“Self-esteem isn’t everything; it’s just that there’s nothing without it”

-Gloria Steinem

Your self-esteem level can be precarious. It can go up or down at any point depending on such things like whether you’re late to work, how your day is progressing, or what your boss just said to you. One minute you can be on top of the world and the next minute shot down to the depths of self-doubt.

It’s no wonder that your self-esteem must be nurtured, but sometimes it’s hard to figure out how to do it in a way that’s best for you. Self-talk is the answer! What you say to yourself can make the difference between success and failure.

Unfortunately, people tend to be their own worst critics. This just means that you’re more likely to be much harder on yourself for making a mistake than you would be for a family member or even a stranger. This doesn’t have to be the way you treat yourself.

When you talk to yourself, say something you want to hear! Encourage and congratulate yourself even for the little things. When your self-talk is positive, your self-esteem can soar and you can maintain a healthy self-esteem through anything life can throw at you.

Eliminate the Negative

The first thing you’ll want to do is analyze your current self-talk patterns. What are you saying to yourself?

Identify the instances where you’re negative. You might be telling yourself that you can’t accomplish something. You may be beating yourself up because you made a mistake. Or you may just be generally discouraging to yourself. Those negative patterns are wake up calls for you to start talking to yourself with tender loving care.

In order to raise your self-esteem, you must first erase your negative self-talk. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt, and start treating yourself with understanding. If you feel like you haven’t accomplished enough, shift your focus over to what you have accomplished.

At the end of the day, you’ll begin to feel proud of yourself instead of discouraged. It’s just one step closer to being happy and comfortable with who you are!

Be Positive

After you’ve identified where you’ve been negative in your life, you can concentrate on the positive aspects. You have opportunities all the time to treat yourself right, and you can take advantage of them with the help of positive self-talk.

Action Assignment:

1. Congratulate yourself. When you’ve done a job well, take the time to congratulate yourself. It’s important to give yourself a pat on the back every now and then. Even if you haven’t accomplished anything huge, you’re certainly making progress. Reflect on how good it makes you feel.

2. Use affirmations. One way to bring positive energy into your life is to use positive affirmations. Affirmations are short positive statements that are written in the present tense. Say them to yourself often as a reminder of what a great person you are (because you are!).

* Affirmations have such a powerful ability to influence the mind that you should take advantage of them and practice with them every day.

3. Believe in yourself. Someone else can tell you that you’re good enough to accomplish anything, but it’ll never make a difference if you don’t believe it yourself. It’s the motivation and belief in yourself that will always pick you back up when you fall.

* Everyone deals with failure from time to time, but remember that it’s a learning experience too. Maybe you’ll learn something during a “failure” that gives you the knowledge to finally succeed. Consider it a gift in disguise!

When you take the time to be positive and patient with yourself every day, you’ll raise your self-esteem. Allow yourself to be human, focus on the positive, and you’ll go far.

“Every moment of resistance to temptation is a victory.” – Frederick W. Faber

“Commitment is the enemy of resistance, for it is the serious promise to press on, to get up, no matter how many times you are knocked down.” – David McNally

Resistance – what an interesting word! Is resistance good or bad? What should we resist, but what shouldn’t we? Resistance covers the whole gamut from political actions to being in a sales situation to social interactions to our own reactions to what we encounter in our thinking, our approach to life, our goals and on and on.

I decided to make some lists (lists are always a help and if we write them out by hand, they will be more beneficial). Divide your paper into three columns, or create a table with three columns. In the first column, list “What I Should Resist (doing, saying, thinking).” In the second column, list “What I Shouldn’t Resist (doing, saying, thinking).” And, in the third column, list the action that you are going to take to help rectify either column one and/or column two (which can relate to each other, if you wish).

These columns will be personal, and for your eyes only. Post the sheet where you can refer to it the beginning of every day, and you will be well pleased with your progress. Below, I am going to share a few of my examples:

Column #1:

Resist playing my favorite computer games, instead of doing productive work.

Resist using my credit cards for unnecessary purchases (and most are unnecessary).

Resist staying in bed early in the morning when the alarm goes off instead of exercising.

Column #2:

Shouldn’t resist computer projects that are challenging.

Shouldn’t resist cutting up my credit cards, or paying the full monthly balance.

Shouldn’t resist jumping up early to exercise at least an hour before starting my day.

Column #3 (action):

Set aside only 30 minutes at the end of the day for playing a couple of computer games.

Cut up all my credit cards except the one where I pay the full balance each month.

Get up early and exercise.

You get the idea. Now, let me share a few of the great quotations I found about resistance:

“You have to dream, you have to have a vision, and you have to set a goal for yourself that might even scare you a little because sometimes that seems far beyond your reach. Then I think you have to develop a kind of resistance to rejection, and to the disappointments that are sure to come your way.” – Gregory Peck
“The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger
“You increase muscle bulk by training against resistance. For example, weights.” – Deborah Bull
“The first resistance to social change is to say it’s not necessary.” – Gloria Steinem

What about the “path of least resistance”:

“The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.” – H. G. Wells
“Try to find the path of least resistance and use it without harming others. Live with integrity and morality, not only with people but with all beings.” – Steven Seagal

Even though I have many more great quotations, I will leave you with this one. Robert Conklin wrote, “Resistance is thought transformed into feeling. Change the thought that creates the resistance, and there is no more resistance.”

The Nakshatras are 27 constellations in the sky measuring 13 degrees 20 minutes each. This is the most ancient of zodiacs, mentioned in texts long before mention of Rasis.

Basis Above and Basis Below:

The basis above is what is in the mind of the deity of the Nakshatra when thinking about life upon earth. The basis below is the natural consequence, or how that mindset manifests when living upon earth. It is not what is consciously in the mind of a person, it is the natural predisposition and what grows from this natural predisposition.

Shakti:

Shakti is the power inherent in the Nakshatra and the power in the mind of the individual. This power is innate and does not need conscious interference or will power. It is as innate as the color of one’s eyes even if the native is not aware of it.

The Nakshatras

Ashwini

“Owning horses”

0 – 13°20 Aries

Deities: Ashwini Kumaras

Symbol: the horse’s head

Shakti: power to reach things quickly

Basis Above: creatures to be healed

Basis Below: healing therapies

Result: freedom from disease

Ashwini natives are swift and are able to travel at high speeds. They are natural healers and being in their presence in soothing. They are good listeners and will make excellent therapists and psychologists. This is an animal Nakshatra so there is an affinity for animals, especially horses. They also have an affinity for vehicles. Ashwini people usually reach lofty heights in their chosen profession but not though ambition. Roy Rogers, the cowboy actor, has his natal Moon here and he was featured in over one hundred movies with his Palamino and German Shepherd. Peter Fonda, the lead in “Easy Rider”, also is an Ashwini native. The chopper was his metal stallion carrying him swiftly across the United States.

Bharani

“To bear”

13°20 – 26°40 Aries

Deity: Yama, the god of death

Symbol: vagina

Shakti: power to take things away

Basis Above: removal of life from the body

Basis Below: carry the soul to the realm of the ancestors

Result: Moving on to the next world

Bharani people are obsessed with death and/or transformation. Their power lies in taking things away. As long as the things taken away are negative or counterproductive, then the Bharani person works in line with the universe. For example, if one has a brain tumor, a Bharani surgeon will effectively be able to take it away. Garbage needs to be taken away. Psychologically, negative attitudes and self-defeating habits need to be taken away so that the person can better themselves. The vagina, as the symbol of Bharani, takes away the semen to produce another life, it takes away the vital essence of one being to create another. As a side note, Jim Morrison had his Moon in Bharani. Did you see the movie, “The Doors”? Throughout the entire movie, he spoke about and was obsessed with the subject of death. Many of his songs were about death.

Krittika

“Razor/cutter”

26°40 Aries – 10°00 Taurus

Deity: Agni, the god of fire

Symbol: A razor or sharp blade

Shakti: To burn

Basis Above: Heat

Basis Below: Light

Result: Burning and purification

Krittika is also a transformative Nakshatra. Fire is the most purifying substance known. Krittika people are fiery, courageous and able to cut away the unnecessary to achieve their goals. Frida Kahlo had her Moon in Krittika and her art is filled with images of cut flesh and even a self-portrait of cutting her own hair. There are myths associated with Agni, the god of fire that tell of high sexual passion and illicit affairs with other married individuals, note that Katherine Hepburn’s Moon is also under the sway of Krittika and her 25 year affair with the married Spencer Tracy was hardly a secret.

