The 27 Nakshatras are ruled by the 9 planets (Vedic astrology recognizes the Nodes Raahu and Kaytu astwo karmic control planets) as shown in the table below:

Planet Stars ruledSun Asini, Makha, MoolaMoon Rohini, Hasta, SravanaMars Mrigasira, Chitta, DhanishtaMercury Aslesha , Jyeshta, RevatiJupiter Punarvasu, Vishakha, PoorvabhadrapadaVenus Bharani, Pubba, poorvashadaSaturn Pushya , Anuradha and Uttara bhadrpada.Raahu Ardra, Svati and SatabhishakKaytu Aswini Makha and Moola

The nakshatra pada hold the clue to very many secrets of human life. In ancient times the horoscopes usedto record every planet in its nakshatra pada. For some period the significance of this was lost. In the 20thcentury the great astrologer Krishnamurthy found the significance and importance of these by divine graceand introduced a new procedure based on star part which is known as Krishnamurthy Paddhati or KP systemof astrology.


4/36

He divided each star into 9 parts and apportioned the time for these parts in proportionate basis ofVimsottari dasa period of each planet. He called these as subs .There are 249 subs in the zodiac.Thus each birth has to take place in a particular quarter of a star and in a particular sub also.

Sri Krishnamurthy proved conclusively that planets in a sign and a given star primarily give the effect of theBhava house in which the owner of the star is placed and the good or bad depends on the sub lord in whichit is placed

India has always produced astounding astrological talents. One of the Students named Dinakaran an ardentfollower of KP system has done further research and written a Book called Cuspal interlinks which goes toshows the linkage of each cusp of a horoscope with other cusps and explains the occurrences of incidentsrelated to different bhava houses at one and the same time. For e.g one person gets married and he has apromotion at the same time and he is also transferred to a different location. This happens when anauspicious Cuspal sub lord of 7th house is related to that of 11th and also the 12th bhavas.

Nakshatra or Stars in AstrologyThese celestial luminaries make all the difference in astrological calculations. Initially, thezodiac was grouped in 12 Rashis for convenience, however the ancient seers have farthersubdivided the heavens into 27 Nakshatras or star constellations for the call of precession. Theseconstellations or the Nakshatras emerged as one of the most important components in Astrology.Vedic astrology identifies each constellation with a star. The 360 degree division of the sky istherefore further divided into 27 subdivision of 13.20 degrees identified with 27 stars. Each ofthese Nakshatras are farther subdivided into four Padas or quarters of 3 degrees and 20 minutes.Therefore the first Rashi, Mesha, which has 30 degrees, contains the entire 4 Padas (13:20') of

the 1st star constellation Ashwini, the entire 4 Padas (13:20') of the 2nd star constellationBharani and the 1st Pada (3:20') of the third star constellation Krittika. In this manner, eachRashi comprises of 9 Padas. Some schools of astrology also consider 28 divisions with anadditional star called Abhijit. However, for all practical purposes only 27 stars starting fromAshwini are considered.These Nakshatras are broadly classified under the three heads of Deva (divine), Nara (human)and Rakshasa (Demonic). Farther, they are subdivided by their gender and Varna (cast), and arealso ascribed with qualities such as colour, presiding deity, merits and ruler ship of body parts,

planets etc.

While the effects of a particular planet placed in a Rashi is studied, the position of theplanet in respect to the Nakshatra and its particular Pada isalso born in mind. Indians through ages have been taking into account these

Nakshatras for determining the auspicious dates and Muhurtha (moment) for any cultural orreligious event including marriage. The role of Nakshatras and their respective Padas in

predictive astrology is unique to Indian astrology.Ashwini

JyeshthaColour: Cream

Lucky letters: N & Y

The eighteenth Nakshatra in the zodiac Jyeshtha is all of strength. Jatakas of this Nakshatra are blessed with enormous strength and vitality. However, this is not to be read in the non-physicalsense of the statement. More often than not, they display a lot of inner softness and often shun

problems as they fail to address them with the strength required. They are very good at heart andare very sensitive too. However their inability to retain secrets often earns them bad repute of

being gossipmongers. As a matter of fact they don't keep any ill will towards others. Howevertheir obstinacy in action often limits their success. They are hasty decision makers and often endup in trouble due this. Many times it's observed that Jyeshtha Jatakas end up taking instantdecision at all circumstances. They had to cross lot of stumbling blocks in their achievementsand mostly benefit from enemies than from relatives.

