Bharani Nakshatra: Meaning
Bharani, second nakshatra of Mesha, evokes carrying to term; Yama and the yoni say nothing about a life; Shukra dasha, 20 years.
Bharani comes from a root meaning to carry; an archaic form of the name means she who carries away. This second nakshatra runs from 13°20 to 26°40 of Mesha.
Its deity is Yama, king of the world of the dead. It is pictured by the yoni, that is, the female sex, hence the womb. The contrast is striking: on one side the origin of a life, on the other the passage toward the dead. Hold both without comment. Neither of these two images says anything at all about a person's existence. What you keep is carrying something through to its term.
In the sky, Bharani comes down to three faint stars north of the back of the Ram, which some have also called the Fly. Two of them compete for the role of marker star of the asterism.
Shukra governs its dasha, which lasts 20 years.
Your Moon in Bharani
Going to the end of what you start: that is the first gift the portrait grants the Moon in Bharani. Added to it are sincere speech, know-how, a mood that is rarely sad and good resilience. Everything in this portrait is positive, which may surprise since the deity of this nakshatra rules over the dead. The portrait draws no link with this deity. Think of someone who announces a delivery for Friday and hands it in on Friday. Your Moon stood in Mesha, from 13°20′ to 26°40′. Your life began in a Shukra dasha.
Its ruler is Shukra: life begins in the Shukra dasha. It sits in Aries sidereal.