Rohini

“The growing” or “the red”

10°00 – 23°20 Taurus

Deity: Prajapati, lord of creation

Symbol: an ox cart

Shakti: growth

Basis Above: plants

Basis Below: waters

Result: creation

Rohini is a soft, tender nakshatra. This was the favorite wife of the Moon. The deity, Prajapati is a creative deity, presiding over theatrical art, dancing and music and all growth. Rohini, as the favorite wife of the Moon, was highly talented in these arts as well as highly skilled in making love. In Vedic myth, the Moon stayed with Rohini to the detriment of his other wives because of her beauty grace and charm. The father of the brides, Daksha, cursed the Moon, so now he waxes and wanes as he visits all of his wives. Rohini people make wonderful dancers, Fred Astaire has his natal Moon here. Rohini people are concerned with growth, note that Sigmund Freud, doing research into the growing mind of the individual from babyhood, through toddler years, revolved an entire thesis around how the perceptual mind grows in psychology.

Mrigashira

“the deer’s head” “hunting”

23°20 Taurus – 6°40 Gemini

Deity: Soma, god of immortality

Symbol: deer’s head

Shakti: the power to give fulfillment

Basis Above: to extend

Basis Below: weaving

Result: Making the world enjoyable

Mrigashira individuals search within the creation for satiation and usually find it. They extend themselves into creation, weaving a pattern of karmas, but these desires to be fulfilled are benign and the motivation behind them is to enjoy the creation. Mrigashira individuals are charming, changeable, timid, and impulsive. They like to hunt for the objects of their desires. The house placement of the Moon as well as any planets conjunct the Moon in Mrigashira will give clues as to what the native is hunting. Mrigashira is an animal Nakshatra, so there is a natural love of animals and nature unless planets are severely afflicted here. Also, as a side note, Mrigashira people often have big, beautiful, doe-like eyes. An example is Brooke Shields and Goldie Hawn who both have their Moons in this asterism.

Ardra

“the moist one”

6°40 – 20°00 Gemini

Deity: Rudra, the storm-god

Symbol: a teardrop

Shakti: the power of effort

Basis Above: to hunt or search

Basis Below: reach the goal

Result: achievement

Rudra, the god of Ardra, is a form of Shiva. Shiva is very unconventional and heretical in his actions and views, so Ardra people are inclined to be the same way. The symbol is a teardrop, so high emotion is associated with this asterism. Often Ardra individuals will be moved to tears, and since Shiva is the god of destruction and suffering, often Ardra people will suffer for what they want and to achieve their goals. In order to reach the goal, there is suffering and destruction of some sort along the way. Ardra’s planetary ruler is Rahu, showing an obsessive, strong desire nature. Ardra natives can make their goals their obsessions, giving a powerful impetus for success, however if they do not have a beneficial and healthy goal, they can fall into addictions. Janis Joplin and Farrah Fawcett have their natal Moons placed here. The sad story of Janis Joplin’s addictions ruining her after she achieved great success is well known.

Punarvasu

“return to goodness and light”

20°00 Gemini – 3°20 Cancer

Deity: Aditi, mother of the gods

Symbol: a quiver of arrows

Shakti: the power of wealth or substance

Basis Above: wind, air

Basis Below: wetness, rain

Result: producing herbs and trees

Aditi, the mother goddess, is beyond form and boundless. She is goddess of space and also of the earth. Like the goddess, Punarvasu people love freedom and expansion. The have the natural ability to create wealth and prosperity. They have many resources from which to draw upon, represented by the quiver of arrows. They like to store and retain their creations and energy instead of spending it. They have a strong sense of virtue and of right and wrong. The ability to resurrect a failing marriage or career, or regain self-respect, prosperity or income is a natural talent among these natives. The person may become overly enamored of material well being and use it for selfish reasons, but will always return to the balanced, correct path. David Hasselhoff has his Moon here and has been through many rehabilitations for alcohol related problems and he also knows that his actions are self-defeating and seeks out help to renew himself.

Pushya

“nourishing” “the flower”

3°20 – 16°40 Cancer

Deity: Brihaspati, teacher of the devas (divine beings, gods)

Symbol: udder of a cow

Shakti: the power to create spiritual energy

Basis Above: sacrificial worship

Basis Below: the worshipper

Result: possessing spiritual knowledge and energy

Brihaspati as the lord of Pushya rules knowledge and Pushya natives tend to be professionals in their field and quite knowledgeable. They will nourish anything they come into contact with and make it grow and thrive. As a result, this Nakshatra has the reputation of being the most auspicious Nakshatra. Luck naturally comes the way of the Pushya person. Prosperity and wealth are also attributes that seem to bless the life of the native of Pushya. Learning and mental energy are favored by this Nakshatra. Clint Eastwood, Joe Montana and Gloria Steinem all have their natal Moons in Pushya. All three of these individuals are extremely learned and fortunate in their respective fields.

Ashlesha

“entwiner” “embracer”

16°40 – 30°00 Cancer

Deity: Sarpas, the deified serpents

Symbol: a coiled serpent

Shakti: the power to inflict with poison

Basis Above: the approach of the serpent

Basis Below: agitation or trembling

Result: destruction of the victim

Ashlesha natives entwine or embrace that which they desire. They have a hypnotic, sensual, undulating quality which can metaphorically paralyze the object of their gaze. The poison they inflict can be to destroy or an ambrosial nectar that will bring about illusions within the recipient. They do not have the magnetic, charismatic qualities to sway the masses, usually their hypnotic powers work best on a one to one basis. Snakes are representative of the kundalini energy so this asterism has intense mystical power. The sarpas inhabit the underworld, so the Ashlesha native will be fascinated by the hidden, occult, deeply psychological areas of life. They are also akin to snakes as they periodically shed their skin and go through many transformations in life. Examples of Ashlesha natives are Marilyn Manson where the fascination with the dark side of life is quite apparent. Barbara Streisand is also a native with an Ashlesha moon. As a worthy note, Ashlesha rules fingernails; she possesses these in abundance and they are world famous.

Magha

“the great one”

0 – 13°20 Leo

Deity: The Pitris, the deified ancestors

Symbol: throne room, royal court

Shakti: the power to leave the body

Basis Above: mourning

Basis Below: leaving the body

Result: death

This Nakshatra is a very fated Nakshatra. These natives are highly relegated by what their ancestors have done and the desires of their ancestors. This Nakshatra has as its basis above, mourning, which above all is an awareness in the consciousness that things must be let go of and moved past. There are several phases in life that the person will move through and many people and situations they will be obliged to let go of. In the mythology of this Nakshatra, the Pitris live on the Moon, which represents that the ancestors are connected to our genetic make-up and guiding the destiny because of the link with consciousness. Because of the connection to the “throne room” and royal court, Magha natives often obtain a high level of success and fame in life. Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin have their natal Moon in this asterism.

Purva Phalguni

“the former red one”

13°20 – 26°40 Leo

Deity: Bhaga, the god of wealth, especially inherited wealth

Symbol: legs of a cot

Shakti: the power to procreate

Basis Above: the wife, female partner

Basis Below: the husband, male partner

Result: the creation of a living being

All Purva Nakshatras deal with tremendous creative and conceptual powers. The Uttara Nakshatras are the natural follow up as they make the ideas and concepts into tangible results. Purva Phalguni is a highly creative Nakshatra with many artists and musicians as its natives. There is a predisposition to being overly sensual and fascinated by sexuality. These natives seem to create something of value while in partnership, not necessarily romantic partnership. When they create alone, it is most often unbalanced. There is a strong thirst for direct experience and a need to have concepts recognized. At one time the most famous woman in the world, Madonna, has her natal Moon here. Madonna’s fascination with sexuality and artistic talents are well known. Most of her documented life she has been one half of a partnership.

Uttara Phalguni

“the latter red one”

26°40 Leo – 10°00 Virgo

Deity: Aryaman, god of chivalry and contracts

Symbol: a bed or a cot

Shakti: the power of wealth and accumulation through partnership

Basis Above: wealth obtained through one’s family

Basis Below: wealth obtained through the partner or partner’s family

Result: accumulation of wealth

Uttara Phalguni is an asterism that will take the concepts and ideas of the previous Nakshatra and turn them into tangible results. This is a wealth Nakshatra and the native is able to benefit greatly from the wealth of his family and the wealth of the partner if the Moon is unafflicted here. It does not necessarily mean that the native’s family is wealthy or that the partner is wealthy, but that the native benefits from these avenues of wealth. This is also a Nakshatra where partnerships are favored and anything created in a partnership will thrive and bring wealth. Examples of this wealth through partnership can be seen through the natives of Barbara Bach, the wife of Ringo Starr and Eva Braun, the chere amie of Hitler.