AbhijitColour: Brownish yellow

Lucky letters: J & KThe Abhijit Jatakas are marked by their well-proportioned body, magnanimous personality and

penetrating looks. With deep sense of religion, courteous nature and innate optimism, they are

well honoured by the learned and respected. It is often noticed that the Jatakas born under this Nakshatra are the most famous ones in their respective families.Usually it is noted that the Abhijit Jatakas face severe financial crunch till the age of 27. Thingshowever rapidly change for the better after that. Often more that one matrimonial alliance isnoted. Family is never the symbol of happiness for them. Interestingly, the story of the femalenatives is just the opposite in this regard.Health in general is one of the causes of concern for the natives of this Nakshatra. They are

prone to whooping cough, rheumatism, arthritics or skin diseases. A threat to life is noted between 17 to 20 years of age for both the sexes of the natives. Once past this age, there shallhowever be no major threat any longer.

However it is worthwhile to note that in orthodox Vedic Astrology, Abhijit is not consideredwhile calculating. The reason for the same is that the Moons transit of the sidereal (fixed) zodiactakes approximately 27 days and 7' hours. This is why we have 27 Nakshatras dividing thezodiac of 3600 into 27 parts, (each 130 20' of arc) Each Nakshatra was identified with a star, (orstar cluster) and named there from. The 7' hour shortfall in a sidereal lunar transit was made up

by a short-span intercalary (hypothetical) Nakshatra. This Nakshatra is called Abhijit.The span of Abhijit is determined proportionally as (7h 38min / 24 hrs) x 130 20' = 40 14' 13",which is from 2760 40' to 2800 54" 13"overlapping the 21st Nakshatra (Uttarashadha). This iswhy; the traditional Vedic astrologers did not impart much significance to Abhijit while makingcalculations.

Although it is significant to know of the lunar placement in Nakshatra, others planetschange under the influence of Nakshatras. It is important for those trying to look intodeeper meaning of life to look into the nakshatra placements of key planets and you willhave a much better understanding of the inner motivations of planets in your chart. Whenstudying the dashas, one shou ld l ook at the rul er of the dasha as well as the placementof the rul er of the Nakshatr a of the Dasha rul er. That makes all the dif ference infi nding how the Dasha wil l effect us.

In India, most Vedic astrologers will put the number of the Nakshatra by the planet on thechart. That way they can see immediately what degree of the Zodiac the planet is placed.

According to the ancient Vedic Philosophy, our consciousness is effected by threedifferent qualities or gunas. The cosmic energies that radiate around us give us the predominance of one of these gunas. These are very important in Yoga and in astrology itis important to understand the impulses (gunas) of the planets and their Nakshatras whichgive them their unique behaviour patterns. These gunas are

1. Sattva - the illuminating, pure or good quality. Truth, purity of purpose and selfrighteousness and the path towards eternal consciousness is important to Sattvic people.


16/36

They are fearless, generous and self- controlled. They are tranquil, charitable andgenerally have an open mind. Sattvics find it hard to hurt others. Water is pure Sattva.Vegetarians are sattvic by nature- choosing to eat what is provided by nature rather thankilling to fulfil their appetites.

2. Rajas - the quality of mobility or activity. They have great inner thirst. They are passionate and ambitious. They want to achieve. They are restless and insecure. Theywant everything. They are active, want recognition and respect but are never satisfied.They find themselves clinging to pleasant tasks but avoiding the difficult situations. Theycan be fickle, easily distracted and unsteady.

