Vedic Astrology Confessions

No comment.

If there is one nakshatra I could refer to as 'the Tyrant Nakshatra', if there ever really is one (honestly, I don't think so. Evil does not discriminate by birth charts), it would be CHITRA.

Ruled by the deity Vishwakarma, Chitra's symbols include a bright jewel and a pearl. Vishwakarma is an artisan, patron to all craftsmen and the architect of the gods. Fitting with these themes, Chitra's shakti (power) is to accumulate merit in life, resulting in gaining honor from one's own work. Well, how does this translate in the modern world? It's not always benevolent....actually, the dark side of this nakshatra is absolutely horrific. I'm not exaggerating here when I say that this one nakshatra DOMINATES among politicians in general---especially those who commit mass atrocities against humanity.

Chitra, in a more negative sense, can invoke a perfectionism oriented towards others, a desire to craft their ideals into the world. Chitra natives are deeply passionate about how society should be run and enforced. While this isn't bad by itself, in an evil politician, it can lead to an attraction towards brutal, systematic violence enacted against opponents along with adopting ideologies which (1) justify this use of violence to maintain power above all else, and (2) venerate the leader's own demographics (ethnicity, race, religion, culture, etc.) as superior to outsiders.

One example of Chitra's love for tyrannical behavior is Idi Amin, former President of Uganda from 1971-1979, who had Moon in this asterism. During his regime, he committed ethnic cleansing of the Indian minority within Uganda, seized power through a military coup (supported by Is***l), waged war against Tanzania, and persecuted numerous other minorities within Uganda. Political opponents were brutally murdered; some were thrown into the Nile River.

Amassing terrifyingly high death counts seem to be favorite activities for the evil politicians of this nakshatra, once they reach a certain amount of political power.

Moving past Idi Amin, other notable evil ass politicians with Chitra in their big 3 include:

Adolf Hitler (ASC), who seized power in Germany and proceeded to cause WW2 and the Holocaust, one of the worst genocides in human history.

Joseph Stalin, possible Chitra Moon, a ruthless, brutal dictator who ruled the Soviet Union with an iron fist. His collectivization efforts resulted in the ethnic cleansing of numerous minority groups such as Kazakhs and Ukrainians within the USSR.

Ivan the Terrible (Moon), the first Tsar of Russia, who committed violent purges such as the Massacre of Novgorod with his secret police, the Oprichniki.

Benjamin Netanyahu (Sun and Moon), current Prime Minister of Israel. Enough said.

(I want to add another pattern: paranoia. In their later lives, these evil ahh politicians become paranoid and end up decimating even their once-closest allies, their inner circle, in an attempt to keep power).

To less...examples among "democratic" countries, we have Woodrow Wilson (ASC), who believed in ideas of racial purity; he was a staunch white supremacist who viewed black people as inferior. During his term as U.S. President, he segregated the U.S. post office and many other federal buildings alongside showing support for the Ku Klux Klan.

(Okay, I HAD TO insert a Yu-Gi-Oh meme in here)

This will be a post on the Vedic big 3 (Sun/Moon/ASC) of U.S. Presidents. I wanted to list any common themes I find here (numbered from most current to oldest):

*Debate between several birthtimes, so I will not include his ASC here, but I will add a poll for what ASC do we think this guy was.

Sun in Capricorn (Dhanishta), Moon in Aries (Bharani) conj. Rahu.

Yeah, he's probably one of the most extreme examples of weak Venus out there.

He is also a possible Purva Phalguni Moon. I've definitely noticed a pattern with Purva Phalguni men and horrific sex scandals/crimes in public figures. Another example of this pattern is the guy who played Mr. Big in SATC, Chris Noth, who has Purva Phalguni ASC, and Marquis de Sade himself, who also had Purva Phalguni Moon.

Jupiter is lowkey nepotism, favoritism.

I understand where you're coming from. I think the original asker meant that Venus nakshatras were overrated when it came to online Vedic communities, not that Shukracharya himself is overrated.

Shukracharya is considered to be shunned by the devas and out of spite decides to guru to the Asuras. To give the Asuras a fighting chance, Shukracharya performed intense penance to Lord Shiva and acquired the Mrita Sanjeevani mantra. This sacred knowledge allowed him to resurrect fallen Asuras during battles against the gods.

Shukracharya is considered this fierce and formidable opponents, but in real life I feel Venus Nakshatras are deeply insecure but hide it by focusing on materialistic goals and prioritize pleasure. They treat people as a means to an end rather than real people. It reminds me of people that disposes of others when they are no longer useful to them or treat those that don't meet their standards or are unattractive to them as not human. They also remind of those people that say they want a very attractive partner by are themselves don't put much effort into their appearance being unhygienic or lacking basic etiquette. Their exclusionary nature actually renders them very 1-Dimensional, because they allow only certain folks to enter their lives, pushing away people from all walks of life that could actually help them. Venus natives remind me of people that would have an excellent relationship with someone but because they don't fit their ideals will not even hesitate to end conversation or look in their direction.

