#Ardra is the brightest star in the #Orion #constellation. It is also known as the Star of Sorrow and the Star of Oppression. Symbolized by #teardrop, Ardra natives are tested intensely, and their life lessons are hard-learned.
Their hardships hold testimony to their success, which comes during later stages of life. The presiding deity – #Rudra and the ruling planet – #Rahu brings confusion and chaos to the lives of people born under the star.
But they also bring in intense hunger for knowledge and lose themselves in quests to quench their thirst for knowledge.
They are bold and are straightforward. The natives are highly sensitive, and more than often, emotions cloud their judgments, making them think from the heart rather than the mind.

This Sookta dedicated to Nakshatra's was recorded (Drashtaara) by Gargya #Rishi. The Sookta describes both astronomical and astrological elements. Twenty eight Nakshatras are identified starting with #Krittika and reference is made to Ayanam occurring in Maghaa. A nakshatra Abhijit is shown between Uttarashadha and Shravana. Its use has been discontinued in the Jyotishya with only twenty seven identified currently. The authenticity of the Athrarvana texts is well accepted, by the very reverence shown towards precise learning. Hundreds of generations of Shrotreeya's have carried veda's down to us in its original language using oral traditions of Krama, Pada, Jatha, and Ghana Paatha so that distortions are nonexistent. Two major astronomical time markers are evident and implicit in the Sooktha. They are,

  1. Rishi Gargya starts the list of twenty seven nakshatra's starting with Krittika. Choice of Krittika as the first of twenty-seven is very significant. In contrast Jyotishya Shaastra uses Ashwini as the first star. The choice of first Nakshatra must correspond to a logically first day of a solar year, which dictates the weather cycles. Which is the year’s first day? Astronomically speaking, the spring Equinox day in Northern Hemisphere temperate zone is a logical one. It heralds the arrival of the spring, in temperate zone of northern hemisphere of the earth. Vasantha ritu, the spring has always been considered as beginning of a year from Rig-vedic times. Hence, the first observation implicit in Rishi Gargya's sooktha is that on spring Equinox day, Sun was at Krittika Nakshatra. Figure 13 shows Sun location on March 21, 2400 BC from Load Star Pro. The Sun is on equator and is pointing to Krittika nakshatra.

Natives born in Revati Nakshatra in #Astrology are sensitive, compassionate, caring, giving, selfless in nature, lover of small pets, independent, unaffected by pressure, calm and centred, soft-spoken, extremely deep and spiritual, dreamy, imaginative, intuitive, believing in the inner voice and reflective in nature, understanding the larger scope, detached from the earthly plane, possess a great spiritual understanding and are well educated.

#Revati #nakshatra in astrology is one of Tiryaka Mukhi #Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras with their mouths curved). In these Nakshatras, things related to roads, dams, the expansion of metals, chariots, boats, etc., can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: A Mrudhangam (Indian Drums)

The symbol for Revati is #Mrudhangam or #drum. This indicates that the babies can recognize your voice because they know it since they are in the womb.

Deity: The #Pushan

Pushan is the deity of Revati Nakshatra. Pushan is one of the Aadhithya. He is a God of meetings. He is responsible for marriages, journeys, paths, and cattle feeding.

He conducts souls to other worlds or from another world to this world. He protected travellers from bandits and wild beasts. He also protected men from being exploited by other men. He is a protector of livestock. Goats pull his chariot.

