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.

Vishakha – Indragni, the United Fire 🔥⚡ Indragni represents the combined forces of Indra and Agni, two powerful and passionate gods. Indra, king of the gods and ruler of Jyeshtha, is a heroic yet vulnerable figure—ambitious, strategic, and constantly striving to protect his sovereignty. Agni, ruler of Krittika, is the god of fire. With his seven tongues, he can consume everything in his path, yet above all, he is the divine messenger—the sacred bridge between mortals and the gods 🔥🌈 Both deities share immense appetite, desire, and intensity, which can sometimes lead to excess or mistakes. Yet this very fusion makes Vishakha a nakshatra of drive, determination, and transformative power.

Svati – Vayu, God of the Wind 🌪️🦌Vayu is the god of wind, air, and prana — the sacred breath of life itself. He is the force that cuts the newborn from the umbilical cord and gives independent life, consciousness, and movement 🌬️✨ Without oxygen, there is no life.

But air is not only physical: it also carries thoughts, emotions, vibrations, and inspiration. The wind can be gentle and sweet 🍃 or violent and destructive 🌩️, which is why Vayu also represents strength and power.

Vayu is said to be the leader of the celestial musicians 🎶🌌 He carries melodies through the skies, spreading sound, rhythm, and divine inspiration everywhere he moves. Ancient texts describe him riding a shining chariot pulled by red or purple horses — sometimes 39, 100, or even 1000 of them 🐎🔥 He is also often depicted riding an antelope 🦌, symbolizing speed, grace, and freedom.

Most famously, Vayu is the father of Hanuman 🐒💨, the mighty monkey god known for his immense strength, devotion, courage, and supernatural abilities. Svati carries this same energy: movement, freedom, intelligence, and adaptability.

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 👁️🌍

A commission for @chainedbychoice / @deaddovestellnotales, of their oc Curume and his partner Vayu! I love writing with you, merry Christmas!

What a difference a few months of love and care can compassion can make in the life of an elephant. This is Vayu who was rescued earlier this year. His beautiful thick tusks are instantly recognizable. Here he’s out for a peaceful evening stroll, a simple pleasure he was deprived of most of his life.

When Brahma becomes angry and attempts burn all humans to ash, Shiva mollifies him. From Brahma's residual anger, a woman comes to life, who Brahma then names Mrityu and directs her to kill all the older humans.

Mrityu, out of her natural-born mercy, flat-out refuses to comply and sets out to perform a long tapasya, trying to change Brahma's mind. After a long time, she and Brahma come to a compromise. Brahma converts her shed tears into 'diseases' to help her kill the people without too-much cruelty, and also promises to shield her from any ill-will showed from the dead people's family members.

Brahma also directs Mrityu to use the services of Kama, Krodha and Vayu to achieve her purpose. She is also tasked with, in time, killing the Devas, allowing them to incarnate as humans, and promoting humans to the level of new Devas to replace the old guard in a cyclical manner.

The type of voices the Dieties have...

Vishnu: As sweet as honey yet regal as fuck.. like when he speaks even if he speaks things you don't understand you'll feel like “wah kya samjhaya hai”

Shiva: DEEP AF voice but also as soft as the cottons. If you just play music, all his words will automatically feel like lyrics

Brahma: Naturally low toned, calm voice and sounds mature.... Like more than normal typa mature... As if your father have pulled you aside to tell you how he had experienced life.

Varuna: When normal sounds like ocean waves dancing but kinda high pitched... But when angry and he speaks to you, it's as if you are struck in a tsunami or a tornado

Indra: His voice is actually very very sweet and jiggly like the rain... The kind of rain people enjoy listening to. But when angry it's rumbling like thunder, an word is enough to scare the shit out of you

Mitra: Deep voice but it also gives you a sense of home, a feeling you get when someone understands you, someone puts an hand around your shoulder and smiles at you... A feeling of having a friend.

Parvati: Soft sweet voice. The one your mother uses when she's happy with you. If she speaks, you will just want to curl up in a ball and ask for food. You'll feel like a child if she speaks to you. But her ferocious forms speak so different you'll feel like someone is painfully tearing you up into pieces just from words..

Saraswati: She sounds like that one teacher you were sure would clear all your doubts with a calmness you never understand how it was everlasting. She just doesn't know how to speak angrily. Even when she's angry she'll speak in such a manner you'll feel guilty for making her angry (this method is tested and proven on Brahma)

Lakshmi: She just calls you poor in all the existing languages lol.... Ok no but she speaks so regal it sounds like if you pour a ton of coins on the ground. Really. But also you'll just keep wanting to listen to her.

Ganga: Soft like the river flow when she's really really nice. But also wild, unstoppable, and sharp like the cutting sharp streams of the river Ganga.

Vayu: Whispery, windy tone like the air. Softly speaking to make you feel safe and happy. But it also changea according to his mood. Like when he's angry it's storm it gives you no corner to hide, if he's sad it's monsoon wind.. cold and you don't really like ot much..

Surya: His voice is...umm Bright. Like literally. When he speaks it's as if the window was open and the sun rays smacked you across your face waking you up from sleep. But also his voice is warm and gives a feeling of safety.

Chandra: Cold. His voice is cold. But not in a bad ignoring manner cold. It's the cooling effect you get on summer nights, the peace you get when you look at the night sky ans spot the moon. It's soft and melodious and beautiful just like the moon. But if you look closely it got some spots in it. And sometimes his voice cracks... Not because he's in pain or sadness, it's just a natural thing for him.

Varuni: She just sounds drunk. No I mean she definitely speaks normal but also her voice makes YOU drunk. Maybe take it in a romantic way or whatever but it's true (it works, Varuna agrees)

Vasant: Deep voice like the tree trunk but also soft like the flowers he wears around his neck. He makes you remember home, gives you a longing for home, but alao makes you feel at home.

Kama: He speaks to you in a way that makes you feel loved. No not necessarily romantic love but all kinds of love. You just feel loved. Also he used terms like “love” “sweetheart” “dear” in regular conversations so yeah...

Rati: Contrary to popular opinion no she doesn't sound lusty 24/7. Well... Maybe a little... But she actually sounds really sweet and soft like a childhood friend or neighborhood sister

Aranyani: She sounds when gentle breezes blow and makes the forest trees dance, like the animals that makes sound in a forest... Can be scary sometimes but you'll also love listening to her.

Pushan: Like marriages bells, happy wishes, as if a letter came from someone you love. Don't know how to elaborate it but his voice gives a kind of joy, that you get when you know “haa ab life mein sab sahi hoga”

Kartik: Soft but somehow a bit awkward voice... like he's sure what he's speaking of but is he speaking the correct way? But if he's angry its War Cry. He'll tear you apart with words just like his mother.

Ganesh: Sounds like that topper backbencher kid. Knowledged asf but also mischievous but you'll like listening to him thou, it's like having a cousin at a boring family function.

Devsena/Shashthi: She also sounds like a mother but she sounds like she's coddling and pampering you, spoiling you with all kinds of foods and stuffs, she not just sounds like a mom but she'll make you feel like a smol baby too.

Lmao it's long sorry and I know I didn't cover most... Whom should I add next?

*sobs* THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

The way you explained all of these 😭

No words.

Perfect!

Next you can add Shukra, Budh, Ila/Sudyumna, Yama, Agni, Ayyappan, Ashvins, Aryaman, Vac, Dyaus, Alakshmi, Yami, Rudra, Savitr and more if ya want! :D

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH UGHHH