This is a bit of friendly fire because I do have a Purva Ashadha Moon but someone needs to call them out on their shitty personality traits that I do believe can be corrected but yeah I used to relate to the traits mentioned above but I have been decided to be open to other rather than flat out rejecting them based on stupid standards, I truly want the best for everyone now regardless of race, class, income level, gender or sexual orientation. I have realized that being kind and open to others has greatly helped me to feel that I have fulfilling relationship but not treating everyone as a means to an end.

Now THIS is an unpopular opinion.

Well, I honestly don't know many Venus nakshatras IRL so I cannot fight against what you're saying per se. I guess it depends on how you define a nakshatra as 'overrated' as well.

From my observations on public figures, Purva Phalguni tends to be the 'worst' of the Venus nakshatras---the men are especially dumpster fires. When I used to talk to strangers on Discord servers, I met a Purva Phalguni Moon man who waxed lyrical about how 'woke culture' was ruining everything and how he got banned from a server for venting about how he 'happens to be a straight man looking for a woman'....

Meanwhile, he was thirty years old and still living with his parents. Like be for fucking real.

NOTE: Before I start this observation, I want to add: just because you have Rohini in your big three, it doesn't mean you will be an evil ass dictator. Free will is real and we all have agency to make our own choices. Plenty of amazing people and loved ones of mine have Rohini in their big three. YOUR NAKSHATRAS DO NOT DETERMINE HOW GOOD OR BAD OF A PERSON YOU ARE. This series is just an exploration of the worst aspects of each nakshatra through...evil ahh politicians.

Throughout my amateur hobby of political science, I have noticed one nakshatra appear again and again in the birth charts of dictators: ROHINI. One notable example for this article is the man who coined the term FASCISM itself, Benito Mussolini, who ruled as Il Duce over Italy from 1922 to 1943, who had Moon in Rohini. Siding with fellow Libra Lagna fascist Adolf Hitler during WW2, he was certainly an evil, evil man.

During his reign, he destroyed civil liberties within Italy, invaded Ethiopia, committed genocide in Libya (and Ethiopia, along with direct involvement in the Holocaust). His ideology could be described in terms such as ultra-nationalism, the State over all else, totalitarianism, and the embrace of corporatism at the expense of everyone who did not fit in his perfect ideal.

One thing cishet Rohini men love is control. When they gain political power, their controlling ways extend past just their partners and relatives to entire nations and states. The end result? Oppression. Their giant egos construct personality cults based upon themselves (this characteristic is also shared with Hasta). Their paranoia results in the creation of secret police who terrify their general populace.

While many Rohini politicians are not fascists, there is always a tendency among them to oppress their constituents and opponents (especially their opponents) through disturbingly brutal methods.

Here are a list of authoritarian politicians who have Rohini in their big 3. Every single one of them have been dubbed as dictatorial by their opponents:

Muammar al-Gaddafi, former Prime Minister of Libya: Rohini Sun.

Idi Amin: Rohini Sun. I will talk about him more in detail in my Chitra post.

Augusto Pinochet, who established a military junta in Chile and committed numerous extrajudicial murders: Rohini Moon.

Nicolae Ceaucescu, former President of Socialist Romania, who destroyed the country's agricultural industry through terrible economic policies, and whose bans on contraception and abortion resulted in skyrocketing maternal mortality rates. A whole generation of orphans resulted because of his policies. Seriously, look it up. It's so thoroughly fucked up. He had Rohini ASC.

Francisco Franco, former Caudillo of Spain, had Rohini Moon. Predictably, he rose to power as a military general (wtf is it with this nakshatra and the military) and brutally repressed his civilian populace. He utilized concentration camps, forced labor and executions to maintain control over Spain. He was also...a fucking ultranationalist.

Hideki Tojo, former Prime Minister of Japan during WW2, had Rohini Moon. By the end of his tenure, he was executed for war crimes and crimes against fucking humanity. This guy was a key military leader who allowed and oversaw the Nanjing Massacres of the late 1930s. Genuinely pure evil.

Hugo Chavez, former President of Venezuela, has Rohini Moon. While some of his economic policies were indeed beneficial for the country, he let power get into his head and seized control of the Venezuelan government in his own hands. Democratic erosion and backsliding of Venezuelan institutions? Murder of protestors? He got you there. He was also...a fucking nationalist.
