↻ VARNA, GUNA, PURUSHARTH, NATURE, GANA & YONI IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

basics of vedic astrology. ask box. masterlist.

important: this master post will consist of three major posts wherein i will be elaborating each of these six mentioned factors. understanding them is key to understanding the deeper nature of the nakshatras, and how compatibility works in vedic astrology. it is not possible to work on all of them in a single post. also, order is irrelevant here. although i usually let it slide, i would recommend reading even the theory and background part in these three posts because they are relevant to further understanding. without it, things may not make sense. i have touched on sensitive topics like varna with care so as to not hurt religious sentiments. but i would appreciate being called out if i have said anything that may spread hatred. it is never my intent to create discord. i would request others to be polite and respectful as well. these are all topics deeply entwined with ancient hindu culture. any disrespect, misinformation and hateful behaviour will have you kicked out of this space. long post ahead, i wish the readers best of luck.

◍ VARNA + GANA

i would like to start off by mentioning that varna and guna are used majorly for checking compatibility between two people or for suggesting appropriate career paths.

varna is for relating the native's attitude towards the world and their work / responsibilities. gana is for analysing the native's nature. so don't use these things in an all encompassing way, and it is better if these tools are used only on the things they are intended for.

VARNA

INTRODUCTION: varna, literally translates to 'caste'. it is noteworthy to mention that vedic astrology, one of the vedangas, was written by sages in antiquity. the caste system that came to ostracize the poor in the name of religion in the indian subcontinent by the 1900s is nothing like what the sages intended for varna to mean, due to which it has come to gain an inherently bad reputation. firstly, the caste system started out with a basic concept—how people brought money into their home. it had nothing to do with one's birth. this is not to be confused with gotra, which refers to bloodline. our bloodline remains the same, but based on what people did to gain money we classify society into 5 major categories, which will be elaborated below. secondly, the varna allotted to each nakshatra is based off the nakshatra's nature. i won't be delving too deep into this, but careful consideration leads one to realize that certain traits indicate saintly personas and others indicate an outlaw. of course, the interpretations aren't so extreme, and i will expand on them further.

brahmin—the caste that studied vedas, tended to the statues of hindu gods, assisted day-to-day prayers, rituals, festivals and rites. they were gurus, translating roughly to 'teacher'. nakshatras—krittika, purva phalguni, purva ashada, purva bhadrapada

kshatriyas—the caste that ruled lands, that is, kings and queens. nakshatras—pushya, uttara phalguni, uttara ashada, uttara bhadrapada

vaishyas—the caste that did trade and business. they brought money by selling their services. they are majorly divided into two parts; farmers and traders. artisans, dancers, musicians etc. were considered to be traders. nakshatras— merchants—ashwini, punarvasu, hasta farmers—mrigashira, chitra, jyeshtha, dhanishtha

shudras—the sweeper caste. these were the people who carried out menial tasks such as maids, sweepers, butchers, servants, constructions workers etc. again, they can be classified into two major parts; butchers and the servants. nakshatras— workers—rohini, magha, anuradha, revati butchers—ardra, swati, moola, shatabhisha

mleccha—the outcastes. these were people who committed heinous crimes and were a threat to society. even a brahmin who comitted the sin of raping another woman could become a mleccha. mleccha were not any 'caste', they were no caste at all and condemned until they died. we only include people here who committed wrongdoings under situations under their own control. a woman who aborted a child due to her own health issues, trans people etc are not to be included here, unless they commit another crime. nakshatras—ashlesha, bharani, vishakha, shravana.

now, let's come down to business. following are general guidelines required to use the varna system—

we only use the caste / varna of our moon sign. having a certain varna in many of your planets is not indicative of anything, only consider the varna of your moon sign.

varna is used for analysing many things, for starters. we use varna for figuring out the most appropriate life path for oneself, and also which kind of career the native would thrive in. one's moon sign's varna is indicative of how we interact with the world and what things we're good with.

note that we employ flexibility here. having a nakshtra in a brahmin varna does not make you 'superior', you simply have other strengths, is all. similarly, having a mleccha varna does not make you a bad person, or that you will commit crimes.

in friendships, marriages, and other unions varna represents how well the ideals of two people match. for eg, a brahmin will never get along with a shudra. nor will a kshatriya. vaishya will get along with shudra, and with brahmin, but not with kshatriya and so on.

tbh the complexity with mleccha is that it belongs nowhere so compatibility matching becomes tricky. an outcaste is not accepted by society, so discussing them becomes difficult. personally, i believe that mleccha varna people can only get along well with each other.

