Nakshatra Shatabhisha

Shatabhisha (6°40′ — 20 W Aquarius)

Varahamihira: Those who have the Moon in Shatabhish will be sharp but truthful in their speech, they will suffer misfortunes but defeat their enemies, they will be carefree in employment and lead an independent lifestyle.

General guidelines: Shatabhisha’s symbol is an empty circle, and her deity is Varuna, the Vedic god of heavenly and earthly waters. The circle carries the idea of ​​gathering one’s own, as its circle divides space into inner and outer. The circle simultaneously protects what is inside from some external danger and keeps it from merging with the larger whole, while isolating it and keeping it captive. A shoreline protects an object from water just as the horizon, the limit of visibility, surrounds the sky. Storehouses, cisterns, tanks, lakes, weapons and defenses, outer garments and coverings are under the rule of Shatabhisha. It is generally believed that Shatabhisha covers, veils the essence of things to keep them secret or hide them from prying eyes.

This asterism rules traps and paralysis, literally and figuratively. The empty circle can be understood as ‘zero’, a sophisticated mathematical concept which in some philosophical systems is a designation for the Nothingness that lies beyond all manifested forms. Alcoholic beverages are also ruled by Shatabhisha, perhaps through her ruling deity (one of the varieties of wine in ancient India was called varuni).

If the lagna or the Moon occupies Shatabhisha, then this may indicate a personality who prefers solitude, dreamy and contemplative, inclined to limit himself in food. Many people born under the stars of Shatabhishi are individuals of a scientific, philosophical or mystical nature. In business, serious failures are sometimes possible, sometimes due to the fact that they do not start to “pump rights” in time, and sometimes due to rudeness, due to which they make enemies and push away well-wishers. Diseases, the causes of which are in Shatabhisha, are very difficult to cure and may require the intervention of “a hundred doctors” (one of the possible translations of “shatabhisha”). Sometimes only Ashwin Kumars are able to cure diseases rooted in Shatabhish, as they tend to develop complications and become chronic.
