#Magha (மகம்): The Ancestral Throne
Placement: 00° 00’ to 13° 20’ of Leo

Element: #Water (Neer)

Pushkara Navamsha/Bhaga: NA

Gandanta #Nakshatra

This nakshatra exudes regal qualities and is strongly associated with kings, queens, monarchs, and royal societies. Located in the early degrees of the Leo zodiac, it is the brightest star in the Leo (Simha) constellation, which further emphasizes its close link to kingly attributes.

Symbol: The symbol of this nakshatra is the throne and throne room, representing power, high status, administration, and traditional values. The concepts of kingship, lions, and thrones are all interconnected with the idea of royalty, which is embodied by this nakshatra.

Deity: The deity associated with this nakshatra is #Pitris (The #Ancestors), as acquiring a kingly status or a throne requires a deep understanding of, and reverence for, past traditions. An individual's identity is closely linked to their familial lineage and ancestral history. In Puranas, Pitris are believed to reside in #Pitra #Loka after departing from Earth. According to tradition, the blessings of one's ancestors are essential for success, even before seeking the blessings of the gods.

Our direct ancestors, such as grandfathers, as well as the forefathers of all #humanity known as #Pitru Devatas, are the reason for our existence. According to the Ganesha Purana, Lord #Brahma was tasked with creating the Universe after emerging from Lord #Vishnu's naval. Initially, Brahma attempted to create the universe without first worshipping Lord #Ganesha, but his creations were flawed and incomplete. Upon realizing his mistake, Brahma sought out Lord Ganesha and began to worship him. Ganesha, who had been in deep #meditation, opened his eyes and saw Brahma there. He took Brahma into his hands and swallowed him, which shocked Brahma. However, inside Ganesha's stomach, the entire #universe had already been manifested. Ganesha then released Brahma and advised him to create the universe according to what he had seen. The creations that Brahma had initially made became the Pitru Devatas, as they were the reason for the universe being created in the way it was intended to be.

Guna: As the foremost among tamasic nakshatras, this nakshatra is focused on the pursuit of power and claiming what is rightfully one's own. Tamas, representing the pursuit of pleasure through material means, is a defining characteristic of this nakshatra.

Ruler: #Ketu is the ruler of this nakshatra and represents the impact of our past life actions and decisions. It is considered the most independent among the grahas because it lacks a head, and it is also the oldest among the navagrahas (nine planets), which explains why it holds the position of ruler for this nakshatra.

Animal: The animal associated with this nakshatra is the #male #rat. Like lions, rats tend to have large families and are known for their active sexual life. These intelligent and energetic rodents are also associated with Lord Ganesha, further emphasizing the connection with Ketu.

#Power: Magha is associated with the power of "Tyaga Shepani #Shakti", which refers to the soul's ability to disconnect from the physical body. This nakshatra guides the soul to Pitra Loka after death, serving as a facilitator for the transition between states. Ultimately, Magha represents the power to bring about a change in one's spiritual state.

General attributes: Individuals born under Magha nakshatra are likely to have a strong connection to their past, possessing a natural talent for remembering things for a long time. However, they may also become overly preoccupied with the past, potentially losing sight of the present moment. Spirituality can help guide them towards righteousness and dharma. The success of these individuals is closely linked to their ancestral lineage, and they may prioritize achieving high status over acquiring material wealth. With an active sex life and potential for a large family, connecting with their ancestors through prayers and offerings is believed to be key for success. As we see in the movie "Coco", the ancestral world and our world are connected, and blessings from the ancestors can be received through offerings. Ultimately, the body is merely a vessel for the soul, and these are general qualities associated with Magha nakshatra. Reader discretion is advised.

Specialties: Planetary placement in Magha is considered auspicious, as the blessings of Pitris are considered more significant than those of the Gods, and they are more easily pleased by offerings. Lord Saturn is also associated with the Pitris, and the crow is seen as the vehicle of Lord Saturn. Therefore, offering food to crows is considered an offering to the ancestors. Additionally, Amavasya tithi (new moon day) is also associated with the Pitris and Saturn.

#Ashwini (அசுவினி): The Beginner
Placement: 00° 00’ to 13° 20’ of Aries

Element: #Earth (Bhumi)

Pushkara Navamsha/Bhaga: NA

Gandanta Nakshatra

Ashwini is the first #nakshatra among the 27 #nakshatras, and as such, it marks the beginning of everything, including life. It is said to have a magical quality, bestowing its natives with magical abilities and knowledge. As it is also a fast-moving nakshatra, with the moon transiting over it faster than others, any actions taken on this day are believed to be carried out more quickly.

