Hi diva!!! Came from twitter to say you’re an incredible astrologer and I love your observations❣️
My question is general, but I wanted to know what you think of each of the Saturn Nakshatras, their symbolism/any tidbits you can give? Thank you!! 🌹
hi honey love !! thanks for being so kind 🥰
so the modern association of "ruling planets" for the 27 nakshatras is actually just an organizational tool used to sequence a person's planetary periods (dashas) as defined by the vimshottari dasha system. the true rulers of the nakshatras are the Devas that are individually associated with each of them !!
i still want to give you some insight though, so let's talk about:
PUSHYA NAKSHATRA (3°20 to 16°40 cancer)
the Nakshatra Devata for pushya is Lord Brihaspati, who is actually the embodiment of planet jupiter !! and one of the most famous stories of Lord Brihaspati is the story of Him and Maa Tara.
Brihaspati is known as Devaguru (lit. "the divine teacher of the Gods"). because of His role, He becomes intensely absorbed in His spiritual duties, scriptural rituals, and His prestigious position as the priest of the Gods. and even though Lord Brihaspati's work was extremely important, it consumed all of His attention, leaving Maa Tara feeling emotionally abandoned and driving Her to seek affection elsewhere — ironically, She ends up finding it from the moon God, Chandra. the very planet that rules over the sign of cancer.
all of this is to say that pushya nakshatra, and the sign of cancer in general, is a message that life is not just about work, prestige, status, and fulfilling obligations. we have to nurture the other areas of human experience. to be "lazy" and enjoy days where you do nothing, to have sex or other physical comforts, to eat what you want without guilt or grief, to spend time listening to music or nothing at all. pushya nakshatra teaches us to nourish ourselves with activities that don't involve labor because it's important for feeling fulfilled in life.
