RAHU KAALAM & THE METHOD TO CALCULATE EL RAHU KULAM

Rahu Kaal & Method to Calculate Rahu Kalam (Rahu Kaal)

In Indian Astrology, each day of the week has been assigned its respective ruling planet viz. Monday is ruled by Moon, Tuesday by Mars etc. However, Rahu and Ketu have not been given any specific day as they are treated as nodes. However, Rahu and Ketu are given one and half hours time in a day resulting three hours for Rahu and Ketu in which they can cast their malefic influence since Rahu is a natural malefic.

Rahu Kalam (Rahu Kaal) is an inauspicious period of time for a particular day. In other words, Rahu Kalam is the time during which Rahu seizes the opportunity for influence. During this time one should avoid any auspicious work like starting new business or project, buying expensive items, investments, business transactions, journeys, meetings, interviews etc. It is believed that any thing lost during Rahu Kalam is never found.
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth part of the difference between the Sunset and Sunrise time of a particular place for a specific day of the week. The reason for its 8th part is that in some Indian astrology systems, Rahu is considered to be the 8th planet.

To calculate Rahu kalam or Rahu kaal, first find the local Sun-rise time and sun-set time of the place. This can be found from a local panchang or your local newspaper. Next divide the difference between the two time periods into 8 equal parts. There is no Rahu Kalam during the first period of any weekday. In other words, it is never just after sunrise. From Monday to Sunday the period of Rahu Kaal or Rahu kalam for each week day is then calculated as described below:

On Monday Rahukalam falls on the 2nd period
Saturday 3rd period
Friday 4th period
Wednesday 5th period
Thursday 6th period
Tuesday 7th period
Sunday 8th period

Study the examples in the Table given below

ENERGIA DE LA CONSTELACION DE CANCER

Energía de la Constelación de Cáncer
"La energía que fluye desde la Constelación de Cáncer hacia nuestro sistema solar, a nuestro planeta y a la conciencia humana, estimula la conciencia grupal, la percepción de la humanidad como un reino. Esta influencia tiende a despertar la autoconciencia individual como un primer paso necesario hacia la conciencia grupal. En el reino humano existe una secuencia natural de crecimiento de la conciencia que puede definirse, sencillamente, mediante las palabras: dependencia - independencia - interdependencia. La enorme mayoría de la humanidad tiende a ser dependiente de numerosas formas. Con el desarrollo de la independencia se alcanza la etapa de autoconciencia y autoafirmación individual. El siguiente paso, la interdependencia, comporta una percepción de la humanidad como un centro unificado e interactivo de vida y conciencia, dentro de una vida mayor." (De Buena Voluntad Mundial).

Para cualquier cosa que queramos hacer en la vida, necesitamos de los demás. También si queremos compartir buenos sentimientos, como una alegría. ¿De qué sirve tener una satisfacción si no hay con quién compartirla? Es bueno tener amigos, en una relación interdependiente. Cada uno respetándose, con sus virtudes y sus defectos; con sus gustos y sus caminos en la vida.

SATURNO---SEÑOR DEL KARMA

EL PERFIL KARMICO ABARCA VARIOS PUNTOS DE LECTURA: LOS NODUS LUNARES (KETU Y RAHU), SUS ASPECTOS CON LOS PLANETAS. SU POSICION POR SIGNO Y CASAS, LOS PLANETAS EN RETOGRADACION Y SUS CAMBIOS DE MOCION Y LA LECTURA A PARTIR DE LA CASA QUINTA SEGUN CASAS DERIVADAS, SIENDO LA QUINTA CASA, EL ASCENDENTE DE VIDAS PASADAS, COMO REPRESENTACION DE LAS VIDAS QUE TIENE CONEXION DIRECTA CON EL PAGO KARMICO EN LA PRESENTE ENCARNACION. SABEMOS QUE SATURNO NO ABRE SUS PUERTAS CON FACILIDAD, ES LA TRAQBA PER SE, EL BLOQUEO GUARDA SUS SECRETOS. RECORDEMOS QUE SATURNO ES CRONOS, EL SEÑOR DEL TIEMPO. JANUS, EL DIOS ROMANO BIFRONTE QUE ERA COLOCADO EN LAS PUERTAS DE LAS CASAS ROMANAS CON SUS DOS ROSTROS: UNO QUE MIRABA AL PASADO Y EL OTRO AL FUTURO. QUE MEJOR SIBOLISMO DE LA REENCARNACION??? MIRAR AL PASADO PARA CAMBIAR EL FUTURO, O SEA REVELAR PARA LIBERAR. Y COMO SE LIGA SATURNO CON EL KARMA??? SABEMOS QUE SATURNO ESTA LIGADO A LA CULPA, AL MIEDO, LA REPETICION. , LA NEGACION Y LOS BLOQUEOS. SATURNO NOS PERMITE POR POSICION Y ASPECTOS DESCUBRIR LOS PATRONES DE EXPERIENCIAS PASADAS, ASI COMO COMPORTAMIENTOS QUE NOS LLEVAN A LA REPETICION DE ERRORES, MARCANDO EL APEGO, EL TEMOR Y LA RETENCION DE LO YA CONOCIDO QUE IMPIDA CRECER.

