#Hill-of-Tara
The Hill of #Tara has been important since the late Stone Age, when a #passage-tomb was built there. However, the site became truly significant in the Iron Age (600 BC to 400 AD) and into the Early Christian Period when it rose to supreme prominence – as the seat of the high kings of #Ireland. All old Irish roads lead to this critical site.

Natives born in #Mrigashira #Nakshatra are friendly, sincere, easily trusted, gain several friends, have a large social circle, attracted to romantic partners, chase things of interest, lover of travel, and enjoy exploring new places,
Mrigashira Nakshatra in #astrology is one of the Tiryaka Mukhi Nakshatras (or the #Nakshatras, which have their mouths curved). In these Nakshatras, things related to roads, dams, the expansion of metals, chariots, boats, etc., can be auspiciously begun and performed.
Symbol: A #Deer
The symbol for Mrigshira (Mrigasheersha) is Deer.
Deity: The #Soma
The deity of Mrigashirsha is Soma. Soma indicates a plant or a creeper. Soma is also one of the names of the Moon. Soma is a master of great mantras or chanting.
He is fast and sustains senses. He is the owner of wealth, food grains, and nourishment. The deity of this Nakshatra is also called Chandra or the Moon. Chandra means the one who shines or glitters. One more meaning of the word Soma is the one with a mate.
Characteristics of Mrigashira Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Mrigashira Nakshatra is a# female #snake, and the soul of this nakshatra is a #Cobra.
The natives of Mrigashira Nakshatra have a very similar attitude to a male snake but are more private, secluded and submissive. Just like the #Rohini snake, Mrigashira is all about eloping when given a chance.
They want to break all restrictions and completely fall in love. The Rohini Nakshatra is more about the pleasure and seduction but Mrigashira is about seduction, pleasure and falling deep in love.
Female cobras build a nest and remain nearby to protect it, but male king cobras try to avoid fights.
Mrigashira becomes extremely protective of their lovers, children, especially on the Taurus side of this Nakshatra.
There is still a strong foundation of material search and protection in their life.
The sense of sexual pleasure is extreme with both Rohini and Mrigashira Nakshatras.
When these two Nakshatras get along, there is an instant electrical charge of attraction, but at the end, Mrigashira wants more while Rohini, the male cobra, looks for another to mate with.
It’s a great dating relationship between the two Nakshatras, but not a long term.
There is always the caress and coil the other individual during love making, even crushing them.
The deity of this Nakshatra is Soma, the Moon God himself.
Soma is the #elixir, which gives devas #immortality.
The whole story runs about where Soma stole #Tara, the wife of #Jupiter, who was too busy with his teachings, rituals, and guiding the royal family.
The lonely Tara was seduced by Soma and eloped with him; and became pregnant with his child, who was the #Mercury graha.
This also created a huge scandal for Jupiter, who later accepted Mercury after seeing his intelligence and quick learning skills.
#Moon was always fond of Rohini and spent the most time with her, but he also had an affinity for Mrigashira.
Mrigashira Nakshatra natives, like Rohini, will either elope or have an affair with a person whom they will fall deeply in love with.
Women with this Nakshatra have the tendency of having premarriage children; even in a conservative society, they may get pregnant a few weeks before the wedding.
Mrigashira and #Pushya are two Nakshtras who always tend to either date or marry a partner having a child from a previous relationship.
In mythology, there is a chapter where #Shiva saved Moon (Soma) as he received his boon to have him wax and wane so at least he can be in full phase on one day in a month.
This boon from Shiva was given to him after much effort and prayers. Shiva was so impressed that he took part of the crescent Moon and wore it on his head.
The story of Moon leads to Mrigashira natives having an affinity with Moon, especially the crescent moon.
They will even draw crescent Moon subconsciously on a board in the class or at their work. Many people become fascinated with looking at Moon at night, be big fans of the Apollo program, which landed a man on the Moon, and crescent moon days are highly sexually active.
When we look at Soma, it sounds like a divine drink, which every one of us have looked or thought about at one point in our life.
In reality, these natives do not really get the elixir of mortality, but elixir to escape.
Mrigashira natives are prone to addictive substances like alcohol, drugs, etc.
