Kameshwara pre marathna mani pratipanastani
na bhyal avala romali latap halaku jatvai
These are the beautiful lines from Lalita Sahasranama
The 1000 names of the Divine Mother Goddess
or another name for Kundalini or Shakti
Sanghbhai Vishnu Himself
Okay, why are we talking about Lalita Sahasranama?
We come to the 17th out of 27th Nakshatra
in our series of Nakshatra studies
Anuradha Nakshatra
Anuradha meaning one who is following Radha
Radha as in the consort of Krishna
Her life theme was all about finding true love
devotion form of love
The love between two individuals which transcends into devotion
Keep that in mind as we go along
So Anuradha Nakshatra falls squarely within Scorpio
Now we are talking about the Scorpio
The depth of emotion
In this particular Anuradha Nakshatra
which falls between 3 degrees 20 minutes of Scorpio
to 16 degrees 40 minutes of Scorpio
We have 4 padas of Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha
going into Leo, Virgo, Libra and Scorpio itself
So there is a Virgotama or the higher transcendence of Scorpio
Let's say in the Moksha Pada
This is the highest of Moksha padas of Scorpio itself
Okay
So the Anuradha Nakshatra can play very dominantly
in the 4th pada basically
So if majority of your personal planets
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Moon etc fall in the 4th pada
It will be very very dominant
especially even if the ascendant is in the 4th pada
So let's get into the nature, life themes and energies of Anuradha Nakshatra
It is a soft Nakshatra
It is a soft Nakshatra and it is Gana is Dev
and its deity is Mitra
Mitra is one of that of friendship
These people will be opposed to any kind of
confrontation of any kind
They will avoid confrontational energies
because it is a soft Nakshatra
and it is Dev Gana
Dev Ganas do not typically like confrontation of any kind
What are the energies of Anuradha Nakshatra?
Reward of love
Friendship
as the deity suggests
Mitra is a deity of friendship
They are of loyalty
They are very loyal creatures
So once you make friends with an Anuradha Nakshatra person
A dominantly Anuradha Nakshatra person in personal planets
You can expect loyalty from them to the maximum
Intimacy of the heart
That's what they are seeking
Depths of emotional bonding
Depths of emotional bonding can be found
even in the first and third padas, Leo and Libra
They are seeking that
Devotion out of romantic love
Love of sexual intimacy
The act of merging
The act of orgasmic kind of love
is Anuradha Nakshatra
Because we are talking about Scorpio here
It wants to get to the essence of things
They have a theme of understanding
the essence of love in their life
It also would symbolify unrequited love
They might have a tendency to lose one true love of their life
Once in a lifetime
Kind of love
They are about fulfillment of promises
They are about universal love
They are very good diplomatic people
They are good to lead a team of people
Because they understand this emotion
They understand this emotion of being soft
Taking the team together with you
Because deity is Mitra or friendship
Who is better to lead a team than a person
Who knows what the essence of friendship is
They have the power to worship devotion like we said
It's a very devotional kind of love
They must try to aspire to
They can be very artistic
Especially in the first padas
Scorpio going into Leo
They can be very disciplined
In the second padas going into Virgo
They can be very humanitarian
Scorpio going into Libra in the third padas
They can be extremely intense
In the fourth padas
Because Scorpio goes into Scorpio
You can't get any more Scorpio than that
Scorpio in the Nital and Scorpio in the Navamsa
So what's the life lesson of Anuradha Nakshatra?
Merging needs bond of love
To be aroused to reach the zenith point
The orgasmic point
Meaning what?
If you were to expand on this
It means the love that Anuradha Nakshatra ascendant
Anuradha Nakshatra mourn
And if more planets and points are posited here
It means this person, these individuals
Are seeking to merge love
With that orgasmic point in sexual merging
It's a highly sexual Nakshatra
But it needs love
Which means you can't just go merging with everyone else
It needs that bond of love to reach the climax
So these people, in order for them to feel anything
They must be completely merged with the other individual
That's what Anuradha Nakshatra essence means
So it can be very in the depth of love itself
Love between two people we are speaking of
That's why I recommend Lalita Sasranama
Because Mother Goddess knows this essence of love
That's the first two lines I said from Lalita Sasranama in the beginning
The ages actile for this Nakshatra is 25, 26, 29, 37, 44, 48, 63, 66 and 84
So moderately active Nakshatra
The Anuradha Nakshatra
Next we shall be dealing with Jayastha Nakshatra
So stay tuned
