Mooladharaikandilaya Brahma-Grandevi-Bhedini
Manipurantharudhita Vishnugrandevi-Bhedini
Agnacakratharalastha Rudra-Grandevi-Bhedini
These are the lines from Lalitha Sahasranama, the thousand names of the Divine Mother Goddess.
Why are we speaking of the Divine Goddess here?
Because now we come to the ninth nakshatra of Ashlesha, which is ruled by the Nagas, which all stands for Kundalini.
What do these lines mean?
She who resides in the Mooladhara chakra in the form of four petal lotus.
She who breaks the knot of Brahma helps us to cross the ties of our birth.
She who exists in Manipuraka chakra.
She who breaks the ties of Vishnu, who helps us cross the Maya.
She who lives between the two eyelids in the form of Agnacakra.
She who breaks the ties of Rudra helps us to cross the ties of attachments of any kind.
Beautiful Lalitha Sahasranama.
So now we come to Ashlesha nakshatra, which falls between 16 degrees 40 minutes of cancer.
And goes up till the end of cancer, 30 degrees of cancer.
So we are finishing up the cancer sign and we are also finishing up the first nine of the 27 nakshatras.
This is the end of a cycle, so to speak. We shall examine this in detail later.
But let's see what Ashlesha brings us.
It goes, it's nature. First of all, we are talking about the energies of the nakshatra and the life themes in the series.
So nature is sharp. Ashlesha, if your personal planets are in Ashlesha, it can be sharp tongue, you know, can speak very harsh.
Or if you are Jupiter and other planets are present, your intelligence, your understanding can be very discerning in nature.
Sharp disarmament. It can mean any number of things. Sharp does not necessarily mean bad. Okay, I want you to get that.
So the energies of this nakshatra are protection and defense. They can be heard easily.
They are very sensitive inside, although they appear harsh outside.
They are highly intuitive and highly clingy. We need to feel connected to each other, especially in Padha 4 with Pisces.
Why? Because this nakshatra is ruled by the Nagas, the snakes, the deity of the snakes.
The deity is important to understand in every nakshatra.
So snakes symbolically are attached to the ground. They are always embracing the ground.
They are very sensitive to ground energies as a result, these nakshatra people.
If your dominant number of points in planets are present in Ashlesha, you will be very ground sensitive.
Energy of the ground, energy of the earth. They could be action oriented, especially in Padha 2, because it's an artha,
going into Capricorn and Navamsa. Their life themes could be more about transformation, shedding of old skin,
like snakes, like Nagas, and moving through life. They could be introverted, very quiet natured people.
They could be irritable easily. They are very vulnerable. They have a big need for privacy.
On the downside, they could be deceptive and suspicious, especially in Padha 3 with the Kamapada,
which goes into Aquarius, in Navamsa from Cancer. Aquarius people can be secretive, deceptive.
So what's the life lesson for this beautiful nakshatra life lesson?
It is to live seductively without being seduced. Embrace with dance, yet be ready to change at any time.
So this is a very dynamic nakshatra, as you can see. It has an energy of sensitivity to the ground.
It has the energy of transformation through life. And you have to live in your own seductive energy.
This is the life lesson of Ashlesha. The mantra is Alita Satsangama, the beautiful thousand names of the Mother Goddess.
Why? Because this is the best thousand names where you can find all about Kundalini.
If you want to understand Kundalini, just recite Lalita Satsangama.
The ages that this nakshatra is active is 4, 14, 17, 27, 30, 40, 33, 41 and 65.
Next we will talk about which one is that Magha nakshatra, which will begin in the next one. Take care.
