudra lives in the cremation grounds where he warms from the funeral fires and befriends wandering ghosts. Rudra wears the ash of the funeral pyre, this is a custom that some Yogins still follow. Ash is the place where fire and water meet.
Let us look further into the implications of the fire and water that Rudra represents.

Rudra has two other Nakshatra’s that further point to the principle of him ruling the Gandanta points.
The 2 Bhadrapada Nakshatra’s of Purva (origin) and Ashadha (maturity) are the two Nakshatra’s of Rudra that are ruled by him in his form as the incarnations of the celestial serpents of fire and water.
The first serpent form of Rudra is called Ajaikapad who the fire serpent and ruling deity of Purva Bhadrapada. The second serpent form of Rudra is called Ahirbudhyana who is the water serpent and ruling deity of Uttara Bhadrapada. They are two aspects of Rudra, and are both the fiery and watery incarnations of Rudra.
In the human body the Gandanta points are called the Granthi’s. These are the psycho/physical knots where Karma is tied up. Rudra is the one who releases the Knot, He offers 11 incarnations, which are the teachings of releasing Gandanta. The Ritual work with Rudra of Saturday’s dark Moon will further develop towards the home meditation of working with the 11 faces of the Primal Rudra.
The primal Rudra is the primal rage.

Rudra and the Patriarch
This nights half descending Moon ritual
will be in lunar house of #ArdraNakshatra.
Also Known simply as Rudra Nakshatra.
This is the lunar house of raging
storming god of destruction.
The destruction we are talking of
when we address Rudra,
is not mere revolutionary reactionism,
but rather the force of full-on potent dissolution.

We can help each other by listening to each other.

Dear friends of the healing power,

We are now in the Pakasha (two week phase) of the father. This is the time of ritual Yogic healing of the patrilineal thread of ancestry.

Since time immemorial, this annual Lunar junction has been kept by Yogic culture to undertake the ritual work of healing the spirits and energies of the patrilineal thread of ancestry.

Patriarchy has become a tainted word
that is synonymous with
oppression and inequality.

Consider these questions if you will:

What is the the most dignified potential of the Patriarch?
What is the dubious deviation of the Patriarch?
Pondering such questions, obviously brings us to assess and consider the how and why of dignity and deviation.

What is the foundation of dignity?
What is the foundation of undignified deviation from the sacred heart?

The Wounds of the Patriach

The wounds of the Patriarch can cause more wounds to those who would oppose him.

The wounded Patriach is the sick King who rules perversely and spreads septic spiritual infections to those he oppresses.

The seat of the Patriarch has the potential to care.
His seat has the potential to fortify the
sacred heart of those in his domain.

An even brief glimpse as the that misdeeds of the Patriarch along the line of history will show the kind of disruption he leaves in his wake.

Consider just a few of the regimes of the last century. We also see what is in plain sight in the present, if we but look at the shadow cast by the hand without integrity.

The Patriarch cares not for integrity and,
by his own hand, loses everything,
all the while thinking he’s filling his sack with gold.

Water, Milk & Blood

There is a Tantric saying that is often attributed to the legendary Tantic Yogi known as Goraknath.

If you ask you get water
If you don’t ask, you get nourishing mothers milk.
If you take, you get blood

Water sustains, Milk nourishes but Blood is hard to digest and condemns one to a state of the living dead.

When no more blood is available to take, then the hand of the sick Patriarch withers in plain view.

Now think about these 3 energies of Water, Milk and Blood in terms of the 3 Gunas.

Gunas are the principles of nature.

Very simply put, we could say that to plant the tree and harvest the fruit takes action. Climbing a tall tree can be quite a feat.

Nourishing oneself from luscious fruit, balances us and connects us to earth, and then at the end of the day we shit the fruit out.

The tree once fresh and fruity dries up and goes barren in the winter.

Constipation is one of the deadly sicknesses of mind body heart and spirit.

The Patriarch is basically a constipated killer of the helpless, that he binds to himself through his sick power.

Blood Milk and Water
by the legendary artist Ciel Bergman
Here are listed the 3 qualities that are know as the Gunas.

Rajas – Action, life and birth.

Satva – Balance, joinery and nourishment.

Tamas – Tiredness, withering and decay

How can the patriarch be brought to a seat of dignified and noble power that expresses its force with compassion, humanity and integrity?

