imprisonment and beating others, low-born persons, and those who are devoid of courage (character or nobility).
Moon in Bharani : The person is firm in his resolutions, truthful, healthy, dexterous, free from grief and happy.
Attributes : It is possible to have an idea of the nature of Bharani Nakshatra from the nature of Rahu, Mangal and Yama.
To take Rahu first,
1. Rahu gives extravagant enjoyment of material pleasure and is later on the cause of sorrow,
2. Mangal gives courage, strength, exaltation and hope,
3. Yama gives purity, cleanliness, justice and integrity. The sense of restraint is also Yamas gift; he is the lord of Dharma,
a stern disciplinarian, a ruthless expositor of truth, and a refuge for kings and law-abiding subjects.

We should not always confine his interpretation to his being only the lord of death; he is the great judicature, the
ultimate dispenser of reward and punishment. The story of Yama-Nachiketa is a particular exposition of the hospitality
of Yama, his sense of dharma and knowledge of it, his superb honesty and great integrity and other divine virtues. The
Nakshatra of which he is the devata (God) is also in consequence the giver of whatever is good, pure, truthful and
honest.

The etymological meaning of Bharani is what deserves to be cultivated and preserved that is dependence, servitors,
retainers or anything by which living is earned, for example salary.

Brihat Samhita: When Saturn transits Bharani the person harms dancers or actors, musicians or singers, those who
play on musical instruments, the wicked and hunters.

Dasha ruler : Surya (Sun)

Symbol : sharp, razor like instrument
Deity : Agni (Fire god)
Rulership : White flowers, Brahmans who maintain and worship the sacred fire daily, those who know the sacred hymns
and sacrificial rules, grammarians, miners, barbers, Brahmans, potters, priests and astrologers.
Moon in Krittika : The person has a great appetite, is drawn to improper sexual relations, is very energetic and will be
famous.
Attributes : This is the birth star of Chandra. Many constellations gather at the tail end of Krithika group. It extends from
Mesa 26'40". The residuary 10'00" degree fall in Vrishabha. Lord (Adhipati) is Mangal and Shukra. Agni is the great
purifier, the great consumer of and the giver of light, heat and brightness. Agni causes the fire of life and the drive. It is
also the spark of life. Without fire creation would not exist. Agni is at the base of creation and of the continuation of
existence. It consumes everything. The fire of digestion in the human system and the external fire for cooking are only
different manifestations of the same principle which is Agni. Agni is the symbol of brightness and brilliance, all weapons
with fire-power. And other things of the same category come within the range of Krittika group. The fire is considered as
purifier; for it burns away all that is wicked, dark and dull, also all that is low and sinful and inauspicious in the world.
The dross thus blazed away, only effulgence and light remain. Fire gives the earth its activity and dynamismand revives it
after the spells of cold that periodically inflict comatose condition of the earth.

It is easy enough to deduce from fire the causal effect of the Krittika group. Mangal is the lord of that part of Krittika
which is in Mesha Rashi and Mangal is like a mass of lightning in shining splendour. So, the Krittika in Mesa is
devastatingly brilliant, the effulgence being closely associated with also an incendiary character. The Krittika of
Vrishabha Rashi is brilliant but unlike the Krittika of Mesha, not incendiary. The lord of Vrishabha Rashi is brilliant but
unlike the Krittika of Mesha, not incendiary. The Lord of Vrishabha Rashi is Shukra and Shukra stands for worship of
beauty and for poetry and imagination. He is radiantly white like snow, the Kunda flower and the Utpal. He is also the
encyclopaedic expounder of all branches of learning. It follows that the Krittika of Vrishabha is brilliant but the brilliance
does not burn, it is soft and sweet, and benign.The Krittika of Mesha Rashi is doubtless brilliant, it has plenty of heat
which burns. The Krittika of Vrishabha has on the contrary a softened radiance, a wave of brightness that does not hurt.

