The serpents and Ashlesha
There are many tales of the divine serpents helping the Gods defeat the demons. Lord Vasuki is the king of the serpents. He helped the Gods churn the ocean, which made them immortal. Lord Vishnu is known to sit atop the body of Shesha, a divine serpent, which symbolizes the close relationship they share with the Gods. The serpents are a deadly force: they strike first and think later, and poison is their weapon. However, they are only to be feared by those who sin. The drugs and chemicals industry is directly linked to this nakshatra. They are worshipped for good health and protection. The serpents are atmospheric forces. Their realm has the lowest rank, but is said to be even more glamorous than the home of Lord Indra, the King of the heavens. It’s decorated with beautiful ornaments, has many streams and lakes. It’s full of riches and objects of desires, so all the whims and fancies of the serpents are fulfilled instantly. The serpents are known for their sex appeal, and so the native would be highly attractive and have a magnetic personality, which would leave others spellbound. Models, actors, drama artists, magicians, hypnotists, etc. are seen from this nakshatra.
Ashlesha personality and characteristics
An ancient tale describes the serpents’ ability to change their physical form, so the native would adapt to any situation. Under certain chart conditions, however, this ability could mean changing one’s position to whichever is most advantageous and manoeuvring into the higher echelons of society. The native could be infamous for such opportunistic behavior. Self-serving politicians, bureaucrats, administrators and C-level executives are seen from this Nakshatra. The serpents are highly intuitive. They sense a threat from a distance. So, the native could be working in the field of risk management, security services, or strategic consulting. The serpents are known to embrace their surroundings out of some unjust fear or phobia. Mars, a fearless planet, is debilitated in this nakshatra. The native would cling to relationships and hold on to possessions. Letting go of the past would be difficult for the native. The serpents are known to have their vision clouded time and again, which they regain after time spent in hibernation. The native may go through dramatic changes in life, which may push one back to the starting point, but one sees things more clearly due to such changes. Such experiences would make the native mentally strong. The native could therefore work as a psychologist, therapist or mental-health expert of some kind.
