#Rohini #Nakshatra is the fourth of 27 nakshatras. If you were born when the moon was between 10:00-23:20 degrees #Taurus
#Sanskrit Name: रोहिणी (Rohini). One meaning of Rohini is “the red one,” indicating beauty, passion, and a unique charm.

Planetary Ruler: #Moon. In #Vedic theology the moon is considered a manifestation of the #mind #of #God. It is associated with creativity, the mind, and the emotions. The moon is especially significant in Vedic astrology, where a person’s sign is considered their moon sign.

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

Zodiac Sign: Taurus. Taurus natives are light-hearted and likeable individuals fond of sensual pleasures. They are reliable, obedient, and generous.

Deity: #Brahma. In Vedic theology, Brahma is the deity tasked with the creation of our universe. He is the head of the Brahma-sampradaya, the succession of spiritual gurus who have passed Vedic knowledge down since the time of creation.

Symbol: Oxcart or temple. This represents firmness, tradition, religion, and focus on nature.

Power: Growth. Those born under this star are natural creators. They are gifted at preparation, instigating growth, and healing.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Rohini are Oh (ओ), Va (वा), Vi (वी), and Vu (वु). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Rohinis stand out for their creative abilities. Taurus is ruled by Venus, and the chemistry between the moon and Venus in this nakshatra results in an incredible creative ability. You are artistic, intelligent, and your creative side helps you initiate a variety of projects.

Cool-headed individuals who rarely get swept away by emotion, Rohini natives are steady and dutiful in the execution of their responsibilities. You can be counted on to speak honestly and insightfully. You are drawn to nature for its beauty and simplicity, and, like the earth itself, you provide a stable foundation on which great success can be built.

Your likeable and easy-going nature makes you easy to befriend. You don’t make things complicated and others appreciate you for that. Gentle, kind, and compassionate, you often put others before yourself. Your charisma and your attractive features ensure that you always have romantic possibilities.

Rohini Careers
Rohinis are reliable and steady workers. Your clear thinking and trustworthiness make you an ideal candidate for positions of authority, but you are also invaluable in supportive roles.

Some ideal professions include:

Politician, financial adviser, banker, or accountant
Artist, musician, actor, or dancer
Beautician, model, or fashion designer
Physician, alternative health practitioner, or nurse
Agricultural worker, farmer, or real estate agent
Weaknesses
Taurus is the sign of the bull, and like the bull you are steady and down-to-earth. However, you also manifest the bull’s obstinacy and stubborn nature. Once your mind is made up it is very difficult for you to change it. This can make you close-minded, refusing to accept information or ideas that don’t fit in with your beliefs.

You are fond of your pleasures, whether that pleasure comes from things or relationships. This can turn into possessiveness if you allow yourself to get too attached. Material luxury appeals strongly to you and you can get too swept up in your endeavours to attain it. You may forget to consider the cost of what you are sacrificing, and whether or not the sacrifice is really worth it.

You like to be liked and you like to get ahead in life. You usually achieve both of these things, but the way you do it can be questionable. You can be opportunistic and self-serving, and may use seduction and manipulation to get your way. You are good with people and capable of getting what you want from them, but use this ability with caution.

Other Personality Traits
You are sensitive. Your connection with the moon and the soft, feminine nature of Taurus means that you are attuned to the emotions, the mind, the heart, and other subtleties of human nature. Your sensitivity to others makes you especially skilled at dealing with people, but you can be overly affected by their words and actions.

You will probably be well-educated. Thanks to your intellect you enjoy and excel at academics. You will probably attend higher education, and you may get your degree from a prestigious school.

You are spiritually-inclined. Spiritual growth is the primary, innermost motivation of this nakshatra. You are drawn to spirituality and religion and are a person of strong faith and devotion.

You have a pleasant voice. You could excel as a singer, a profession that you would enjoy for its creativity and the attention it brings. Even if you don’t sing, your speaking voice is soothing to listen to.

