I know Cinderella and uttar bhadrapada

BUT

Every rich, girlboss, insanely famous, the ceo, that fucking IT girl ladder climbing woman who have that POISE of rich royal queen like woman have SWATI nakshtra somewhere.

Maybe because of the expansion (rahu) mixed with luxury money beauty and fame (venus) [libra]

Or obsession (also rahu) mixed with luxury money beauty and fame (venus) [libra]

Or also reverse other people and network (venus, 7th house, libra) mixed with obsession, illusion, projecting and fame (rahu)

It's about the INFLUENCE I feel these people hold but yeah I see most successful rich and famous woman in every field most of them have Swati nakshtra somewhere in their chart.

Karaka means significator or signification. Every object- living or dead signifies something in this world. It has a purpose for it's existence.

In Sanskrit dictionary, it means an operator, factor and who or what produces.

They are presided by Brahma.

Naisargika Karakas show not only human beings, but they show various impersonal things and matter.

They show everything that exists in Brahma's creation and affects a person

They are useful in analysis of general results, i.e. phalita jyotish.

Tropical vs Sidereal astrology

EDIT: UPON REFLECTION I'VE REALISED THAT I NEED TO BE MORE CLEAR WITH WHAT IM COMPARING HERE - IT IS NOT ABOUT VEDIC ASTROLOGY AS A WHOLE BUT THE SIDEREAL SYSTEM (WHICH IS ALMOST ENTIRELY SOLELY USED BY VEDIC ASTROLOGERS ONLY).

In my first post, I spoke a bit on how astrology works scientifically, and therefore why I use the tropical system. This post will go a little further into why, but I will re-paste the relevant parts from my first part here.

First, however, I would like to make it clear that when I am referring to Vedic astrology, I am referring to the common understanding of vedic astrology today which is the system which uses sidereal positioning. But Vedic astrology DOES NOT necessarily equal Sidereal. There are Vedic astrologers (though few, and will be expanded upon later) which use the tropical system. I am, however, using this post to explain why I do not use the Sidereal system. I am simply not proficient enough to talk about Vedic techniques and principles as understood removed from its popular Sidereal understanding. So to reiterate, this is not a post against Vedic techniques or Vedas and such, but why I do not follow how it is commonly perceived and practised today.

Sidereal vs Tropical rundown

✎ Sidereal astrology accounts for the precession of the equinoxes, i.e. it relies on where the actual constellations have moved to from our perspective on earth. If you use a sky map app and point it to the sky it will tell you the exact constellation above, that is sidereal positioning.

✎ Tropical astrology does not do this, it uses the divison of the ecliptic exactly how it was thousands of years ago of where the sun was at the vernal equinox - Aries. It is thus based on the seasons.

The science behind astrology - why constellations do not matter (excerpt form my main post):

: ̗̀➛ Astrology has NOTHING to do with the physical constellations. Astrology is based on the signs on the ecliptic (the path of the sun amongst the constellations, which is the plane of the earth's orbit).

: ̗̀➛ The equator has 15 constellations, and the ecliptic has 13. So why do we have 12 zodiac signs? This is because babylonians divided the ecliptic into 12 equal segments of 30 degrees each thousands of years ago. The ecliptic was divided into SIGNS. 12 constellations were just used to identify where in the sky each sign would be, at the time for ease of astronomical mapping/calculation - it is merely symbolic. This is why Opphiuchus is not the 13th Zodiac SIGN, although it is a constellation.

: ̗̀➛ Another reason why they are not based off the physical constellations is because the actual size of the constellations vary massively in size. Below is a representation of this:

: ̗̀➛ As you can see, Virgo, for instance is huge, and on a literal view overlaps into the next segment because the constellations do not all equally fit a 30 degree division. Yet, we do not give scorpio like 5 days for its season, because the physical constellation does not dictate anything meaningful.

