daily reminder to consider sign/house rulership in a chart

just because your 10th house is ruled by mars doesn't mean you'll automatically be suitable for martian careers/jobs--particularly if your mars is gnatikaraka (6th highest degree/2nd lowest degree planet in your chart that gives struggle), has the lowest digbala, sits with a marana karaka sthana planet, is debilitated when put into d10, etc.

ardra = the wild, unstable rain/storm (challenges)

punarvasu = the return of light/the rainbow that forms after the rain (ardra)

pushya = the pot of gold/treasure at the end of the rainbow

ashlesha = the guardians of treasure (nagas)

if you ever come across a man that owns a lint roller, chances are he's a mercury nakshatra man

[appleserpent]

reblogging my own post to show an example lol.

seonghwa from ateez: revati stellium (sun, mercury, mars, saturn)

he also has a 5 step cleaning method

[appleserpent]

s.coups has the most mula-ardra axis tattoo ever lmao.

he's a mula moon and literally has a tree tattoo on his upper back and roots are a symbol of this nakshatra. and seventeen's fandom (carat) is represented by a diamond and the diamond is a symbol of ardra nakshatra. 🥹

Can someone tell me what does feel to have ardra man in their big three..?? AlI get from the internet is they are youthful looking and very talking 😔...while my type is kind of refined masculine looking men who are a listeners 😩.

The worst part is that I manifested having ardra in my men cause I was so fasinated and now I'm not sure anymore....🥺

Oh good Lord 🎀

(most likely) ardra moon guy #1 - my younger cousin. when he was younger he was more prone to moodiness/emotional angry outbursts like shouting in front of the laptop. me also being ardra moon, i shouted at him and gave him an earful to stop doing that lol. i probably should've handled that better and i ended up apologizing to him, though he doesn't have those outbursts anymore. high school onwards he's more to himself/quieter/private, likes memes, video games, some anime/manga. he's also the type to buy/have stuff bought to try out his hobbies/interests but usually they don't seem to last for long. he also has a libra (mainly swati) stellium though.

ardra moon guy #2 - a friend of mine. he has this in the 1st house but it's not his asc nakshatra. idk if he has angry emotional outbursts but i guess if it's emotional outbursts, it would be like crying at a kpop concert? 😅 but if he and/or the people that he cares about are done dirty, idk i guess his words could be harsh, like "CRY ABOUT IT." though his atmakaraka is ashlesha mercury so that could add onto it even more. he has 1h moon with no 8h/12h planets so i guess he wears his heart on his sleeve/what you see is what you get. really likes kpop (we joke that he has too many male biases), following the trends (ex. getting a labubu), wwe, also ariana grande (who has ardra sun), is bi, always changing/dyeing his hair (either some sort of blond or blue)

(most likely) ardra moon guy #3 - my dad's dad/paternal grandfather. he died before i was born but from what i heard, he's an illegitimate child so that's probably a reason for his anger issues and infidelity. i'm definitely not excusing his behaviour but i feel like if the hurt of ardra natives isn't dealt with, like a storm it can create destruction towards multiple innocent people in their lives. also he was known to be a flirt.

i guess those are some prominent examples in my life to give an idea, but it's definitely not limited to that! i think there will be nakshatras we personally don't vibe with and that's okay, and each nakshatra has its up and downs.

also considering ardra moon guy #1 + another guy i know about that has ardra mars sitting with his punarvasu sun + a female ceramicist online that has ardra atmakaraka and amatyakaraka iirc, some ardra natives seem to have an interest in biking/motorcycling (which would go along with the wild theme of ardra)

[velvetywords]

That's quite an interesting insight because I never have thought of ardra's to be over sensitive or someone who shows their emotions. I really had this stereotypes of them being intellectually very self sufficient and kind of like street and book smart.

What about the physical appearance tho..?? Have you noticed the similarity..??

And thank you so much for sharing this with me 🎀💋.