Your are successful and fortunate. Your lot in life is a fortunate one. According to Vedic lore, Rohini and the 26 other nakshatras are the wives of Chandra, the moon god. Rohini is his favorite wife. Therefore, Rohini natives experience more good fortune than most. Rohini is considered the star of ascent — you will likely rise to prominence in society and fulfill many of your desires.

Rohini Compatibility
Rohini sexuality is symbolized by a male serpent. In terms of physical compatibility, this makes them an ideal match for persons born under Mrigashira nakshatra.

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

Krittikas in Taurus
Mrigashiras in Taurus
Uttara-phalgunis in Virgo
Chitra (for male natives)
Chitras in Virgo (for female natives)
Vishakha
Jyeshta (for female natives)
Anuradha (for male natives)
Uttara-ashadhas in Capricorn
Dhanishta
Purva-bhadrapada (for female natives)
Note: Compatibility in relationships is a complex science that looks at many different factors. You should always consult with an experienced astrologer who can carefully analyze the charts of both you and your partner.

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

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

First Quarter (10:00-13:20 degrees Taurus): Aries. You are courageous and more inclined to leadership than other Rohinis. You are not afraid to stand up for what you believe in. However, you are short-tempered and can indulge excessively in material pleasures, especially sex.

Second Quarter (13:20-16:40 degrees Taurus): Taurus. Artistic ability abounds in you and everything you do has a touch of artistry. You are attractive in appearance. Your manner is self-controlled. Although you appreciate the finer luxuries of life, you rarely get carried away in indulgence. Intelligent and curious, your knowledge covers a wide range of subjects.

Third Quarter (16:40-20:00 degrees Taurus): Gemini. Communication comes naturally to you. You are a skilled speaker, writer, and conversationalist. You are flexible and don’t get upset when plans change — you understand that change is part of life. You have a sharp intellect and your observant and shrewd nature gives you keen insight into whatever situation you find yourself in.

Fourth Quarter (20:00-23:20 degrees Taurus): Cancer. You are intuitive and make decisions best when you follow your gut. Family is very important to you, and you prioritize your family over other things in your life. Material success comes naturally to you — wealth will likely come your way, if you were not already born into it. However, your attachment to what is yours can make you possessive.

