Vedic Astrology Observations

in my previous post, i had mentioned how Uttarashada natives love grandness and glamour. the more i look into it, the more i see these natives indulge in that old world, royaltycore aesthetic. its always go big or go home for them

Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is known for his splashy period dramas with elaborate costumes and grand set designs has Ketu in Uttarashada

Fan Bingbing who is known for her glamorous and eclectic style has Ketu in Uttarashada (she also has her moon in Revati, another nakshatra that really loves glamour)

Kim Taehyung, who is also known for his preference for vintage glamour has Mercury & Mars in Uttarashada (he also has his moon and ketu in Revati)

Dilraba Dilmurat is another celebrity who is known for her extravagant style (chinese actresses in general have a very regal, extravagant style) and she has Revati Mars as her atmakaraka (her moon is in Punarvasu, a nak known for its girly style)

2. someone previously made a post about how mrigashira natives often play the "bimbo" in movies and ive observed that this also corresponds to real life, where a lot of mrig natives are perceived to be ditzy airheads or for saying crazy insane stuff. i believe its the mars influence that makes these natives speak hastily without much thought.

(Mrigashira moon Rachel McAdams playing Regina George in Mean Girls)

Sonam Kapoor, the bollywood actress is known in the Indian media for being a ditzy airhead 🤣and she has a Mrigashira stellium

Jordan Peterson and Kanye West are both Mrigashira moon natives and they're known for saying the most batshit crazy stuff.

3. ive noticed that many filmmakers who have prominent Uttarashada placements often explore loneliness and isolation or a lack of belonging in their movies. UA being the only nakshatra to possess a mongoose yoni which means its the only nakshatra without a yoni consort could be why these natives are so desperate for connection yet lacking it.

Shunji Iwai, has UA sun, mercury and ketu (a still from his movie Love Letter)

Jim Jarmusch has UA sun and mercury. All his movies are about loneliness and being an "outsider" in one way or another.

Philip Kaufman has Uttarashada moon. Intensely sexual but unbearably lonely.

Murakami who is known for how melancholic and lonely his books are (albeit strange and wonderfully weird) has Uttarashada sun

Another very common theme is how many Uttarashada natives have strange sexual desires, weird kinks and a perverse or odd sexual life/appetite. If you're familiar with Murakami, I need not explain further xD

4. Venusian natives often allude to Venusian imagery, specifically the Birth of Venus by Botticelli in their works.

Cardi B has Revati moon (venus is exalted in pisces) and here she is wearing Thierry Mugler's Birth of Venus dress to the Grammys.

Uma Thurman (from "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen") has Bharani Sun & Saturn and Purvaphalguni Ketu and here she is playing the Goddess herself!

Aishwarya Rai has Purvaashada moon and she is wearing a dress by Gaurav Gupta that references Venus.

Lady Gaga (from her Applause mv) she has Revati Venus Atmakaraka, as we know Venus is exalted in Pisces and Venus in Revati is considered it's best position. I suggest watching the MV since its rife with pisces imagery :-)

Beyonce has Purvaphalguni sun and the deity of Purvaphalguni is Bhaga, the god of marital bliss. Beyonce's interpretation of the Birth of Venus features her with her twin babies and babies signify the consummation of a marriage, thereby making this a uniquely Purvaphalgunian take on the original.

5. This is a no-brainer but mermaids in cinema are often played by Pisces rashi natives.

Halle Bailey is a UBP sun. Lin Yun is UBP moon and saturn with Revati Ketu. Esther Williams who did a string of aquamusicals in the 1950s has Ketu in Revati.

Sade has Revati Moon & Ketu and plays a mermaid in her most popular song's mv.

Samantha Morton has UBP moon, Venus/Mars/Ketu in Revati and she plays a mermaid in U2's Electrical Storm MV.

7. (TW: sexual assault, incest)

The nakshatra most often associated with incest is Rohini and Mrigashira but I would say Ashlesha also features these themes. Growing up in a very controlling household with a cold/controlling mother figure is a huge theme in the lives of Ashlesha natives.

in Donkey Skin (1970) Catherine Deneuve plays a princess who takes the form of a donkey in order to escape from her father, the king who wishes to marry her because she looks just like her mother. This is quite literally the story of Rohini, who was Lord Brahma's favourite daughter, and he was attracted to her. Rohini sensed this and took the form of a deer and ran away. Lord Brahma subsequently assumed the form of a stag and chased her across the heavens. When Rudra found out what was happening he cut off the head of the stag. The stag’s head became the symbol of the nakshatra of Mrigashira. As we can see Rohini & Mrigashira's mythology is deeply intertwined.

Catherine Deneuve has Ashlesha moon and Mars in Mrigashira as her atmakaraka (her Saturn is also placed in Mrigashira and is her darakaraka).

