    Krittika Nakshatra – The Flame That Cuts: Agni, Power, and Sacred Purification

    Send us a text In this episode, we explore Krittika Nakshatra, the star of inner fire, purification, and fierce clarity. Ruled by Agni, the god of fire, and spanning from the last degrees of Aries into early Taurus, Krittika carries a sharp, illuminating energy that can burn through illusion and awaken truth. We’ll dive into the potent mythology of the Krittikas – the celestial mothers who raised Kartikeya, the warrior son of Shiva. This ancient story reveals Krittika’s role as both protector and destroyer, as nurturer and purifier. We'll explore how this Nakshatra helps us confront what no longer serves us, cut through inner confusion, and anchor into strength and courage. Associated with the Sun and the power to burn away impurities, Krittika teaches us how to hold sacred boundaries, embody discipline, and become a vessel of sacred transformation — for ourselves and others. This is an episode for those who are ready to face the fire, clarify their path, and burn bright with purpose.

    Bharani Nakshatra – The Womb, Yama, and the Power to Bear It All

    Send us a text In this deeply evocative episode, we explore Bharani Nakshatra, the lunar mansion ruled by Yama, the god of death and dharma. Often misunderstood, Bharani holds within it the paradox of birth and death, of intense passion and profound restraint. It is the womb of transformation — the place where souls are prepared for the journey of embodiment and karmic reckoning. We’ll dive into Bharani’s complex symbolism: the yoni (female reproductive organ) as a symbol of sacred endurance and creative force, and the themes of containment, power, and moral clarity that arise when we learn to bear what life gives us without collapse. Learn how Bharani expresses its Shakti of apabharani — the power to carry away or cleanse — and how its planetary ruler Venus (Shukra) adds both pleasure and intensity to this Nakshatra’s karmic work. Whether you’re experiencing Bharani transits or have personal placements here, this episode offers tools and reflections for working with emotional depth, truth, and renewal.
