#Revati #Nakshatra is the last of 27 #nakshatras. If you were born when the #moon was between 16:40-30:00 degrees #Pisces

#Sanskrit Name: रेवती (Revati) comes from the Sanskrit word रेवत् (#wealth and #prosperity). Revati indicates a person who is blessed, #beautiful, and #prosperous.

Planetary Ruler: #Mercury. This planet is associated with the intellect, literature, logic, artistic expression, and commerce.

Nakshatra Group: Godly. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Revati is a godly nakshatra. People in this group are generally good-natured and fortunate in life. However, they may struggle with pride and a sense of entitlement.

Zodiac Sign: Pisces. Pisces is known as the sign of the fishes. Revati natives are intuitive, empathic, creative, and sociable.

Deity: Surya (#Pushan). In Vedic theology, Surya is the lord of the sun and is revered as an expansion of God. The sun god is worshiped prominently in many cultures and is known to bestow favors and fortune on his worshippers.

Symbol: A #fish. This represents alacrity, learning, movement, and hidden features.

Power: To nourish. Persons born under the star of Revati often have a knack for uplifting, encouraging, and nourishing others.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Revati are Day (दे), Doe (दो), Cha (च), and Chi (ची). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Revatis are sincere and earnest, known for their no-nonsense approach to life. They have an outgoing, social personality. Often good-looking, they win over others with their charm, affection, and warmth.

Revati natives have a sixth sense — their intuition is strong. For this reason, they are highly empathic souls, and they can use this ability to comfort, console, and guide others in difficult times. In addition, they have an upbeat and optimistic outlook on life. They can be a source of cheer and joy for those around them.

You stand up for what you believe in. You are loyal to your friends and loved ones. You can tap into deep reserves of creativity and enthusiasm — however, you might occasionally get carried away at times and find yourself in an extreme position.

Revati Careers
Revati’s can do well in careers that involve creativity, learning, or helping others. They may shy away from the limelight and generally will work diligently even if they do not receive much recognition.

Some ideal professions include:

Public servant or charity worker
Writer, journalist, actor, or entertainer
Linguist, translator, or interpreter
Religious worker, renunciate, or priest
Weaknesses
Due to their high ideals, Revati-natives can occasionally slip into bouts of low self-esteem. This is caused by an inability to accept one’s short-comings and take practical, disciplined steps toward self-improvement. Or it may just be a bad habit of unwarranted self-criticism. You should practice extending the same sort of compassion to yourself which you naturally extend to others.

On the flipside, Revatis can sometimes be proud of their good qualities and think better of themselves than others. Their giving spirit may come in part from a desire to prove themselves as superior. When this is the case, they will end up resenting those whom they aim to help. If you resonate with this issue, you should study the Bhagavad-gita and try to understand the principle of selfless sacrifice, in which one sees oneself as merely an instrument of God.

Your empathic nature is a great strength, but if left unchecked, it can cause you to be overly sensitive to the feelings and needs of others. You should always be sure that your own needs are fulfilled before you extend yourself for others — otherwise, you will end up burning out. Self-care is an essential aspect of caring for others.

You have clean habits. As a deva-gana, or godly nakshatra, Revatis are naturally drawn to a clean and orderly lifestyle. They have good personal hygiene and they respect their body as a gift from the divine.

You are well-liked by your peers. Your compassionate and helping nature wins you many friends who genuinely appreciate you for your good qualities.

You are a natural counselor. As an empathic person, you can easily relate to others. This makes you an excellent friend and guide for others.

Revati Compatibility

Note: Compatibility in relationships is a complex science that looks at many different factors. You should always consult with an experienced astrologer who can carefully analyze the charts of both you and your partner.

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

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

Second Quarter (20:00-23:20 degrees Pisces): Capricorn. You are balanced and down-to-earth. You are more patient than most, but this can also make you appear somewhat dull to others.

Fourth Quarter (26:40-30:00 degrees Pisces): Pisces. You have a strong intellect and are a keen student. You’re a spiritual seeker. You long for a traditional and natural way of life.

Revati in Electional Astrology

The electional nature of Revati is Mridu, “soft” or “mild.” Revati is an excellent nakshatra for:

Weaknesses
Due to their intellectual nature, Uttara-bhadras can sometimes over-analyze people or situations. In extreme cases, this can lead to a habit of manipulating others for personal gain. Always remember that there is more to life than can be seen through the intellectual / scientific lens. Emotions, sensations, tastes, and so many other dimensions of human life transcend their materialistic explanation. By finding and staying true to your personal sense of purpose, you will be able to consistently treat others with warmth and kindness.

Uttara-bhadrapada natives may also exhibit laziness at times. They prefer to have things come together naturally, and they don’t like to exert great effort to accomplish something. For this reason, they are sometimes irresponsible, or they perform their duties in a half-hearted way.

You may wish to isolate yourself and withdraw from the world if you cannot see a favorable path forward. It is important for you to stay connected with people who genuinely care about you, especially mentors or elders who can give you guidance during difficult times.

Purva-bhadra natives are often religiously inclined. However, they tend to seek the essence of religion and may not give as much importance to dogma or ritual. They detest hypocrisy and superficial modes of thinking. They are intelligent, learned, and scholarly, and they employ these traits to carve out their own life path.

In the face of uncertainty, Purva-bhadra natives may waver in their determination. This is due to their tendency to doubt their own capabilities and also an inborn fear of failure. When defeated, they may become angry and frustrated rather than seeing the experience in a positive light.

