Good morning dear listener, welcome to my channel.
Today let us discuss the second nakshatra, Bharani,
symbolized by the womb. We have discussed this
immensely in the previous podcast, if you want
to go through it. Now we are talking about the
nakshatrapadas and the mystery of the nakshatrapadas
and how they work in individual charts. Yes?
last in the series deep dive into every Pada
of every nakshatra. So we are in the second one.
This one is a Venus nakshatra as you can see
on the screen there and it falls within the sign
of areas. This is the first one of the Venus
nakshatras, the other two being Purva Phalguni
and Purva Ashada. There are three of each type.
I have covered this before. So what happens in
Bharani in four Padaas? Now Bharani, from Natal
to Navamsa, as you can see in the chart there,
it goes from Aries to Leo, first Pada, Aries
to Virgo in the second Pada, Aries to Libra in
the third Pada, Aries to Scorpio in the fourth
Pada. Shortly we'll analyze with podcast how
this works out. But let us take a look at Bharani
itself. Since it's a Venus rule nakshatra, all
Venus rule nakshatras have a theme, something
to do with relationships, something to do with
wealth, and something to do with a kind of a
sense of intimacy. Because it's Venus, so everything
is driven by Venus. And this is the first one.
So the first of every kind of nakshatra. has
a sort of a raw power about it. In Bharani, it's
the raw power of passion and sexuality. Think
in terms of Venus and Mars combined, okay? So
wherever the house cusp or planets fall in Bharani
nakshatra, this person is completely dependent
on someone else. Just like a child lays within
the womb, it is completely dependent on the mother.
Also, Bharani symbolized by the womb will have
to exercise and learn patience in their life.
So those planets which fall in Bharani have to
learn patience through life which is difficult
considering it's still sitting in Aries. You
might say in a way Bharani is the passion form
of Aries. The initiator energy of Aries is in
Ashwini, the first one which we did. These people
also do not meet people easily. This is another
quality of the Venus nakshatra. They are very
choosy people. They are very picky people. Remember
Venus is refinement like I have covered before.
If moon is food, Venus is the refinement of food
like fine dining, luxury items, jewelry, fine
clothes. Everything fine and refined is Venus.
How does it manifest when it comes to people?
They do not like to meet people easily. They
are very picky and selective about meeting people,
especially even about partners, if you are talking
about the seventh house. Okay? And they tend
to accumulate a lot of stuff. If you have planets
in Bharani, in the natal chart, you might tend
to accumulate the significations of the planet,
for example. If Mercury is sitting, you might
tend to accumulate a lot of friends, accumulate
a lot of books. You might be a book person. Mercury
stands for books. Intellectual knowledge. If
you have Saturn in Barani, you might try to accumulate
a lot of old things. Relating to Venus perhaps,
old pieces of jewellery perhaps. Yes? And so
on so forth. There's an accumulation feature
of Barani which goes around. And Barani, typically
their life lesson you must keep into consideration
when we are talking about Barani. There is a
life lesson. I have covered this before also
in detail. Keeping respectable boundaries, bearing
restraint and control in order to protect, holding
the burden with responsibility in order to deliver.
That's the key life lesson. You got to remember
that every planet, whatever is falling in any
nakshatra in your natal Navamsa is showing you,
you can call it karmic pattern, the residual
memory from past life or you can even call it
your soul direction. Both are the same. What
you have come here to experience, accomplish
and so on. That's what we are uncovering here,
essentially speaking. Again, the basic rule always
remember the Lord of the house. For Bharani,
it's Mars, right? It is still sitting within
Aries. So find out the condition of Mars if Bharani
has got, let's say Venus and Moon in it, in your
chart, in the natal chart. What is the condition
of Mars in your natal chart? Is it good? Is it
sitting in water sign? Then it will be debilitated.
If it is sitting in fire signs, it will be very
good. It will be very exemplified good in the
sense it will show very dominantly, prominently
and so on. If it's in air science, it might be
very mental in nature. So have an examination
of the Lord of the house, the dispositor. If
Moon and Venus are in Bharani, where is Mars
sitting? That should be your first thinking.