This gives us the tropical zodiac, which is to do with the earth's seasons:

: ̗̀➛ The solstices are therefore reference points for Capricorn and Cancer (tropic of capricorn and tropic of cancer), not the constellations themselves. Accordingly, the spring equinox is marked by Aries (with the sun entering the segment of Aries at 0 degrees until 29), and the autumn equinox by Libra. Even though in the Southern Hemisphere, the sun entering Aries is an autumnal equinox, ithe fact remains it is still about the seasons (i.e. what the sun does, maintaining its universal application).

: ̗̀➛ The precession of the equinoxes, are therefore irrelevant to astrology (and this is why vedic/sidereal is, in my opinion inaccurate). The slow change of the direction of the earth's axial tilt, over around 26000 years, cause a precession of the equinoxes. This means, the segment of the sky that used to be identified by the Aries constellation from the earth's position at the time, is now looking at Pisces. But as we know, astrology has nothing to do with the physical location of the constellations. Vedic astrologers use sidereal positioning, aka taking into account the precession of the equinoxes, yet they still divide the ecliptic in the same way. This causes problems, leading to many branches in vedic because few agree on where aries actually even starts.

The problems with Sidereal positioning - its all about the sun!

✣ As described in my first post ( i'd really recommend u read it ngl lol), astrology is symbolic, and its entire foundation is based off the sun. It is the sun which gives us life -> therefore it represents our vitality, creativity, identity etc (as opposed to the rising sign which is our personality, who we are, etc and filtered through our chart ruler). Everything comes back down to this SOLAR-based system -> equinox to equinox. Nothing to do with the constellations.

✣ Moreover, the signs are grouped into the 3 modalities, which all represent the suns status (symbolic significations are interpretated separately depending on the sign but generally the groups represents what the sun is doing). The sign which it currently objectively is passing through bears no significance. E.g:

-> Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricon = Cardinal = sun is crossing the equator when crossing Aries or Libra. When crossing cancer the sun is moving from setting north to south, and vice versa when going through Capricorn. Moving forward, fresh change. -> Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius = Fixed = sun is in the middle of the season it is in, it is 'fixed' and maintaining. -> Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces = Mutable = sun is transforming by going through the end of its season, undoing and release before the next season starts with the cardinal signs.

✣ Because the position of the constellation depends on where on earth you view it from, there is no obejctive consensus on where Aries even starts. This had led to varying branches of sidereal astrology such as Lahiri, Raman, Krishnamurti Paddhati, and some western takes on Sidereal positioning like Fagan-Bradley. These branches are symptomatic of being overly pedantic by concentrating on the constellations themselves.

✣ Finally, Vic Di Cara is a famous and rare example of a modern day Vedic astrologer who uses the tropical system. Seems blasphemous, but he delves into some irrefutable points on ancient India's use of the tropical system which I will paste below but I really encourage you to read it. Tldr it is still about the sun (surprise suprise):

"The foundational texts of Indian Astrology unanimously and explicitly define the zodiac based on solstices and equinoxes (i.e. tropical). On the other hand, they also unanimously define the nakshatra based on stars (i.e. sidereal). The current difference between the two - the solstices (ayana) and their marker stars - is described as "ayanamsha." Problem: For many centuries Indian astrologers have applied ayanāṁśa to both the nakshatra and the zodiac - fuseing the two and divorcing the zodiac from its tropical anchors. Solution: Reform... which requires patience, clarity, contemplation and humility from all parties."

CRUCIALLY:

I hope this cleared up any confusions on sidereal vs tropical astrology, and has helped informed your decision on choosing which system to use! I will advise, though, not to mix the systems. This is a common belief for good reason; you would not mix two different languages in a sentence.