You keep to yourself, and others may find it difficult coming close to you. If you are unable to control your stress levels, you may suffer from poor health and mental issues. However, with the right friends and mentors, and with good physical and spiritual habits, you can easily avoid the pitfalls of your lower nature.

However, this can be a powerful impetus to pursue spiritual perfection.

You are good at making money. Your independent nature helps you easily find ways to make money no matter what circumstances you find yourself in.

You wish to escape from the normal, expected course of life. You have no interest in riding the conveyor belt of modern life — grade school, then high school, then college, then work, then marriage, then children, then retirement, then old age, and finally death.

You have no permanent home. Your desire for variety and excitement in life may prevent you from settling in a permanent home. Or you may have many homes over the course of your lifetime.

#Sanskrit Name: शतभिषा (Shatabhisha) comes from the Sanskrit words शत (one #hundred) and भिषज् (remedy). One meaning of Shatabhisha is “a hundred cures,” indicating strength, perceptivity, and an aptitude for healing.

Planetary Ruler: #Rahu. The planet Rahu is equated with the North node of the moon and is described in the Vedas as the disembodied head of the demon Rahu. Vedic lore describes that eclipses occur when the sun or moon is swallowed by the head of Rahu. Rahu is associated with trouble, disease, and radical change.

Nakshatra Group: Monstrous. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Shatabhisha is a monstrous nakshatra. People in this group are generally intuitive, strong-willed, and assertive. They may be prone to anger and violence.

Zodiac Sign: Aquarius. Aquarians are intelligent, idealistic, determined, and philosophically-inclined. They are often involved in charitable work or other spiritual or humanitarian endeavors.

Deity: #Varuna. In Vedic theology, Varuna is the god of the #water element and all bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans. He also is the lord of aquatic beings.

Symbol: An #empty #circle. This represents the unknown, mystery, and self-containment.

Power: To cure. Persons born under the star of #Shatabhishak are natural healers, and they can excel in professions related to the #healing #arts.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Shatabhisha are Go (गो), Sa (सा), See (सी), and Sue (सू). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths

In addition, they also work well on their own, without much assistance from others. They are easily able to organize their thoughts, lay out their priorities, and proceed step by step in a systematic way. Thus they bring a real power to whatever project they choose to take up.

Shatabhisha natives are attracted to the mysterious side of life. They may have a keen interest in mysticism, and they are often deeply religious. However, they may prefer not to participate much in the social aspect of worship and instead focus on their own private spiritual practices.

You are a perceptive and thoughtful person, and you want to make a meaningful contribution to the world. By staying grounded and maintaining daily self-care practices, such as meditation, exercise, and spending time in nature, you can maximize your strengths while minimizing your negative tendencies.

Shatabhisha Careers
Persons born in Shatabhisha can do well in careers that involve helping others or are in some way pioneering. Their career may start off slow, but it will improve as they get older and learn from their experiences.

Some ideal professions include:

Clerical worker or data scientist
Pharmacy technician, herbalist, chemist, or scientist
Healer, mystic, monk, or philosopher
Astronaut, pilot, or air force service member
Weaknesses
Shatabhisha natives’ natural self-confidence can sometimes lead them to act rudely or speak harshly with others. They may not recognize the consequences of their actions until it is too late. This can lead to feelings of apathy or depression. They are also prone to feeling misunderstood, restricted, and lonely.

Shatabhishas tend to have an addictive personality type. They are not afraid to go to extremes, even if this might have a negative impact on their health and well-being. The cruel streak that comes up from time to time with others can also turn inward, taking the form of a self-destructive mentality. They may get stuck in a rut and feel helpless to access their inner strengths and connect to God or their higher power.

You like to make decisions quickly, based on what feels right in the moment. However, it is important to remember that your intuition and instinct should always be balanced by careful reasoning and especially guidance from friends, family, and mentors who genuinely care about your welfare.

Recommended: Learn more about science of the Vedas and how Vedic knowledge can help you elevate your consciousness and enhance your life.

Other Personality Traits
You have an auspicious trajectory in life. Although you may go through many ups and downs, you are a genuine person who learns from mistakes and continually strives to improve in life.

Solitude, contemplation, and meditation are good for you. You have a solitary nature. You have a need for quiet time where you can gather your thoughts and process your experiences. Setting aside at least an hour or so for this type of self-care will empower you in many other areas.

You don’t give to others easily. You have a hard time giving in charity or caring about the needs of others. Many perceive you as cold. While this is not always a negative trait, it will benefit you to also cultivate your warm and nurturing side.

You can be defensive. You don’t yield a position easily, and may even continue to try to argue a point long after you’ve already been defeated / proven wrong. Remember that being wrong is not the end of the world! It’s far easier to just be humble, and accept criticism or corrections as they come, rather than constantly being on guard trying to defend yourself from perceived attackers.

Zodiac Sign: Capricorn (1st and 2nd Quarter) and Aquarius (3rd and 4th Quarter). Capricorns are peculiar and powerful. They are intelligent, thoughtful, and careful in making decisions. Aquarians are intelligent, idealistic, determined, and philosophically-inclined. They are often involved in charitable work or other spiritual or humanitarian endeavors.

Deity: The #Eight #Vasus. In Vedic theology, the Vasus preside over the #elements. In the #ancient #history known as the Mahabharata, Grandfather Bhisma was an incarnation of the Vasu known as Dyu.

Symbol: A #drum. This represents the rhythm, #dance, #music, #divine #timing, and great influence.

Power: To sanctify. Persons born under the star of Dhanishta are able to salvage and utilize things that others have discarded or perceived to be devoid of value.