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

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

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

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

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

Characteristics of Rohini Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology
The animal symbol of Rohini Nakshatra is the #male #snake. If you learn about the behavior of a male snake, you will learn deep insights of this Nakshatra.
The most dominating feature of a snake is its ability to get the attention of anyone and everyone, from a monkey on trees to bystanders in the park.
There is fear, anxiety and fascination associated with the serpent. If a monkey was seen in a park, it would get some attention, and people would think it is cute, but a snake just gets the attention of everyone.
Rohini natives know how to draw attention and have a natural instinct to attract people.
These natives fascinate people by their ability and attract attention with their eyes.
A snake has the most intense eyes, especially when they shed their skin. Snake has the most intense and unusual eyes.
Rohini natives usually have beautiful eyes, they may not be stunning to look, but somehow you will fall for their eyes once gazed upon.
The other distinct feature of a snake is its venom and ability to inflict poison.
It is incorrect to think snakes are always there just to inflict poison no matter what.
Snakes generally ignore and are scared of people and only inflict poison when threatened or hungry, but the snake will not consume humans for a meal unless forced upon them.
Rohini native will be extremely friendly, fun and have a unique sexual attraction but do not mistake that for being weak and if pushed upon or challenged, they will inflict poison and seek revenge.
Snakes are also known to be aggressive mates. There are snake orgies, snake killing and fight over other snakes for mating.
When a snake is seeking a mate during the dry season, it’s like a hungry serpent they must mate. Rohini natives. when in a sexual mood, will easily attract a mate and, if afflicted by malefics, can even lead to too many affairs.
They will also always have to fight with another person to get the attention of the person they are trying to go after.
One time in their life, they will have to deal with some love triangle.
Rohini natives are to be the most sensual during love making because a snake can mate for up to 3 hours at a time; such people are able to completely enjoy sex and give sexual pleasure to their partner to a point, where their poison of intense love can ruin a person for life.
Any person with whom they have a one-night stand or even a short relationship will always have the most intense sexual memory of the Rohini native.
Just like a snakebite, which a survivor can never forget, a Rohini’s bite will also not be forgotten, whether it was a one-night stand or a few weeks of dating and will be something unforgettable with a lifelong impression.
Snakes are gifted swimmers. Rohini natives can naturally learn to swim even without coaching.
They just have this natural ability to move the body in water. This also leads to one becoming a great dancer.
A male snake will always have to shed his skin 4-5 times a year, and if we relate this attribute to a Rohini person, they will have dry skin, which always comes off, but the shedding of the skin also has another meaning.
These people can change their personality, behavior and attitude at a given moment and become whatever they want when they desire something.
The element of Rohini is to grow crops on the Earth. Our planet was a barren land a few billion years ago, but now there are high risers, fast cars, clothes, delicious food, entertainment and wealth.
Rohini is all about growth in the material world. They always try to attain the best and most original resource of this planet.
They will never wear cheap or fake jewellry. They want real diamonds, gems, gold, and all resources of this Earth. Anything Rohini touches starts growing.
Rohini is one of the best Nakshtra to launch business alongside Pushya and Swati.
These natives are pleasure seekers. They know how to extract and nourish themselves with the best-hidden resources.
They love fine wine, Michelin star restaurants and best quality cigars.
Rahu in Rohini can go to the extreme of finding pleasure in the world and actually attain it.
The element of Rohini is Earth. It is in the middle of the Earth sign in astrology, Taurus.
Earthly things are everything you and I experience, whether it is sadness, happiness, obsession, fame, money, spouse, sex, children, security or learning.
The Nakshatra devata is Brahma, the supreme creator aka Prajapati.
He is the God who created man, space, planets, and everything we know.
In creating this beautiful world, he not only had to create other souls but needed to mate to procreate.
When he created so-called daughter Dawa, a beautiful woman, he approached her to mate, which was simply a part of the divine plan.
He ran after and chased her as she refused to do such an act with a father like man.
The other Gods that had been created by him were angry at this act of incest.
The problem is we need to understand this concept in a deeper form. The only reason Brahma chased his daughter is due to him looking and protecting her, which is why the 5th head of Brahma appeared; hence, the 5th head represents illusion.
The Rohini native always tends to get chased by other lustful men or women.
They always attract the opposite wherever they go. This doesn’t mean that Rohini natives will have incest with their father.
As a child, Rohini natives will be chased by their parents in a fun game, but on the other hand, Rohini natives themselves can chase and stalk their prey.
When afflicted by malefics, beauty, resources, and attention can fuel Rohini’s ego, jealousy and possessiveness.
Rohini native can attract and kill the prey.
This theme plays out due to the fact that Rohini was the favorite wife of Moon out of all the 27 wives.
As a result, Jyeshtha, her eldest sister, got jealous and complained about this fact to their father, Daksha, who cursed Moon to wax and wane, causing to gain and lose his brightness over a month period.
There is a saying, “Rohini is the queen, Purva Phalguni is the courtesan”.
Moon is known as the queen in the planetary kingdom.
A queen has no love of life for the king; she was simply someone who bought two kingdoms together and had a huge political influence.
On the other hand, it was the courtesan who gave true love to the king, taught his children, showed him romance and showered the sensual love.
She wasn’t a prostitute as we think today, and infact, they were highly qualified, educated and spiritual.
A Rohini native seduces you, but after their seduction, they want to leave as they have conquered you. Phalguni, on the other hand, wants to truly please you and show you what is love.
Both are sexual and romantic, but one has the element of seducing like a prey, and other, seducing like a lover.
If you saw someone with a Rohini Lagna or Moon and said, they have these qualities, you can be flat wrong. However, if the Moon or Lagna is getting impacted by other planets with Venus and Mars posited in position of seduction, then it will be working out like a Picasso painting.
Rohini is Yakshini, Phalguni is Romance. A Yakshini, other dimensional being, who is set to be one of the workers of Kubera, can be invoked by certain tantric practices and will show themselves to you on the 8th day, etc., at a certain place.
They tend to seduce the natives and fulfil their wishes. Their whole agenda is for seduction and giving wealth by making some kind of trade.
Rohini natives are excellent lovers in bed. They can go longer than anyone, just like Magha or Purva Phalguni.
They also love the color red and pink as these colors symbolize romance.
Their power of seduction makes them very elegant and sophisticated when it comes to public life.
But there is a Nadi technique that says when two planets are hemming a Nakshatra between them, that Nakshatra is most prominent for the person.
If Saturn is in Ashwini and Jupiter is in Krittika, that means the person will behave like Bharani in their life, especially during Saturn-Jupiter or Jupiter-Saturn dasha, but the person will always experience the traits of Bharani.
The symbol of this Nakshatra is the chariot. This clearly shows that Rohini natives will always be into cars, working on cars, traveling and wanting to move in luxury.
Rohini native attains a luxury car, and their growth in life starts.
This also shows their ability to steer through difficult situations. They are quick thinkers when it comes to solutions.
Due to quick-wit and thinking, Rohini natives are excellent writers and speakers because Moon rules this Nakshatra.
Moon is a very addictive planet and desires to get what he seex, which is why it got him in trouble in first place.
They develop an addictive personality towards gambling, sports betting, and the probability of winning in an auction is high for them.
They beat everyone to get something that no one else could have. Moon wants to be with anyone in the sky at his will, give him a reputation of a cheater and this cheating can turn towards plagiarism.
Rohini individuals may take someone else’s idea, make it their own, and find success from it or can innocently hear some idea from others and quickly react to it.
One important observation is Rohini native’s children may be unmarried for a long time, perhaps till their late 30’s.
This is because Moon never produced offspring except by cheating on Tara, wife of Jupiter. Some scholars say it is this curse that leads to such a situation.
Attributes of Rohini Nakshatra in Astrology

