Disclaimer: unlike the ☀️ solar signs, the 🌙 lunar signs, aka, the nakshatras, are not ruled by planets. They are ruled by deities. The planets you will find regarding the nakshatras are only associated to them. Planets do not rule the nakshatras. As some nakshatras overlap two signs, you will see this nakshatra and the same deity in both of these signs.

Chitra – Tvashta, the Celestial Architect 🛠️✨Tvashta is the divine craftsman, the celestial architect who creates forms and shapes all living beings 🌌🪷 He is considered a universal father and belongs to the illustrious lineage of Bhrigu: connected to Shukra (Venus), the Ashvins of Ashvini, and Brihaspati, the priest of the devas who rules Pushya ⭐

Tvashta is a master artisan and magician of creation. He forges the divine weapons of the gods ⚔️🔥, creates entire realms, and guards the precious Soma, the nectar of immortality 🍶✨ Nothing escapes his vision: he is described as the all-seeing god, with eyes, faces, arms, and feet on every side 👁️🌍

Yet behind the creator lies fierce protective power. When his family is harmed, Tvashta responds through the force of sacred mantras and creates the terrifying Vrtrasura 🐉⚡, one of Indra’s greatest enemies. Chitra reflects this divine energy of craftsmanship, beauty, precision, and creative intelligence.

Hasta – Savita, the Morning and Evening Sun ☀️👐: Savita (or Savitr) is a special form of the Sun. He is not the blazing midday sun, but rather the gentle sun of sunrise and sunset 🌅✨. His rays are cooler and softer, guiding beings from sleep into activity and from activity back into rest.

Savita governs cycles, rhythms, and the patient unfolding of life. He reminds us that true mastery and perfection are not achieved overnight, but through consistency, discipline, and steady effort ⏳🌱.

The Vedas describe him as having golden arms ✨👐 that extend across the world, blessing and guiding all creatures. His speech is sweet and pleasant, bringing harmony wherever it is heard 🎶💛. He rides a magnificent golden chariot with a golden axle, capable of assuming countless forms, just as Savita himself is omniform and present throughout creation 🌞🚩.

His brilliance illuminates both air and space, filling the universe with life and movement 🌌💫. So great is his power that even mighty deities such as Indra (Jyeshtha/Vishakha), Varuna (Shatabhisha), Mitra (Anuradha), Aryaman (Uttara Phalguni), and Rudra (Ardra) cannot resist his divine will. The gods themselves follow his lead, making Savita one of the great sustaining forces of cosmic order 👑☀️.

Hasta reflects this energy through skillful hands, patience, and the ability to shape one's destiny through consistent effort 🤲✨.

Uttara Phalguni – Aryaman, the Generous Guide 🌟🤝: Aryaman is one of the noble Adityas and a guardian of social order, honor, customs, and sacred traditions 📜✨. As the king of the ancestors, he preserves the wisdom of those who came before us and encourages respect for lineage, heritage, and family bonds 🌳👴👵.

His path is said to be the Milky Way itself 🌌, symbolizing the journey back to one's roots and the connection between generations. Through Aryaman, we remember where we come from and understand the responsibilities that accompany our place within society.

In the Rig Veda, Aryaman is frequently invoked alongside Mitra (Anuradha) and Varuna (Shatabhisha) 🤝🌙☀️. Together, they uphold harmony, agreements, morality, and the proper functioning of both the human and divine worlds.

Aryaman is also associated with hospitality, generosity, companionship, and noble conduct 🏡💛. He governs the bonds that unite people: friendships, alliances, marriages, and social obligations.

Unlike rulers who command through force, Aryaman leads through dignity, fairness, and mutual respect 👑✨. His guidance teaches that true prosperity comes not only from personal success but also from helping others, honoring commitments, and maintaining strong relationships.

Uttara Phalguni carries this generous and stabilizing energy 🌿🌞. It is a nakshatra of support, loyalty, responsibility, and lasting partnerships.

I fear this is gonna be a long post.

1. Vasanta

Everyone knows "vasanta" as the spring season but barely anyone knows that all the seasons in Hindu mythology are personified, including Vasanta, who's heralded as the "king of seasons".

Secondly he's the third member of the Kama-Rati gang, making them a well-established trio and Kama-Rati treating him like a younger bro and even son sometimes.

Vasanta is as coquette as the rest of his gang, and also Krishna is constantly compared to him and he is compared to Krishna. They are sometimes even called the same names, like "Madhu" or "Madhav". And Indra the King of Gods himself keeps glazing Vasanta for his beauty (ngl I would too). In fact, one time he told Rambha, an apsara, that Vasanta should go before her to woo a sage. So yeah. He's just slay like that.

Also Vasanta Panchami's predecessor (Vasantapuja) actually worshipped Vasanta alongside Kama, Rati, and Shiva. But now we don't really have a trace of a puja offering towards him, and it's mostly about Saraswati.

2. Vedic Saraswati

Speaking of Saraswati, she was Athena before she became Hestia. She rode a chariot (almost every deity had a chariot at the time), fought battles, had immense water powers, given she was the literal personification of THE legendary Saraswati river, and you can tell the Rigvedic priests were obsessed by it (since the river began to decline rapidly by the time their ancestors arrived India).