The yoni animal of Revati Nakshatra is a #female #elephant.
Like Bharani Nakshatra, these people are also all about protecting and guarding.
A female elephant is the most dangerous next to a female bear.
They will stomp in the ground until there is nothing left of you if you even come ¼ of a mile close to their calf.
Never mess with a Bharani or a Revati mother. Elephants are big, bulky, huge, and when elephants run or stampede, the ground shakes.
Elephants have an excellent memory.
They will never forget what right or wrong you did to them.
They could take revenge on you or hug you 30 years later if you met them by chance.
Elephants are family animals and have partners, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.
When one dies, they all come to the burial ground because elephants actually know to dig the ground to bury their dead family and relatives on rare occasions.
The elephant is an animal with a human heart.
They can consume 50 gallons of water and 200- 600 pounds of food per day. Elephants are slow walkers, walking on toes and are very protective of their young ones, as well as to everyone they know.
Elephants are known for their beautiful tusks, but it also costs them their lives for which they are killed.
Purva Ashada, Uttara Ashada, and Revati people will always have issues with their teeth, especially Revati natives.
Revati natives are extremely protective of their families and children. They lash out at everyone trying to come after them.
They usually take time to do their work, and they do not like to be disturbed or irritated.
If you do anything wrong with Revati/Bharani natives, they will remind you of what you did to them even after 30 years; they can be your best friend and close family member at times but will hint that they still remember what you did to them years back.
Elephants have tusks, which are their teeth. Revati natives will have long teeth and usually some issues with the teeth, which is karma due to what has been happening with elephants in nature for thousands of years as people are hurting them for their tusks.
This translates into Revati people even having a botched job with a dentist at one point in life where they would undergo several procedures to get their teeth corrected.
The symbolism of this Nakshatra is the drum and two fishes, which is also related to the Pisces sign.
The drum symbol is because this Nakshatra’s deity is Pushan, the Lord of wild animals, and Shiva himself is the Lord of wild animals.
Revati is connected with the sound of Shiva in terms of music, which is the Damru.
Revati natives are involved in music, dance or poetry, but there is one thing about Damru, the drum, which was used when major news announcements were made in a village or the arrival of an important individual.
Revati natives will always sound the alarm for cruelty against animals in social media, mainstream media, or personal groups.
They are extremely against any harm done to animals, like Radagast The Brown in Lord of the Rings, who was connected with nature and wildlife.
If one only reads what the Lord of the Rings book had to offer on one of 5 wizards, it can be seen that there is a lot of similarities between him and Revati natives.
The fish represents the duality and confusion within the Revati native.
One side wants to pace towards its goal, while the other wants to learn and remain in the past.
People with planets in this Nakshatra remain confused in life about what aim to take, which path to walk on, what decisions to make.
They do not feel at ease until they connect with nature or fight for nature.
Most spiritualists would have this Nakshatra because spirituality and its awakening is the higher dimension, away from our ordinary world.
Fish is also the oldest creature known to man. They have been here for over 500 million years, which also shows the depth and age of the Revati soul.
When the soul has been through countless cycles of this world, its only interest and path are to find the true nature and its spirit.
The deity of the Revati Nakshatra is Pushan, one of the 12 Adityas and is the protector of flocks, herds, and safe travels.
The Adityas are the guardians of universal laws and codes of conduct.
He also has a special affinity for animals. Pushan is also considered the ruler of the roads. He is the Lord of lost things and lost animals.
The search of any lost items on a Revati Nakshatra day can prove to be successful.
Lord Pushan is also the final ferryman, who ushers the souls into the realm of Yama into the netherworld.
He is also the protector of wayfarers and their belongings, as well as the God of meetings.
In Daksha’s yagna, Pushan was eating the oblation when Rudra arrived.
Rudra is supposed to have knocked Pushan’s teeth, and so the offerings to Pushan are made of soft porridge-like mingled soft curd rice.
As mentioned above, he is the ferryman and protects travellers in their journey.
This theme of Revati Nakshatra indicates that the natives are well versed in direction and can easily follow maps and reach their destination, and will be experts in navigation.
Leading others, showing the way to others physically, mentally or through counselling can be a theme for Revati natives.
Pushan and Ashwin Kumaras are known for their ability to heal animals.
The energy of Pushan is invoked during the Ashwamedha yagna (horse sacrifice ritual) to protect the horse from falling and injuring his leg and becoming lame, which indicates that the healer for lameness is Pushan.
It must be noted that the 12th house in astrology or the birth chart is where Revati Nakshatra dwells, and the 12th house denotes the feet of the native.
Pushan is the shepherd and veterinarian among the Gods.
As a result, Revati natives have a special affinity and fondness for animals and pets.
Revati natives can take special interest in zoologists, marine biologists, animal conservationists, etc.
Pushan’s mode of transportation is unique, with a goat drawn chariot useful in travelling hilly terrains and dangerous roads.
The animal goat is very adept in climbing hilly terrain and places difficult to access, which shows Revati natives may love exploring places, have an interest in visiting foreign nations and travelling or dwelling near mountains.
The story of the shepherd also connects Revati closely with #Krishna or #Christ.
The natives will be extremely fond and close to one of these figures because both were shepherds and protected animals, which is why they also make great safety officers in corporations.
Princess Revati is supposed to have been the wife of Lord Balaram.
The princess and her father approached Brahma and saw that he was sleeping.
Finally, after waking up, Brahma enquired as to why they were there.
Her father said he wanted to find a suitable bridegroom for his daughter.
Brahma mentioned that by waiting for him in Brahma Loka, where time moves at a slower rate than the Earth plane, the corresponding time in Earth had changed yugas, and their kingdoms have vanished with men being shorter than what they were before.
Brahma said that the only man suitable in this new yuga was Balaram, the elder brother of Lord Krishna.
Balaram used his plough to make Revati’s height shorter which indicates the partner of Revati natives will be shorter in height.
This Nakshatra can also provide an extremely tall partner.
It also shows that a Revati native will procrastinate on choosing their partner and miss out on the perfect match.
This is the confusion of the two fishes they run into.
Time goes much slower for Revati, and they will always take their time when doing any task or making any decision.
Such people are not good at working in a place where quick decision-making is required.
Attributes of Revati Nakshatra in Astrology
Spread from 16’40” up to 30’00” degree in Pisces (Meena) Rashi.
Lord is Jupiter (Guru). Pushan is the keeper of cows of the Gods; this leads to keeping cows and animal husbandry, protection and nourishing of dependants, foster-father, etc.
Pusha means cherishing protected people, nourishment, excellence, material enjoyment, wealth, prosperity, extravagance, and being fat.
The native of this star advances by leaps and bounds.
This is the #birth star of #Shani.
Anthropomorphically, this is the cavity of the abdomen, groins of Kalapurusha.
Description of Revati Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise

The native of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is fair complexioned, strong, sacrificing, wealthy, scholarly, religious, and brave. Such a native is almost a second God for their family. He performs pious deeds and is the best in his family. The native is happy, endowed with sons and grandsons, and victorious over enemies.

#UttaraBhadrapada #Nakshatra in Astrology can be split as Uttara and Bhadhrapadha. Uttara means later, and Bhadrapada means gentle legs. So Uttharabhadhrapadha means after the baby is born.

