Justice taken too far

Shatabhisha Nakshatra

Shatabhisha is ruled by Lord Varuna. Lord Varuna is one of the most feared gods as he's known to punish the sinners. Lord Vishnu is the one who has described the law of nature. He's behind describing what is proper action, what is improper and the ones who disobey the law, it's Lord Varuna's duty to punish them.

Alongside Lord Yama, Lord Varuna is also holding us accountable for our karmas. It is said as per mythology whenever something devious, something improper is planned, Lord Varuna is there to witness it and is going to hold us accountable. In many ways he's the lord of right action just like Lord Mitra is the lord of right speech, honesty, truthfulness. This constellation is composed of 100 stars, which are symbolic of the all-seeing eyes that Lord Varuna possesses. No action escapes his attention and in our world this can translate to industries linked to surveillance and monitoring.

Everywhere we see in modern cities you find CCTV cameras, to something more sophisticated as a satellite monitoring our weather or other activities and since he's holding us accountable for our actions, even judges can have very strong Shatabhisha's influence. The native can even be a social activist, a lawyer or a politician. The native may want to set things right in society if something is going wrong.

Rahu in Shatabhisha

When Rahu is in Shatabhisha, I think you'd use technology to run surveillance programmes. Rahu is directly linked to the field of technology and this nakshatra as I've mentioned is all about keeping an eye. Here Rahu finds itself in the nakshatra ruled by itself. You're very likely to show Rahu-like qualities.

There'll always be something unconventional about you and people would find it very difficult to understand and read you. Your ideas, even though they might be futuristic and scientific in nature, would be very difficult for a normal person to understand. Combinations like these, when Rahu is so strongly involved, can link to the industries of the future. Cybersecurity comes to mind.

More and more professionals now are learning more about it. They're building a future in this sector. All industries, research-driven of the future, in my view, are related to this position. The native could also discover treatments for long-term health issues.

One of the major downsides would be in pursuit of justice, in pursuit of punishing the sinners, the native can go to the extreme. The native wouldn't know when to stop. If you are a crime investigator detecting cyber crime, for example, one good thing is that you'll never give up and you'll go to the extreme to find the extent of the fraud. But once you've caught the fraudster, you'd also go to the extreme, making sure the fraudster is punished as severely as possible.

There's going to be an extreme side to your character. Even though Shatabhisha is centred around a sense of right and wrong, when Rahu falls there, the native can have one's judgment clouded. The native can go after the wrong person. The native may not see what is right, what is wrong.

The native can delude oneself into thinking that this step I'm taking is in the right direction, even though it might be hurting the society. This is a difficult position. It's not an easy one. The major positive remains that the native can be behind scientific inventions of some kind. That's my view of Rahu in Shatabhisha.
