The 27th #Nakshatra: #REVATI.

The four quarters are ruled by:
Guru (Jupiter) - the 1st quarter,
Shani (Saturn) - the 2nd quarter,
Shani (Saturn) - the 3rd quarter,
and Guru (Jupiter) - the 4th quarter.

Other aspects of this Nakshatra:
The Purushardha (life's vector or motivation) is #Moksha.
Totem animal is #Elephant (female).
Symbol - a #fish.
Devata (Deity) - #Pushan.
Dosha - #Kapha.

This is the last Nakshatra of the zodiac, spanning from 16°40' minutes to 30°00' in Meena (Pisces). It is ruled by the planet #Buddha ( #Mercury), the planet of intelligence. This Nakshatra comes in the last sign of the zodiac, Meena (Pisces), which is ruled by the planet #Guru (Jupiter). Guru (Jupiter) and Buddha (Mercury) belong to different groups of planets. As a result, a Revati born shows a mix of the qualities shown by both these planets.

A person born in the Revati Nakshatra is healthy with a moderate height. But the disease resisting capacity of the person will depend on the individual placement of planets giving vitality and energy, i.e. the planets Mangala (Mars) and Sūrya (Sun). Though somewhat short tempered, these people are pure-hearted. It is very difficult to make them accept the view, which does not suit their principles in life. If Buddha (Mercury) is placed in a dual sign, these people are quick to jump at conclusions. They are god fearing and follow the principles of their religion.

Their professions also show the characters of Guru (Jupiter) and Buddha (Mercury). Scientific inquiry and thinking and planning on a large scale are inherent in any activity undertaken by these people. Strong Buddha (Mercury) in the horoscope of these people may make an excellent mathematician or an astrologer. A strong Guru (Jupiter) may make a good historian or an archeologist. Generally these people settle in a place far away from their birthplace. But these people have to depend on their own efforts to make progress in life. It is difficult to gain more than their efforts in any undertaking.

These people seldom receive help form their relatives, even from the close family members. But the spouse is an exception, especially in case of people with a good Shukra (Venus) in their chart.

Females born in this Nakshatra are as a rule, beautiful. But they are stubborn and authoritative. They are also good at jobs that require repetitive skills.

Male Features

The 18th #Nakshatra: #JYESHTHA.

The four quarters are ruled by:

Guru (Jupiter) - the 1st quarter,
Shani (Saturn) - the 2nd quarter,
Shani (Saturn) - the 3rd quarter,
and Guru (Jupiter) - the 4th quarter.

Other aspects of this Nakshatra:
The Purushardha (life's vector or motivation) is #Artha.
Totem animal is #Hare or #Deer (male).
Symbols: an #earring or an #umbrella.
Devata (Deity) - #Indra.
Dosha - #Vata.

This is 18th Nakshatra of the zodiac, spanning form 16°-20' to 30°-00' in the sign Vrshchika. This Nakshatra is owned by the planet of intelligence #Buddha ( #Mercury), while the fiery Mangala ( #Mars) owns this sign. As a result, people born in this Nakshatra possess a mix of the qualities of Buddha (Mercury) and Mangala (Mars). While they are aggressive to the core, their aggressiveness is more on the intellectual level. A good lawyer or politician with excellent oratory skills, and ever ready to pounce on his opponents with strong verbal attacks is a peculiarity of this Nakshatra.

Jyeshtha born have excellent physical stamina and a good physical appearance. But these people are rather soft when it comes to dealing with some really difficult problems in their life, where a firm decision has to be made and implemented with a firm mind. They are much talkative, hence are unable to keep a secret a secret. To get on well with others, they should try to control their temper and be ready to accept the advice given by others. These qualities make them appear like a very proud person, but the facts are actually different.

The key to success in life for Jyeshtha born is to control their behavior in every walk of life. This includes their eating habits as well. If this happens, their sincere nature will take them to the most senior position available in the hierarchy where they work. These people are also not very clear about the profession they want to pursue for life, and hence keep on changing jobs or the lines of business often. This is the outcome of the dual nature of the planet Buddha (Mercury), the ruler of this Nakshatra.

In case of family relations, these people are not very lucky. While they do not get any special help form their parents, their spouse is also very dominating, due to which, they cannot take for granted the support of their spouse in whatever they undertake.

Male Natives

  1. Physical features: He has a very good physical stamina and attractive countenance. It may be noticed that most of the persons born in this Nakshatra have defective teeth, either the teeth will have gap between them or bulged out. If these two defects are not there, then the color of teeth will be different.