The corresponding syllables for the four quarters ( #padas) of Dhanishta are Ga (गा), Ghee (गी), Goo (गु), and Gay (गे). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Dhanishta natives are honest and straightforward individuals. They exude confidence and are able to overcome any obstacles that come between them and their desired objectives. They are resourceful, capable, and highly intelligent. These qualities make them excellent problem-solvers — ideal people to have around no matter what the situation.

Those born under the star of Dhanishta enjoy adventure. The thrill of entering the unknown and meeting unexpected challenges head on is a joy for them. They are good-hearted souls who take pleasure in giving to others. They do not hesitate to go out of their way to help a friend in need, or even a stranger.

You are musically-inclined and multi-talented. You have many aspirations in life, and you will somehow find a way to fulfill many or even all of them, especially if you align yourself with the blessings of God.

Dhanishta Careers
Persons born in Dhanishta can do well in careers in the performance or entertainment fields, or which give them an opportunity to exercise their inborn helping nature.

Some ideal professions include:

Musician, dancer, performer, or entertainer
Doctor, nurse, herbalist, or healer
Non-profit worker or philanthropist
Real estate agent, salesperson, or investor
Weaknesses
Dhanishtas’ fortunate, confidence, and outgoing nature can sometimes lead them to become egotistical. You should be careful to actively cultivate a humble and compassionate character. Otherwise you may become overly opinionated, argumentative, and boastful. These traits can alienate friends and community members who care about your well-being.

Dhanistha natives can be inconsiderate of others feelings and needs. They may even resort to violence if opposed by others. They can be quite ruthless if their patience is pushed to its breaking point. In addition, their fearlessness may cause them to behave recklessly, indulging in intoxicants, narcotics, and other dangerous substances. They may become addicted to any one of these substances if they do not practice temperance and self-control.

You value getting things done more than anything else, and as a result, you may resort to deceit or dishonesty. However, bear in mind that the end does not always justify the means. Actions have consequences, often far worse than we initially imagine. The satisfaction offered by a noble, moral life is far greater than anything fame or wealth can provide.

You don’t like to take advice from others. You prefer to carve out your own path in life and may have a hard time taking guidance from others. Be careful, as it is often much easier to learn from others mistakes than having to figure everything out on your own.

You have many diverse interests. Many different activities, hobbies, and topics of knowledge attract you. However you may find some of these interests to compete with one another, and you will have to ultimately choose how you wish to spend your time, being unable to dedicate yourself to everything that interests you.

You may feel dissatisfied in life. It is difficult to find satisfaction in the modern age, and it is all the more difficult for Vishakha natives, who feel somewhat restless and conflicted in their life path. You should try to seek spiritual satisfaction instead of looking for fulfillment on the material platform.

#Swati #Nakshatra is the 15th of 27 #nakshatras. If you were born when the #moon was between 6:40-20:00 degrees #Libra

#Sanskrit Name: स्वाति (Swati) comes from the Sanskrit words सु (very good) and आति (goer). One meaning of Swati is a “great mover,” indicating movement, independence, and an idealistic nature.

Planetary Ruler: #Rahu. The planet Rahu is equated with the North node of the moon and is described in the Vedas as the disembodied head of the demon Rahu. #Vedic lore describes that eclipses occur when the sun or moon is swallowed by the head of Rahu. Rahu is associated with trouble, disease, and radical change.

Nakshatra Group: Godly. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Swati is a godly nakshatra. People in this group are generally good-natured and fortunate in life. However, they may struggle with pride and a sense of entitlement.

Zodiac Sign: Libra. Libra natives possess excellent taste and good judgement. They are friendly, learned, and dignified, but may be prone to arrogance.

Deity: #Vayu. The ruler of the air and wind, Vayu is also intrinsically connected with the life force, or #prana, through the breath. He is respected as a powerful god who can blow away hindrances and contaminations like the wind he controls.

Symbol: A #fresh blade of grass. This represents the innocence of youth, flexibility, and innate potential for strength.

Power: To disperse or bring to an end. The changeable nature and power of the wind gives Swatis the ability to wipe the slate completely clean. They can destroy things or make them disappear, allowing for a fresh start.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Swati are Ru (रू), Re (रे), Ro (रो), and Ta (ता). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Swati natives are #independent by nature — they don’t depend on others for motivation. You are confident and often drawn to pursue adventure. Change doesn’t disturb you, and you have the ability to be flexible and adjust to whatever circumstances you come across. Happiness comes naturally to Swatis who are in their element. You tend to see the glass as half full and can usually find something positive in any situation.

People like you — you endear yourself to others with your modesty, compassion, and generous nature. Another remarkable quality is your skill at communication, for you manage to be simultaneously honest and charming. Thanks to this rare harmony and your intelligence, people are inclined to listen to you and you have the potential to be very influential.

Doing the right thing is important to Swati natives, and this results in an interest in ethics, morality, and theology. However, you don’t use ideas about right and wrong to create excessive boundaries and limitations. You are liberal in your thinking and willing to accept many people and practices, and may explore a number of different paths in your life. Although you may not pursue it right away, many Swatis feel most fulfilled once they find spiritual meaning in their lives.

Swati Careers
As excellent self-starters, Swatis can bring a lot of energy to their work. They will do best in careers where their independence is utilized rather than stifled.

Some ideal professions include:
Lawyer, judge, or politician
Sales executive, stock broker, or entrepreneur
Travel agent, travel journalist, or other career that involves travel
Member of the clergy or other spiritual vocation
Weaknesses
The downside of Swati’s spontaneous nature is a tendency to be impulsive. You might jump into a course of action on the spur of the moment, despite time spent making a different decision. It can be difficult for you to stick with the plan and you might feel trapped, restless, and discontented. Remember that real progress won’t be made unless you can train yourself to focus and control your more temperamental side.

