Nakshatra Ardra
Ardra (6°40′ — 20°00′ Gemini) Varahamihira: The Moon in Ardra means a person who is irritable, ungrateful, restless, prone to hypocrisy and who takes pleasure in doing evil.
Ardra’s symbol is a tear, and her supreme deity is Rudra, the god of storms who rules over the forces of destruction.
Ardra (literally: “wet” or “damp”) is associated with moisture, dampness, vapors and liquids, with their volatility or fluidity. Weeping is due to loss or disappointment, which is exactly what the god Rudra, whose name is etymologically related to crying, as well as roaring and howling, which are the sound accompaniment of a storm, leads. Ardra, thus, is also associated with phenomena that bring loss and devastation. Traditionally, this nakshatra is attributed with a lack of gratitude and a fair amount of malice, which on an event level can mean treachery and deception in business and finance. Diplomacy, criticism, cruelty, lawlessness, vices, egocentrism, lies, fraud are also within Ardra’s competence.
If the lagna or the Moon is located in Ardra, then the native may be outraged by feelings that he cannot cope with. Planets located in Ardra and things related to the houses they rule can be sources of trouble and disappointment. If Mars – the natural significator of brothers – happens to be the owner of the 3rd house of brothers (which happens with lagnas in Virgo and Aquarius) and at the same time occupies Ardra, then the native may not have brothers or there may be difficulties in relations with them, or the brother or the sister may die or be very unhappy. Since Ardra is feminine, if the lord of the 5th house of the horoscope is associated with it, the first child is expected to be a girl, although another opinion is that if any graha related to children falls in this nakshatra , she often becomes barren. If Ardra is prominently displayed in your horoscope, then the source of courage (although its indicators here look unimportant) may be for you to think that loss can be the beginning of new achievements and that your tears will become the moisture that will make your fields even more fertile . If nothing ever died in the world, eventually there would be no room for anything new or different. Rudra, who is an incarnation of Shiva, is truly the destroyer of unhappiness as he removes all that has survived. He who endures the trials and tribulations of Ardra acquires the pride and peace of a person who has learned the true value of things, learned what some serious achievement is worth.