Hasta

“the hand”

10°00 – 23°20 Virgo

Deity: Savitar the Sun, giver of life

Symbol: a hand or fist

Shakti: the power to gain our desire and place it in our hand

Basis Above: seeking gain

Basis Below: obtaining the desire

Result: obtainment of wish and put in one’s hand

Hasta natives can acquire the objects of the desires in their consciousness. If their Moon is afflicted, they will be confused about what they want. The symbol is the hand, so these natives are naturally dexterous and highly skilled. The deity, Savitar, rules over the control of the mind that gives higher awareness and the necessary focus to obtain what we want. Out of divine inspiration, these natives will usually unselfishly create with their hands. Orville Wright has his natal Moon here. Savitar also rules mantras and divine words, so the Hasta native will have a good capacity for writing and speaking. Sylvia Plath, the tragic but incredibly talented poet, had her natal Moon here as well. Her Moon however, was very dim and in the 8th house, hence her poems were about death and transformation of the psyche.

Chitra

“the bright” “the distinguished”

23°20 Virgo – 6°40 Libra

Deity: Tvashtar or Vishvakarma, the celestial architect

Symbol: a shining jewel

Shakti: the power to accumulate merit

Basis Above: law

Basis Below: truth

Result: gain of honor in one’s work

Chitra natives have the brightest star on the ecliptic, Spica, illuminating their constellation, hence their name, “the Bright”. They like to shine in what they do and do it with a certain flair and magnetism. They also like to be completely responsible for their creations as the deity, Vishvakarma is the divine architect. Chitra natives try to do their best in everything they do and they are extremely motivated to follow their own Truth. They are bright, charismatic and usually powerful. If the Moon is severely afflicted, what they believe to be the Truth may be highly twisted, but they will still be motivated to follow their own personal path. These natives will have flashes of inspiration and will want to become self-realized. Righteous activity will result in accumulation of merit, the shakti of Chitra. Sylvester Stallone, Ted Turner and both George Bushes have their Moons in Chitra.

Swati

“the independent one”

6°40 – 20°00 Libra

Deity: Vayu, deified wind

Symbol: a young sprout swaying in the wind

Shakti: the power to scatter like the wind

Basis Above: movement in different directions

Basis Below: changing form

Result: transformation

Wind means change. Reflect upon the saying, “Winds of Change”. Swati natives take something and transform it. Their lives are characterized by much movement and change. They thrive upon this and get bored when things are stagnant. These natives have a pioneering spirit and are very independent. Because their shakti is to scatter like the wind, they will be adventurous and restless and love to travel. Wind governs speech and the communicative faculty, the vocal chords, so these native will have natural talents in speaking and singing. Vayu, the deity of this Nakshatra, is also lord of the celestial musicians, so these natives often love music or have talent in this area. Charles Chaplin, Miles Davis, a trumpet player of which blowing air is paramount, and Johnny Cash all have their Moons in this asterism.

Vishakha

“the forked one”

20°00 Libra – 3°20 Scorpio

Deities: Indra, two gods of lightning and fire

Symbol: leaf encrusted triumphal gateway

Shakti: the power to achieve many and various goals

Basis Above: to cultivate

Basis Below: the harvest

Result: fruits of the harvest

Vishakha, as a Jupiter ruled Nakshatra, is connected to divine spirit. These natives need to define spirituality for themselves or some kind of dharmic (purposeful) path must be put into place to guide their lives. These natives are also planners, they do not act impulsively. The inherent nature of cultivation and then reaping the harvest takes time, so these natives are very patient and persistent. They are multi-faceted and have many talents. They often will make good farmers and gardeners. Vishakha natives will cultivate their ideas and creations until they have reached perfection. The deities are ones of lightning and fire, so therefore are extremely intense and often will disregard others in their pursuit of their desire. Jimmy Carter, who was once a farmer and Jules Verne, who was both a writer of science fiction and a politician, both have their native Moons here.

Anuradha

“additional Radha”

3°20 – 16°40 Scorpio

Deity: Mitra, god of friendship, lord of compassion

Symbol: a lotus, archway

Shakti: the power of worship

Basis Above: to ascend

Basis Below: to descend

Result: Honor and abundance

Natives with Anuradha as their Nakshatra have a very fated path with regard to friends. Really good friends are naturally fated because they usually give us help when needed and boosts in career, finance, etc. Anuradha is also ruled by Saturn, the planet of fate. These natives usually take longer than usual to reach their goals and must go through many adversities in early life before they are able to come into their own as represented by the lotus. Honor and loyalty play a major role in their life as well. They are often very devoted to something, hence their shakti as power of worship. The worship does not have to be something spiritual, it can be a concept, a career, a person. The god Mitra, abhors violence and disputes, so these natives usually do not like passionate confrontations. This is a goal oriented Nakshatra and these natives reach their goals through the alliances they maintain with others. Bob Geldof, the instigator of the LiveAid concerts and Francis Ford Coppola have Anuradha as their Moons’ Nakshatra.

Jyeshtha

“the eldest”

16°40 – 30°00 Scorpio

Deity: Indra, king of gods, lord of storms

Symbol: earring, talisman

Shakti: the power to rise and conquer

Basis Above: to attack

Basis Below: to defend

Result: To gain supremacy among the gods

Jyeshtha, as all Nakshatras ruled by Mercury, is concerned with tangible results. As the eldest, and Indra as the deity, these people are fierce fighters and love a challenge. They are very powerful people and have the ability to rise above circumstances and become a hero. They tend to see life as a battle. Because Jyeshtha means the eldest, these people often hold positions of seniority and authority. There is very powerful sexual potency in this Nakshatra and these natives have a forceful impact on people and may be prone to adultery and illicit sexual encounters. Their sexual desire may cause them to seek fulfillment outside of their primary relationships. The Jyeshtha person can never be held down. Tiger Woods, Oprah Winfrey and Alexander the Great are some examples of Jyeshtha natives

Mula

“the root”

0 – 13°20 Sagittarius

Deity: Nirriti, goddess of misery

Symbol: tied up bunch of roots, lion’s tail

Shakti: the power to destroy or damage

Basis Above: to break

Basis Below: to crush

Result: destruction

Mula people like to take things apart, literally destroy them, before they create anything. Mula natives are focused on getting to the root of a concept, situation or thing so they inevitably must destroy most of the thing to get at its essence. Mula is a constellation at the middle of the Milky Way, so these natives become intensely interested in their object of study and penetrate the core of whatever it is that they are focused upon. They like to uncover secret knowledge. Because of the naturally difficult aspects of this Nakshatra, Mula natives are prone to experience utter loss and disappointment at some time in their lives. As this is happening, Nirriti will give a healing salve to those in distress. She is also protector of those people who are mentally and physically disabled The Mula person will confront fear and it will flee. A Mula person has an inner warrior that can confront anything. Prominent Mula people are Henri Matisse and Krishnamurti.

Purva Ashadha

“the former undefeated”

13°20 – 26°40 Sagittarius

Deity: Apas, goddess of waters

Symbol: a basket used for separating grain from the husk

Shakti: the power to invigorate or energize

Basis Above: strength

Basis Below: connection

Result: to gain the sea upon wishing for it

Purva Nakshatras, as mentioned before, are concerned with concepts and ideas. Purva Ashadha’s deity, Apas, is the goddess of waters. In this context it means water as flowing. Purva Ashadha people are invigorating and inspiring. They like to feel connected. Water is what invigorates us in the body. When we are dehydrated we feel de-energized and uninvigorated; flowing water remedies this. These people have great luster and charisma. They use their natural strength to bring people together for a cause. Because it is “the former undefeated”, these people tend to succeed quickly and success and victory. This is also a highly creative Nakshatra with a lot of sexual potency, so they tend to attract romantic partners and friends that help them win their goals. Other prominent people with this Nakshatra are Johnny Depp, Ernest Hemingway and Cher.

Uttara Ashadha

“the latter undefeated”

26°40 Sagittarius – 10°00 Capricorn

Deity: The Ten Vishvadevas, universal gods

Symbol: an elephant’s tusk

Shakti: the power to grant an unchallengeable victory

Basis Above: strength to win

Basis Below: the goal that one can win

Result: becomes the victor that can never lose

Uttara Ashadha also denotes victory. However, since this is “the latter undefeated”, these people tend to succeed later and have more patience and perseverance. Since it is Uttara, it is more concerned with tangible results than ideas and concepts. Many of these people take on incredible odds but are able to succeed anyway. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln have their Moons here. Uttara Ashadha people have an intense desire behind which they throw their strong will to achieve a victory that endures. They have leadership qualities and a natural diplomacy.

Shravana

“the ear”

10°00 – 23°20 Capricorn

Deity: Vishnu, the Pervader

Symbol: three footprints

Shakti: the power to connect

Basis Above: seeking

Basis Below: paths

Result: connection of all things

As “the ear” is representative of Shravana, hearing becomes very important for this Nakshatra. Hearing becomes what we think. These natives want to connect things and people, so what they hear becomes a means for connection. What they hear decides their path. You know the saying, “That sounds good”. This determines our decision when something sounds better than something else. This is also the Nakshatra of listening, so these natives make great listeners and develop a profound wisdom. Three footprints symbolize walking and traveling, so the Shravana person will like to walk, run and/or travel. Charles Manson has his Moon in this Nakshatra. He killed because he heard the White Album of the Beatles and believed it was heralding a race war. Henry Ford also has this asterism and what better way to connect people than to provide automobiles which made travel much faster and efficient.