Uttara Bhadrapada 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: Two Legs of a #Bed
The symbol of Utthara Bhadhrapada is the remaining 2 legs of a bed. It suggests being on the bed for the birth of a baby.

Deity: The Ahirbudhnya
Ahirbudhnya is the deity of Uttara Bhadrapada. He is a #Rudhra. #Ahirbudhnya means the serpent at the base or belonging to the depth.

The yoni animal of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is the #female #cow.
Female cows are still known to be the most prosperous creatures in a household, family, farm, or dairy farm because of their ability to give milk through which we get butter, cheese, paneer, yoghurt, etc.
Cows are peaceful creatures and mind their own business.
They do not attack, plan, scheme and simply want to be left alone. Uttara Bhadrapada natives are just like cows.
They are not as aggressive and fiery as the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra, and they simply want to deal with things in peace and quiet.
They are nourishers who want always to be surrounded by nature like a mountain cow.
Cows can be extremely dangerous, and they can actually storm towards anyone and hit with their horn if they sense harm from someone to their calf, which is the protective nature of any mother.
Just like Uttara Phalguni, which is directly opposite to this Nakshatra, between 3-10 degrees of Pisces, the natives of this Nakshatra require a mate and would like to be with someone.
They are always looking for someone to have their calf, but this Nakshatra is far more feminine than the Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra.
The reason why Uttara Bhadrapada is considered as Laxmi Nakshatra is due to the giving nature of the cow.
Uttara Bhadrapada natives produce a lot of gas as they get older because cows are known to produce methane gas.
The deity of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is Ahirbudhanya, the water dragon who sleeps at the bottom of the ocean.
The word “Ahirbudhanya” is composed of two words, Ahi (serpent) and budhnam (bottom), so the word literally means the serpent at the bottom.
Ahirbudhanya is one of the 11 #Rudras, and he is the #God of #fertility and #kundalini. He is considered the son of #Vishwakarma, the celestial architect.
Ahirbudhanya is a cloud or serpent of the #atmosphere.
Rudras are connected with the atmosphere.
The Nakshatra of Uttara Bhadrapada provides rains and hence, provide the necessary element for life support on the Earth.
Many natives of this Nakshatra are always into spirituality, meditation, kundalini awakening and even possess the natural gift of changing the weather and bringing certain types of weather on call.
The question is why this Nakshatra gives such easy access to the natural DMT. This is where previous karmas come into play.
We get Nakshatra placements in our chart due to our actions and deeds from the past life, so someone progressing spiritually in their last life will gain access to advanced lessons by getting a high definition signal given by this Nakshatra.
The Ahirbudhanya story reflects perfectly in Uttara Bhadrapada native’s lives.
They are extremely secretive about their wealth, connections and skills.
They always hide their treasures in a safe place, where others won’t have access.
There is a strong connection with nature and the environment with these natives like Punarvasu Nakshatra and Ashlesha Nakshatra.
They need to be in nature and surrounded by water and mountains to feel at peace.
Do not mistake their peaceful sneak nature to be a dwarf and hiding in the mountains of gold like in fantasy adventure. Their underworld connection doesn’t just consist of treasures and occult, but also includes the underworld of mob bosses and crime.
All crime revolves around money, whether it’s drugs, gambling or money laundering.
Many times, these natives will have substance abuse issues and deal with drugs and though not connected to the underworld directly, but deal with the dealers of the underworld.

The two Nakshatras, #PurvaBhadrapada Nakshatra and Uttara Bhadrapada, are well connected, just like Purva Phalguni Nakshatra & Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra and Purva Ashadha Nakshatra & Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra.
Ahirbudhanya represents the water in the form of rain clouds, and Aja Ekapada, the deity of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra, represents lightning.
The holy water used for religious purposes in temples and churches (for baptism), etc., represents this water and may show energies of the Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
Like Aja Ekapada, the deity Ahirbudhanya also shows deep meditational aspects.
The sage Bhagirath brought the river Ganga from heaven to Earth.
He and his ancestor did pray to Goddess Ganga and then later to Lord Shiva to bring down the river Ganga.
He invoked Lord #Shiva (the #Rudra) to bring the heavenly holy water to Earth.
It can be noticed that many people who love ships, yachts, boats, scuba diving have a strong presence of this Nakshatra along with Revati Nakshatra.
The native wants to become a sea creature and is interested in venturing into the deep sea.
Attributes of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra in Astrology
Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is one of the Sthir or Dhruva (Fixed) Nakshatras. In these Nakshatras, things of fixed and permanent nature, things concerning one’s house, sowing of seeds, things or rites done for getting peace and the planting of a small garden, etc., can be auspiciously done.
Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is spread from 3’20” up to 16’40” in Pisces (Meena) Rashi.
Lord of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is Jupiter (Guru).
The star is adorned with a serpent-like symbol.
It looks like rice; its properties and attributes are like those of Ardra Nakshatra. Some attributes of Purvabhadrapada also are found.
Purvabhadrapada shows signs of contrition and atonement, while Uttarbhadrapada shows restrain.
Knowledge, learning, good counsel, personality – these also come within the purview of this star.
Anthropomorphically, this is the sole of the feet of Kalapurusha.
Description of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise

They are independent, aiming for self-sufficiency, determined, disciplined, hard-working, full of reason and practicality, can generate good income, work pertaining to engineering, sciences, technologies.

Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra in #VedicAstrology is one of the Adhomukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras, which have their mouths downwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to tanks, wells, temples, mining, digging, etc., can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: Two Legs of a #Bed
The symbol of Purva Bhadrapada is the 2 legs of a bed. It suggests a time to get admitted for a natural birth.

Deity: The Ajaikapadha
The deity for Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra is Ajaikapadha. Ajaikapadha can be split as Aja and Ekapadha. Aja means goat, and Ekapadha means one leg. Therefore, #Ajaikapadha means goat with just one leg. Ajaikapadha is considered heaven’s bearer. Ajaikapadha is a form of #Rudhra.

The yoni animal of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra is a #male #lion.
They sleep and sit around most of the day because they know they don’t have to move for anyone.
Purva Bhadrapda natives would have this in their consciousness, they have to work, they need to work, but if they didn’t have to, they won’t, but also what happens here is that the work they do is always unfulfilling and makes them unhappy.
They feel directionless in life because the lion yoni wants to feel relaxed and without responsibility.
Purva Bhadrapada natives feel like a vagabond until they do something creative, political, medical or activism activities.
They need a purpose in life, and most of the time, the purpose would be related to children as the Leo sign falls directly opposite to the Aquarius sign.
This Nakshatra’s main domination is in the Aquarius sign, while on the Pisces side, they are more introverted, fluent and at peace at the pace of their life.
The lion is also known for his roar and when these people get frustrated, pushed to the wall or angry, they will roar and scream to make their point, which can be very eccentric to others.
Like the lion who lunges on its prey, the natives will lunge on the one who becomes the prey in front of them by being a predator.
Lion’s job is to protect the cubs, which shows these people will be extremely protective of children and family at all costs.
People with other Nakshatras may not have such brutal protective instincts and are okay with life and what their young cubs are doing.
Purva Bhadrapada natives may go out there stalking their child’s move and making sure they are safe and sound.
These natives will also have a lot of hair on their body and will think more of their head hair, especially when this Nakshatra have effects on the 2nd house or 2nd Lord of the chart.
The lion being the animal of this Nakshatra shows the connection with #Goddess #Durga, who has a lion as her mount.
She killed the buffalo headed demon, Mahishasur.Summary of Purva Bhadrapada in Vedic Astrology
Lion is often used as a sign for Sun, as well as for a strong devotee.
God Narasimha, half man-half lion avatar of Lord Vishnu, had the purpose to save his child devotee Prahlad from his father Hiranyakashipu, who was killed under a unique set of conditions, such as at twilight (neither day nor night), on the doorsteps of his palace (neither inside nor outside), uses his nails to kill him (neither animate nor inanimate), puts him on his lap before killing (neither earth nor in space), which nullified the boon he had obtained from Lord Brahma.
Prahlada was the grandfather of King Mahabali.
Lions are not aware that humans consider them as the King of the jungle, they simply know that they are able to kill most of the animals, but a lion is there to watch for the pride, sleep and eat.
Purva Bhadrapada natives do excellently when in a position to protect children, working with children or large groups of people who protect certain aspects of life.
Another symbolism of this Nakshatra is that it has several symbols ranging from twins, funeral cot legs and two swords.
The symbolism of twin or two faces shows the polarity in these natives.
Natives with Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra may either be twins, or their family member would be a twin, but the strongest attribute is their ability to flipflop their views, answers, personality and mind.
They can actually come off as Vishakha Nakshatra natives with double personalities. Vishakha Nakshatra falls in the 9th house from this Nakshatra, which means one naturally will get personality traits from the father.
This can also be interpreted as being in two worlds.
Such natives are not only grounded in the affairs of this world but also have an affinity with the world, aliens, UFOs, paranormal, and death.
When it comes to the funeral cot, it shows their interest in death, health and life that is beyond the freshness of the living body.
They have a keen interest in pathology and how the body functions, but it also shows wanting to serve those who lay on the funeral cot.
It can be seen that such people are attracted to items that are old and dead in the culture. They love older antique items, which no one wants because they feel dead to an average person.
They are the people who will be purchasing an old VCR, boob box or old-style radio.
Aja Ekapada, or “the unborn, one-footed one”, is the deity of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
