Anuradha nakshatra

Nakshatra Anuradha

“If a man’s heart is pure, he will always find the right people and the right means to fight adversity”

~Mahatma Gandhi~

The Nakshatra Anuradha is located between 3.20 degrees and 16.40 degrees in the sidereal sign Scorpio.

It consists of three stars, which ancient astronomers likened to a magic wand.

Today they bear the names Beta Scorpio, Delta Scorpio and Pi Scorpio.

These stars can be easily spotted in the cloudless starry sky, as they line up just above the bright star Antares.

Anuradha is ruled by the planet Saturn and is under the patronage of the deity of friendship – Mitra.

Anuradha is a divine star in nature and has a mild personality.

Her name translates as “star of success” and “star that helps/incites other people to work”, indicating the organizational abilities of a person who is influenced by her.

Another translation is “follower of Radha”.

Radha is the feminine manifestation of the Divine energy, encouraging all living beings to serve God.

One of the main symbols of the nakshatra is the lotus.

This mystical flower is associated with purity, nobility and spiritual development.

It has the amazing ability to penetrate deeply with its roots into the dirtiest and stagnant waters, but retain its fragrance, purity and beauty.

Similarly, Anuradha, who is located in the heart of the sign Scorpio, manages to filter the stagnant, dark energies of this so contradictory, mystical and challenging sign to organize this space in a creative way.

People born under the strong influence of the Anuradha nakshatra can work with vulnerable social groups and people with addictions.

They have the necessary knowledge, skills and strength to solve problems and deal with difficult situations.

The main qualities that those born under the influence of Anuradha exhibit are organizational skills, leadership, friendliness, intuition and a strong interest in mysticism.

They have a deep and coherent mind, therefore they often become good researchers, scientists, with a bias towards the natural sciences.

They manage to skillfully capture social moods, analyze them, but sift the truth from the media noise, so they often show skills as investigative journalists or in other fields of activity that imply the presence of a sharp, analytical mind.

Anuradha possesses ‘Radha-shakti’, the energy to serve by maintaining a balance between one’s own dignity and respect for other people.

They are not ready to uncomplainingly sacrifice themselves for the sake of others, because their strength is in the balance of energy.

They manage to give as much as they have received, because equal exchange is important to them.

Thus purity and balance are preserved, because there is no debtor and creditor, there is an eternal, consistent, creative movement of energy.

The ruling higher power associated with the nakshatra is Mitra, who is responsible for friendship and partnership.

The power of love, care, devotion are able to inspire these people and motivate them to maintain friendly, social relations.

When malefics are placed in the Anuradha nakshatra, it is possible for those born under its influence to manifest open and quiet inner anger.

It is hard for them to forget the pain, betrayal and cruelty that was deliberately caused.

They are able to fight back if they feel betrayed and try to exert control, although they often use “velvet gloves” and it is difficult for one to perceive the complex tactical maneuvers of this deep mind.
