00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,760
Hello, Hi beautiful folks, welcome back to my podcast series of Anna.

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:14,360
Instincts and totems of nakshatras, I left it a little bit half way, says I was on a

3
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,920
higatus of holidays, at my mom's place, little break there.

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,760
But I'm back and let's continue the series of instincts and totems.

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:33,520
We are on the number nine nakshatra of us Lisha ruled by Mercury, hence the green color

6
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,520
background there.

7
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:43,160
So nakshatra itself is ruled by Mercury, although it falls in the zodiac sign of cancer, the

8
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:47,840
royal sign of cancer moon.

9
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,120
Temperament is raksha, so therefore they are very, very psychic by default, very psychic

10
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,880
nature, but it's thamizic because it wants to ground so to speak.

11
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,360
Yes.

12
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:09,600
And the one is Malaysia, another products, Maverick style of approach everywhere.

13
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:17,040
Now, just to give you a recap, when we talk of instincts, now I stuck these two additionally,

14
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,280
right, because I'm not covering the introduction, but what is instinct when it comes to very

15
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:30,520
psychic astrology, which houses dominantly dictate instinctive level of functioning.

16
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,680
Let's see that briefly.

17
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,680
Right.

18
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:39,680
The first house, the ascendant, obviously the head, self, one's personality and so on.

19
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:46,200
The fourth house, mother, heart, your emotional content, where you feel peace, the fourth

20
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:52,240
house, home, family, emotional contentment, homeland, local community, how you behave,

21
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,120
with each one of them.

22
00:01:54,120 --> 00:02:00,080
Your fifth house, fifth house associated with naval chakra, the belly, the creative

23
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,840
intelligence, the self identity, where you get your identity, where you put your fame,

24
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:12,360
fifth house is also for fame, courtship behaviors, because fifth house, the house of sun is also

25
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,920
for love and romance, learning and education, intellectual bent of mind, how you treat your

26
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:19,920
children.

27
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:23,440
You see, all these are basal instincts.

28
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:31,600
Number eight is a house of associated with root chakra, the sexual center, sense of intimate,

29
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,800
innate security.

30
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,840
Ineat security is sometimes we're born with a sense of, well, I'm insecure about this

31
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,160
and that, right.

32
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,600
So where does it come from?

33
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:52,320
12th house, associated with subconscious mind psychology, dream time, the sexual pleasures

34
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:58,760
of the bed, the hidden desires, exploration of psychic and hidden realms.

35
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,240
12th house.

36
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,680
So the moral placement can provide insights into a personal emotional instinct.

37
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,200
Remember these houses and the significations of these houses.

38
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:18,520
And if cancer is placed there, remember we're talking about a slasher which falls in cancer.

39
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,600
It's a water sign.

40
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,240
So emotional content is everything in a slasher.

41
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,840
And even the next one, no, Maga is going into Leo.

42
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:36,280
Sorry, the previous one, pusha and a slasher are dominant guidance of what instincts can

43
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,520
be found within the houses of the moon.

44
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:45,440
If any planets are deposited in a slasher, or if you are sent in a slasher or any one

45
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,320
of these houses, four, five, eight and 12.

46
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,720
So let's see what the instincts and totems mean.

47
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:02,840
The birds and animals, there is a bird symbology in every nakshatra and as well as an animal

48
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,840
symbology.

49
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,800
So there are two basic guidelines, the Vedic Astrology or Jyotisha provides us.

50
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,720
One is the bird factor, one is animal factor, like we saw in the previous ones.

51
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:22,200
So the bird for aslesha nakshatra is indigo bunting.

52
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:29,680
Next you can see it's an indigo colored head with bright plumage of yellow belly.

53
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,000
Let's see the first, the basic stuff.

54
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,120
Little indigo buntings have a bright blue plumage, which is an instinctual feature that

55
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,960
helps attract mates and establish territory.

56
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:49,080
Songbird behavior, indigo buntings are songbirds with an instinctual ability to sing melodious

57
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:54,480
songs, especially during breeding season to communicate and establish territory.

58
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,720
This is normal, we all have these instincts.

59
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,800
The reason I go through this basic instinct is you must think of this in context to the

60
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,080
nakshatra itself and the life lesson.

61
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,200
Remember the life lesson is central to the whole thing.

62
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,640
We'll come to that in a minute.

63
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:19,080
Migratory behavior, many indigo buntings have a natural instinct to migrate seasonally,

64
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,400
moving between their breeding and wintering grounds.

65
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:28,320
Territorial instinct, of course, indigo buntings exhibit territorial behavior during breeding

66
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,320
season.

67
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,000
Important to note that keyword there during the breeding season, defending their territory

68
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,040
with songs and displays.

69
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,760
Sea reading habits primarily diet consisting of seeds and insects and they often forage

70
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:49,000
for food among the shrubs and low vegetation.

71
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,720
The instinct on the animal level is like a cat and we call this in punarvasu also punarvasu

72
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,880
also has cat as animal instinct.

73
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,760
But now punarvasu was dominantly in Gemini.