Anger can be an issue for Swati natives. You might damage yourself unnecessarily, sabotaging yourself and your relationships, if you aren’t able to curb your anger when you sense that it’s about to get out of hand. Another way you might hinder yourself is a habit of extreme procrastination. Don’t let your dislike of structure and commitment prevent you from taking care of necessary tasks. Immediate pleasure is often your go-to, but a life of continual indulgence and living in the moment will quickly cause you trouble.

The flipside of your independence is that you often focus too exclusively on your own needs and desires. You may pursue opportunities for personal gain at the expense of others. This may not be intentional, but unless you train yourself to consider others’ needs you could become quite self-absorbed.

Swatis must learn to harness their proclivity for change. Your ability to remove the old and make space for the new is a gift when it’s used in a constructive way, but it can easily be destructive instead. Don’t tear things apart just for the sake of it. Finding this balance will be easier if you can remain internally centered and grounded — making time for solitude and reflection can help you immensely.

Recommended: Learn more about science of the Vedas and how Vedic knowledge can help you elevate your consciousness and enhance your life.

Other Personality Traits
You are prone to go into debt. Your love of spontaneity and enjoying the moment can lead you to make financial decisions that aren’t exactly prudent.

You will travel a lot. You love adventure and it’s hard to keep you pinned down to one place. You might even live abroad.

You may achieve some renown. Your dynamic personality attracts others to you and makes you hard to forget. You’ll be well-known and may experience some degree of fame.

You might have unrealistic goals. You have lots of ideas and aren’t short of ambitions, but try not to get ahead of yourself. You’ll be able to accomplish more if you ground your plans in reality — taking advice from others in this regard will be helpful.

You are a good networker. Your charisma and communication skills give you influence over others, and your travels put you in contact with a wide variety of people. You’ll have many connections to call upon when needed.

You may be disinterested in your family. Home and family don’t have the same power over you as they do for many others. For you, it is what is found outside the bounds of the familiar that motivates you. Your focus is on adventure rather than comfort and security.

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

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

Ashwini

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

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

First Quarter (6:40-10:00 degrees Libra): Sagittarius. You are always curious to learn something new and aren’t afraid to ask questions — your curiosity also extends to a love for travel. Working to improve the welfare of others is important to you, and you’re likely to give generously to charities and engage in other works of philanthropy. However, you can be proud.

Second Quarter (10:00-13:20 degrees Libra): Capricorn. You are more settled than other Swatis — you are grounded and methodical in your approach. However, it can be difficult for you to overcome your propensity for indulgence and you might fall into bad habits. You can tend to be selfish.

Third Quarter (13:20-16:40 degrees Libra): Aquarius. Your mind is a powerful tool, and you are intellectual and able to think out of the box. In general, you are very creative. You have a knack for business, but can spend your money too readily.

Fourth Quarter (16:40-20:00 degrees Libra): Pisces. You often come up with ideas that no one else would have thought of — you are imaginative and can find solutions that are both clever and original. You often put others before yourself. You have a good reputation and are respected by many people.

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

The electional nature of Swati is Chara, “mobile.” Swati is an excellent nakshatra for:

Buying a vehicle
Changing residence, jobs, or other life changes
Beginning a pilgrimage
Planting vegetables or other crops, and general gardening work
Travel

#Chitra #Nakshatra is the fourteenth of 27 #nakshatras. If you were born when the moon was between 23:20 degrees #Virgo and 6:40 degrees #Libra
#Sanskrit Name: चित्रा (Chitra). Some meanings of Chitra are “wonderful” and “variegated,” indicating charisma, versatility, and physical #beauty.

Planetary Ruler: #Mars. The Romans worshiped Mars as the god of war, a tradition that had its roots in the scriptures of #Vedic India. Mars is associated with masculinity, power, vitality, courage, and conflict.

Nakshatra Group: Monstrous. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Chitra is a monstrous nakshatra. People in this group are generally intuitive, strong-willed, and assertive. They may be prone to anger and violence.

Zodiac Signs: Virgo (1st and 2nd quarter) and Libra (3rd and 4th quarter). Virgos are intelligent, practical, capable problem solvers who like to help others with their abilities — however, they can be critical of both themselves and others. Libra natives possess excellent taste and good judgement. They are friendly, learned, and dignified, but may be prone to arrogance.

Deity: #Vishvakarma. In Vedic theology, Vishvakarma is the architect of the gods, the divine builder and craftsman. He is credited for designing the universe at the instruction of Lord Brahma.

Symbol: #Pearl or #jewel. This represents beauty, opulence, brightness, and glamour. This is sometimes related to the spirit or soul that shines brightly within everyone.

Power: To gain merit. In the Vedic understanding, merit or good fortune is achieved through acts of virtue and piety.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Chitra are Pay (पे), Po (पो), Ra (रा), and Ree (री). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
It’s usually easy to spot Chitras in a crowd — you have a dynamic energy and striking appearance. Beautiful, fashionable, and charismatic, you are hard to overlook. Social settings often bring out the best in you. Your personal charm and conversational skills make you easy to befriend.

Beautiful things, places, and people attract you. Artistic and creative, you can rearrange anything to make it more aesthetically pleasing. You keep yourself and your space clean and have a great eye for detail.

There is much in the world that interests you. A strong curiosity leads you to keep learning throughout your life. You are well-read and often impress others with your intelligence. It’s easy to respect you. Alongside being talkative and social, you have a composure and depth that lends weight to your presence.

