Now let us address the sign of Ashleesha nakshatra,
the ninth one, which finishes up cancer. So this
is the last nakshatra in cancer sign. Once again,
cancer means it has something to do with masses,
something to do with food, something to do with
water, or any planet or point which is in Ashleesha
nakshatra in your chart. In your natal chart,
any planet falling in cancer, in general, you
got to take care of your food, of your water,
of how you have an attitude or intention inside
you when you're consuming food and water. Okay?
Aslesha nakshatra, just to recap, is a protection
and defense mechanism. Okay? It is ruled by the
naga, so it is very protective, highly intuitive,
can become clingy. highly energetically sensitive,
highly attuned intuitively. Some queer characteristics
of this might be within Ashlesha nakshatra, this
nakshatra is responsible to protect the knowledge
relating to that sign and house. If it's Ketu
in the sixth house in Ashlesha or if it's in
eighth house with Ketu in it or Ketu aspecting
it, it might become knowledge relating to sacred
arts relating to mystical and occult knowledge
relating to esoteric knowledge from past lives
that kind of a thing especially if Ketu is in
the fifth house in Ashlesha for example so protect
the knowledge relating to that sign and house
see the planets and apply the significations
if any planet comes here then native will be
very easily sense any kind of trouble. Intuition
is very high. Like I said, if especially Ketu
is here in Ashlesha, or even Mercury is here,
it becomes highly intuitive. They can sense what
trouble is coming their way, what is going to
happen. Sort of a deja vu kind of approach. Another
funny thing here is that they have tendency to
have least sexual inclination as they are very
picky about their partner. They can come across
as very cold but this is simply because they
are trying to protect themselves. It's a very
protective type energy. So they see more as love
making as an art rather than of just pure lust.
That is Ashlesha for you. Now let us see the
Padas. First Pada is cancer going into Sagittarius.
So there is a 6 -8 relationship. Sagittarius
is 6 to cancer. Cancer is 8 to Sagittarius. So
Sagittarius going in the Navamsa, remember Navamsa
I spoke of as internal self, natal as how you
bring it to physical reality, right? We told
that in the introduction. So Sagittarius meaning
what? Meaning moral ethical compass, meaning
father, authority, boss. So because it's a 6
-8 relationship, they might have enmity with
the boss because they do not give them enough
respect. There is a fight between authority figures
because they feel they are more deserving. Kind
of a moral dilemma being going from cancer. Everything
has to do with your heart. Their fights are very
silent rebellion type because Sagittarius is
a muted sign. One of the remedies could be go
plant fruit trees in a temple complex I see Hindus
not doing this enough going and planting fruit
trees good fruit trees like bananas for example
go and plant them in a temple complex lots of
fruit trees this will get sort of milder if you
do that many of the remedies at least in my view
have to do with more action what you have to
take with respect to collective and with respect
to nature Those are the best cures in astrology.
Second Pada, going cancer to Capricorn. Now these
are opposite signs. Capricorn being slowing things
down. Any planet going into Capricorn Navamsa
will slow things down. Improvement with time.
And slows things down. So there is an inaction
in extremity. Capricorn slows the reaction time.
They remain calm and do not take any action.
Do not take timely action. Something that needs
to be done today, they keep postponing it to
tomorrow. That's why they miss the greatest opportunities
in life as they are unable to prioritize what
to do now, what to do later. This attitude needs
a correction. Everything in cancer needs an attitude
correction, by the way. The remedy is to take
care of dependent people. Seventh house. Right?
Yeah, take care of your spouse. Seventh relationship.
Cancer to Capricorn. Nettle to Navamsa. Maintain
a balance between donation and taking care of
one's own family. Don't go around giving everything
to the masses. Cancer. Reserve something for
your family, for your spouse. Maintain a balance.
Do not give away everything and lose everything
in life. That's the... Second Pada. The third
Pada. Cancel to Aquarius. There is a 6 -8 relationship.
