Her being practically mute (Pushan was mute because he had his teeth knocked out), her impish and Mercurial features and trickster behavior, her devotion to her ageless male companion Peter Pan (agelessness, which is a Bharani archetype; think of Edward in Twilight who is a Bharani native; also The Evil Queen in Snow White is Bharani, and Tuck in Tuck Everlasting is also a Bharani native and Revati and Bharani are yoni counterparts so they often share storylines in their archetypes), she also took on the role of an adopted mother figure for all of The Lost Boys and Wendy Darling which is another archetypal quality to Revati. Also, her jealousy and vindictiveness towards the female characters who try to take Peter’s attention from her.

( Note: a lot of people say Alexis Bledel is an Ashwini Moon but it’s very possible she has a Revati Moon. Her character in Tuck Everlasting is basically the same as Bella in Twilight, played by Revati Sun Kristen Stewart. They are two young and naive girls who accidentally stumble upon a family of immortal, beautiful creatures one day and she proceeds to fall madly, and dangerously, in love with one of the sons [played by a Bharani man in both films] and begs him to make her immortal too so she can be with him and his family forever due to her love and devotion to him as her companion and protector. She then has to make the life-changing choice of whether or not she wants to be mortal or immortal.)

I’ve also noticed a theme of Revati women being the biological mother or metaphorical mother to sons (specifically male) that grow up to be powerful, great leaders or historical figures. Angelina Jolie, an AA verified Revati Moon, played the mother of Alexander The Great in the 2004 movie Alexander. Annette O’Toole, who has a Revati Sun, played the adoptive mother of Clark Kent/Superman in the hit television show Smallville. Kseniya Rappoport, who can have a Revati Moon, played the mother of Oedipus in a play rendition of the fable Oedipus Rex. This nakshatra is about nourishment of children and animals via providing a safe and welcoming environment for them to grow up without prejudice, fear, and shame, etc. This is why this nakshatra is one of the nakshatras common in adopted families and “found families”, as adopted children are more vulnerable and susceptible than other children to experiencing hardship and suffering. Interestingly, Revati Sun Annette O’Toole also played Lana Lang, one of Superman’s love interests, in the original Superman movies from the 80s and 90s. Possible Revati Moon, Margot Kidder, also played Lois Lane, the main love interest of Superman in these same movies. This goes along with how I pointed out that Revati women tend to be the female companion of an ageless and protective male figure (representing the Bharani energy she is unconsciously seeking due to it being her yoni counterpart).

In the Marvel film, The Eternals, Angelina Jolie and Bharani Moon Ma Dong-Seok play immortal, superpowered magical beings that are also in a time-defying romantic relationship. Her character is an elite cosmic warrior and his character acts as her cosmic protector to take care of her when she succumbs to a magical illness that eats away at her memory. These are also two common archetypes of Revati women and Bharani women. Revati women tend to play supernatural warrior types and Bharani men tend to play fatherly figures who look over a “herd” or group of people in need; similar to Ma Dong-Seok’s character in Train To Busan.

Some Revati women who play this celestial warrior types includes Aya Hirano (Revati Moon) as the hypersexualized Lucy Heartfilia in the anime Fairy Tail, whose character quite literally has a celestial key system that allows her to magically conjure up astrology/zodiac-based protective figures to protect her and fight with her in battles; she also has a magical whip (another pattern for Revati women). Lynda Carter, Revati Moon, played a sexualized version of Wonder Woman on TV from 1975 to 1977, an ageless, celestial warrior with a magical whip. Revati Sun Naoko Matsui voiced the hypersexual character Rem in the anime Dream Hunter Rem, where she played a supernatural warrior who could enter the dreams of others to help kill their demons and change their emotions and lives by manipulating their personal dream plane. She had an array of weapons to kill the demons, which included a celestial pistol and sword and occasionally a whip-like magical entity that she could strike them with. In the anime Trese, the titular character (voiced in Tagalog by AA verified Revati Moon Liza Soberano and in English by Revati Sun Shay Mitchell) is a supernatural detective that solves crimes that involved paranormal and mythical creatures and entities that are bringing suffering to people. The character is able to jump between the human world and the supernatural world and she has two ageless male companions that are tasked with the mission of protecting her during her journey. One of my favorite childhood animes, Sugar Sugar Rune, also starred two Revati voice actresses as the main characters of Chocolat and Vanille; two celestial witch sisters that are heirs to a magical throne in a parallel world full of celestial and supernatural beings foreign to the human world. They are competing with each other to become the next Queen Witch of their world by collecting “energy” from young boys their age in the human world. The more loving and protective the young males are to Chocolat and Vanille, the more successful and abundant the two girls become in their magical skills and power.

