#Mula #Nakshatra is the 19th Nakshatra as per Hindu #astrology in Scorpionis #constellation. The Mula constellation is at the center of the #MilkyWay #Galaxy ( #Galactic #Center). Mula (or Moola) Nakshatra is the #Vedic constellation which translates as “the #root.” It is that this location during winter solstice (Dec 23rd, 24th and 25th), the sun rises to its lowest point for people of northern hemisphere and appears as reborn from the darkness, symbolizing rebirth and the renewal of life. #Ancient Egyptians believed that the Sun God (RA) dies and is reborn during this time of winter solstice.

In Hindu mythology, Mula is ruled by #Nirriti, the #Goddess of #destruction. It has the power to ruin or destroy. Nirriti is the Hindu goddess of deathly hidden realms and sorrows, one of the dikpāla (“guardians of the directions”), representing the southwest. The name Nirriti has the meaning of “absence of ṛta”, meaning ‘disorder’, or ‘lawlessness’, specifically the absence of divine or cosmic order.

Nirṛtī is a #Ketu -ruled nakshatra in the #Vedicastrology, strongly associated with Kali in the form of Dhumavati. Nirṛtī is mentioned in a few hymns of the Rigveda, mostly to seek protection from her or imploring for her during a possible departure. In one hymn (X.59), she is mentioned several times. This hymn, after summing up her nature, also asks for her in departure from the sacrificial site.

In the #Atharvaveda (V.7.9), she is described as having golden locks.

In the Taittiriya Brahmana (I.6.1.4), Nirṛtī is described as dark, dressed in dark clothes and her sacrificial shares are dark husks.

In the sacred Shatapatha Brahmana (X.1.2.9), she is associated with the southwest quarter as her region. In the Vedas, Nirṛti represented the lightless realm of disorder that was held at bay by ṛta and the Vedic rituals. In later Hindu thought, this realm of non-existence was replaced with various hell realms, and Nirṛti was re-conceptualized as a deity- the daughter of Adharma (the embodiment of non-dharmic behavior) and mother of Naraka, a personification of the hell realms.

In Puranic story, Nirṛtī is known as Alakshmi and below is Srisukta mantra.

kṣhutpipāsāmalāṁ jyeṣṭhām alakṣmīṁ nāśayāmyaham,
abhūtimasamṛddhiṁ cha sarvāṁ nirṇuda me gṛihāt.

I shall venerate the elder sister of #Lakshmi, #Alakshmi, the embodiment of inauspiciousness and such evil as hunger, thirst, and the like for extinguishing such qualities from me. O Lakshmi! Drive out from my abode all misfortune and poverty.

#Purvaphalguni #nakshatra is the 11th nakshatra out of the total 27 #nakshatras. In Leo sun sign this nakshatra extends from 13-degree 20 minute to 26-degree 40 minute. The deity God of this nakshatra is ‘ #Aryaman’, who is one of the 12 sons of Sun’s mother Aditi.

Aryaman is one of the early #Vedic Hindu deities. His name signifies “Life-Partner”, “close friend”, “Partner”, “play-fellow” or “companion”. He is the third son of Aditi, the mother of the Adityas and is depicted as the mid-morning sun disk.

Aryaman is commonly invoked together with #Varuna- #Mitra, #Bhaga, #Bṛhaspati, and other Adityas and Asuras. According to Griffith, the #Rigveda also suggests that Aryaman is a supreme deity alongside Mitra and Varuna. According to the Rig Veda, Indra who is traditionally considered the most important deity in the Rig Veda is asked to obtain boons and gifts from Aryaman. Hindu marriage oaths are administered with an invocation to Aryaman being the witness to the event.

Purva Phalguni in the Vedic order is ruled by Aryaman, the God of contracts and unions. It gives the power of procreation (prajanana shakti). Its basis above is the wife or the female partner. Its basis below is the male or masculine partner. These together bring about the creation of the fetus

As per ancient reference in Hindu scriptures, the deities of Purva Phalguni (Aryaman) and #UttaraPhalguni (Bhaga) and both are closely linked. Both are intimately connected with marriage and its associated rewards and responsibilities. Aryaman upholds societal traditions and contracts made between two people, such as the wedding ceremony.