#Shravana #Nakshatra, which starts at 10°00' and is up to 23°20' in Capricorn sign, is the 22nd Nakshatra in the zodiac as per Indian #vedic #astrology. Shravana Nakshatra is also written as #Sravana Nakshatra or #Shravan Nakshatra. Shravana Nakshatra has a unique symbol of three #footprints in an uneven row. And #Human #Ear is also said to be the symbol for Shravana Nakshatra. Sravana Nakshatra is etymologically related to the verb in #Sanskrit language that means 'To #hear'. So the symbol of an ear for Sravana Nakshatra finds its validation and connection with this lunar asterism.

The symbols and etymology both clears the way for Shravana Nakshatra to be associated with #Goddess #Saraswati. She is the goddess of #learning and #wisdom. She is a presiding deity for any type of learnings and skillsets. And both of these connections, the symbol of hearing and Goddess learning and #knowledge, gives the idea about the personality traits of the Shravana natives. The knowledge which is orally transmitted and hence heard by Ears is the foremost trait related to Shravana Nakshatra.

The ruling deity of Shravana Nakshatra is #Lord #Vishnu, the Preserver #god of the world, life and the whole #cosmos. He is one who is also known as Lord #Narayana. And he is the one who creates the balance in the universe. Vishnu is also a part Hindu Trio of God with other two, Lord #Brahma and Lord #Shiva.

The Great Preserver God of Hinduism, Lord Vishnu is the ruling deity for Shravana Nakshatra. Although there are many things associated with him. Talking specifically about Shravana lunar mansion, the personality trait like knowledge with wisdom which essential to create a balance can be absorbed from Vishnu. The #Vedas and Vedangas which are being preserved for years in Indian tradition are nothing but the toolboxes for passing knowledge that can provoke wisdom. For example Indian Vedic Astrology. An Indian had a tradition of passing it from generations to generations. Which essentially helps the new generations to preserve the valuable human qualities.