Dhanishtha

“the wealthiest”

23°20 Capricorn – 6°40 Aquarius

Dieties: the eight Vasus, gods of light and abundance

Symbol: a musical drum

Shakti: the power to give abundance and fame

Basis Above: birth

Basis Below: prosperity

Result: To revolve around the summit of the gods

Dhanishtha is a wealth Nakshatra. Its natives have the power to acquire immense wealth, whatever that may be. It is usually wealth of the financial kind, but it can also be measured in fame as well. Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana, arguably the most famous women to have ever lived, have their Moons here. This is also a Nakshatra of Nature. The natives enjoy spending time in the woods away from the hustle and bustle of crowded cities. Many of these natives are born into wealth and then acquire even more as life progresses or they are born famous or within a famous family. They have a knack for acquiring fame and fortune if they are not born into it. Often these natives give birth to something original as that is there basis above. Fidel Castro gave birth to Communism in Cuba. He is considered an extremely successful leader amongst his own people. A musical drum as the symbol often make these natives musicians or gives a good rhythm as in dancing.

Shatabisha

“possessing or requiring one hundred physicians or medicines”

6°40 – 20°00 Aquarius

Deity: Varuna, god of rain and water

Symbol: an empty circle

Shakti: the power of healing

Basis Above: all-pervasiveness

Basis Below: support for everything

Result: Firmness in understanding

Varuna, the deity, is “the coverer” or “the binder”, thus these natives have a hidden, secret side that they hide from the world. Varuna rules the invisible so these natives are very unpredictable. Before Varuna was associated with water, he was the god of the “all-encompassing sky” and he was the support for creation. He actually created the Nakshatras, thus these natives seem to be all knowing and know things without any methodical practice. They can assimilate diverse information and unite it into an all-encompassing theory. Since Varuna created the Nakshatras, these natives exist to heal the creation. Each individual jiva needs to be healed, that is the purpose of creation, to heal, so that enlightenment can be reached. The all pervading aspect of Shatabisha shows up in the horoscope of J. Edgar Hoover, the former head of the FBI.

Purva Bhadrapada

“earlier auspicious one”

20°00 Aquarius – 3°20 Pisces

Deity: Aja Ekapada, the one-footed goat

Symbol: double faced man, a sword, two front legs of a funeral bed

Shakti: the power of spiritual fire which is elevating

Basis Above: that which is good for people

Basis Below: that which is good for the gods

Result: to gain support for the entire world through spiritual knowledge

Purva Bhadrapada natives are inspired by what is good for all people. They are motivated by supporting the world through knowledge and do not have a need to be recognized for what they do. This is a devotional, worship centered Nakshatra. When they become interested in something, they will revere it. Worship is really attention. That which our attention focuses upon the most consistently and methodically is that which we worship. Hugh Hefner has his natal Moon here and through his worship of the female form, was able to create a publishing empire. Martin Luther King also has his Moon here and was able to create and promote concepts and ideas of fairness and equality.

Uttara Bhadrapada

“later auspicious one”

3°20 – 16°40 Pisces

Deity: Ahir Budhya, serpent of the deep

Symbol: two joined men, the back end of a funeral bed

Shakti: the power to bring rain

Basis Above: the raining of clouds

Basis Below: the growth of plants

Result: Nourishment and balance between earth and sky

Uttara Bhadrapada natives want to bring nourishment. The world is not stable because there is hunger and need. These natives want to bring stability by fulfilling needs. They want to bring about peace and balance. Uttara Bhadrapada’s skakti is to bring the rain. Rain represents a quelling of a thirsty earth, but also the condensation of ideas and inspiration into tangible form that can do some good in a practical way. Bill Gates is an Uttara Bhadrapada native. He answered a need for the sharing of information and heightened communication and fulfilled that need with a concrete product. Now anyone almost anywhere in the world can find information about any subject or find what they want through a computer.

Revati

“wealthy”

16°40 – 30°00 Pisces

Deity: Pushan, Sun as Nourisher and finder of lost things and animals

Symbol: a drum, fish

Shakti: the power of nourishment

Basis Above: cows

Basis Below: calves

Result: Nourishment of entire world

Revati natives will go out of their way to care for someone. They instinctively know what is needed on an immediate physical or psychological level and as a result are usually wonderful people to have as friends. Revati natives also love traveling and usually had great good luck while on travels. The symbol of a drum gives them good dancing and musical ability. They also love animals. If planets are severely afflicted here, there may come harm from animals. Angelina Jolie has her natal Moon here. She has been deeply moved by the hunger and poverty she has seen in third world countries and has now dedicated her life to helping those in need. She has adopted impoverished children and given them a life they would never have dreamed of. She is also constantly globe trotting to fulfill her new humanitarian obligations.

Definition of Transformation: (1)The act of transforming, or the state of being transformed; change of form or condition. (2) Change of one from of material into another, as in assimilation; metabolism; metamorphosis. (3) A change in disposition, heart, character, or the like; conversion.

I chose “transformation” for this article’s theme for several reasons.

First, the business I have been involved with since summer has experienced a stunning transformation. When I joined the group, we were aligned with a well known company that, when approached with suggestions for improvements, severed the relationship. Our business has worked to put the improvements to work and has rolled out the exciting changes.

Second, I have recently read about and also experienced “ah ha” moments that trigger transformation of the ways we think and live our lives.

Third, I feel that the movie, “The Secret,” has created a transformative effect across the country. Through the media coverage, the books and those who are proponents of and users of the Law of Attraction, many attitudes and lives have been transformed.

Notice that each of the parts of the definition above use the word, “change.” We all know how difficult it is to change. And, yet, we have heard again and again that if we don’t change we will continue to have the same results over and over. If we are happy with our results, we should continue doing what we have always done. However, most of the people I know would be thrilled with a change for the better, but are afraid to try.

Have you experienced or started to work on a transformation? It may consist of different areas of your life: physical, financial, educational, family, and emotional. The great news is that if one works on transforming one of these areas, transformation will occur in other areas, too. I have witnessed this so often at the gym. When a student of mine works on losing weight and achieving a high level of fitness, the benefits color other areas.

What do the experts have to say about transformation?

“Personal transformation can and does have global effects. As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us. The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one.” – Marianne Williamson, American author
“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.” – Napoleon Hill, American writer
“Transformation in the world happens when people are healed and start investing in other people.” – Michael W. Smith, American musician
“Transformation literally means going beyond your form.” – Wayne Dyer, American psychologist
“In the kind of world we have today, transformation of humanity might well be our only real hope for survival.” – Stanislav Grof, Czechoslovakian psychologist
“History is the transformation of tumultuous conquerors into silent footnotes.” – Paul Eldridge, American educator
“If you say, I’m for equal pay, that’s a reform. But if you say. I’m a feminist, that’s a transformation of society.” – Gloria Steinem, American activist

I especially like American actress, Judith Light’s quotation, “The message of transformation and how we all can live from our heart, not just from our head, was a very important message for me to learn in my own life.”

Let me hear about your work on transformation and what started it.

Before any revolution can occur in the outside world, it must first occur inside you. Your #1 job in visualization is to believe and be ready to receive.

Every physical manifestation begins with a mental creation. Your ability to take your highest goals and continually hold them in your thoughts with passion, excitement and enthusiasm will cause them to become real.

“Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.” -Gloria Steinem

Because visualization is so easy to do, most people overlook doing it. Most people do not understand the power of the subconscious mind. It’s always there inside you just waiting for you to unleash it for good.

Most people unconsciously use visualization when they worry about things. They literally make themselves sick by dwelling on the negative things in life over things that will never even happen.

Those precious moments amount to time lost forever.

That was time you could have spent thinking about something more positive and productive. You can train yourself to dwell in possibility, thinking about positive things, like your goals and dreams.

There is a process that increases the level of excitement and intensity so much that you actually feel like you’re there before it even happens.

Visualization is a powerful tool.

The ability to FEEL and experience your goals as already having been realized will anchor the emotion of success into your body and into your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between a picture in your mind’s eye and what is real outside.

Take yourself deep into the emotion as if you are experiencing your goal and it will energize you. The great athletes and great leaders of the world know that the subconscious mind is the most powerful advantage they have.

It takes so little effort and time to do but it’s the number one most overlooked component to speeding up the process of achievement.

Spend a few moments right now and close your eyes.

Allow yourself to relax. Imagine your goal as if you have already achieved it. Let yourself go there completely. Who is there with you celebrating? You’ll know you are getting there when a smile warms your face. The more you do this, the better

you’ll get at it. You will actually find yourself getting

emotional and feeling true joy just thinking about your goal.