  2. Character and general events: He is very clean in his mind and is very sober. But these good qualities will not be noticed by others as he does not believe in show. He cannot face even a small problem. He is the type of person to whom no secret should be told or given. He cannot keep anything hidden in his mind even if it pertains to his own life. Unless he keeps it open to others he feels that something is missing in his life and good sleep is disturbed. Several persons born in this Nakshatra have been coming to me and complaining that they do get good sleep. When the reason for such a state of affairs was inquired into, they have all admitted that a peculiar vibration takes place in their mind and unless the reason for that vibration is leaked out they cannot rest. So they always wait for the next morning and try to tell these things to the persons who meet them first.

He is hot tempered and obstinate. Due to this temperament he often faces a lot of problems and forms a wall to his progress in life. He never accepts the advice given by others+, whereas he acts upon his own consciousness.

For the sake of principle he takes on the spot decisions on several matters without seeing the opportunity and circumstances, which ultimately leads him to a precarious state. Due to the condition of the hot temperament he will not hesitate to cause problems and troubles even to those who rendered him all possible help when required and even ill treat those persons. He cannot expect any help from the relations. Outwardly, he appears to be very proud but when we go closer to him it will be evident that it is just the opposite.

He must keep away all drugs and alcohol as he is prone to go out of control quickly which will spoil his hard earned reputation, put an hindrance to his profession as also in the family life.

  1. Education, sources of earning/profession: He will leave his home at a very young age and seek refuge in a distant place. He has to earn his bread strictly due to his own effort. Because of the sincerity shown in the work field he normally come up quickly in any position he holds. Constant change of jobs or professions are noticed.

Period up to 50 years of age will be full of trial and any stability in his life starts thereafter only. Period from 18 years of age to 26 years of age will be period of maximum troublesome. During this period he will have to undergo financial problems, mental agony as also in some case mental disarrangement. Period from 27th years of age will be a beginning of progress towards stability, even though the pace will be very slow up to his 50 years of age.

  1. Family life: He cannot expect any benefit from his mother and co-borns, whereas they become his enemies. He is generally disliked by his near and dear ones. This is mainly due to the fact that Jyeshta born likes to keep a separate identity and existence.

His spouse will always have an upper hand and resist tooth and nail the activity of intoxication. While his married life will be completely harmonious and enjoy to the maximum occasional health problems of his wife or separation due to some unavoidable circumstances will greatly affect the mind of the native.

  1. Health: Frequent temperature, dysentery, cough and cold, asthmatic attach and stomach problems are the possible diseases. It is noticed that these people are affected with one or the other health problems frequently. He may also have severe pain in arms and shoulders.

Female Natives

Females born in this Nakshatra will also enjoy more or less the same results mentioned for the male natives of Jyeshta Nakshatra. In addition, they will enjoy the following results:

  1. Physical appearance: Well proportioned and muscular body with long arms. Height above average. Broad face, short and curly hair.

  2. Character and general events: She has strong emotions, passionate jealousies and deeper loves. She is intelligent, thoughtful, perceptive. She is more eager to know what others talk of her. Although her natural inherent feminine character will not allow her to appear domineering, she is good organizer.

  3. Education, sources of income/profession: She is active in sports. Medium academic education. She is often contended herself in the home, seeking to enrich her own life through her husband's success. Hence most of the Jyeshta born females are not involved in any earning job.

  4. Family life: She lacks marital harmony and loss of children is also noticed. In some cases it has been that such native is subject to harassment by in-laws and several concoctions stories are framed against her. She has to be very very careful while dealing with her neighbors and relatives as they are persons who put poison in her life. A worry-less period is very rarely available for her. Since she makes her own rule to be abide by her children, she will be neglected by her children as a vengeance to what she has done to them during childhood.

  5. Health: Her health will not be so good. It is seen that some of the females born in this Nakshatra suffer from disorder of the uterus. She is also prone to prostrate gland enlargement or pain in arms and shoulders.

It is the most curious Nakshatra in the zodiac belt and supports a good sense of humor. According to #VedicAstrology, the planet #Mars is the ruling planet of #Mrigashira #Nakshatra whose symbolic head is #Deer. As Deer are always sensitive, anxious, and suspicious about their surrounding, so are the natives of Mrigashira Nakshatra. Being born in this nakshatra is considered a good #soul filled with immense #love in their #heart. Therefore, they are very delicate and sensitive. Although their mind fluctuates a lot at times, they are intelligent and blessed with honesty and obedience.

