Saturn nakshatras and developing will

⚔⚔⚔

Uttara Bhadrapada🌊🐉⚔🐮👑

Just a thought: if you are familiar with basic indicators and coorelations in astrology, you might know that Saturn is associated with rules, discipline and obedience. Have any of you found saturn dominant people(people with any of the big three in saturn nakshatras) rather hard to control? Because I have.

Saturn, at its core, and by its simplest understanding is simply a force that binds, making it necessary for anything to materialize. The "rules" are simply the limitations that give any substance an opportunity to take form through submitting to them. So, they can either be correct or not, but never "good" or "bad".

In life, everything is a limitation. Anything that exists is a limitation, and that limitation is precisely what gives it definition. You can't be everything, because then you'd be nothing. "To define is to limit." Exactly.

So, if you think about it, life is just limitations. Every choice is a limitation, every decision is a momentary rule, and any force that you encounter in life is its own unique set of rules and affects you accordingly.

The question arises: which rules and limitations then, should I follow? Which ones are "correct"?

Maybe each of you reading this could test yourself and think about how many choices(big or minor) throughout each day do you make thoughtlessly or carelessly. How many of those truly come from you and from your truest self, because those are the exact rules you should folow. Not something similar, not something almost the same, but exactly those, precision is key to saturn.

Because you yourself were born through limitations(the theme of bharani_ saturn's debilitation, where those rules come from a higher place in hierarchy and are enforced, requiring for the person in question to find inner bravery and will). You yourself, naturally, are a unique set of rules, and require no master other than your truth. The point of control is that if you do not control yourself, others will control you. And if you do, those who don't will naturally be submitted under you.

The sun is just substance that encourages individuality. It does not need to concern itself with the world of hierarchies and rules and materialism, that is not its job. It's the soul. But it's only one side of the coin. To be human is to have a soul(sun) in a flesh that lives in the physical world(saturn). That individuality can only exist if it follows the rules set by itself.

Saturn is the other side: it finds itself in a world of countless limitations and rules. At some point it most likely realizes that it doesn't have to be afraid of those, it just needs to find the correct rules to submit to, and those rules are based on and come from its soul and individuality(sun).

That way the sun and saturn are always connected and are dependant on each other. Saturn and sun nakshatras are all opposite each other and the two pairs of them are yoni consorts(cow and sheep yonis). They always seek each other out and/or are constantly drawn together without choice.

And this dependancy and choiclessness regarding one's nature is also something Saturn has to learn to deal with. True limitations have fo be accepted, so that you don't have to accept limitation imposed by others that aren't true for you. (This is also connected to Bharani_ where higher forces gaslight human souls, and where courage, force and knowledge of your truth will save you from being intimidated and subdued and are the keys to individuation. Btw, the nakshatra of complete individuation is Revati_ Bharani's yoni consort, but those two require their own set of long posts😭.)

Anyways, Saturn has ro master and develop courage and discipline to be their true selves in the face of anyone and anything that is out to make them submit. Over time, it achieves clarity, precision and perfection, and at that point if any outer force encouters it, it will find that it cannot be controlled. Not by fear, not by intimidation, not by anything other than what it chose itself throught love(Swati_ Saturn's exaltation).

So, if you think that Saturn means submission to anything and everything, then I think you have misunderstood its nature. After all, limitations have to be limited too, to only those that are correct, erasing the false ones. In a way, it's defeating the limitations in their own game, fighting them with their own weapon.

I see the last nakshatra of any planet as transcending the planet. Like Purva Ashadha, where Venus is channeled through Jupiter, finally sharing its bounty with others. Or Purva Bhadrapada_ where Jupiter's excess has to be erased and restricted(Saturn), and crystalized(Saturn again) down to its true form.

And then we reach Uttara Bhadrapada. The last Saturn-ruled nakshatra, where the challenge is to transcend the challenge itself, to transcend the limitations and hardships and the rules. I already said how that is done, and that's exactly what Uttara Bhadrapada does. It's known as "The Warrior Star", and not by mistake, because its iron will can never be broken nor bended.

Once all the work is done all that is left is to enjoy everything, to enjoy the end, to appreciate all that has been and just be. And that brings us to Revati_the point of ultimate freedom and individuation, the end of the journey, the calm after the storm, the ending where everything falls into place, and the fun starts...

Look out for my post on Revati(?😭😭).

I want to do it but let's see. Revati and Bharani and their dynamic.

[blackknight-100]

Desperately need to talk about how fatherhood works in the Mahabharata for Surya and Indra with their mortal sons.

Arjuna is known as Indra's child. His most common epithets (related to familial lineage) largely come from his mother, but it is openly understood that he is Indra's child. Indra helps him out so many times and it's wholesome as hell.

