The other mansions under Venus: Purva Phalguni and Purva Ashadha.

Your Moon nakshatra is read from a kundli chart on the sidereal zodiac; the moon sign calculator uses the tropical one, so it often names the next sign along. Kundli matching then compares the nakshatra with a partner's.

One degree of Bharani takes the Moon 98 minutes on this pass: that is how far both times move if your ayanamsa differs from Lahiri (24.23° in 2026) by a degree. Local times: IANA time zones, to the minute.

Moon in Bharani

What Bharani nakshatra is said to give

Bharani is ruled by Yama, the lord of death and moral order, and its symbol is the womb. The tradition reads it as the mansion of carrying something heavy — birth, death, responsibility — and seeing it through. People with the Moon here are described as intense, creative and unafraid of extremes.

Strengths

Endurance, creativity, honesty about difficult things and the capacity to bear responsibility.

Challenges

Excess, jealousy, moral rigidity and swinging between restraint and indulgence.

Bharani in relationships

Passionate and loyal, with strong desires. Trust matters more than romance.

Bharani at work

Creative arts, midwifery and care, law, finance and any work involving transitions or strict rules.

The womb holds and transforms; Yama keeps the boundary between life and death — together they make Bharani a mansion of bearing and releasing.

Bharani gets its longest stays around 2021, 2029 and 2038, when the Moon's apogee (its slowest point) lies in this mansion, and its shortest around 2025 and 2034, when perigee does.

Reading Bharani: gana, yoni and caste

  • Gana: Manushya — human: mixed, self-interested, neither of the extremes. Nearest Manushya neighbors: Uttara Bhadrapada (no. 26) and Rohini (no. 4).
  • Yoni: Elephant — shared only with Revati (no. 27); two charts with the same yoni get the top score for this factor.
  • Caste: Outcaste. Presiding deity: Yama, lord of endings; symbol: the yoni, a bearer of burdens.