He is one of the Rudras and is the fire dragon. Aja Ekapada is often considered in his goat form and is considered to be the mount of Lord Agni, the God of Fire.
Aja Ekapada is connected with storms through Rudra and may also be connected with the Maruts, the wind Gods.
The archetypical unicorn may also be connected to the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
Seeing how Aja is one-footed, it can be seen that such natives will always have a leg injury where they will have to be on one foot for a while or on a wheelchair.
As a Rudra, these people are always attracted to natural medicine, herbs and acupressure.
Lions are animals that can take a lot of pain and survive. These people also love feeling pain in their body like a deep massage, acupuncture needles, etc. and just like Rudra, these natives are not lightweights; they will storm upon you when challenged.
They are extremely animated, wild and will like everything that 90% of the people will not.
If many people like classical music, pop, rock, Purva Bhadrapada natives will love punk rock and heavy metal.
If everyone enjoys mainstream hip-hop, they will listen to underground hip-hop.
If most like mainstream movies, they will like classic movies.
The one-legged theory is extremely true.
These natives will fold one leg to the other while washing dishes or doing some kitchen work.
A unicorn is a horse with wings and a horn on the nose.
The natives of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra will always love having a statue of wing angles and horses in their homes. As children, they would love unicorns or creatures which are a mutation of the original animal.
Aja Ekapada is the fire that is connected with funeral rites and can be considered to be the spiritual fire, which purifies one’s soul.
He is also connected with lightning, storms, black magic, and extreme occult groups such as Aghoris & other extreme practitioners of yoga or tapasya.
The fortnight that follows after the full moon in Bhadrapada Nakshatra (full moon in September or the Bhadrapada Hindu month) is connected with offerings to Pitris and is called tarpanam fortnight.
Aja Ekapad is equipped with a trident and is shown with a stag. Rudra pierced the head of Brahma, who was stalking Saraswati in the form of a stag.
Aja Ekapad is one-footed and connected with meditation austerities. He is connected with rishis and munis practising meditation standing on one leg.
The severe form of meditation or the left-handed tantra practice can be connected with this Nakshatra.
Purva Bhadrapada natives are the type of people who want to stop stalkers in their footpaths.
They can’t stand when an innocent being is terrorized, just like Brahma stalking Saraswati.
Most of the time, such people love doing investigations or love watching shows related to murder investigations and serial stalkers.
If other planets in the chart make a person’s action negative, then such people do such things instead of fighting against it.
Due to the connection with Rudra, they love the medical field, especially since it deals with life and death (funeral cot) and severe rituals.
The magic side of this Nakshatra gives natural interest in kundalini, magic, aliens, UFOs and other mythical activities.
Purva and Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra have a love for dragons.
The natives love stories of dragons as a child or even have one of those Feng-Shu statues in their home due to fire rituals and relation to fire with this Nakshatra, but it is truly the Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra that has this symbolism.
Lord Nataraja, the form of Shiva standing on one foot over the demon, can be a close resemblance to Aja Ekapada, though not the same.
In fact, every year in the Tamil month Maasi (Feb-March) from the day of Mahashivratri for the next few days, the Indian classical dance festival, Natyanjali, is held in Chidambaram.
It is at this time of the year the Sun is transiting or is in close proximity to the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
Mushrooms are strongly connected with this Nakshatra as it is a vegetable/fungus standing on one foot.
In ancient times soma was actually considered as mushrooms.
They used to make a paste of mushrooms, ghee, and other herbs to create the som juice.
Attributes of Purva Bhadrapada in Astrology
Spread from 20’00” in Aquarius (Kumbha) up to 3’20” in Pisces (Meen).
The Lords are Saturn (Shani) and Jupiter (Guru). It causes burns, pains, and the native burns things to ashes, uses words that burn, uses harsh words, is of evil disposition, has cruelty, greediness, restlessness, feeling of despair and unsatisfied ambition, and sudden excess of anger.
Anthropomorphically, this is the side of the body of Kalapurush.
Description of Purva Bhadrapada in Vedic Astrology Treatise
According to Hora Sara: The native born in Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra will be adulterous, will have no permanent residence, be difficult to be won over, will enjoy, get money from the sovereign, is base, dutiful and long-lived.
According to Jataka Parijata: If a native is born in Purva Bhadrapada, he will be bold in his speech, mischievous, cowardly, and weak.

