Good morning, beautiful people, welcome to my channel. Today we'll be talking about
the nakshatras, the great nakshatras. What does nakshatra mean? It's a constellation
of stars, that's it in its simplicity, minus all the fluff and all the mythology. It's
a constellation of stars. So the inner belt taking you to the spy chart over here, the
inner belt that you see here is the 12 zodiac signs starting from number one, it is which
is ruled by Mars and going all the way up till Pisces which is number 12, that's the
inner zodiac, this is the inner circle, inner circle and the outer one which I'm pointing
to now, they are the 27 constellations, they are the nakshatras, the ones which are marked
in brown, blue and yellow, you see all those combinations with some animals marked on it,
okay? And since this is a very vast, deep topic, we keep getting it into more and more
and more details as we go along. So what are the nakshatras? And before we go any further,
if you're new to my channel, you can subscribe, you can share this video with others who are
budding astrologers who are wanting to learn something basic, these are all basics, depth,
of course you can go to any depth you want. And if you're listening on a podcast, please
subscribe to my YouTube channel and then follow this link because we are going deep
dive into Healer's Astrology series now, back to nakshatras. The first thing you have to
know, there are three groups of nine each, total of 27 nakshatra, nine three times and
those are marked over here like a Mercedes Benz sign, you can see this wheel, the pie
and we are talking about this half, the first cycle, the second cycle and the third cycle
is the three groups of nine. Why I have classified into three particular divisions like this
is because if you can see the each nakshatra is ruled by a lord which is mentioned over
there as I'm pointing to, by Kashvini nakshatra, the first one ruled by Ketu, Bharani by the
second one ruled by Venus, Kritika, the third one ruled by Sun, and so on and so forth,
it goes Rohini by moon and so on and so forth and it ends at Mercury, the first cycle ends
at Mercury. Why? After this, it just becomes a repetition if you observe, after this first
cycle ends, it again begins with Ketu, the south lord of the moon, then goes to Venus,
then goes to Sun in the same kind of order, just follow all this order, we are trying
to uncover a puzzle over here. So as we go from Ketu all the way to all the nine planets
up till Mercury, it continues the same way from Ketu back to Mercury in Jaishtha, then
it again starts from Mola which is again Ketu and goes all the way back to Mercury and ends
in Pisces. That's why this arrangement, that's why I have made it in this form and fashion.
So back to point number one, three groups of nakshatras of nine each. Now nakshatra is
a constellation of stars and so is the zodiac. So first point to note is what is the difference?
The Aries belt, let's take number one sign. The Aries belt is a constellation of stars
which looks like a ram in the sky, right? The shape of the Aries bunch of stars looks
like a ram. That's why the symbol of a ram. So the Aries, within Aries constellation,
there are two more sub constellations. That's what it is. These nakshatras or constellations
are all about in my gastronomy. The Ashwini nakshatra, Bharani and three degrees, twenty
minutes of Krithika all fall under the zodiac belt of Aries. So if you take Aries or like
that, there is Ashwini stars here, there is Bharani stars here and apart the beginning
of Krithika over here. Think of it like that. So each nakshatra is thirteen degrees, twenty
minutes each. Now if you remember each zodiac, Aries zodiac for example, the twelve signs
are thirty degrees each. Equal, equal by split so to speak, equal divisions, right? So thirty
degrees each and into twelve makes it three hundred and sixty degrees. That completes
the circle. That's the zodiac sign. When you come to nakshatra, it's not so much.
That's why you can see nakshatra's one going into another. Krithika is a little bit, the
first half is still in Aries. The next three are in Taurus. So it goes on like this. Nakshatra
has not got a firm division. It's just like a blending between all these zodiac signs.
It's a blend. So that being said, it is thirteen degrees, twenty minutes each. So Ashwini nakshatra,
like follow the chat where I'm pointing to, the Ashwini nakshatra, the blue one, the first
one ruled by Ketu and symbolized by a male horse is totally thirteen degrees, twenty
minutes long, right? And the next one is thirteen degrees, twenty minutes long. And this last
one to complete the thirty degrees of the Aries will be three degrees, twenty minutes. So
that's the way it goes. And each nakshatra within them have got something called as pada.
Pada means a foot. The four steps. It's got each step along the way. So each nakshatra
has got a pada in it. That means a step. You can see this tiny divisions which I have not
zoomed in yet. We'll get to all this later on. So these are the four tiny divisions that
you can see as I'm pointing to. Each nakshatra has these four tiny divisions. Do you follow?
I'm pointing there to the subdivisions within nakshatra. That's how it goes. And it goes
in three cycles as you can see all the way from Ketu. I have marked the symbols for ease
of following. Ketu is the south node of the moon, then comes Venus, then comes Sun, Moon,
Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury. It ends at Mercury. That's the first cycle. Second
cycle restarts from the beginning. Again starts by Ketu, Venus and so on. So you've got three
full cycles. You got that. Now, what are the rules here to understand as the basic? The
ascendant, wherever your ascendant angle is pointing to in your chart and the moon are
predominant in this nakshatra understanding from a scope of personality understanding.
How do you understand a person's nature? How do you understand their drives? Their health
issues because this is Healer's astrology. How do you understand that? You take the ascendant
and the moon. Which nakshatra is the ascendant in and which nakshatra the moon is in? This
is the basic personality. It'll give you the overall thing. The higher angle, this is what
most astrologists use, the higher angle whichever is in that dominates, kind of predominance
is there. For example, if ascendant is at 2 degrees of swati and moon is at 25 degrees
of hasta nakshatra, for example. So, hasta nakshatra, the moon will have more predominance
on the person's nature than the ascendant. If ascendant is just 25 degrees and moon is
at 4 degrees, ascendant will be the driving force. That's the way you evaluate.
Next one, other planets in nakshatras and house placement zodiac, all those things govern.
Saturn is maybe in some other nakshatra. Eventually, all these nine planets including Uranus, Neptune
and Proto, which probably I'll get to at some point, they will fall under one or the other
of this 27 nakshatras. So, that's the way we go on evaluating what it provides, where
it provides. And remember the previous six parts or seven parts which we already covered
about the zodiac itself has energy. The back rising, the head rising, then there is the
male and female of the charts, that is sattva rajasthamas, all of these things which we
have covered before. Now we are going into the deeper aspects. We are kind of zooming
in on the zodiac. This is the zoom in, you see I'm pointing to the Aries over there and
that has the zoomed in version of two more constellations. Same way, Taurus has got two
and a half more constellations there. There is Krithika, there is Rohini and there is
Murgshira. So, we are zooming in to get the finer aspects of that personality. Zodiac
will still rule, so will the nakshatra and how this plays out for every planet, house
placement, whether it's in first house, second house, it determines the profession, determines
the career, determines the health issues, the propensities, the nature and so on and
so forth. It tells everything about the human being as a personality. So, this is what you
are going to understand first. We will get to the Dev Gana Manasagana Raksit Vahal next
one, one baby step at a time here. So, that's it for me. If you are new to the channel, please