It isn’t due to the fact they are looking for immortality, but looking to escape this mortal life.
They try to escape from this known consciousness to the world they came from.
This act is also not conscious because they are not trying to be yogis and practice spirituality; they simply do it subconsciously by using their current situation as an excuse, but it is this chasing of elixir that ultimately leads to realizing about spiritual knowledge.
This may happen while they are drunk and suddenly get some type of an epiphany.
When this Nakshatra is occurring in the 12th, 4th, or 8th house, this part of the Nakshtra is very active, most of the time you won’t find them as drunkards or substance abusers.
On the contrary, many natives are actually spiritualists.
Mrigashira Nakshatra connects the Earth element of Taurus to the air element of Gemini, which makes a big difference on the two sides.
One seeks the pleasure of earth or material resources, while the other seeks the pleasure of information to reach the final elixir.
The symbolism of this Nakshatra is a deer’s head.
Deers are extremely good with smells, run fast, gets spooked, constantly searche for food in the forest, run away as soon as they notice you and are highly reproductive.
Mrigashira people have a great sense of smell. They can smell a dirty diaper on a different floor in the house, they can smell a burning food, but they love the rose smell.
The crux of the smell is actually the deer’s musk, which has a wonderful fragrance.
Such people are fast in doing their work, they quickly get into whatever they need to do and accomplish, but also they get spooked very easily and have a hard time with darkness as their imagination goes wild.
Mrigashira natives run away from conflict, constantly search for something in their life, whether it’s the search for pleasure, or when it turns into search for God and, they are highly sexual with their mate.
Mrigashira is #Parvati, and #Ardra is Shiva; what we know about their story is that Parvati had to search for a perfect mate after rigorous penance when she finally found Shiva.
This shows that Mrigashira natives have to go through many failed relationships before they find their Shiva regardless of the gender whether it’s a man or a woman.
Most of the search that occurs for Mrigashira native is the search for a perfect partner.
This Nakshatra has a strong theme of running and searching, which is also chasing.
Mrigashira natives love chasing and stalking things, whether it is something they want to buy or someone they like.
They will always somehow stalk until they have them.
This Nakshatra strangely loves eating meat or exotic meat because it takes place in the searching path of a jungle.
Mrigashira and Ardra Nakshatras both have similar food tastes if they eat meat.
Attributes of Mrigashira Nakshatra in Astrology
Mrigashira Nakshatra extends from 23’20” in Taurus (Vrishabha) Rashi up to 6’40” in Gemini (Mithun). The word ‘Mriga’ represents forests, gardens, a search, a seeking to find, to roam about in the forests and a hunter, to seek, to blaze the trail, a guide, preceptor, an erotic affair, beauty of the countenance with particular emphasis on the radiant lustre of the face, because of Chandra.
Chandra is the Lord of the mind, so all mental attitude, good or bad, sympathies and antipathies, patience and impatience, the fidgetiness and placidity, imagination, the gift of poetry, purity, sweetness, and light, physical and mental aspects, all these come within this star and when things of sweetness and light of physic as also of the mind derivatives from Chandra. Corresponding to these attributes, the horoscope of Rabindra Nath Tagore (a famous Indian poet) comes to mind.
His Janma (birth) Lagna was Pisces (Meena) with Chandra there, and Guru was in Cancer (Karka) Rashi. Because of this yoga, Rabindra Nath had something like physical translucence, which was the object of admiration worldwide, wherever people met. Also, at the same time, his poetry enthralled the whole world.

UNRAVELING THE LIES THAT HOLD US BACK - #KERRY_CASSIDY & #TARA #CRETE TAKE THE DEEP DIVING FOR
#Saraswati #Mandir

Pushya – which means, quite literally the #nourisher. #Brhaspati ( #Jupiter) is #Guru to the gods and is the #deity of this lunar house. He is connected to wisdom, expansion and subtle thought.
Pushya is an auspicious star, that shines nourishment, prosperity and growth to us on earth. The Motherly Pushya Nakshatra is contained within the constellation of Cancer and has 3 stars. Pushya Nakshatra occurring on an ascending Half Moon is a powerful and auspicious placement that helps us to see into the consequences of the decisions we make. Pushya offers us the energy conducive to nourish new beginnings, decisions and opportunities.