Deity: The deity of Ashwini nakshatra is the #AshwiniKumaras, the twin brothers who are known as the celestial physicians with magical powers for healing the wounded and bringing the dead back to life. The name Ashwini is derived from their association with horses as they were born to Lord Surya (Sun) and his wife Sanjana in horse and mare form, resulting in their physical form having a horse's head and a human body. These brothers are forever young, agile and never age. Despite being identical twins, they differ in nature, as one brother prepares the medicine while the other applies it. One is sattvic and the other is tamasic, yet they remain inseparable.

Natural #healers: Nakshatras such as #Ashwini, #Ardra, #Pushya, #Hasta, #Anuradha, #Moola, #Dhanishta, #Satabishak, and #Revati have the natural ability to #heal.

Ruler: #Ketu, the #oldest #planet in #astrology and the planet of creation, rules over Ashwini nakshatra. This nakshatra is known for its swift and transformative energy, which is also associated with Lord #Ganesha, the deity of new beginnings, power, and success. While Ketu is often associated with endings, it's important to remember that every ending marks the start of something new. As a result, Ashwini nakshatra is considered to be an auspicious time for starting new projects and endeavors.

To gain philosophical wisdom, one must possess knowledge of the lunar nodes, Rahu and Ketu.

Symbol: This nakshatra is symbolized by the "horse's head". As the head is the supreme organ in the body and carries all five sensory organs, it holds great significance. Wearing a crown on one's head signifies royalty and authority, which is why the Sun gets exalted in this nakshatra.

Guna: This nakshatra is characterized as Rajasic, with a focus on continuous physical activity and an emphasis on swift movements.

Animal: The animal symbol associated with Ashwini nakshatra is the male horse, or stallion. As the twin deities of the nakshatra are associated with horses, this is not surprising. Horses are renowned for their speed, with their beautiful manes and stunning looks adding to their appeal.

Power: The #power attributed to this nakshatra is "Shidra Vyapani #Shakti", which refers to the ability to quickly reach one's destination or achieve one's goal.

General attributes: Individuals who are strongly influenced by Ashwini nakshatra exhibit twin personalities in nature. They may experience #sudden #shifts from being silent to being vocal, or from being idle to taking action. They are natural healers, and their words or actions may carry a certain healing energy. As it is the first nakshatra and where the Sun first gets exalted, they always possess the energy to create or initiate something. They are likely to value constant physical movement, strength, and courage. The influence of Ketu may make them selfless, but it can also make them reckless at times. Sitting in one place for an extended period can be challenging for them, and their lives will always be full of movement and new experiences. It is important to note that these are general qualities, and individual experiences may vary.

The meaning of the word Ashadha is festival or procession, and Uttara Ashadha means later part of the procession. This means the later part, i.e. the cycle of #birth of a baby, has started.

#UttaraAshadha #Nakshatra in astrology is one of the Urdhvamukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras which have their mouths upwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to palaces, coronations, boundary walls, construction of tall structures can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: Planks of a Bed
The symbol for Utthara Ashadha is the planks of a bed or a small cot. This is an indication of a baby putting more weight.

Deity: The #Vishwedhevas
The deity of Utthara Ashadha is Vishwedhevas. Vishwedhevas means all Vedic Gods taken together. In Vedas, 33 Gods are identified. These include 8 Vasu, 12 Aadhithya, and 11 Rudhra. Vishwedhevas are the most comprehensive gathering of Gods.