3. Tamas - the dark restraining quality. They are generally sensuous, in love with all thegood things in life which restrain them from higher learning and knowledge. They arematerialistic in nature. Maya -the illusionary world of self gratification and sensual livingties them to their desires. Tamasic people have to try very hard to get out of the ignorancethat surrounds them. They are held down by their own needs. Yoga and meditation is

required to strengthen their inner being if they want to move towards higherconsciousness.

The Nakshatras radiate these qualities on primary, secondary and tertiary levels. It helpsto find out on what sub-conscious level we react to this world.

Each of the Nakshatra has its own motivation. Vedic philosophers considered 4 basicmotivations which guide us. They are:

1. Artha - meaningful action. Artha relates to wealth , financial matters and the practicalities of life.

2.Dharma - righteous action. Dharma is the purpose of our life. The duty towardsourselves and others to do the right thing.

3. Kama - passionate behaviour. Kama is about passion for people, causes and living.

4. Moksha - the need for spiritual salvation. Moksha means Nirvana. The need to find thehighest truths and move towards self realisation.

Each Nakshatra radiates its own quality, has its own motivation and the planets placed inthem have a triplicy of influences- by the rulers of the Zodiac sign, nakshatra and finally

the pada or quarter. These alter, enhance and fine tune the cosmic energies that effect us.The 27 Nakshatras are:

1.Ashwini - ruled by Ketu - the South Node. 000 to 1320 (000 to 1320 Aries). Thefour quarters are ruled by Mars, Venus, Mercury and Moon. The motivation is Dharma.Male. Horse. Symbol- A head of horse. Deity- Ashwini Kumars. Dosha- Vata

The chart of Christopher Reeve illustrates the Nakshatras very well. The Birth Dataavailable on him places his birth at 3:12 Am EDT September 25 1952 at NewYork. Ihave rectified the birth time using the Nakshatras. His birth was in Ashlesha Nakshatra inthe 3rd Pada (quarter). I have moved it forward to 3:17 am into the 4th quarter ofAshelsha. The ascendent stays in each quarter for 15 minutes. According to all the

ancient texts, if you are born at Gandanta-the junction points of the Nakshatras (The 4thquarter of Ashlesha and the 1st quarter of Magha. The last quarter of Jyeshta and the 1stQuarter of Mula and the last quarter of Revati and the 1st quarter of Ashwini.), you facemajor traumas and tragedies in life. In Christopher Reeves case we all know about hisriding accident which changed his life from the actor playing Superman to a helpless

paraplegic.

Lagna-Ascendent

The Lagna- ascendent is conjunct Ketu the South Node in the same quarter/nakshatra.Ketu always deals with the past and is a planet of Karmic retribution. It is very obvious

that Christopher Reeve had to pay debts of past actions. He was given everythingmaterially- goods looks, health, success, fame and wealth. Then it was cruelly takenaway. The presence of Ketu in the ascendent shows destiny will play an important part inlife. It also foretells physical or emotional trauma in life due to your own actions. Also,Ketu is the significator for spinal problems and paralysis. Pluto at 29Cancer54 is in thesame pada conjuct the ascendent and Ketu. Although outer planets are not generallylooked at in Vedic Astrology, the influence of Pluto cannot be discounted.


21/36

The Ascendent Nakshatra Ashlesha has Naga- the snake as its presiding diety, it is ruled by Mercury and is in the area of Cancer ruled by Moon. The Serpent is worshipped inancient Indian Mythology. They are considered the embodiment of wisdom gainedthrough spiritual attainment. Ashlesha people are loners, philosophical and spiritual. The

position of Ketu in Ashlesha further leads to the spiritual aspect of Christopher Reeve.

This deep spirituality will come to his rescue now when he has had to go through theimme nse psychological transformation. Like the shedding of the serpents skin, a person born under Aslesha sheds his old life so that new experiences can be taken on board. Thisexperience is never easy. The process of tranformation brings with it immense pain. Themental pain Christopher Reeve must be experiencing is beyond most of our thinking.

