Moon in Anuradha

What Anuradha nakshatra is said to give

Anuradha belongs to Mitra, god of friendship and alliances, and its symbol is the lotus. The tradition reads it as the mansion of devotion that organizes people: friendships and cooperation that turn out to hold whole groups together. People with the Moon here are described as loyal, sociable and successful far from home.

Strengths

Friendship, cooperation, discipline and emotional loyalty.

Challenges

Melancholy, jealousy and holding on to hurts.

Anuradha in relationships

Deeply loyal and devoted, values lifelong bonds.

Anuradha at work

Organization, diplomacy, travel, research and group leadership.

The lotus blooms above muddy water; Anuradha is devotion that flourishes in difficult conditions.

Reading Anuradha: gana, yoni and caste

  • Gana: Deva — divine: refined and cooperative, easy to live with and slow to confront. Nearest Deva neighbors: Swati (no. 15) and Shravana (no. 22).
  • Yoni: Deer — shared only with Jyeshtha (no. 18); two charts with the same yoni get the top score for this factor.
  • Caste: Laborer. Presiding deity: Mitra, god of friendship; symbol: a lotus, a staff.