Then you have Karna, who is not acknowledged as Surya's son, and Surya keeps Kunti's secret either out of duty or regret (for leaving a child with a baby, that is). So his help is next to nothing for most of Karna's life. And then the event comes when his brother is about to take away his son's armour, the only protection he has been able to offer this boy, and he knows Karna will give it away but he goes to dissuade him anyway. When he comes, in most versions, he says he comes to aid an ardent devotee. In BORI he says that there is a secret he cannot reveal, but he is here to warn Karna out of love.

And it stands out to me so much, that from Karna's perspective, he meets his father through years of devotion and prayer, because you can tell he thinks of Surya as his mentor and spiritual guide, and Adhiratha as his father. He has next to no qualms in claiming Radha as his mother even after he is told the truth, and his reaction to Kunti being his mother is not dissimilar.

And then this god shows up, does not even bother to reveal that he is his father (I imagine Karna must have been pretty peeved when he found out - in a "you could've just told me when you visited" way) and asks him to let go of the one thing he takes great pride in. Even there too, there is a great deal of respect for agency: Karna is firm and Surya compromises. If they'd had a few more chances to interact, I think they would work out pretty well.

And then you have Arjun and Indra, so beautifully entwined, so beloved and so dear. Indra helping Arjuna is seen as interference (and rightly so), but there is something so paternal about how Indra desperately tries to protect his child - depending on the version he (not necessarily chronologically):

a) mitigates the Urvashi curse,

b) sends out the Gandharvas to heckle the Kauravas

c) bestows divine counsel upon his son

d) gives him a great bow after getting thrashed

e) turns into an insect and gets Karna cursed.

And most importantly, he shows up at a MORTAL'S door, CLAIMING TO BE A BRAHMAN (which is, again depending on version, one of reasons why said mortal got cursed), declines offers of land and money and girls, and shamelessly demands the armour. A KING. REDUCED TO A BEGGAR.

Because remember, technically Brahman's are given state funding for their research, education, priesthood, or simply their birth. Indra does none of these. He knows this. Karna knows this. He knows that Karna knows this. But he demands it anyway.

Obviously, Karna's devotion to the Sun God, and the fact the said god is his father is a narrative device meant to represent his arc of reaching for the sun and getting burned (in most cases, at least), while Arjuna's relation to Indra and his rain motifs is because narratively he peaks at terminal velocity and then freefalls to the earth as soon as Krishna dies.

But I love thinking of what their respective relations to their fathers must have been, and how it mirrors/contrasts Kunti's relationship with the gods. Kunti calls Indra and he does what she wants (for him to give her a baby), and is able to support their child in most cases. Surya is called and he does not do what Kunti wants (for him to leave immediately), and his relationship with their son is one of distance and endurance. But they are good fathers still, as good as god can be. (Except Surya with Shani. Idk what's going on there).

Anyway I forgot what point I was trying to make... but yeah!

[zeherili-ankhein]

One thing people don't realize about Krishna defeating Indra is that

They both are Adityas. Their powers are at a very similar level (granted, Vyas was a little biased towards Krishna). So Krishna definitely has a chance of defeating him. Because he's frickin Vishnu. But that doesn't mean Indra can't defeat Krishna either, because in an unbiased text source, he definitely would (same with the rest of the Adityas).

Yeah

Also I rhink it also comes from the fact of Vishnu supremacy happening at that time like the entire multiverse thing with there being only one Vishnu but diff Brahmas

So to show Vishnu was superior and stuff

Lmao it's so weird but if we consider the fqct if Vyas being Vishnu's avatar, it feels like he was just dissing his older brother like those “yeah BTW I am better than him...”

Some people just don't like that Indra is a cool dude.... 😔

And that entire tale was supposed to be some symbolic thing and all with the story centering at breaking Indra's arrogance and Govardhan supremacy and all, so it's kinda understandable and obvious why he'd loose

And yeah not to mention Surya is called Suryanarayan and identified AS Vishnu sometimes, like definitely he'd be able to defeat him... sad the entire Saurya cult (is that what's that called?) just died :(

Also people forget mostly that Vishnu is also an Aditya lol... (Aditi is gonna beat them up all hopefully)

lunar individuals may feel envious of solar people at times — the moon constantly craves attention while the sun naturally commands it. lunar natives may feel 'outshined' in the presence of solar natives. meanwhile the solar individual may be unaware or oblivious to the lunar native's feelings of envy/ inadequacy

Surya, the Sun God

early 700s, Kashmir

Surya wears a long tunic and boots suitable for riding horses across the grassland steppes of Central Asia. The sun god was of paramount power among the people of Central and Western Asia who followed religions such as Zoroastrianism, a pre-Islamic faith emphasizing a sacred duality between light and dark. When the image of the sun god began to be made in India from the 100s BC on, he is shown in the dress of the people who revered him the most. Surya is worshipped throughout the Indian subcontinent and Himalayan regions of Kashmir and Nepal alongside both Hindu and Buddhist deities.