74
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:04,760
This is in cancer.

75
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:11,080
So there's a differing instinct of cat that plays out with respect to zodiac.

76
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,520
Please understand this always the zodiac comes first at the instinct to a level.

77
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,840
So you have to do a sort of filtering there.

78
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:26,400
Once you filter those, then you can get better understanding of it.

79
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:35,920
So speaking of cats and now in the context of Ashlesha cancer, movable sign.

80
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,760
So the solitary instincts of cat plays out here.

81
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,880
Ashlesha people are very quiet, internal in nature because they have a cat like natural

82
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,720
instinct for solitary existence, solitary hunting.

83
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:56,240
They prefer to hunt and live alone in small, loosely knit groups.

84
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,600
Predatory behavior once again Ashlesha's behavior is very predatory in nature.

85
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,560
It is ruled by the Nagas.

86
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:09,160
So the serpent energy plays out strongly here.

87
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:14,840
Cats are natural predators with keen hunting and instinct and skills.

88
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,840
They naturally stalk, pounce and catch prey.

89
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,200
Actually cats are enemies of birds if you observe them.

90
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:27,680
Wherever birds are around chirping, they will change their tone when a cat is around because

91
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,920
they are natural enemies.

92
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:36,560
Cats exhibit instinctual drive to groom themselves, which is not only hygienic behavior, but also

93
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,160
a way to mark their territory with scent.

94
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:49,000
Animal behavior, cats have territorial instinct, all animals do, all birds do.

95
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,160
Communication through vocalization and body language, cats use instinctual vocalizations

96
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,440
like purring, meowing, hissing, etc.

97
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,240
These were the basic instincts.

98
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:08,240
Let us see what the totems would mean for the bird first.

99
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,400
Beauty and Beauty Indio buntings are known for their brilliant

100
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:19,800
blue plumage symbolizing vibrancy, beauty and celebration of life's colors.

101
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,600
See the life lesson of Ashlesha.

102
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:30,960
Live seductively without being seduced, embrace with dance, yet ready to change.

103
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,280
This is the life lesson of Ashlesha.

104
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,800
Planets points are more in Ashlesha.

105
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,720
This is your life lesson.

106
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,720
Live seductively.

107
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:39,720
That's fine.

108
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,720
There is nothing wrong with it.

109
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,000
But don't be seduced.

110
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:53,080
Freedom and Independence, their totem, the blue bunting, indigo bunting, emphasizes the

111
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:59,560
desire for personal independence and self-expression.

112
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:05,360
Expressing true self, indigo bunting's striking appearance can symbolize the importance of

113
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:13,360
being true to oneself and expressing one's unique qualities without hesitation.

114
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,440
Cancer is an introverted sign.

115
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:23,360
You need to be able to express your striking appearance, physical appearance, mental and

116
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:30,480
emotional appearance, expressing your true self, that is living seductively.

117
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:37,080
Joy and celebration, indigo buntings are often associated with joy and celebration.

118
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:43,920
Ashlesha nakshatra need to be able to celebrate their life with joy.

119
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:49,280
Their totem can encourage individuals to embrace moments of happiness, especially if moon is

120
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,920
here, to find joy in simple pleasures of life.

121
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,040
How beautiful is that?

122
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,040
Adaptability.

123
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:04,680
The worlds are migratory, demonstrating ability to changing environments, ability to change

124
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:05,680
quickly.

125
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:09,960
See there, ready to change.

126
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,160
Life lesson.

127
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,280
The cat now.

128
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,840
Independence and self-reliance, Ashlesha people need to be having more self-sufficiency and

129
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,240
self-confidence.

130
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,920
This is the way they must learn to live their life.

131
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,960
History and intuition, cats are very intuitive, very mysterious creatures.

132
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,480
They can see hidden dimensions of life.

133
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:40,320
They are a symbol of feminine energy, the divine feminine.

134
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,840
Therefore, cat must embrace that.

135
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,360
Therefore, Ashlesha must embrace that.

136
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:52,400
If dominant planets and points are in Ashlesha, take a note of this.

137
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,880
Balance and playfulness.

138
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,480
Cats can exhibit a balance between playfulness and relaxation.

139
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,920
Actually these are the two qualities that cats shuttle through.

140
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:07,920
If cat owners know this very well, they are either playful or they are very relaxed.

141
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:13,360
Relaxed attention is what Margela or the cat is known for.

142
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:19,280
Find equilibrium in life in moments of relaxation.

143
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:25,200
Now this whole thing, whatever is there on this slide, lives through centers around this

144
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:33,440
one aspect of Ashlesha, lives seductively without being seduced and raised with downs,

145
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,840
yet ready to change.

146
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:40,000
Think of serpents, think of cats, think of indigo bunting.

147
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:47,520
That's where we come from when we talk of instinctual understanding of Ashlesha nakshatra.

148
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,040
We shall step into the fiery sign of Leo with maha nakshatra.

149
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,280
Okay, meanwhile take care, be safe.

150
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:20,600
Thanks for visiting and share this with friends and family.