Aquarius is 8 to cancer. Cancer is 6th to Aquarius.
Asking for favors and wealth. Aquarius. Aquarius
in Namamsa wants to cheat and acquire wealth,
gain prosperity, fame at any cost. That's your
internal self. Aquarius in Namamsa. So they will
ask for favors and wealth even when they do not
need it. We'll make friends only when they have
capability to provide them with unearned wealth.
Eighth position from cancer is Aquarius. Eighth
position is unearned wealth. Wealth of your in
-laws, you might say, because it's the family's
money of your spouse, which they never return.
Their expectation is that planet will provide
wealth which they have not earned. Get rid of
these habits. Most of Karma is your habits which
you are bringing on. Do not take unearned wealth
of the planets or the house which is here for
free as they are only using them for personal
luxury. Like Rahu. Think Rahu here. Rahu here
will be an extreme position by the way. Last
fourth Pada. going from cancer to Pisces. This
is a finite relationship. Okay? Pisces is 9th
to cancer, cancer is 5th to Pisces. So how does
this last bada play out? In a position to deal
with public masses, cancer is 5th to Pisces and
will have power there as well. There is a free
will factor to this to control actions. You can
get cruel with people who cannot raise their
voice. Try to control this. Don't exploit that.
Don't play with the religion of the masses. Why
are we talking religion here? Spirituality of
the masses, cancer and spices. Okay? 9 and 5
position. You're trying to educate the masses
about something. Especially those who come on
podcasts and talk this and that about Jyotish
or astrology. Be very careful. You're accumulating
karma. That you might not be able to find it
very useful or very attractive the next time
around. Try to protect the people. Try to protect
the masses. Give knowledge of spirituality which
has got some sound grounding. Refrain from any
heavy karma of misleading the masses. Spiritual
mislead of masses. Pisces is ninth dharma. Ninth
to cancer. Cancer is in fifth position, educating
the masses. Okay? Try to take care of this. That
is Ashleisha for you. Now let us go in more detail
and see how different planets and points play
out here. If you're finding something in this
Pada, and after going through this podcast, something
useful, something which you found, sort of an
epiphany moment, leave it in your comments, and
enjoy and share this podcast. Thank you. Podcast
segment title, The Four Padas of Ashlesha Nakshatra.
Subtitle, Planetary Principles and the Inner
Outer Karma Blueprint of Seduction, Subtlety,
and Karmic Manipulation. Introduction, Ashlesha,
the Serpent's Embrace and the Poison of Power.
Ashlesha Nakshatra spans from 16 to 40 to 30
to 0 to 0 Cancer, ruled by Mercury and symbolized
by the Entwining Serpent. Often misunderstood,
Ashlesha is a nakshatra of immense psychic sensitivity,
hypnotic emotional intelligence, and karmic depth.
Its embrace can heal or suffocate. It holds the
knowledge of toxins, literal and metaphorical,
and with it, the responsibility of when and how
to use them. While cancer as a sign is nurturing
and emotional, Ashlesha infuses it with cunning,
secrecy, and strategic perception. This is not
the mother who nurtures openly. but the one who
silently controls, protects, or punishes through
emotional leverage. Its deity, the Nagas, serpent
beings, represent ancient wisdom, instinctual
defense, and karmic binding. This is the knot
in the emotional matrix where one must confront
power dynamics, repressed fears, and inherited
control patterns. Each of Ashlesha's four Padas
introduces a unique karmic lens through a different
Navamsa, shifting the way this powerful serpent
energy operates from fire, to earth, to air.
to water. Let's unravel the pattern of each Pada
before we examine planetary examples. inwardly
ideological, proud, and self -righteous. Sagittarius
Navamsa. This is the snake that bites when its
truth is not acknowledged. These natives often
experience silent workplace rebellion or internal
conflict with authority, especially father figures
or bosses who are perceived as hypocritical or
undeserving. They may feel morally superior,
yet act passive aggressively rather than directly.
