I seriously do not think I’ve had a transit this crazy in a minute holy shit??

[spensorium]

One of the superpowers of Bharani nakshatra, is it's capacity to terminate old, outdated habits and to overcome addiction.

The Shakti of the Nakshatra is apabharani Shakti (the power of removal/to take away).

This of course is associated with the psychopompic qualities of its ruler, Lord Yama.. his removal of ones soul/subtle body, from the gross body, and on to the transition of the next phase of existence.

As someone who has a Bharani Ascendant directly conjunct Ketu Bharani, this affect is especially pronounced – my worldview, my most ingrained approach to this incarnation.. and modus operandi, is to dissolve, to scorch what no longer serves, to remagine myself and through sheer will detach from whatever I wish. Not to mention, my personal most defining/self identifying placement, my D60 Guru Chandal, Atmakaraka Jupiter, conjunct Rahu, so closely conjunct.. they are in the same devata, of Shudda, and both in bharani pada 2, 3rd house.

Throughout my life, I have gone through so many extremes.. so much intense, boundary pushing, imbibing of substances, content, propaganda and shifting lifestyles – I experimented with the intense, spectral nature of human penchants.

I have smoked packs of American sprits for years, consumed dangerous amounts of alcohol, smoked stupifying amounts of pot, was cracked out on caffeine.. each for a decade or more – knowing that I could, and eventually would quit, whenever it was my time. Literally full blown sober for years from every substance, now including caffeine.

This type of deep engagement in the heavy, the overindulgence.. the "fuck it we ball", carelessness, that ruins most people, and the subsequent, cold turkey withdrawal – the triumphant conquering of tamas, in which left hand tantriks are known for, is part of my sadhana, and is reflected in my bharani placements.

The Apabharani shakti of Bharani Nakshatra, especially when associated with Ketu, Jupiter or a guru chandal, is spectacular for this type of sadhana involving gunic transcendence via the classic, stereotypical, left hand tantrik modalities.

Lilith represents the unconscious behaviors in others that we may or may not recognize within ourselves. People who experience strong Lilith themes often attract situations that make them feel hated, judged, or misunderstood, but these situations are always meant to teach you something.

To me, Lilith is like an externalization of your shadow, as well as the alchemical process of transmuting them into your power. If we were never triggered by other people, we wouldn't become aware of the parts of ourselves that still need our attention. Most people believe they could never possess the behaviors they condemn in others, but that's rarely the case. We all project whether we realize it or not.

People "praying on your downfall" doesn't really matter. What matters is why it affects you so deeply in the first place. Why do you care if they are? If you're simply existing, not harming anyone and someone is triggered by your rawness, that's ultimately their own problem. At the same time, if someone’s reaction completely destabilizes you, there's probably something within yourself asking to be examined. A lot of people aren't consciously aware of their own triggers, which is why projection is so often unconscious. The only way to become aware of most of your unconscious behaviors is through other people. Relationships expose the parts of ourselves we can't see on our own.

Lilith isn't just about where people have beef with you or where you're ostracized. It's about the wounds that become activated through other people's behavior so you can trace them back to the root and heal them instead of letting them continue to control you. I’m just saying the beef can always be constructive if you're willing to learn from it.

In conflict, Lilith asks you to point the finger back at yourself and ask, "What does my reaction to this person/situation/behavior say about ME?" Contrary to popular belief, people aren't aware of a lot of their own behaviors and bullshit. Things outside of yourself shouldn't have that much power over your sovereignty and if they do, that's something to work through, not something to endlessly project onto the other person.

I used to have these insanely inflated reactions to certain behaviors I had been conditioned to believe were "wrong" or "bad.” What I eventually realized was that I had created self-limiting beliefs around the expression of those qualities. Once I started being more curious and open minded, the easier it became for me to be aware of my reactions.

The minute you stop looking outside yourself for evidence to confirm your already biased beliefs about how other people see or treat you, you'll begin to feel more accepted—not because other people changed, but because you stopped letting your fears determine how you show up. When you stop projecting your own shadow onto others, that's when you're able to fully be yourself.

What’s your current Mahadasha and how has it been thus far for you?

Mercury (1st and 4th lord in the 11H). Pretty good honestly. Glad to be going through it now rather than later. I will say my Rahu AD sucked, but it switched to Jupiter at the end of May and things immediately improved.

[starmosaics]

I feel very much like a spectacle right now and it's making me uncomfortable..

[starmosaics]

Hey Star 💫 What would you say is the Astrology with not being taken seriously? Like for instance I often get told I am too young to know things or look young or I give a naive vibe and I can be do not take me wrong but I am not stupid, I play stupid. Is it Gemini? I also have Pisces influence. I just get infantilized a lot and I am so f⭐️cking fed up LOL. Mercury influence is the worst, I always have to play their game and I do not want to but I yearn for something concrete and serious 😒

I can tell that you're super animated and bubbly like me just from when you submit questions haha don't change ❤️

I have a Gemini Ascendant and a Pisces Moon and sometimes I think people think i'm super naive, but I think it’s okay to be selective as to who gets to see the deeper, more authentic parts of yourself. To me, If you have Pisces AND Gemini in your chart you gotta join the bit occasionally in order to stay sane. It’s called RANGE.

