Bharani nakshatra
Bharani nakshatra (Arietis or a Muscae) Devata Yama. Lord Venus. It extends from
13:20 to 26:40. Symbol: Orifice of the womb (oss-mouth). It is possible to hav
e an idea of the nature of Bharani Nakshatra from the nature of Yama.
Yama purity, cleanliness, justice and integrity. The sense of restraint is also
Yama s gift; he is the lord of Dharma, a stern disciplinarian, a ruthless exposi
tor of truth, and a refuge for kings and law-abiding subjects. We should not alw
ays confine his interpretation to his being only the lord of death; he is the gr
eat judicature, the ultimate dispenser of reward and punishment. The story of Ya
ma-Nachiketa is a particularly 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 consequ
ence the giver of whatever is good, pure, truthful and honest.
The etymological meaning of Bharani is what deserves to be cultivated and preser
ved that is dependence, servitors, retainers or anything by which living is earn
ed, for example salary.
If you are born in the Bharani star you are likely to incur the displeasure of o
thers; they are enjoyers, obedient and learned; they fear water and get the weal
th of bad people. They know the scriptures, rationale, intelligent and win the q
uarrels. They bear scars on their body due to injuries. They are good speakers a
nd suffer from heart diseases. They are stable, knowledgeable and truthful. They
are long lived. They are also determined, and proud, they do not tolerate other
s’ prosperity.
Krittika nakshatra
Krittika nakshatra (Tauri or Alcyone) It extends from Mesa 26:40. The residuary
10: degree falls in Vrishabha. The Devata is Agni; Ruling planet is Sun. Agni is
the great purifier, the great consumer of and the giver of light, heat and brig
htness. 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 manifestat
ion of the same principle, which is Agni. Agni is the symbol of brightness and b
rilliance, all weapons with firepower. And other things of the same category com
e 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 a
nd inauspicious in the world. The dross thus blazed away, only effulgence and li
ght remain. Fire gives the earth its activity and dynamic and revives it after t
he 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 Rasi and Mangal is
like a mass of lightning in shining splendor. So, the Krittika in Mesa is devas
tatingly brilliant, the effulgence being closely associated with also an incendi
ary character. The Krittika of Vrishabha Rasi is brilliant but unlike the Kritti
ka of Mesha, not incendiary. The Lord of Vrishabha Rasi is Shukra and Shukra sta
nds 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 encyclopedic expounder
of all branches of learning. It follows that the Krittika of Vrishabha is brill
iant but the brilliance does not burn, it is soft and sweet, and benign. The Kri
ttika of Mesa Rasi is doubtless brilliant; it has plenty of heat, which burns. T
he Krittika of Vrishabha has on the contrary a softened radiance, a wave of brig
htness that does not hurt.
Those born when the Moon was in Krittika nakshatra are bereft of friends and fam
ily; endowed with son and they enjoy life and are very prosperous. They suffer f
rom hunger and they are without strength and money; they undertake purposeless t
raveling but recollect the help rendered by others. They are very harsh, and do
jobs forbidden. They are cruel and do good jobs and they also have defective fac
e. They are bright, instant angry and run after other women. They are heavy eate
rs and fiery. They are stingy, intelligent, famous, successful, loved by partner
, with property earned by them, white haired, afraid of wind and carry the symbo
ls of til and fish.

rd is derived from Rohan, which means to rise or to bring into existence. It ext
ends in the Vrishabha Rasi from 10 degree to 23:20. The ruling planet is Moon, t
he symbol a Cart drawn by Cows. The Devata is Brahma, the prime creator of all
things living, from the meanest insect to Man, the beauty of the weird, the para
gon of animals. Rohini- group therefore encompasses everything that comes within
the range of creation—beasts, birds, animals etc. It would also connote the proce
ss of growing, begetting, birth, production etc, in brief production, birth and
creation. Rising means process of ascending that is to say the creative evolutio
n, the cultivation and the improvement. Mythology describes Rohini the wife of C
handra. Of all the 27 Stars-all wives of Chandra-Rohini is said to have been fon
d of fine dress, cosmetics and decor and was the most beloved of Chandra. The Ro
hini (group) is, in the line with this, considered to be the cause of a taste fo
r fine dress, perfume, and other articles of toilet. Creation continues to exist
mainly on the basis of food; and Rohini is supposed to be the cause of food. Th
e direct and immediate cause of food is Agni and Brahma the remote cause. From t
his point of view the God who gives food, that is Agni, is the spiritual princip
le of Rohini (group) Nakshatra and because, Brahma the remote cause of food is a
lso the Devata of Rohini; the range of influences of this group runs over the wh
ole gamut of the visible and invisible animal world.

ter the churning of the Sea, the Samudra Manthan of the Hindu Mythology, the mot
her, motherly conduct that is to say maternal instincts, self-sacrifice without

ysical and mental aspects, all these come within this star. Shukra and Chandra b
oth are female grahas (planets) with difference that while Chandra is the Lord o
f motherhood, maternal instincts and all that, Shukra is the lord of feminine be
auty, the structure of feminine form, the physical excellence of women and all t
hat. In the former there is elegance and dignity of the feminine while in the la
tter, the physical beauty and the lure of feminine form, which leads a male capt
ive, 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 an
d causalities have to be traced.

Because the earth is running her menstrual course there are teardrops falling o
ne after another. From Rudra comes all suffering, persecutions and oppressions,
anger, ferocity of countenance or hideousness of noise. Rudra is another name of
Siva, the Five Faced (Panchanana). In knowledge, asceticism, renunciation, as a

ed far less achieved by other Gods, when the churned Ocean at the time of Samudr

his throat. On one side he is the symbol of the most perfect placidity and sere
nity, on the other hand he is the symbol of all that is terrible. He holds the g
reat serpent on his head and on his forehead crescent Chandra with his sweet-sof
t light. He is at the same time the most peaceful and also the most terrible. An
d in all these are to be traced the intrinsic characteristics of Arudra. Superfi
cially, on the surface of it, Arudra stands for suffering, hardness, cruelty, mu
rder, prison, theft, adultery etc. The root characteristic is oppression-in orde
r to purify. All male kidney trouble and connected urethral disease comes within

hat 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. Punarvasu
signifies these. It stands for freedom from restriction and limitation, and bou
ndless 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 o
f divine nectar and therefore miss the knowledge of fundamentals, fundamentals o
f 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 th

p into the deeper texture of thins, they had tasted the divine nectar and become