Excuse the expression please, but The Patriarch is well and truly fucked, and as a result of that, he is a fucker of the wound of fuckery that he tears out for himself.

He heaves his bloated bundle of fuckery up a hill made of the bones of those he oppresses.

Rudra Mudra
Potent Action of Heart

Rudra is the god of Rage who is infamous for his beheadings of the Patriarch!

The Tantric tales of the oral tradition are to be found scattered throughout the Yogic scriptures in written form

These are not mere stories to entertain, but rather, they are teaching guides about the intricacies of energy dynamics.

There exist several variants, but the stories tell of Rudra who is the king of rage, beheading his own father, and also his father in Law, and most probably a few others.

#Rudra inhabits his #Star #constellation of #Ardra #Nakshatra in the celestial sphere of #Orion.

When we ritualistically work with his Star, we work with rage and the themes of the father and child relation. This action is known as Rudra Mudra to the Tantrics.

This nights half descending Moon ritual will be in his lunar house of Ardra Nakshatra. Also Known simply as Rudra Nakshatra. This is the lunar house of raging storming destruction.

The destruction we are talking of when we address Rudra, is not mere revolutionary reactionism, but rather the force of full-on potent dissolution.

Rudra is the hunter of the Head of Patriarchy

Right next door to Ardra Nakshatra we have Mrigishira, which is the Star of the Deer head. Mrigishira is the star of the all-father creator god Brahma.

Another name for Brahma the creator is Mrigayu and this means a hunter and exploiter of the timid… the sick Patriarch in other words.

Now why is the gentle humble and timid star of the deer, the dwelling place of the exploiting hunting Patriarch?

The creator god Brahma, is well known for sexually hunting his daughter, hence the name Mrigayu?

The word Ardra literally implies ‘storm of tears’.

Rudra cleanly beheads the farther creator who oppresses and acts outside of the laws of integrity.

The story tells us of another sick patriarch named Daksha.

This Patriarch was known for executing ritualistic violence against animals, and also for his hatred against femininity and Women. So much so, that he caused his own daughter to combust because of his ridged narrow-hearted heartlessness.

She had warned him, but he persisted until her death.

The Patriarch is the destroyer of Love
and in the end, loses everything precious,
including his worthless head.

One chop is all it took for Rudra to separate head from body.

The Patriarch saw the raging storm of Rudra come screaming from afar, and assumed the form of a deer fled in terror.

Rudra means the screamer incidentally. And he made the sick Patriarch scream as head was shaved from off body.

Though the Patriarch was the pinnacle of prestigious pomp and a comander of the honour of his subjects, Rudra saw right through the facade, and like a head-hunting cascade of fury, he gruesomely decapitated the groveling governor.

Rudra is the vision to see
beyond the outer surface.

Rudra is the natural vision that sees the spirits of undignified Patriarchy that can infest the sacred heart.

Rudra sees the ghost and has a vision that sees way past the mannerisms and affectations of the host.

As the Patriach fled in fear from Rudra in the form of a deer.

Rudra got the head off the bloated body and tossed it into the celestial firmament, where it became the lunar house of Mrigishira, literally the Deer head star.

The Yogic teaching stories often tell of the Patriarchal grandfathers of creation and their misdeeds, such as we have seen in the above story.

The creator god Brahma attempting to sexually molest his own daughter is another tale that tells of a resultant head loss at the hand of Rudra.

For that stunt, Brahma lost one of his 5 heads. It was the one that looked up, and was connected to the subtle 5th element of Akash.

This story hides a code:

When we step into the seat of the sick Patriarch and use our power over those that we can oppress, then we sever the connection of the Crown Chakra.

Some variants tell of the body of the patriarch
getting a replacement goats head.
The Patriarch commits a whole hoard of atrocities against the feminine.

Womankind are hated by him. In fact, it could be said that the atrocities of the Patriarch are against the sacred heart.

He comes in many forms and lives in our midst, and perhaps even within us.

We have seen him portrayed in the tales above. We have read of how he indulges in everything from power driven animal sacrifice, to abuse and control.

Before we think that these atrocities are merely the stuff of stories, let us consider the rape, and pillaging of the Patriachal institutions.

Let us also consider the lingering astral tentacles of Patriarchy that we may carry even within our breast… the ones that strangle the sacred heart.