Both Mercury and Ketu have separative influences and deal with sudden changes. Ketualways takes and Ketus placement in Mercurys Nakshatra influences Mercury as well .Mercury is exalted but weak as it is combust by Sun. Mercury also has to deal withSaturns influence in the same house. Being the 3rd house - Mercury takes on the powerto do immense damage by your own actions.

Moon as the ascendent.

A debilatated Moon is the ruler of Ascendent as well as being an ascendent in its ownright. Moon is in the Nakshatra of Jyeshta. Jyeshta is a Nakshatra which is at a junction

point but the Moon is not in the last quarter- which would have been much worse. Moonis aspected by both Saturn and Mars. Jyeshta is again ruled by Mercury. It is located inthe area of Scorpio which is ruled by Mars (Vedic Astrology uses traditional rulerships).

Note Mars is also in Mercury ruled Jyeshtha. Jyeshta gives status and material wealth butit also leads you towards transformation. You understand that material fulfillment is notenough, there is an emptiness within. There needs to be a connection with the inner self.

Christopher Reeve to look towards his inner strengths and the Mars rulership of Scorpiois giving him courage in the face of such adversity. The tragedy that touched his life hasmade him aware of the difference within the inner and outer self. He will need to tap intothe inner wisdom and use his disabilities positively- which he is already doing. BothJyeshta and Ashlesha make individuals who are very strong and wise within.

Mercury deals with pure intellect and detachment and the Jupiterian rulership of thequarter where the Moon is situated is not a help. Jupiter is enemy to Mercury. It is alsoretrograde and in a malefic Nakshatra Krittika. Also, its placement at the end of Ariesmakes it a planet in Mrita Avastha (death like state). Jupiter, inspite of being the greatest

benefic planet, has power to do great damage for Christopher Reeve.

Sun as the ascendent

The Sun is in Uttara Phalguni which is ruled by the Sun in the 4th quarter ruled byJupiter. Sun in its own Nakshtra in the 3rd house of personal action and communications.It should have given wonderful results but that was not the case. Sun in Virgo which isruled by Mercury. Again this Mercurian influence. Because Ketu is in the Nakshatra of


22/36

Mercury it will exercise an influence on the Sun. The Sun is further weakened bySaturns aspect.

Uttaraphalguni is the Nakshatra where we understand the hidden power of the cosmiclaw. The need to direct our actions away from selfish goals. Understand the vastness of

the task ahead. The Sun,the healer in service oriented Virgo in Uttara Phalguni is nowdirecting him towards the universal issues. The Sun will heal him from within so that hecan be a spokeperson for other disabled people. He has the inner strength to cope. It willnever be easy but Christopher Reeve has immense inner resources and will use them forthe greater good.

The first two Maha Dashas of Christopher Reeves life were Mercury and Ketu , both planets in his ascendent and ruled by Mercury Nakshatras. I do not know a lot about hischildhood and youth but looking at the dashas I can assume that there were problems forChristopher Reeve coming to terms with himself. There has to be some unhappiness inchildhood with regards to his mother and father. The start of the Venus Mahadasha

brought about a wonderful 20 years of his life. Venus is powerfully situated in his chart.It is not influenced by Mercury and Jupiter in the Nakshatras. Super success awaited him

during this period. Superman brought him recognision internationally, but internally hewas dissatisfied. This is because of the aspect from a malefic Jupiter and hemming in ofVenus by Mars and Saturn. It shows that Christpher Reeve was never at peace withhimself.