GENERAL VARNA OBSERVATIONS

kshatriya naks are usually stubborn and self-righteous. once they make up their mind about something, it's very hard to convince them otherwise, even if you're right. pushya people even end up losing their trust in those who question their judgement. they can be impulsive and have difficulty keeping their silence when they are hurt. genuinely flamboyant people smh you tell them to wear something casual and they'll bring out a met gala ass outfit. very beautiful people though, they entrance others easily with their charm and beauty, so they get away with it. kinda dramatic too lmao these people often have the jester's privilege 🤷‍♀️ i said what i said. there's a regal aura about them and they easily get away with things. it repeatedly reminds me of achilles, for some reason. bold, bright and attractive; and most of all, worthy of praise. their fame is well deserved, but restraint on the smug attitude is important to avoid making enemies. these people are prone to getting back stabbed. also likely to challenge the system. but not like a revolutionary radical way like mleccha naks do, but rather 'fy bitch, i'm gonna wear what i wanna and look how i naturally am. y'all ain't got shit on me.' if i'm being honest, it's actually pretty respectable.

mleccha nak people are most likely to question the working of things. and they are the type of people who research everything before they fight about it, to make sure they can't be proven wrong. bharani is pretty much the face of this aspect. they easily feel victimised and are sensitive to criticism. sensitive does not mean cry baby though, like bharani could probably punch your face in if it has had enough, sensitive is used in the context of reactive here. they are the people who are most likely to be abused or ignored. usually have trauma related to certain aspects of life. ashlesha have childhood trauma, bharani have trauma related to being restrained (emotional manipulation and being misguided by people they trusted) and so on... mleccha naks have a tendency of being air-headed when it comes to whoever is hurt by their words when they are certain they are speaking the truth. or when they decide they had enough shit and want to voice their feelings. they stop caring about societal restraints and could even spit at a king's face if it comes down to it. usually lonely people. if i'm being honest ashlesha manages to become an odd one out here too, since they don't really fit in much anywhere. they crave company but they are repeatedly betrayed. so it's like push and pull with them, and others don't want to be with such a person. ashlesha's biggest lesson is to see the truth for what it is.

brahmin nak people.. enjoy life, so to say. they can be kinda lazy or have tendencies to order people around. can be self-righteous and massive snobs when they are not self-conscious. other than that, they are pretty chill people. they go with the flow and hold on to the seaweeds when they sense the waters are getting too fast. they know to, and when not to exert themselves. morally good people though, usually have good childhoods. kind of reminds me of gryffindors, they want the best for everyone, but they are a bit rough around the edges and unintentionally hurt others. ngl most of them were very proud people, and others were sadistic. ig brahmin naks have an air of authority which they are more than aware of and it adds to their already inflated egos. it is necessary to remain humble, otherwise people will easily hate on these people. they are very talented, and so most people desire to bring them down as soon as they can. acting foolishly or with vanity is like their one-way ticket to downfall.

vaishya nak people are incredibly clever and quick witted. of course, since it's a wide range of naks i won't generalise, but remember that wit exists in various forms. such as ashwini is prodigal type of intelligence, whereas chitra is 'sell combs to a bald man' type of wit. the farmer category & the worker shudras are hard working naks. they are devoted to what they do and remain grounded, even after massive success. it is difficult for them to see past excessive fonts and twisted words. tbh it doesn't make much sense to them, they are the type to say stuff as it is. no buttering, no boot licking. they believe that if you want something, then you work for it; no excuses. revati is a bit of a nepo baby, but they definitely believe in hard work, as well. often worth their salt. can be delusional though, at least it keeps them happy. the merchant vaishyas are the clever ones. these are the type of people you want to associate with smart work. the farmers category was hard work, but here wit is a major theme. they also don't mind buttering as long as it gets work done. clever people. probably would use others for their own benefit. their usefulness gains them many friends and accomplishments in life. the butcher shudras are just as hardworking as the worker shudras, but they are classified as having a more 'it is what it is' type of mindset. they can hurt people at times, and have a harsh nature. they are the type of people who accept life for what it is and silently suck it up. not ones to complain, usually. when they they set their mind to completing something, they don't rest until they achieve it. they usually don't demand praise for their work, but definitely deserve it.

general compatibility—

✓ brahmins—brahmin, kshatriya, vaishya ✓ kshatriyas—brahmin, kshatriya, vaishya, mleccha ✓ vaishyas—brahmin, kshatriya, vaishya, shudra ✓ shudras—vaishya, shudra, mleccha ✓ mlecchas—kshatriya, shudra, mleccha

extreme incompatibility—

✗ brahmin—mleccha ✗ kshatriya—shudra ✗ vaishya— none ✗ shudra—kshatriya ✗ mleccha—brahmin

extreme compatibility—

✓ brahmins—brahmin ✓ kshatriyas—kshatriya ✓ mlecchas—mleccha

GANA

INTRODUCTION: there is no english equivalent for this word, the closest it can be translated to is 'behaviour'. gana is used to compare a native's energy and overall traits in a rough manner with the energies associated with 'swarga' / heaven, 'naraka' / hell and 'mrityu loka' / 'prithvi' / earth. hence, there are three ganas: 'deva' / godly, 'rakshasa' / demonly, 'manushya' / 'nara' / human, respectively. (ironic and funny sounding, but don't think of it from your, i.e a human's perspective. think of it from the view of the universe and you'll understand what it's supposed to mean.)