But people these days barely acknowledge her Vedic era self. She gives retired war veteran Bob Ross vibes to me because of this. But it's about time we acknowledge her badass past.

3. Sarasvān

Saraswati's OG husband (but sometimes also her son.... So you gotta pick one. The 'son' thing happened in the Puranas). I usually headcanon Saraswati as aroace but if she were to have a husband, I would pick him over Brahma every single day. Sarasvān is often considered the guardian of water, ocean and even as the sun. I just think he needs more recognition as a water deity yk.

4. Vāk

Goddess of speech and mother of the Vedas, before she became just another form of Saraswati. She and Indra are guardians to each other, and Pushan also guards her. Sometimes she's heralded as the queen of serpents, and sometimes she's represented as a cow (ofc it's a cow). She is even considered the Brahman sometimes, and that the universe arose from her. She has such immense power and versatility (in regards to the domains she's in charge of) that she probably was the predecessor to the current Shakti, as both of them have similar qualities and power. She doesn't seem to have any consort (slay), cuz she's just that OP yk.

She and Saraswati barely have anything in common except their aroace-like personality and being deities of speech. But again, Saraswati was initially mostly (if not only) a river goddess, so even that doesn't hold much water (pun unintended). I guess in a way, Vak is similar to Khaos/Chaos from Greek mythology, since she's so conceptual, abstract and shrouded in mystery in terms of appearance and all. No wonder she was compared to the Brahman, who has similar qualities.

5. Shishira

We usually think that we don't have a snow god like other mythologies. Wrong. Shishira, or the personification of winter mentioned in the Lalitopakhyana, is our snow AND winter god. Every season there is personified so we also have Grishma (summer), Varsha (monsoon), Sharada (autumn) and Hemanta (Early winter). And we already know about Vasanta.

Literal description of Shishira:

So he's just a chill guy (pun intended). Also the fact that he's called Shyāmā. Awesome.

6. Aryaman

TvT FIRST VAYU THEN AGNI IM DED

Can you tell me who all are the Adityas and what are they a God of? (asking for research purposes, and I don't trust wikipedia)

NUHHHHHH

His dad is Brahma 😌✨ (most of the times) but he does get's considered as an Aditya sometimes too....

Noi Indragni are boyfriends 🗿✨ (it's canon)

Ok so the Adityas are all solar deities ☀️✨ like Surya 🌞 is the complete God of Sun as you know (he got too many names like Vivasvat or Bhaskar or etc etc)

But then Indra is associated with rain 🌧️⛈️ thunder⚡⛈️🌩️ and clouds ☁️✨

Vishnu gets the special place of being the ✨preserver✨ (Mitra is also considered preserver)

Varuna get's the sky 🌌, oceans 🌊✨ and water 💦🌊💧✨ (don't confuse him with Samudra that guy's different)

Mitra our very own God of ✨ friendships ✨🤝

Then there's Pushan, he's the God of marriage ✨, cattles 🐄🐂🐃 also I think and the journey of humans to afterlife... Or just journeys if I remember correctly

Then there's Aryaman he's the lord of tribes and stallions and customs Ig but sun ☀️ too ofcourse

Then Savitr he's also Sun God ☀️🌞, sun rays etc etc ✨☀️✨

Bhaga is there, I forgot but ig he's supposed to be like Aryaman like God of ✨ prosperity and marriage ☀️✨ and stuff

Hmmmm I forgot if there were anyone else... But I'm sure I'm missing someone or the other..

Was Tvastar considered an Aditya?? I forgot... Sorry 😭 but know he's the builder God... Sometimes he get's confused with Vishwakarma too but they are different (he's the daddy of Vritra)

Or as I write it Aryomén. Also found as Háryomēn (with a hard h like the ch in loch) or H₂eryo-men. His name means something like "the God of how we do things"

Aryomén is the god of peace, law, contracts, trade, roads, marriage, healing and social order. He is the god of the Dhḗtis, the norms that society has put in place in order for harmony to exist between humans. This stands in contrast to Dyéus, who presides over the Ártus, the cosmic natural law of the universe.

Aryomén enforces justice, contracts and oaths. He presides over the orderly and successful continuation of society. He is a special patron of lawyers, but also of all those others who contribute to the infrastructure of society: road workers, sewage cleaners, bus drivers, etc.

Áryomen also is a patron of roads, marriage and healing, as institutions helpful in restoring and fostering welfare in society.

Basically if your essence could be distilled into a pretty perfume bottle, what would your signature scent be? Pick your pile here 👆

Pile 3 : and the wait is over. I apologize for not being clear about how these posts would be scheduled😬🤭 Thank you so much for your patience ❤️ If this reading resonates, please reblog/ drop me telling me how you feel about your signature scent

Give me a horse and I'll make my own map.

Curiosity. Preparation and a spirit of discovery. Like Christmas trees in the wild. soft, dewy grass under aching feet. White fig and Mountain laurels.Cotton balls raining down like snow.

Oak wood.