Brihat Samhita: When Saturn transits Krttika, those who work on fire i.e. goldsmiths, blacksmiths etc., and army
commanders come to grief. There will be dreadful unrest and violence among the subjects. When Jupiter and Saturn
occupy Krittika together, the capital will be stormed.

jobs. They respect theirs parents and are leaders of army. They serve the king.

toilet. Creation continues to exist mainly on the basis of food; and Rohini is supposed to be the cause of food. The direct

Attributes : Mrigashira Nakshatra extends from 23'20" inVrishabha Rashi up to 6'40" in Mithun. The word Mriga
represents forests, gardens, asearch, a seeking to find, to roam about in the forests and a hunter, toseek, to blaze the

Chandra is the lord of the mind, so all mental attitude, good or bad, sympathies and antipathies, patience and
impatience, the fidgetiness and placidity, imagination, the gift of poetry, purity, sweetness and light, physical and mental
aspects, all these come within this star and when things of sweetness and light of physic as also of the mind, both
derivatives from Chandra, the horoscope of Rabindra Nath comes to mind. His Janma Lagna was Meena with Chandra
there and Guru was in Karkata Rashi. Because of this yoga Rabindra Nath had something like physical translucence which
was object of admiration all the world over, wherever people met. Also, at the same time his poetry enthralled the
whole world. Chandra is a sub-Graha around the earth and that is why the influence of Chandra on all that happens in
the earth is so paramount. And again that is why the influence of Chandra on both the body and mind is simultaneously
so very great. Shukra and Chandra both are female grahas (planets) with the difference that while Chandra is the Lord of
motherhood and maternal instincts, Shukra is the lord of feminine beauty, the structure of feminine form, the physical
excellence of women and all. In the former, there is elegance and dignity of the female while in the latter, the physical
beauty and the lure of feminine form which leads a male captive, dominates. Chandra is the lord of marine products and
of medicines; that it was from the sea that Chandra rose. And it is to Chandra that the influences and causalities have to
be traced.

Deity : Isa (a god associated with wind and destruction)
Rulership : Murderers, animal catchers, liars, adulterers, thieves, rogues,creators of discord, cruel persons, charmers,
sorcerers, those well versed in the art of raising goblins.
Moon in Ardra : The person is deceitful and haughty, ungrateful, cruel, mischievous and vicious.

Attributes : Ardra nakshatra extends in Mithun from 6'40" to 20'00" The lord of Ardra is Budha. When Surya enters
Ardra, the earth is said to be starting its menstrual course, that is Ambobachi. Ardra means wet or surcharged with
water. Because the earth is running her menstrual course there are tear drops falling one after another.

From Rudra comes all suffering, persecutions and oppressions, anger,, ferocity of countenance or hideousness of noise.
Rudra is another name of Shiva, the Five Faced (Panchanana). In knowledge, asceticism, renunciation, as also in
enjoyment, he is the supreme consummation of all desires. He is a blue-throated one, the wielder of the most
tremendous powers, what could not be attempted, far less achieved by other Gods, when the churned Ocean at the
time of Samudra Manthan exhaled poison Siva achieved quite simply by holding the exhalation in his throat. On one side
he is the symbol of the most perfect placidity and serenity, on the other hand he is the symbol of all that is terrible. He
holds the great serpent on his head and on his forehead crescent Chandra with his sweet-soft light. He is at the same
time the most peaceful and also the most terrible. And in all these are to be traced the intrinsic characteristics of Ardra.
Superficially, on the surface of it, Ardra stands for suffering, hardness, cruelty, murder, prison, theft, adultery etc. The
root characteristic is oppression-in order to purify. All male kidney trouble and connected urethral disease comes within
the jurisdiction of Ardra; so also uterine diseases of the female. Anthropomorphically it is the skull of kalapurush and the
hair on it.

Brihat Samhita: When Saturn transits Ardra, trouble befalls the people of the Parata and Ramatha countries,
oilmongers, washermen and dyers as well as thieves.

Attributes : Spread from 20'00" degrees Mithun up to 3'20" Karkata. The word Punarvasu is derived from Puna+Vasu,
which means return, renewal, restoration or repetition. The 12 Adityas were born of Kashyapa in the womb of Aditi. The
12 Vasus are Indra, Vishnu, Vaga, Twashta, Varun, Aryamana, Pusa, Mitra, Agni, Parjyanya, Vivaswan and Dinakar. The
mother Aditi of whom the Gods are born is the repository of everything good - truth, generosity, magnanimity, purity,
aristocracy, beauty and renown. It follows that this star is the cause for these virtues.