Mrigashira is a fifth of 27 Nakshatra, and if you were born when the Moon was between 23: 20 degrees Taurus and 6: 40 Degree Gemini then this guide is for you.

#Buddha was also #born in this #constellation. This Nakshatra is the #birth sign of #Shakti #Parvati and the domain of manifestation.

One of the prominent traits of this person is that they tend to be suspicious of others. However, they themselves are very honest in their interactions with others and expect the same honesty in return. They are susceptible to being taken for granted by friends and family, so they should be careful and not blindly trust them. Trusting them without caution can lead to heartbreak later. However, if they find out that they have been cheated on by someone, they will still deal with them, but in a very cautious manner. This person does not believe in just living a simple life and thinking big, but also follows higher values. They are very intolerant of people who have prejudices and judgmental views or those who act in a dishonest way. It’s worth noting that this person may have a double personality, where their outward appearance may not match their true inner self.

The female native of the Mrigashira Nakshatra is intelligent and interested in charity work. These females are always alert and witty, but at the same time, can be selfish. She has a sharp tongue that can sometimes curse others. She must learn to control her temper, or she may end up harming herself. She is literate and inclined towards the arts. She is very fond of material comforts, enjoys various cuisines, lots of ornaments, and branded clothing.

The Monk Bridge

What does "I would turn into a bridge for 500 years and endure the wind and rain mean?

  • Before one of the Buddha's disciples became a monk he met a beautiful girl and fell in love with her. Buddha asked him: "How much do you love her?" And he answered he would turn into a stone bridge and endure 500 years of wind, 500 years of sunlight and 500 years of rain. He only asked that the girl would walk over the bridge.

#Quote Researchers have discovered a two-foot-tall #Buddha statue in #Berenike, an #ancient #Egyptian port city.

The #artifact is the first Buddha ever found west of Afghanistan, according to the New York Review of Books’ William Dalrymple. Made from Mediterranean marble, it provides new evidence of trade between #ancient #Rome and #India.

Based on stylistic details, the researchers think it was made in Alexandria around the second century C.E.

Founded in the third century B.C.E., Berenike eventually became one of the largest ports in Roman-controlled #Egypt, according to the antiquities ministry. Goods such as ivory, textiles and semi-precious metals passed through the city for many years, until it was eventually abandoned around the sixth century C.E.

Recent excavations at Berenike have revealed other items that suggest a similar cultural blending. Among them is an inscription in Sanskrit dating to the reign of the emperor Marcus Julius Philippus, known as Phillip the Arab. Born in what is now Syria, he ruled the Roman Empire from 244 to 249 C.E.

Such finds are part of a growing body of evidence that shows just how interconnected the Roman Empire was to its ancient Indian counterpart. They also help shed light on the unique role played by Egypt, which was “centrally located on the trade route that connected the Roman Empire to many parts of the ancient world,” says the antiquities ministry.

A #camel reacts before being #sacrificed in honor of those who died during the revolution overthrowing Moammar #Gaddafi, during a gathering at the main square in #Tripoli, #Libya on Sept. 29, 2011.

#Animal sacrifice is older than #history. #Human #beings have #slaughtered #birds and #livestock throughout the ages in attempt to propitiate the #gods—to alter fate, to enhance fortune, to pay for sins.

One of the great hymns of the #Rigveda is that of the #Horse #Sacrifice, which only a king can perform. The rituals continue to this day, as the photographs in this collection show: in the #Muslim and #Hindu worlds, as well as in #Judaism.

The #first #murder related in the #bible stems from jealousy over sacrifice. #Cain’s sacrifice of vegetables did not please God as much as his brother’s sacrifice of animals—and so Cain slew #Abel.

Of the #world’s great #faiths, #only #Buddhism and #Daoism #eschew #rituals of animal sacrifice, indeed, the taking of any life. Indeed, according to legend, one of the #Buddha’s previous #incarnations gave up his #life to #feed a #hungry #tiger.

The various #Christian #sects and denominations very #rarely #perform animal #sacrifices.

But the very Catholic societies of #Spain and #Latin-America still hold #bullfights, which are descended from pagan animal sacrifices. And, of course, at the heart of #Christianity is a #sacrament that is essentially a human sacrifice.
