Nakshatra Bharani
It is the 2nd of the 27 nakshatras, 13 ° 20′ – 26 ° 40 ‘Aries consists of three dim stars to the east of Ashwini, forming a triangle in the constellation of Aries. Bharani is a “manukha”, an “earthly” star of bad nature. The influence of this star is restraining, limiting. People born under the influence of this star live a life full of struggle and suffering. This nakshatra is ruled by Yamaraj, the god of death and justice.
The moon in Bharan speaks of a person who is successful in work, capable, truthful, free from diseases and sorrows.
The symbol of this nakshatra is the vulva. The presiding deity is Yama, the god of death, who in India is called the king of dharma. The womb symbolism of Bharani points to the changes taking place inside, often maturing secretly, only to then suddenly appear in the world and demand a place under the sun. In this sense, Bharani means the impulses of the soul, which are often harbingers of violence and therefore need to be refined through self-control, willpower and discipline.
This nakshatra carries with it the possibility of idealistic or puritanical revolutions and social transformations, or it can mean extremely flexible, unprincipled morality. The womb purifies itself through menstruation, and Bharani directs similar processes, including such extremes of purity as personal sanctity or social utopia. Inner determination can enable people under the influence of Bharani to overcome huge handicaps to overcome some adversity, such as a serious illness.
However, those born with the ascendant or the Moon in Bharan often have a tendency to jealousy, or are themselves the objects of annoying jealousy on the part of others. As a birth symbol, Bharani indicates support in life, especially maternal love and help, and rules over food and hospitality. As a significator of development, it governs growth, mass, volume and large quantities; but since her symbol is the womb, she also means restraint and shyness. The new life that develops inside the womb is closely related to the larger system that ensures its growth. Bharani, according to his position in the horoscope, or the position of the planets in himself, rules both subordinates and lower in rank, and people of high rank and power. It also means tension and injuries that often accompany childbirth, and sometimes injuries below the waist. All birth is death, and all death is birth; these two forces are paradoxically both complementary and antagonistic, like the nakshatra itself and its deity Yama (death). When birth and death complement each other, the result is a calm and progressive change; However, when antagonism appears in the interaction, the result is destructive wars and revolutions.

Bharani is the birth of the new, struggle, hidden events, difficulties.
The essence and style of Bharani’s actions can be described in one word – extremes.
It oscillates between puritanism and bohemianism, naivety and wisdom, maturity and infantility, life and death. Bharani is the “most greedy” nakshatra. Its representatives often act instinctively than for any reason, want to experience everything that surrounds them, studying things, people and places with childlike immediacy. This same childishness, so useful for research and learning, can turn into unprecedented cruelty. The reason for this is a lack of responsibility for one’s actions.
The emotions and desires of Bharani personalities are usually so strong that few are able to suppress or quiet them. Those who are at a high level of development direct their enormous energy to positive and useful pursuits. Less developed look like butterflies, haphazardly rushing from one light to another. In today’s chaotic era, it is very difficult to properly unlock the potential of Bharani.
This nakshatra is characterized by the need for creativity. It is typical for women to implement it in the birth of children. Men create on other levels.
Bharana has an interplay of masculine and feminine beginnings, making it one of the sexiest nakshatras. Passionate and in love, she embodies nature itself, which creates an attraction between opposites. However, the developed type of Bharani natives understands that this attraction has much more to do with love, harmony and conscious union than with physiology.
Bharani are usually energetic, enthusiastic and adventurous. They can achieve their goal only under the constant guidance of someone most mature and wise. People born under this nakshatra are often pioneers in their field. They are not afraid of difficulties, strive to win a leadership position in any group, have a strong character and are able to withstand the vicissitudes of fate. They can look carefree, even if they build themselves up from the inside. Due to non-acceptance of other people’s decisions and views, they are often deprived of support from others. Very self-centered, intolerant of those whose point of view they do not agree with.
Bharani gives a person increased sensitivity. He emphasizes the smallest manifestations of kindness and care, but at the same time hardly forgives insults, is often restless, impatient, cannot stand things and people that do not correspond to his ideals, lives in his own world, striving to build a paradise on earth.
Taking it to extremes is Bharani’s main flaw. If they practice yoga, they become strict ascetics, but if they resort to sexual pleasures, to which they are very disposed, then they do not know the measure in this either.
This is a star that teaches self-restraint, control, discipline. Nakshatra is great for meditation. In life, a person with a pronounced Bharani may lose some significant things to create the illusion of matter in this world. People with a strong Moon are able to survive crises in their lives and create something new and positive from crises. If the Moon is weak, then a person can follow his mind, and there is a possibility of upset. Such qualities as impatience, resentment, judgment of other people, arrogance, pride, extremeness in actions, secretiveness can be inherent in people with this nakshatra. Bharani in the 1st house can give pride, strength, few children, long life. If Venus and Mars are strong, it can promote prosperity.

Padas (quarters) of Bharani Nakshatra:
- The first pada of the nakshatra (13 ° 20 ‘ – 16 ° 40 ‘ Aries) falls in the Navamsha of Leo, ruled by the Sun. It emphasizes creativity and self-absorption — the planets located in it can focus all attention on themselves. Enthusiasm and will inherent in the padi can be directed towards achieving positive goals if the native is positioned for it. The Sun, Mars and Jupiter are the strongest in this quarter.
- The second pada of the nakshatra (16 ° 40 ‘ – 20 ° 00 ‘ Aries) falls in the Navamsha of Virgo ruled by Mercury. The main manifestation of this pada is the spirit of service and a certain organization. Mercury, Mars and Rahu give good results.
- The third pada of the nakshatra (20 ° 00 ‘ – 23 ° 20 ‘ Aries) falls in the Navamsha of Libra ruled by Venus. It is characterized by the ability to harmonize opposites, and also does not accept restrictions in sex and relationships, which, depending on the level of development of the soul, can be manifested both in a positive and negative way. As the third pada is pushkara-navamsha, it helps to fulfill the native’s desires. Mercury, Venus and Rahu are best suited to harness the energies of this pada.
- The fourth pada of the nakshatra (23 ° 20 ‘ – 26 ° 40 ‘ Aries) falls in the Navamsha of Scorpio ruled by Mars. Her energy is extreme in every sense of the word. The planets here have an untamed character. Sun, Mars and Ketu are strong but do not always give favorable results. Only Jupiter and Venus help the native to use the potential of falling not to his own detriment, but wisely.