Shravana Nakshatra also indicates travels, and sometimes creates urinary difficulties.

#Chandra is the ruling planet for Shravan Nakshatra. All the Padas of Shravana Nakshatra are in the Capricorn sign. The 1st Pada falls in Aries navamsa ruled by Mars. The 2nd Pada falls in Taurus navamsa ruled by Venus. The 3rd Pada falls in Gemini navamsa ruled by Mercury. And the 4th Pada is in Cancer navamsa ruled by Chandra or planet Moon.

Moon in Shravana Nakshatra: Birth star as Shravana Nakshatra makes a person prosperous and a learned person. Shravana natives may get a liberal-minded spouse. There are also some chances of getting immense wealth, riches of life and wide fame.

  1. #Narada Muni

Narada is a Vedic sage who plays a prominent role in a number of Hindu texts, notably the Ramayana and the Bhagavata Purana. Narada is arguably ancient India’s most travelled sage with the ability to visit distant worlds and realms. He is depicted carrying a Veena, with the name Mahathi and is generally regarded as one of the great masters of the ancient musical instrument. Narada is described as both wise and mischievous, creating some of Vedic literature’s more humorous tales. Vaishnav enthusiasts depict him as a pure, elevated soul who glorifies Vishnu through his devotional songs, singing the names Hari and Narayana, and therein demonstrating bhakti yoga.

  1. #Shatarupa

Brahma had one daughter Named Shatrupa- (one who can take hundred forms) born from various parts of his body. She is said to the first woman created by Lord Brahma. Shatarupa is the female portion of Brahma.

When Brahma created Shatarupa, Brahma followed her wherever she went. To avoid Brahma following her Shatarupa then moved in various directions. In whichever direction she went, Brahma developed another head until he had four, one for each direction of the compass. Shatarupa tried every way to stay out of Brahma’s gaze. However a fifth head appeared and this is how Brahma developed five heads. At this moment Lord Shiva came and cut off the top head of Brahma as it is misdeed and incestuous of Brahma to become obsessed with her, as Shatarupa was her daughter. Lord Shiva ordered that Brahma would not be worshipped for his offence. Since then Brahma has been reciting the four Vedas, one from every mouth in remorse.

Dvitiya

#Maa #Brahmacharini Puja
23rd
March 2023

(Thursday)
Brahmacharini Maa is worshipped on the second day of Navratri. She is considered as the unmarried form of Goddess #Parvati. Brahamacharini is the #Sanskrit term which means: #Brahma, the absolute reality, the supreme consciousness + Charini, the female version of 'Charya', which means the one who behaves or conducts.

About Brahmacharini
Brahmacharini Mata adorns herself in white attire; keeps a Japa Mala (rosary) in her right hand and Kamandala (stoup) in her left hand. She signifies loyalty and wisdom. Also, she is an epitome of love.

Legend
As per the mythology, Goddess Parvati had this desire to marry Lord Shiva. When her parents got to know about this, they tried to discourage her. However, it didn't work and she approached Lord Kama, the God of erotic activities and attraction, to help her. In this pursuit, Kama shot an arrow of pleasure and desire into Shiva. Being in meditative state, Shiva got disturbed and really angry. So, he burnt him into ashes.

The story didn't end here. She, then, started living the way Shiva does. The Goddess went to mountains and lived the life of an ascetic for many years. Hence, she got the name Brahmacharini. Due to this, she drew the attention of Lord Shiva. So, he went to her in disguise and told all the negative traits of Shiva. But, the Goddess paid no heed to such things rather she resisted to hear all that. Shiva finally accepted her and they got married.

Astrological Aspect
Goddess Brahmacharini governs the planet Mars in astrology. Worshiping her can eliminate all the bad effects of Mars.