The yoni animal of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra is the #mongoose.
Mongoose is famously known for one thing, killing the snake and taking its deadly bite.
The mongoose is the one animal that can take on any type of snake species, from cobra, rattlesnake to a black mamba.
The behaviour of the mongoose is that it frustrates, annoys and makes the snake tired and only when the snake is tired does the mongoose attack and kill it with one hit.
Mongooses are also quite fond of Rahu (Pigs), or one of its cousins known as warthogs. They are known to come into the territory of mongooses and have them clean all the lice and ticks off of them.
This not only helps them get cleaned but gives mongoose a nice stuff to snack on.
Mongoose lives in a large group like a colony and is very social.
They are also known to breed between March-May and have a very unpleasant smell.
From the yoni animal, it can be seen that Uttara Ashadha natives will always have snake-like enemies and will flirt with snake-like people.
In a friendship, relationship or with co-workers, Uttara Ashadha natives will crush them or expose them to the world, and they feel undefeated in life.
Just like how mongoose sees the opportunity to kill the snake, Uttara Ashadha folks are extremely opportunistic, and when they see it, they go for it.
They jump into things before anyone else does and are not afraid of the challenge.
The warthogs receiving cleaning from these small relentless creatures show that they are able to help anyone in any type of condition.
They do not see species, colour, creed or caste.
Since pigs are connected with Varaha avatar, representing Rahu, and Rahu represents Muslims, Uttara Asahadha will always make a Muslim friend or have a Muslim lover in their life. It will be of a great benefit because, like the mongoose gets to feed on the ticks and lice of the wild pig, the Uttara Ashadha native will also be able to get many things to feed on through such people easily.
Due to the colonization nature of mongooses, they are very social.
They always want to take over things and set up their own eutopia wherever they go.
The symbol of this Nakshatra is the elephant’s tusk, which again shows that these natives are prolific writers.
They can write a trilogy and something as epic as Mahabharata written by the great Hindu God Ganesha.
The elephant’s tusk is pretty much a tooth, which Ganesha broke off and turned into an ink pen.
There are rumours that the originally written book by Ganesha is locked in the Padmanabhaswamy temple of Lord Vishnu.
The broken tooth shows dental issues that Uttara Ashadha natives need to deal with if this Nakshatra is influenced by malefics and posited in the 6th, 8th or 12th house.
Vishwadevas or the Universal Gods are the deities of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra.
The universal Gods or the Vishwadevas have the power to grant #invincible #victory.
Viswadevas deals with universal moral principles.
The qualities governed by them are goodness, truth, willpower, time, desire, skillfulness, forbearance, ancestors, abundance and summit/peak.
Lord #Ganesha, the elephant-headed God, is also connected with this asterism for being the one in charge of karma.
Lord #Krishna is supposed to have displayed his true form, or the Vishwaroopa, to Arjuna in Mahabharata’s Kurukshetra, where he had the entire Universe, the Gods ruling the Universe as being one- Lord Krishna.
The animal connected with this Nakshatra is the mongoose, which could also be connected with Lord #Kubera, who carries a mongoose skin purse, and rules the North direction connected with Mercury.
Abhimanyu, son of Arjuna, may also be connected with the last pada of this Nakshatra, as he was the one who broke through the Chakravyuha formation in the Mahabharata but ended up dying.
Parikshit, the son of Abhimanyu, was the only one who survived the Pandava clan even after getting impacted by Brahmastra from Ashwatthama.
The mythology clearly shows that Uttara Ashadha natives are undefeated in most of their undertakings.
They take the right and proper actions to make sure the victory is on their side.
Like Purva Ashadha Nakshatra natives, they are strategic about what type of war they are entering into and how they will conquer their mission.
Vishwa Devas are about morals and principles, and it translates into these natives as the anchor of their lifeboat.
Even the mob boss or a hard-minded criminal will have a set of principles that they will build their foundation on, like never killing children, women, or someone without a cause.
If you pay attention to the mythology, you will understand the word “Universal God”, meaning Uttara Ashadha natives do not have a single-minded approach to a single religion.
They believe in one universal God, one defining omnipresence.
They are always interested in anthropology, history and colonization of different religious beliefs in different regions of the world.
Krishna, who revealed his true self to Arjuna in the middle of the battlefield, becomes a key figure in this Nakshatra.
Krishna was known to be very apt, and he cheated many times in the Mahabharata to give Pandavas the advantage against their cousins.
The cheating was fair, as rules of the battle were not followed initially by Kauravas.
Uttara Ashadha natives are not afraid of cheating when they realize their enemy is serving them the same dish.
These natives are always in search of the answer of the true universe origins and who created this entire existence due to Krishna showing his Vishwaroopa (universal God form) to Arjuna.
Krishna also died with an arrow hit on the left foot by Jara, and so these natives always have sprained ankles and injury to their knee or leg, especially Saturn being the ruler of the Capricorn side.
Uttara Ashadha natives are the most powerful individuals within themselves.
One of the key features of someone who is in the power/position is their way of conducting themselves.
For example, a powerful banker, mob boss or CEO have a habit of always wearing the best things and smoking cigars.
Cigars have been the key symbol of such people to show their power in the world.
This Nakshatra deals with time, and they love to wear the best wristwatches so that they can keep track of time.
Saturn, the ruler of the Capricorn sign, is also the karaka of time.
Uttara Ashadha natives come to change things, and they make a big impact on society.
They feel it is their duty to give light to society at any cost, even if it means sacrificing their comfort and life. Uttara Ashadha stands for later victory.
When a person has this Nakshatra dominating in their chart, they will lose many battles in the early life but later become invincible and undefeated.
Attributes of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra in Astrology
Spread from 26’40” Sagittarius (Dhanu) to 10’00” of Capricorn (Makara).
Lord is Jupiter (Guru) and Saturn (Shani). The derivatives from Uttara Ashadha are closely allied to those of Purva Ashadha.
The points of difference are that Poorva Ashadha spreads out, and it is concerned with extensiveness.
On the other hand, Uttara Ashadha is introspective and penetrative and is concerned with intensiveness, the results of the latter being more permanent than the former (Poorvashadha).
The deity who preserves this world and makes for its welfare is called ‘ganadevata’or Vishwadevatas.
There are ten ganadevatas Basu, Satya, Kratu, Daksha, Kala, Kama, Dhriti, Kuru, Pururaba, Madraba.
All their attributes are in this star. The warrior, the wrestler, the painter, the artist, the magician, the well-dressed man, the happy and successful men are influenced by this star.
A special characteristic of it is that it causes the native to be admired and socially applauded.
Another characteristic of it is that under the influence of this star, the native falls in love with an unmarried girl.
Bhishma of the Mahabharata was one of the 8 Basus, so under this star, one possesses self-control, restraint, endurance and firm character. There are special rituals for the worship of ganadevatas, which are more or less of specialised nature.