NAKSHATRAS

Imagine if you will, that you are an ancient, living in a tribe with no electricity, or clock or any of the comforts of modernity. The Moon would be the most visible and practical method to tell time because of its motion and differing appearance each day. Each evening it is in a new place and a new state (waning, waxing, new, full) and after 27 or 28 days it returns to its original position. Now, as you are imagining that you are one of these ancients, and the position of the Moon tells days, and after the day’s events, looking up into the sky and regarding the Moon’s position, you note what happened that day, what kind of activities and whether they were fruitful or a failure and what kind of emotions came into play amongst your tribe and then you would notice the Moon’s position and it would become evident to you that a pattern is forming. The pattern is that when the Moon is in certain positions in the night’s sky, particular situations are encountered and these situations are readily visible to anyone. The human beings upon the earth then began to recognize that the gods were revealing their characters through the Moon. When the Moon was in particular Nakshatras it was better to perform marriages, business, medical treatment, harvesting, and so on. The Nakshatras would actually support or hinder these activities. A complex mythological system began to be built around the Nakshatras. And this was not just in India, although India has the most complete and uninterrupted system. In China, the Nakshatras are called mansions. In Arabic astrology, they are called houses. Even in the West, Nakshatras were used frequently and associated with magic. Giordano Bruno was the last man to develop a complex system of training the mind according to the Nakshatras and the drekkanas during the Renaissance. He was burnt at the stake for heresy in 1600. Since the Catholic Church wanted complete control of the hearts and minds of its subjects and since Nakshatras are lunar based and associated with magic and the night, is it presumptuous to assume that the Church would have none of it? Knowledge of the Nakshatras was then subsequently lost in the West, but they continued to flourish uninterruptedly in India to the present day. The Nakshatras are 27 constellations in the sky measuring 13 degrees 20 minutes each. This is the most ancient of zodiacs, mentioned in texts long before mention of Rasis. Nakshatras and Growth: Mythologically, the Nakshatras represent the wives of the Moon. The wives are the “shakti” or power of the Moon. When the Moon is traversing certain Nakshatras, the characteristics of that particular Nakshatra will manifest itself in the world. That Nakshatra’s shakti can be used effectively. This is why Nakshatras are so important in Muhurta (electional astrology). Certain Nakshatras will facilitate the growth of a new marriage or the growth of a successful business or the growth of successful medical treatment. As a side note, in the West, Nakshatras were used for performing spells and also for beginning certain ventures much like they are used in India today. The Church associated the Nakshatras with witchcraft and consequently, knowledge and their use was lost. A person’s natal Moon in a Nakshatra will give them a particular power that will give birth to situations, attitudes and circumstances. The Moon, being mind and consciousness, is so important in determining the attitude and general characteristics of a person as well as their strength and weaknesses. The Sun as the Atma, the Moon as the Jiva: The Sun is the Soul, its light is self-perpetuating. Without it, there would be no life. The Moon takes the Sun’s light and waxes and wanes; it grows bright and it grows dim. The Moon, therefore, represents the individual consciousness, the jiva, reflecting the Atma in manifested creation. Because individuality is determined by a mind, without mind there would be no individuality, the Moon rules the mind. The gods presiding over each Nakshatra and their myths will give a general theme to the life of the individual. Basis Above and Basis Below: The basis above is what is in the mind of the deity of the Nakshatra when thinking about life upon earth. The basis below is the natural consequence, or how that mindset manifests when living upon earth. It is not what is consciously in the mind of a person, it is the natural predisposition and what grows from this natural predisposition. Shakti: Shakti is the power inherent in the Nakshatra and the power in the mind of the individual. This power is innate and does not need conscious interference or will power. It is as innate as the color of one’s eyes even if the native is not aware of it. Ashwini “Owning horses” Deities: Ashwini Kumaras Symbol: the horse’s head Shakti: power to reach things quickly (shidhra vyapani shakti) Basis Above: creatures to be healed Basis Below: healing therapies Result: freedom from disease Ashwini natives are