Ashlesha Nakshatra

Ashlesha (1640′ – 30W Cancer)
Varahamihira: Those who have the Moon in Ashlesha are contemptuous of other people’s work, indiscriminate in their food, sinful, ungrateful and skilful in leading people by the nose.

General Guidelines: Ashlesha’s symbol is the coiled serpent, and her supreme deity is Sarpas, the deified serpent. Ashlesha is responsible for everything related to snakes. Indians imagine snakes as insidious reptiles that, before strangling the victim with their rings, hypnotize it with body movements and gaze. Snakes leading a secretive lifestyle like to mask their actions. For their insincerity, greed, lying, cold-bloodedness, as well as for their painful, poisonous bites, they became the main figures in parables. They are also credited with considerable wisdom, cunning, insight, hypnotism, as well as primal energy and strength, especially sexual energy. As such, Ashlesha stands for entanglement, connectedness, torment, lies, secret sexual relationships, excruciating pain, and other archetypal-serpentine manifestations, as well as insight and wisdom. Insight leads to holistic awareness, but this awareness often leads to misunderstandings, painful rifts, and other serious troubles in life.

Lagna or Moon in Ashlesh often means a rude character, which, when defeated by other factors, can provoke the hatred of others. Boxer Mohammed Ali, a man with a cool personality who hypnotized his opponents and fans, taunted his envious, was born with Ascendant Ashley. Former President Lyndon Johnson, also born with an Ascendant in Ashles, fully revealed its deep insidiousness. Ashlesha can have a subversive effect on the characteristics of some planets in it. The moon in Mahatma Gandhi’s horoscope, being the lord of the 10th house of career, was in Ashlesh, and his career took a turn for the worse several times. One of the unique properties of Ashlesha is that it gives favorable results if occupied by Ketu aspected by Jupiter.