#Moola #Nakshatra is the nineteenth Nakshatra in the series of the lunar constellations or Nakshatras in Vedic Astrology. It is symbolized by a bunch of roots tied together, meaning many things at once. It represents hidden things, secrecy, works, and events. It also means someone who is tied to their roots and generally does not move forward due to them, not going far away from their birthplace. This also means someone who gets to the roots of all situations to either find the cause of the problem or to prove a point.

It also includes crossing people’s personal boundaries. They are often seen in a bad light due to their nature and behavior but develop a thick-skin to go through it. They might cause issues in other people’s relationships and life due to the projection of what they experience in their own. Men in this nakshatra are skilled at many things and will change their profession often to find their best fit.

#Krittika #Nakshatra derived from the name #Kartikeya, has its roots in Hindu mythology. Kartikeya was the son of the deities #Shiva and #Parvati. Legend has it that in a contest against his brother #Ganesha, Kartikeya lost and decided to leave his parents’ home to live elsewhere. Krittika Nakshatra is associated with an #axe and is under the influence of the #Sun. People born under this nakshatra tend to inherit some of the characteristics of Lord Kartikeya.

One notable trait of individuals born in Krittika Nakshatra is their tendency to venture far from their place of #birth in pursuit of success and prosperity. Whether it’s education or any endeavor leading to long-term achievements, they often kick-start their journeys away from their hometowns. Interestingly, they have a strong affinity for activities like gardening, agriculture, or anything related to the nurturing and maintenance of trees. The symbol of the axe holds a dual meaning for them, symbolizing both agriculture and the act of cutting down, and it’s up to each Krittika-born individual to determine which aspect resonates more with them.

Despite their reputation for cutting ties, Krittika Nakshatra individuals are paradoxically quite emotional and yearn for strong connections with others.

#UttaraAshadha #Nakshatra, which starts at 26°40' in Sagittarius sign and ends at 10°00' in Capricorn sign, is the 21st Nakshatra in Zodiac as per #Vedic #astrology. The ruling deity or the group of deities for Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra are the #ten #Vishva #deva or #Vishva #devas. The term Vishva deva or Vishwa deva also means #universal #god. The word Vishva deva is also written as Vishwa deva.

The Vishva Devas are the sons of god Dharma, the god of righteousness and the goddess Vishva, the goddess of universality. Therefore the Vishvadevas are the universal gods or more rightly said, they are the gods who rule universal traits.