Yes? And this and other principles I have covered
in the basic Vedic Astrology course which is
on the membership area if you want to listen.
and join in and learn from the, I don't know,
300 -odd podcasts over there. So let's get into
the four Padas of Bharani and see how these play
out now. Bharani Nakshatra spans from 13 Dhrish
20 to 2060 -40 Aries, ruled by Venus and symbolized
by the Wum or Yoni, the power of containment,
endurance, and eventual transformation. It's
associated with Yama, the god of death and discipline,
which gives Bharani its intense polarity, desire
versus restraint, indulgence versus consequence,
accumulation versus renunciation. But as with
every nakshatra, Its true story changes every
3D20 through the Padas, each anchored in a different
Navamsa sign. When a planet is placed in a specific
Barani Pada, the house it occupies in the natal
chart, and the sign it occupies in the Navamsa,
tell us everything about what the person is trying
to achieve and what karma they are working through.
Let's decode Barani's four Padas through planetary
placements, each revealing a unique karmic blueprint.
Bharani Pada 1, 13320 to 16340 House Aries. Navamsa
sign, Leo Fire, Dharma Pada. Example, Venus in
Bharani Pada 1. Outer behavior. Strong drive
to initiate love, beauty, and wealth -related
projects, but with ego. Inner drive. Venus in
Leo. Navamsa is royal, theatrical, and status
-conscious in relationships and wealth. Natal
house focus, e .g. 10th house. Pursues status
-driven career choices with glamorous appeal.
Ignores true passion if it doesn't offer recognition.
Karmic expression. Chooses career or marriage
for status, not soul alignment. Takes risky loans
or shortcuts for fast wealth. Correction path.
Align work and love with genuine heart values,
not just outward validation. Mars in Barani Patatu.
Outer behavior. Strong -willed, takes control
of duties, but can misuse power in workplace.
Inner drive. Virgo Navamsa demands perfection,
service, and control, but Mars struggles here.
Natal house focus, e .g. sixth house. Aggressive
at work. Takes over responsibilities, but criticizes
others. May dominate coworkers or create toxic
service environments. Karmic expression. harms
others unintentionally through pride and harshness
in daily duties, neglects own spiritual or emotional
well -being while overworking. Correction path.
Serve without ego, take responsibility without
superiority, and offer help with humility. Outer
behavior, dutiful in relationships and business,
but expects too much from others. Inner drive,
seeks balance, validation, and refinement, but
often through over control. Natal house focus,
e .g. seventh house, committed partner, but emotionally
unavailable or over demanding, can set harsh
terms in business dealings or marriage. Karmic
expression, focus on material order over emotional
warmth in relationships, can oppress those working
under them. Libra's diplomacy plus Saturn's authority.
Correction path. Learn to treat others as equals,
especially spouses or employees. Detach from
rigid expectations. Bring kindness into discipline.
Bharani Pada 4, 23 -20 to 26 -3 -40 Aries. Navamsa
sign, Scorpio water. Moksha Pada. Example, moon
in Bharani Pada 4. Outer behavior, emotionally
charged, secretive magnetic presence. Inner drive.
Scorpio, Navamsa creates deep emotional turbulence
and desire for control. Natal house focus, e
.g. fourth house. Intense emotional attachment
to home, mother or land. Power struggles at home
or with family may suppress maternal emotions.
Karmic expression. May suffer betrayals or emotional
loss due to possessiveness or neglect. May experience
infidelity in marriage or conflict between work
and home. Correction path. Let go of control.
Use emotions for healing, not manipulation. Channel
pain into transformative caregiving for others.
Summary, Barani's four Padas at a glance. Pada
one, Eriishi, Leo Navamsa. Desire to shine and
be admired. Challenge, self -image tied to external
achievements. Soul lesson, act from the heart,
not the spotlight. Pada two, Eri. To control
work and outcomes. Challenge critical, micromanaging
nature. Soul lesson, serve with humility, not
superiority. Pata three, desire. Balance and
recognition and partnerships. Challenge, emotional
detachment or dominance. Soul lesson, create
relationships built on equity and kindness. Pata
four, Aries, Scorpio, desire. Emotional power
and depth. Challenge manipulation, betrayal,
secrecy. Heal others through emotional surrender
and truth. Closing thought. Barani's real power
is what you carry and release. Every Pada of
Barani is about holding something, a person,
an expectation, a wound, or a gift. But Yama
reminds us that everything that is held must
one day be surrendered. Do you hold status, Leo,
perfection, Virgo, fairness, Libra, or pain,
Scorpio? Your chart tells you why you hold it,
and your Navamsa reveals how you'll let it go.
In the next segment, we explore Kritika Nakshatra,
where the fire of truth demands purification
at any cost. Stay tuned. Mars, and Refined Responsibility,
Venus. Its ruler, Yama, symbolizes restraint
and karmic accountability. But its full depth
only emerges when we study each of its four Padas,
each carrying the soul into a different Navamsa
sign, changing the tone of expression, the style
of karma, and the planet's internal goal. Let's
explore each Pada through planetary examples.