Symbol of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra : a hearse, sword, a two faced man

(20°00' Aquarius-03°20' Pisces)

the vehicle carrying a dead body symbolizes our journey of departure from this lifetime and the entering the next one. The two faced man indicates that during the time of death a soul is looking into the life that just ended--the past, while simultaneously looking into the next life--the future; it also represents someone with the ability to see both side of the things or someone who is simply two faced or someone who conceals the dark side of themselves from the world. The sword represent eradicating lies in order to know the truth or cutting all ties & attachments to our former life before entering the next one. Altogether, it shows that we must let got of our past identities at some point & embrace destruction and transformation

[sunmoonstarsflowers]

I am getting in nakshatras gradually and I'm realizing that the interpretation of almost every nakshatra is kinda dark...? Or atleast serious. Of course, in the end, we're talking about occult but I feel like all the nakshatra are more dark, relates more to the 8th and 12th houses, as in our shadows and our spirituality.

Mythic, Divine, Godly, and Religious Objects

As always, process recorded for me and published for others, and my disclaimer is in my bio.

Recently, I received an ask regarding the mythic asteroid Aphrodite [1388] conjunct the Ascendant. I thought I'd explain my process for interpreting charts and placements within them, starting with how I define and differentiate mythic objects. If you are confused or curious about my perspective, you can refer to this post.

What makes an object...

🌟 MYTHIC

Mythic objects are asteroids and minor objects that signify a story or an element from a story of myth, legend, or religion, which the astrologer need not necessarily follow, believe in, or practice.

For example, Orpheus [3361] and Eurydike [75] are figures of Hellenic myth. You don't have to practice Hellenic paganism to refer to them as mythic objects. Regardless of your beliefs, you will find Eurydike to represent disappearances, romantic distance, and the tragic muse, and Orpheus to represent grief, obsession, and the tragic artist. Read more on interpreting Orpheus and Eurydike here.

🌟 DIVINE

Divine objects are mythic asteroids and minor objects that signify a cosmic power, spiritual process, or holy place which is significant to the astrologer's faith.

For example, near any spiritual astrologer could refer to Spirit [37452] and treat it as a divine object, as near all religions have a concept that falls in line with that of 'spirit' or a 'spirit'. Thus, it's appropriate to use as such on near all occasions. However, asteroid Karma [3811] should only be interpreted as a divine object for those who incorporate Hindu concepts of karma into their faith. Non-Hindu astrologers can refer to it, but should do so as a mythic object.

🌟 GODLY

Godly objects are divine asteroids and minor objects that signify the intervention of a specific deity, group of deities, or other named figure which the astrologer worships and which hypothetically possesses its own unique will and perspective.

For example, Christians would treat Christ-related objects as godly and the same for Hindus, pagans to their various pantheons, etc. For objects of dubious divinity, it relies even more so on personal beliefs. For example, asteroid Lucifer [1932] is only a godly object to an astrologer who practices devil worship. The asteroids of the saints would only be considered godly if a Christian treats them as conduits for the Christian god. Otherwise, one should treat the object in question as a mythic object, as described above. Read about how to identify your own prominent godly objects here.

🌟 RELIGIOUS

Religious objects are fundamentally different as they are asteroids and minor objects that function as symbols of religious institutions, rather than the faith, or the stories for which faith is held.

Religious objects may double as mythic or even divine objects, depending on the context of the reading, but not necessarily. For example, the asteroid Holiday [365443] may be used in a spiritual reading in tandem with a Godly or Mythic asteroid to refer to a specific holiday - perhaps using the aspects between the latter object and the former. However, it can also represent, independently, the existence of holidays in general, regardless of to whom the days are holy. Another example would be Church [10343]. It is obviously a religious object, regardless of your faith. But if one is raised Catholic and has a prominent asteroid Peter [1716], it may also serve the purpose of a mythic asteroid, for he founded the church.

My next posts will be on finding mythic, divine, and godly objects prominent for you based on their type.

Keep an eye out, and I hope this was useful to even a few of you! Thanks for reading ♡♡♡♡♡♡

A GENUINE NAKSHATRA QUESTION.

