Poorva Phalguni

On By Madhuri G4 Comments

Today the Moon is travelling through the stars of Poorva Phalguni.

Here is a small excerpt from the book that comes with the Nakshatra Cards.

The writing on each Nakshatra comes in two sections, the following is the first part.

n11 Poorva Phalguni

The Star of Fortune.
This Nakshatra is associated with the planet Venus and is placed
entirely in the zodiac sign of Leo which is ruled by the Sun. Here we are
dealing with the energy of a Venus/Sun combination. Rather delightful,
all the good things like: beauty, love, devotion, luxury, enjoyment, and
the teachings Guru Venus has to offer us, enlightened by the full light
of the Sun. This is the Fortune that Poorva Phalguni offers us.
Creativity and pleasure are at their peak in this Nakshatra!
The presiding Deity of these stars is Bhaga, the God of Love, Pleasure
and Sexual Union. If we view life though the lens of Bhaga, we can
truly make heaven on earth. In Vedic times Bhaga certainly filled a
position of prominence. Love is the primal force of creation.
The Symbols for this Nakshatra are:

1, The front legs of the marriage
bed: sexual pleasure and rest.

2, The Shiva Lingam, symbolic of the
energy that generates the whole creation and an object of worship.

3, A fire place or Dhuni: giving the opportunity to immerse and purify
ourselves in the sacred fire of the living spirit that permeates all. In
short: sex, fertility and worship.
The symbol of the Shiva Lingam suggests that when this Nakshatra
works favourable it may give a true understanding of the sacred acts
of creation and procreation. Creative arts may reflect this spiritual
insight.

Anuradha

Today the Moon travels through the Stars of Anuradha

Below a small excerpt from the book “Science of Light, Wisdom from the stars”.

The Star of Success.
Anuradha is associated with the planet Saturn and lies entirely
in Scorpio, a sign ruled by Mars. The energy is comparable to a
Saturn/Mars conjunction, where the wisdom and patience of Saturn
tempers the passion of Mars. It leads to success here as Anuradha
follows, and forms a pair with, Vishaka Nakshatra where ambition
and focus is applied.17 Anuradha (2)
The Deity is Mitra, His name translates as “Friend”. The God of
Friendship, Love and Affection. The God of Bhakti, devotion. He
who is generous, gracious and kind and upholds the sacred law. Love
gives heaven on Earth. Long lasting loving friendships we see here.
The Symbols for Anuradha are: a triumphal arch decorated with leaves,
a staff, and a lotus flower. The archway represents victory. As part of
a wedding ceremony (affection, love and union) the couple passes
through such a decorated arch. The Lotus flower denotes the inherent
beauty, purity, and auspiciousness of the sentiments found in this
Nakshatra. The staff represents the wisdom and penance of the sage.

Ashlesha

The Clinging Star

 

Today the Moon is travelling through the stars of Ashlesha

Here is a small excerpt from the book “Science of Light, wisdom from the Stars” that comes with the 27 Nakshatra Cards

Ashlesha is associated with the planet Mercury and lies entirely in
the sign of Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon. The energy here
is comparable with a Mercury/ Moon conjunction. Mercury, ever
thinking, combining, writing scenarios may somewhat override the
Moon’s power to care unconditionally and may make the energy of9 Ashlesha (2)
this Nakshatra a bit over-controlling of loved ones at times. Mercury always wants the last word. Hanging on too tight perhaps, hence the name: The Clinging Star.
The Deities here are the Nagas. A race of Half Human–Half Snake
Beings. Although the Nagas belong in the lowest of the nether realms, they are the rulers of all the underworlds. Contrary to what
we may think, their realm is magnificent, full of shining palaces,
encrusted with sparkling jewels. Like the Dragons of old guarding
immense treasures, the Nagas may be seen as possessing untold riches.
They freely live and may be encountered in all the realms: Heavens, Earth, and Underworlds.
The Symbols for Ashlesha are Two Entwining Snakes, a very sensual picture, and a Three Times Coiled Snake, like the sleeping Kundalini force. We can picture the DNA spiral too, and genetic manipulation.
It is important to note that people with a prominent Ashlesha energy are usually not aware of their immense power, (the power to inflict poison) they can hurt others more than they realize.

Punarvasu

On By Madhuri G3 Comments
The Nakshatra Cards come with a book “Science of Light, Wisdom from the Stars”. It gives some information and advice on each Nakshatra. I will publish a series of sort samples from the book, starting today with Punarvasu.
Punarvasu has the planet Jupiter assigned to it. It lies partly in
the sign of Gemini and partly in Cancer.7-punarvasu-2-1

For the Gemini part we look at a Jupiter/Mercury combination: optimism, curiousity and
communication could be keywords here. For the Cancer part of
Punarvasu we see a Jupiter/Moon combo, again, well placed planets
can give us great optimism, happy, generous emotions and natural
wisdom here. After the tribulations of Ardra Nakshatra, we happily
start anew in Punarvasu, the Star of Renewal.
The Deity residing in Punarvasu is none other than the Great
Goddess of the whole Creation, the Mother of the Universe, Aditi.
The Mother of the Gods who even created Her own father. She who
gives birth again and again. She personifies undivided, unlimited
space and consciousness. She is One, her forms are Many. She resides in all, all resides in Her.
The Symbols for this Nakshatra are:

1. A bow and a quiver full of arrows. The arrows, once aimed and shot, always magically return to the quiver, so here we can aim again and again.

2. A house. Punarvasu gives the protection and safety, like being in a nice home. People with
prominent Punarvasu traits are home-bodies, sometimes needing to
make more effort to get out and travel.

3. Two chariots (2 cars on the card), often life lessons happen in pairs or twice for Punarvasu people,
particularly in Gemini.
