Yama (यम, lit. "Twin") is the Hindu god of Death and Justice. According to the Rig Veda, Yami is the twin sister of Yama. Their mother is Saranyu (who is the daughter of Tvashta, the artisan God) and their father is Vivasvat (associated with the Sun). In Vedic astrology, Yama is the deity of the Bharani nakshatra (Lunar Mansion. Indian zodiac: 13° 20 - 26°40 Aries, Western zodiac 7°06 - 20°26 Taurus ), ruled by the planet Shukra (Venus). Bharani (The Star of Restraint) is the nakshatra of death and rebirth. Its Shakti (Power) is the Apabharani Shakti : The Power to "Take Things Away and Move On or Power to Cleanse and Remove Impurities".