swift and are able to travel at high speeds. They are natural healers and being in their presence in soothing. They are good listeners and will make excellent therapists and psychologists. This is an animal Nakshatra so there is an affinity for animals, especially horses. They also have an affinity for vehicles. Ashwini people usually reach lofty heights in their chosen profession but not though ambition. Others recognize their efficient ways and natural soothing presence and they move up because of these qualities. Roy Rogers, the cowboy actor, has his natal Moon here and he was featured in over one hundred movies with his Palomino and German Shepherd. Peter Fonda, the lead in “Easy Rider”, also is an Ashwini native. The chopper was his metal stallion carrying him swiftly across the United States. Bharani “To bear” Deity: Yama, the god of death Symbol: vagina Shakti: power to take things away (apabharani shakti) Basis Above: removal of life from the body Basis Below: carry the soul to the realm of the ancestors Result: Moving on to the next world Bharani people are obsessed with death and/or transformation. Their power lies in taking things away. As long as the things taken away are negative or counterproductive, then the Bharani person works in line with the universe. For example, if one has a brain tumor, a Bharani surgeon will effectively be able to take it away. Garbage needs to be taken away. Psychologically, negative attitudes and self-defeating habits need to be taken away so that the person can better themselves. The vagina, as the symbol of Bharani, takes away the semen to produce another life, it takes away the vital essence of one being to create another. It also rips the fetus away from its contemplative, peaceful womb atmosphere and thrusts it into the noisy world. As a side note, Jim Morrison had his Moon in Bharani. Did you see the movie, “The Doors”? Throughout the entire movie, he spoke about and was obsessed with the subject of death. Many of his songs were about death. Krittika “Razor/cutter” Deity: Agni, the god of fire Symbol: A razor or sharp blade Shakti: To burn Basis Above: Heat Basis Below: Light Result: Burning and purification Krittika is also a transformative Nakshatra. Fire is the most purifying substance known. Krittika people are fiery, courageous and able to cut away the unnecessary to achieve their goals. Frida Kahlo had her Moon in Krittika and her art is filled with images of cut flesh and even a self-portrait of cutting her own hair. There are myths associated with Agni, the god of fire that tell of high sexual passion and illicit affairs with other married individuals, note that Katherine Hepburn’s Moon is also under the sway of Krittika and her 25 year affair with the married Spencer Tracy was hardly a secret. Rohini “The growing” or “the red” Deity: Prajapati, lord of creation Symbol: an ox cart Shakti: growth Basis Above: plants Basis Below: waters Result: creation Rohini is a soft, tender nakshatra. This was the favorite wife of the Moon. The deity, Prajapati is a creative deity, presiding over theatrical art, dancing and music and all growth. Rohini, as the favorite wife of the Moon, was highly talented in these arts as well as highly skilled in making love. In Vedic myth, the Moon stayed with Rohini to the detriment of his other wives because of her beauty grace and charm. The father of the brides, Daksha, cursed the Moon, so now he waxes and wanes as he visits all of his wives. Rohini people make wonderful dancers, Fred Astaire has his natal Moon here. Rohini people are concerned with growth, note that Sigmund Freud, doing research into the growing mind of the individual from babyhood, through toddler years, revolved an entire thesis around how the perceptual mind grows in psychology. Mrigashira “the deer’s head” “hunting” Deity: Soma, god of immortality Symbol: deer’s head Shakti: the power to give fulfillment Basis Above: to extend Basis Below: weaving Result: Making the world enjoyable Mrigashira individuals search within the creation for satiation and usually find it. They extend themselves into creation, weaving a pattern of karmas, but these desires to be fulfilled are benign and the motivation behind them is to enjoy the creation. Mrigashira individuals are charming, changeable, timid, and impulsive. They like to hunt for the objects of their desires. The house placement of the Moon as well as any planets conjunct the Moon in Mrigashira will give clues as to what the native is hunting. Mrigashira is an animal Nakshatra, so there is a natural love of animals and nature unless planets are severely afflicted here. Also, as a side note, Mrigashira people often have big, beautiful, doe-like eyes. An example is Brooke Shields and Goldie Hawn who both have their Moons in this asterism. Ardra “the moist one” Deity: Rudra, the storm-god Symbol: a teardrop Shakti: the power of effort Basis Above: to hunt or search Basis Below: reach the goal Result: