Some Notes On Ardra 💧

This Nakshatra is contained within 6.40-20.00 Sidereal Gemini.

The deity is Rudra the main symbol is a teardrop. An alternative symbol is a diamond 💎

The animal yoni is a female dog. The planetary ruler is Rahu.

This Nak is apart of Shiva’s entourage.

You can relate to this post if you have one or more of the following placemants in Ardra: Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Atmakaraka, Lagnesh, or Ketu.

» They feel out of place in the world.

» This Nak to me represents outcasts, people who have experienced some form of rejection in society. They struggle to fit in with peers.

» Ardra is connected to science fiction.

» It is common that authors, writers, directors, actors in the Sci-Fi genre have Ardra prominent in their chart.

» This Nakshatra is also connected to electronics.

» Ardra natives are likely to be good with technology or work in that industry.

» They love music. many Ardras are musicians, dancers, singers, artists, producers, songwriters etc.

» They are hopeless romantics though, and never give up hope of finding their “soulmate”.

» To their desired person they are the ideal partner: loving, passionate, gentle, caring, generous.

» But for some reason their relationships sometimes take a turn for the worst, often due to external factors.

» They can feel “cursed” when it comes to love

» They can be very s3xual individuals or completely celibate. They often oscillate between both extremes through their life.

» I’ve seen Ardra men stay single for most of their life even into old age. They have many romances ofc, but never marry.

» Ardra women get married but their marriage usually end abruptly.

» I’ve also seen Ardra women be involved in the “other woman” trope.

» The “bastard child” trope is present in this Nakshatra. So their birth can be relevant to that, or they can have children out of taboo circumstances.

Notes on Ārdrā (आर्द्रा)

{Called Thiruvathirai in Tamil, Ardra is the 4th lunar mansion in vedic astrology. I'll be posting some key notes about it which I've jotted down from professional astrologers on YouTube.}

1. Ardra Nakshatra can bestow auspiciousness. Which is why with malefic influence, inauspicious things can wreak havoc as the opposite effect. The blow is fate is so bad that the natives are rendered unappreciated and ungrateful. One further suffers in life because they are unable to detach themselves from the past. Being cruel with words but soft hearted is also a self-contradiction. These harsh words will cost them family and friends for which they should keep a check on their tongue. They either have many teachers who rightfully guide them or, while with malefics present, not even the parents are a worthy guide. Receives their desires in scarce amount which might turn them stingy later on.

"Devotion can turn into their downfall as they melt away into what they adore. That's why the natives should practice strictly rejecting that which does not further their growth in life."

7th lord in Ardra may indicate that spouse is of lowly nature, cheap and sleazy. However, they're still a very courageous individual. The sexual thirst is not quenched in marriage as spouse is not enthusiastic of copulation. They may be dull and regular, an average citizen, who's extremely attached to family, particularly siblings, to the point of prioritizing them over you. Spouse will be bitter and ungrateful but will be your biggest support during times of crisis!   {Shubam Alock}

2. It's observed how Ardra natives have to experience karmic relationships in first half of life, where they're primarily used and abandoned by other people (not necessarily in romantic affairs only).

They somehow enjoy storms and drawn to tornadoes so becoming a storm chaser is an obvious outcome for some of them.

Yatna Shakti indicates how Ardra, with perseverance and diligence, can achieve anything they set their mind to regardless of whether it's good or evil. These natives also have a knack for singing and dancing which they shouldn't hesitate in venturing into as some creative expression. Their affinity towards the arts world is impeccable. {Aditya Togi}

3. Eve Mendoza discloses how Ardra natives are very committal in relationships and marriage when they've found their special person. They take a breakup too seriously, where the emotional pain may become unbearable even. This results in them becoming good trauma councilers.

Controversial as it may seem, there's an element of incest that could be found in Ardra/Gemini.

(i've personally noted how both Targaryen protagonists are played by Ardra natives. I presume Milly's moon is in the same nakshatra too)

4. This nakshatra is associated with a lot of frustration, emotional or environmental. Reason is because Rudra was born out of Brahma's anger, literally emerging out from his forehead. His original form is that of an intense and volatile energy. So Ardra is not just a teardrop, it's represented best as a thunderstorm. On one end of the spectrum it can signify chaos, drug abuse and scandals, and on the other it can mean destroying one enemies and honing valour. {Jay Kaushal}

5. Ardras develop a special liking for animals, where the attachment can be too strong for them to let go. They're also capable of easily helping the needy and those struck by natural disasters. Being too sensitive, they should learn to curb their mood swings.  {Astro Anuradha}

6. Vic DiCara advises with his interpretation that Ardra natives should direct their destructive anger towards those who wronged them, or tormentors/abusers in general. As they can be very intimidating when necessary.

You can relate to, or connect to, another nakshatra you don't have. Each nakshatra cycle has a universal lesson ready for anyone. Once this simple thing is understood, you'll have the capacity to appreciate all nakshatras and learn more. This is why I can no longer think of which nakshatra is my favourite. They're all so pretty and valuable to me in different ways. I can't even lie.

Being Scorpionic (Dark Feminine) in an Abrahamic World: Natal Chart of Marina Abramović

I’ve been learning more about Marina and how she’s accused of being a Satanic and demonic artist, so I expected her having Jyestha or Scorpio and its her lagnesha! and she has Scorpio stellium. 

Jyestha natives, especially women, can be subject to being called demonic or satanic for their self-expression, such as Vampira. 

The first thing I noticed is Marina has two tight conjunctions: 1) Sun Mars Ketu in 8th and 2) Jupiter, VenusR, MercuryR in the 7th. 

