The invention no one had thought of

Ardra Nakshatra

Ardra falls entirely in the sign of Gemini and it's ruled by Lord Rudra, who we popularly know as Lord Shiva. Lord Rudra is the lord of destruction, Rudra translates to the one who roars. We know life to be full of cycles, the world also moves in cycles. He's responsible for destroying the creation so a new cycle can begin.

Naturally, such responsibility demands destruction, pain, suffering, devastation, death, bloodshed, all such things are naturally linked to the Nakshatra of Ardra. Lord Rudra is known to be the mightiest of the mighty, he's even feared by the gods. He's known to put an end to all things evil in the society. Perhaps we cannot imagine in our state as human beings how can destruction be important or why is it important or what is the meaning of destruction. Everything has a silver lining, every cloud has a silver lining, even Covid led to some good initiatives. I think a lot of us started thinking of life differently so destruction is important for evolution, we must understand that. All natural disasters that we experience, we hear about are directly linked to Ardra such as cyclones, earthquakes, wildfires, very common.

I was watching news of wildfires in Canada changing living conditions in major cities on that coast in the United States. Pandemics are also, in my view, linked to Ardra, and so are wars. There are no winners in a war; there is only death, destruction, devastation and disruption to people's lives. Perhaps there is something good in that too, and I would link all such natural or man-made disasters to Ardra. After a disaster, a devastated place creates new ground for growth and a new civilisation. We hear stories of civilisations that flourished thousands of years ago in places where they no longer exist.

Rahu in Ardra

When Rahu is in Ardra, the person is likely to stay in the phase of delusion much longer than with other planetary positions. The person may have ideas that, a few years later, make them think: ‘What was I thinking? That was very wrong.’

The person's curiosity is never ending. The person however at the same time is not willing to give things time, keeps hopping from one area to the other. I wanted to learn Spanish, I wanted to learn about geography, I wanted to travel to that place, I wanted to know about that culture. The person continues one's search for something but is not spending enough time on one thing.

I think a Rahu-Ardra-like person is going to fail to utilise the power of perseverance linked to Ardra. Having said that, such experiences are likely to lead to the native having very creative, innovative ideas. Therefore I feel Rahu-Ardra-like person can be behind creations and inventions which have never been thought of before. A Rahu-Ardra-like person can be an inventor and that's the positive linked to the curiosity and the restlessness linked to Rahu Ardra's way of life.

Rahu-Ardra-like person can be prone to addictions. The native is likely to be very fond of the wildlife and very fond of travel. The person is going to go through dramatic, life-altering, sudden events in life, particularly when the person is going through Rahu's Dasha. That is how you can use astrology to foresee when certain things might happen.

If you have Rahu in Ardra, its Antardasha, let's say, it was due in June 2025, then you can expect something which might feel painful at the beginning is going to happen. Perhaps on the other side, it'll leave you very strong, but whilst you are going through it, you'll feel that what you were expecting hasn't happened and you feel devastated by that. The good news, however, is that you always would know when the Antardasha or any Dasha is going to come to an end. So you can then have that ray of hope, even when you're going through a difficult time.

If Rahu is in Ardra, and it's in your first house, you're going to have a very eccentric personality. Your ideas, your way of thinking is going to be very unique. You are going to be an out-and-out outcast, in my view. Rahu is known to be the member of the planetary army and this Nakshatra is linked to different wars.

So the person may naturally be attracted to different weapons that different armies use and what strategies they follow.