achievement Rudra, the god of Ardra, is a form of Shiva. Shiva is very unconventional and heretical in his actions and views, so Ardra people are inclined to be the same way. The symbol is a teardrop, so high emotion is associated with this asterism. Often Ardra individuals will be moved to tears, and since Shiva is the god of destruction and suffering, often Ardra people will suffer for what they want and to achieve their goals. In order to reach the goal, there is suffering and destruction of some sort along the way. Ardra’s planetary ruler is Rahu, showing an obsessive, strong desire nature. Ardra natives can make their goals their obsessions, giving a powerful impetus for success, however if they do not have a beneficial and healthy goal, they can fall into addictions. Janis Joplin and Farrah Fawcett have their natal Moons placed here. The sad story of Janis Joplin’s addictions ruining her after she achieved great success is well known. Farrah Fawcett was also a household word in the late 70’s but did have some addictive problems recently. Punarvasu “return to goodness and light” Deity: Aditi, mother of the gods Symbol: a quiver of arrows Shakti: the power of wealth or substance Basis Above: wind, air Basis Below: wetness, rain Result: producing herbs and trees Aditi, the mother goddess, is beyond form and boundless. She is goddess of space and also of the earth. Like the goddess, Punarvasu people love freedom and expansion. The have the natural ability to create wealth and prosperity. They have many resources from which to draw upon, represented by the quiver of arrows. They like to store and retain their creations and energy instead of spending it. They have a strong sense of virtue and of right and wrong. The ability to resurrect a failing marriage or career, or regain self-respect, prosperity or income is a natural talent among these natives. The person may become overly enamored of material well being and use it for selfish reasons, but will always return to the balanced, correct path. Rehabilitation is a key word here. David Hasselhoff has his Moon here and has been through many rehabilitations for alcohol related problems and he also knows that his actions are self-defeating and seeks out help to renew himself. Pushya “nourishing” “the flower” Deity: Brihaspati, teacher of the devas (divine beings, gods) Symbol: udder of a cow Shakti: the power to create spiritual energy Basis Above: sacrificial worship Basis Below: the worshipper Result: possessing spiritual knowledge and energy Brihaspati as the lord of Pushya rules knowledge and Pushya natives tend to be professionals in their field and quite knowledgeable. They will nourish anything they come into contact with and make it grow and thrive. As a result, this Nakshatra has the reputation of being the most auspicious Nakshatra. Luck naturally comes the way of the Pushya person. Prosperity and wealth are also attributes that seem to bless the life of the native of Pushya. Learning and mental energy are favored by this Nakshatra. Clint Eastwood, Joe Montana and Gloria Steinem all have their natal Moons in Pushya. All three of these individuals are extremely learned and fortunate in their respective fields. Ashlesha “entwiner” “embracer” Deity: Sarpas, the deified serpents Symbol: a coiled serpent Shakti: the power to inflict with poison Basis Above: the approach of the serpent Basis Below: agitation or trembling Result: destruction of the victim Ashlesha natives entwine or embrace that which they desire. They have a hypnotic, sensual, undulating quality which can metaphorically paralyze the object of their gaze. The poison they inflict can be to destroy or an ambrosial nectar that will bring about illusions within the recipient. They do not have the magnetic, charismatic qualities to sway the masses, usually their hypnotic powers work best on a one to one basis. Snakes are representative of the kundalini energy so this asterism has intense mystical power. The sarpas inhabit the underworld, so the Ashlesha native will be fascinated by the hidden, occult, deeply psychological areas of life. They are also akin to snakes as they periodically shed their skin and go through many transformations in life. Examples of Ashlesha natives are Marilyn Manson where the fascination with the dark side of life is quite apparent. Barbara Streisand is also a native with an Ashlesha moon. It has been rumored that she is rather difficult to work with and she has also gone through many transformations in her long and prosperous career. As a worthy note, Ashlesha rules fingernails; she possesses these in abundance and they are world famous. Magha “the great one” Deity: The Pitris, the deified ancestors Symbol: throne room, royal court Shakti: the power to leave the body Basis Above: mourning Basis Below: leaving the body Result: death This Nakshatra is a very fated Nakshatra. These natives are highly relegated by what their ancestors have done and the desires of their ancestors. This Nakshatra has as its basis above, mourning, which above all is an awareness in the consciousness that things must be let go of and moved past. There are several phases in life that the person will move through and many people and situations they will be obliged to let go of. In the mythology of this Nakshatra, the Pitris live on the Moon, which represents that the ancestors are connected to our genetic make-up and guiding the destiny because of the link with consciousness. Because of the connection to the “throne room” and royal court, Magha natives often obtain a high level of success and fame in life. Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin have their natal Moon in this asterism. Purva Phalguni “the former red one” Deity: Bhaga, the god of wealth, especially inherited wealth Symbol: legs of a cot Shakti: the power to procreate Basis Above: the wife, female partner Basis Below: the husband, male partner Result: the creation of a living being All Purva Nakshatras deal with tremendous creative and conceptual powers. The Uttara Nakshatras are the natural follow up as they make the ideas and concepts into tangible results. Purva Phalguni is a highly creative Nakshatra with many artists and musicians as its natives. There is a predisposition to being overly sensual and fascinated by sexuality. These natives seem to create something of value while in partnership, not necessarily romantic partnership. When they create alone, it is most often unbalanced. There is a strong thirst for direct experience and a need to have concepts recognized. At one time the most famous woman in the world, Madonna, has her natal Moon here. Madonna’s fascination with sexuality and artistic talents are well known. Most of her documented life she has been one half of a partnership. Uttara Phalguni “the latter red one” Deity: Aryaman, god of chivalry and contracts Symbol: a bed or a cot Shakti: the power of wealth and accumulation through partnership Basis Above: wealth obtained through one’s family Basis Below: wealth obtained through the partner or partner’s family Result: accumulation of wealth Uttara Phalguni is an asterism that will take the concepts and ideas of the previous Nakshatra and turn them into tangible results. This is a wealth Nakshatra and the native is able to benefit greatly from the wealth of his family and the wealth of the partner if the Moon is unafflicted here. It does not necessarily mean that the native’s family is wealthy or that the partner is wealthy, but that the native benefits from these avenues of wealth. Like the deity, Aryaman who lords over proper conduct according to social mores and correct behavior, these natives are concerned with these concepts as well. This is also a Nakshatra where partnerships are favored and anything created in a partnership will thrive and bring wealth. Examples of this wealth through partnership can be seen through the natives of Barbara Bach, the wife of Ringo Starr and Eva Braun, the chere amie of Hitler. Hasta “the hand” Deity: Savitar the Sun, giver of life Symbol: a hand or fist Shakti: the power to gain our desire and place it in our hand Basis Above: seeking gain Basis Below: obtaining the desire Result: obtainment of wish and put in one’s hand Hasta natives can acquire the objects of the desires in their consciousness. If their Moon is afflicted, they will be confused about what they want. The symbol is the hand, so these natives are naturally dexterous and highly skilled. The deity, Savitar, rules over the control of the mind that gives higher awareness and the necessary focus to obtain what we want. Out of divine inspiration, these natives will usually unselfishly create with their hands. Orville Wright has his natal Moon here. Savitar also rules mantras and divine words, so the Hasta native will have a good capacity for writing and speaking. Sylvia Plath, the tragic but incredibly talented poet, had her natal Moon here as well. Her Moon however, was very dim and in the 8th house, hence her poems were about death and transformation of the psyche. Chitra “the bright” “the distinguished” Deity: Tvashtar or Vishvakarma, the celestial architect Symbol: a shining jewel Shakti: the power to accumulate merit Basis Above: law Basis Below: truth Result: gain of honor in one’s work Chitra natives have the brightest star on the ecliptic, Spica, illuminating their constellation, hence their name, “the Bright”. They like to shine in what they do and do it with a certain flair and magnetism. They also like to be completely responsible for their creations as the deity, Vishvakarma is the divine architect. Chitra natives try to do their best in everything they do and they are extremely motivated to follow their own Truth. They are bright, charismatic and usually powerful. If the Moon is severely afflicted, what they believe to be the Truth may be highly twisted, but they will still be motivated to follow their own personal