In the Avesta, Airyaman (or airiiaman) is both an Avestan language common noun as well as the proper name of a Zoroastrian divinity. Divinity Airyaman, who is the yazata of health and healing. The third Yasht, which is nominally a hymn to Asha Vahishta is for the greater part a praise of the airyaman ishyo, which in Zoroastrian tradition is an invocation of the divinity Airyaman.

The common meaning of airyaman/aryaman as “member of community” is preserved in both Avestan and Vedic sources.

In Indian Hindu wedding rituals, the wedding fire is referred to as the Aryaman fire. In any Hindu marriage rituals, you can find that newly wedded couples hold hands by circumambulating the Aryaman fire with seven steps and together they pledge each other “With these seven steps you have become my life partner. May I deserve your love and support and make you one with me.”

Sanskrit #mṛgaśiraṣa (popularly spelled Mārgaśīrṣa/ #Mṛgaśira) (Devanagari: मृगशीर्ष) (Tamil: மிருகசீரிடம்) (Sinhalese: Muwasirasa) (Kannada: ಮೃಗಶಿರ) the 5th #nakshatra or lunar mansion as used in Hindu astronomy and astrology is the constellation Orion. The term Mṛgaśira (मृगशिर) a composite of two Sanskrit words, mṛga (मृग) meaning animal/beast and śira (शिर) meaning head or precisely, the top of the head. Thus Mṛgaśira (मृगशिर) is the correct name of the star, while Mārgaśīrṣa (मार्गशीर्ष) is the name of the month related to Mṛgaśira, i.e., the month in which moon will be in conjuncture with the Mṛgaśira nakshatra. In Malayalam it is called Makayeeram.

Mahabharata (Vana.221.15) tells us that #Soma’s brother is #Agni, and his sister is #Rohini. The two brothers, Soma and Agni stand on both sides of their sister. To one side of Rohini is Soma’s star, Mṛgaśīrṣā. To the other side is Agni’s star, #Krittika.

B G Tilak in his ‘Orion and antiquity of Vedas’ mentions on Bhagvad Gita with Lord Krishna saying: ‘Among Nakshatras I am Mrigashirsha’ (Among the asterisms on ecliptic, I am the #Orion). In Vedic thought the two stars Rohini and Mrigashirsha are thought to be the most sacred region in space and are described as the head of Prajapati.

In Vedic tradition, soma (Sanskrit: सोम) is a ritual drink] of importance among the early #Vedic Indians. In both the #ancient religions of Historical Vedic religion and Zoroastrianism, the name of the drink and the plant are the same. The Rigveda mentions it particularly in the Soma Mandala. Several section of Ṛig Veda (9) is dedicated to Soma as giver of immortality (Amrita). Rig Veda 9.42 goes refers Soma the “immortality of the immortals” and the “godhood within the gods.” Elixir made from the Soma plant is known for giving legendary power for several Rig Vedic Gods to fight against evils.

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

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

#Anuradha #Nakshatra governs the cosmic sky above with a sense of balance, harmony, and reverence. ” It stretches into Scorpio territory.

Anuradha Nakshatra, regardless of age, gender, social rank or IQ, has the ability to set the framework for peaceful encounters.

Anuradha Nakshatra has three stars: Beta, Delta, and Pi Scorpion. These three stars are seen in the night sky in a straight line directly above Antares, a bright red star. One of the most powerful stars for bringing prosperity and recognition to those who work together is this nakshatra. Developing a deep understanding of numbers necessitates a combination of logic and intuition, both of which this star provides. People born under the Anuradha #constellation are capable of leading and organising huge groups of people. Keeping an eye on one’s anger and depression, on the other hand, is critical. Anuradha Nakshatra, like the lotus flower, has the persistence and ability to flourish in the dirt.
