Bharani - Ascendant Nakshatra Life Pattern

Please refer to the introductory article here – https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/AscendantNakshatraandLifePattern to understand the theme and purpose of this series.

So, now we will try to understand that what will happen if Bharani Nakshatra is someone’s Ascendant Nakshatra and how it is going to impact the life pattern of person?

So, let’s go through this article covering the following points –

Ascendant Nakshatra – There is something called the Ascendant Nakshatra. It is based on the degree of Ascendant (please find introduction of all the Nakshatras here - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/intronaksh). If Ascendant shows the life path then Ascendant Nakshatra will show the pattern of life. It shows the activities we follow throughout our life as a recurring pattern.

Bharani – Bharani is the nakshatra of death and re-birth, occult/hidden side of life and instabilities. This nakshatra is also connected with sexuality and attraction. As it is ruled by Venus, the significance of wealth, finance and creativity naturally comes to this nakshatra. For detailed information on Bharani Nakshatra, please check this link -https://www.astrosaxena.com/Bharanaksh . Needless to say that if Bharani is the Ascendant Nakshatra then it will be an Aries Ascendant chart.

Effect of Bharani Nakshatra as Ascendant Nakshatra – Bharani is the Nakshatra related to high level of secrecy. So, these people can be very secretive by nature/ they may be interested in or may be working in secret or research oriented matters. This nakshatra can make them interested in all kinds of occult matters, matters of death & rebirth or re-incarnation.

As it is represented by female sexual organ, they can either be very sexual by nature or they can be working in a sex related work which can be anything from sex therapist to child birth specialist to porn worker. At the same time, Bharani and its lord Venus are also related with healing and health care as Shukracharya (Venus) had the power to bring the dead back to life. All these traits can be an integral part of life for a native who has Bharani as the ascendant nakshatra

Ascendant Nakshatra Lord’s Position – Now, as ascendant shows our life path and ascendant lord’s position in chart shows the direction of life path; likewise, ascendant nakshatra shows our life pattern and position of ascendant nakshatra lord in chart shows that in which area of life, the life pattern will be exhibited.

Like, we have discussed all the above traits and characteristics of Bharani Nakshatra which (any of them) can become the Life Pattern for someone if it is person’s ascendant nakshatra. Now, in whichever House/Sign Bharani’s lord Venus is placed in an Aries Ascendant's chart, person may get Venus results there as per dignity of Venus. Additionally, person’s life pattern involving aforementioned activities can be exhibited from the house/sign wherever Venus is placed in chart; yet again as per the dignity of Venus.

Here, going through Venus’ position in each house/sign can be repetitive or monotonous. So, for understanding the end result, we can rely on the Concept of Who, How, What & Where - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/whww.

“Where” is the House where event is happening.

“What” is the Sign which is indicating towards event.

“Who” is the Planet who is bringing the event; and

“How” is the quality of event which depends on nature and dignity of planet.

For example in this matter, Venus in 2nd house/Taurus would show that person’s life pattern can be about taking care of his finance/wealth/family matters through any of the aforementioned activities. As Venus is in own sign, it shows that following this life pattern can be easy with family support and person can be benefitted without much efforts.

Whereas, Venus in 6th house/Virgo would show that person’s life pattern can be about healing or serving people through any of the aforementioned activities. But now as Venus is in debilitation sign, it shows that following this life pattern can be challenging and person may face lots of obstacles on the way and person can be benefitted only after putting serious efforts and hard work.

Final example, Venus in 4th house/Cancer would show that person’s life pattern can be about serving and nourishing people at homeland through Bharani related aforementioned activities. But now as Venus is in enemy sign, person can be feeling frustrated around the results.

As Venus is benefic planet, person would still get results but person would feel that results are not as per my expectations.

Needless to say that natural results of Venus, as a planet of beauty/luxury/love/romance will still be exhibited in the house where it is sitting; as per its dignity.

Like this, we can understand about how and where the ascendant nakshatra lord is exhibiting the results of life pattern. In further articles of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern, I will cover other house/sign positions which would help us in learning interpretation of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern in a more holistic way.

Dignity – As always, Dignity of Planet has the highest say. If Venus is in exaltation (Pisces), Own Signs (Taurus & Libra), Friendly Signs (Gemini) and Neutral Signs (Aries & Scorpio), there is a potential that person can get results without much difficulties or obstacles. When Venus is in Enemy Signs (Cancer & Leo), Saturnine Signs (Capricorn & Aquarius) and Debilitated Sign (Virgo) then things can be difficult to achieve and extra hard work is needed to be done.

Even this distinction can be understood differently by different people. Many a times, we don’t value things which are easily achieved or available to us and we end-up in valuing those things for which we had to work really hard. So, it is very difficult to judge as to which result is good or which result is bad. It largely depends on individual.

Conclusion – As I see, this is how we can understand as to how ascendant nakshatra can setup the life pattern for people with Bharani Nakshatra as the Ascendant.