BASIC INFO: again, it is important to mention that flexibility is exercised in this matter. rakshasa gana naks are not actually demons, it's supposed to describe an energy. only the gana of the moon nak is to be taken in reference. although, yes, most planets' naks being in the same gana makes it the dominant one.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS OF THE GANAS

deva gana naks are of positive and bright energy. we associate them with the morning, and these people usually function best in the day. they are splendorous and usually strict about their principles or whatever their codes of conduct are. they are impatient, vain, and even selfish at times. intelligence, wit, fierceness, beauty (beauty is used in the context of abundance, not looks) and fine speech is associated with them. they are clean and usually enjoy fresh or healthy food. they can be immense people pleasers, and care a lot about their reputation. they prefer company over solitude.

rakshasa gana naks are abundant in energy and patience. they are deliberate and know where and how to invest their energy. they are associated with the night and have tendencies towards being night-owls. they are learnt in the sciences. they can be messy and unhygienic. they handle intensity, anger and violence from others well, because they know how to handle their own darkness. they can be harsh by nature and hurt others. they are familiar with solitude, and are at comfort with it. company can make them anxious.

manushya gana naks are in the middle of both extremes, embodying balance in their traits. they are usually humanitarian and adore animals. their traits are indefinite most of the times because they are flexible and get along with both deva gana and rakshasa gana people.

✗ deva and rakshasa gana people do not get along, especially if the charts are extremely polar about their nature as well.

✓ manushya gana people get along with all three ganas.

✓ deva and rakshasa gana are compatible with others of their own gana.

✓ two deva gana people are extremely compatible.

The Eri request where she temporarily turns into an infant was adorable!!

How about the ROR with Eri Reader where she accidentally becomes a baby for a week?

Eri tried to defend one of her family members from a god’s ability and was turned into a baby as a result OR it was the result of an accident with Beelzebub’s elixirs that accidentally spilled on Eri

So much obnoxious and ugly crying seeing Eri so tiny and delicate!

Each Pantheon is taking turns caring for Baby Eri, from Greek, Norse, Hindu, Sages, Shinto, the Valkyrie Sisters and the Human Fighters

Baby Eri is surprisingly very touchy as she likes touching her family members faces and playing with their hands (Or fingers because some of them have big hands)

Eri’s not a fussy baby unless she’s startled, then she’ll cry, as she wants to be held until she falls asleep (She’ll cry from sudden loud noises or anything scary)

Her favorite food is apple sauce as she’ll even excitedly coo when she sees any of her family members holding it (Loki received a few lumps when he was lightly teasing Eri from showing and hiding her food)

They were surprised that Baby Eri developed some favoritism for certain family members, such as Adam, Eve, Buddha, Shiva, Hercules, Jack, Thor and even Anubis

They were relieved to learn it will only be temporary (However they’ll probably be sad Eri won’t be so wittle anymore, only to remember they took a bunch of pictures)

Please get plenty of sleep and stay hydrated!

-It was an accident, an experiment gone wrong, and you were unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time and were hit by Beelzebub’s and Nikola’s failed experiment.

-Many had called out your name in worry, thinking you had been hurt when you disappeared in a cloud of smoke, but it was the sound of a crying baby that made everyone freeze.

-When Hercules, who made it to you first, found you- he froze, seeing that you had been turned into a baby. He was so gentle, cradling you like you were the most fragile of glass as he turned, his eyes wide, panicking as you were crying, showing everyone that you had been turned into a baby!!

-Everyone, naturally, freaked the freak out something fierce, panicking at what had happened, but Adam quickly came over, taking you from Hercules and cradled you in his arms, trying to get you to calm down.

-Once you were calm and sleeping, only then did everyone else calm down, trying to figure out what had happened to make you like this.

-Nikola and Beelzebub were able to figure out what went wrong and that you would be fine in about a week, which is about when this affect would wear off and you would return to normal- so until then you would be a baby!!

-You were highly protected for the first two days, Adam and Eve holding you close, with Hercules sitting right behind them and the Valkyries all around you, forming a protective barrier against all others, much to the dismay of everyone else who also wanted to see you when you were so tiny!!

