Research plugged into technology

Anuradha Nakshatra

Anuradha is one of my favourite Nakshatras, and you'd find that out very soon. It's my favourite as it's ruled by Lord Mitra. Lord Mitra is known to be the keeper of peace and Lord Mitra is also known to be the Lord of Promises. Honesty and truthfulness are directly associated with Lord Mitra and therefore with this Nakshatra. Immediately you can understand why this is my favourite Nakshatra. Well, the world needs more peace and Lord Mitra is all about that.

Lord Mitra now holds us accountable for our word. If we've said something to someone that we'll do, we must do it as part of our duty as a human being. That quality of Lord Mitra is behind it. An Anuradha native will always come across as very honest, truthful and reliable.

It is not only about honesty and truthfulness; it is also about maintaining relations peacefully. That's very important. That's very, very important and it's directly linked to Anuradha and therefore you'd find diplomats, for example, having a strong Anuradha influence.

Rahu in Anuradha

Rahu and Anuradha make researchers who are combining their research with technology and their research can actually end up changing the future. The individuals who are doing their research in blockchain technology or artificial intelligence or machine learning, things of the future, your research can be centred around that and you'll have a strong desire to explore the world. On a physical plane you'll love to travel and if Rahu also falls in one of the travel-related houses under Rahu's dasha you'll find yourself running into many opportunities. That's how I see it.

This is an interesting position as Anuradha is about honesty whereas Rahu isn't. Here you may remain very honest to your purpose but you may also be self-serving. Whatever research, whatever work, whatever exploration you are responsible for, you might also keep your self-interest as a priority. In terms of bringing people together I think a Rahu-Anuradha-like native can be an expert in bringing people from different backgrounds together and the native oneself might be exposed to different cultures.

One issue that the native might have is impatience. Even though the native might be working on something which could potentially be groundbreaking, the native would lack the patience. The native might continue to desire big things: my research, my technology might change the future. But the native may not be ready to wait for that to happen naturally.

This can lead to a frustrating experience for the native. Rahu constantly would keep creating desire whereas Saturn may create some delays. Saturn is ruling Anuradha. Therefore the native can succumb to delusion.

The native may build a mental model of one's research thinking oh I'm going to reach that level but in reality that might not be the case. The native might succumb to delusion and the native can also fall prey to addictions which are linked to Rahu and also the Tamasic quality linked to Anuradha. The native can be behind scientific discoveries having Rahu in Anuradha but delusion is something the native would need to fight.
