It's amazing how the geologist Ted Ringwood, who had researched and hypothesised decades ago that there is water hidden in the middle of the earth, turns out to be a Purva Ashadha Moon native.
Purva Ashadha is ruled by Apas, the personification of the cosmic waters herself.
This "underworld" water supply is currently stored in minerals that were named after him: Ringwoodite. They're fossilised right above the earth's core (scattered between the upper and lower mantle); he was right all along.
I also recalled how Uttara Bhadrapada's deity, Ahir Budhnya (the serpent of the deep), represents the foundation/base/bedrock or perhaps, core, of our world. Apparently, he "safeguards", but I would say hoards, precious minerals too. Furthermore, this nakshatra grants varshodyamana shakti, the power to bring rains.
And now we find out that there's an abundant water source hidden in rocks way down below? Hmmmm...
Anyhow, it is rather intriguing that the two nakshatras directly connected to the water element arose so aptly in this consideration; both of them are often revered as Goddess Lakshmi's sacred abodes. This does make me wonder if water, rather than soil/land, was once worshipped as the primordial "mother". The ocean is the "source" of all life on earth, supposedly. Also, both these nakshatras lie at the heart of the Jupiter-ruled rashis, Sagittarius and Pisces, which represent the stages of spiritual evolution and liberation, respectively.
As mentioned before, Venus-ruled nakshatras are always the ones providing breakthrough insights on all things physical: matter. Venus is also a jala tattva graha/water element planet, unsurprisingly.
Oh and Ring-woodite. "Ring"? 🪐 Really?
In Shatabhisha ⭕️, the shadow planet Rahu exposes the pointlessness & limitations of this three-dimensional reality/lower consciousness; vicious cycles are revealed. It helps us perceive artificial control and then shakes us out of its illusion. But Uttara Bhadrapada 🐍 is the actual and final physical barrier to transcend.
