Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Nakshatra Tables The nakshatras are considered to be the wives of the Moon. In Vedic Mythology the wives or consorts symbolize the power of the divinity. Therefore, as the wives of the Moon, the nakshatras represent the powers of the Moon. Of what sort are these powers? The Moon indicates consciousness and that which grows as a result of what is in the consciousness. In fact, the Moon's favorite nakshatra/wife is Rohini, which means to grow, and which is presided by Prajapati, the lord of creation. The nakshatras, therefore, indicate the powers of consciousness that create growth. The growth of any planet or point is dependent upon the nakshtra in which it falls. The Nakshatra Tables provide an array of details and qualities pertaining to the nakshatras. The growth of any planet or point is dependent upon the qualities of the nakshatra in which it falls: In the event of benefic influences the qualities of the nakshatra will provide healthy growth and realization. In the event of malefic influences the qualities of the nakshatra will be perverted so as not to provide any healthy growth. Nakshatra Categories Some of the different categories of nakshatras as given in the Nakshatra Tables are now being explained: Deity- The myths of these deities have a lot to reveal about the nakshatras. For instance there is a myth that Narayana taught astrology to the Asvins, Asvinni therefore is one of the nakshatras that indicates astrology. The deities can also be worshipped to increase the growth of those things falling in their nakshatras. Shakti- The power of the consciousness to create growth. Basis Above- The foundation of the power of the consciousness. Basis Below- The natural reciprocation, or reflection, of the Basis Above. Result of the Shakti and Basis'- The natural result of the Shakti's and Basis, these all applied with flexibility and imagination will yield very revealing results. Guna- Indicates the activating motivation of the nakshatra; whether sattvic, inspired as a result of holding views that there are possibilities for elevation; rajasic, inspired due to holding views that there possibilities of fulfilling activities; or tamasic, inspired as a result of holding views that things can be depressed. Tamasic nakshatras are not necessarily depressing; for instance Pushyami, a tamasic nakshatra, has the shakti to create spiritual energy. It is motivated to do this as a result of holding views that things can be depressed, in order to avoid this possibility spiritual energy is created. Nature- The nature inclines the nakshatras to be better suited for different tasks. For instance moveable nakshatras will give greater growth to this things that require movement, travel, or change. Fierce/severe nakshatras will give greater growth to those things requiring severity, such as fighting, etc. Race- Deva nakshatras are inclined to uphold what they believe is good. Manusha nakshatras are pragmatic and versatile in nature, the do what they believe will give the best results. Rakshasa nakshatras are inclined to break taboos, restrictions, etc. TriMurthi- Creation or Brahma nakshatras indicate the creative aspect, these are also karma (action) nakshatras. Preservation or Vishnu nakshatras are the reflection of the Brahma nakshatras and thereby preserve or maintain what is created. These are also bhoga (enjoyment) nakshatras. Dissolution or Siva nakshatras indicate that which happens between the creative aspect and its reflection. Namely the process of understanding that results in the loss of the many in view of the One. These are also naasa (loss) nakshatras. Activity- Passive nakshatras are more receptive, active nakshatras are more initiative, balanced nakshatras are both active and passive depending upon need. Goal- Indicates the goal or purpose of the nakshatra. Whether dharma, finding one's place and purpose in life; artha, material wellbeing as the support of the other goals; kama, balanced fulfillment of one's desires; or moksha, freedom from worldly suffering. The benefic or malefic influences upon the planet falling in a nakshatra will determine to what extent the goal will be realized. Body Parts- Useful primarily for medical astrology. The organs governed by nakshatras with malefics or disease causing planets will be suffering due to some disruption, or excess