-At the dawn of the third day, Adam relented, only letting the other human warriors to be close to you, and they all passed you around as you cooed happily, playing with their larger hands, gumming them with your toothless mouth.

-Lu Bu was the only one who was really panicking, completely stiff as Adam handed you to him, he didn’t know the first thing about holding a baby and figured if he just stayed still you would be fine.

-It was amusing, as the Valkyries were taking all sorts of photos of you while you were tiny, seeing this big scary warrior being completely frozen while you chewed on his scarred fingers.

-When the gods finally were allowed, under the supervision of either one of the Valkyries, Adam, or Hercules, there was a lot of crying. Loki was obnoxiously crying, taking millions of photos while he couldn’t make a coherent word, loving how tiny you were.

-There were some that had one of your protectors breathing down their necks as they held you, Zeus was at the top of that list, while others, like Odin, Hades, and Shiva, were expert baby holders and knew exactly what to do.

-Thor was just like Lu Bu, frozen stiff, not wanting to accidentally hurt you, which many did think was adorable. Poseidon didn’t want to hold you, mainly because he didn’t want to hurt you, but he tried to play tough, saying it was beneath him, but Hades knew better and made his younger brother sit down and hold you, but when you started crying Poseidon chased Zeus around for teasing him about making you cry.

-Everyone enjoyed the time while you were so little, playing with you, exploring with you, and taking care of you- it was so different to see you so widdle.

-You woke up in the Hindu pantheon, as Shiva and his wives were some of the only ones the Valkyries and Adam trusted to take care of you, since he was such a good father.

-You rubbed your eyes, feeling a bit confused as Shiva was snoring next to you and you shook one of his arms and he snorted awake, seeing you back to normal as you spoke, still a bit groggy, “Did we have a sleepover?”

-He chuckled warmly, hugging you close, “Something like that- you had an accident.” You were confused, not remembering anything but when he arrived with you to see everyone else, many called out your name happily, seeing that you were back to normal.

-You were in awe, seeing the photos of when you were a baby, “Was I really this tiny?” they all nodded in unison as Loki held you close, happy to have you back to normal as you were in awe of what had happened.

-They all remained silent, while happy to have the normal you back, they adored having you so small, you were so precious, so delicate- it gave them a glimpse of what could have been if they found you as a baby and raised you.

...the more I learned about 'the Seven Sages' on my journey through the ancient texts and commentaries, the more they began to sound to me like a religious cult armed with powerful spiritual ideas, fired by yogic asceticism and the quest for gnosis, manipulating the development of 'kingdoms' in India from retreats in the Himalayas. And maybe not only kingdoms in India, but elsewhere in the archaic world as well?

Lord Indra - Kings of the Devas

"Indra, the mighty wielder of the thunderbolt, reigns supreme as the King of the Devas, the celestial realm".

Lord Indra's roots are firmly planted in the Vedic scriptures, especially the Rigveda. Born to the sage Kashyapa and the primordial goddess Aditi, his divine lineage sets the stage for a mythic narrative of cosmic significance. The Rigveda sings hymns praising Indra's valor, recounting his legendary battles against the serpent demon Vritra. This epic clash establishes Indra as a heroic figure and the vanquisher of chaos.

Role in the Hindu Pantheon:

Beyond the Rigveda, Lord Indra's role in the Hindu pantheon is multifaceted. As the ruler of Svarga, the heavenly abode, he governs with regal authority and martial prowess. Indra emerges not only as a warrior defeating demonic adversaries but also as the upholder of dharma, ensuring that cosmic order and righteousness prevail. HYMN VII. Indra.

1 INDRA the singers with high praise, Indra reciters with their lauds, Indra the choirs have glorified. 2 Indra hath ever close to him his two bay steeds and word-yoked car, Indra the golden, thunder-armed. 3 Indra hath raised the Sun on high in heaven, that he may see afar: He burst the mountain for the kine. 4 Help us, O Indra, in the frays, yea, frays, where thousand spoils are gained, With awful aids, O awful One. 5 In mighty battle we invoke Indra, Indra in lesser fight, The Friend who bends his bolt at fiends. 6 Unclose, our manly Hero, thou for ever bounteous, yonder cloud, For us, thou irresistible. 7 Still higher, at each strain of mine, thunder-armed Indra's praises rise: I find no laud worthy of him. 8 Even as the bull drives on the herds, he drives the people with his might, The Ruler irresistible: 9 Indra who rules with single sway men, riches, and the fivefold race Of those who dwell upon the earth. 10 For your sake from each side we call Indra away from other men: Ours, and none others', may he be. ~Indra in the Rig-Veda - Book I