This is real. You can take these sensations as far as you want for as long as you want any time you wish.

How does it feel to have achieved your goal?

Congratulations!

The Power of Visualizaion is at your disposal anytime you choose to employ it.

The Nakshatras are 27 constellations in the sky measuring 13 degrees 20 minutes each. This is the most ancient of zodiacs, mentioned in texts long before mention of Rasis.

Basis Above and Basis Below:

The basis above is what is in the mind of the deity of the Nakshatra when thinking about life upon earth. The basis below is the natural consequence, or how that mindset manifests when living upon earth. It is not what is consciously in the mind of a person, it is the natural predisposition and what grows from this natural predisposition.

Shakti:

Shakti is the power inherent in the Nakshatra and the power in the mind of the individual. This power is innate and does not need conscious interference or will power. It is as innate as the color of one’s eyes even if the native is not aware of it.

The Nakshatras

Ashwini

“Owning horses”

0 – 13°20 Aries

Deities: Ashwini Kumaras

Symbol: the horse’s head

Shakti: power to reach things quickly

Basis Above: creatures to be healed

Basis Below: healing therapies

Result: freedom from disease

Ashwini natives are swift and are able to travel at high speeds. They are natural healers and being in their presence in soothing. They are good listeners and will make excellent therapists and psychologists. This is an animal Nakshatra so there is an affinity for animals, especially horses. They also have an affinity for vehicles. Ashwini people usually reach lofty heights in their chosen profession but not though ambition. Roy Rogers, the cowboy actor, has his natal Moon here and he was featured in over one hundred movies with his Palamino and German Shepherd. Peter Fonda, the lead in “Easy Rider”, also is an Ashwini native. The chopper was his metal stallion carrying him swiftly across the United States.

Bharani

“To bear”

13°20 – 26°40 Aries

Deity: Yama, the god of death

Symbol: vagina

Shakti: power to take things away

Basis Above: removal of life from the body

Basis Below: carry the soul to the realm of the ancestors

Result: Moving on to the next world

Bharani people are obsessed with death and/or transformation. Their power lies in taking things away. As long as the things taken away are negative or counterproductive, then the Bharani person works in line with the universe. For example, if one has a brain tumor, a Bharani surgeon will effectively be able to take it away. Garbage needs to be taken away. Psychologically, negative attitudes and self-defeating habits need to be taken away so that the person can better themselves. The vagina, as the symbol of Bharani, takes away the semen to produce another life, it takes away the vital essence of one being to create another. As a side note, Jim Morrison had his Moon in Bharani. Did you see the movie, “The Doors”? Throughout the entire movie, he spoke about and was obsessed with the subject of death. Many of his songs were about death.

Krittika

“Razor/cutter”

26°40 Aries – 10°00 Taurus

Deity: Agni, the god of fire

Symbol: A razor or sharp blade

Shakti: To burn

Basis Above: Heat

Basis Below: Light

Result: Burning and purification

Krittika is also a transformative Nakshatra. Fire is the most purifying substance known. Krittika people are fiery, courageous and able to cut away the unnecessary to achieve their goals. Frida Kahlo had her Moon in Krittika and her art is filled with images of cut flesh and even a self-portrait of cutting her own hair. There are myths associated with Agni, the god of fire that tell of high sexual passion and illicit affairs with other married individuals, note that Katherine Hepburn’s Moon is also under the sway of Krittika and her 25 year affair with the married Spencer Tracy was hardly a secret.

Rohini

“The growing” or “the red”

10°00 – 23°20 Taurus

Deity: Prajapati, lord of creation

Symbol: an ox cart

Shakti: growth

Basis Above: plants

Basis Below: waters

Result: creation

Rohini is a soft, tender nakshatra. This was the favorite wife of the Moon. The deity, Prajapati is a creative deity, presiding over theatrical art, dancing and music and all growth. Rohini, as the favorite wife of the Moon, was highly talented in these arts as well as highly skilled in making love. In Vedic myth, the Moon stayed with Rohini to the detriment of his other wives because of her beauty grace and charm. The father of the brides, Daksha, cursed the Moon, so now he waxes and wanes as he visits all of his wives. Rohini people make wonderful dancers, Fred Astaire has his natal Moon here. Rohini people are concerned with growth, note that Sigmund Freud, doing research into the growing mind of the individual from babyhood, through toddler years, revolved an entire thesis around how the perceptual mind grows in psychology.

Mrigashira

“the deer’s head” “hunting”

23°20 Taurus – 6°40 Gemini

Deity: Soma, god of immortality

Symbol: deer’s head

Shakti: the power to give fulfillment

Basis Above: to extend

Basis Below: weaving

Result: Making the world enjoyable

Mrigashira individuals search within the creation for satiation and usually find it. They extend themselves into creation, weaving a pattern of karmas, but these desires to be fulfilled are benign and the motivation behind them is to enjoy the creation. Mrigashira individuals are charming, changeable, timid, and impulsive. They like to hunt for the objects of their desires. The house placement of the Moon as well as any planets conjunct the Moon in Mrigashira will give clues as to what the native is hunting. Mrigashira is an animal Nakshatra, so there is a natural love of animals and nature unless planets are severely afflicted here. Also, as a side note, Mrigashira people often have big, beautiful, doe-like eyes. An example is Brooke Shields and Goldie Hawn who both have their Moons in this asterism.

Ardra

“the moist one”

6°40 – 20°00 Gemini

Deity: Rudra, the storm-god

Symbol: a teardrop

Shakti: the power of effort

Basis Above: to hunt or search

Basis Below: reach the goal

Result: achievement

Rudra, the god of Ardra, is a form of Shiva. Shiva is very unconventional and heretical in his actions and views, so Ardra people are inclined to be the same way. The symbol is a teardrop, so high emotion is associated with this asterism. Often Ardra individuals will be moved to tears, and since Shiva is the god of destruction and suffering, often Ardra people will suffer for what they want and to achieve their goals. In order to reach the goal, there is suffering and destruction of some sort along the way. Ardra’s planetary ruler is Rahu, showing an obsessive, strong desire nature. Ardra natives can make their goals their obsessions, giving a powerful impetus for success, however if they do not have a beneficial and healthy goal, they can fall into addictions. Janis Joplin and Farrah Fawcett have their natal Moons placed here. The sad story of Janis Joplin’s addictions ruining her after she achieved great success is well known.

Punarvasu

“return to goodness and light”

20°00 Gemini – 3°20 Cancer

Deity: Aditi, mother of the gods

Symbol: a quiver of arrows

Shakti: the power of wealth or substance

Basis Above: wind, air

Basis Below: wetness, rain

Result: producing herbs and trees

Aditi, the mother goddess, is beyond form and boundless. She is goddess of space and also of the earth. Like the goddess, Punarvasu people love freedom and expansion. The have the natural ability to create wealth and prosperity. They have many resources from which to draw upon, represented by the quiver of arrows. They like to store and retain their creations and energy instead of spending it. They have a strong sense of virtue and of right and wrong. The ability to resurrect a failing marriage or career, or regain self-respect, prosperity or income is a natural talent among these natives. The person may become overly enamored of material well being and use it for selfish reasons, but will always return to the balanced, correct path. David Hasselhoff has his Moon here and has been through many rehabilitations for alcohol related problems and he also knows that his actions are self-defeating and seeks out help to renew himself.

Pushya

“nourishing” “the flower”

3°20 – 16°40 Cancer

Deity: Brihaspati, teacher of the devas (divine beings, gods)

Symbol: udder of a cow

Shakti: the power to create spiritual energy

Basis Above: sacrificial worship

Basis Below: the worshipper

Result: possessing spiritual knowledge and energy

Brihaspati as the lord of Pushya rules knowledge and Pushya natives tend to be professionals in their field and quite knowledgeable. They will nourish anything they come into contact with and make it grow and thrive. As a result, this Nakshatra has the reputation of being the most auspicious Nakshatra. Luck naturally comes the way of the Pushya person. Prosperity and wealth are also attributes that seem to bless the life of the native of Pushya. Learning and mental energy are favored by this Nakshatra. Clint Eastwood, Joe Montana and Gloria Steinem all have their natal Moons in Pushya. All three of these individuals are extremely learned and fortunate in their respective fields.