People’s reactions and perceptions of you say more about them than it does about you tho so try not to take it personally or internalize what’s being said to/about you when you’re not harming anyone. Neptune dominant folks tend to run into this problem as well.

[starmosaics]

Also, would you say the 1st house overlay can be like a little mirror to someone’s soul? I have my Sun, Moon and Venus on someone’s first, not conjunct to be more crystal clear but near the ASC. I think I can pick up on their emotions Idk. I may just be sensitive though. My venus is the only conjunction to the ASC, both being in water. 💧🌀

Yea! Same with 7th.

I have been socializing a lot this whole month, especially during this Mercury retrograde in Cancer and the conversations that keep coming up surround about the same 4 things: How no one can sustain themselves, that people aren't actually living their lives, that no one feels genuinely connected to others anymore, and that everyone feels rather lost right now.

A lot of people are in pain, but don't want to admit it or name the thing that's causing them pain. A lot of people aren't being honest with themselves as to just how bad things are socially—maybe they are, but they don't wish to share their thoughts on the absurdity of what's been going on and it probably won't be for another 6-8 years until there's no point of return to where people have to talk about the absurd in order to feel sane. Sucks that some people only want change when the grim reaper is directly knocking on their doors.

It's more scary to see someone pretending to be happy when they're not, draping a veil of humor over their pain or drowning out everything using whatever vice the've convinced themselves that helps them cope, rather than seeing someone come to you unintelligibly with snot and tears running down their faces, needing a hug, someone to listen to them or a home cooked meal—I don't know, but it troubles me to see and I've been seeing people lose themselves more and more since 2020. Everyone seems to be worried about how their pain will be perceived by others and how it'll be used against them rather than being a human and allowing themselves the right to expressing their emotions, no matter how messy. It really pains me to see because I can see how much life has derailed us.

Life is truly cyclical and nothing has changed really. From now to 2032, expect a lot of more absurdity in human behavior. Anyways, that's what's on my mind. My heart is heavy today.

Hii! I’m new to sidereal and I have a question if you don’t mind 🤓 So, um, when I read about nakshatras observation, do they applied to my moon only (i.e. I just need to read ones about my moon nakshatra) or I can apply it to every nakshatras I have (i.e. I can read and apply for my ascendant, sun, mars, etc)? Since sidereal is mainly focusing on moon and its nakshatra right? (Cmiiw!) I hope this question makes sense... thank you so much! ^_^

Hai welcome. To me, the Moon’s nakshatra is the most important, but that doesn’t mean the other nakshatras in your chart should be overlooked.

Cow Yoni: The Unwanted Child

Whenever I meet/interact with a series of individuals who all share the same Moon sign and similar-ish life experiences, I feel 😳✍🏻🤔🧐. I'm sure many of you can relate to gaining (second-hand) insights of this sort through the lived experiences of people you cross paths with.

And it is in this fashion that I started noticing how many Cow Yoni natives (the nakshatras of Uttara Bhadrapada & Uttara Phalguni) often experience abandonment, neglect and "unwantedness" early in life. Now, there are a variety of nakshatras that could experience these themes. Abandonment and neglect are human experiences and not exclusive to just one or two nakshatras. HOWEVER, I wanted to extrapolate on why these two naks/Cow Yoni natives, specifically, go through this journey of being abandoned and then "choosing" themselves.

But before we start with that, I want to distinguish between Uttara Phalguni (UP) and Uttara Bhadrapada (UBP).

UP is a Sun ruled nak. It is of the Kshatriya caste. The deity of this nak is Aryaman, who rules over contracts, friendships and matrimony. The symbol is a bed and it represents marital union. (Distinct from Purvaphalguni that represents the wild, passionate romantic union, UP is focused on the commitment and duty of marriage). It ranges between Leo and Virgo rashis.

UBP is a Saturn ruled nak. It is also of the Kshatriya caste. The deity is Ahir Budhnya, a water dragon that resides at the depths of the ocean. He is the God of fertility, kundalini and requires seclusion. It falls entirely within Pisces rashi.

Now what do cows represent in Hindu mythology?

Cows represent abundance, fertility and non-violence. They are the supreme providers, who are selflessly giving---- or, are they?

It's not really innate to a cow's nature to give, but rather that, their bodies and their ABILITY to nourish are exploited and taken for granted. Cows don't stand around going "omg milk meeee😩😩". They were domesticated and forced into prolonged pregnancies in order to produce milk that can satiate humans. So cows are, even in India, where they're worshipped, widely exploited for human benefit, like most creatures are. Also keep in mind that cows are female.

Now, I want to start with perhaps the world's most famous orphan. Harry Potter.

The titular character was played by Daniel Radcliffe, who has Uttara Bhadrapada Moon. The Harry Potter series was written by J.K Rowling, who has Uttara Phalguni Moon

One thing about Cow Yoni natives and their experience of abandonment that sets them apart from others who experience similar things is the fact that Cow Yoni natives, almost always, come up in society, are well-regarded and despite early traumatic experiences, they achieve traditional/conventional success and are by and large, "accepted" by society as adults.

