1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Shridhara Shree Karashreeya Shreeman Lopatraya Shrayaha 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000 These are the four lines from Vishnu Sahasranama which says, 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:18,000 He who carries Goddess Lakshmi on his chest, He who gives all wealth to His devotees, 4 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000 He who is the personification of Perennial happiness, He who is a gentleman. 5 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:33,000 Why did I pick these four lines? Because we are talking about Murikshira, Nakshatra, Murikshir Shah. 6 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:40,000 The head of a deer. These are the gentle, gentle Nakshatra, as we shall say. 7 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000 Now we come to the fifth Nakshatra in the Nakshatra series. 8 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,000 If you have been observant, you will find the progression of series with Aries in Ashwini. 9 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,000 We started with the initiator, then we went to Bharani who is the control, 10 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000 who has a life lesson of control and restraint. 11 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000 Then we went on to Krithika who has fiery transformation. 12 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000 And now Rohini which was all grounded and materialistic. 13 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000 And fifth one is Murikshira. Now we are searching for something. 14 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000 Murikshira is represented by the head of a deer. 15 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000 Think of the deer in the forest when you are talking about Murikshira. 16 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000 The deer is always constantly searching for something in the forest. 17 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000 That is the symbology of this constellation. 18 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:41,000 So it falls between 23 degrees 20 minutes of Taurus and goes up till 6 degrees 40 minutes of Gemini. 19 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000 So this splits into two zodiac signs. 20 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:53,000 The first two padas, Dharma and Artha-pada are in Taurus while Kama and Moksha-pada are in Gemini. 21 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Exactly half. 22 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,000 And the Navamsha of this goes in the first two padas from Taurus to Leo and Taurus to Virgo. 23 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:09,000 And in the next two padas, it goes from Gemini to Libra and Gemini to Scorpio. 24 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000 So what's the energy of this Nakshatra? What does this provide us with? 25 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000 The energy of Murikshira is flexible. 26 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:25,000 They are very flexible people. They can be joyous, gentle and with a lot of charm and grace, especially in Pada 1. 27 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,000 They can be very attractive and magnetic because Taurus goes into Leo in Pada 1. 28 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000 Desires that go against the norms, especially in Pada 4. 29 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,000 Why? Because Gemini goes into Scorpio in Navamsha, which is in the Moksha-pada. 30 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:57,000 They could be chasing relationships, third padas, because it's on Kama-pada and it's going from Gemini to Libra, both of which are Kama signs, air signs. 31 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:07,000 They could be extremely fixated in Pada 2, for example, because it goes from Taurus to Virgo, both of which are earth signs. 32 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:17,000 Forest and nature is very comforting to them. They could be self-indulgent, especially in Pada 4, going into Scorpio, which is internal in nature. 33 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:28,000 The theme of this Nakshatra, they are constantly searching for some calling, one or the other, maybe more so in Pada 3. 34 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:37,000 It could be in relationships, if you're talking about the seventh house, it could be spirituality, if you're talking about the ninth house, 35 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:43,000 profession, if you're talking about the tenth house, partners, seventh house, knowledge, fifth house, etc. 36 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:50,000 So you see how this Nakshatra placement and the planets that are deposited there is more important than anything else, 37 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:59,000 to determine which Pada it is going into and what drives this personality, what drives the life lesson. 38 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:08,000 So they could be going overboard on the downside, they could become suspicious in nature, cowardly, defensive, hiding, camouflage themselves, 39 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000 especially in Pada 4, because it goes from Gemini to Scorpio. 40 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000 They could be creatives in Pada 1, because Taurus goes into Leo, which is the fifth house. 41 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000 They could become accountants in Pada 2, which is Virgo. 42 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000 They could become intellectuals in Pada 3, which is Libra. 43 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000 They could become journalists in Pada 4, which is Scorpio. 44 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000 So what is a life lesson? 45 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,000 As we can see this Nakshatra is very diverse and it's what they want to do and accomplish, 46 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,000 because they are soft, they are intelligent people, Gana is Dev and the deity is Moon God itself. 47 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000 This is not Chandra the planet, this is so Mother Moon God. 48 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000 So they are looking for some essence of life, where they can feel joy. 49 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:03,000 So the life lesson for this Nakshatra is finding core commitment, which resonates deeply to work with. 50 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Because the deity is always searching for something and there is a deity representation, 51 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,000 constantly seeking and going from one thing to another, won't help these people. 52 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000 If you have majority of planets and points in Meghishisha, you got to remember this, 53 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000 especially personal planets, Mercury, Venus, the nodes of the Moon, the Moon etc. 54 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Don't keep drifting from one thing to another, find your core commitment, which resonates deeply 55 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000 and commit yourself to that, work with that. 56 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,000 So the pie chart shows where we are on the Nakshatra wheel. 57 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:48,000 The mantra is Vishnu sasranama, because Vishnu will give you that deeper energy of what would make sense to you personally. 58 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000 As you listen to the sasranamas, why I keep recommending sasranamas is, 59 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000 it gives you more broader perspective and energies of who you are. 60 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:08,000 The ages this Nakshatra is active is 4, 8, 17, 25, 34, 46, 50, 65, 73 and 79. So it's a very active Nakshatra. 61 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000 And it will show up in the houses, whichever one is active at any given age. 62 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000 Meghishisha. 63 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Thank you.