However, there’s more to you than intelligence and an attractive appearance. You also have the ability to accomplish a great deal. You are motivated and throw yourself into pursuing your goals with energy. You aren’t someone that should be underestimated. You have the strength and bravery to stand up for what you believe in and see it through to the end.

Chitra Careers
Positions that are dynamic, creative, and fully engage Chitras’ abilities will be the most fulfilling for them. They should avoid careers that are too routine or where they have to work under someone less capable than they are.

Some ideal professions include:

Architect, interior designer, or landscaper
Advertiser, writer, or media personality
Jewelry or fashion designer
Surgeon
Weaknesses
Desire is your primary motivation and you can tend to be self-indulgent. Your sexual desires are especially strong. If you let them consume you, you may neglect other important areas in your life. Since desire is what motivates you the most, you may try to use it to motivate others as well. Be wary of manipulating or seducing others in order to what you want.

Your desires can become more important to you than anything else, leading you to break rules and act unethically to achieve your goals. As a result, you might not always be honest and can be hard to trust. Your lack of integrity could cause damage when it is revealed.

Arrogance is another struggle for Chitras. It can be hard to be humble when you are so admired, but failure to do so could cause you many problems in your personal relationships and in your own sense of fulfillment. You might come across as smug or shallow.

Skill in conversation means that you always have something to say, but you don’t always know when it would be better to remain silent. You are outspoken, often speaking without thinking, and may regret your words later on after it’s too late. You tend to be argumentative and may be too ready to give and express judgement.

Things that are too routine can quickly lose your interest — you can get bored with situations, projects, and people. Patience doesn’t come easily to you, and you can be easily irritated and are not very good at hiding it.

Recommended: Learn more about science of the Vedas and how Vedic knowledge can help you elevate your consciousness and enhance your life.

Other Personality Traits
You live life to the fullest. You don’t like to do things halfway. Your zest for life makes you fun to be around and could lead you to great heights.

You place more importance on externals. Aesthetics mean a lot to you. This could make you overlook the value of things that aren’t externally attractive. It can also make you feel pressure to pretend to be something you aren’t.

You are a powerful leader. Chitra natives have the ability to lead others. Your conviction, confidence, and motivation will often put you at the head of the pack.

You are sometimes too hasty. You have a habit of speaking or acting first and thinking later. You can get a lot accomplished, but failing to think things through could get you into trouble.

You are progressive. You are forward-thinking and open to new ideas and new ways of doing things. You don’t get caught up on tradition or systems that may be outdated.

You are spiritually inclined. You desire to find spiritual meaning in your life. Feeling spiritual fulfillment is very important to most Chitras.

Chitra Compatibility

First Quarter (23:20-26:40 degrees Virgo): Leo. You are a natural leader and possess great inner power, and you are physically attractive.

You have natural skill with language and are an especially gifted communicator. When you want to do something, there’s little that can stop you — you have a strong will.

Third Quarter (0:00-3:20 degrees Libra): Libra. You are liked by many people. You are courageous and always strive to do what is right. Your confidence allows you to stand up for what you think is right even in the face of opposition. You are patient, and probably live a lavish lifestyle.

You feel no shame, even though you are prone to do things many would consider immoral or, potentially, illegal. You can be a bit temperamental and are easily agitated and hard to predict. Your life is not always an easy one — you face a series of difficulties that may be hard for you to overcome.

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

Beginning a journey
Undergoing a medical operation
Marriage ceremonies
Conceiving a child
Purchasing new clothes or jewelry

#Purvaphalguni #Nakshatra is the eleventh of 27 #nakshatras. If you were born when the moon was between 13:20-26:40 degrees Leo
Sanskrit Name: पूर्व फाल्गुनी (Purva-phalguni) comes from the Sanskrit words पूर्व (early) and फल्गु (spring season). One meaning of #Purva-phalguni is “the early reddish one,” indicating the color and fresh life of new spring, sensuality, and a youthful nature.

Planetary Ruler: #Venus. The Ancient Romans worshipped Venus as the #goddess of desire, sex, and sensuality. Venus is associated with material pleasures and prosperity, an enjoying spirit, and the arts.

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

Zodiac Sign: Leo. Leo is famously associated with the king of the jungle, the lion. Leos are powerful, brave, big-hearted individuals who may struggle with pride.

Deity: Surya ( #Aryaman). In #Vedic theology, Surya is the lord of the #sun and is revered as an expansion of God. The sun god is worshiped prominently in many cultures and is known to bestow favors and fortune on his worshippers.

Symbol: #Hammock. This represents rest, rejuvenation, sex, and pleasure.

Power: To create. This creative ability is associated with begetting children, giving birth, and literally and figuratively bringing things into existence.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Purva-phalguni are Mo (मो), Ta (टा), Tee (टी), and Tu (टू). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Natives of Purva-phalguni are characterized by their zest for life. You have a youthful energy, always eager for new experiences and ready to act. It’s almost impossible not to have fun in your company. Happiness seems to go hand in hand with your exuberant, carefree nature.

You seem to be good at everything you do. You are artistic, musical, and have a great love for all the fine arts. You are a true romantic. You have a refined sense of pleasure — you love to enjoy and you do it well. You may become wealthy, and are charitable with that wealth.

Anyone you meet will be struck by your air of elegance. You keep yourself clean and dress well, speak eloquently, and have a good sense of humor. You won’t be caught speaking raucously or acting unrefined in any way. Invariably soft-spoken, you create a sense of gentleness and sophistication.

Sociable by nature, you love to spend time with friends and make new acquaintances, and you’ll have a good deal of influence over those around you.