Lacking nourishment and being isolated/separated from loved ones or lacking loving parent figures is a key defining theme in the lives of these natives. Especially if their chart also contains Mleccha/Outcaste nakshatras.

Harry Potter may have grown up as an unwanted orphan but he's also The Chosen One and literally the most famous wizard to have ever lived etc.

JK Rowling also lost her mum young and had traumatic early life experiences, living in near poverty and being a single mom.

Prince Harry, Uttara Phalguni Sun

He was only 12 years old when he lost his mom. And her death affected him differently than it did Prince William. Harry did not enjoy the same status or "belonging" within his own (royal) family. William was always going to be the next King. He even stepped down/away from the Royal Family; something that is virtually unheard of. He was always the black sheep of the family and kind of the perpetual third wheel.

Steve Jobs, Uttara Bhadrapada Moon & Uttara Phalguni Rising

Jobs was given up for adoption at birth by his parents. And this abandonment shaped him for life.

Tyler Perry, Uttara Phalguni Sun conjunct Ketu

He was severely abused as a child and left home when he was quite young.

Judy Garland, Saturn in Uttara Phalguni in 4h, Ketu in UBP in 10h

Well, we all know how abusive Judy's childhood was. She was literally drugged in order to keep up her tough filming schedule, so, idk if I need to elaborate on the neglect bit.

Sometimes, being orphaned isn't about literally growing up without parents but rather that the adult/parental figures in your life don't adequately protect or shield you from anything so you're kind of left to fend for yourself.

Charles Dickens, Uttara Phalguni Rising with Mars in UBP in 7h

He was not an orphan, however he endured a difficult and traumatizing childhood after his father went to debtor's prison when he was 12. He had to leave school and start working at a factory. This inspired his works like David Copperfield and Oliver Twist, who are both orphans.

Dev Patel, UBP Moon, has played an orphan in a string of films, including, Slumdog Millionaire, Lion and The Personal History of David Copperfield.

Freddie Bartholomew, Uttara Bhadrapada Sun, played David Copperfield in the 1935 film.

It is also worth noting that the 1999 British adaptation of David Copperfield was the acting debut of Daniel Radcliffe, UBP Moon

He also played an orphan in the 2007 film, December Boys

Asa Butterfield, Mars in Uttara Phalguni atmakaraka, with Saturn conjunct Ketu in UBP

He's played an orphan in films like Hugo, Enders Game and an emotionally neglected/isolated child in The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

Roddy McDowall, Uttara Phalguni Sun

Frequently cast as orphaned or parentless boys in the 1940s, including My Friend Flicka, Thunderhead, Son of Flicka, and Macbeth.

Haley Joel Osment has Ketu in Uttara Phalguni

Now, orphanhood/unwantedness can manifest in many ways other than abandonment/neglect. Institutionalized, or parentless children, or children who aren't sufficiently cared for, still experience unwantedness in some ways.

Haley Joel Osment has played an "unwanted" child in several films. The Sixth Sense, in which he is emotionally neglected, with an absent father. Pay It Forward features an abusive alcoholic mother and an absent father.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence, where he is literally abandoned by the family that adopted him. Secondhand Lions, where he is dumped by his irresponsible mother with two elderly uncles.

Jackie Coogan, Uttara Phalguni Rising

Jackie Coogan became famous for playing abandoned children in movies like The Kid, Oliver Twist and Daddy.

Miyazaki, who has Moon conjunct Ketu in Uttara Bhadrapada, often casts orphan children as his protagonists.

Now, circling back to the bit where I mentioned how both these naks belong to the Kshatriya caste. This is the warrior caste. They are 2nd highest in the caste hierarchy. However, unlike the Brahmin caste, who are scholarly/priestly, Kshatriyas are soldiers. This means that despite being accepted by general society and not facing social alienation, they still have to go to battle and endanger their lives to stay where they are. This represents the peculiar duality, where they have to endure extreme hardships, trauma and "soldier" through life, but to the outside world, they are highly successful, well liked, well to do individuals.

I hope this post was informative, interesting and maybe helpful!

How do you find these scorpios???? I feel like they are homebodies, esp Anuradhas. I wish I had taurus placements.

AHAHA, probably because I have been going through crazy changes. Scorpios appear when you need to transform and since I’ve been BEGGING to get out of a period of stagnancy, they all just kinda appeared.

[starmosaics]

What would Saturn DK usually attract? I heard older people tend to find them. I am crushing on the Saturn DK bad but usually they like older and wiser and I am a Mercury AK so I look younger for my age 💔 Star what is your DK?

I have a Saturn DK in my 1st! It doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be with someone older, just someone with more experience, maturity, wisdom, or ability to get shit done. Your person could have Saturnian traits like sharp bone structure, taller height, a lean body, eye bags, depression (lol), etc. Or they could simply have Saturn ruled placements in their charts or a prominent Saturn placement—I will say the DK is pretty accurate in terms of who you’ll end up with.
