Abhijit

[Guest guest]

Dear Cynthia and List Members

The mainly unused Abhijit Nakshatra extends from Capricorn 6 40 to 10 54 and

therefore spans the nakshtras Uttarasadha and Sravana .The presiding deity is

Lord Brahma and rulership of this nakshatra is given to the Sun.Lord Brahma

also rules Rohini and is the only Demigod to get sole rulership over two

nakshatras although Indra and Agni rule one on their own and share Vishaka.

So Cynthia's Moon nakshars is in Abhijit hence her curiousity in the matter .It

is Godly by class .It is difficult to ascertain why the number of nakshatrsa was

reduced from 28 to 27 but some say it was because of ease of calculation .

 

24 minutes before and after midday is considered the Abhijit Muhurtha and is

considered a very auspicious time to start new work . The democratic Russian

state was started during this muhurtha .

 

I haven't done much research on the qualities of persons born under this

nakshatra .Supposedly in child hood they have health problems and in the

workplace they are dynamic personalities who blur the distnction between

employer and employee believing in the equality of all .They tend to make their

own careers .There is a distinction between these natives and Uttarashada in

that these natives have penetrating insight whereas Uttarasadha persons tend

towards naiive . In either case though they will not be pushed around .There

seems to be a tendency to change partners in search of the perfect soul mate .

I notice that Cynthia thinks she is somewhat different to other Uttarasadha

natives and this could be because she is truly born under Abhijit nakshatra .

In the end Abhijit nakshatra is one of many enigmas in Vedic astrology and

anything I have said should only be accepted tentatively .Hope this stimulates

some discussion