You remind me of a time when honor and integrity still meant something. You honored your promises and held yourself to a high personal code of conduct. What does a veteran warrior's blade smell like? It smells like skill, the clang of metal on metal and the wisdom to de escalate issues to prevent the dogs of war from tearing into your land. Strategy meets skill. Like when you press a notebook to your nose and smell dry ink + clean paper. It's one of my favorite smells and whispers reliable safe haven to me.

You smell like muted confidence and the conviction to chart your own path. Let people say what they might, you're unbothered because you're doing what's right for YOU. I wonder how it feels to live like you. You're more visuals and melody than smell. If I woke up and found myself on a walk up the Himalayas, in a quaint Indian town(Khajiar for reference if you wanna look it up) , to a Kashmiri apple orchard, I imagine I'd get a whiff of your essence. I couldn't conjure a bottle to hold your unique aromatic blend. To contain it is to taint it. You're not reckless. You're quiet because you don't need to scream to be heard. You're the sting of crisp mountain breeze . You've been on horseback so long you probably smell of the forest, wet earth , and the finest leather harness in the realm. There's a small journal strapped to your waist isn't there? It smells like ink, edelweiss and baby powder. Your scent is clean, reminiscent of childhood soap, fresh linen and rain on a glass window.

Petrichor was the first thing to come through.

That lovely smell after it rains? It actually comes from an oil plants release when it rains because they finally realize that their fear of drought was unfounded. You smell like relief, of faith, of courage, like the peace of releasing a breath you didn't know you'd been holding. Your fragrance lingers days longer than the bottle claims. Are you planet earth? I just feel like you smell like success, regardless of how long it takes. Humans could wipe themselves off the face of the earth , but Planet Earth will still be here in the end.

For those of you who send me cupcakes / coffee as a thank you, I made a tip jar.it's never a necessity but appreciated. Your words mean a lot to me. Feedback makes me happy dance ❤️

Disclaimer: unlike the ☀️ solar signs, the 🌙 lunar signs, aka, the nakshatras, are not ruled by planets. They are ruled by deities. The planets you will find regarding the nakshatras are only associated to them. Planets do not rule the nakshatras. As some nakshatras overlap two signs, you will see this nakshatra and the same deity in both of these signs.

Purva Phalguni – Bhaga, the God of Opulence 🌸💎: Bhaga is one of the twelve Adityas, the solar deities who uphold the cosmic order ☀️. He presides over the moment when the Sun gently descends toward the western horizon 🌅—the end of the working day, when effort gives way to rest, celebration, and the enjoyment of life's blessings.

In the Rig Veda, Bhaga is praised as the "giver of wealth," "possessor of opulence," and the deity of rightful inheritance, prosperity, fortune, and fair sharing 💰🤲.

Bhaga is often associated with happiness, love, pleasure, generosity, and the rewards earned through honest effort 🌺✨. While he bestows worldly comforts and good fortune, his consort Siddhi represents spiritual accomplishment and perfection 🪷.

He is depicted as a radiant, smiling deity, immense in stature, seated peacefully upon a lotus 🌸☀️—a symbol of prosperity blooming from purity and wisdom.

Purva Phalguni reflects this joyful energy: creativity, beauty, love, generosity, relaxation, and the ability to fully appreciate the blessings that life has to offer 💖🌿.

Magha – The Pitris, the Ancestor Guides 👑🕊️

The Pitris are commonly understood as the ancestors, but Vedic tradition gives them a far deeper meaning 🌌. They are often described as elevated ancestral beings whose role is to guide departed souls, protect family lineages, and sometimes communicate through dreams or subtle inspiration 🌙✨.

They are the guardians of tradition, culture, ethics, and lineage 📜🌳. Through them, knowledge and values are transmitted from one generation to the next, preserving the continuity of both families and civilizations.

When the Pitris are honored and remembered, they are said to bless their descendants with health, prosperity, harmony, and protection 🙏💛. This is why ancestor remembrance occupies such an important place in many Vedic rituals.

The Pitris include both human ancestors, those from whom we descend directly, and divine ancestors, the primordial beings regarded as the progenitors of humanity. Depending on the tradition, these may include figures such as Yama, the lord of the departed, or Manu, the archetypal ancestor of mankind 🌍. Similar concepts exist in many cultures—for example, Adam in the Christian tradition.

Magha embodies this profound connection with ancestry 👑✨. It reminds us that our roots are a source of strength, that we inherit more than genetics🌳⭐.

📖 According to the Taittiriya Brahmana, Bhaga is identified as the deity of Uttara Phalguni rather than Aryaman. However, Aryaman is unquestionably one of the Phalguni deities and remains the figure most commonly associated with Uttara Phalguni in many Vedic traditions.

So maybe the Gods tease him sometimes for having a fem name like

Mitra: O Savita deviiiii XDD Savitr: Mitra I SWEAR TO MYSELF-

LMFAOOOO WHAT im sorry that's very... Funny 💀💀💀😭

But would it be funny if Mitra and Aryaman sometimes forces him in pretty pretty clothes and make him look like the Devi he is :3

LMFAO 💀

Maybe he got tired of third wheeling Varuni and Revati too... Or maybe he's there but doesn't do much stuff... 💀