Sun Dasha

Accident May 27 1995. 12 Noon Culpeper VA 38N28 077W59 49

Maha Dasha Sun, Antara Jupiter began 4-29-1995

It happened within the month of the start of Jupiter antara in the Sun Dasha. Sun is in asign ruled by Mercury. Jupiter in the Nakshatra of Krittika ruled by Sun and the diety isAgni(fire).The symbol of Krittika is a razor. It can be a destructive influence. Jupiters

positioning in the last 6 degrees of Aries is in Mrita Avastha( Death like state) whichfurther adds to the malefic capabilities of Jupiter. Jupiter and Mercury are inimical toeach other. This brought to the fore the complete negativity of the chart. The combinedmalefic influences of Mercury and Jupiter brought about the accident. Jupiter isconsidered a good planet for Cancer Ascendent and it was in the house owned by his


24/36

friend Mars. Studying the Nakshatra position of Jupiter it is immediately obvious thatJupiter cannot do good in Christopher Reeves Chart.

The Start of Mercury Antardasha on 27th January 1997 followed by Ketu Antardasha on12th March 1997 makes 1997 a difficult year for Christopher Reeve. There can be a set

back in his progress.

On January 9 1997, the transitting Rahu, the north node and Mars were conjuct to theexact degree in Virgo/Uttarphalguni(Jupiter Pada) in opposition to a conjuct Ketu andSaturn in Pisces/Uttara Bhadra(Mercury pada). Again the Jupiter/ Mercury combinationThis intense cosmic activity was directly effecting his natal Sun Lagna. That was be astart of an uneasy period for Christopher Reeve.

1997 will be emotionally difficult but if he can direct his activity and mind, he will movetowards inner peace and be an example to others through wise handling of this immensetrial he has had to face. If he can overcome these further cosmic impediments, he may at

last be at peace with himself.

In Christopher Reeves chart the Nakshatras represent the spiritual forces that rule his life.The Mercury/Jupiter connection is very strong- in his natal chart, dashas and in thetransits. The Sun, Moon and the ascendent are directly connected to it through rulershipof Sign/ Nakshatra/Pada. Mercury rules intellect but it also rules the nerves andseverence. The accident caused the severence. The paralysis is of the nerves. and now hisintellect will have to deal with it. Mercury has caused a lot of Christopher Reeves

problems but it duality now helps with its intellectualism and detachment. Its power tochange direction. It will allow Christopher Reeve to deal with his personal tragedy andmove on.

Note:All planetary positions in this article refers to the sidereal Zodiac, which is currently23 degrees 48 minutes 56 sec. behind the Tropical Zodiac. Nakshatras are fixed stars orlunar mansions. The nodes of the Moon- rahu Ketu are considered planets in Vedicastrology.

But Jyeshta born people are also considered to have Karmic life. They need to focus ontheir Kundalini

Ashwini is the nature of Shiva -the active energy.

In vedic texts, Ashwins are twin sons of the Sun God. The Sun is meant to represent the parent- the root the absolute. the divine link of the sun to the first asterism means thatthere is an important evolutionary process taking place which the help of the sun whichgives energy to the whole process. People born in ashwini are great healers and they havethe innate capability of rejuvinating the old and giving life to the dead. It is creative

power in its latency. Many ignore their creativity because they do not know the strengththey possess. the Rulership of Mars exerts the influence of exernalising this power.


25/36

Sun is in exaltation in Ashwini. The spiritual planet Ketus rulership means that the Suncan stay steadfast inspite of all the arian influence around him. Mars the ruler of Ariescan take the sun towards an overtly sexual path but the nakshatra of ashwini guides thesolar energy towards a more spiritual path and leads it towards Moksha which is thecorrect purpose of all incarnating souls.

Ashwini born can harness the power of the nakshatra and be successful on both thematerial and spiritual levels.

Ashwa the symbol of ashwini is connected with the number seven. Seven is a veryauspicious number in Hindu philosphy- there are seven chakras- the creative energywhich moves from the absolute within us, seven flames of eternal fire- the seven states ofwisdom. The horse is also a symbol of energy and vigour. There are many differentcreative energies which need to be harness to achieve success. There is unlimited creative

powers in latency in Ashwini.