Ashlesha

“entwiner” “embracer”

16°40 – 30°00 Cancer

Deity: Sarpas, the deified serpents

Symbol: a coiled serpent

Shakti: the power to inflict with poison

Basis Above: the approach of the serpent

Basis Below: agitation or trembling

Result: destruction of the victim

Ashlesha natives entwine or embrace that which they desire. They have a hypnotic, sensual, undulating quality which can metaphorically paralyze the object of their gaze. The poison they inflict can be to destroy or an ambrosial nectar that will bring about illusions within the recipient. They do not have the magnetic, charismatic qualities to sway the masses, usually their hypnotic powers work best on a one to one basis. Snakes are representative of the kundalini energy so this asterism has intense mystical power. The sarpas inhabit the underworld, so the Ashlesha native will be fascinated by the hidden, occult, deeply psychological areas of life. They are also akin to snakes as they periodically shed their skin and go through many transformations in life. Examples of Ashlesha natives are Marilyn Manson where the fascination with the dark side of life is quite apparent. Barbara Streisand is also a native with an Ashlesha moon. As a worthy note, Ashlesha rules fingernails; she possesses these in abundance and they are world famous.

Magha

“the great one”

0 – 13°20 Leo

Deity: The Pitris, the deified ancestors

Symbol: throne room, royal court

Shakti: the power to leave the body

Basis Above: mourning

Basis Below: leaving the body

Result: death

This Nakshatra is a very fated Nakshatra. These natives are highly relegated by what their ancestors have done and the desires of their ancestors. This Nakshatra has as its basis above, mourning, which above all is an awareness in the consciousness that things must be let go of and moved past. There are several phases in life that the person will move through and many people and situations they will be obliged to let go of. In the mythology of this Nakshatra, the Pitris live on the Moon, which represents that the ancestors are connected to our genetic make-up and guiding the destiny because of the link with consciousness. Because of the connection to the “throne room” and royal court, Magha natives often obtain a high level of success and fame in life. Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin have their natal Moon in this asterism.

Purva Phalguni

“the former red one”

13°20 – 26°40 Leo

Deity: Bhaga, the god of wealth, especially inherited wealth

Symbol: legs of a cot

Shakti: the power to procreate

Basis Above: the wife, female partner

Basis Below: the husband, male partner

Result: the creation of a living being

All Purva Nakshatras deal with tremendous creative and conceptual powers. The Uttara Nakshatras are the natural follow up as they make the ideas and concepts into tangible results. Purva Phalguni is a highly creative Nakshatra with many artists and musicians as its natives. There is a predisposition to being overly sensual and fascinated by sexuality. These natives seem to create something of value while in partnership, not necessarily romantic partnership. When they create alone, it is most often unbalanced. There is a strong thirst for direct experience and a need to have concepts recognized. At one time the most famous woman in the world, Madonna, has her natal Moon here. Madonna’s fascination with sexuality and artistic talents are well known. Most of her documented life she has been one half of a partnership.

Uttara Phalguni

“the latter red one”

26°40 Leo – 10°00 Virgo

Deity: Aryaman, god of chivalry and contracts

Symbol: a bed or a cot

Shakti: the power of wealth and accumulation through partnership

Basis Above: wealth obtained through one’s family

Basis Below: wealth obtained through the partner or partner’s family

Result: accumulation of wealth

Uttara Phalguni is an asterism that will take the concepts and ideas of the previous Nakshatra and turn them into tangible results. This is a wealth Nakshatra and the native is able to benefit greatly from the wealth of his family and the wealth of the partner if the Moon is unafflicted here. It does not necessarily mean that the native’s family is wealthy or that the partner is wealthy, but that the native benefits from these avenues of wealth. This is also a Nakshatra where partnerships are favored and anything created in a partnership will thrive and bring wealth. Examples of this wealth through partnership can be seen through the natives of Barbara Bach, the wife of Ringo Starr and Eva Braun, the chere amie of Hitler.

Hasta

“the hand”

10°00 – 23°20 Virgo

Deity: Savitar the Sun, giver of life

Symbol: a hand or fist

Shakti: the power to gain our desire and place it in our hand

Basis Above: seeking gain

Basis Below: obtaining the desire

Result: obtainment of wish and put in one’s hand

Hasta natives can acquire the objects of the desires in their consciousness. If their Moon is afflicted, they will be confused about what they want. The symbol is the hand, so these natives are naturally dexterous and highly skilled. The deity, Savitar, rules over the control of the mind that gives higher awareness and the necessary focus to obtain what we want. Out of divine inspiration, these natives will usually unselfishly create with their hands. Orville Wright has his natal Moon here. Savitar also rules mantras and divine words, so the Hasta native will have a good capacity for writing and speaking. Sylvia Plath, the tragic but incredibly talented poet, had her natal Moon here as well. Her Moon however, was very dim and in the 8th house, hence her poems were about death and transformation of the psyche.

Chitra

“the bright” “the distinguished”

23°20 Virgo – 6°40 Libra

Deity: Tvashtar or Vishvakarma, the celestial architect

Symbol: a shining jewel

Shakti: the power to accumulate merit

Basis Above: law

Basis Below: truth

Result: gain of honor in one’s work

Chitra natives have the brightest star on the ecliptic, Spica, illuminating their constellation, hence their name, “the Bright”. They like to shine in what they do and do it with a certain flair and magnetism. They also like to be completely responsible for their creations as the deity, Vishvakarma is the divine architect. Chitra natives try to do their best in everything they do and they are extremely motivated to follow their own Truth. They are bright, charismatic and usually powerful. If the Moon is severely afflicted, what they believe to be the Truth may be highly twisted, but they will still be motivated to follow their own personal path. These natives will have flashes of inspiration and will want to become self-realized. Righteous activity will result in accumulation of merit, the shakti of Chitra. Sylvester Stallone, Ted Turner and both George Bushes have their Moons in Chitra.

Swati

“the independent one”

6°40 – 20°00 Libra

Deity: Vayu, deified wind

Symbol: a young sprout swaying in the wind

Shakti: the power to scatter like the wind

Basis Above: movement in different directions

Basis Below: changing form

Result: transformation

Wind means change. Reflect upon the saying, “Winds of Change”. Swati natives take something and transform it. Their lives are characterized by much movement and change. They thrive upon this and get bored when things are stagnant. These natives have a pioneering spirit and are very independent. Because their shakti is to scatter like the wind, they will be adventurous and restless and love to travel. Wind governs speech and the communicative faculty, the vocal chords, so these native will have natural talents in speaking and singing. Vayu, the deity of this Nakshatra, is also lord of the celestial musicians, so these natives often love music or have talent in this area. Charles Chaplin, Miles Davis, a trumpet player of which blowing air is paramount, and Johnny Cash all have their Moons in this asterism.

Vishakha

“the forked one”

20°00 Libra – 3°20 Scorpio

Deities: Indra, two gods of lightning and fire

Symbol: leaf encrusted triumphal gateway

Shakti: the power to achieve many and various goals

Basis Above: to cultivate

Basis Below: the harvest

Result: fruits of the harvest

Vishakha, as a Jupiter ruled Nakshatra, is connected to divine spirit. These natives need to define spirituality for themselves or some kind of dharmic (purposeful) path must be put into place to guide their lives. These natives are also planners, they do not act impulsively. The inherent nature of cultivation and then reaping the harvest takes time, so these natives are very patient and persistent. They are multi-faceted and have many talents. They often will make good farmers and gardeners. Vishakha natives will cultivate their ideas and creations until they have reached perfection. The deities are ones of lightning and fire, so therefore are extremely intense and often will disregard others in their pursuit of their desire. Jimmy Carter, who was once a farmer and Jules Verne, who was both a writer of science fiction and a politician, both have their native Moons here.

Anuradha

“additional Radha”

3°20 – 16°40 Scorpio

Deity: Mitra, god of friendship, lord of compassion

Symbol: a lotus, archway

Shakti: the power of worship

Basis Above: to ascend

Basis Below: to descend

Result: Honor and abundance

Natives with Anuradha as their Nakshatra have a very fated path with regard to friends. Really good friends are naturally fated because they usually give us help when needed and boosts in career, finance, etc. Anuradha is also ruled by Saturn, the planet of fate. These natives usually take longer than usual to reach their goals and must go through many adversities in early life before they are able to come into their own as represented by the lotus. Honor and loyalty play a major role in their life as well. They are often very devoted to something, hence their shakti as power of worship. The worship does not have to be something spiritual, it can be a concept, a career, a person. The god Mitra, abhors violence and disputes, so these natives usually do not like passionate confrontations. This is a goal oriented Nakshatra and these natives reach their goals through the alliances they maintain with others. Bob Geldof, the instigator of the LiveAid concerts and Francis Ford Coppola have Anuradha as their Moons’ Nakshatra.

