1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,600
Let us define the core characteristics of the second nakshatra, Bharani.

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,600
We are examining the instinct and the totem of Bharani.

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,600
Falls in the sign of Aries.

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,600
What loosely defines a Bharani nakshatra?

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:22,100
Intense and passionate, determined and obstinate, creative and artistic, strong sense of self

6
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:27,600
and it's all about transformation and regeneration.

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:35,200
So when we examine the instinct level of things, you might have to consider the first, fourth, fifth, eight and 12th houses

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:43,200
and if those are in Bharani, these instincts and totem's meaning plays dominantly.

9
00:00:43,200 --> 00:01:05,800
Let's see the intro.

10
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,600
Before we get to the nakshatra, let us examine what the instinct houses mean in Vedic Astrology.

11
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,200
What could it be?

12
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:22,200
It's marked over there number one, house number one, house number four, house number five, house number eight and house number 12.

13
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,800
As marked there.

14
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:32,600
You should check the planets or the lords of the houses and which nakshatra they reside in to get the instinctual level of things

15
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:41,400
because we are only working with instinct and totems in this series here for every nakshatra.

16
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:56,000
So the first house of the ascendant represents the head, the self, one's personality, physical body, thinking process, intuition and logic, self identity and expression.

17
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:07,000
The fourth house is associated with the heart center, home, family, emotional contentment, homeland, local community.

18
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:18,600
It can provide information about a person's instinctual need for security, comfort and their home surroundings and relationship to all these areas of life.

19
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,600
That's house number four.

20
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,200
Look at how house number one and four become very instinctual.

21
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:25,800
Okay.

22
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:36,800
Maybe you never thought of that house number five is associated with the naval chakra, the belly button, the creative intelligence, the self expression.

23
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:48,200
As identity, your courtship behaviors in romance and such learning and intelligence and intellectual bent of mind.

24
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,600
Where does your mind go?

25
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,600
That's house number five, creative intelligence.

26
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:59,800
It also means children and therefore instinctual parenting attributes.

27
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,400
It also means past life karma.

28
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:13,000
House number eight is associated with root chakra, the sexual center, your innate sense of security.

29
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,600
What does it mean to be secure for you?

30
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,700
Are you feeling secure or insecure?

31
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:21,200
House number eight will tell the story.

32
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,600
Handling of changes of life.

33
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,100
Everybody's life has changes as they go through it.

34
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:27,700
Right.

35
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:33,800
How do you handle those changes is the attributes of the eighth life instinct.

36
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,800
It also means hidden truths.

37
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:46,000
It also dictates the type and as well as the intensity and instincts regarding your populate experiences.

38
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:46,800
What does it mean?

39
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,300
Populate experiences.

40
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:49,800
How do you deal with sex?

41
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,300
What does it mean to have sex with another person for you individually?

42
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:56,800
How do you experience it?

43
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,800
That's eighth house matter.

44
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,800
That's also like you don't even know it's all instinct based.

45
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,200
So the Lord of the eight and eight Lord of the eight nakshatra.

46
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,400
For example, if you see that that will dictate the instinct level.

47
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:19,100
House number 12 is next house number 12 is associated with subconscious mind psychology.

48
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:20,200
Your dream time.

49
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,700
What do you dream?

50
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:26,800
Your hidden desires exploration of the psychic and the hidden realms.

51
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,600
That's 12 thousand.

52
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,200
Last one, the moon placement house, where is the moon placed in your chart?

53
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:42,700
It may be placed in any one of these houses one, four, five, eight and 12 or it may be placed as the Lord of one of these in some other houses.

54
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:54,400
It doesn't matter where the moon is placed, but the moon's nakshatra is vital to consider when you talk about instinct, especially emotional instinct and reactivity of a person.

55
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,500
Okay.

56
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:58,300
Now let's get into nakshatras.

57
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:04,400
So Bernie as the second nakshatra within eighties.

58
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,700
Let's start from the top.