#nakshatra
enter image description here
The literal meaning of the word Shathatharaka is hundreds of stars. Another name for this is Shathabhisha Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology which means hundreds of physicians.

#Shatabhisha 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: An Empty Circle
The symbol for Shathabhisha Nakshatra is repeated motion or #empty #circle. This is because now the baby is practising inhaling and exhaling. This is a repeated action, and the lungs are a space. The baby is also sucking, gripping, and blinking. These are also repetitive actions.

Deity: The Indhra
Indhra is the deity of Shathabhisha Nakshatra, according to Veda. According to Bruhadh Jathaka, it is #Varuna. Both of them, Indhra and Varuna, are Aadhithya. Indhra suggests that all the Indhriya or organs are developed now. Varuna suggests that the phase is getting over, and the new phase is about to start.
The yoni animal of Shatabhisha Nakshatra is the female horse.
A horse has a great balance and fast ability to escape danger; they can sleep standing up or sitting down and reproduce at a very early age.
These are just some basic notes on horses.
A Shatabhisha native wants to finish things fast and as soon as possible.
They are excellent in averting danger, either physical or psychological.
Shatabhisha natives will start their puberty or menstrual cycle and become sexually active early in their life.
Shatabhisha natives find it easiest at any place to take a nap, whether it’s on an uncomfortable plane or in the comfort of their bedroom.
They use sleep as a way to gain energy and simply for pleasure.
Their main aim is to wake up as early as possible so that they can start running in the race of life.
A horse lacks a collarbone; hence, a Shatabhisha native may have weak collarbones.
The most distinctive feature of a horse is his muscles and endurance, which is widely known worldwide, so it’s obvious that a Shatabhisha dominated person has strong muscle tendons and the ability to work for longer and faster than others.
One word that comes to mind is “Horsepower”, which is used in describing the power of a car’s engine.
A horse is an extremely powerful animal that can kill a man with a single kick from his hind legs.
If we compare a horse’s body to a human, the horse’s hind legs are his actual legs, while the front two can be considered as arms.
A Shatabhisha native will have strong legs and thighs to help them run in sports.
The symbolism of this Nakshatra is an empty circle, which represents many things.
It can show an enclosed circle like a group, cult, or community where the individual attains hidden information. It can also represent a black hole as it is empty and dark in the middle.
Basketball is a sport where the ball is put inside the hole.
This symbolism shows that such people want to be within a boundary and surrounded by some protection from the world.
The deity of the Shatabhisha Nakshatra is Lord Varuna, the God of cosmic law, cosmic ocean and sky and is also one of the Adityas.
He rules the mysteries and the underground waters. He is associated with occult abilities, secrets and destiny.
Varuna rules over the West direction. He is the Lord of the underworld and healing as well.
Varuna is believed to have 1000 eyes, which are stars of the night sky. Varuna is also connected with Dakshinayana, the Sun’s movement in the southern celestial hemisphere.
He also carries the pot with the nectar of immortality, Amrit, and has the ability to give life and overcome death.
Varuna & Mitra are often invoked together, and Varuna is considered to be the night Sun or the dark Sun. He rides on crocodiles or makara-like animals.
Interestingly, Vedas also call him an asura. Another story we hear from different scholars is about how from an astral plane yagna, the celestial apsara Urvashi appears.
Mitra and Varuna were overwhelmed by her sexuality and ejaculated.
Their semen containing their sperms falls into a mud-pitcher, where the foetus of Agastya Maharishi is born.
He is born from the same jar as his sibling Vashishtha.
Agastya was born from the sperm of Varuna and Vashishtha from Mitra’s.
A love triangle theme can be generally seen with Anuradha and Shatabhisha natives.
Varuna is also known for carrying a pasa (noose), just like Nirritti and Yama.
Varuna used his pasa randomly to seize unsuspecting victims, while Yama used it to drag the soul of a dying person to hell.
Varuna is known to be equipped with shackles and staff, symbolizing his authority and commanding qualities.
The word Shatabhisaj is formed from two words, Shata (means hundred) and Bheesaj (healers).
Hence the literal meaning of Shatabhisha Nakshatra means 100 healers or 100 physicians.
It demonstrates Varuna’s ability of healing and regaining good health.
Varuna has a harsh, punishing ability along with a merciful and compassionate one.
In one of the stories, Sage Agastya is known to have drunk the entire ocean to expose the demon Kalakeya hiding in the ocean to be killed by the Devas.
Varuna is also supposed to have cursed his father, Kashyapa, along with his mothers, Diti & Aditi, to be born in the Earth plane for having stolen a cow from him to do a yagna.
The father was reborn as Krishna’s father Vasudeva, and his mothers were born as Rohini and Devaki.
Attributes of Shatabhisha Nakshatra in Astrology
Spread from 6’40” up to 20’00” in Aquarius (Kumbha).
The Lord of Shatabhisha Nakshatra is Shani.
The oceans, rivers, lakes, etc., are derived from this star, which signifies aquatic marine life.
It concerns boats, concealment, the veil, and to hide beneath the veil, covering, armour, places to hide things, failures, no easy success, sorrow, death, restraint, idleness, peevishness, cynicism, and a mania for excessive cleanliness.
Diseases indicated by this star are dropsy, rheumatism, and heart disease.
Description of Shatabhisha Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise
According to Hora Sara: The native born in Shatabhisha Nakshatra will be foul-mouthed or garrulous, a cheat, a dependent, will lose his sons and brothers, be wealthy and fickle-minded. He will be of miserly disposition, cunning and will destroy his enemies.
According to Jataka Parijata: If a native is born in the star Shatabhisha, he will be an astrologer, tranquil, sparing in diet and daring.
According to Sage Narada: The native born in Shatabhisha Nakshatra will be rich with forts (i.e. will own large homes), be addicted to vices, cruel in disposition, will face ups and downs, and be heroic.
According to Brihat Samhita: The native born in the star Shatabhisha Nakshatra speaks clearly (or frankly), is unfortunate (or has some vice), conquers his enemies, is daring and hard to be won over.

The word Dhanishta can be split into Dhan and Eshtha. Dhana means wealth, and Eshtha means appropriate. The literal meaning of the word #Dhanishtha is appropriate wealth.

#Dhanishta #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, and tall structures can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: A Mrudhangam (Indian Drums)
The symbol for Dhanishtha is #Mardhala or #Mrudhangam. This is a kind of #drum. Mrudhangam is an indication that the baby’s hearing is fully developed. Additionally, the posture of a baby during this period is like Mrudhangam.

Deity: The #Ashtavasu
Dhanishtha’s deities are Ashtavasu. Vasu’s are the attendant deities of the #Vishnu. They are 8 elemental Gods. They include the 5 elements of the Panchamahabhootha.