The #Star #Goddess #Tara has her #Jayanti (annual commemoration) upon this night of nourishment. Tara appears only at night, just as her name which means Star implies.
Tara has the wisdom of converting poison into nourishing medicine. She feeds us with the healing blue twilight milk of her celestially starry breast. Hers is the twilight milk that dissolves the sharp definitions between dark and light, safety and fear, seen and unseen.
The story tells us that when the mighty Shiva suffered great turmoil for drinking the Halahala poison. Out of maternal compassion, Tara fed #Shiva from her breast with a generous helping of healing Starry #Moon #Milk.
Brhaspati is the planet Jupiter. He is the Guru to the gods. He is the deity of this lunar house and is connected to wisdom, expansion and subtle thought.
Pushya is the amplifier, Pushya as an adjective indicates someone who is well nourished, healthy and rosey-cheeked like a well fed baby.
Brhaspati knows which things give nourishment and which things do not. Brhaspati sees into the subtle underlying forces of the phenomenal universe and knows and shows exactly which things are magically reflected back by the decisions that we take. When we look at the meaning of his name we see this principle at play, Brhas means that which nourishes and magnifies, Pati means master. So literally Brhaspati is the master of that which nourishes, magnifies and increases.
In this Nakshatra,
Brhaspati brings us this very teaching,
giving us the vision
of the mirror of nourishment.
The mirror of nourishing force might be smeared, if so, it won’t fully reflect things back to us. If the mirror is pristine then it reciprocates that which is given into it. Nourishment is like this. We could just as well say, if the soil is well tilled and receptive, then it will give back of the seed that we sow there. If the soil is hardened and strewn with rocks then the seeds will fall into a barren death.
We sometimes put our energy into things where nothing comes back to us. If we focus our concentration and go into the subtle underlying forces of the phenomena of our lives, we might get closer to the vision of what we are actually feeding. The reasons we might be feeding some things that do not nourish us is a lesson of the highest magic, this is the investigation of the Tantric. Nourishing dead soil naturally leads us into a life of malnutrition. If the soil fertilizes the seed then we have harvest. Harvest starts on the subtle planes and manifests into the tangible.
A TIME TO DECIDE
Pushya is the magical milk of nourishment. The lunar vessel on the night of Pushya is half full with the illumination of Moonlight. The Moon will be beaming the rays of Pushya to us on earth on this coming half Moon. As it is the rising Moon, it will continue to expand the psychic action and decision we take upon this night.
This is a most favourable position
to give an impetus of growth
to our visions and decisions.
The half rising Pushya Moon brings an impetus of nourishment that can profoundly support our human undertakings. This Nakshatra is aptly symbolised by a milk-filled fortifying cows udder and a lotus flower in the height of bloom.
The Pushya Half Moon is a good time for new undertakings and making clear resolutions of the stray and fraying edges of the psychic fabric of our being. The lunar energy on the half rising Pushya Moon, reveals, two roads of our destiny in stark distinction. It is a time of thinking soberly about where we are going and perhaps even seeing into… what the outcome of our endeavours could really be.
Pushya pours milk-like nourishment and fulfilment into the infancies of our visions upon earth, it is a mothering star for this reason, who like a mother, gives flesh, form and nourishment to the infancy of any vision and undertaking. Those new ventures undertaken on a Pushya full Moon can bear great fruit and success if one continues the ever attentive work of nourishment.
LIVING OFF THE FAT OF THE LAND
The lesson of Pushya Nakshatra is all about developing the awareness of nourishing the opportunities we receive. There might be opportunities around us that we don’t always see. There might be openings that we are not able to recognise as doorways to power.
There is an old Indian teaching story of a person wandering in a dark labyrinth-like place. They went round and round, ever and always looking for the doorway out of their prison, but each and every time they actually reached the door to their freedom, the draft that came in, caused a moment of distraction in which they scratched their head, and so they ever missed the way out and continued in eternal circles.
It is perhaps easy
to take our health, successes
and opportunities for granted.