Purva-phalguni Careers
Your confidence and your creativity make you well-suited for leadership roles where your ideas can be utilized. Positions where you can use your skill with people will also be satisfying for you.

Some ideal professions include:

Actor/actress, musician, artist, or model
Entrepreneur, C-level executive, or manager
Teacher, professor, or personal trainer
Therapist or counselor
Fashion, cosmetics, photography, or the wedding industry
Weaknesses
Your need for excitement and your constant craving for sensual stimulation can get out of hand — it can make you impulsive, reckless, and excessively passionate. In your endless search for new experiences, you may be forced to explore increasingly questionable territory.

Right and wrong don’t hold a lot of sway over you, and you may be drawn to behavior that could be harmful to yourself or to others just for the novelty of it. You may behave promiscuously, overly eager for sexual pleasure. You have a tendency towards addiction and indulgence. Money can pass too quickly and too extravagantly through your hands.

Since pleasure is your primary motivation, you can be lazy and unmotivated when it comes to activities that aren’t particularly enjoyable. If you give in to this inclination, practical tasks will be left undone and your life could become unstable.

Vanity is one of your greatest weaknesses, and you can come across as entitled or pretentious. You generally experience good fortune in your life — talented, attractive, and charismatic, you often feel like you’re on top of the world. Be conscious of the privilege you experience or you may use it as an excuse to look down on others.

Purva-phalgunis will ultimately experience greater satisfaction in life by cultivating humility and gratitude, and grounding themselves by setting boundaries for their sensual pleasures.

Recommended: Learn more about the science of the Vedas and how Vedic knowledge can help you elevate your consciousness and enhance your life.

Other Personality Traits
You feel lucky. Your life is generally one of good fortune, and your natural optimism helps you find the silver lining in even the darkest of clouds.

You might be selfish. Your love for enjoying can make you somewhat self-centered. You might seem almost ruthless in the pursuance of your own pleasure, at the expense of others.

You take responsibility for your actions. You might do some pretty crazy things in the heat of the moment, but you are always ready to deal maturely with the consequences.

You may go into debt. Because of your love for living life to the fullest, you might live above your means. Be mindful to keep track of your expenses, and be ready to limit yourself sometimes. A budget might be helpful.

#Magha #Nakshatra is the tenth of 27 #nakshatras. If you were born when the moon was between 0:00-13:20 degrees #Leo

#Sanskrit Name: मघा (Magha). Some meanings of the word magha are “power,” and “wealth,” indicating good fortune, inner strength, and a strict demeanor.

Planetary Ruler: #Ketu. Known in the Puranas as the headless body of the shadow planet Rahu, Ketu is associated with intensity, loss, and transcendence.

Nakshatra Group: Monstrous. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Magha is a monstrous nakshatra. People in this group are generally intuitive, strong-willed, and assertive. They may be prone to anger and violence.

Zodiac Sign: Leo. Leo is famously associated with the king of the jungle, the lion. Leos are powerful, brave, big-hearted individuals who may struggle with pride.

Deity: #Daksha, or the #Pitris. In Sanskrit, “pitri” refers to one’s deceased ancestors. Daksha is the leader of the Prajapatis, who are considered the original progenitors of mankind and thus the original #ancestors.

Symbol: A #palanquin or #throne. This represents royalty, nobility, power, and wealth.

Power: To renounce. Although Maghas attract much material opulence and success, this nakshatra has the ability to let go. This power is also associated with the ultimate renunciation of the mortal body at death.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Magha are Ma (मा), Me (मी), Moo (मू), and May (मे). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
The nakshatra Magha is often considered “the mighty one.” Magha natives are individuals of great power. Leadership comes naturally to you, and your bravery, ambition, and industriousness will likely put you in a position of influence. Wealth and prosperity are yours for the taking.

You have a sharp intellect and are able to understand things on a deep level. You can reach to the depths of any subject, and this sets you apart from being merely intelligent — you are wise. You don’t lead only with force and brawn, but with wisdom and warmth.

People trust you because you are always straightforward and truthful. You don’t hide your motives. You’re unlikely to turn a blind eye to inconvenient facts, since you prefer to face difficulty directly — you take the truth head on and use it to bolster, rather than discourage, your optimism.

You are loyal and loving to your friends and family. You are fair and responsible and never let down the people who count on you. Generally well-behaved and modest, your personal qualities and big heart endear you to those who know you and, potentially, to the masses.

Magha Careers
Magha natives will shine in careers where their leadership abilities are utilized, and where there is the opportunity for growth and advancement. They should avoid careers where they have little or no independence.

Some ideal professions include:

Entrepreneur, C-level executive, or manager
Politician or lawyer
Historian or librarian
Public speaker or actor/actress
Weaknesses
One of the greatest challenges Magha natives face is their own pride. The strong ego you require in order to achieve your ambitions can also lead to arrogance. Since you are more driven than most people, you will likely end up in positions of leadership — and this can lead you to feel that you are better than others.

When this egotistical nature gets the better of you, you may intentionally or unintentionally hurt others. You have a hot temper and dislike being threatened, and can respond explosively to perceived slights. You can be too outspoken and may be disdainful of others opinions, especially when you believe those opinions present a threat to your own position.

Ultimately, Maghas crave attention and approval. This may come as a surprise to outsiders who see only your strength and confidence. Your incredible drive and ambition stem largely from your need to gain approval from others and, more challengingly, from yourself. Nothing you do is ever good enough in your own eyes.

Your exacting perfectionism could leave you forever unsatisfied if you don’t learn to fully accept yourself, flaws and failings included. Otherwise, you could go through your whole life doubting yourself and being resentful of those you compare yourself to.