Mantras

ब्रह्मरूपधरा ब्रह्मचारिणी प्रणमाम्यहम्॥

#Mrigashirsha #Nakshatra in #Astrology

enter image description here

The symbol of Mrigashirsha Nakshatra is a deer’s head, and the deity is the ‘Moon’. ‘Mriga’ means #deer. Mrigashirsha means a deer’s pathway. The #star that is relevant to this Nakshatra is #Orion. Orion represents a hunter in the constellations. There is a star called #Bellatrix on the left shoulder of Orion, which represents a female warrior. So Mrigashirsha natives have courage like a warrior, and at the same time, they have feminine and nurturing Mrigashirsha characteristics.

There is a mythological story behind this Nakshatra. After creating the world, Lord #Brahma got attracted to his daughter, whom he created and soon after, he started pursuing her. When she started running off, he turned into an antelope so that he could run faster. #Shiva saved his daughter. So this Nakshatra is associated with incest in the family these natives would experience incestuous activities in their lives.

It is called a star that is related to the search. This Nakshatra deals with people who are constantly seeking or looking for something. But usually, this leads to them spending more time looking for things rather than achieving the final goal.

The signs related to Mrigashirsha Nakshatra are Taurus and Gemini.

#Rohini #Nakshatra
enter image description here

The word ‘Rohini’ is derived from ‘Rohana’, which means to rise or grow. Rohini means the ‘Red One’. This association comes from ‘Yogdhara’ or ‘Alderberan,’ which is a red, giant, and primary star that rules this nakshatra. The Nakshatra lord is ‘ #Chandra’ (the #moon), and the deity is ‘ #Brahma’. This nakshatra is also called ‘Surabhi’. Surabhi is in reference to Kamdhenu, which is a wish-fulfilling cow.

Mythologically, Rohini was the daughter of Daksha Prajapati, a King-rishi. He had 60 children, and 27 of them were wedded to Chandra. Rohini was one of them, and she was the most beloved of all. Her eyes were enchanting and had a very soothing persona. These are the things that you will find in Rohini Nakshatra’s natives as well.

Moon and venus bring a lot of feminine qualities to the Rohini natives. This nakshatra is ruled by the moon and sits in a very stable Venus, which is ruled by the Taurus zodiac. The element associated is earth. Hence, the natives are very inclined towards earthly bound and material pursuits in life. They have ‘Rohana Shakti,’ which means to ascend or grow. It is an upward looking nakshatra.

However, they feel quite comfortable at home and consider their home very important. Their homes are very colourful and exhibit a lot of artwork. They are very good and tactful in their speech. They tend to enjoy all the comforts in life. The shadow side of Rohini natives is that they can be very indulgent in material possessions or very obstinate.

In the zodiac wheel, Rohini Nakshatra is connected to the Taurus sign.

#ROHINI #NAKSHATRA

Rohini Nakshatra brings fertility and creativity into all the areas of our organism. Physical as well as psychic fertility is transferred to us when working with Rohini. The Red Star Woman brings power and healing to both the mind and the womb. Rohini reflects the light of the rising Moon and shines it to us on earth with a creative blessing as we move into the longer days after the Equinoxital balance is traversed. Honour given to Rohini is like putting the spiritual focus and power towards the fruit and harvest of our lives.

Rohana Shakti is the root meaning in Rohini, and Rohana signifies ‘the power of #growth and fertility‘. She is the astral star force that houses the creative energy of #Brahma and projects the astral force to the earth in manifesting fruit.

BEAUTY IN THE EYES
Rohini transmits a hypnotic beauty to us. When the Rohini force is received, we become alluring and magnetic. It is said that Rohini gives captivating beauty to the eyes. The animal of Rohini is the snake which is known for its mystical penetrating gaze.

Vashikaran
is the magical power
to entice through the magnetism
of the eyes.

Rohini brings the most captivating beauty to the eyes. We see that the #star of Rohin is #Aldebaran, which is in fact the eye of the Bull – the brightest star in the Taurus star constellation. Kajal is traditionally a herbal remedy that is applied to the eyes to ward off the evil eye. As we shall see in the next section, Rohini raises the energies of envy and jealousy. Kajal is put on the eyes as a type of eyeliner on infants in India as a protective and beautifying measure. It draws the powers of the beauty of Rohini into the eyes of the wearer while acting as a medicinal herbal tonic to the eyesight.