Even if our receivings are generous, they dwindle away if the law of nourishment is forgotten. What is that law? Perhaps the work of a good earning is never to be taken for granted and one must remember that the soil must be eternally nourished and tilled. Perhaps we are brought to question our notions of wealth by the Pushya star constellation.
If we realise that there is no resignation or retirement in magical matters of growth, then we might be spared from psychic death. Living off the fat of the land and laying down one’s tools is perhaps the biggest and most crippling of all
THE #LOTUS IN #BLOOM
Pushya also carries another law of nourishment to us by its rulership over the lotus flower. The law of nourishing by halves is implicit in our lives. A period of exertion is naturally followed by respite. Living by the sun is replaced by the nightly retirement into the darkness.
This law of dualisms is starkly reflected in the being of the lotus flower. A flower held in high esteem by the Yogins. The Lotus is a flower with far-reaching roots that gains her nourishment from deep dark of marshy subterranean places. The lesson and law of nourishment by the way of polarity is inherent in the Lotus. This flower is greatly prized for its beauty and honest and generous teaching of the laws of reality. The Lotus flower spreads magnificence and emanates an aura of an almost otherworldly beauty. This mystical bloom shows us how it’s beauty and nourishment comes from the underground of dark, womb-deep places. The precious Lotus flower that spreads her colour and scent in the visible world obeys – perhaps like no other – the law of nourishing by polarity. The Yogins tell us time and again to be like the Lotus flower.
Pushya is the deep introspective study
of the Lotus flower…
so magical and so natural.
THE PSYCHIC WEB OF KARMA.
Pushya is regarded as the lucky star, but luck is dependent upon the actions that we take. What is luck exactly? The luck that Pushya offers us is conditional upon the choices that we make and the energies that we nourish. A bloom is a thing of beauty. Throwing seed upon wintery granite grave and hoping for luck to bring us the beauty of a blossom growth is obviously an act of absurdity. The same seed cast upon fertile moist soil in spring is far more likely to result in growth. We see in this way that what we might term as luck, is dependent on choices of wise vision.
Karmic effect
is the manifestation
of a resonant energy field
that lives in the psychic hemisphere
of our being.
When something involves us and touches all the aspects of our being then it becomes a web that catches the phenomena of our lives. Tantric ritual practices work with the principle of the psychic web of energy, by attempting to engage the full range of our being, both the unrevealed and revealed parts of ourselves.
The law of Karma is often summed up as ‘what you sow you reap’. Karma is not as simple a matter as to reduce actions to a moral code of obedience, that is punished or rewarded according to the degree of abidance or deviation.
Karma lives in the very psychic realities that we align ourselves to. Some of what we align to might be out of sight and invisible to us. The Tantric process of making the invisible become visible, then becomes a way to navigate beyond the psychic webs of Karma. What lays beyond the webs of Karma is unknowable while we are within the web, we are dealing with a great mystical voyage.
The psychic karmic realities that are we aligning to, become the investigation of Pushya.
Karma could aptly be described as a magnetic psychic web.
What kind of web are we weaving?
Perhaps we are the spider and the fly?
Are we catching life of death?
Or perhaps a little bit of both?
SMEARS ON THE PSYCHIC MIRROR
What are the reasons why we might be feeding dead soil and therefore reaping a desolate harvest? Might it be based on the illusions that we have taken in? These illusions are called the Granthis by the Tantrics. Granthis are like smears on the psychic mirror of the self. It is these smears that cause the reflection of life to be reduced to obscure knotted forms.
Brhaspati (Jupiter) is the Guru of the gods and he is a strict discriminatory force. He is most generous indeed but he only gives to those who meet his subtle psychic standards.
Shukracharia (Venus) is the opposite of Brhaspati. Venus is the Guru who gives generously and indiscriminately of his riches. This is why he is the chosen Guru of the Asuras.
The Asuras are the beings of dualistic destruction. Very often we see that the Asuras are described as demons, but this does not at all translate correctly what the Asuras really are and carries too many foreign connotations to be accurate. Venus gives us prosperity, joy and pleasure in an earthly sense (Shukra in his name literally means the essence and seed). Venus spreads out and down and is received by laying down. Jupiter on the other hand moves up and out and takes the opposite action to gravity. In other words…
…to reach the levels of Jupiter,
it takes a psychic climb
through the winding
labyrinths and stairways
of the mind.