59
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:16,800
This position on the left top corner defines the nakshatra characteristics and these characteristics on the right side top define the zodiac characteristics.

60
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:27,400
Always consider the nakshatra energy playing out through the zodiac into the planet, whichever is sitting in the nakshatra.

61
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:40,100
Scarf helps distill out whatever is necessary, filter out the garbage, basically unnecessary stuff.

62
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:43,500
So let's begin with the instinct and everywhere.

63
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:54,300
We wouldn't try and it is from the nakshatra and the zodiac level into the life lesson to the instinct and to the two times below.

64
00:05:54,300 --> 00:06:06,000
The bottom two boxes on either side represents the totem energy and the top two white boxes beside the animal in the bird.

65
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,100
They represent the instinct and studied by biologists, zoologists.

66
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:12,700
Okay.

67
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:15,900
So first let's see the instinct.

68
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:27,700
The bharani is represented by the bird of grove on the side and the animal of elephant and also remember the symbol of bharani is the womb.

69
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:30,000
Okay.

70
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:41,100
The next nakshatra energy itself is keeping a respectable boundaries, bearing restraint and control in order to protect holding the burden with responsibility.

71
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:53,200
Just like the womb, it holds the child without letting it fall out in an underdeveloped stage because it has to hold the baby through the nine months while it develops.

72
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,800
But it is a downward energy like the womb.

73
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,500
So that's the bearing restraint, bharani needs restraint and control.

74
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:09,900
That's the life lesson and its drive is to preserve as you can see over there.

75
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:12,100
Lord is Aries.

76
00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:14,000
Within Aries it is Mars.

77
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:26,000
So if Mars is situated in bharani, it's more driven, more powerful or if Sun is also sitting in bharani, that's why Sun and Mars are exalted in Aries.

78
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,600
Right.

79
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,100
So we'll see all these aspects.

80
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:36,100
But let us begin by seeing the instinct crows.

81
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,900
Instinctual scavenging.

82
00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:41,300
Now you got to remember crow is a meat eating animal.

83
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:47,500
Crows have an instinctual drive to scavenge and opportunistically search for food sources.

84
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:50,200
Crows are very opportunistic.

85
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,500
Actually all scavengers are more so the crows.

86
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:56,000
Social behavior.

87
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:06,800
Crows are highly social birds often forming large complex family and communal groups that collaborate in in foraging and defense.

88
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,300
Like a collective like a pack energy.

89
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:13,100
Intelligence and problem solving skills.

90
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:18,500
Crows are known for their instinctual intelligence and problem solving skills.

91
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:21,200
Using tools and innovative methods to obtain food.

92
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,700
They're very clever.

93
00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:26,500
They're very good at problem solving.

94
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:32,500
Tell me if you find bharani in your chart, which is driven by any one of these instincts in the comments.

95
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:35,000
It'll be interesting to study these.

96
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:42,700
Nesting instinct crows instinctively building nest entries typically using twigs leaves and other materials.

97
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:46,900
That all birds to so we'll skip the nesting instinct as such.

98
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:57,100
Vocal communication crows have instinctual capacity for vocal communication using various calls.

99
00:08:57,100 --> 00:09:03,000
And vocalizations for social interactions warnings and coordination within their pack.

100
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,700
So crows is basically a group energy.

101
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:09,600
They love to work in groups as a pack of birds.

102
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,100
Right.

103
00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:13,000
That's what we can summarize there.

104
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,500
They love to scavenge.

105
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:21,100
What's the energy of scavenging taking remains or whatever is left over dead carcasses.

106
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:24,800
You see lying around of animals scavengers.

107
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:25,500
The cleanup.

108
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:27,800
There's a cleanup crew.

109
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,000
They're very social.

110
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,100
They're very clever and they're very vocal.

111
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:34,300
And they run in groups.

112
00:09:34,300 --> 00:09:35,500
You see what I'm saying?

113
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:40,300
How does this tie to preserving and keeping the life lesson always try to tie that.