What is the relationship with shatabhisha and mirror. 🪞??

I mean I don't know why but whenever I hear or see mirror, shatabhisha is the nakshtra that comes to my mind instantly. ♒️✨️🦋

What do you think? Do you guys feel the same? What could be the reason? What's the relationship? 🤔🤳

[prala]

Ancient cultures — like the Egyptians, Persians, Vedic Indians, Essenes, and Mayans — have always relied upon the sidereal system. They considered it more accurate since it is based on an actual link between the time of birth and the natural world as opposed to a theoretical position like (Placidus) based on the seasons of the earth.

Turns out that Western Astrology is a bit off on their Sun Sign dates. Western Astrology has been using the same start date on the Spring Equinox with Aries on March 21st since Rome fell and are now off 24 days.

✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺

In Vedic Astrology the Sun Sign dates start one day later every 72 years because of the earth’s wobbling thru the precession of the polar axis.

To find your signs you need to know the time you were born and where you were born as everything is measured by your first breath. When you clock into this human world there is a particular vibration and energy field happening and that’s what everything is based on🦉

DOES MY FIRST PROBLEMATIC PREGNANCY HAS ANY RELATION WITH ASTROLOGY, A CASE STUDY, A CASE STUDY

QUESTION ASKED : I experienced a problematic first pregnancy due to chromosomal abnormalities that we had to end. My DOB is 15/01/1995 at 17:25 in Skopje, Macedonia. Can it be related to some aspects from astrology?

MY ANALYSIS : The native wants to know that her first pregnancy was problematic and if it has any relation with astrology.

Based on the given birth details DOB 15-01-1995 at 17:25 PM in Skopje, Macedonia and the analysis is done as per KP vedic astrology padhatti / system.

The plotted horoscope shows kark lagna / cancer ascendant with mars in 2nd house, rahu in 4th house, venus n Jupiter in 5th house, mercury n sun in 7th house, Saturn in 8th house, ketu in 10th house and moon in 12th house.

The moon is in aridha nakshatra in Mithun rashi / moon in gemini sign and the current ruling mahadasha is Saturn.

In order to learn about child birth of the native as per her horoscope, one need to study the 5th cuspal sublord. The study of the current ruling mahadasha will reveal how the dasha lords are going to give their results on the events in the life of the native during their ruling periods.

From the horoscope the 5th cuspal sublord is mercury and its strongly signifying 7 and 12th house as its untenanted in the planet level as well as in the sublord level and moon signifying 1 and 12th house in the nakshatra level.

The current ruling mahadasha is Saturn and its 7,8 and 9th house in the planet level, rahu strongly signifying 4,5 and 11th house as it is in own nakshatra in the nakshatra level and venus signifying 4,5 and 11th house in the sublord level.

Venus is in conjunction with Jupiter signifying 5 and 6th house.

From the analysis I conclude that the native cannot give birth in normal way as child birth is not a promise in her horoscope. The native should take a note of it and consult good doctors of the concern field and seek their guidance.

WHAT IS VEDIC ASTROLOGY? – THE ORIGINS OF VEDIC ASTROLOGY

What is Vedic Astrology? it also known as Jyotish, is an ancient system of astrology that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It is a form of astrology that emphasizes the connection between the individual and the cosmos, and the influence of the planets and stars on our lives. Vedic Astrology is based on the Sidereal Zodiac, which takes into account the position of the planets and stars at the time of an individual’s birth. This system is also deeply rooted in Hinduism, with many of its practices and beliefs being closely tied to Vedic texts and teachings. Vedic Astrology is unique in its approach, as it not only provides insights into an individual’s personality and life path but also offers guidance on how to navigate life’s challenges and achieve success and fulfillment. Over the centuries, Vedic Astrology has continued to evolve and adapt to modern times, making it a valuable tool for those seeking spiritual guidance and insight into their lives.