We'll look at what the planet wants to express
in the natal chart. Outer life. What it internally
seeks through Navamsa. Soul level. What karma
it's enacting and where growth lies. Bharani
Pada 1, 13 -20, 16 -4 Aries. Navamsa sign. Leo.
Example. Jupiter in Bharani Pada 1. Outer behavior.
Bold ethical preacher. Wants to be seen as wise
and respected. Inner drive. In Leo Navamsa, Jupiter
seeks status through knowledge. Deep need to
lead with vision. Natal house impact, e .g. ninth
house, may become a moral authority or advisor
in religious, academic, or legal fields, focuses
on legacy, children, or disciples, but ego can
cloud clarity. Karmic expression, feels entitled
to respect, may ignore the deeper Dharma in favor
of recognition, misuses wisdom to dominate or
control others' beliefs. Correction path, humility
and wisdom, use knowledge to liberate others,
not to elevate self -image. Barani Pada II, 16
re, fa, 20 degrees zero zero Aries. Navamsa sign,
Virga Artha. Example, son in Barani Pada II,
outer behavior. Authority -driven, task -oriented,
perfectionist in leadership. Inner drive. In
Virgo Navamsa, son becomes a duty -bound performer,
wants to shine through service and technical
precision. Natal house impact, e .g. sixth house,
may take up leadership in health, legal, or service
sectors. tends to micromanage and control routines
obsessively. Karmic expression, pride in being
a savior, but struggles with control and delegation,
may oppress others in the name of efficiency
or rightness. Correction path, be the servant
leader, not just the boss, empower others rather
than prove superiority through overwork. Example,
Mercury in Barney Potter 3, Outer Behavior, witty
diplomatic communicator, business -oriented,
inner drive, Libra Navamsa. Mercury seeks validation
and harmony through ideas, craves balanced exchanges,
persuasive speech. Natal house impact, e .g.
third house, skilled in negotiation, PR, digital
media, or law. Uses charm and strategy for gains,
but may avoid uncomfortable truths. Karmic expression.
could use intellect and persuasion to manipulate
instead of uplift. Difficulty handling conflict
chooses harmony over honesty. Correction path.
Practice transparent communication. Use speech
and writing as tools for justice and upliftment,
not flattery or escape. Barani Padafor, 23°20,
26°40 Aries. Navamsha signs Scorpio. Example,
Venus in Barani Padafor. Outer behavior. Intense
sensuality, hidden relationships, emotional complexity,
and love and desire. Inner drive. In Scorpio
Navamsa, Venus is passionate but guarded, desires
emotional depth and secretive intimacy. Natal
house impact, e .g. eighth house. Drawn to taboo
relationships, inheritance, the occult, or power
through sexuality. Love is intense, all -consuming,
and tied to karmic debts or betrayals. Karmic
expression. Uses beauty or love to control, seduce,
or punish. Suffers through emotional entanglements
and trust issues. Correction path. Transform
relationships into sacred emotional exchanges.
Surrender control and allow love to purify, not
possess. Summary, Barani's four Padaas through
planetary expression. Pada one, Leo Navamsa.
Seeks, glory, recognition, noble legacy. Karmic
risk, egotism, superficiality, and virtue. Lesson.
Act with heart, not just for the spotlight. Pada
2, Virgo Navamsa. Control through service, organize
power. Karmic risk, perfectionism, emotional
coldness. Lesson, lead with responsibility, not
rigidity. Pada 3, Libra Harmony. Business success,
intellectual romance. Karmic risk, avoids conflict,
masks truth. Lesson, speak the truth, even if
it breaks the balance. Pada four, Scorpio Navamsa.
Emotional power, transformation through intimacy,
karmic risk, control, obsession, betrayal, lesson,
purify desire, embrace emotional transparency.
Closing thought, the container must learn when
to release. Barani's essence is containment,
but the soul is not meant to hold forever. Each
planet placed here is carrying something karmic,
and through the Navamsa, it reveals how it will
release that karma. Is your Venus loving to possess?
Is your Sun leading to dominate? Is your Mercury
negotiating to win? If yes, pause. Every Pada
of Barani teaches what you hold out of greed,
fear, or pride will eventually be taken or transformed.
Coming up next, Kritika Nakshatra, where containment
ends and purification begins through the blade
of truth.