The deity of Dhanishta Nakshatra is the Ashtavasus, the 8 Vasus.
Vasu means a ray of light. The 8 Vasus are Apah (Water), Dhruva (Pole Star), Dhara (Earth), Anila (Wind), Soma (Moon), Anala/Pavaka (Fire), Pratyusha (The Dawn) and Prabhasa (Splendour).
The yoni animal of this Nakshatra is the #female #lion.
The female lion is the prime hunter of the pride. A lion cannot be seen running and killing a deer or a buffalo, but only on rare occasions when he is alone and hungry would he be hunting for food.
It’s the female lion, who is the planner, hunter and provider of pride.
She is willing to put her life on the line for everyone in the group.
The male lions do have a job where they protect the pride, cubs and their ground.
Most of the hunting for the lioness takes place from dusk till dawn.
What a female lion does is what a Dhanishta native is meant to do. Regardless of one’s sex or gender, they become the hunter or the breadwinner.
They are fearless, competitive and protective. The spouse of a Dhanishta native will always be protecting the young children.
The symbolism of this Nakshatra is flute and drums, which shows such natives are always trained in some type of musical instrument.
The symbol also represents the rhythm of life.
It can be any rhythmic pattern or the flow or vibration of life, or even the rhythm of nerves.
It can be noticed that many people with this Nakshatra become great pulse readers because the pulse is the rhythm of our prana (breath), our life; hence Dhanishta natives can become great doctors.
Ashtavasus are the Gods of abundance that bring prosperity and wealth such as gold, jewellery, land, etc., into the earth plane.
The Ashtavasus can be connected with the 8 directions of space and hint at Vastushastra.
The lioness of this Nakshatra is in connection with Narasimhi, the consort of Narasimha avatar and one of the 8-mother Goddess or Ashta Matrikas.
Her shaking of mane could create chaos to the stars and planets.
She was born to pacify Lord Narasimha, connected with the planet Mars, who was born to protect his devotee Prahlada from the demon King Hiranyakashipu.
Bhishma, a central character in Mahabharata, could be connected to this Nakshatra as well because he was an incarnation of Prabhasa, one of the ashtavasus.
Prabhasa had stolen a cow with the help of his siblings (other Ashtavsus) and got cursed by the sage Vashishtha to be born on the Earth as mortals.
Vashishtha later reduced his curse effects by allowing other Ashtavsus except Prabhasa to leave the mortal world within a year.
Ganga, the river Goddess, promised to help Ashtavasus.
She became the wife of King Shantanu on the condition that he never said anything in her way.
The 7 children, the 7 Ashtavasus born to her, were drowned by Goddess Ganga in the river.
When the 8th child was born, Shantanu couldn’t bear it anymore and opposed his wife, who immediately left him, reminding him about his promise.
The 8th son, Prabhasa, was named Devarata later became Bhishma in the mortal form.
On the deathbed of arrows, Bhishma advised Vishnu sahasranama to the guilt-ridden Yudhishthira for having taken part in the Mahabharata, which caused death and destruction to many.
Bhishma was able to select his moment of death and left the Earth when Sun started Uttarayana, the northward motion in the sky.
The word Dhanishtha has the connotation of the word “Dhan” in it, which literally means wealth, and hence wealth-related themes could be seen with this Nakshatra.
Moreover, the stars of Dhanishtha Nakshatra form the diamond-shaped Delphinus constellation in the sky.
The Vasus, such as Agni (fire), Vayu (wind), etc., helped Lord Indra in his fight with the demons, and hence this Nakshatra can also indicate some type of fight, competition, and competitiveness in a person’s life.
The biggest part to take out from Bhishma’s mythology may be unsuitable for some readers, especially women under 40.
This Nakshatra causes either miscarriage or abortion.
Many charts with Moon in Dhanishtha show the mother dealing with miscarriages, or in a female’s chart, the native had a miscarriage.
Jupiter aspecting the 5th house or Moon may alleviate effects to some extent and lower the chances of such mishappenings.
Whenever miscarriage happens for a woman, they must know there was a spiritual yogi, saint etc., who was trying to come into the womb to pay their karma and leave back to the astral world.
Knowing that the female native was giving birth to some great yogi is kind of a silver lining on this event.
This Nakshatra is the Nakshatra connected strongly with Bhishma pitamaha from Mahabharata.
Bhishma was the most feared and mightiest warrior in Mahabharata.
He was the man who couldn’t be defeated even by his guru Parshurama but was eventually defeated by his nephew Arjuna.
Dhanishtha is also linked with land, real estate and especially Vastushastra.
Dhanishtha natives are connected with real estate or have many investment properties.
Interest in Vastu was rare except for one big anomaly; they all had Vastu dosha in their home, as in misalignment of the floor plan, objects or colour causing some type of disharmony.
Bhishma had a blessing from his father Shantanu to decide his moment of death, and even after Arjun pierced his body countless times with arrows, he stayed alive until the war ended.
From Bhishma’s life, it can be seen that Dhanishtha natives are calm and will only bring fear when challenged.
They always take on fighting and combat training once in their life.
Dhanishtha natives of all ages love boxing, UFC fighting and wrestling, but more so, they can also be seen having other-dimensional experiences as celestial beings.
Dhanishtha native will also have major karma with marriage.
They are either not interested in marriage, or they desperately want marriage/relationship but attract partners providing a lack of partnership security.
They will also have to fight a major war in their life, either in court, personal combat or society.

The literal meaning of the word Shravana is the ear. Shravana is 20th Nakshatra from Krittika Nakshatra and 17th from Ardra Nakshatra.

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

Symbol: #Three #Footprints
The symbol for Shravana Nakshatra is 3 footprints. This indicates that the baby is ready to enter a new world and survive in the new world. According to modern
medical science, most premature babies are born between 34 and 37 weeks.