The story of one woman going up in flames in some old Indian scripture is no fantastical tale. It has been magnified in relatively recent times of mass-woman-burning by the hand of Patriarchal spirituality… These are real stories that pass the scent of burning flesh and boiling blood right under our noses.

Ruhu and Ketu
Be head or be body? Topless or Bottomless?

Beheading is symbolic of Rahu and Ketu.

Ponder on and review recent investigations into the North and South Moon axis to go further in to the subtleties of this story if you will.

We uncover the codes inherent in the teaching stories through meditation upon them.

Through meditation we open doors within.

Merely reading and scoffing down and consuming a few starry tales without them touching the sides of awareness, is for example to be in the spell of Rahu.

The spell of Rahu leads to decay. Everything simply passes through the bodiless, consuming, yapping head of Rahu

#Rahu is a big force in this realm called earth where we live.

Rahu is the consumer with nothing to give but empty promises.

Rahu is fast food and also eating fast.

Just by eating and moving slowly,
we delve into the secrets of Rahu and Ketu.
This is a deep Yog to folow and is worth doing
for the sake of the sacred heart
The Tantrics say: Yog Karoo.
It means: Do the Yog

In this Ritual, we will set the Head-Master in a place of dignity.

Those who wish to work with, and heal the father and child relationship are welcomed.

Those interested in healing the energies of the unresolved spirits of ancestral transference, inference and influence, are welcomed to this nights ritual.

Energies of the ancestors live as imprints that are passed down the line if left unresolved.

The moon nakshatra and ascendant nakshatra reveal our destined path in life.

#PurvaBhadrapada stands for occult behaviour and enigmatical wonders on the one hand, and sincerity, morality, and hope on the other.

This #nakshatra connects #Aquarius and #Pisces, indicating the end of everything and the start of out-of-this-world conceptions and experiences, respectively. Aquarius is the sign of humanity’s ambitions and technologies, representing the highest point of happiness and the height of sorrow, the best of both worlds. Pisces, on the other hand, is the beginning of a world of creativity and opportunities that hasn’t been fully explored yet

Deity #AjaEkapada is an #ancient #fire #serpent or #dragon, or #unborn, also a #one-legged goat/unicorn, that goes wherever it wants, Aja Ekapada a fierce form of #Shiva is also a mount of #Rudra, it is a one-legged black deity that rules over secret societies and clans and is therefore associated with all forms of black magic, according to the Vedas he is associated with flood, storm and light.

Its diverse mix of positive and negative traits makes it a fascinating nakshatra to explore. Despite its affinity for supernaturalism and occultism, the nakshatra exhibits sociability, helpfulness, pleasant gestures, and compassion. Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra symbolizes creation, destruction, compassion, and violence.

In spite of the fact that they value tradition, they are capable of undergoing change and adaptation. When Jupiter is afflicted, though, it can cause the native to withdraw from society and focus only on his or her own needs.

If natives of the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra are afflicted by certain planets, they may prove to be harmful and destructive. However, they may also find themselves the victims of socially destructive methods and terrorism due to their innate propensity towards the supernatural. They are also known for their dishonesty, negativity, and immoral behaviour, which is another one of their negative characteristics.

Favourable: Dangerous Activities, Uncertainty, Risk, Mechanisms, Technology, Funerals, Conclusions, Death, Agriculture, and Water

Unfavourable: Beginnings, Initiations, Marriage, Sexual Activity, Dealing with Higher Authorities.

Bridging these two signs is a profound experience in itself, as it enables individuals to reach for the highest hopes and fantasies of the world. Thus Purva Bhadrapada has a significant impact on a person’s personality and outlook towards life.

Symbolism: This #constellation is commonly associated with the shape of the “front legs of a funeral cot”, which some interpret as representing an exit or conclusion. As previously stated, it signifies the conclusion of all that we are familiar with. Furthermore, “the sword” is another emblem of this constellation, signifying a lasting severance or conclusion.
The nakshatra is often associated with the lion, which is also believed to be the powerful form and vehicle of the goddess Shakti, also known as Durga.

