The native with Anuradha Nakshatra in astrology is liable to face several obstacles in his life. Even then, he has a particular aptitude to handle the most challenging situation systematically. However, if we look at his face, a peculiar frustrated face can be noticed. The main reason for such a gloomy appearance is the problems he has to confront on several occasions. To be more specific, there may not be the peace of mind in his life.
Anuradha is one of the Tiryaka Mukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras which have their mouths curved). In these Nakshatras, things related to roads, dams, the expansion of metals, etc., chariots, boats, etc. can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Characteristics of Anuradha Nakshatra in Astrology
The yoni animal of Anuradha Nakshatra is a #female #deer. A deer is found in a quiet place in the forest and shows youthfulness, and the elegance of life.
When you see a deer, whether male or female, you feel a sense of calmness, beauty and serenity.
The fusion fire inside Anuradha native is the need to reproduce like the rats of Magha Nakshatra.
Deer reproduces at an extremely fast pace.
They reproduce once every year.
They are not as fast as a rat, but they too reproduce quickly.
The deer is also one of the most killed animals by a car accident.
This can also show an Anuradha native usually always gets into car accidents or some kind of fender benders; it cannot be life-threatening unless other yogas are present and the native has completed their counted breaths.
Anuradha natives, as much as they are quiet, elegant and peaceful, they are hungry for sexual experience.
However, their sexual experience is not just about lust and having sexual parties like Phalgunis; they are about reproduction.
A female Anuradha native is ready to find and mate, and internally it is about producing a child.
The deer is also an excellent swimmer and runs around 35 miles an hour.
Anuradha females are excellent swimmers and runners.
The symbolism of Anuradha is the lotus, archway and a staff stick.
The first thing we understand about a lotus is that it grows in the dirtiest places yet, and is one of the most beautiful flowers.
Anuradha natives rise up from the struggles of life to ultimately be admired by people and shine like a lotus.
The stem of the lotus reaches down to the ground in the mud water, where it gets all its nutrients from; this translates into the nature’s plumbing system working at its best.
The Anuradha natives either have a great interest in plumbing or always have to deal with plumbing issues in life, especially when the Anuradha dasha (Tribhagi system) or sub dasha is operating.
The other symbolism of this Nakshatra is the staff, a mystical weapon that wields magic powers to destroy the obstacle in front of it.
The deity of Anuradha Nakshatra is Mithra, one of the Adityas.
Mitra is the God of friendship and is frequently invoked with Varuna, the God of cosmic laws and cosmic ocean.
Mithra promotes good faith, cordiality, and cooperation.
There is the story of Varuna and Mithra having fallen in love with the celestial damsel Urvashi.
In this love triangle, Urvashi liked Mitra more.
Mitra’s semen is supposed to have fallen into a pot, and eventually, the sage Vashishtha was born out of it.
Varuna’s semen is supposed to have fallen into another pot from which sage Agastya was born.
Both Agastya & Vashishtha were also called Mitra-Varuna. Mitra is also the divine friend.
Radha was the childhood friend of Lord Krishna, who was his greatest devotee.
Radha was so deeply in love with Krishna that, in spite of Krishna having left Radha to fulfill his duties as an avatar, her love took on to great mystical proportions, and she became enlightened.
Radha then acted out crazy as she lost her mind for losing Krishna.
The mythology of Anuradha emphasizes friendship and karma with friends.
In the life of an Anuradha native, either they will consider their friends much closer than their family, or they keep getting betrayed by friends.
However, regardless of the extreme, the theme of friendship plays out big in their life.
They may have friendships or have relationships with Persians.
Anuradha natives settle in foreign lands, meet new people and make new relationships like Mithra did.
Anuradha native gains through friendship, whether it is sitting around a table, smoking cigars with an idea bursting, or through some suggestion by a friend.
It has been mentioned that thousands of Laxmi manifested from the left side of Radha, who is the embodiment of all the Goddesses that we worship.
Anuradha natives are fortunate but acquire all the comfort and wealth in their late life. Why late? Radha realized later who she really was and manifested into, so Anuradha native received their transformation later in life.
It’s said in Srimad Bhagavatam that one should pray to Radha first, then Krishna.
Radha was the greatest devotee of Krishna, the true love of Krishna but never got Krishna in the physical world.
The Anuradha natives will run into someone special, who they are deeply in love with, deeply devoted to, but they never get to spend their whole life with them.
An Anuradha native will always have a bleeding pain in their heart for not attaining that person.
They can have the most good looking, rich and perfect spouse in their life, but they will always have a tiny space in their heart for that Radha they never received, and this plays out strongly in a male’s chart.
Radha also went crazy. She became a maniac and mad after losing Krishna.
Anuradha natives will always run into women and will go crazy or obsessed with them, and in marriage, they sometimes end up with a spouse who is crazy and protective.
Anuradha natives will also have people or someone to covert operations against them due to jealousy, possessiveness and obsessiveness.
They will also be very good with financial negotiations, especially in taxes and law.
Anuradha natives always get a chance to listen to people’s secrets and keep it a secret like a psychologist, lawyer or an astrologer would do.
Anuradha natives feel it is important to keep the secrets of other people because they want to know the truth.
An accountant is someone who knows exactly how much you make, but they are bound by keeping it a secret.
Hostage negotiators can also be seen with this Nakshatra because they not only do last minute negotiations, but also become the friend of the hostage taker.
Anuradha Nakshatra natives love playing golf, hockey, cricket or baseball.
These sports all involve the use of a stick.
Anuradha is represented by the staff of a rishi, which can even be known as the staff of a wizard.
Attributes of Anuradha Nakshatra in Astrology
Anuradha Nakshatra is spread from 3’20” to 16’40” in Scorpio (Vrischika) Rashi.
Scorpio (Vishakha) and Anuradha are complementary to each other.
From Anuradha is derived friendship, love, affection, and other tender features of a native’s character. Scorpio (Vrischika) is considered the ultimate objective, while Anuradha indicates the ‘action’.
The difference between Scorpio and Anuradha is that while the Scorpio native forgets the benefits derived and also the persons who helped attain success, the Anuradha native retains a soft feeling about them, and he keeps his friendship intact and does not forget the benefits.
The Anuradha native’s mind is always alive and receptive to all feelings and gestures of friendship and love. He is like the sentinel, always mounting guard over emotions, but lacking the hardness or toughness of the official sentinel.
Anuradha is one of the Mridu (delicate) and Maitra (friendly) Nakshatras. In these Nakshatras, things like learning and singing songs, getting clothes prepared and wearing them, playing games, things relating to friends, getting jewels made, and wearing them may be auspiciously done.