If you watch the movie, you can see how its overloaded with astrological symbolism (its based on a fairytale, so thats not surprising)

the color blue is used throughout the first half of the film when the princess is in her own kingdom, traditionally blue is associated with Saturn. Shani/saturn is our karma, which teaches us things the hard way. The princess (unwillingly) has to leave the comfort of her palace and kingdom, assume the form of a donkey and go work as a pig-keeper. She loses everything she has ever known and has to work her way up from scratch, this is a typical Saturnian journey and most people experience this during their Saturn return (Saturnian folks experience this all their lives).

the color red is used throughout the second half of the movie, in association with the Prince's kingdom. Red is typically associated with Sun and Mars in vedic astrology. as the princess works out her karma and integrates her shadow, she blossoms into a fully integrated individual, this means she has cultivated her identity and the strength to act upon it. from a passive, weak willed princess in her father's castle, who was willing to marry her father due to her fear of hurting him by refusing to do so, she transforms into someone who moulds her own fate through her own actions. (Sun + Mars)

The fact that she assumes the form of a Donkey, itself is very symbolic. Donkeys, in vedic astrology is often the vehicle of Gods. Therefore, it serves as the door that governs her transition from passivity to individuation.

the Prince saw her for her true nature, although everyone around was convinced that she's just a filthy, hideous Donkey Skin clad servant. When the Prince slips her ring back on to her finger, she transforms back into her original self (true love is a mirror that reminds us of who we really are and gives us the courage to shed our worldly personas). The dress she wears then, is a golden one, originally given to her by her father when she said she wanted a dress "like the sun". Yellow is associated with Jupiter. After enduring the trials of Saturn, the Princess who became Donkey Skin, once again becomes a Princess, except now she has freedom. Saturn's teachings guide us to Jupiter's blessings. The movie's ending showing us that once the Princess had successfully overcome her trials and now embraced her true nature.

𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐒    𝐀𝐍𝐃    𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑    𝐎𝐃𝐃𝐋𝐘    𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂    𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒.