path. This is a profoundly spiritual Nakshatra. These natives will have flashes of inspiration and will want to become self-realized. Righteous activity will result in accumulation of merit, the shakti of Chitra. Sylvester Stallone, Ted Turner and both George Bushes have their Moons in Chitra. Swati “the independent one” Deity: Vayu, deified wind Symbol: a young sprout swaying in the wind Shakti: the power to scatter like the wind Basis Above: movement in different directions Basis Below: changing form Result: transformation Wind means change. Reflect upon the saying, “Winds of Change”. Swati natives take something and transform it. Their lives are characterized by much movement and change. They thrive upon this and get bored when things are stagnant. These natives have a pioneering spirit and are very independent. Because their shakti is to scatter like the wind, they will be adventurous and restless and love to travel. Wind governs speech and the communicative faculty, the vocal chords, so these native will have natural talents in speaking and singing. Vayu, the deity of this Nakshatra, is also lord of the celestial musicians, so these natives often love music or have talent in this area. Charles Chaplin, Miles Davis, a trumpet player of which blowing air is paramount, and Johnny Cash all have their Moons in this asterism. Vishakha “the forked one” Deities: Indragni, two gods of lightning and fire Symbol: leaf encrusted triumphal gateway Shakti: the power to achieve many and various goals Basis Above: to cultivate Basis Below: the harvest Result: fruits of the harvest Vishakha, as a Jupiter ruled Nakshatra, is connected to divine spirit. These natives need to define spirituality for themselves or some kind of dharmic (purposeful) path must be put into place to guide their lives. These natives are also planners, they do not act impulsively. The inherent nature of cultivation and then reaping the harvest takes time, so these natives are very patient and persistent. They are multi-faceted and have many talents. They often will make good farmers and gardeners. Vishakha natives will cultivate their ideas and creations until they have reached perfection. The deities are ones of lightning and fire, so therefore are extremely intense and often will disregard others in their pursuit of their desire. Jimmy Carter, who was once a farmer and Jules Verne, who was both a writer of science fiction and a politician, both have their native Moons here. Anuradha “additional Radha” Deity: Mitra, god of friendship, lord of compassion Symbol: a lotus, archway Shakti: the power of worship Basis Above: to ascend Basis Below: to descend Result: Honor and abundance Natives with Anuradha as their Nakshatra have a very fated path with regard to friends. Really good friends are naturally fated because they usually give us help when needed and boosts in career, finance, etc. Anuradha is also ruled by Saturn, the planet of fate. These natives usually take longer than usual to reach their goals and must go through many adversities in early life before they are able to come into their own as represented by the lotus. Honor and loyalty play a major role in their life as well. They are often very devoted to something, hence their shakti as power of worship. The worship does not have to be something spiritual, it can be a concept, a career, a person. The god Mitra, abhors violence and disputes, so these natives usually do not like passionate confrontations. This is a goal oriented Nakshatra and these natives reach their goals through the alliances they maintain with others. Bob Geldof, the instigator of the Live Aid concerts and Francis Ford Coppola have Anuradha as their Moons’ Nakshatra. Jyeshtha “the eldest” Deity: Indra, king of gods, lord of storms Symbol: earring, talisman Shakti: the power to rise and conquer Basis Above: to attack Basis Below: to defend Result: To gain supremacy among the gods Jyeshtha, as all Nakshatras ruled by Mercury, is concerned with tangible results. As the eldest, and Indra as the deity, these people are fierce fighters and love a challenge. They are very powerful people and have the ability to rise above circumstances and become a hero. They tend to see life as a battle. Because Jyeshtha means the eldest, these people often hold positions of seniority and authority. There is very powerful sexual potency in this Nakshatra and these natives have a forceful impact on people and may be prone to adultery and illicit sexual encounters. Their sexual desire may cause them to seek fulfillment outside of their primary relationships. The Jyeshtha person can never be held down. They will always rise again to life’s challenges. Tiger Woods, Oprah Winfrey and Alexander the Great are some examples of Jyeshtha natives Mula “the root” Deity: Nirriti, goddess of misery Symbol: tied up bunch of roots, lion’s tail Shakti: the power to destroy or damage Basis Above: to break Basis Below: to crush Result: destruction Mula people like to take things apart, literally destroy them, before they create anything. Mula natives are focused on getting to the root of a concept, situation or thing so they inevitably must destroy most of the thing to get at its essence. Mula is a constellation at the middle of the Milky Way, so these natives become intensely interested in their object of study and penetrate the core of whatever it is that they are focused upon. They like to uncover secret knowledge. Because of the naturally difficult aspects of this Nakshatra, Mula natives are prone to experience utter loss and disappointment at some time in their lives. As this is happening, Nirriti will give a healing salve to those in distress. She is also protector of those people who are mentally and physically disabled The Mula person will confront fear and it will flee. A Mula person has an inner warrior that can confront anything. Prominent Mula people are Henri Matisse and Krishnamurti. Purva Ashadha “the former undefeated” Deity: Apas, goddess of waters Symbol: a basket used for separating grain from the husk Shakti: the power to invigorate or energize Basis Above: strength Basis Below: connection Result: to gain the sea upon wishing for it Purva Nakshatras, as mentioned before, are concerned with concepts and ideas. Purva Ashadha’s deity, Apas, is the goddess of waters. In this context it means water as flowing. Purva Ashadha people are invigorating and inspiring. They like to feel connected. Water is what invigorates us in the body. When we are dehydrated we feel de-energized and uninvigorated; flowing water remedies this. These people have great luster and charisma. They use their natural strength to bring people together for a cause. Is it no surprise that Hitler has this Nakshatra as his Moon’s asterism. Because it is “the former undefeated”, these people tend to succeed quickly and success and victory. This is also a highly creative Nakshatra with a lot of sexual potency, so they tend to attract romantic partners and friends that help them win their goals. Other prominent people with this Nakshatra are Johnny Depp, Ernest Hemingway and Cher. Uttara Ashadha “the latter undefeated” Deity: The Ten Vishvadevas, universal gods Symbol: an elephant’s tusk Shakti: the power to grant an unchallengeable victory Basis Above: strength to win Basis Below: the goal that one can win Result: becomes the victor that can never lose Uttara Ashadha also denotes victory. However, since this is “the latter undefeated”, these people tend to succeed later and have more patience and perseverance. Since it is Uttara, it is more concerned with tangible results than ideas and concepts. Many of these people take on incredible odds but are able to succeed anyway. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln have their Moons here. Uttara Ashadha people have an intense desire behind which they throw their strong will to achieve a victory that endures. They have leadership qualities and a natural diplomacy. Shravana “the ear” Deity: Vishnu, the Pervader Symbol: three footprints Shakti: the power to connect Basis Above: seeking Basis Below: paths Result: connection of all things As “the ear” is representative of Shravana, hearing becomes very important for this Nakshatra. Hearing becomes what we think. These natives want to connect things and people, so what they hear becomes a means for connection. What they hear decides their path. You know the saying, “That sounds good”. This determines our decision when something sounds better than something else. These natives, when following a yogic path, can naturally hear the sound of Om very easily. This is also the Nakshatra of listening, so these natives make great listeners and develop a profound wisdom. Three footprints symbolize walking and traveling, so the Shravana person will like to walk, run and/or travel. Charles Manson has his Moon in this Nakshatra. He killed because he heard the White Album of the Beatles and believed it was heralding a race war. Henry Ford also has this asterism and what better way to connect people than to provide automobiles which made travel much faster and efficient. Dhanishtha “the wealthiest” Deities: the eight Vasus, gods of light and abundance Symbol: a musical drum Shakti: the power to give abundance and fame Basis Above: birth Basis Below: prosperity Result: To revolve around the summit of the gods Dhanishtha is a wealth Nakshatra. Its natives have the power to acquire immense wealth, whatever that may be. It is usually wealth of the financial kind, but it can also be measured in fame as well. Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana, arguably the most famous women to have ever lived, have their Moons here. This is also a Nakshatra of Nature. The natives enjoy spending time in the woods away from the hustle and bustle of crowded cities. Many of these natives are born into wealth and then acquire even more as life progresses or they are born famous or within a famous family. They have a knack for acquiring fame and fortune if they are not born into it. They also give prosperity to things they become involved with. Often these natives give birth to something original as that is there basis above. Fidel Castro gave birth to Communism in Cuba. He is considered an extremely successful leader amongst his own people. A musical drum as the symbol often make these natives musicians or gives a good rhythm as in dancing. Shatabishak “possessing or requiring one hundred physicians or medicines” Deity: Varuna, god of rain and water Symbol: an empty circle Shakti: the power of healing Basis Above: all-pervasiveness Basis Below: support for everything Result: Firmness in understanding Varuna, the deity, is “the coverer” or “the binder”, thus these natives have a hidden, secret side that they hide from the world. Varuna rules the invisible so these natives are very unpredictable. Before Varuna was associated with water, he was the god of the “all-encompassing sky” and he was the support for creation. He actually created the Nakshatras, thus these natives seem to be all knowing and know things without any methodical practice. They can assimilate diverse information and unite it into an all-encompassing theory. Since Varuna created the Nakshatras, these natives exist to heal the creation. Each individual jiva needs to be healed, that is the purpose of creation, to heal, so that enlightenment can be reached. The all pervading aspect of Shatabisha shows up in the horoscope of J. Edgar Hoover, the former head of the FBI. Elvis Presley and Prince also have their natal Moons here. Purva Bhadrapada “earlier auspicious one” Deity: Aja Ekapada, the one-footed goat Symbol: double faced man, a sword, two front legs of a funeral bed Shakti: the power of spiritual fire which is elevating Basis Above: that which is good for people Basis Below: that which is good for the gods Result: to gain support for the entire world through spiritual knowledge Purva Bhadrapada natives are inspired by what is good for all people. They are motivated by supporting the world through knowledge and do not have a need to be recognized for what they do. This is a devotional, worship centered Nakshatra. When they become interested in something, they will revere it. Worship is really attention. That which our attention focuses upon the most consistently and methodically is that which we worship. Hugh Hefner has his natal Moon here and through his worship of the female form, was able to create a publishing empire. Martin Luther King also has his Moon here and was able to create and promote concepts and ideas of fairness and equality. He definitely had spiritual fire which was elevating and when people act correctly (basis above) they please the gods (basis below). Uttara Bhadrapada “later auspicious one” Deity: Ahir Budhya, serpent of the deep Symbol: two joined men, the back end of a funeral bed Shakti: the power to bring rain Basis Above: the raining of clouds Basis Below: the growth of plants Result: Nourishment and balance between earth and sky Uttara Bhadrapada natives want to bring nourishment. The world is not stable because there is hunger and need. These natives want to bring stability by fulfilling needs. They want to bring about peace and balance. Uttara Bhadrapada’s skakti is to bring the rain. Rain represents a quelling of a thirsty earth, but also the condensation of ideas and inspiration into tangible form that can do some good in a practical way. Bill Gates is an Uttara Bhadrapada native. He answered a need for the sharing of information and heightened communication and fulfilled that need with a concrete product. Now anyone almost anywhere in the world can find information about any subject or find what they want through a computer. This has brought a certain kind of nourishment to the human race. Revati “wealthy” Deity: Pushan, Sun as Nourisher and finder of lost things and animals Symbol: a drum, fish Shakti: the power of nourishment Basis Above: cows Basis Below: calves Result: Nourishment of entire world Revati natives will go out of their way to care for someone. They instinctively know what is needed on an immediate physical or psychological level and as a result are usually wonderful people to have as friends. Revati natives also love traveling and usually had great good luck while on travels. The symbol of a drum gives them good dancing and musical ability. They also love animals. If planets are severely afflicted here, there may come harm from animals. Angelina Jolie has her natal Moon here. She has been deeply moved by the hunger and poverty she has seen in third world countries and has now dedicated her life to helping those in need. She has adopted impoverished children and given them a life they would never have dreamed of. She is also constantly globe trotting to fulfill her new humanitarian obligations. Revati is also a Nakshatra of prosperity
