Moon and Nakshatra’s both are very important in Jyotish. So I decided to make a small introduction and description about Moon and nakshatras.
Moon known as Chandra, Soma, Indu (bright drop), Atrisuta (Son of Atri), Taradhipa (lord of stars), Nishakara (the night maker), Nakshatrapati (Lord of nakshatras), Oshadhipati (lord of herbs), Udupati (lord of water), Kumudanatha (lord of lotuses), is karaka (significator) for mind, emotions, mother, watery places, liquids, milk, fluids in body etc., said to has 27 wives – 27 Nakshatras (constellations). According to vedic jyotisha all these 27 wives of the Moon were created by Daksha Prajapati and are called daughters of Kashyap. From all 27 Moon was bit more partial towards his wife Rohini. She was his favorite wife and Moon use to spend a lots of time with her ignoring the rest 26 wives. On this behavior the rest 26 wives got disappointed and complained to Daksha Prajapati. Daksha tried to a lot times,which was of no use, so Daksha got angry and cursed the Moon with Kshya rog, for preferring one wife over others, (that he will slowly perish and lose all his splendor). Moon started to wane and kept waning, whenMoon was about to disappear and the situation in the universe got really disturbed, he (Moon) prayed to the great God SHIVA. Lord Shiva was pleased by his tapasya, but also the fact that Daksha’s curse cannot be reversed too. As a result of Moon sadhana and tapasya, Shiva blessed Moon and he started waxing again. Shiva softened the curse for Moon. With the blessings of Shiva, the ardhachandra (the half Moon) plays an important visual symbol in hinduism. It also represents Shiva’s power. from the blessings of Shiva, the Moon now increases for 15 days (known as Shukla paksha) and then decreases for 15 days (known as Krishna paksha), having Poornima and Amawasya. Thus because of this the Moon now spends equal time with each of his 27 wives in a circular ever ongoing cycle. As he was closer to Rohini so Moon exalts in Rohini nakshatra.
Importance of Nakshatra:
Nakshatra is a made by a combination of two words Naksha (which means map) and Tara (which means Star). If we join these two words it represents star map. In hindi its being said.– आसमान में तारों के समूह को नक्षत्र कहते हैं. In vedic jyotish huge importance is given to nakshatras. Moon while revolving around earth takes 27.3 days to complete one circle. So it is been taken he travels all 27 nakshatra during this cycle. All 27 nakshatras are been classified according to their significations and qualities.
At the time of birth of a child — dasha pattern, planetary positions, lagna, name all been decided according to Moon placement and his Nakshatra. Personality of person is based on the nakshatra he is born with. Native Janam Nkashatra pays an important role in his life. Our saints divided the universe into 12 parts and named them 12 rashis (signs) as per their visiual looks and appearance. Later on more deep studies they again divided them into 27 parts called as nakshatras. So a nakshatra is deep study of a rashi (one can say this). One Rashi (sign) consist of 2.25 nakshatra. At the time of birth different planets are placed in different signs and also in different nakshatras accordingly. The nakshatra with in the sign assumes a particular significance.
These 27 nakshatras are divided into three categories –
Deva gana – the first auspicious constellation (nakshatra) is considered as Deva Gana. The nakshtras falling in this category are considered to be God-messengers, and are as subtle and refined as the Gods. Ashwini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha and Revati come under this category
Manushya gana — the second category is of Manushya Gana, which is considered as the medium constellation (nakshatras). Nakshatras falling in this category are considered like humans and work like humans. Bharani, Rohini, Ardra, Shravana, Purva Phalguni, Purva, Ashada, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashada, Uttara Bhadrapada comes into this category.
Rakshash gana – the third and last catgory is Rakshash Gana, which is considered as inauspicious nakshatra (constellation). The natives born under this nakshatras are not demons, but some bad and destructive tendencies are definitely present inside them. Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha, Chitra, Vishakha, Jyestha, Moola, Dhanistha, Shatbhisha comes under this category.
Natives having many planets in Rakshash nakshtra may be harsher than those who have planets in Deva nakshatra which are more soft. (we have to keep in mind that the Devas are not necessarily good and Rakshash are bad). Both have their role in creation to play and are equally important in life.
Nakshatras are also divided according to their sex:
Male Nakshatras are: Ashwini, Bharani, Pushya, Ashlesha, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Swati, Jyeshta, Moola, Purva ashada, Uttara Ashada, Sharava and Purva Bhadrapada.
Female Nakshatras are: Krittika, Rohini, Mrigashira, Ardra, Punarvasa, Purva Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Vishakha, Anuradha, Dhanistha, Shatabhisha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati.
Male Nakshatras are more active than Female nakshatras. Sometimes male nakshatras are governed by female deities and other way around.