Karmic theme, disrespect toward elders, righteousness
without humility. Growth path, honor rightful
authority, plant karma through service, not judgment.
Ashlesha Pada 2, 20 Dixie Wild to 23 Dree 20
cancer. Navamsha sign, Capricorn Arthapada, elemental
shift, water to earth. Motivation, Artha, to
maintain power by controlling resources and outcomes.
Inner outer karma blueprint, outwardly emotionally
intelligent and strategic cancer rashie. Inwardly
cautious, structured and slow to act. This is
the cold strategist in the guise of emotional
warmth. Natives here often delay important decisions,
failing to prioritize what truly matters until
it's too late. Though they feel deeply, they
act with reservation, often missing transformative
opportunities. Overgiving is another pitfall,
where the imbalance between charity and family
duty causes emotional depletion. Karmic theme,
paralysis in action, karmic imbalance in giving.
Take responsibility without hesitation. Balance
duty and generosity mindfully. This is the networker
snake, bonding only when there's something to
gain. Natives often form relationships based
on future favors or access to unearned resources.
They may expect others to fulfill desires without
offering reciprocal effort. Emotional manipulation
is masked under friendliness. Karmic theme, taking
without returning, emotional debt, social exploitation.
Growth path, build authentic friendships, give
without expectation or control. Ashlesha powder
for 2640 to 30 degrees zero mode cancer. Navamsha
sign, Pisces, elemental shift, water to water.
Motivation, maksha, to dissolve power through
emotional sacrifice or misuse. Inner outer karma
blueprint, outwardly emotionally powerful and
mother -like cancer rashi. Inwardly dreamy, mystical,
and karmically entangled, Pisces Navamsha. This
is the mystic snake wielding emotional magnetism
in the public eye. Natives can hold immense influence
over the masses, particularly through religion,
family roles, or emotional leadership. However,
the karmic trap lies in exploiting this influence,
especially when playing with people's faith,
children's futures, or public trust. Karmic theme,
emotional cruelty masked as compassion, abuse
of public trust, growth path, lead with truth.
Protect the innocent without exploiting their
vulnerability. Ashlesha Pada Summary, The Four
Faces of the Serpent. Pada 1 Sagittarius seeks
moral dominance and validation. Trap, disrespectful
rebellion and silent arrogance. Growth, humble
realignment with purpose driven service. Pada
2 Capricorn seeks control through withholding
and caution. Trap, over analysis, delay and burnout
from over giving. Growth, act timely and anchor
nourishment and practical balance. Patathreus
seeks strategic alliances and fulfilled desires.
Trap, friendships of convenience, selfish expectation,
growth, develop genuine bonds that are emotionally
mutual. Pataphor, Pisces seeks emotional liberation
through influence, trap exploiting emotions,
children, or faith for ego. Growth, practice
true emotional leadership without control. Closing
thought, Ashlesha's power is not in the bite,
but in the intention behind it. Planets in Ashlesha
Nakshatra teach us the power of subtle emotional
manipulation, how we hold others with our energy,
and whether that embrace is healing or suffocating.
The serpent's wisdom is ancient, but must be
wielded with deep integrity. Otherwise, what
begins as care becomes karmic entrapment. Next
in the series, Maga Nakshatra, where ancestral
legacy meets personal pride and the throne must
be earned, not inherited. Ashlesha Nakshatra

evolution lies in how you embrace and why. In
Ashlesha, the karmic snake calls around emotion,
power, and influence. The planets placed here
reveal how we wrap around others, whether we
offer shelter, control, or quiet sabotage. Each
pada unfolds a different spiritual test. Will
we manipulate or uplift? Will we hold on or release?
Will we poison or purify? This is not a nakshatra
to take lightly, but when embraced with clarity
and courage, Ashlesha offers the power to break
karmic knots and become a true emotional alchemist.