114
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:45,200
You know, you know, in the comments, you will find something from your chart.

115
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:57,300
And remember instinct when it comes to houses as I've covered is all about the houses 1458 and 12.

116
00:09:57,300 --> 00:10:01,700
Interesting that all the moksha houses are instinctual, isn't it?

117
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:05,500
Okay, back to the animal instinct.

118
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:07,700
Elephant.

119
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:11,000
What defines an elephant energy?

120
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,400
Herbivorous diets.

121
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:23,000
Elephants are herbivores with a natural instinct to graze on a wide variety of plant matter such as grasses, leaves and barks.

122
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Social behavior and family units.

123
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,600
Again, like crows, these people, elephant guys also have a highly

124
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,600
social structure.

125
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,100
You want social structure.

126
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:42,800
Elephants are highly social animals living in family units led by a matriarch.

127
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,600
Matriarchal energy right there.

128
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,400
womb.

129
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,500
Matriarchal energy.

130
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:53,900
With strong bonds and cooperation among members.

131
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:57,700
So elephants is a matriarchal different society.

132
00:10:57,700 --> 00:11:06,600
That energy will be carried into Barani nakshatra migration and foraging instinct in search of food and water.

133
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,000
Elephants often have a seasonal migrational pattern.

134
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
You might have seen this in Discovery Channel, for example, right?

135
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:26,600
Elephants huge herds of them led by the matriarch going in search of water in the dry savanna right in Africa guided by the instinctual knowledge of environment.

136
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,000
Elephants know where the water is.

137
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,500
They love to sit in water.

138
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:37,100
As everybody knows communication through vocalizations and body language.

139
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:43,700
Elephants have an innate capacity to communicate through vocalizations and body movements.

140
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:50,300
Body movement allowing them to convey emotions, warnings and information within their groups.

141
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:56,500
All animals and birds might say to an extent have this, but there will be some characteristics which you will find through nakshatra.

142
00:11:56,500 --> 00:12:04,100
Elephants are dominated by animals that some characteristics are dominant over others.

143
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:07,700
Remarkable memory and problem solving skills.

144
00:12:07,700 --> 00:12:09,800
Do you see the commonality now?

145
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,800
Crows are clever problem solving skills.

146
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,900
Elephant has remarkable problem solving skills.

147
00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:19,100
Elephants are known for their impressive memory.

148
00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:21,900
This is very legendary elephant's memory.

149
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:26,400
They can remember a person after 40 years.

150
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:36,400
Problem solving abilities which they used to navigate the environment, find food and remember important locations.

151
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:42,700
So we need to keep this in mind when we are talking of instinctual level of bharni.

152
00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:50,000
Consider tying in both the crows and the elephant not one over the other.

153
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,700
Let me know in comments if you find some of your instincts driven by bharni.

154
00:12:54,700 --> 00:13:00,100
This will be especially strong if your ascended is bharni or moon is in bharni.

155
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:11,700
For example, considering Vedic astrology or even if it is the Lord of the first fourth fifth, eight or twelve thousand.

156
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:17,300
And as spoken this is the introduction you can rewind and see that.

157
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:22,600
Now let's head towards totems and what they represent.

158
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:30,800
When we speak of totems, it's a more refined kind of esoteric psychic occult kind of meanings.

159
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,400
The occult meanings of these animal symbols and how it ties into the nakshetra.

160
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,300
Let's try to derive that.

161
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:44,800
Crows in totem symbology, crows have intelligence and wisdom.

162
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:50,400
Crows are often associated with intelligence and cleverness.

163
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,200
They are known for their problem solving skills and adaptability.

164
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:59,200
Symbolizing the importance of using one's intelligence to navigate life's challenges,

165
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,100
somewhat similar to their intelligence.

166
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:06,500
When problem solving here as well as the elephant.

167
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:10,200
Keep tying in all these dots together.

168
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,700
Boldness and fearlessness.

169
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:20,300
Crows are fearless birds and their totem meaning can inspire individuals to confront their fears.

