#Sanskrit Name: उत्तरभाद्रपदा (Uttara-bhadrapada) comes from the Sanskrit words उत्तर (latter) and भद्र (blessed). One meaning of Uttara-bhadrapada is “the latter blessed one,” indicating wisdom, good fortune, and happiness.

Planetary Ruler: #Saturn. Saturn is the bestower of karmic reaction, the good or bad results of one’s past activities. It is associated with discipline, obstacles, hard work, and philosophy and law.

Nakshatra Group: Humanlike. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Uttara-bhadrapada 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: Pisces. Pisces is known as the sign of the fishes. Uttara-bhadra natives are intuitive, empathic, creative, and sociable.

Deity: #Ananta. In Vedic theology, Ananta is an expansion of God in the form of a great serpent who holds the unlimited universes upon his hoods.

Symbol: A #snake. This represents agility, knowledge, mysticism, and great energy.

Power: To bring rain. Persons born under the star of Uttara-bhadrapada have a refreshing and calming quality about them.

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 Uttara-bhadrapada are Do (दू), Tha (थ), Jha (झ), and Na (ञ). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Those born under the star of Uttara-bhadra are thoughtful and far-sighted souls. They understand that all actions have consequences, and they think their plans through carefully. This characteristic makes them much more self-controlled than other Pisceans.

Uttara-bhadra natives are capable speakers. Their contemplative nature gives their words weight and power. They are often progressive individuals who can convince others to come around to their own ideals, values, and beliefs. In addition, they are spiritually-inclined and have a natural connection to the metaphysical realm.

You are liberal and broad-minded. You stand up for the underdogs. At the same time, you also know when to remove yourself from a complicated situation. This strength protects you from getting caught up in useless arguments that can strain and even break friendships and relationships. However, to others, this quality may cause you to appear dispassionate or cold at times.

Uttara-bhadrapada Careers
Persons born in Uttara-bhadrapada can do well in careers that are stable and service-oriented. They have a need for a certain degree of autonomy in their career.

Some ideal professions include:

Professor, psychologist, or philosopher
Non-profit worker or humanitarian
Healer, counselor, yoga teacher, monk, or mystic
Librarian
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.

You are patient. You understand the value of taking your time with your work, and you don’t like to rush things. This quality also helps you to remain peaceful even in disturbing or difficult situations.

You like to be of service to others. You are by nature a charitable person and you like to help others in need.

You are drawn to the unknown. Your strong intellect combined with your natural inclination toward spirituality leads you to take an active interest in the mysteries of human life.

Uttara-bhadrapada Compatibility
Uttara-bhadras’ sexuality is symbolized by a female cow. In terms of physical compatibility, this makes them an ideal match for persons born under Uttara Phalguni nakshatra.

Punarvasu in Cancer
Ashlesha
Uttara-phalguni
Vishakha in Scorpio (for male natives)
Jyeshta
Purva-ashadha (for female natives)
Uttara-ashadha
Shravana (for female natives)
Purva-bhadra in Pisces
Revati
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.

#Uttarabhadra’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 (3:20-6:40 degrees Pisces): Leo. You have a royal air about you. You are ambitious and self-confident. However, you may find yourself frequently butting heads with those who see things differently than you do.

Second Quarter (6:40-10:00 degrees Pisces): Virgo. You are a knowledgeable person and an eager learner. You are highly curious and you enjoy exploring a wide variety of subjects.

Third Quarter (10:00-13:20 degrees Pisces): Libra. You are happy, open-minded, and warm-hearted. However you can be somewhat calculating in your interpersonal dealings. You choose your words carefully.

Fourth Quarter (13:20-16:40 degrees Pisces): Scorpio. You have a sharp mind and you may keep to yourself more than others. You can be irritable at times and you may prefer to take the easy road rather than working hard to reach your goals.

Uttara-bhadrapada in Electional Astrology

realized it was an eel coming through his neck.” Mr Davis stated, “I could see his eyes and he was still alive.”

“The wildlife refuge stated they’d never seen anything like that.” It’s a morbid photograph.”