> Mae Whitman, who has an AA verified Revati Moon, voiced Tinker Bell in the Disney Channel movies for years. Yara Shahidi, also an AA verified Revati Moon, played the live-action version of Tinkerbell in 2023’s Peter Pan & Wendy. <

This was a nightmare. It starts as excitement that there are so many different ways to classify the nakshatras, then it sort of turns into a bit of overwhelm. The big thing I'm missing is the deities, which I plan to add on later. I will have to do separate notes on all the deities/gods to make sure I'm getting the appearances right.

I will probably leave certain things out like the gender categorical system, birds, trees, gemstones. I probably didn't need to bother making a chart for the directions/movements. Might also expand on existing notesheets if needed.

I'm going to pull my hair out if I come to realize later that I messed some things up.

Alltogether:

She got the idea for the study while walking with her advisor at Stanford to discuss her thesis topic, and the paper she eventually published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2014 is sharp enough that it should have ended the seated meeting on the day it came out.

She ran 4 experiments on 176 people. Same person tested twice. Once sitting, once walking. The creativity tasks were the standard ones psychologists have used for decades to measure how good a brain is at generating novel useful ideas.

81% of participants in the first experiment produced more creative ideas while walking than while sitting. In the second experiment, 88%. In the third, 100%. Every single person walked into a more creative version of themselves. On average, people generated 60% more novel useful ideas the moment their legs started moving.

The skeptical question is the obvious one. Maybe it was the fresh air. Maybe it was the scenery passing by. Maybe it was the change of environment doing the work, not the walking itself.

Oppezzo killed every one of those explanations with one experimental decision. She put people on a treadmill facing a blank wall. No scenery. No fresh air. No environmental change. Just legs moving in place while staring at white drywall. The 60% boost held.

Then she ran the experiment that closed the case completely. She took participants outside in two conditions. Half of them walked through a Stanford courtyard. The other half were pushed through the exact same courtyard in a wheelchair. Same outdoor stimulation. Same scenery passing at the same speed. The only difference was whether the legs were moving.

The walkers produced dramatically more novel high-quality ideas than the wheelchair group. The outdoors did almost nothing on its own. The walking did everything.

She also tested the opposite kind of thinking. Convergent thinking. The kind where there is one right answer and you have to narrow down to it. Word puzzles where 3 words share a hidden fourth word that connects them. The seated participants did slightly better on these. Walkers got slightly worse.

Walking is not a general intelligence enhancer. It does one specific thing. It opens up the divergent search inside your brain. The part that generates options. The part that produces unexpected connections. The part that takes a problem and finds five ways into it instead of one.

When you need to converge on the single right answer, sit down. When you need to find the answer in the first place, get up.

The mechanism is now well understood. Walking selectively activates what neuroscientists call the default mode network, the system inside your brain that runs when you are not consciously focused on anything. The DMN is where mind-wandering happens. Where memories cross-reference each other. Where ideas that have been sitting in separate folders inside your head finally bump into each other.

When you sit at a desk and force yourself to concentrate, you suppress the DMN. When you walk at a natural pace, the executive part of your brain gets just busy enough handling the walking that the DMN comes online and starts doing the work that focus was blocking.

The most useful finding in the entire paper is the one almost nobody quotes. The boost did not turn off the moment people stopped walking. Participants who walked first and then sat back down stayed elevated. Their next round of seated creativity work was still significantly better than people who had been sitting the whole time. The rest lingered for at least several minutes after the legs stopped moving.

You do not need to do creative work while walking. You need to walk before the creative work. The brain holds the state.

how pathetic it is to never gain what you want. even worked hard for it but it's strangely refused to come within your grasp. a tragic reality for some natives is that they never get what they desired or wished for. it's like no sincere prayer is heard and they feel as if a curse has trapped them in a dusty box. close environmental circumstances constrict them whether it's academic failure, poverty, arranged marriage or a hectic job.

punarvasus at their lowest are miserable and suffering from claustrophobia since their life is caving in on them (their house, office etc). tendencies of escapism accelerate to become an instinctual habit at some point and this includes losing ourselves in those pleasurable daydreams. such detrimental coping mechanisms become a self-imposed aphrodisiac for the senses. it's why the movie vanilla sky (2001) captures the malefic expression of this nakshatra aptly to me.

Implementing this has improved how I feel about myself, and HOW I SEE OTHER PEOPLE!!

I’m not a burden to put up with. I’m a person who deserves respect, but does have some idiosyncrasies.

Other people aren’t barely tolerating me, they’re being patient and considerate and working hard to be polite.