Stories tell of Rohini being the Moon’s favorite amongst the 27 lunar houses. Rohini’s sisters are the 26 other Nakshatras that were jealous that the Moon preferred the red sister over them all. The Moon is in its fullest power when the beloved Rohini is closest. The Moon and Rohini mysteriously enter into union for the longest time of all the lunar houses. As the Moon’s favourite, Rohini receives the lunar rays and transmits them to those that acknowledge her on earth. She is the ultra feminine woman who transmits the powers of healing all aspects of fragmented femininity.

The story of Rohini tells of Jealousy. Jealousy is a powerful karmic theme that Rohini can bring to the surface.

Work with Rohini
is an antidote
to healing the poison
of jealousy.

Jealousy is a potent force that poisons the womb. Jealousy can of course be blatant, but it can also be invisible, in the form of an inapparent hidden emotion – it can live in the deep unconscious recesses of the mind and express itself in many ways. The struggle for power, beauty and influence can come from deep unresolved jealousy that has been suppressed.

The influence of Rohini Nakshatra on the half rising Moon is a time when unresolved jealousy is brought to the surface. This can afford us a chance of deep healing of mind, heart and womb. Love, beauty and endless femininity is brought to us by Rohini when we resolve the Tamasic (dead) energies within the unconscious recesses of the mind.

Love and beauty can’t simply replace the dead, the dead must first be put to rest before Love can come into play. Therefore Rohini offers us a chance to work on the rotting karmas that might be spoiling the ripe fruit of being.

The story tells how the sisters were so jealous that they complained to their father to do something about the injustice of the Moon who was showing favoritism to the bright Red Star Sister. When the father heard of this he cursed the Moon to wither away.

The dying Moon was saved by Shiva who counteracted the curse and caused the Moon to grow… but forever after the Moon had to go through the phases between waning and waxing. Shiva ever after carried the Moon in his crown as a sign of his loyalty to his lunar devotee. For this he is called Chandrashekhara (Moon crowned).

Whenever one becomes
like the moon,
they are crowned upon the head
of the infinite wisdom of Yog.

MANTRAS OF ROHINI
The Bija (seed mantras) of Rohini are sounds that relate to the womb energies of fertility, along with the rhythmical Lunar movements of the mind and the Venusian sexual chakra. These mantras are practiced in Tantric ritual When Rohini visits the Moon. Some of them are:

Ohh,
Vhaaa,
Vheee
& Vhuuu.

When intoned with a specific shape of the lips, these mantras activate the Nadis (energy lines) of the Moon ruled movements of the astral mind and the womb and Shakti chakra. The womb is the source of fertility and birth, the dark creative cave where Rohini shines brightest – for she is creativity itself.

Rohini is also a word for the maiden at her first ever menstruation. Working with the star of Rohini helps in balancing issues of fertility, sexuality, menstruation and menopause. Rohini addresses the hormonal rhythms and sexual function in both male and female on both physical and psychic levels – it is to be remembered that Rohini is the Moon’s favorite lover. She brings stability to the sensitive astral self, as she balances the Lunar forces that intersect with the mind.

enter image description here
BULL POWER
Rohini Nakshatra is found in Vrishabh (Taurus). Rohini is the star Aldebaran, a star of great red radiance and the brightest star of Vrishabh… the eye of the Venusian Taurus which is the Shukracharia (Venus) ruled zodiacal constellation of the Bull. The Ox pulled cart is a symbol of Rohini that alludes to this detail.

The Bull is a virile potent force of tempestuous nature, very much the active expression of Rohini – it can run amok in our lives or it can be channeled as in the case of the agricultural Ox. Rohini is not a castrator but a boundless force of growth that can be put towards ploughing the field of our lives and reaping harvest. We find that Kamadhenu – the great wish fulfilling cow who represents the feminine aspect of Taurean force – is also another name for Rohini Nakshatra.