170
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:25,200
Take bold actions and face adversity with courage.

171
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:32,700
So courage with intelligence is one more thing that's showing up as a talent of burning.

172
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:35,100
Resourcefulness.

173
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:39,000
Crows are opportunistic and resourceful creatures.

174
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:50,200
So the totem meaning highlights the ability to make most of available resources and adapt to different situations of life.

175
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,100
Magic and occult.

176
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:58,800
In some belief systems, crows are associated with magic occult, the mystical.

177
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:04,700
The death, the other side of death, crosses a scavenger and just running with it.

178
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:12,500
They are considered as intermediaries between physical and spiritual realms.

179
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:18,900
Death and rebirth in some cultures crows are associated with death and afterlife.

180
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:25,300
The totem meaning can symbolize a cyclical nature of life, death and rebirth.

181
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:36,900
In the Hindu tradition, for example, to give food to our ancestors, typically after one of our lord once has died on their death anniversary,

182
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:45,200
they give balls of cooked rice and feed the crows because crows are considered as a vehicle to the other side of life.

183
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,400
Just so you know.

184
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,600
Hindus know this very well.

185
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:57,500
Now let's talk about elephants and the totem symbol and meaning of elephants.

186
00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:03,300
Elephants are often associated with immense physical strength.

187
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:07,000
Physical strength, elephant is a very powerful animal.

188
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:15,300
Symbolizing the importance of inner strength and resilience in the face of challenges.

189
00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:21,600
Family and community because it is made to be occult, it is driven by a family unit.

190
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:27,100
Elephants don't typically roam around alone unless it's a rebel.

191
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:35,700
Family and community. Elephants are known for the strong familial bonds and social connections.

192
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:42,600
That totem represents the value of family unit, unity and community support.

193
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:49,800
They do things together. Somewhat similar to you might say crows as well in the bird world.

194
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:55,500
Longevity and endurance. Elephants are wrong-lived animals.

195
00:16:55,500 --> 00:17:03,600
Symbolizing the quality of endurance and longevity. See how that ties in into bearing restraint in the life lesson.

196
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:11,000
Bearing restraint in order to protect and hold the burden of bringing something new into the world.

197
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,900
The drive of this nakshatra, suddenly jumping towards nakshatra's city preservers,

198
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:20,800
I've covered this in the heart of nakshatas. If you want to revisit that.

199
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:27,100
This level of instinct is sort of a graduation of heart of nakshatra itself.

200
00:17:27,100 --> 00:17:29,800
You might say.

201
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:36,200
Protection and guidance. Elephants are often seen as protectors and guides.

202
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:45,800
Their totem offers a sense of security and assisting in navigating life's challenges.

203
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:53,100
So when the Lord of the first or your ascended or your fourth house, fifth house,

204
00:17:53,100 --> 00:18:00,300
eight thousand, twelve thousand are dominantly sitting in bharani, one or more planet, for example,

205
00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:11,100
or moon, for example, in one of these houses, for example. Or if there are more number of planets and points,

206
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:18,500
especially which are driven towards your intellect, emotion, moon, mercury, your sense of drive,

207
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:28,900
Mars or sun, if they're sitting in bharani, it would signify a great deal of these prominence of instincts in you.

208
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:40,000
I'm bringing all this series specifically so that we get an idea of how or what might play in the instinctual level in your chart.

209
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,600
We need to know that unless we know what instinct level we are going from.

210
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:55,400
So it's ties in loosely to the Freudian psychology of id, id, ego, all that stuff defined by a segment Freud.

211
00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:02,600
We are talking about the id level of things when it comes to nakshatra, I feel, because it's the core of the id itself.

212
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,700
What is really driving you?

213
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:15,700
Nakshatra is a drive and everything that drives trying to accomplish in the external as well as the internal world of human being.

214
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:19,300
Next, we shall study krtika nakshatra.

215
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:22,000
In the meantime, thanks for watching.

216
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,300
Never come in sticky and be awesome.
