Dear Gurudevas and Fellow Students,

Namaste.

 

Class homework Re: Nakshatra. I use Sanskrit names for practice. I'm not

sure if this was what you were expecting, but I tried to include the

influences in general.

I learned that Chandra is influenced by every Graha in my chart, giving so

many influences.Some of them I'll describe.

Janma Nakshatra :Chandra is residing in the Nakshatra of Chitra, in the

Rasi of Thula in the 5th house.

Influencing Chandra(the mind,emotions,etc) are the following influences.

The Nakshatra of Chitra resides in the Rasi of Thula ,an Air Rashi owned by

Shukra.There will be a strong influence , or interest in things associated

with Shukra. I'm adaptable, easy going, and friendly. I like bright

colors,music is important to my mental state,and gives me much happiness.

Chitra is called the " bright one " represented by a pearl. Chitra is

associated with music, color and artists,nice handwriting,and things like

flowers etc. I have a large garden, lots of fruit trees,flowers ,and water

is near-by my home. I propagate different flowers. My favorite service is

to make garlands for our numerous Dieties. This is all connected to Chitra.

As the Moon is in the 5th (of children) I love my children and like to take

good care of them. I think I am a good teacher to them.Chandra is the

depositor of Guru and is in a kendra from Chandra.This influence gave me

desire to be religious person, and good character. Guru is within 1' in

exact kendra, so I think it has strong influence.

The ruler of Chitra is Mangal and is aspected by him. This gives good and

bad results. Mangal gives some fanaticism, and strong opinions, and a

restless mind..Combined with the malefic restrictive influence of Sani,

during my early childhood(Chandra also shows early childhood) I was very

depressed,felt shy,self conscious, I felt like life was pointless and

constantly meditated(obsessed would be more accurate) on my self

destruction. It was literally an unbearable time. I learned compassion for

all those who suffer. Shani is my Atmakaraka planet and I take it that this

was some bad karma had I had to suffer through to progress spiritually.

Shani made me look very deep into things.Shani is ex 8/9 lord in 5th house

of intellect.Gave knowledge of scriptures.Good gurus,etc. Schooling in

astrology.(Interestingly,now Shani is giving me very karma is his

Dasha.)Shani also gives interest, and compassion for the downtrodden and

elders.Shani also gives dry,morbid sense of humor, interest in forensic

medicine, death and afterlife.Shani also gives hesitation, self doubt in

expressing myself.

Also influencing,Shani is airy graha, Thula is also.

..

Rasi aspects influencing Chandra : Thula is a Chara Rasi so is aspected by

the Shira Rasi- No planets occupy Vrishaba,Simha. I am steady worker and

protective of friends and family, but like my independence. The Rashi of

Maraka and the Grahas, Surya and Budha aspect Chandra also.Surya is within

1' exact kendra from Chandra.This gave good intelligence, a

practical,hardworking,and serious, diligent nature. However, I'm very playful.

Chitras animal symbol is a female tiger. I guess I can be a tiger woman at

times.

 

My lagna Nakshatra is Punarvasu, residing in Mithuna. Punarvasu is ruled by

Guru. The influence of Budha and Guru gives a intellectual,or knowledgeable

person inclined towards communication. I've read many descriptions of

Punarvasu, one is that its symbol is a quiver of arrows, and that it means "

that which repeats " .. Adhiti is the Diety associated with Punarvasu.

Ketu ,Moksha karaka is also in Mithuna giving interest in liberation.Also,

Ketu gave restrictions, skin and breathing difficulties at different times

to the physical body..Some psychic intuition.

Other Rasi influences would be from Kanya in 4th, and Sagittarius in the

7th , which gives association with priests, doctors,etc. Rahu resides in

Sagittarius..Rahus influence gave misery from deceitful

persons,doctors,etc. association with bad situations,during Rahu Maha Dasha.

Other Rashi dristi would be from the Rasi of Meena. Meena gives

sensitivity , interest in higher knowledge,transcendental thoughts.residing

in Meena and thereby also influencing lagna is Mangal. Mangal also aspects

by 4th aspect. Mangal gives some fire to the lagna. I was very physically

active.Mangal rules over cuts and burns, so I had all those. Mangal rules

over muscles and I so I look very strong and fierce at times. I move a lot.

Animal symbol is a female cat. Curious and cautious

Thank-you for the class and your comments, Laksmi dasi