[appleserpent]

i feel like ardra (particularly in the moon) can be a nakshatra that can spiral pretty easily and even terribly if it's not controlled/disciplined enough (ex. impulsively getting tattoos they might regret later on, negative/suicidal thought forms -> actions, alcoholism, etc.) but there should be ardras out there that have this under control. if you ever want more information about ardras, i would suggest watching simon chokoisky's videos since he open up a document about them while talking: video 1, video 2, video 3

anyways, physical appearance lol...

from the ardra moon men that i mentioned before, i don't think i've noticed a consistent physical similarity…? i also don't really have pics of my paternal grandpa, so i can't say 😅

not sure if you've checked out pinterest before though, but on there, people have made albums and compiled pics of ardra sun/moon/asc male celebrities' appearances if you're interested: album 1, album 2, album 3, album 4, album 5

based on these albums, i guess if i had to briefly list down physical traits of ardra men i see so far: bushy/angry eyebrows, a piercing stare, hair that can be a bit messy/unkempt, may be more prone to a disheveled look in general.

*note: if you're using a common ayanamsa + house system like lahiri whole sign, you may notice that there's at least one non-ardra man incorrectly placed in one of those albums (ex. kanye west) so if there's a guy that intrigues you, be sure to double check!

anyways, besides that... fashion wise, i keep seeing people pin ardra nakshatra to grunge, but i also feel like i see ardra natives in comfy/casual skater/streetwear type of fashion. think beanies, oversized hoodies, oversized bomber jackets, baggy pants, ripped jeans, acid wash/bleached denim, etc. their fashion could also be from or inspired by animal products like leather and fur/sherpa due to ardra's ruling deity being rudra (which is a form of shiva) and is depicted wearing animal pelts and a snake wrapped around his neck.

keep in mind these are just generalizations/tendencies i've seen so far and all/not everything will apply.

two cases of men with venus in pushya that i know of:

man #1 - his wife was from a different religion and converted to his. she might've converted before being with him though, but even then, his parents still think she's from her original religion even though she posted a couple of quotes/pictures related to their religion on her facebook. like him, she posts inspirational quotes on there and works in the education sector (though unlike him, she studied law too). she also has a child from a previous marriage/relationship.

man #2 - it's been a long time since i've talked/met up with the dude and i don't think it's ever gonna happen. i think he cut off most/all of the people from his past (and maybe even left his religion) but according to what my cousin told me a long time ago, he was in a relationship with a girl (not sure if he's still with her though) and she had a kid and the dude is certain that it's his/wants to raise the kid as his own but he refuses to take a paternity test. i must admit, i only briefly remember his birthday a long time ago from memory and there might be a very small chance that he's a year older than from what i remember, but imo i feel like with venus being the karaka of the wife/girlfriend, venus in pushya makes way more sense for this event in his life than if it were in bharani.

for those of you who may be unfamiliar, pushya nakshatra's ruling deity is brihaspati and his wife is tara. some say that she had an affair with chandra/soma (moon) because she felt neglected by brihaspati due to his commitment to the devas, and then others say she was kidnapped by chandra (which sparked the tarakamaya war/war over the love of tara). then, it was said that tara bore a child named budha (mercury) and chandra and brihaspati both claimed the child as biologically theirs but in the end, it turned out to be chandra's.

pushya's shakti/power is "the ability to create spiritual energy" so if someone has pushya in a placement that represents the (long term) partner/spouse (venus/mars/jupiter/7th lord/darakaraka) then not only could the illegitimate child and/or third party situation happen, but they could somehow be involved with education/law/counseling as a way of creating spiritual energy through wisdom and improving oneself/humanity. this could be actually working in those fields, this could be posting inspirational quotes/affirmations/scriptures, this could be neglecting the physical world in order to read/learn all day (which then goes back to the tara leaving brihaspati legend), etc.

hmmm.

man #1 might have chitra moon. man #2 has mrigashira sun.

my first-cousin-one-removed has bharani sun and mrigashira venus and right now, he's living outside of his hometown with a girl that already has two kids. his stepdad has chitra sun.

i also remembered that aaron taylor-johnson has mrigashira sun and dhanishta moon, and his wife has 2 kids from her previous marriage.

so i'm wondering if it's a mars nakshatra/rashi man thing for them to step up and take care of kids that are not biologically theirs.

currently thinking about how joseph pilates has mars ashlesha atmakaraka and pilates was inspired by cat movements. he also developed it during prison and has uttara bhadrapada moon (prison = pisces/12h, two bed legs symbolism = uttara bhadrapada).

people like to joke that reformer pilates equipment look like a bdsm bed and ashlesha is said to relate to bdsm lol

also, pilates seems to be pretty popular in south korea (at least with k-pop idols) and apparently sk has ashlesha sun.