According to Martin Fowlie, an RSPB expert, snake eels have been observed trying to burrow out of fish in the past “in order to avoid being eaten.”

“But I’ve never seen visuals like this involving a bird before,” he said.

‘I’m shocked the heron is still flying with such a large hole in it. However, I believe the bird will not survive such an injury.” '

Characteristics of Rohini Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology
The animal symbol of Rohini Nakshatra is the #male #snake. If you learn about the behavior of a male snake, you will learn deep insights of this Nakshatra.
The most dominating feature of a snake is its ability to get the attention of anyone and everyone, from a monkey on trees to bystanders in the park.
There is fear, anxiety and fascination associated with the serpent. If a monkey was seen in a park, it would get some attention, and people would think it is cute, but a snake just gets the attention of everyone.
Rohini natives know how to draw attention and have a natural instinct to attract people.
These natives fascinate people by their ability and attract attention with their eyes.
A snake has the most intense eyes, especially when they shed their skin. Snake has the most intense and unusual eyes.
Rohini natives usually have beautiful eyes, they may not be stunning to look, but somehow you will fall for their eyes once gazed upon.
The other distinct feature of a snake is its venom and ability to inflict poison.
It is incorrect to think snakes are always there just to inflict poison no matter what.
Snakes generally ignore and are scared of people and only inflict poison when threatened or hungry, but the snake will not consume humans for a meal unless forced upon them.
Rohini native will be extremely friendly, fun and have a unique sexual attraction but do not mistake that for being weak and if pushed upon or challenged, they will inflict poison and seek revenge.
Snakes are also known to be aggressive mates. There are snake orgies, snake killing and fight over other snakes for mating.
When a snake is seeking a mate during the dry season, it’s like a hungry serpent they must mate. Rohini natives. when in a sexual mood, will easily attract a mate and, if afflicted by malefics, can even lead to too many affairs.
They will also always have to fight with another person to get the attention of the person they are trying to go after.
One time in their life, they will have to deal with some love triangle.
Rohini natives are to be the most sensual during love making because a snake can mate for up to 3 hours at a time; such people are able to completely enjoy sex and give sexual pleasure to their partner to a point, where their poison of intense love can ruin a person for life.
Any person with whom they have a one-night stand or even a short relationship will always have the most intense sexual memory of the Rohini native.
Just like a snakebite, which a survivor can never forget, a Rohini’s bite will also not be forgotten, whether it was a one-night stand or a few weeks of dating and will be something unforgettable with a lifelong impression.
Snakes are gifted swimmers. Rohini natives can naturally learn to swim even without coaching.
They just have this natural ability to move the body in water. This also leads to one becoming a great dancer.
A male snake will always have to shed his skin 4-5 times a year, and if we relate this attribute to a Rohini person, they will have dry skin, which always comes off, but the shedding of the skin also has another meaning.
These people can change their personality, behavior and attitude at a given moment and become whatever they want when they desire something.
The element of Rohini is to grow crops on the Earth. Our planet was a barren land a few billion years ago, but now there are high risers, fast cars, clothes, delicious food, entertainment and wealth.
Rohini is all about growth in the material world. They always try to attain the best and most original resource of this planet.
They will never wear cheap or fake jewellry. They want real diamonds, gems, gold, and all resources of this Earth. Anything Rohini touches starts growing.
Rohini is one of the best Nakshtra to launch business alongside Pushya and Swati.
These natives are pleasure seekers. They know how to extract and nourish themselves with the best-hidden resources.
They love fine wine, Michelin star restaurants and best quality cigars.
Rahu in Rohini can go to the extreme of finding pleasure in the world and actually attain it.
The element of Rohini is Earth. It is in the middle of the Earth sign in astrology, Taurus.
Earthly things are everything you and I experience, whether it is sadness, happiness, obsession, fame, money, spouse, sex, children, security or learning.
The Nakshatra devata is Brahma, the supreme creator aka Prajapati.
He is the God who created man, space, planets, and everything we know.
In creating this beautiful world, he not only had to create other souls but needed to mate to procreate.
When he created so-called daughter Dawa, a beautiful woman, he approached her to mate, which was simply a part of the divine plan.
He ran after and chased her as she refused to do such an act with a father like man.
The other Gods that had been created by him were angry at this act of incest.