[mytholots]

Apollo: If I fall…

Surya: I’ll be there to catch you.

Lugh: *looks at Sol* What if I fall?

Sol: Then I’ll fall with you, never leaving your side.

Huitzilopochtli: *watches these two interactions*

Huitzilopochtli, to Ra: And if I fall?

Ra: I’ll be the one who pushed you.

[ardra-astrology]

A demon ate the Sun

Another word for Vedic Astrology is Jyotish which means Science or Study of the Light. The Darkening of the Sun is considered an inauspicious occurrence. In Vedic Astrology the Solar Eclipse happens when Rahu swallows the Sun. However, Rahu being only the severed head of the snake demon, can’t hold onto the Sun. The Sun is eventually able to pass through the opening of Rahu’s neck, and end the eclipse.

Sun Fears None But Rahu

It is also believed that an eclipse creates a portal - one in which dark entities can pass through and enter the Earthly plane. Because of this theory it is recommended to not observe it but rather stay inside and go somewhere safe. Spiritual practices are considered to be very beneficial during this time. Also good are prayers and puja for the Sun/Surya to support Him during this possession.

This eclipse in particular is being highly Ritualized. The elitists are sending 3 NASA rocket ships at it. Why??! They talk so much about climate change and the broken ozone layer then spend ALOT of money & time to hurl unnecessary fire-y objects into space? What are they trying to conjure up?

Prayers for Surya 🙏🏻

Bouncing off of the last post, what is the difference between revati chandra and revati surya?

the difference between your surya, chandra, and lagna - what determines planetary dominance the most (a revati case study) 🎀

🎀 i am so glad you asked this question because it alludes to a larger conversation in astrology: the differences and similarities between the manifestation of the same nakshatra in differing luminaries. you will likely find yourself relating to celebrities or familiar friends who share similar nakshatras or rashis as your top three, but wherein lies the difference between you both?

🎀 you surya is representative of the father, the king, power, authority, your soul, and the way you appear to other people. how bright your outward projection is depends upon the strength of your surya placement. surya controls the vital energy within you that drives you towards attaining fulfillment. whereas, your chandra is representative of the mother, the queen, intrapersonal and interpersonal emotions, mental clarity, familial relationships, and the matters of the mind. it is not inherently your intelligence (as this is under buddha's rulership), but how your emotions shape the expression and drive of your intelligence. additionally, your ascendent is considered the most important house in sidereal astrology, as it rules one's body and personality. do not confuse this with denoting luck, career, and wealth, as these are the more centralized likes of other houses in the chart. in my opinion, it is simply the basis for our being.

🎀 this is ultimately why the lagna is often said to influence one's appearance the most, as it is our core foundation. however, the potency and effectivity of your surya or chandra fluctuates depending on its placement and strength. for example, having a leo uttara phalguni surya in the first house tightly conjunct your lagna that serves as your atmakaraka is more likely to you make solar dominant than having a taurus krittika surya in your twelfth house that is conjunct shani and is your darakaraka. it is all about relativity and strength! this is ultimately why i encourage people to really explore their chart (as there are instances where your big three nakshatra's vimshottari rulers may not be your dominant grahas). look at your karakas, rashis, mahadashas, aspects, lagna lords, yogas, etc..

🎀 rant aside, how people interpret a nakshatra that occupies a chandra or surya is entirely dependent on the previous detailed factors. just remember your surya is the outer self, which can be altered according to your choice and situation while your chandra is the inner you, your true self. surya takes twelve months to traverse all rashis, i.e. remains for a full month within one rashi, therefore, the predictions made can be used for a single month. however, your chandra moves more quickly and is only in a particular sign for approximately two and a half days. Hence, the predictions on the basis of moon sign are more precise and accurate, therefore having a certain nakshatra in your chandra is considered to be generally more significant than your surya (relative planetary strength willing). to see this phenomena, let us examine the differences between different revati surya, chandra, and lagna natives

🎀 above are two revati lagnas, bette midler (left) and shakira (right). both natives look similar to one another with their slightly arched, high brows; almond eyes with a downturned inner corner, prominent nose, oval facial shape, defined cheek apples, and perfectly symmetrical lips. despite both women sharing no prominent placements (shakira is a shravana surya and punarvasu chandra native, midler is an anuradha surya and and swati chandra native), they both are comparable as far as physical facial appearance.

*see my previous post on rahu and shani's, specifically swati and anuradha, correlations to looking alike with other individuals

🎀 anya taylor-joy (left) and carly chaikin (right)

🎀 chaikin has an uttara bhadrapada surya and potential revati chandra. whereas, taylor-joy has an ashwini surya and potential revati chandra. despite both celebrities being potential revati natives, we can see their overall facial characteristic differences. despite them sharing similar nasal structure and facial shape, their eye distance, brow shape, and mouth shape are incredibly different. thus, suggesting that other grahas are influencing their appearance more so than revati.