Other Personality Traits
You are religious. You are drawn to spirituality and enjoy ceremony and ritual. You are loyal to your religious tradition.

You like tradition. Tradition is something that you believe should be respected. In general, you have great appreciation for past generations and what they have established through their own endeavors. Family traditions are important to you and you will strive to uphold them throughout your life.

You may feel racially superior. Your tendency towards arrogance can lead you to feel that your own racial or ethnic group is superior to others. Try to develop empathy for those who are different from you by establishing friendships with those from different backgrounds and exposing yourself to other cultures.

You are well-served. Your leadership qualities make others naturally follow you. There will probably be many people who follow your instructions and do their best to please you.

You can be authoritarian. You can fall into the habit of acting like your opinion is the only one that matters. This can make you boss others around without due consideration for their thoughts or feelings.

Magha Compatibility
Magha sexuality is symbolized by a male rat. In terms of physical compatibility, this makes them an ideal match for persons born under Purva-phalguni nakshatra.

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

Bharani
Krittikas in Aries
Ardra (for male natives)
Purva-phalguni
Uttara-phalgunis in Leo (for female natives)
Vishakha (for female natives)
Vishakhas in Scorpio (for male natives)
Mula
Purva-ashadha
Uttara-ashadhas in Sagittarius (for female natives)
Dhanisthas in Aquarius (for female natives)
Shatabisha (for male natives)
Note: Compatibility in relationships is a complex science that looks at many different factors. You should always consult with an experienced astrologer who can carefully analyze the charts of both you and your partner.

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

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

First Quarter (0:00-3:20 degrees Leo): Aries. You have a strong will and like to get your way. You are fiery and intense, and those who antagonize you are likely to get burnt. Whether you are male or female, you possess qualities that would traditionally be referred to as masculine. You are very creative. You can be too hasty, jumping into action without proper planning and overlooking details as you go.

Second Quarter (3:20-6:40 degrees Leo): Taurus. Family means everything to you, and there’s nothing you like better than spending time with them. You are attractive, both externally and internally, and people are drawn to your beauty and charismatic personality. You like the finer things in life and can probably afford them. Once you’ve made a decision, you stand firmly by it and don’t waver in the face of opposition.

Third Quarter (6:40-10:00 degrees Leo): Gemini. The influence of Gemini bestows a cunning and clever mind. You are a gifted communicator in both writing and speech. You enjoy a good battle of wits and can think up a good plan for any situation. You are artistic and enjoy coming up with new ideas and utilizing your artistic talents in a number of ways.

Fourth Quarter (10:00-13:20 degrees Leo): Cancer. The softness of Cancer balances some of Magha’s harsher qualities. You are sensitive — you aren’t as thick-skinned as other Maghas may appear to be and you are very attuned to the thoughts and feelings of others. You have great respect for your elders, knowing that their experience gives them wisdom you can learn from. You are loved by many.

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

The electional nature of Magha is Krura or Ugra, “fierce” and “harsh.” Magha is an excellent nakshatra for:

Giving up bad habits
Cutting off toxic relationships
Quitting a job
Any destructive act, such as weeding or demolition
Performing vows or retreats, such as a day of silence
Doing any kind of detox or cleanse

#Mrigashira #Nakshatra is the fifth of 27 nakshatras. If you were born when the moon was between 23:20 degrees Taurus – 6:40 degrees Gemini

Sanskrit Name: मृगशीर (Mrigashira) comes from the #Sanskrit words मृग (animal) and शिर (head). One meaning of Mrigashira is a “the #head of an #animal,” indicating a sense of adventure, excitement, and a strong intuition.

Planetary Ruler: #Mars. The Romans worshiped Mars as the god of war, a tradition that had its roots in the scriptures of #Vedic India. Mars is associated with masculinity, power, vitality, courage, and conflict.

Nakshatra Group: Godly. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Mrigashira is a godly nakshatra. People in this group are generally good-natured and fortunate in life. However, they may struggle with pride and a sense of entitlement.

Zodiac Sign: Taurus (1st and 2nd quarter) and Gemini (3rd and 4th quarter). Taurus natives are light-hearted, reliable, generous, likeable, obedient, and fond of sensual pleasures. Gemini natives are intelligent, analytical, imaginative, and thoughtful individuals skilled at rhetoric.

Deity: Soma. #Soma is the lord of the mind and is also associated with medicine, nourishment, and fruits and vegetables.

Symbol: #Deer’s head. This represents curiosity, playfulness, movement, wit, and boldness.

Power: To give #fFulfillment. This star bestows a sense of fulfillment and attainment through transformation and maturity.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters ( #padas) of Mrigashira are Ve (वे), Vo (वो), Ka (का), and Key (की). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Mrigashira natives are learned individuals with brilliant minds and excellent research abilities. You think and act quickly. Energetic by nature, you are able to accomplish a great deal by applying that energy with perseverance and industry. You are unlikely to be caught in the middle of a mess — you like your surroundings to be clean and aesthetically pleasing. Good health is usually enjoyed by Mrigashiras.

A loveable and soft-hearted nature ensures that Mrigashiras are well-liked. Your honesty and optimism, combined with your vast knowledge, make you a valuable friend who can give excellent advice.

Mrigashiras whose moon falls in Taurus, in the lunar mansion’s first two quarters, are likely to possess poetic and musical talent. The creative influence of Venus, the ruling planet of Taurus, allows you to bring many ideas into existence. Taurus’s influence will also bring material affluence.