BETWEEN THE MOON & SUN
If we consider the previous Nakshatra to Rohni we find Krittika (Pleiades) and see that it’s ruling deity is Agni, who is the god of heat and Fire. Rohini is then followed by Mrigashirsha Nakshatra (Orion) which is ruled by Soma, who is the fluidic cooling Moon god. We see that Rohini is ruled by the deity of creation Prajapati Brahma.

Rohini is quite literally balanced between the energies of heating Agni and cooling Soma. The implicit wisdom inherent here is that Rohini brings creativity through the balance of Moon and Sun. Hatha Yog is often interpreted as the union of the Moon and the Sun, or the union of Hot and Cold, Woman and Man, Earth and Sky. Ha refers to the heating solar force while Tha refers to the cooling lunar force. Rohini is the creative energy what weaves them together and is born of their union. Practices of Hatha Yog open creativity in all dimensions of our being.

STARS IN HERBAL MEDICINE
Brahmi is an Indian herb, but it the word Brahmi is also another name for Rohini Nakshatra. Brahma the creator is the deity of this Nakshatra and has as his Shakti (feminine power) Brahmi… hence this being another name for this Nakshatra. Rohini it is, above all else, the star of creativity.

The Indian herb Brahmi
is taken to improve memory
while at the same time
acting as an aphrodisiac.

This synchronicity reflects the Moon and Venus involvement of this Nakshatra. The #Moon’s most #beloved Nakshatra is Rohini. The Moons memory is intense in remembrance of her, and the love for her, even more so. The Moon rules the movements of the Mind, whereas Venusian energy manifests in love and sexuality. #Brahmi is a good herb for balancing Rohini afflictions in the support of #healing the feminine.

10°00" to 23°20" Taurus (Vrishabha)
#Chandra #Nakshatra #Rohini #Brahma
The 4th Nakshatra: ROHINI.
The four quarters are ruled by:
Mangala (Mars) - the 1st quarter,
Shukra (Venus) - the 2nd quarter,
Buddha (Mercury) - the 3rd quarter,
and Chandra (Moon) - the 4th quarter.

Other aspects of this Nakshatra:
The Purushartha (life's vector or motivation) is Moksha.
Totem animal is #Serpent (male).
Symbol - a #chariot.
Devata (Deity) - Brahma.
Dosha - Kapha.

This is the 4th Nakshatra of zodiac, ruled by the planet Moon. It spreads from 10°00' in Vrishabha to 23°20' in Vrishabha. Chandra (Moon), the lord of this Nakshatra and Shukra (Venus), the lord of Vrishabha, though belong to the opposite camps of planets, they complement many of each other's qualities for a person born in this Nakshatra. As a result, while Shukra (Venus) makes these people beautiful with an artistic mind, the Chandra (Moon) endows them with gentle, dignified manners. Vrishabha also happens to be the exalted sign of Chandra (Moon). It is said that even a beggar born on this Nakshatra will have a dignified appearance. Eyes of the people born in this Nakshatra are especially attractive.

These people are obstinate by nature and attempts by others to ignore their views only results in worsening the situation. They seem to be hell bent to have their own say in every matter. While they are quick to point at others faults, they seldom accept their own faults. Emotions rule supreme in these people. These people will have to control their stubborn nature if they want to work in groups or be in professions that require dealing with people. Keeping a flexible mindset will always help them.

A Shukra (Venus) placed in a movable sign will make the native spendthrift to enjoy material comforts. Females born in this Nakshatra tend to display whatever riches they have.

These people are ideally suited for any kind of artistic work and the jobs or businesses dealing with juicy and sweet materials. But these people should exercise extra caution while dealing with their business partners.

They are attached to the mother's side of family tree. Since the Chandra (Moon) rules the mind, living a tension free life is important for them. These people are prone to suffer from hormonal imbalances caused by mental worries.
