So the 17th nakshatra of Anuradha falls in the beginning part of Scorpio so to speak.
Dueled by Mars and it's a Shatriya sign, right?
Shatriya planet.
What does that signify?
Anuradha is on about love and bonding.
Finding the love to reach the zenith point is the life lesson of Anuradha.
So what is Anuradha seeking in terms of heart of the nakshatra itself?
What is it that drives the Anuradha nakshatra?
Let's roll the intro.
Like you see there, the 17th nakshatra of Anuradha has the life lesson of merging which needs
a bond of love.
Anuradha needs to merge itself with something with a bond of love in order to feel something,
in order to reach the zenith point.
I'm jumping ahead of myself.
Let's just start from the top.
The temperament of Anuradha nakshatra is Dev.
Which means it is looking for a higher ideology of life.
Dev is about higher ideologies.
All the Dev Ganas are about seeking the higher ideologies of life.
Its varnah is Shudra meaning its propensity is to go in for work, daily grind of work
so to speak.
That's one of the qualities of any Shudra.
Nakshatra, its type is passive meaning what?
Again, they recap.
All passive nakshatras have a challenge.
What is the challenge of a passive nakshatra?
They will sit there and not do anything waiting for things to come to them.
Reactionary rather than being proactive about something in their life.
So passive nakshatras need some sort of an inspiration which is unique to each and every
nakshatra which they need to go in for which is buried in the life lesson down there.
In order for it to become active, a nakshatra can sit there and be very passive and not
accomplish anything in their life.
It can happen.
In fact, that's most common.
This is why I'm bringing all this stuff to you.
How do you activate a nakshatra so that whatever planets are sitting there suddenly become
alive, suddenly have that exuberance of life, have some energy, have something in them that
says, I need to wake up, I need to go and do something in this world.
So the type is passive.
The drive is stithi which means it is more interested in preservation, self-preservation,
having something rather than going and creating something.
It is not a creator nakshatra.
Think about this first.
It is stithi.
It wants to preserve something as a tradition, as a way of work or in whatever it is trying
to accomplish.
The Lord is Mars because it is sitting in Scorpio.
Therefore it is Shatriya.
Therefore it is interested in power, in politics, in leadership.
So right off the bat, we can say that the angles in the Detained chart for Anuradha
good ones are the top two, the first and the second, Indra and Agni.
Why?
Because Indra is more interested in qualities of power, leadership, authority, which is in
line with the Lord Mars who wants to achieve the same thing.
By the way, even Sun would do good here because Sun is also a Shatriya planet.
So Shatriya planets being Mars and Sun, if you place them typically in a Shatriya type
of nakshatra, it will do well.
There is just one more hint there for you.
The second angle is 3 to 6 degrees, which will give it a strong work ethic, ability
to overcome challenges, determination, inspirational, passionate, creative.
The first two angles of the Detained chart right there on the top right corner.
Also another one I would think would do well for Anuradha is the fifth angle in a Detained
chart to help to 15 degrees, which is excellent communication skills, adaptability, ability
to connect with other.
Its quick moving, talking skills could help because Scorpio is typically very introverted,
it does not want to speak, it will sit there passive.
This is a passive nakshatra in Scorpio.
So Anuradha needs what?
Lifeless.
Always come back to the lifeless, link it up with drive and type to understand the heart
of any nakshatra, anyone of these 27.
As the root do it, you will see the commonality again and again and again.
Emerging needs bond of love to be aroused to reach the zenith point, the orgasmic point,
but we are not talking about physical intimacy here, we are talking about what?
As a being, as an embodied soul, what does Anuradha nakshatra tell us, asking us to do.
It is asking you to first find love.
That is what will change the passive nakshatra to become active.
Otherwise Anuradha is going to sit there, I don't love to do this, I don't love to
do arts, I don't love to do creativity, I don't love this, I don't love that.
Find something that you do love.
That is the challenge of Anuradha nakshatra.
And then you will know what it is you want to preserve.
The drive is sticky.
The drive wants you to preserve something.
What is it that you are looking to preserve?
Even in your career for example.
This is why Mars would do very well.
This is why you need other people, the heart of it is to find love in whatever they are
going to do in order for this passive nakshatra to become active and functional.
Next we shall be seeing the other half of Scorpio, the 18th, the Jaishtha, the elder one.
That's next.
Meanwhile, take care, be safe.
Thank you for watching.