Made some rice the old Iranian style!
The crunchy rice as my younger one used to call it is called Tah-dig which means "bottom of the pot", and is a special delicacy when cooking in Iran.
Getting the rice out of the pot in perfect form is another art that takes time and patience plus a lot of learning from mistakes (mine is not perfect, since it broke in the middle).
Made it for my daughter before she went to see her old middle school friend on the beach. I'm sure she will be back very late tonight.

But #Cheney and #Rice neglected to disclose that there was a heated dispute within the #intelligence community about this supposed evidence. The top scientific experts in the US government had concluded these tubes were unsuitable for a #nuclear weapons program. Only one #CIA analyst—who was not a scientific expert—contended the tubes were smoking-gun proof that #Saddam was working to develop nuclear weapons. That was all the Bush-Cheney White House needed.

This is a sourdough rice bread. (That's probably the most suitable name.) But it didn't quite work out the way I thought.
I had spotted a recipe for a "rice bread" on Youtube, but I found parts of the process the young lady explained rather strange, so my process was very different.
She had soaked rice over night, then put that rice with its water, some salt, some sugar and yeast into a blender to create a kind of "rice mud". She had to be careful not to blend for too long so the temperature wouldn't kill the yeast. (Why not add the yeast after the blender?) She got a kind of very fluffy white bread out of it, but I think the crust (her bread had one) was slightly brownish.
Since the amounts she used looked very similar to my standard 1-2-3 bread, I ground 300g rice to flour/powder (more or less, my mill is rather small and not exactly powerful), added 200g water, then 100 g sourdough starter. The result is mud, I had to pour this into a form.
I used the same time and temperature for baking as usual, after letting it rest for about six hours, which resulted in a bread with very high hydration. The taste is...interesting. Unfortunately the bread didn't really rise, before baking I could have sworn it had at least a little. When I bake with oatmeal flour, the bread also doesn't want to rise, so this may be the same situation.
What makes me hesitate to try this again however is the fact that just like rice, this bread dries up quicker than regular sourdough bread. Maybe at a later time, with more thoroughly ground rice flour. Anyway, has anyone else tried making bread out of rice flour? I'm curious what the result was.