Ketu and Mars (lagnesha) in Jyestha conjuct her Sun in 8th

Marina’s entire public career has been colored by 8th house themes: accusations of witchcraft and evildoing, she has darker features and wears black clothing, the extreme nature of her performances, she openly discusses her abortions (which I believe is an 8th house theme), she is inspired by Eastern spirituality, and discusses art as a ritual. 

Libra 7th stellium in Vishaka

Her lover of twelve years Ullay was also an artist and the two collaborated frequently, breaking up in a performance piece where they walked the great wall of China. Vishaka can symbolize the lightning bolt of inspiration, but also duality.

But as the case for many Martian women, Ullay was jealous of Marina’s power and career, which led to the demise of their relationship. With her Chiron in Swati which falls in Libra, much of her wounding and subsequent empowerment comes from relationships in this lifetime. Furthermore, Marina considers herself and her art a mirror to the public, which is fascinating because she works with the body (Aries 1H) which mirrors the 7th. 

Anuradha Sun + Krittika Rising + Cap 10th

Marina has been extremely devoted to her art, forgoing being married and having children to pursue her art. Anuradha is the star of Devotion in Scorpio, conjunct her Mars, and she has a Krittika rising explaining her obsessive drive to make art. 

SaturnR in Cancer in 4th

She is the child of two Serbian war heroes and grew up in a very militant household. In particular, Marina never had a good relationship with her mother and described her as physically abusive. 

(I’m wondering if a mother wound is a precursor to spiritual mastery.) She says her tough upbringing taught her many hard lessons she learned to appreciate and allowed her to become an artist, and it inspires much of her art. 

Her AK is Moon in 10th in Cap

Marina said she could not pay her light bill until she was 50 She has been a working performance artist for over 50 years. In Saturnian fashion, Marina was harshly criticized in her youth then regarded as a genius/ahead of her time much later in life.  However, Dhanista is the nak of fame and she is extremely famous for her art.

Gemini 3rd H connected to 7th and Leo 5th H connected to 8th with lagnesha in Mars sign

She identifies as a performance artisrt, using the body for work is classically martian, especially with the houses of performance linked to both her stelliums. Specifically, Marina is known for pushing her body to extremes and much of her art deals with violence and blood, specficially toward the feminine body. 

Lillith in Mula (9th) 

Mula is the root of transformation, Lillith is the dark feminine This placement carries over from her D60 or past life chart. She has Ketu in this nak in her D60 chart as well. In fact, she was very Scorpio in her last life as well. Perhaps this is why she’s very comfortable in her dark feminine energy.

Pluto in Ashlesha (4th)  With this and Saturn in her 4th, Marina learned hard lessons around femininity and was deeply transformed by her upbringing to transform the feminine consciousness. Ashlesha is a deeply embodied Nak and Marina was a trendsetter in making the art world accept performance art as an art form.

Neptune in Hasta (6th) 

Marina is very perfectionist and dedicated to her art, and the mystical/devotional elements of Hasta may suggest her inspiration comes from divine sources.

For much of her career Marina was in her Saturn Mahadasha, and Saturn rules outsiders and outcasts. Now in her Ketu Mahadasha (she has Ketu conjunct her lagnesha and her Sun) people are starting to understand her and her artistry better. Her Venus dasha begins in her 80s and this will be a very interesting period for her and her career.

In summary, a woman this Martian and Scorpionic would be absolutely ridiculed, judged, and misunderstood under Abrahamic patriarchy.

rahu-ketu (cinderella-prince charming)

So after looking into the spoiled brat archetype, which turned out to be Ketuvian, I found another handful of characters who come from old money being portrayed by Mula natives specifically. Coming from Jyestha, the billionaire/fame nakshatra, and into Mula, it explains the aftermath of the massive accumulation of Jyestha.

Remembering that Shatabhisha is also the Cinderella nakshatra (reference > Claire Nakti's Patreon Shatabhisha-Cinderella article), I immediately thought of the film Khoobsurat which I watched ages ago. And there were Cinderella themes surrounding the main female character played by Sonam Kapoor. She is Shatabhisha Moon.

Her love interest is literal royalty, being born into an extremely wealthy family. Expecting Ketu influence, after this list which I keep extending, I checked Fawad Khan's chart, as he plays the prince. And his Mula Moon placement validated this observation of mine even more.

Their pairing made me remember the Chinese drama Meteor Garden. And there, Mula native Dylan Wang plays a typically domineering Ketuvian who runs his entire school. The character was literally born into wealth. His mother is very neglectful and he has no boundaries or self-control at all, being the literal spoiled brat he is.

In the story, he meets a Rahuvian who is the first person to ever stand up against his tyranny. Much like her love interest, she's played by a double nodal native, Shen Yue.

The dynamic is very abusive, so I couldn't finish the drama, but she technically is 'Cinderella'. She comes from a poorer background, much like Sonam Kapoor's character in Khoobsurat.

Then onto the Thailand remake, F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers. It is Mula Sun native Vachirawit Chivaaree playing the same tyrannical spoiled king baby Ketuvian from Meteor Garden.

He was born into extreme riches, and he was raised with zero boundaries, doing whatever the hell he wants as he runs his school. His mother is neglectful, as expected.

And the person who courageously stands up against him is the character played by Tontawan Tantivejakul, she is also Rahuvian.

She comes from a poor family, unlike him. He falls for her first, and her Rahuvian coolness makes him less & less boundless.

Then, in the Cinderella film, Ever After, Shatabhisha Sun Drew Barrymore stars in this retelling of Cinderella. And, Shatabhisha ASC Brandy Norwood also played Cinderella in 1997.

In Ever After, her Prince is portrayed by a Mula Moon native, much like in Khoobsurat.

Mula Moon Dougray Scott plays Prince Henry, heir to the kingdom.
