#UttaraPhalguni #Nakshatra is a #constellation that reflects traits like creativity and strong analytical skills. People born under this constellation tend to be quite sociable and are often admired by others. They have a knack for forming good relationships and are committed to various social causes. However, they can come across as proud and distant, especially to those they don’t find useful.

Now, let’s delve into the fascinating story behind their nakshatra deity. According to Indian mythology, Daksha, who was the son of Brahma, once organized a grand yagna (a ritual) for all the gods but deliberately excluded Shiva, the husband of his youngest daughter, Sati. Despite not being invited, Sati insisted on attending the event and, to her dismay, she and Shiva were publicly humiliated. This deeply upset Sati, leading her to take her own life. In response, Shiva, in the form of Virbhadra, cursed Bhaga. This curse might be the reason why those born under Uttara Phalguni tend to exhibit aloofness and appear arrogant when they feel their purpose with someone has been fulfilled.

#Pushya’ or ‘ #Pashyami’ is a #constellation in the #Cancer zodiac sign, and it can have a significant impact on a person’s life depending on where it’s placed in their #birth chart. When it’s in favorable positions, it brings positive outcomes, but in unfavorable positions, it can lead to challenges. The positioning of other planets in the chart also plays a crucial role.

Pushya is often associated with nurturing and preservation. In simpler terms, it aims to support and sustain what is healthy and beneficial. This concept isn’t limited to just relationships; it extends to intellect as well. Since Pushya is governed by #Jupiter, a planet linked to wisdom and broad-mindedness, people born under Pushya seek to nourish their minds and expand their mental horizons.

These individuals are lifelong learners who actively seek out teachers, books, places, and people that contribute to their personal growth and wisdom. They also have their own insights and ideas generated through their self-reflection and mental abilities.

Pushya individuals are in a constant state of exploration, looking for answers both within themselves and in the world around them. This curious and inquisitive nature is a fundamental trait of Pushya, present from birth. You might recognize a Pushya individual as a child who always questions how things work, tries to figure things out on their own, asks lots of questions, and gets excited or uneasy when answers aren’t readily available.

Empathy is another key trait of Pushya. From a young age, they have a deep understanding of what can hurt or uplift someone, and they naturally act in ways that consider these feelings. They are known for giving selflessly, without expecting anything in return, and their generosity comes from a genuine place of respect for others and their own values.

This trait is exceptionally strong in Pushya individuals; they act this way not because they want something in return, but because it’s in their nature to do so.

A famous example of a Pushya personality is #Goddess #Sita, who was born under this Nakshatra. She endured tremendous trials, like the trial by fire, without questioning until she reached a point where she couldn’t bear it any longer and chose salvation. Pushya individuals, like Cancerians, are giving and nurturing, but they are also deeply emotional and have their limits. When they feel their purpose in someone’s life is fulfilled, they are willing to let go, leaving behind beautiful memories.

For those who understand and appreciate these qualities in Pushya individuals, they can enjoy incredibly harmonious and loving family lives Pushya Nakshatra.

Lastly, Pushya is associated with one of the five primary elements, known as ‘Pancha Mahabhutas’: Air, Water, Fire, Earth, and Space. In Pushya Nakshatra, the element of Space is particularly influential and takes shape among these five elements Pushya Nakshatra.

#Orion is one of the oldest constellations in the sky. In Greek mythology, it represents the giant huntsman Orion, who incurred the wrath of the goddess Gaia by saying that he would hunt down every animal on Earth. According to legend, Gaia sent a scorpion to prove him wrong. Orion was unable to defeat the scorpion and met his end after being stung by it. The gods placed them both into the heavens as constellations.

Orion and Scorpius are never seen in the sky at the same time. Orion is best seen during the northern hemisphere winter, while Scorpius is prominent in the summer sky, when Orion stays below the horizon.

The #constellation Orion is depicted as the human figure of a hunter chasing a hare (Lepus) with his two dogs (Canis Major and Canis Minor) or, alternatively, facing the charge of the Bull (Taurus). It is sometimes depicted as chasing the Pleiades, the Seven Sisters, across the sky.

The sacred energy vortex that resonates with the star Hasta nakshatra is located in Komal near Kumbakonam in Tamil Nadu, India. People born under Hasta should visit this temple at least once during their life time.

People born under Hasta star should worship this form of Shiva with folded hands in prayer, meditation and yoga. It is also recommended for these people to perform the ancestor ritual known as tarpanam. While making the tarpanam offering, water passing over the lines of the person’s hands connects their energy with the energy of the ancestors.

The connection of this temple to Hasta nakshatra begins with the story of Goddess Parvati, who wanted to understand exactly what Lord Shiva experienced as the ruler of the Universe. Shiva participated in Divine sport, so Parvati decided she too would take part in Divine sport to gain the knowledge of Shiva. Parvati playfully covered Lord Shiva’s eyes with her hands, but this simple action caused the entire universe to become in capacitated. She had stopped the flow of water, the movements of planets and everything in the universe became still. Overcome with guilt, Parvati asked Lord Shiva for his forgiveness.

Shiva explained to Parvati that due to her actions, he would disappear into the light known as "Hastayama Jyoti" created by his own hands. Parvati would then incarnate as a cow wondering around the world in search of Shiva until she reunited with him in the form of " #Hastayama #Jyoti." Parvati was quite distressed about the situation, but followed Shiva’s orders and wandered the earth as a #cow, searching for Lord Shiva’s light. Finally, on Hasta star day, Lord #Shiva revealed his #light to #Parvati and bestowed darshan as Sri Kirupa Koobareswarar.

Those born under Hasta nakshatra can offer foods that require the use of one’s hands during preparation to the poor. Making sweet or savory cakes by hand, is a good example of such an offering.

#Constellation #Aquila

Look halfway up the southeastern sky in early August evenings, and you’ll easily spot the bright, white star Altair, sitting at the bottom corner of the Summer Triangle asterism. Altair is the brightest star in the venerable constellation of Aquila (the #Eagle) and marks the great bird’s head. The eagle’s body and tail extend downwards to the right, more or less following the Milky Way. The #wings extend upwards and downwards.

Altair is Arabic for “flying eagle”. The star itself is a yellow-white star about ten times larger than our Sun, and only a mere 17 light-years away, making it the twelfth brightest star in the night sky. At 10 hours, its rotation rate is one of the fastest known, spinning so rapidly that the star has an oblate shape (wider at the equator than it is tall). In the sky, Altair is symmetrically flanked by two small stars named Alshain and Tarazed. The trio span about three finger widths, or 5° of separation. Tarazed is a cool, orange giant star located 460 light-years away and shining at almost 3,000 times the luminosity of our Sun.

The rest of Aquila’s stars are dimmer, but nonetheless visible to unaided eyes. Almost a fist’s diameter to the lower right of Altair is the star Delta Aquilae, representing the body. The upper wing has the star Okab at the tip. The lower wing is formed by two widely spaced stars named Almizan I and Almizan II. The eagle’s tail is marked by a pair of small stars named Al Thalimain, “the two ostriches”.

In Greek mythology, the constellation had been associated with Aetos Dios – the eagle that carried the thunderbolts of the supreme god, Zeus. The eagle was also sent by Zeus to carry the shepherd boy Ganymede to Mount Olympus. Ganymede is often associated with the constellation of Aquarius.