The problem is we need to understand this concept in a deeper form. The only reason Brahma chased his daughter is due to him looking and protecting her, which is why the 5th head of Brahma appeared; hence, the 5th head represents illusion.
The Rohini native always tends to get chased by other lustful men or women.
They always attract the opposite wherever they go. This doesn’t mean that Rohini natives will have incest with their father.
As a child, Rohini natives will be chased by their parents in a fun game, but on the other hand, Rohini natives themselves can chase and stalk their prey.
When afflicted by malefics, beauty, resources, and attention can fuel Rohini’s ego, jealousy and possessiveness.
Rohini native can attract and kill the prey.
This theme plays out due to the fact that Rohini was the favorite wife of Moon out of all the 27 wives.
As a result, Jyeshtha, her eldest sister, got jealous and complained about this fact to their father, Daksha, who cursed Moon to wax and wane, causing to gain and lose his brightness over a month period.
There is a saying, “Rohini is the queen, Purva Phalguni is the courtesan”.
Moon is known as the queen in the planetary kingdom.
A queen has no love of life for the king; she was simply someone who bought two kingdoms together and had a huge political influence.
On the other hand, it was the courtesan who gave true love to the king, taught his children, showed him romance and showered the sensual love.
She wasn’t a prostitute as we think today, and infact, they were highly qualified, educated and spiritual.
A Rohini native seduces you, but after their seduction, they want to leave as they have conquered you. Phalguni, on the other hand, wants to truly please you and show you what is love.
Both are sexual and romantic, but one has the element of seducing like a prey, and other, seducing like a lover.
If you saw someone with a Rohini Lagna or Moon and said, they have these qualities, you can be flat wrong. However, if the Moon or Lagna is getting impacted by other planets with Venus and Mars posited in position of seduction, then it will be working out like a Picasso painting.
Rohini is Yakshini, Phalguni is Romance. A Yakshini, other dimensional being, who is set to be one of the workers of Kubera, can be invoked by certain tantric practices and will show themselves to you on the 8th day, etc., at a certain place.
They tend to seduce the natives and fulfil their wishes. Their whole agenda is for seduction and giving wealth by making some kind of trade.
Rohini natives are excellent lovers in bed. They can go longer than anyone, just like Magha or Purva Phalguni.
They also love the color red and pink as these colors symbolize romance.
Their power of seduction makes them very elegant and sophisticated when it comes to public life.
But there is a Nadi technique that says when two planets are hemming a Nakshatra between them, that Nakshatra is most prominent for the person.
If Saturn is in Ashwini and Jupiter is in Krittika, that means the person will behave like Bharani in their life, especially during Saturn-Jupiter or Jupiter-Saturn dasha, but the person will always experience the traits of Bharani.
The symbol of this Nakshatra is the chariot. This clearly shows that Rohini natives will always be into cars, working on cars, traveling and wanting to move in luxury.
Rohini native attains a luxury car, and their growth in life starts.
This also shows their ability to steer through difficult situations. They are quick thinkers when it comes to solutions.
Due to quick-wit and thinking, Rohini natives are excellent writers and speakers because Moon rules this Nakshatra.
Moon is a very addictive planet and desires to get what he seex, which is why it got him in trouble in first place.
They develop an addictive personality towards gambling, sports betting, and the probability of winning in an auction is high for them.
They beat everyone to get something that no one else could have. Moon wants to be with anyone in the sky at his will, give him a reputation of a cheater and this cheating can turn towards plagiarism.
Rohini individuals may take someone else’s idea, make it their own, and find success from it or can innocently hear some idea from others and quickly react to it.
One important observation is Rohini native’s children may be unmarried for a long time, perhaps till their late 30’s.
This is because Moon never produced offspring except by cheating on Tara, wife of Jupiter. Some scholars say it is this curse that leads to such a situation.
Attributes of Rohini Nakshatra in Astrology
The word ‘Rohini’ is derived from ‘Rohan’, which means to rise or to bring into existence. It extends in the Taurus sign from 10’00” degrees to 23’20”. Rohini group, therefore, encompasses everything that comes within the range of creation – beasts, birds, animals, etc.
It would also connote the process of growing, begetting, birth, production, etc., in brief, production, birth, and creation. Rising means the process of ascending, that is, the creative evolution, the cultivation, and the improvement.
Mythology describes Rohini, the wife of Chandra. Of all the 27 stars, all wives of Chandra, Rohini is said to have been fond of fine dress, cosmetics, and decor and was the most beloved of Chandra.
The Rohini (group), in the line with this, is considered to be the cause of a taste for fine dress, perfume, and other articles of toilet.