If your moon falls in Gemini, in Mrigashira’s latter two quarters, you will have great linguistic talent. Writing, public speaking, and debating are skills that come naturally to you. You are clever and curious, and your curiosity leads you into extensive research in many fields.

A sense of joy and peace generally follows Mrigashiras, whose sensitive, gentle, and perceptive natures make others feel comfortable in their company.

Mrigashira Careers
Mrigashiras do best in careers where their intelligence is engaged. Work that restricts them too much will make Mrigashiras feel restless and unfulfilled.

Some ideal professions include:

Teacher, professor, or researcher
Member of the clergy or other spiritual vocation
Writer, poet, artist, or musician
Travel agent, travel journalist, or other career that involves travel
Weaknesses
Mrigashira natives are used to being the most intelligent person in the room. This can make it difficult to develop humility. Arrogance, combined with your active nature, can lead you to be hasty — you might overlook important details and make decisions without consulting others. It can also result in aggressive behavior.

The analytical mind of a Mrigashira is never at rest. While it gives you insights and perceptions that make you seem like a genius to others, it also has its downsides. You can be suspicious and doubtful because you are too aware of the many ways a situation could go wrong. If you spend too much time thinking about potential problems, your natural optimism can give way to nervousness and fear.

Because your mind is always searching in a thousand directions at once, you can seem scattered. Although you are energetic, when you try to do too many things you’ll feel like you never accomplish anything. Making decisions can also be hard for you, as you can’t stop weighing the pros and cons of your options. It’s ironic that although you make others feels peaceful and comfortable, you struggle to do the same for yourself. You often feel restless.

Your ability to read other people can be misused. You often know what people want to hear, but this can cause you to fall into the habit of deceiving others. You may misrepresent yourself, your ideas, and your beliefs for the sake of popularity or some other material gain. Remember to have integrity and to practice what you preach, or your deception and hypocrisy will come back to haunt you in the end. This tendency to be fickle is especially prominent in Mrigashiras in Gemini.

Your sensual nature can get the better of you, leading you further and further from your true path in life in an endless quest for sensual satisfaction. It’s important for you to control your desire for comfort and pleasure. Overindulgence is never satisfying, and it can even lead to illness.

Other Personality Traits
You are a quick learner. It doesn’t take you long to get the hang of new concepts or skills. Learning is something you excel at, whether you are learning how to cook or how to do geometry.

You are skilled at debate. You are a persuasive speaker and rarely lose a debate. Arguing like this is fun for you, but be mindful that not everyone likes to debate — you might come across as aggressive.

You are a natural scholar. You will do well in school. You are studious, unlikely to miss a class or forget to turn in an assignment — after all, learning is something you enjoy.

You are sensitive to criticism. You are accustomed to being right and it’s hard for you to handle criticism. Because of your sensitive nature, criticism affects you strongly. Try to look at criticism constructively rather than letting it get you down. When taken in this way, criticism can help you grow.

You may find grief in marriage. The ruling planet of Mrigashira is Mars, a planet whose aggressive influence can cause trouble in marriage. You may find it hard to stop analyzing your relationship, doubting it as you doubt most of your decisions. Multiple relationships and adultery can be avoided if you learn to be satisfied with your relationship and stop searching for something better.

#Punarvasu #Nakshatra, which spans from 20°00' in the sign of Gemini to 3°20' in the Cancer zodiac sign, is the 7th Nakshatra in the zodiac as per Hindu astrology. The symbol for Punarvasu Nakshatra is a quiver of #arrows. The quiver is a container which holds weapons like arrows, spears or darts. The 'quiver of arrows' as the symbol for Punarvasu Nakshatra represents the potential energy and stored resources, like arrows, which are ready for use when needed.

A quiver represents the arrow's home, a place where they rest and are returned after used. This lunar #constellation represents the place of rest and by the extension, it even denotes home. Therefore this nakshatra even rules the event of homecoming. And it represents intimately private places like the company of family and close friends, which are much away from heavy public involvements. The Cycle of an arrow in which, it is taken from a quiver, used to shoot a target and then returns to the quiver, signifies repetition and recycling. And regaining of thing which was lost or used.

The Nakshatra of Punarvasu has ruling planet #Jupiter. And the ruling deity is #Aditi, the mother of heavenly gods like Indra. Aditi is associated with infinity and unboundedness. She represents freedom and plenty, just like the Swarg or Heaven which has plenty and infinite of everything. Hence in the #ancient tradition of Hindus, the Heaven or Swarg is said to be the home of devas who are sons of presiding deity Aditi. Punarvasu nakshatra is also linked with philosophy, religion, yoga and similar means to understand the self and enhance the process of self-understanding. This is due to ruling planet Jupiter and Vedic goddess Aditi. Not to forget that Jupiter rules expansion by the means of self improvisation.

The first three #Padas of Punarvasu are in Gemini sign and the fourth pada is in Zodiac sign of Cancer. The 1st Pada is in Aries navamsa ruled by Mars. The 2nd Pada is in Taurus navamsa ruled by Venus. The 3rd Pada is Gemini navamsa ruled by Mercury. And the last, 4th Pada is in Cancer navamsa ruled by Moon.

No doubt Punarvasu Nakshatra is a very auspicious lunar mansion. Since it contains one Pushkar Bhaga, two Pushkar Navamsa and two Vargottama navamsa in a single Nakshatra.

Moon in Punarvasu Nakshatra: If Punarvasu Nakshatra is the Birth star, the person is of good nature. Punarvasu native is quiet, patient and devout. Such people live in comfort. They might be sickly, thirsty, pleased with trifles, and possessed of contrary views.