Jyeshtha

“the eldest”

16°40 – 30°00 Scorpio

Deity: Indra, king of gods, lord of storms

Symbol: earring, talisman

Shakti: the power to rise and conquer

Basis Above: to attack

Basis Below: to defend

Result: To gain supremacy among the gods

Jyeshtha, as all Nakshatras ruled by Mercury, is concerned with tangible results. As the eldest, and Indra as the deity, these people are fierce fighters and love a challenge. They are very powerful people and have the ability to rise above circumstances and become a hero. They tend to see life as a battle. Because Jyeshtha means the eldest, these people often hold positions of seniority and authority. There is very powerful sexual potency in this Nakshatra and these natives have a forceful impact on people and may be prone to adultery and illicit sexual encounters. Their sexual desire may cause them to seek fulfillment outside of their primary relationships. The Jyeshtha person can never be held down. Tiger Woods, Oprah Winfrey and Alexander the Great are some examples of Jyeshtha natives

Mula

“the root”

0 – 13°20 Sagittarius

Deity: Nirriti, goddess of misery

Symbol: tied up bunch of roots, lion’s tail

Shakti: the power to destroy or damage

Basis Above: to break

Basis Below: to crush

Result: destruction

Mula people like to take things apart, literally destroy them, before they create anything. Mula natives are focused on getting to the root of a concept, situation or thing so they inevitably must destroy most of the thing to get at its essence. Mula is a constellation at the middle of the Milky Way, so these natives become intensely interested in their object of study and penetrate the core of whatever it is that they are focused upon. They like to uncover secret knowledge. Because of the naturally difficult aspects of this Nakshatra, Mula natives are prone to experience utter loss and disappointment at some time in their lives. As this is happening, Nirriti will give a healing salve to those in distress. She is also protector of those people who are mentally and physically disabled The Mula person will confront fear and it will flee. A Mula person has an inner warrior that can confront anything. Prominent Mula people are Henri Matisse and Krishnamurti.

Purva Ashadha

“the former undefeated”

13°20 – 26°40 Sagittarius

Deity: Apas, goddess of waters

Symbol: a basket used for separating grain from the husk

Shakti: the power to invigorate or energize

Basis Above: strength

Basis Below: connection

Result: to gain the sea upon wishing for it

Purva Nakshatras, as mentioned before, are concerned with concepts and ideas. Purva Ashadha’s deity, Apas, is the goddess of waters. In this context it means water as flowing. Purva Ashadha people are invigorating and inspiring. They like to feel connected. Water is what invigorates us in the body. When we are dehydrated we feel de-energized and uninvigorated; flowing water remedies this. These people have great luster and charisma. They use their natural strength to bring people together for a cause. Because it is “the former undefeated”, these people tend to succeed quickly and success and victory. This is also a highly creative Nakshatra with a lot of sexual potency, so they tend to attract romantic partners and friends that help them win their goals. Other prominent people with this Nakshatra are Johnny Depp, Ernest Hemingway and Cher.

Uttara Ashadha

“the latter undefeated”

26°40 Sagittarius – 10°00 Capricorn

Deity: The Ten Vishvadevas, universal gods

Symbol: an elephant’s tusk

Shakti: the power to grant an unchallengeable victory

Basis Above: strength to win

Basis Below: the goal that one can win

Result: becomes the victor that can never lose

Uttara Ashadha also denotes victory. However, since this is “the latter undefeated”, these people tend to succeed later and have more patience and perseverance. Since it is Uttara, it is more concerned with tangible results than ideas and concepts. Many of these people take on incredible odds but are able to succeed anyway. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln have their Moons here. Uttara Ashadha people have an intense desire behind which they throw their strong will to achieve a victory that endures. They have leadership qualities and a natural diplomacy.

Shravana

“the ear”

10°00 – 23°20 Capricorn

Deity: Vishnu, the Pervader

Symbol: three footprints

Shakti: the power to connect

Basis Above: seeking

Basis Below: paths

Result: connection of all things

As “the ear” is representative of Shravana, hearing becomes very important for this Nakshatra. Hearing becomes what we think. These natives want to connect things and people, so what they hear becomes a means for connection. What they hear decides their path. You know the saying, “That sounds good”. This determines our decision when something sounds better than something else. This is also the Nakshatra of listening, so these natives make great listeners and develop a profound wisdom. Three footprints symbolize walking and traveling, so the Shravana person will like to walk, run and/or travel. Charles Manson has his Moon in this Nakshatra. He killed because he heard the White Album of the Beatles and believed it was heralding a race war. Henry Ford also has this asterism and what better way to connect people than to provide automobiles which made travel much faster and efficient.

Dhanishtha

“the wealthiest”

23°20 Capricorn – 6°40 Aquarius

Dieties: the eight Vasus, gods of light and abundance

Symbol: a musical drum

Shakti: the power to give abundance and fame

Basis Above: birth

Basis Below: prosperity

Result: To revolve around the summit of the gods

Dhanishtha is a wealth Nakshatra. Its natives have the power to acquire immense wealth, whatever that may be. It is usually wealth of the financial kind, but it can also be measured in fame as well. Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana, arguably the most famous women to have ever lived, have their Moons here. This is also a Nakshatra of Nature. The natives enjoy spending time in the woods away from the hustle and bustle of crowded cities. Many of these natives are born into wealth and then acquire even more as life progresses or they are born famous or within a famous family. They have a knack for acquiring fame and fortune if they are not born into it. Often these natives give birth to something original as that is there basis above. Fidel Castro gave birth to Communism in Cuba. He is considered an extremely successful leader amongst his own people. A musical drum as the symbol often make these natives musicians or gives a good rhythm as in dancing.

Shatabisha

“possessing or requiring one hundred physicians or medicines”

6°40 – 20°00 Aquarius

Deity: Varuna, god of rain and water

Symbol: an empty circle

Shakti: the power of healing

Basis Above: all-pervasiveness

Basis Below: support for everything

Result: Firmness in understanding

Varuna, the deity, is “the coverer” or “the binder”, thus these natives have a hidden, secret side that they hide from the world. Varuna rules the invisible so these natives are very unpredictable. Before Varuna was associated with water, he was the god of the “all-encompassing sky” and he was the support for creation. He actually created the Nakshatras, thus these natives seem to be all knowing and know things without any methodical practice. They can assimilate diverse information and unite it into an all-encompassing theory. Since Varuna created the Nakshatras, these natives exist to heal the creation. Each individual jiva needs to be healed, that is the purpose of creation, to heal, so that enlightenment can be reached. The all pervading aspect of Shatabisha shows up in the horoscope of J. Edgar Hoover, the former head of the FBI.

Purva Bhadrapada

“earlier auspicious one”

20°00 Aquarius – 3°20 Pisces

Deity: Aja Ekapada, the one-footed goat

Symbol: double faced man, a sword, two front legs of a funeral bed

Shakti: the power of spiritual fire which is elevating

Basis Above: that which is good for people

Basis Below: that which is good for the gods

Result: to gain support for the entire world through spiritual knowledge

Purva Bhadrapada natives are inspired by what is good for all people. They are motivated by supporting the world through knowledge and do not have a need to be recognized for what they do. This is a devotional, worship centered Nakshatra. When they become interested in something, they will revere it. Worship is really attention. That which our attention focuses upon the most consistently and methodically is that which we worship. Hugh Hefner has his natal Moon here and through his worship of the female form, was able to create a publishing empire. Martin Luther King also has his Moon here and was able to create and promote concepts and ideas of fairness and equality.

Uttara Bhadrapada

“later auspicious one”

3°20 – 16°40 Pisces

Deity: Ahir Budhya, serpent of the deep

Symbol: two joined men, the back end of a funeral bed

Shakti: the power to bring rain

Basis Above: the raining of clouds

Basis Below: the growth of plants

Result: Nourishment and balance between earth and sky

Uttara Bhadrapada natives want to bring nourishment. The world is not stable because there is hunger and need. These natives want to bring stability by fulfilling needs. They want to bring about peace and balance. Uttara Bhadrapada’s skakti is to bring the rain. Rain represents a quelling of a thirsty earth, but also the condensation of ideas and inspiration into tangible form that can do some good in a practical way. Bill Gates is an Uttara Bhadrapada native. He answered a need for the sharing of information and heightened communication and fulfilled that need with a concrete product. Now anyone almost anywhere in the world can find information about any subject or find what they want through a computer.

Revati

“wealthy”

16°40 – 30°00 Pisces

Deity: Pushan, Sun as Nourisher and finder of lost things and animals

Symbol: a drum, fish

Shakti: the power of nourishment

Basis Above: cows

Basis Below: calves

Result: Nourishment of entire world

Revati natives will go out of their way to care for someone. They instinctively know what is needed on an immediate physical or psychological level and as a result are usually wonderful people to have as friends. Revati natives also love traveling and usually had great good luck while on travels. The symbol of a drum gives them good dancing and musical ability. They also love animals. If planets are severely afflicted here, there may come harm from animals. Angelina Jolie has her natal Moon here. She has been deeply moved by the hunger and poverty she has seen in third world countries and has now dedicated her life to helping those in need. She has adopted impoverished children and given them a life they would never have dreamed of. She is also constantly globe trotting to fulfill her new humanitarian obligations.