What    does    your    muse    smell    like    ?  Aurora    is    fixated    upon    scents    and    she    collects    expensive    perfumes.    Her    all    time    favourite    perfume    is    Roses    N’    Roses    by    Dior.    So,    she    mostly    smells    like    grasse    and    damascus    roses    with    geranium.    She    wears    J’adore    hair    mist    in    her    hair    so    it    smells    like    jasmines,    Indian    jasmines,    ylang-ylang,    and    damascus    roses.    Aurora    also    applies    quite    a    lot    of    flower    scented    lotions    and    wears    a    strawberry    scented    shampoo    in    her    hair.    She    is    pretty    sensitive    to    smells    so    she    always    smells    like    a    flower    garden    in    full    bloom.    The    scent    tends    to    be    pretty    overpowering    and    can    be    obnoxious.    She    never    smells    bad    because    she    can’t    bear    bad    smells.    Even    clothes    she    would    discard    to    be    washed    are    never    dirty    and    always    smell    wonderful.         What    do    your    muse’s    hands    feel    like    ? Immensely    soft    to    the    touch.    She    has    never    seen    a    day’s    worth    of    hard    labour    in    her    life    and    not    even    years    of    violin    training    had    given    her    any    calluses    due    to    proper    training.    They    are    quite    small    so    they    always    seem    to    be    fitting    in    the    other’s    hands.    They    are    nice    to    hold,    warm    and    soft    with    delicate    skin    due    to    proper    moisturizing. What    does    your    muse    usually    eat    in    a    day    ? Aurora    cannot    eat    as    soon    as    she    wakes    up,    she    usually    has    water    and    tea    in    the    morning.    A    few    hours    later,    she    has    a    proper    brunch    with    sunny    side    up    eggs,    toasted    sandwiches,    waffles,    and    other    hearty    breakfast    food.    In    between    brunch    and    dinner    she    whips    up    one    of    her    special    sunny    side    up    toasted    sandwiches,    with    an    onion    gravy    filling.    Messy    but    she    adores    it.    At    dinner,    there    is    always    a    proper    meal.    Even    if    take    out    is    ordered,    it    would    be    a    proper    meal.    Aurora    is    finnicky    about    the    hours    she    eats    as    she    can’t    eat    if    she    is    even    a    bit    full    but    if    she    skips    meals,    she    gets    in    a    bad    mood    and    begins    crying. Does    your    muse    have    a    good    singing    voice    ? Of    course     !        By    profession,    Aurora    is    a    singer.    She    has    an    ethereal    voice    that    has    a    siren    like    quality    to    it.    She    has    been    singing    professionally    since    she    was    seventeen.    First    as    the    main    vocalist    for    a    pop    girl    group    called    Saturn,    then    the    vocalist    for    a    pop    rock    band    Svnrise,    and    now    the    singer    for    a    pop    duo    Aura.    Listen    to    her    singing    vc    here. Does    your    muse    have    any    bad    habits    or    nervous    ticks    ? Oh,    absolutely    !        Many    !        When    it    comes    to    bad    habits,    Aurora    is    a    serial    nail    biter.    She    has    been    chewing    on    her    nails    since    she    could,    her    parents    could    never    get    rid    of    this    habit.    She    has    terrible    sleeping    habits,    she    has    stayed    up    at    night    since    she    was    a    toddler.    I    am    not    sure    if    it    comes    in    bad    habits,    but    she    cracks    her    knuckles    a    lot    by    bending    her    fingers    backwards    ?        Her    nervous    ticks    are    that    she    is    fidgety    and    bounces    her    feet    or    taps    her    pen.    She    also    bites    on    her    nails    when    nervous,    chews    on    her    lips,    or    paces    around. What    does    your    muse    usually    look    like    /    wear    ? High    maintenance,    Aurora    is    always    dressed    to    impress.    Perfect    hair    with    the    perfect    outfit    and    the    perfect    accessories.    Aurora    is,    and    does    exude,    model    vibes.    She    is    always    dressed    in    luxury    brands.    What    could    be    considered    dressed    up,    is    her    ordinary    and    she    would    be    seen    shopping    for    milk    in    chanel.    She    does    not    wear    makeup    on    the    usual    but    her    skin    is    always    glowy    due    to    regular    dermatologist    visits.    However,    she    wears    an    excessive    amount    of    blush    and    highlighter    and    some    lipstick    for    her    daily    use.    She    wears    bows    in    her    hair    or    wears    them    in    cute    styles. Her    fashion    style    is    more    feminine.    Whether    desi    or    western    fashion,    she    prefers    a    princess    look.    Dior    is    her    go    to    brand.    She    wears    a    lot    of    tulle    and    silk.    Sometimes    dresses    with    flowery    patterns.    The    style    is    always    fairy    tale    princess    with    dramatic    flowy    skirts    and    sparkles    /    glimmer.    There    is    a    dramatic    touch    to    her    clothes.    She    wears    jewelry    a    lot    which    also    varies    between    desi    and    western    with    expensive    yet    delicate    earrings    or    jhumkas,    She    always    wears    heels,    mostly    stilettos,    pumps,    and    ankle    straps.    Her    aesthetic    is    a    mixture    of    royaltycore,    cottagecore,    and    light    academia.    Her    fashion    pinterest    board    is    here.     Is    your    muse    affectionate    ?        How    much    ?        How    so    ? Remarkably    affectionate.    Aurora    thrives    in    affection.    With    her    loved    ones,    she    does    not    stifle    this    emotion.    Not    even    a    bit.    She    is    the    type    to    showcase    her    affection.    Mostly    seen    by    buying    gifts    or    taking    care    and    even    remembering    small    details    about    those    she    loves.    Though,    she    may    not    be    great    at    verbal    affection    with    friends    as    it    usually    has    a    joke    attached    to    it,    she    is    very    physically    affectionate.    Linking    arms,    hair    ruffles,    piggy    back    rides,    cheek    and    forehead    kisses,    and    other    sorts    of    affection.    Cuddles    are    also    greatly    appreciated.    With    her    romantic    partner,    her    boyfriend    Tida,    Aurora    does    not    know    the    limits    of    affection.    It    is    very    easy    for    her    to    praise    him    and    profess    her    love    in    a    poetic    manner,    she    also    finds    great    joy    in    constantly    being    close    to    him.    So    she    may    be    found    squirming    her    way    into    his    arms    or    sitting    on    his    lap.    Any    skin    available    is    kissed.    Innocent    public    displays    of    affection    do    not    worry    her. What    position    does    your    muse    sleep    in    ? When    sleeping    alone,    Aurora    tends    to    sleep    in    strange    and    awkward    positions.    Most    commonly    one    where    her    arm    is    underneath    her    head    and    she    is    nearly    on    her    stomach    with    her    arms    and    legs    stretched    out.    When    cuddling    with    her    boyfriend,    she    is    either    the    little    spoon    with    the    previous    position    or    she    would    turn    around    and    have    her    limbs    be    covering    him    instead.    Often    they    also    fall    asleep    face    to    face    with    limbs    tangled.    Sometimes    she    gets    to    sleep    on    top    of    his    chest.    Her    favourite    may    be    when    he    has    his    head    resting    on    top    of    her    chest.     Could    you    hear    your    muse    in    the    hallway    from    another    room    ? Always     !        For    one    reason    or    another.    Notably,    her    loud    laughs    and    squealing    as    she    makes    a    terrible    joke    or    laughs    at    something    someone    had    said.    With    the    sort    of    shenanigans    she    is    into,    always    expect    to    hear    her    from    down    the    hallway    as    she    may    be    in    the    middle    of    some    mischief. tagged    by:        @ofgentleresolve​,    thank    you    !     tagging:        @f8less​​,    @proditeur​​,    @lovestaind​​​,    @manticxre​​,    and    everyone    else    !