POLISHING THE MIRROR
Brhaspati (Jupiter) is reached through psychic Tapasya (effort). Tapasya could be called the polishing of the Psychic Mirror of the self.This is the effort to go beyond the frontiers of consciousness and towards the ultra-terrestrial potentials of the psyche.
Brhaspati is the master of magical ritual formulae. It is he who leads us beyond the limits of consciousness through his penetrating force within magical ritual. He is the Jupitarian high-priest with the magical wisdom that transforms the subtle layers of reality… which in turn change the experience of reality itself. He is the doorway keeper to the mysteries beyond the known, his conditions take the work of undoing and outdoing oneself. Unlike Venus who gives it for free.
Pushya brings a blessing of vision to us on earth. That blessing is the ability to make the right decisions. There are other Nakshatra’s that bring us different lessons pertaining to nourishment. The Yogin studies the lessons written in the stars, by tuning into the celestial forces through ritualistic formulae and devotion.
In conclusion, Pushya’s particular lesson, as we have seen, is very much concerned with finding the distinction between that which nourishes and that which does not. One of the symbols of this Star is the cow’s udder. This is the naturally most nourishing place for the baby. The soul that finds the nourishing breast in all arenas of life, becomes the baby, nourished by Mother Nature.
#AchiChokyi is #Tibetan (ca. 1000s) but she is proficient enough in #Sanskrit to respond to the name #Dharma #Tara.
She is powerful enough that she composed herself into #sadhanas. And these were so powerful that this was the experience of H. H. First Karmapa (called Druptop here):
...the sound of a #damaru [resounded] from the sky and the melodious voice of a ḍākinī arose. Druptop asked the Lord of the Dharma (Chos rje) how this could be, [and] he replied, “The voice which arises is a Wisdom ḍākinī, my Grandmother.”
Druptop insisted, “What is her sadhana like? How is [her] practice done?” ] Because of that [Jigten Sumgon] bestowed many extensive sadhana and the fifteen chapters [of] the Precious Diadem in the Sadhana Cycle (Sgrub skor rin chen cod pan le’u). Druptop said, “Having reviewed the oral transmission with earnest, the essence [of the] goddess (hri ma) rose up from the sphere of reality, [and I] perceived [her] with divine sight from the sphere of wisdom.
Departing from the behavior of many of #Tibet’s mundane, oath-bound protectors, however, Achi takes multiple roles, making her an interesting point of departure in this category. According to at least one sadhana, besides being taken as one’s dharma protector, she can be taken as one’s inner-most secret lama (gsang bla ma), one’s inner yidam (nang ltar yi dam), or one’s secret ḍākinī consort.
She did not perish in a usual way:
...she flew into the air on the back of a #blue #horse, accompanied by a #small #dog, and departed for the #Pure Lands.
#Thornborough #Henge in North #Yorkshire, aligned with the stars of #Orion's Belt. It's not as well known as the prehistoric sites in the south of England, maybe too far up north for some!
an old site,on the same latitude as #newgrange and #tara, as well as the ilkley moor circles etc ...another impressive yorkshire site..
"...i have been researching challenging alignments with stars in the lower frequency red end of the spectrum, as a bad astro-weather alert
..time to look at the high frequency blue end as a counterbalance
..NEPTUNE will move back and forth through parallel with the blue white stars of ORIONS BELT, whilst also aligning with 2 blue/white stars of PEGASUS...a more spiritual influence, the etheric cavalry in dire times(hopefully)
..this will start spring 2023 until 2027
..the last time this happened was 1860-1864, which marked a peak of interest in SPIRITUALISM
...the movement was becoming more active in London from 1860. The Capital’s newspapers were filled with articles surrounding spiritualist lectures and advertisements for public séances.
..this interest was exploited by those interested in material gain, but there was at least a marked interest in the realm beyond the physical..
..this time around, blue/white star MINTAKA has moved closer to the equator and exact east rising star.. so i expect things to move up a gear, especially as the interest in spiritual matters is already widespread..
..watch the 3rd eye tv, and astral dreams, for more signs of this😇 "