Deity: Lord #Vishnu
The deity of this Shravana Nakshatra is Vishnu. The meaning of the word Vishnu is ‘all-pervasive’. Vishnu is one of the Aadhithya. Vishnu is the preserver of the Hindu trinity. He is depicted to have a dark complexion, 4 arms, and reclining on the Shesha.

He is free from fetters and bondages. Lord Vishnu knows what goes in the hearts of people. He saves embryos. He has 2 worlds, the earth, and the sky.

The yoni animal of the Shravana Nakshatra is the female #monkey.
The one thing known about monkeys from cartoons and Tarzan movies is that they swing from one branch to the other as a way of travelling.
They swing from one branch to the other for travelling.
Monkeys are extremely clever when it comes to stealing food and other things they can get their hands on.
In India, some thugs train monkeys to steal wallets and purses from people.
The Capuchin monkeys are extremely smart as they are able to make tools and use sign languages.
They are also very much into hygiene and will clean each other for bugs, lice and other critters in their fur, which allows them to socialize.
They enjoy living high on tree branches and prefer to be as high as possible.
Like natives of Purva Ashada Nakshatra, the Shravana natives will shift from one job to another countless times in their life before they settle into something meaningful and long-lasting.
Monkeys are able to leap from one branch to another, which tells us these natives will take big leaps in their lives in terms of relocation.
They are extremely clever and are able to learn and adapt very quickly.
They are very good at mimicry as monkeys are very apt at it.
The symbol of this Nakshatra is three footsteps, ear, and trident.
The symbol of the ear represents listening.
Shravana natives must listen to everything carefully, or they can miss some of the most important information, advice, and wisdom in their life.
The ear also shows the ability to listen to divine sounds beyond the scope of the normal five body senses.
The deity of the Shravana Nakshatra is the Vamana avatar of Lord Vishnu and is associated with the planet Jupiter.
Shravana is also considered to be the birth star of Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge.
Saraswati is the Goddess that blesses one with Vac siddhi, or the power of truth in one’s words.
Vamana was born to mother Aditi to bring down the desire of Mahabali, the demon king, to possess the world.
He was about to do a yagna that would let him conquer the world.
Lord Vishnu, in the form of Vamana, a dwarf brahmin child, approached king Mahabali with a wooden umbrella and asked for 3 steps of land.
His guru, Shukracharya, warned him that it was Vishnu in disguised as a dwarf brahmin.
However, Mahabali said that he couldn’t deny the request of a brahmin.
Shukracharya tried to stop him by blocking the water to come out of the kamandalu (water pot held in one’s hand) by blocking the pipe.
Vamana poked a hole in the pipe using a straw made of sharply pointed kusha grass.
Shukracharya injured his one eye and was blinded by this act.
Eventually, water flowed, and it was sprinkled by Mahabali granting his request.
Vamana immediately expanded into a giant, and with his first 2 steps, he covered the three worlds of Heaven, Earth and Patala Loka.
Vamana asked Mahabali for a piece of land for his 3rd step.
Mahabali realised the greatness of Vishnu and offered his own head as a place to place his 3rd step.
Vishnu was pleased with Mahabali’s act and blessed him to be Indra in the next manvantara and granted him the wish to come back to see his people once in a year, which is the festival of Onam, celebrated in Kerala.
Note the festival of Onam is celebrated on the day when Sun is in the Leo sign, and the Moon is transiting the Shravana Nakshatra.
From the mythology, it can be seen that Shravana natives will secretly take over a high-ranking spot by throwing the individual off of their position, similar to what Vamana did to Mahabali.
Shravana natives take leaps and bounds in far away or foreign places because Vamana grew so big that he conquered three different lokas.
A president or prime minister with such qualities will actually fight for the people and the established government.
If they are at their job or business, they will deal with three different project aspects of their work.
Vamana took three steps; hence for Shravana natives, three steps like three steps to promotion, three attempts to pass an exam, moving to three different countries, states or cities in their lifetime are prominently seen.
Shukracharya advised the king not to give the donation of 3 steps to Vamana, and when he tried to stop, he got his eye injured.
This aspect shows that either the native’s mentor or spouse (Venus in astrology) will give advice several times but fail to react until it’s too late or when something has gone wrong.
Shravana natives must listen to their spouse’s advice when it involves land, property, real estate, etc.
Shravana is coherent with the Dhanishta Nakshatra in making a person a great vocalist.
The tricky, sweet, and gentle vocal theme of Vamana makes Shravana natives natural magicians and hypnotists.
A vocalist and a singer usually have the same effect on the listener; although Dhanishtha is more about instrumental skills, they fall in the same category.
Attributes of Shravana Nakshatra in Astrology
Spread after 10’00” degree up to 23’20” in Capricorn (Makar).
The Lord is Saturn (Shani). It is the birth star of Saraswati.
From this is derived light-rays, lion, beasts, horse, etc.
From Shravana Nakshatra, the art of hearing, education and audible education is derived.
As the birth star of Saraswati, it signifies and bestows scholarship, educational proficiency, respect for the shastras, knowledge, etc.
The eminent natives in education and knowledge, the ones who are listened to by others with respect, are influenced by this star. It also causes the disease of the urinatory channel.