The #Sanskrit names of all the Vishva deva, in loose translation, are as follows:

Goodness
Truth
Will power
Skilfulness
Time
Desire
Firmness
Ancestors
Brightness
Peak or Acme
All these qualities and attributes by the name, as given above, are associated with Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra.

The symbol for Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra is an #Elephant's tusk. The Elephant's tusk as a symbol leads some interpretations to associate this #lunarmansion with the Hindu God #Ganesha. Lord Ganesha is the one-tusked elephant-headed god who is invoked to bless new beginnings and is prayed to remove obstacles from one's path or endeavour. Since Uttara Ashada Nakshatra denotes new beginnings and endeavours which becomes successful and permanent, this Nakshatra when well placed gives native a talent and ability to commence new enterprise and then taking it to success or desired conclusion. But when not so well placed native may start something in hurry and then fail to complete them.

The Elephant's tusk is sharp and denotes penetrating power. In evaluating this meaning, physical penetration may imply penetration of the body. And therefore the activities like hunting or surgery. Or it may even mean a movement of body or self. Hence penetrating new environments. On the mental side, it may imply greater insights.

And lastly, at many levels, the qualities of Purva Ashadha Nakshatra also apply to this Nakshatra, as one is the former (Purva) and the other is the latter (Uttara) part of the same larger constellation Ashadha or Ashada. The difference is Uttara Ashadha is more introspective and has great permanence and durability than Purva Ashada Nakshatra. In comparison, The Uttara Ashada Nakshatra is less aggressive as well.

The 1st Pada of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra is in Sagittarius sign or Dhanu Rashi and the rest 3 Padas are in Capricorn sign or Makar Rashi. The 1st Pada falls in Sagittarius navamsa ruled by planet Jupiter. The 2nd navamsa is in Capricorn navamsa ruled by planet Saturn. The 3rd Pada is in Aquarius navamsa also ruled by Saturn. And the 4th Pada is in Pisces navamsa whose lord is Jupiter.

Moon in Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra: If the birth star is Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra, then the person will be obedient and had learned the rules of virtues. And this native will be grateful. Uttara Ashada person will have many friends and will return the favour received. Hence, he or she will generally be liked by others.

#Mula #Nakshatra in #Astrology
#Moola Nakshatra’s deity is ‘ #Niritti’, the goddess of destruction, calamity, death, corruption, and dissolution. ‘Nir’ means ‘to be deprived of or dissolved’. ‘Ritti’ means ‘natural order or right’. Hence, Niritti implies deprivation of natural order or right action.

The Niritti Shakti empowers the natives to break away from all the material shackles and illusions. The symbolism for this nakshatra is ‘tangled roots’. ‘Moola’ itself means roots which signifies everything in its basic nature. Lord #Ganesha is the lord of #Ketu, and he plays an important role in Moola Nakshatra.

This is the first nakshatra from which one starts a spiritual journey. Moola Nakshatra can be understood by Muladhara Chakra, which is the base chakra where the root of latent and karmic energy (Prarabdha) resides. The blessings and curses both are seated in this chakra. Every action is a seed that is planted in Muladhara across lifetimes.

Muladhara Chakra is your sixth house which is Upachay. It is also the centre of all the ‘Vasanas’ (desires). Ketu governs Vasanas, and Lord Ganesha balances the uncontrollable desires. This is where Moola Nakshatra comes into the picture. Since it is the root Nakshatra, the ‘tangled roots’ itself implies the ties of Vasanas. These Vasanas are about karmic patterns, where the native has to go beyond them towards Moksha.

Moola is about being tied to material responsibilities or possessions. Muladhara chakra is represented by four petals: Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. So, Muladhara is the residence of these four karmic patterns. Lord Ganesh is the remedy for overcoming all the Vasanas and directing the native in the right direction.

This nakshatra is connected to progeny. These are the people who are interested in the family tree and lineage. This is also known as destroying nakshatra. If something new has to come, the old things must be destroyed – old thoughts, patterns, and habits. It is the root of the progeny. This is the Shiva energy. Also, this is the root of the spiritual journey.

It is a Tiksha Nakshatra that makes the natives face harsh realities. It is believed that the soul’s seed sprouts in this nakshatra which is Adhamukha (facing downward), and its journey continues till Ardra Nakshatra (facing upward) towards the ultimate liberation.

In the zodiac wheel, Moola Nakshatra is connected to the Sagittarius sign.
