The energy of this nakshatra is soft, mild, tender and curious. It has a deer in the forest as one of its original symbols. This gentle and shy animal is always on the alert and aware of invisible predators lurking in the bushes. This hyper-alertness gives great intuition, psychic abilities and expanded awareness to those who engage with Mrigasira (also written as Mrigashira). Known as “the Star of searching” it gives a passion for novelty, a restless and wandering nature. It is delighted, excited, joyful, playful and sensitive. “Just follow your heart” could be its motto.

The deity Soma presides over this star. Soma is the elixir of the gods, the ancient psychedelic drink of the Vedas. Ever curious Mrigasira could certainly give us the inclination to explore other realms and higher states of awareness with the help of various medicine plants.

This energy grants us fulfillment and its final aim is Moksha or enlightenment.

Mrigasira’s 4 stars can be seen in the sky as: π 2-, π3-, π4- and Gamma Orionis.

This wonderful nakshatra teaches us how to nurture and nourish others. The energy of Pushya is an excellent antidote to the selfishness that permeates society at the moment. It takes true wisdom and sacrifice to care for and be of benefit to others.

To engage with Mula (also written as Moola) energy we need immense spiritual strength and ultimate detachment from the material world. It has the power to destroy anything but the pure naked truth. Losses and reversals, magic and spiritual awakening fall under its domain. The fearsome Goddess Kali (or Nritti) presides over these stars, enforcing total surrender of the ego and any expectations.

Mula is aligned with the black hole at the center of our Galaxy where all mind and matter is dissolved.

This energy is very helpful for deep inquiry into all things mysterious and unseen. Illusions will be removed. We become fearless enough to live and speak our truth. Through adversity and transformation, we attain great wisdom and self-knowledge. At the same time, it gives us the ability to spot lies and hidden agendas from others immediately.

One of the symbols of Mula, a tied bunch of roots (the invisible part of the plant), makes this a good energy for herbalists, homeopaths, etc.

When dealing with this energy we are advised to live a very simple life, close to nature, so we may stay grounded.

The stars of Mula can be seen in the sky as the 9 stars in the tail of the Scorpio constellation.

Anyone who values friendship or works with people will benefit from Anuradha essence.

Anuradha’s energy will bring the willingness to explore friendship to a higher level of devotion and loyalty. It will give the intuition to “read” peoples intentions and other occult abilities, plus the willingness to co-operate with people of other backgrounds, mindsets, and cultures to create something pure and beautiful.

The Vedic deity Agni (god of fire) and the Sun are both associated with this nakshatra, also knows as “the Star of Fire”.

In yogic tradition there is the concept of tapasya, this means willingly taking on a lengthy process of endurance, for example, fasting, meditation or adherence to ritual, thus generating inner fire for purification, wisdom and enlightenment. Krittika gives us the willpower and fire to accomplish such a task by applying our desires to a higher cause.

Obviously, fire ceremonies and fire rituals fall under Krittka’s domain.

Any flame or cooking fire can be kept clean and holy and thus worshipped as Agni for our concentration and purification.

The energy of this nakshatra makes us passionate and proud, attractive, famous, strong, persistent and ambitious. We must examine ourselves to see how we apply these inclinations.

A sharp knife or sword is one of the traditional symbols for Krittika, thus cutting out, burning and removing our old behaviours, habits and thought patterns are indicated here again.

Once we have accomplished a level of purity and wisdom, we can become excellent teachers under Krittika’s influence.

The stars of Krittika can be seen in the sky as the Pleiades.

Punarvasu nakshatra invites us to get in touch with the cosmic female principle that pervades the entire universe. This principle is seen as all matter, energy and action in the cosmos. Being aware of the whole and feeling at home in the universe, we can rest in safety and abundance, we can be forgiving and generous to others.

This energy gives us the optimism to successfully try again, never disheartened by failure. It gives us second chances always by endowing us with an idealistic and virtuous outlook on life.

Punarvasu gives us a spiritual inclination while at the same time blessing us with plenty of material goods and a comfortable home-life. It is forward-looking, pure, balanced and movable.

This is a star of fire and transformation, where we get the impulse to ignite the inner spiritual fire. We will feel a burning passion for the supernatural, and an innate interest in spiritual pursuits. This can lead to our first encounter with a Kundalini awakening experience, and this is not without danger if the body and soul are not sufficiently purified through practice. Past karmas will be burned quickly by this star energy and this may not always be a pleasant experience.

It is of utmost importance to seek a righteous spiritual path because Purva Bhadra (aslo written as Poorvabhadrapada) is often overwhelmed by impatience, it does not really care how this inner fire is generated.

Once a path or practice is chosen, this nakshatra will give us the devotion and passion necessary to accomplish our objective.

Self-reliance, passion, idealism and warrior-like qualities are attained under the influence of Purva Bhadra. We will also gain good intuition and a sense of adventure. It makes it possible for us to be engaged in intense practice behind the scenes, while it appears we lead a normal life like everyone else.

The stars of Purva Bhadra can be seen in the sky as Alpha- and Beta-Pegasi.

Swati is curious and full of desire for travel and new experiences rather than making a firm decision and stick to it, it will help us to go with the flow in every moment and hope for the best. We will collect skills, wisdom, friends, and goods along the way and happily give all of it away again as we see fit.