to the proper flow of energy to that organ. Dosha- The excess of energy the nakshatra may give rise to. People and Profession- These can be helpful to determine more specific detail about one's career or about people in the natives life. Miscellaneous Articles- These can be helpful to determine more specific detail about one's possessions, expenses, goods sold, etc. # Name Degrees Lord Meaning Stars* Shape/Symbol Guna Caste** Goal Race Sex*** 1 Aswinni 00 - 13:20 Aries Ketu the horsemen 3 horses head Rajas Vaishyas dharma Deva M 2 Bharani 13:20 - 26:40 Aries Venus the bearers 3 female sexual organ Tamas Mlecchas artha Manusha F 3 Krittika 26:40 Aries - 10 Taurus Sun razor/cutter 6 dagger/razor Sattva Brahmins kama Rakshasa F 4 Rohini 10 - 23:20 Taurus Moon ruddy cow, red, growing 5 chariot Rajas Shudra moksha Manusha M? 5 Mrigashira 23:20 Taurus - 6:40 Gemini Mars dear or antelope's head 3 head or a deer Tamas servant moksha Deva N 6 Ardra 6:40 - 20 Gemini Rahu the moist 1 tear drop, gem Sattva butcher kama Manusha F 7 Punurvasu 20 Gemini - 3:20 Cancer Jupiter return of the light and goods, 4/5 quiver/ house, bow Rajas Vaishyas artha Deva M 8 Pushyami 3:20 - 16:40 Cancer Saturn nourisher, flower, the best 3 teat of cow, arrow, flower Tamas Kshatriyas dharma Deva M 9 Aslesha 16:40 - 30:00 Cancer Mercury entwiner, embracer, intimate connection 5/6 wheel, serpant Sattva Mlecchas dharma Rakshasa F 10 Magha 00 - 13:20 Leo Ketu beneficent, mighty 5 throne, palanquin, royal court Rajas Shudra artha Rakshasa F 11 PurvaPhalguni 13:20 - 26:40 Leo Venus previous red one 2/8 legs of a cot, stage Tamas Brahmins kama Manusha F 12 UttaraPhalguni 26:40 Leo - 10 Virgo Sun later red one 2 bed, legs of a cot Sattva Kshatriyas moksha Manusha F 13 Hasta 10 - 23:20 Virgo Moon hand 5 closed hand Rajas Vaishyas moksha Deva M 14 Chitra 23:20 Virgo .- 6:40 Libra Mars brilliant, distinguished 1 pearl Tamas servant kama Rakshasa F 15 Svati 6:40 - 20 Libra Rahu independent, sword 1 coral, sapphire Sattva butcher artha Deva F 16 Vishaka 20 Libra - 3:20 Scorpio Jupiter branched, forked branches 4/5 leaf decked triumphal gate, potters wheel Rajas Mlecchas dharma Rakshasa F 17 Anuradha 3:20 - 16:40 Scorpio Saturn subsequent success, following Radha 4 or bali (heap of rice), umbrella Tamas Shudra dharma Deva M 18 Jyesta 16:40 - 30 Scorpio Mercury the eldest 3 kundal (ear Ring), umbrella, talisman Sattva servant artha Rakshasa F? 19 Moola 00 - 13:20 Sagittarius Ketu root, commencement 11 tail of lion, crouching line Rajas butcher kama Rakshasa N 20 Purva Ashada 13:20 - 26:40 Sagittarius Venus earlier victory 2 hand fan, winnowing basket, tusk, square Tamas Brahmins moksha Manusha F 21 Uttara Ashada 26:40 Sagittarius - 10 Capricorn Sun later victory 2/8 machan, elephant tusk, square Sattva Kshatriyas moksha Manusha F 22 Sravana 10 - 23:20 Capricorn Moon famous, hearing 3 3 footprints, arrow Rajas Mlecchas artha Deva M 23 Dhanishta 23:20 Capricorn - 6:40 Aquarius Mars very rich, very swift 4/5 mridanga (drum) Tamas servant dharma Rakshasa F 24 Shatabishak 6:40 - 20 Aquarius Rahu 100 medicines or doctors 100 circle, flower Sattva butcher dharma Rakshasa N 25 Purva Bhadra Pada 20 Aquarius - 3:20 Pisces Jupiter earlier auspicious one 2 double faced man, stage, machan, legs of a cot Rajas Brahmins artha Manusha M 26 Uttara Bhadra Pada 3:20 - 16:40 Pisces Saturn later auspicious one 2/8 last bed, legs of a cot two joined men Tamas Kshatriyas artha Manusha M 27 Revati 16:40 - 30 Pisces Mercury rich, wealthy 32 mridanga (drum), fish Sattva Shudra moksha Deva F *Some sources give a different number of stars, in this case both sources have been included. **Butchers are "a powerful class of cruel men." *** There is some difference of opinion about the sex of two Nakshatras, these have a "?", the most agreed upon sex is listed.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Dear Lalith, This is good information about the 27 nakshatras in one place. Any information about these 27 nakshatras are fascinating to read as the very basis of astrology rests on these inputs. Your effort in this is indeed appreciated. I remember you had done a similar Vedic Himalaya about 24 nakshatras in the past. You had left out descriptions of these three nakshatras - 22. SHRAVANA 25. UTTARA BHADRAPADA 27. REVATHI I shall be happy if these are also brought out by you. God bless.