🎀 paulina porizkova (left) christina moore (right)

🎀 moore is a revati surya and potential ashlesha chandra native. conversely, porizkova is revati surya, pushya chandra, and vishakha lagna native. interestingly, both women have shukra conjunct their surya within a degree. these two natives look more alike than taylor-joy and chaikin despite them having differing primary placement energies. this overall dominance of revati in their appearance (aforementioned lightly arched, high brows; almond eyes with a downturned inner corner, prominent nose, oval facial shape, defined cheek apples, and perfectly symmetrical lips) is likely attributable to their surya being their atmakaraka, meaning the graha most indicative of one's soul in their chart. therefore, it is likely these natives resonate more with their revati surya than other placements in their chart.

🎀 i hope this helped better understand the physical differences witnessed within different nakshatras. i hope to speak about the internal differences in a later post <3

* all of these placements were found using astrotheme/.com and/or astro-charts/.com. it is important to note that some chandra (moon) placements may be off by up to 6 degrees and lagnas (ascendants/rising signs) as well, due to the fact that many websites do not have 100% accurate birth times for the given celebrities.

xoxo, angel 💋

[askteamsupernova]

to Surya!

what happened in the months after the world was saved and Ammy disappeared? what was your reunion like? (assuming this blog follows the canon events of pmd: explorers)

Surya: Mom's suggestion was really helpful, actually. It turns out a lot of exploration and rescue teams go through stressful situations like that, and there are always pokemon willing to help them afterwards.

Ammy: It's always good to have a friend to lean on. Sometimes you just have to get things out!

[h0bg0blin-meat]

Naahhh my mind spins

In some versions the Sudarshan Chakra was made from Surya's brightness and all right? So basically his son...

Imagine that scene in Mahabharat when Krishna covered the sun with his chakra for Arjun to kill Jayadrath going like

Surya:

Sudarshan: :)

Surya: son-

Sudarshan: hey dad :)

Surya: I can't see yk...

Sudarshan: ik :)

Surya: *sighs*

LMFAO 😭

OMG THAT'D BE SO FUNNY

Surya: Son

Sudarshan: Yes dad?

Surya: Please move.

Sudarshan: Can't. Sorry.

Surya: Okay then. Karna is my fav son.

Sudarshan: *dramatic gasp* I knew it!!

Exaltation Series: Sun in Ashvini

An exalted planet means this planet has reached the higher point in its own sky. There, the planet feels free to unleash its power for better... Or worse. The sign where the planet is exalted allows the planet to flourish, as well as the nakshatra where the exaltation degree falls.

Sun's Exaltation in Ashvini

The Sun gets exalted in Aries 10° in Ashvini. (Ashvini: 0°00 Aries to 13°20 Aries). Here, the Sun's heat burns. It burns to the point that, according to tradition, the rays of Surya the Sun God were so strong that his wife Sanjna Consciousness, decided to escape, replacing herself by her clone, Chhaya the shadow. When Yama, their son, told him the truth, Surya asked for help to reduce his rays and once it was done, he came to see her. Then, they conceived the Ashvin Kumars, the twin horses, who rule Ashvini nakshatra. Surya Sun is their father: life, vitality, health, rejuvenation are the Ashvin's main characteristics. Their healing gifts saved many human mortals. Unlike the general Deva/Gods' viewpoint that consider humanity as impure, the Ashvins did not hesitate to help human beings in distress just like the Sun rays help all living entities on Earth every single day. The unafflicted Ashvini natives do not discriminate who to save: they must save everyone.

The Sun unleashes his powerful rays through Ashvini giving life, youthfulness and restoring everything, which is broken. The Sun is the king and he knows no boundaries. He wants everything right now at speed of light because he is made of light. He is depicted as driving a chariot with 7 unstoppable horses: transportation is a key theme in Ashvini. Ashvini natives like cars, or any other types of vehicles, but most importantly, they want quickness. The Sun is the natural karaka/significator of the soul: he places you in this situation so your soul learns and burns karmas. Ashvini is the best nakshatra to finish off karmas because Ashvini gives you this inner impulse to do it no matter what as Ashvini's ultimate goal is to start something new. Sun in Ashvini natives want to be free, fast, first in everything they do, everywhere. Their spiritual nature is generous and they want to help people in need hence you find them working in emergency fields. But when the Sun exalted here is afflicted, his rays become scorching. He makes life a burning desert and takes it away... After all, Surya Sun God is also Yama's father, the God of death. Ashvini Sun natives' anger has no limit as well as impatience. They become bossy, domineering and harsh. Don't get too close!... Unless the natives learn to cool themselves down like Surya Sun God who had his rays diminished to make up with Sanjna again.