The rulership of the first four padas are under Mars, Venus Mercury and Moon- all fastmoving planets which are in a hurry to achieve their aims. They are also planets whichare more concerned with the material instincts within us. With Ketu influencing theoverall energy with its spiritual impact. People can go towards a very spiritual path butthey will always lack patience in how to achieve it. Ashwinis as a group represent fierceenrgy, determination, dynamism, the need to externalise all capabilities. On the negativeside they can be overly ambitious, passionate, impulsive and unthinking.

The rajasic guna and the Dharmic values that they project means that their lives are basedon activity and they have a great need to change the world sometimes in a self righteousway not recognising the others point of view.

The symbol for Bharani is Yoni female reproductive organ- this establishes Bharani asa channel for creation whether it is by a sexuaal act or incubation of other creativeenergies..

Its basic principle is Shakti- the passive female power. Female energy has important place in vedic philosophy. It is this energy that incubates the soul and transports it fromone realm of existence to another. Put in another way it takes you from a spiritualmanisfestation to a more objective one. The sexual energy which is very much so therealm of Bharani is very obvious in people. it is almost the realisation of procreativity istoo much for most people to resist.

The ruling god is Yama. Yama can be interpretted in two forms. One as the god of death.Death doesnt mean physical death only. It c an mean ending of one chapter of your lifeand then creating the new life force into new creative energy. As the god of Death Yamais also responsible for the seed of new life. He allows us to detach ourselves from

previous lives so that we can look towards the future. The other meaning of Yama isYogic in Yoga Yama( restraint) and Niyama (practice or observation)- these diciplinesare used to channel the energies of the organs of action and the sense of perception in the


26/36

right direction. Which ever indication you take you will realise that there is the belief inharnessing the inner nature of man towards its highest energy.

It is motivated by Artha- which is activity on a material plain. Poeple born in Bharani arevery materialistic unless they voluntary decide to harness their inner self with yoga. The

rulership of Venus within the energy of Mars makes the action very much on a material plain. The pada are ruled by Leo, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Each one helps to intensifythe material process.

Bharani people believe in excess- whether they are indulging in sex or doing Yoga- theydo not know when to stop. They are idealist. They want others to live upto their highexpectations. There is a darker side to their nature which is symbolised by the god Yamawho rules darkness. So always within the open idealism is some ununderstood depthwhich attracts the male energy to this passive but extremely electrifying force of Bharani.

The first quarter lies within Aries ruled by Mars and the other three quarters lie in Taurus

ruled by Venus. Krittika is ruled by Sun. Its symbol is a razor.It presiding god is Agni-Fire. It is rajasic on both the promary and secondary level and Sattva is its inner attribute.Its prime motivation is Kama- passion.

Krittika consists of 6 visible stars and one invisible star. This is the consellation Pleiades.they are considered wives of the 7 great rishis who astronomically are the seven stars ofUrsa Major. The relationship between these two is very profound. The seventh invisiblestar is said to be married to Dhruva- the pole star or the rishi who governs it. Therelationship of Krittika and the pole star emphasises its role in the importance of centralas well as invisible principle from which the laws of life derive.

Krittika is passive. It has both constructive and destructive principle. But it itself will nottake action. Lijke a mother it will incubate the seed which is the planet located in thisasterism. Like the razor which is the symbol of Krittika it can be used to kill by themurderer or used by a surgeon to heal. Like the mother it is Krittika has no choiceregarding the seed it carries. Rahu, the north node in Krittika can lead to a person tospiriual attachement. The sun here can also lead to dissatisfaction to the material way oflife. Depending on the planet within it it alters its influence. It is the instrument thatcauses but the act has to be done by the planet.

The passivity of darkness is the mysterious source from which all forms of creation havearisen.

Uttara Bhadra becomes very powerful when associated with any planet. Though it is passive and non- active, it is also highly dynamic whenever an active force impingesupon it and the latent energy within it is vigourously activated

It enables an individual to comprehend wisdom concealed in different forms ofmanifestation. Whatever happens to the individual, there is growth and expansion of