Alex Jones Presents REFLECTIONS AND WARNINGS: AN INTERVIEW WITH AARON RUSSO A LEGACY OF FREEDOM THAT WILL LIVE ON In an historic final interview, filmmaker and music promoter Aaron Russo goes in depth on the insider-knowledge given to him by a member of the Rockefeller family. Russo was told– prior to 9/11– of plans to stage terror attacks, invade foreign nations, and kickstart a high-tech police state control grid that would track the populations’ every move with implantable RFID microchips. This information-packed presentation is filled with never-before seen footage. Throughout the film, Alex Jones breaks down the latest activities of the New World Order and how it ties into what Russo predicted. Aaron explains how the elite created the women’s liberation movement to break up the family and tax working women. Russo breaks down the deception of democracy– which is nothing more than mob rule guaranteed to produce tyranny. Russo also exposes the IRS & Federal Reserve. He blasts the unconstitutional and predatory institutions that have crippled the American Republic and crushed the people with bogus taxes, inflation and loss of privacy. Russo explains that he himself was persecuted in the late 80s by a criminal ‘retroactive’ tax scheme that attempted to levy new taxes on years already passed. As night falls on the Republic, Aaron Russo delivers a powerful call for the forces of liberty to rise and crush tyranny. Only then can the Republic be restored. ORDER IT NOW OR …

At first, he thought they were the noblest of creatures. Everyday one or two would visit our meadow, grazing like little brown and white lawn mowers across the four acre expanse. “Beautiful creatures,” he would smile. But by the time the whole ordeal reached its volcanic conclusion, the fuzzy four-legged former friends would be forever known as Devil Deer ― The Purveyors of Hell. I had never seen anything like it except, perhaps, in Donald Duck cartoons. My dad had gone off the deep end when it came to what the calmer part of the family tree jokingly dubbed “The Deer War.”

Dad is a retired nurseryman, as was his father before him. It is in his blood. Grandfather to eleven adult grandchildren, my youngest came as a surprise, and Dad happily discovered that his new (and probably last) granddaughter, Alex, was the only grandkid who arrived with a green thumb. Dad was so proud, and it didn’t matter that Alex was a girl. As only someone born before the days of women’s lib and Gloria Steinem could say with a straight face, “Girls are capable nurserymen too, you know.”

Over the summer of her seventh year, Dad taught Alex any and everything about plants, and was particularly proud of the way she could pronounce the Latin names. Mom was overjoyed that Dad finally had a plant buddy.

On misty mornings Dad would mutedly call Alex into the front room for an up-close look at the beautiful creatures grazing in the meadow. Alex called it the Bambi Show, as Dad and she would gaze appreciatively at the majestic deer. Dad would snap picture after picture of “his” deer, showing his prized photographs to anyone he could snare. Then, came the day: planting time for the vegetable garden and flower garden.

From years of experience, Dad knew what deer like to eat and so he made an effort to plant marigolds along the garden perimeter in a humane bid to stave off the deer that might happen to view his new garden as more of a kitchen. “The marigold smell keeps the deer in the meadow,” he confidently declared. “There’s plenty to eat out there,” he would tell Alex.

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

So Dad and Alex planted zucchini, watermelons, carrots, green beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes, and every day was filled taking care of that pretty little garden. The neighbors marveled at the bounty Dad’s garden produced. People would drive past our colorful place with the stunning flower gardens and the orange and yellow dahlias, where sweet smelling roses, bonny sunflowers, tall stately hollyhocks and the morning glories that Alex had planted from seed made their home along the flagstone path.

Dad had laid all the path stones himself and planted the fast spreading Moneywort groundcover sneaking between each stone. Breathtaking. As a botanical piece’ résistance, Mom purchased two massive petunia plants in huge baskets and hung them next to the back door.

One day, Dad happily noticed not just the usual two deer but seven; two adults and five fawns, to be exact. They were the cutest little things, following their mamas all over the meadow, eating the meadow grass down, and as the days passed, they began to move a little closer to the house. One morning he noticed the petunias in the three foot baskets had just disappeared. Dad’s eyes narrowed as he recognized the telltale signs that trouble was afoot, and it had arrived on four feet! There were little droppings on the ground and when Alex asked what they were, he mumbled something about them not being Raisinettes. “That my dear, is war.”

The deer had gotten to Mom’s precious petunias; a line in the sand (or in this case, soil) had been crossed.

Next went the sunflowers. If Dad wasn’t already bald, he would have been from pulling his hair out. He wanted to protect his vegetable garden and that is when Alex got an education.

Dad erected twirling ground flower stakes in an opening volley to scare the Devil Deer away.

CASUALTIES OF WAR

He was already resigned to losing casualties every day, and those cheeky deer had no compunction about walking up on our porch ― right up the stairs ― and munching every rose off its stem.

Dad would tear onto the porch armed with a pot and a spoon, and bang the heck out of the pan. Early in the game the deer would scatter in all directions. It was like watching Donald Duck with the chipmunks.

But there was soon a point when they wouldn’t even glance up whenever Donald Dad flew out the door, pot and spoon at the ready. They must have thought he was playing music just for them. They would merely stare at the crazy man with flowers hanging out of both sides of their mouths (The deer mouths, not Dad’s…).

Now we were up to eight deer; one more plus Santa and a sleigh and we’d really be in business.

Then it happened; the vegetable garden took a hit. A new theatre of war had been declared.

By this time, Dad was experiencing knee problems so he would send out his little soldier, Private Alex, armed with the pot and spoon. Even with Dad’s bad knee he would sometimes hobble out to the battlefield with his cane and wave it up and down. “You Devil Deer! Did you come from Hell? Get out of here. That’s my dinner you’re eating. Those are my beans!” The only thing missing from the cane was the white flag.

We could almost see the deer laughing, enjoying the excitement of it all. Alex launched a new offensive, running through the garden with her umbrella open, and that seemed to snap the deer out of their green bean coma and they would run. Well, not exactly run; more like a saunter.

DON’T’ FENCE ME IN

Dad bought some fencing. He laid netting over the green beans and around the whole garden area. “That should take care of it,” Dad harrumphed. That very evening, I looked out the window to see all eight deer inside the fencing, their faces under the netting enjoying their green beans. And they were their beans, don’t let anyone kid you. They knew someone had planted a smorgasbord just for them. Not since the Pilgrims and the Indians had such a feast been laid.

Dad was livid. He complained all day long about the Devil Deer. He bought magazine after magazine to find the cure. Here he had been a nurseryman all his life and had never had such a problem with deer. The Devil Deer had ended up smashing all his watermelons as they stumbled through the garden to gobble up the cucumbers. They had to be stopped.

And now, the incident that once and for all sent Dad over the edge.

One day, near dusk, he looked out the back porch and saw all eight deer wolfing down Alex’s morning glories; the ones that she had so painstakingly grown from seed. “ALEX!” he shouted. “Get the umbrella!” She came bounding down the stairs and headed automatically out to the veggie garden until she saw what the deer were eating. “NOT MY MORNING GLORIES!” She grabbed her umbrella and started flapping it like wings. “GET OUT OF HERE!” She rushed the door as fast as her eight-year-old little legs could carry her, and chased the deer off the porch. She wrangled them into the meadow, screaming at the top of her lungs, and although the deer looked at her like they couldn’t believe what this crazy little creature was doing, she did scare them away.

She also scared our neighbor who jumped off his tractor and came flying over to our house to see “if Alex had been shot or something.” When we explained to him about the sacred morning glories and the Devil Deer, he just shook his head.

“It’s time to let it go Harold. You even got your granddaughter all wound up!” Dad didn’t say a thing. He actually didn’t say much after that day.

Two weeks passed without a single word about the deer.

“Did a package come for me?”

“No Dad, are you expecting something?”

He’d shake his head no, but four weeks later a package arrived. The stamps announced that the mystery package had originated in a foreign country. It seems that internet banking scams are not the only things that come from Nigeria. The box was about a ten inch cube and it smelled faintly of cat urine.

“Dad, what is this?” I asked, wondering what the faint odor of cat urine rising from the package could possibly mean.

He grabbed the package from me, trying his best to mask the mischievous grin on his face. “Nobody eats my granddaughter’s morning glories!” He opened the package and it turned out that it actually was cat pee but, not the kind you’d imagine. He had ordered lion urine from Nigeria to pour in the garden. “Grandpa, how do they get the pee?” asked Alex. “From the circus,” he replied.

“You didn’t, Harold.” Mom gasped. “Did you actually order lion pee to scare those deer away?” she asked, with a disgusted look on her face. “Do you think our deer will even recognize the smell of lion pee? How much did you pay for that?”

I don’t think Dad heard a single word she said as he headed for the garden with his cane, a little girl’s umbrella, and a box of Nigerian lion pee. As I watched him hobble to the garden with a new mission, and a revived sparkle in his eye, I knew that I wasn’t going to be the one to tell him that there are no lions in Nigeria.
