NAKSHATRA AND STORIES: MORE THAN A MYTH

When people first hear about nakshatras and start learning about the stories in the classical scriptures, there are people who are always puzzled as to why the need for such stories; they are of the opinion that these are just myths without any major significance. But these stories are the fabric of the matrix we know as life. When I first put my work into the public domain, the year 2021 as to many people and skeptics’ surprise, I had already completed my journey of the knowing oneself. And interestingly enough, a lot many critics considered me to be naïve because skills were never shown off, particularly with Jyotisha or occult. It is because of the boundaries of the laws of nature. But without explaining the exemplary way of the nakshatras I might find a lot of people will miss out on the actual fun. So there is a story about Vamana and Mahabali. When Mahabali couldn’t be thrown off his kingdom, lord Vishnu had to take the Vamana avatar to ask for the three steps. Considering how much land could he ask for with those three steps since Vaamana was a dwarf, Mahabali agreed. As a result, he lost all his kingdom. If Mahabali had listened to Shukracharya then his kingdom would have been saved. But he didn’t, so he had to lose. And Shukracharya lost one of his eyes in an attempt to stop Vamana, which was later restored. Now, this story is iterated multiple times, and any excellent astrologer or one who works with classical text and is knowledgeable enough will tell you that the nakshatra involved in this story is Shravana nakshatra. It is the 22nd Nakshatra when counted from Ashwini.

Now, whenever you have the Shravana nakshatra in any house of your natal chart, that specific house will not listen to you. The reason I choose the words “listen” is because the entire theme of the nakshatra is to listen to unspoken words. If it is placed in your fourth house, your own mother will not listen to you, therefore will have losses. If it is in the seventh house, your partner will not listen to you and, therefore will have the losses. And if 9th house your father or father figure and religious figure will not listen to you and have losses. If the ascendant has Shravana nakshatra, the native will not listen. It happens to be I have my placement associated with the 9th house and my own father doesn’t listen to me because of which he had losses and comes running to me for solution. So, using the same theme of the energy, I was so much at comfort when I first publish my book, knowing that the fraud religious, spiritual hotshots and father like figure will not heed to the words and will have their entire kingdom lost. In astrology, if one knows how to predict using muhurta and blank chart that person will always know with what intent a native has come to them. Similarly, in awakened people, it is a skill that one person can already know whether another one is awakened or not. They treat everyone humanely and respectfully unless the individuals are major swindlers. In retrospect, it all makes sense and follows the Shravana theme perfectly. People tried to undermine the contribution and not knowing what they were talking about made huge losses for them. Also, the ninth house is lineage, legacy. Just like Mahabali got thrown off from the crown, similarly all those who involved will be thrown off from their crown automatically and their legacies will end. It is still interesting to note that still there are many in the creative field such as tarot readers, self proclaimed witches etc, still putting on a show to play innocent while they practise useless spells and if the theme of the nakshatra is to be believed all such acts will directly harm their children (creative fields are 5th house and it is ninth from ninth house) as a backfire. It was one of the precise method I use for protection. So aren’t you curious enough to know what possibilities are there in your chart? If so, keep exploring. Knowledge, when applied becomes wisdom when retained becomes useless.