To start afresh after having once broken off, to start a new life, to come back from a distant land-all these are signified
by Punarvasu. It stands for freedom from restriction and limitation, and boundless space. The Gods, the children of Aditi,
are basically and essentially are different from children of Diti, who are demons. The demons never had a taste of divine
nectar and therefore miss the knowledge of fundamentals, and the fundamentals of creation and mystery. They were
engrossed with or deeply emerged in enjoyment of the externals, the materialistic aspect of the universe. Gold and sex
were the two immediate pursuits, which made them extroverts. The Gods however, could rip into the deeper texture of
things, they had tasted the divine nectar and become partners in supreme divine bliss and Punarvasu represents all
these.

Dasha ruler : Ketu

Symbol : a royal throne room
Deity : the Pitras (one's family ancestors)
Rulership : People rich in gold (money), and corn, granaries, mountaineers, those who are devoted to parents or the
manes, traders, heroes, carnivorous beings and women-haters.
Moon in Magha : The person will have many servants and wealth, enjoys the senses, is devoted to the devas and
ancestors and is very enthusiastic.

Attributes : Spread from 0'00" degree to 13'20" Simha. The virtues and vices of the father's family, wealth, glory, beauty,
strength and prowess, lustre and effulgence, superior qualities, sharpness of intellect, nobility, prestige, replenishment,
and increased wisdom, brilliance, capacity and willingness to donate, ancestors on the paternal side-all these are
effected by Magha. In no star is the position of Ravi so magnificent and dignified. Ravi in "Ashwini" is brilliant no doubt
but the brilliancy is of incendiary character. It burns everything about it. Surya is then a terrible ball of fire. But in Magha
Ravi is like an emperor, confident and self-assured. If happy and pleased he is in a mood to make any benediction or gift.

When Ravi is in Magha, Shani gets alarmed and that is natural. For Shani is by character, of a mean disposition, the
nature of a slave, no wonder that mean and lowly Shani cannot brook the beauty and the dignity of the position of Ravi
in Magha. That is why Shani is "Neecha" and anti-meridional in Ashwini and meanness and wilyness of Shani increases. If
Shani is the lord of 9th and 10th houses and is placed in the 4th house and associated with Magha, he adversely
influences the effects of the 4th and 10th houses. Magha is the cause of brightness and light. Therefore old and gloomy
Grahas cannot stand it. Magha stands for noble impulses and incentives, the gift of Magha must always be a noble one.
Magha has been described as glorious one. Anthropomorphically it is the nose of Kalpurusha.

Brihat Samhita: When Saturn transits Magha, the Bahlikas, Cinas, Gandharas, Sulikas, Paratas, traders (or Vaisyas),
godowns and Kiratas come to grief.

Dasha ruler : Moon

Symbol : a hand
Deity : Surya
Rulership : thieves, elephants, those who travel in chariots, elephant drivers, artisans, commodities, cereals, men
learned in Vedas, traders and men of prowess.
Moon in Hasta : the person is liable to get excited easily and intensely, is bold and insolent, susceptible to drinking, is
heartless and a thief.

Attributes : Spread from 10'00" to 23'20" Kanya. The 12 names of the sun are:
(1) Arun, (2) Aditya, (3) Tapan, (4) Divakar, (5) Bhaskar, (6) Bhanu, (7) Martanda, (8) Mihir, (9) Ravi, (10) Bivakar, (11)
Sahasramsu and (12) Surya.

All the attributes these names etymologically connote are caused by this star. From the Surya we derive creativity and
creation, and from creation we derive light, lustre, and strength. Surya is the prime cause of dominion, kingship, power
of immunity and the light that dispels darkness. Budha is the cause of knowledge. If placed in this star he sheds light all
around. Ravi with this Nakshatra enhances the instinct of dominion and the capacity to rule over others. It brushes up
human intelligence, making it more luminous and makes a man vibrant with life and light.

The symbol is a closed hand or fist. It would follow that this signifies determination and clenched resolution. To keep
everybody within one's grip, the possessive instinct follows from the nature of this star. The magician and the pick-
pocket are also born under this star - variation from nobler attributes.

Anthropomorphically it is the hand of Kalapurush.

Brihat Samhita: When Saturn transits Hasta, barbers, potters, oil-manufacturers etc., thieves, physicians, tailors
(needle-workers), elephant-catchers (or elephants and crocodiles), harlots, the people of the Kosala country and
garland-makers (florists) come to harm.