#Ashlesha #Nakshatra, which is from 16°40’ to 30°00’ degrees in Cancer, is the 9th Nakshatra in the zodiac as per Indian #Vedic Astrology. The symbol for Ashlesha Nakshatra is a coiled #serpent. This lunar mansion is the deceptive divine serpent who resides in the zodiac sign of Cancer. The presiding deity for Ashlesha is the Sarpas, the snakes or a group of snake. They are often referred in Hindu Vedic lores as one lives beneath the earth in the realm known as Pataala. This type of association for this Naga nakshatra and such snake related symbolisms makes Ashlesha denote everything associated with the snake. There is an Indian perspective of snakes as wily, creepy creatures often said to hypnotise their prey and then entwining or coiling themselves around their victims before they get any sort of consciousness.

An Ashlesha native or people with Ashlesha Nakshatra are also credited with great wisdom, cunning, insight, powers of concentration, and primordial energy and power or vigour. This primordial vigour is particularly sexual power. So people even relate this nakshatra to Ketu in astrology for the traits of serpent deity. But not to forget that Ashlesha is the Nakshatra which is ruled by planet Mercury and is signified by a serpent deity. Hence it depicts the very unusual side of #Mercury. As the symbol represents a coiled snake, many also say Ashlesha even possess the quality of #snake which is coiled and ready to act. Though the action depends on the type of planet associated with this lunar mansion.

Many astrologers quote that, Ashlesha Nakshatra rules qualities like deception, insincerity, secrecy, greed, actions like attacking at the hind side, cold-bloodedness and poisonous or painful things. While the positive side of Ashlesha Nakshatra gives insight, wisdom and holistic understanding into any subject. When this lunar mansion has a good influence of strong Jupiter it can also enable divine wisdom.

Moon in Ashlesha Nakshatra: The people whose Birth star is Ashlesha Nakshatra are ones who are inattentive to the work of other people. Ashlesha native is sinful and ungrateful. They can be promiscuous eaters and they are skilled in deceiving others.

#UTTRA_BHADRAPADA #NAKSHATRA
#WATER #SNAKE #AHIRBUDHNYA

The Water snake is known as Ahirbudhnya. His name can be broken in two Ahir means the upper celestial realm and Budhnya means the deep foundation.

The roots come from below but to rise they must have a foundation. The secret of polarities and exchange is implicit in his name.

The lunarly watery snake Ahirbudhnya relates to the downward circuitry and foundation of Kundakini Shakti.

This snake teaches us the way of sinking to the depths, going way down into the deep receptive waters of the soul.

The Moon serpent Ahirbudhnya is another form of the storm god Rudra, this time in his raining raging downpour.

This Moon serpent is full of the secrets of the ocean depths. To voyage with him is to go into places where one unknown, unseen and forgotten. The power is deep in the depths.

In this ritual of #UttaraBhadrapada we take a beautifully terrifying step into lunarly watery depth.

One attempts such a step by summoning the watery forces of emotion by accessing deeply underground currents of feeling.

To centralise the watery forces of emotion and feed them to the Kundalini Moon channel of the spinal serpent of water is the awakening g of the lunar channel.

