Anuradha - 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 Anuradha Nakshatra is someone’s Ascendant Nakshatra and how it is going to impact the life pattern of person.


So, let’s cover this article under 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 life as pattern.


Anuradha - Anuradha Nakshatra is from 3.20 degree of Scorpio to 16.40 degree of Scorpio. So, Anuradha Nakshatra is in front of Rohini Nakshatra from 10.00 degree to 16.40 degree of Scorpio. It is a nakshatra of following heart's desires or being devotional about something or someone. It is also related with mystical side of life.

Effect of Anuradha Nakshatra as Ascendant Nakshatra – Anuradha is nakshatra of devotion; either it can be devotion towards a person or an activity or passion. It is nakshatra of pursuing your passion despite all odds. This nakshatra also represents people who are rebellious by nature and go against the society. So, these are two main traits of Anuradha Nakshatra; i.e. Devotion and Rebellious Nature.


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 above traits and characteristics of Anuradha Nakshatra which (any of them) can become Life Pattern for someone if it is person’s ascendant nakshatra. Now, in whichever House/Sign Anuradha lord Saturn is placed in a Scorpio Ascendant's chart, person may get Anuradha’s and Saturn’s results as life pattern. Additionally, person’s life pattern involving aforementioned activities can be exhibited from the house/sign wherever Saturn is placed in chart.


Here, going through Saturn’s 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, Saturn in 4th house/Aquarius shows that person can be very passionate or devoted about serving humanity through entrepreneurship. Relation with Mother can have its own challenges as Saturn is not a relationship oriented planet but person can still feel devoted towards his Mother. Person can be feeling responsible and dutiful towards home matters or mother although relation may not be great. They can have a very unconventional business or unconventional relation with Mother.


Whereas Saturn in 6th house/Aries shows that person can be feeling devoted to serve under privileged people. They may like to serve people in health or legal matters. They can be devoted towards people who are facing these health/legal issues. It also shows that they can have unconventional or rare health issues. They can also be interested in unconventional ways of healing modalities. At the same time, in some cases, they themselves can have serious health issues for long durations. As Saturn is debilitated here, person can face long term obstacles here and may find difficult to come out of it.


Final example, Saturn in 10th house/Leo shows that they are devoted towards career, authority and recognition etc. They can work really hard to get it. They can be in a very unconventional career or can have a very unconventional relation with their Father. They can have huge ego clashes with any authority figure in life, including Father. Still they would feel responsible and devoted to Father. As Saturn is in enemy sign, person can find difficult to handle ego issues with people.


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 I said, with malefic planets like Saturn and Ketu, dignity doesn’t matter really. So, we cannot decide the probable results with dignity here but we can say that as Saturn is involved, results can be attained only after delay, hard work and perseverance. We can also apply the rule of Jeeva Karaka and Ajeeva Karaka which can tell us where or towards whom the native may get better results and where he may have to persevere more.


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

Hope this helps. Thanks,