Translation: The former one who possesses lucky feet

Symbol: Front of a funeral cot, two-faced man Lord: Jupiter

Conclusion

Purva Bhadrapada is like a unicorn that embodies both magical mischief and good vibes, and a never-ending supply of positive energy. Well, apparently both Saturn and Jupiter are in charge around here. So apparently, in #Bhadrapada, they worship a one-legged goat named #Ajaikapada who is supposed to be a form of Lord Rudra. Looks like #Purva-Bhadrapada people are twice as interesting with their two-faced personalities. Watch out, you never know which side you’ll get! Ah, the classic tale of the two-faced side – one minute it’s your BFF, and the next it’s causing chaos and making you want to plot your revenge.

When #Jupiter is afflicted, residents may withdraw from society and focus solely on their own wants. As the nakshatra that bridges Aquarius and Pisces, Purva Bhadrapada marks both the final curtain and the opening act of extraordinary adventures. It is linked to the lion, which is also the fierce form and vehicle of the goddess #Shakti, also known as #Durga.

Purva Bhadrapada people are determined to succeed, but this drive can lead to self-harm.

The people of #Ardra #Nakshatra are endowed with the ability to work well and succeed professionally. People who are born under the Ardra nakshatra are seekers of knowledge and they continue to acquire knowledge from whatever source they can. Ardra means the power to attain gains by working hard towards it, and this nakshatra stands for transformation and destruction. Nakshatra signifies the carrying forward of some unfulfilled desires of the past life to the present life embodied in our subconscious.

The name Ardra means “wet” or “charged with water”. Individuals born under the influence of Rudra or Shiva are said to be Ardra. Shiva is known for his calm and placid nature and his concern for the well-being of the world, but he is also known as the “destructor”. He protected the world from the poison that was thrown out during the “Samudra manthan”, but his anger can bring about the destruction of the world through his “tandav”. Ardra people possess these characteristics in their core. They face many challenges in their lives, with many ups and downs, but they know how to deal with them. When they’re upset or sad, it’s best for them to stay connected with nature as nature has a healing effect on them.

#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

#Ardra #Nakshatra
#Characteristics male
The male native-born in the Ardra Nakshatra is the responsible kind. He has a general tendency to accomplish any given task at the earliest. The native, however, must ensure that he keeps this quality hidden if he doesn't wish to get overburdened in life. 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. However, they first need to be comfortable around you to bring out their funny side.

Profession male

Hence, these people do well in jobs that require a lot of thinking, such as writing, engineering, etc. However, the males born in this Nakshatra don't usually stick to one profession.

Also, these people are quick learners and thus able to adapt themselves to changing work situations faster than anyone else. It is good for these males if they work away from home, especially during their career-peak age, i.e. between 32 to 42.

Compatibility male
The male born in the Ardra Nakshatra may have delayed marriage. The delay in marriage is majorly due to you not being able to find a compatible partner. Any marriage that takes place before the age of 27 for you will bring complications, which may result in separation too. Compatibility should be the key when you go out to choose who you want to get married to and not the looks of the person if you wish to have a successful married life. In family life, you may feel like you are the most ignored one among your siblings.

Health male
On the health front, the male born in the Ardra Nakshatra may be plagued by some incurable diseases that he may have to face after he turns 34. Taking early precautions can help in averting any serious complications. Any symptoms that can leads to asthma, dry cough or hearing impairment must be well-tracked.

Characteristics female
The female native-born in the Ardra Nakshatra is a spending freak. And the one who isn't; badly wants to be. The general tendency is more dominant in Ardra women who have materialistic friends. When around friends and family, the women born in this Nakshatra are well-mannered and of a peaceful disposition. They don't like to indulge in arguments or fights as they are intelligent enough to beat you at your own game with just their intellect. Moreover, these women seek attention like a drug. A little attention from someone can make them weak. There are high chances that these people may have divorced parents.

Profession female
The female native-born in the Ardra Nakshatra loves to learn and thus will acquire knowledge in any possible way. As a female born in Ardra Nakshatra, pursuing a career in the research or scientific field will bring you both success and monetary benefits. Other fields suitable for females born in Ardra Nakshatra are electronics engineering or anything medical related. However, you need to be careful if you are interested in pursuing a career in business as it is easy to manipulate you.

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. You will have a romantic partner and good sexual compatibility. In family life, you will be much pulled towards your mother and then mother in law. Both of them will bring comfort to your life.

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. These ladies must also be careful of fire. There is also a slight chance of facing problems related to blood.