The Water Door

When watery emotion and power is expressed haphazardly without foundation, then it floods and drowns out the potential that is inherent in the forces of feeling.

But when watery emotion is focussed and strategically applied to the centralised position of the Kundalini Moon serpent in the inner secret spinal channel, then it is nourished unto Kundalini Shakti Jagra. This translates as the awakening of the primal psycho/physical serpent power of the human energy system that the Tantrics refer to as Kundalini Shakti.

By working with the Moon serpent ritualistically, we awaken to the buried treasure of watery emotion.

enter image description here
Feeling

What is watery emotion?

It is emotion that is moist, emotion with juice and tears, potentially nourishing if brought to vision, or potentially drowning and smothering if in slumber.

In the ritual work of Uttara Bhadrapada, one work with the Tantric invocation of the star forces of lunarly watery power.

Uttara Bhadrapada translates as the mature beautifully terrifying steps.

Each heartbeat is such a step.

The Yogins listen to the heart on each step of this journey between life and death. This journey between death and life.

The Bhadrapada Nakshatra’s are bridges between the steps that join life and death and death and life.

We will indeed attempt to take a mature beautifully terrifying step.

The heart will not retreat.

#PURVA_BHADRAPADA #NAKSHATRA
#Fire #Snake #Ajaikapad

Let us firstly consider the lunar house, known as #PurvaBhadrapada. This is the home of the fire Snake who goes by the name of Ajaikapad.

The fire snake Ajaikapad, translates as the one footed power beast of fire, this snake is a form of the Storm god #Rudra, full of fiery rage and creative destruction.

When we attune to his lunar house of Purva Bhadrapada, we pass through the door of fire.

The word Aja in his name refers to that which is mystical and mysterious. Working with this star energy is really an investigation into the secrets of the heat of #Kundalini #Shakti.

One summons the fiery Kundalini Shakti of Ajaikapad by working with fire within and without. A candle flame upon the altar is a ritual gesture of summoning Ajaikapad.

Fire is the form that this serpentine energy of Ajaikapad takes. He is the fire behind the storm… just as lightning in a storm can result in fire.

A Flash in the Dark

Purva Bhadrapada translates as the origins of a beautifully terrifying step. The lesson of this lunar house is all about learning to see what the effects of our fiery emotions are, upon ourselves, upon others, and upon the whole spiritual energetic field of our existence.

What is fiery emotion?

It is emotion that either warms or burns. Fire can bring light and warmth, which can turn into clarity and nourishment. But on the other hand, Fire can consume, burn and destroy.

When we get an insight into the origin behind our fiery actions, we take a magical step into the uses of fire.

When we get an insight into the origins of our fire, the nature of our expression of fire is transformed to one of spiritual efficiency.

The Fire Door

To take a metaphor: we learn about the dial on the stove and the right amount of heat required for the cooking at hand.

Each act of cooking requires a specific use of flame.

Our handling of the inner flame can either nourish or burn, a chronically hot flame can consume everything including ourselves. But when we start to see the origins of our relationship to fiery force, then we start to take back our power over the dial on the stove of feeling.

This is the wisdom that this lunar house transports to us.

This nights ritual will be an investigation into the origins of the beautifully terrifying steps of our existence.

Taking Back Power

The fiery formulas of working with the lunar constellation of Purva Bhadrapada is a magical ritual work of inner and outer Mudra and Mantra in alignment with this constellation of the fire serpent.

One summons the fiery forces of emotion by accessing deeply underground volcanic latent energies. Things like, frustration, anger, tension are brought to the sacrificial altar of Yog for this ritual.

We will centralise fiery emotion with concentration and vision, and then feed the force into the Kundalini channel of the spinal serpent of fire.

When fire of emotion is expressed willy-nilly it disperses force, but when it is focussed and strategically applied to the centralised position of the fire serpent in the inner spinal channel, then it is nourished unto Kundalini Shakti Jagra.

This translates as the awakening of the primal psycho/physical serpent power of the human energy system. This the Tantrics refer to as Kundalini Shakti.
